Evan Taylor Studio

5.0

Greenville, SC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Black Mountain, NC

We are photographers for hire with a love for candid moments and a modern, fine art aesthetic. Evan is your point person and lead photographer. He has been shooting weddings, portraits, and brand work for over 6 years. Gabrielle’s background lies in visual arts and theatre, and comes well into play during creative decision making. Her attention to detail and eye for beauty is unmatched. We look forward to partnering with you to create and capture, whatever the story.

As a wedding planner of 15 years, I don’t review fellow vendors without 100% confidence. I without a doubt have that in Evan Taylor and his team from my clients initial contact through the many logistical transitions on wedding day, Evan’s professionalism and communication excelled beyond any expectations (and I’m pretty particular). It didn’t stop there. A couple of weeks later, Evan delivered the most beautiful gallery from our couples wedding day. No detail, or expression missed. Truly awe-inspiring at every capture. I highly recommend Evan Taylor and look forward to referring him to my future couples.

Stefanie Haviv Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Black Mountain, NC

Hi! I'm a Charlotte native, mom of 3, horse and cat mom, passionate cook, artist, gardener and all things creative. I love hearing love stories, getting to know my couples, and really working my hardest to not only deliver full wedding day coverage, but that WOW factor, that makes you KNOW in your heart you chose the right photographer.

Stefanie was awesome! Super personable and able to get us to smile naturally so easily! We had an amazing time during our engagement shoot! Our wedding was a little unorganized to say the least plus the fact that it was an outdoor wedding in a tropical storm but Stefanie handled it like a champ and got us some absolutely stunning photos. We’ve only seen the sneak peeks of the wedding so far but we are excited to see the rest!

Wilder Weddings Collective

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

Wilder Weddings Collective is a dedicated team of elopement and wedding photographers passionate about capturing wild love and real emotion. Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

From start to finish we can not say enough about how great our experience working with Carolyn and Jake was (formerly CarolynMariePhotography). Getting married/eloping in a pandemic was inherently stressful and Carolyn was so much more than just a photographer for us, she truly guided us through every step of our planning process. When the universe still let our best laid plans (and back up plans) take a turn she was there to make sure we were still having the best day and rewrote my wedding day timeline for me about 3 times on the spot. The photos we received are STUNNING, but having them help us through our wedding day was honestly priceless - I can’t imagine getting married without them we honestly had so much fun. You’ll have the best time with them and still feel like you’re alone together at the same time when it matters. The organization and promptness is on point, the recommendations/referrals were amazingly helpful, the photos are absolutely beautiful and these are GOOD PEOPLE. You will not regret hiring them for your big day!!

Adrian Etheridge Photography

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is relaxed and extremely professional at the same time! She drove from Asheville, NC to where we live in Charleston, SC for our engagement pictures and we were both immediately comfortable. Adrian did an amazing job capturing our wedding and not only our personalities but those of our loved ones as well. We got our pictures back very quickly and there's not a bad one in the bunch!

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
Juan and his wife Emily took the most BEAUTIFUL photos of my fiancé and I in Asheville, NC. His style is classic with a modern twist. He captures movement shots that look like we were sprinting off to a romantic getaway. His wife helped capture images as well and provided some great input on several shots. Both so kind, patient, and good at their job. I am so thankful to have such priceless photos. I recommend Juan and Emily for any event that you want to capture the memories via photo.

I believe your photos should have a timeless feel, full of your real emotions. I’m here to guide you every step of the way for a stress free experience. All the way from timeline planning to guiding you behind the camera, I’m here for you. 🌿

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most wonderful experiences with Laren! We wanted our wedding photos to look timeless and classic. She gave us just what we were hoping for and captured our day exactly as we remembered it. She went above and beyond shooting our bride and groom portraits to follow! We had originally planned to take pictures the day following our wedding on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but when we arrived at our destination, it was 39 degrees and windy. After taking a few photos, Laren offered that we come back during a warmer time to take the pictures at no additional charge. The photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! There were so many good ones that we had a difficult time deciding which photos to print for our home. Laren has such a warm and encouraging personality that made my husband and me feel very comfortable from the get go. You will love your photos by her guaranteed!

Lacey Renae Photography

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Lacey is a world-travelled photographer originally from the midwest. This is a woman and Vet owned business. Her strength is primarily about seeing- the composition, the light, the dynamics between the people she is photographing. Portraits have a lean toward that as well, with a push toward the bonds between people. By working to get clients to interact, the images made reflect the connection between individuals as well as the self.

