Molly is an amazing DJ and knows everything about curating an amazing wedding experience, setting the right flow and vibe for the entire day, from ceremony to last call. The music is such a crucial part of a wedding day (and having been to other weddings that really missed the mark on music), I knew we have to find someone we could trust to create the right vibe. Her system of using an music app and questionnaire in advance really helped us start figuring out all the many music details during wedding planning and she helped guide us when we weren't quite sure what kind of music we wanted for several moments. We actually had 3 locations she had to run music for: ceremony site, indoor dinner, and outdoor dance floor, and she navigated it all with ease. We had such an awesome time dancing and she seamlessly flowed the dance floor music, building it up throughout the night and overall just reading the room so well. Everyone had an amazing time at our wedding. THANK YOU MOLLY!

We had the best experience working with Nick for our engagement photos! From the moment we met him, he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through poses in a way that felt natural, relaxed, and fun. We shot at The Looking Glass and up in the mountains, and the views and locations he helped us choose were absolutely breathtaking—truly unforgettable.

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.

Sam and Kate were an indispensable element to the magic of our wedding. They not only played a beautiful set that we specifically arranged from their list of songs, but they impeccably learned four additional songs that have special meaning for me and my (now) wife--and the music of which was not all easy to find! They took the time to understand our ceremony schedule and play the special requests at their specific times--offering us a spiritual experience and gift that will remain in our hearts forever and brought special power, sublimity and endurance to the ceremony and vows. I have immense gratitude--wish we could do it again! But alas--for a once in a lifetime event--you can rely on these two to take care of you and create something beautiful.

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.

Carolina Flowers provided the flowers for our wedding, but the experience was not as smooth as we had hoped. Their online communication style was quite tough, and the quality of their work felt a bit improvised. While the flowers were beautiful, they did not fully listen to our requests - we asked for white and blue flowers, but ended up with pink and purple flowers included in our bouquet and decor. Overall, the flowers were a disappointment and did not fully capture the look we were going for on our special day.

If we could give more than 5 stars to Michael, we would. Michael is an amazing photographer and beyond that just a genuine amazing human being. When we first started looking for a photographer, we both went into it knowing that we are both incredibly awkward people when asked to pose. With this in mind, we started the big search - the one that everyone reminds you that will tell your stories for years. Enter finding Michael - his website mentioned candidness, and a documentary type of style. Two things that immediately caught our eye - not to mention looking through his previous work- which is just unbelievable! Throughout the year leading up to the wedding, Michael was incredibly helpful. He answered any questions we had and offered super helpful suggestions when figuring out the flow of the day. One tidbit that I would recommend to any bride is work with your photographer to create that timeline - a tidbit from Michael. He also managed to have a blog post for every type of question I had (and I had a lot LOL). A few weeks prior to the wedding, Michael met with us via zoom to go over the different elements of our days and to go over our family list (which was insanely helpful day of because we were able to knock those out)! When our wedding day arrived, he was there early to get everything set up and his presence just put everyone at ease. It felt like someone who had been part of our family friends rather than a wedding vendor - which was another element that was important to us: good vibes! Our wedding day and the pictures felt just like us - entertaining and full of laughter. We hiked through some trails for our first look, walked along a highway, and climbed rocks- which lead to nothing but new memories and lots of giggles. We both were really nervous about taking the posed pics but Michael put us in our natural element and just focused on capturing our story, which was a trend all throughout the day. None of us will ever forget the fact we forgot to tell him we had a 6 foot hoagie at the ceremony. We also had a blast using bubble guns for a photo op fake exit and learned there is such a thing as too many bubbles! Within a day after the wedding, we had a sneak peek - and we generally could not believe how AMAZING our photos turned out. It’s still surreal that we could look that good in photos, he captured exactly what we were hoping -us having the time of our life and starting our life together as husband and wife. CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH! P.S. Plus how awesome is it when your vendors are so cool that they feel like friends by the end of the wedding so you have to get a selfie to commemorate the hours of planning and talking you did to make the day one of the most incredible days EVER!!!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Andy as our wedding photographer! From the start, he was very helpful as we laid out a plan for our day - giving us so many great recommendations for the area we wanted to have our ceremony, as well as vendors from the Asheville area. This alone was wonderful, but we were blown away by Andy's flexibility and willingness to work with us when we had to completely change our wedding plans at the last minute due to the devastation left by Hurricane Helene in the WNC area. We ended up moving everything to Colorado, and we are so grateful to the hours Andy put in to find great locations, research how weather could affect us and specific locations at the time of year we were there, as well as thinking of details to make our guests, and ourselves, more comfortable when we weren't thinking of these things at the last minute. Our wedding day in Colorado was absolutely perfect, and the photos are incredible, and we truly feel like so much of that was successful because of Andy's assistance. From the logistics, to being a fantastic photographer committed to getting the best, most beautiful shots for us, to also just being an all around wonderful, kind person to interact with - we can't recommend him enough. Thank you Andy for everything!!
