  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500

I’m an Asheville based Wedding and Lifestyle photographer, specializing in classic and timeless imagery. Being in this business for 5 years, I’ve been lucky enough to meet and work with so many amazing people, from couples to vendors alike. I’m married to my high school sweetheart and have been together for a total of 13 years. So love is my language! We have a beautiful baby girl named Juliette and a German Shepherd named Odin. Outside of work, I love going to concerts, trying new food, travelling and spending quality time with my family!

From the moment we first spoke with Shannon's Studios, I was impressed by her quick response time, professional and detailed communication style. The quality of her work was absolutely jaw-dropping - she captures the most amazing shots that truly reflected the joy and love of our family. Shannon is such a compassionate photographer and was so understanding of our needs and incredibly patient throughout the entire process, helping to ensure our family photos went very smoothly. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive these moments for years to come. Shannon's Studios is hands down the best photographer we could have asked for. I will continue to use Shannon’s Studios for any event or family sessions that I will need in the future.

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $630

Based in Arden, North Carolina, I am a wedding hair and makeup business. I am a licensed cosmetologist and self-taught makeup artist with over four years of experience and I has worked with a variety of skin tones and types. With the skill to craft looks ranging from natural to glamorous, I can bring any client's vision to life.

Megan made all my hair and make-up dreams come true for my wedding! I came to her with a vague idea of wanting a natural, glowy look for my make-up and a romantic high bun for my hair and she was able to bring my vision to life! I am so glad we did the trial before the big day, because we were able to work together to make some tweaks that made all the difference. As someone who hasn't historically liked how I look with make-up on, I felt like the most beautiful bride thanks to Megan's careful skill and artistry. Also, my look was able to weather wind, tears, and a full night of dancing! I absolutely recommend Megan's services if you are looking for a hair and make-up artist in western NC!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly cannot thank Molly enough for everything. She not only showed up for us, she SHOWED OUT. From the moment we met Molly on Zoom, we knew she was gonna be the perfect person for us to handle our many music ideas and dreams. Her kind, authentic, fun, sweet, and positive energy and vibes are contagious. Music is a very important part of me and my wife’s relationship, so it was very important that we found someone who wasn’t just a DJ, but who also understood the importance of music and how it can be a foundational piece of a relationship and how music can influence and enhance experiences. Molly not only understands that, but she lives and breathes that, and it comes through in her gift of helping you curate the soundtrack to the best day of your life. I had envisioned every part of our wedding over and over, and created playlists to those moments, and Molly and her app allowed us to easily and seamlessly put that vision together. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to those playlists and pictured our wedding day, and she made it all happen, flawlessly. Every one of our music fantasies came through exactly as we had hoped and dreamed, all of which was made possible because of Molly. She even created a version of an ODESZA song just for us that would be timed exactly right for our first kiss after we said our I Dos and that played as we walked back up the aisle together. It was perfect and exactly how I pictured it. Molly will be as hands-on or hands-off as you want her to be. She meets you where you’re at and uses her professional expertise and experience to help guide you in the right direction while you’re on your wedding journey full of never-ending decisions. During the reception, she kept the vibes UP all night, she read the room, and she had people on the dance floor the entire time (especially us). I don’t think I’ve danced that much in my entire life. And we’re ravers lol. She gave us our dream dance party, and we had an absolute blast. Everybody loved her and thought she KILLED it. We got so many comments from our guests saying, “your DJ was amazing!!” Even people we didn’t expect to see dancing made an appearance or two on the dance floor. She hit on so many levels, and we are sooo beyond grateful for her. Also, her energy is just magnificent and infectious! I literally felt so happy whenever she’d walk up to us, I was like “omg hi, I’m so happy to see you,” like we were old friends. She is professional and fun all in one. She has a very calming and grounding presence, too, which was very much needed and appreciated on wedding day. Long story short, Molly was the only DJ we talked to and we never once regretted that decision. She was an angel to us before and during the wedding. We are already trying to figure out when we can go see her play! The best advice in wedding planning we got was this: if you follow your gut and hire the right people, you can trust your decision and you can trust the professional that you hired to get the job done right. And we are so glad we followed our gut and hired DJ Molly Parti :)

I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Chynna! She was truly a lifesaver throughout the whole wedding planning process. She kept me on track in such a calm, encouraging way and somehow always made me feel ahead of the game instead of stressed or overwhelmed. She was my go-to sounding board for everything, from the big decisions down to the tiniest details, and always had the best advice. Most importantly, she worked so hard to bring my vision to life, and seeing it all come together on our wedding day was beyond anything I could have imagined. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her, and I’m so grateful for all the love and energy she put into making our day so special. Highly, highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

I used Carolina Flowers' Wedding & Celebration Shop as more of a DIY approach to the floral decor at my wedding (and as a more budget friendly option) and I could not be more pleased with everything! It was easy to select what I wanted on their website, place the order, and select a delivery window for the morning of my wedding. I provided them with the most minimal guidance, essentially what my wedding colors were, and the bouquets and arrangements they created blew me away. Honestly more beautiful than I could have imagined or requested. The delivery was perfectly on time, to the minute, and they provided guidance on how to keep arrangements looking their best until they were needed. I sent a message with some questions prior to placing my order and Emily was so helpful. The only thing that makes me sad is that I can't keep my beautiful bouquet forever!!

