Josh Lowe Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Arden, NC

I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember, always drawn to genuine moments and natural light. As a wedding photographer based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, I’m inspired by both the landscape and the love stories I get to capture. What drives me is connection—between couples, families, and the fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered. I’m passionate about creating timeless, emotion-filled images that reflect who you truly are—not just how your day looked, but how it felt. From the quiet joy of a first look to golden hour laughter, I’m honored to preserve those memories.

Hiring Josh as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We knew from the start he was the one take our pictures! He was warm, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. He didn’t just show up and snap photos — he really took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and make sure every detail was captured beautifully. I had wanted every little detail captured & he did just that. Josh’s attention to detail was incredible. He noticed things we never would have thought of and made sure each shot was thoughtfully composed. Whether it was fixing a stray hair, adjusting lighting, or waiting for just the right moment, he truly went above and beyond. He was very patient & took his time to get the right pictures. Our photos are absolutely stunning — natural, emotional, and full of life. He captured the little in-between moments, the big emotional ones, and everything in between. It’s like we get to relive our day every time we look through them. I love looking back at our pictures & did I mention how fast turn around time was!? We got these pictures back so fast!! Josh was calm, kind, and blended in so seamlessly that even our guests complimented how great he was. He made us feel so comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. He also captured moments I didn’t expect and I’m so glad to have those to look back on! We are so grateful for his time, care, and incredible talent. If you're looking for someone who will not only take amazing photos but truly care about your wedding — Josh is your guy! 10/10 Highly Recommend!!

I began this journey several years ago (formerly as Brandi-Lee Photography). Recently, I had decided to transform my brand into a more intentional & creative art. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film. I like to consider myself as a visual storyteller.

The quality of her work was stunning—natural, beautiful, clean, and truly amazing. She was kind, patient, gentle, and cooperative, offering great ideas for our photographs. Overall, having her by our side on our special day was a joy. We could not have asked for a better wedding photography experience. I highly recommend Brandi-Lee Photography to any couple seeking exceptional service and breathtaking results.

Hi, my name is Malia! I am a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I specialize in Weddings, families and newborns. I have always been passionate about photography and I started when I was young with a little camera my mom got me from a thrift store and just grown from there. Since then, I have worked with other photographers and my mother who owns a wedding rental company so I know my way around weddings. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me exploring with my little family!

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was crucial, and Malia surpassed all expectations. From our initial “meeting” to receiving our stunning photos, every interaction was smooth and professional. Malia possesses an incredible talent for blending into the background while capturing the most beautiful and raw moments of our special day. Reviewing our wedding album felt like experiencing the entire event again; each photo perfectly conveyed the emotions and memories I felt on my special day. Her ability to capture candid moments discreetly is truly remarkable. Throughout the wedding and reception, I hardly noticed her presence, yet the photos she captured were nothing short of magical. Malia has an exceptional eye and mad dog editing skills! Although I hope to never marry again, I can confidently say that I would choose Malia for any future photography needs. If you're seeking a photographer who not only takes breathtaking photos but also understands the significance of capturing genuine moments, look no further than Malia. She will undoubtedly surpass your expectations and deliver timeless memories that you will cherish forever. Thank you Malia!!!

I was able to book Emilee at short notice, and found her to be efficient, professional, and very easy to work with. We came up with a shot list, but she had a good eye in terms of suggesting ways of capitalizing on the venue and working with the space in real time - her confidence in directing us made me feel comfortable and natural. Our pictures came out beautifully, in what I feel is record time compared to my peers’ experiences with photographers, and now have our happiest moments with friends and family captured for us to look back at in the future.

Hi there! I’m Amber, a wedding photographer with a passion for capturing moody, candid moments that tell your love story in the most authentic way. I’d love to be a part of your journey, capturing the honest, emotional moments that make your wedding unforgettable. Let’s work together to create something beautifully unique, just like your love story.

Let me tell you about Miss Amber! This girl not only took amazing photos but she completely came to my rescue! I had my wedding in August, originally I had booked a photographer right at the beginning of the year around January - my photographer I had booked ended up doing what is every brides worst fear, and cancelled on me the WEEK before my wedding!! Unbelievable right! So, as any bride would do - I scoured the internet trying to find someone available and within my budget, with little to no luck with it being such short notice. Amber on the other hand, I found her in a PNW wedding group on Facebook where my mother in law had posted about needing a photographer - and this woman, dropped what she was doing flew out to Portland Oregon from Georgia, and was with me for a FULL 12 hours on my wedding day - literally start to finish. On top of that, she is very sweet and professional and definitely down played how talented she is!! When we got our sneak peek photos back on our honeymoon I quite literally had my breath taken away! The photos are absolutely gorgeous!! I cannot express enough how amazing she was, she completely took the stress of photos of my shoulders (we all know for brides the less stress the better), she posed us, gave us pointers for how to stand, what to say to make each other giggle, funny pictures and serious ones! She ticked every box!! If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion I cannot express enough that this is your gal!! Thank you so much Amber, we will treasure these photos forever!

His photographs turned out great, and we can definitely say he gave us a good value for what we paid. We would gladly recommend him to any of our friends for their photography work.
