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 :)

Working with Chynna was an absolute dream from start to finish. She coordinated our wedding in Martha’s Vineyard, and I honestly don’t know how we would have pulled it off without her. Starting with our very first meeting, she brought such calm, clarity, and confidence to the entire process. What could have easily been overwhelming turned into something joyful, seamless, and fun — thanks to Chynna. She handled every detail with such grace and precision — managing vendors, logistics, timelines, and last-minute curveballs like a pro. It was clear from day one that she not only knows what she’s doing, but truly cares about her clients and their vision. She listened closely, gave thoughtful advice, and always had a solution ready before I even had to ask. On the day of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything ran flawlessly from the ceremony to the reception, and that peace of mind was the greatest gift I could have asked for. So many of our guests commented on how beautifully everything flowed, and I was able to be fully present knowing Chynna had everything under control. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is organized, creative, deeply kind, and a true professional — Chynna is pure magic. She made our Martha’s Vineyard wedding unforgettable, and we will forever be grateful for her talent, heart, and dedication.

I cannot recommend Ms. Melissa and her company enough! They made me feel and look like the absolute best version of myself. The makeup was flawless, lasted all night, and looked stunning both in person and in photos. My hair was exactly what I envisioned — elegant and perfectly styled.

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.

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.

Tina is incredible. Not only was her work exceptional, she truly valued and listened to what my desired look for my wedding was. During my trial, we had the best time chatting and discussing what I was going for. As the day went on, I realized I wanted to make some changes to my makeup for the big day. When my wedding day came around, she took notes and made all the changes from the trial perfectly. I've never had airbrushed makeup before, but after working with Tina, I will always come back to her should the need ever come up again. I can't recommend her enough. I felt absolutely flawless.

With a broad range of interests, this couple and their colleagues can offer an extensive variety of instruments like solo classical guitar, guitar/violin duet and Kylie B. & the Birds, a jazz ensemble.

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.

Hiring Andy for my daughter’s mountain wedding (Bella and Kevin Phillips) was hands down the best decision we made. Yes, he’s not cheap — but after seeing the photos and watching how he guided us through the entire day, I honestly feel like he’s worth even more. We were lucky to afford him when we did, because his talent is on a level that won’t stay accessible to normal people for long. Andy has this chill, friendly personality that instantly puts everyone at ease. He knows the area and helped us plan the entire wedding from start to finish. He’s a true artist with an incredible eye for beauty and real, unscripted moments. Nothing staged, nothing forced — just genuine emotion and the kind of shots you can’t recreate even if you tried. Many of the shots he took, especially the veil shots, look like they belong in a magazine. Every single photo feels alive and full of heart. It’s honestly not possible to give him a high enough rating — five stars just isn’t enough.

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!!!

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!

We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

Highland is definitely the best venue in Asheville! The rooftop has beautiful mountain views, the barrel room has a great skylight and hanging greenery, and the reception space can be made into whatever you want it to be. We used all three spaces for our wedding and it has great flow and plenty of space for a larger guest count. Erin & Bailey were both extremely helpful throughout the entire process from touring/initial questions to all the tiny details leading up to the big day. Our wedding was scheduled shortly after the hurricane in fall 2024, and we were so passionate about having it at Highland that we rescheduled to 6 months later, and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Amazing staff, excellent draft beer, convenient to downtown, and a beautiful space; we can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

Carly was consistent, easy-going, clear, and just a delight to work with! She took beautiful photos for our engagement shoot, an adventure bridal shoot, and our wedding day. It was such a relief to have her around on the wedding day, she arrived just in time and helped me calm down when others were stressing out around me. Carly made it easy to follow posing directions when we didn't really know what we wanted and weren't used to being in front of the camera. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

So, I came to Ryan through rec from a friend with very good taste. She told me he was great at creating a vibe, and that was all I needed to hear. I didn’t look into anyone else once Ryan let me know he had my date open. He sends out a pretty comprehensive questionnaire to get a feel for what you want, and he 100% delivers on it. Our wedding was pretty low-key (no official organizer) and Ryan was chill about making announcements, etc. when we checked in with him in the moment. Should I ever need a DJ again, I’ll absolutely hit him up. If anything, I’d probably just let him have more free reign next time. The man knows what he’s doing.

My name is Ashton. I’m drawn to the things that can’t be recreated: a glance across a crowded room, a hand held a little tighter, the feeling of knowing your life is about to change. My work is rooted in documenting those moments as they unfold, without performance or pretense. I believe the most meaningful photographs are the ones that feel honest. The ones that transport you back not just to how it looked, but to how it felt. Through a blend of documentary storytelling and refined imagery, I create photographs that become part of your history. Artifacts of love, connection, and the people who made it all matter.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashton at Eye of the World Photo is a seasoned photographer and an incredibly kind individual. Having known Ashton for quite some time, I have seen her skill level only advance in past years. She has a creative ability as well as technical knowledge when it comes to photography that I think is so important for every photographer to have. Not only is she a skilled photographer, but she also carries a background from the wedding planning business that gives her great insight and helps cater to the photography needs of her couples in order to assist them in having the wedding of their dreams.

Jeremy was such a JOY to share our wedding weekend with! We found him through our wedding venue, and once we shared a quick phone call, I immediately knew we had to have him on our team. Jeremy is genuine, engaging, professional and so, so calm (even in the inevitable chaos on wedding day). Jeremy helped me feel relaxed and supported during our entire day, going far above the job of a photographer. In addition to who he is simply as a person, he is also the BEST photographer! He had sneak peeks back to us in less than 24 hours and I was absolutely blown away. He captured the most special moments that made me feel like I was reliving the day all over again! It was a honor to share our wedding with him.
