The Best Classic Wedding Photographers in Asheville, NC

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures. I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

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!

At Asheville Elevated Photography, I approach each wedding with an eye for timeless beauty and genuine connection. My style blends an editorial feel with natural storytelling — so your gallery is filled with images that are both artful and deeply personal. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a misty mountain overlook, celebrating under the canopy of an old oak, or gathering loved ones in a charming Asheville venue, I’m there to capture it all — from the big moments to the small ones that often mean the most.

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years across the country.

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Hi, I’m Meg! If you want a wedding photographer who feels like a friend cheering you on all day, that’s me. I’m warm, upbeat, always smiling, and I genuinely love people. I’ll happily chat with your friends, your fam, and very likely, your mom. Connection comes naturally to me, and it shows in the way I document weddings. I’m drawn to laughter, happy tears, tight hugs, and all the in between moments that make your day feel like yours. I want your photos to feel warm, honest, and full of joy, the kind that bring you right back to how it felt to be surrounded by your favorite people.

Love has a way of surprising us. I know this from experience. My husband and I married, divorced, and then found our way back to each other seven years later. That journey taught me something profound: when love is real, it doesn’t follow rules. It evolves. It deepens. It returns. That’s the kind of love I photograph—the kind that chooses each other, again and again. That’s why I do what I do. Weddings aren’t just a beautiful day, they’re your story. The in-between moments, the laughter, the tears, the glances no one else notices--those are the moments I live to capture.

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit four times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs and horse, or exploring the world around me.