They truly contributed to making our special day unforgettable.

The property is so beautiful! My wedding was April 11 so there wasn’t really any leaves on the trees yet but the view of the mountains they have is so great you don’t really need them. It was fun getting to stay for a four day weekend and enjoy time with everyone on more than just the wedding day! We were able to do the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing all outside at this venue which was what was most important to me. We rented golf carts which was very useful because of how the property is split up by a hill.

Hi! My name is Jacqueline and I've been in the photography industry for almost a decade. I believe that when I pick up my camera, I am there to tell a story. On your wedding day, I am there to document a new chapter of your love story. I capture all the intimate moments of your day, and then some!

From the first phone call to my wedding day, Wayward Wanderess Photography was simply wonderful to work with. Their communication was always timely, understanding, clear, and incredibly helpful. The quality of their work is truly extraordinary - their photos captured the magic and beauty of our special day in a timeless way. They were extremely helpful with keeping us on schedule and wrangling everyone, all while maintaining a calm and relaxed presence that was a joy to be around. I could not recommend Wayward Wanderess Photography more highly!

Hey there! John & Amy here, the husband and wife team behind the cameras. We’re both adventurers, daydreamers, and you guessed it wildly in love. Fun fact, we’re actually highschool sweethearts and have been together for 10+ years. We are currently based in NC and are transitioning to WA in 2022. We love to travel and are down to adventure throughout the US & Beyond. We both have a heart for exploration and love working with couples who share this adventurous spirit. Genuine smiles, hearty laughs, spontaneous adventures, that’s what we’re all about.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are over the moon with our photos and videos from Amy and John. The quality is incredible, and the quantity is unbelievable. They delivered an incredible amount of photos so quickly, and our friends and family have commented several times that it looks like our wedding was featured in a magazine spread because the quality is so impressive. We’ve been looking through them nonstop, and every time we see some new gem. They captured so many big and small moments throughout the weekend. It is incredible that they were able to capture so much without us or our guests feeling like there were cameras everywhere. They blended seamlessly, and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with them all day. They were so kind and lovely to work with and directed us beautifully, while allowing us to be ourselves and capturing genuine and authentic moments. They both brought such a calm presence. We can’t believe they captured so much content and so many angles when we don’t even remember them doing that - we mostly remember them being by our sides and talking and laughing with us. So many of our guests have said similar things. They truly impressed everyone and have given us so many incredible photos and videos to remember the weekend. Hiring them was such a great decision. We would 100% do it again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

I’m Andy Wickstrom and I’ll help you bring your wedding day adventure to life, but document it all in a style that feels authentic, modern and full of emotion. With over 40 five-star Google Reviews, and more than a decade of photography experience documenting adventurous couples and outdoor athletes, I’m stoked and ready to find creative ways to tell the story of your epic day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Trust me when I say, Andy is without a doubt the guy you want photographing your wedding. From the moment I saw the first of his portfolio, I knew he was the perfect fit. He showed how valuable and professional he is from the very beginning. I forgot to confirm our initial meeting, but Andy made it work anyway, a sign of adaptability that we greatly appreciated. He is easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable, and is very helpful in explaining options and posing. I am extremely picky about photos, so I looked at many portfolios before choosing to interview anyone, and Andy has the best eye I’ve seen by far. His photos are timeless, artsy, and just downright beautiful. You will get an amazing variation of photos: movement, perfect lighting, details, posing (with his help, thankfully!) and THE BEST candid photos. We had never been to a wedding like ours, but Andy gave great advice and really helped us visualize and plan our day. We got married shortly after Hurricane Helene so we couldn’t get to our original adventure session hike, but Andy had a whole album of back up hikes for us to choose from, all of which were just as stunning as our first choice. We had the best time spending our day with Andy, we truly could not be happier with our photos. We’re only a year out from our wedding and I’m already scheming for an anniversary shoot! Choose Andy, I promise you’ll never regret it!

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
Eugene was absolutely fantastic to work with! From the moment we met him, he made us feel comfortable and at ease. He has a wonderful ability to capture those natural, candid moments, and his style really allowed us to be ourselves. There was no awkwardness at all—just genuine joy and connection throughout the day. Our photos turned out beautifully. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding in Asheville NC!