Lacey was so easy to work with and we love the results. We did not have much time to pull together our tiny wedding (we eloped), and we were lucky to find her. She was creative, professional, and just fun to be around. Highly recommend her and her work.

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

Working with Mike was an absolute dream. My partner and I are not people who feel comfortable in front of a camera. Mike completely changed that - although we had never met in person before, Mike felt like an old friend. He had the utmost patience in dealing with our wild family members before we arrived and captured every moment completely perfectly. Mike was so intentional about every shot and was incredible about getting all of the nature-inspired, detail-oriented shots that I wanted. Every time I look back at my wedding album, I'm brought to joyful tears just seeing how perfectly captured every raw emotion was. At our reception, guests couldn't stop raving about how personable and easy to work with Mike was. We had a very "free-flowing" party and Mike was able to round-up everyone and get all of our needed family and friend shots - an impossible task! My partner and I just don't have enough good things to say about the entire experience, Mike as a person, and the beautiful pictures that we ended up with. I look back on our photos and know that I will forever have memories of the moody, "Pinterest-board-inspired" wedding of my dreams!

Love in Color Photography

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

"Passionate" doesn't really begin to describe how I feel about being a photographer. It's more like, who I am as a person. Photographs are able to speak a million words in a moment when words may fail. After photographing 200+ couples of all shapes, sizes, & colors -- I can still say it is my favourite thing to do in the universe. People are my JAM! I love people & their wonderful uniqueness. When two people get together in a thing called "love"? Well, I just can't help but want to be a part of it! Capturing those obvious or subtle displays of affection between two people in true, heartfelt love is as necessary as oxygen in my lungs.

As a local wedding planner it is so important to have a professional, experienced, and charismatic photographer on the team! Planners and photographers work together to make sure your day goes smoothly and all those special moments are captured. Regina is a great team mate and a huge asset to any wedding day! She knows exactly what she is doing and her work is unbelievable. I highly recommend her for your wedding day. Your photos should feel like treasures, all unique and beautiful, and Regina always makes that happen. Shayla Khalife All The Things Events

Hiya! I'm Courtney! I'm not your average photographer. I'm something so much more than that.

I'm the one who stays up all night to make sure you get those images just in time to send out Christmas cards.

Thistle and Ivory was AMAZING to work with from start to finish. Courtney is very easy to talk to and she really tries to incorporate all your ideas for your big day! She has done my engagements, bridals and my wedding and I will use her for future photos as well. She gave me almost 100 photos to sneak peak before we even arrived to our honeymoon! I really can’t say enough good things with her passion and quality of her work!

Jules and Conrad Photography

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Kind, patient, flexible, talented... what more could you ask for from your wedding photographers. Jules & Conrad are top-quality people and photograhers. We fell in love with them for their eye - finding beauty in the smallest of candid details. Even going in with high expectations, we were overwhelmed by the quality of the gallery Jules & Conrad delivered. If you want photographers who will also be able to capture the small moments beyond the big kiss - the quiet glances, the guest smiles, the reach of a hand, a dancefloor drop - this is the couple for you. Would choose them as our photographers a million times over.

Here's the quick, down-and-dirty version: I've spent my entire career telling stories—first on the radio, then on TV, and then in the various media used in the communications and public relations field. Fifteen years ago, I started telling visual love stories of couples in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. What started as doing a favor by shooting a friend's wedding, became something I wanted to pursue more wholly. So, let's tell your story. The story of you and the love of your life I can't wait to create something with you.

Mike is an incredible photographer! He went above and beyond on our wedding day and helped make it really special. He helped us feel relaxed and made us laugh a lot. The pictures are amazing and were delivered in a timely manner. 10/10 would work with Mike again. I highly recommend hiring Thornhill Photography for all your photo needs!

My passion lies in creating images inspired by the love between you two and the details of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Carly was simply fabulous! We planned our wedding from Los Angeles, and when I connected with Carly via phone, I had a gut feeling that she was going to complement us perfectly. I'm happy to report, I wasn't wrong. Carly worked with us to really understand our vision, and lent her photography services along with her black book of vendors to help us. We did not have a wedding planner, and so this support was invaluable for us with finding and booking trusted vendors in the area. Carly's the best. It can be tough to break into a new area in the wedding industry. And I think her prices reflect that as she builds her clientele in South Carolina. With that said, her pricing is an absolute steal for the services she offers. If you're considering using Carly, I can promise, you won't go wrong if you choose her. I am certainly glad that we did. And a note on payments, timeline, and delivery of photos... 1. She can work with you on payments to space those out so that it is easier to financially plan for as you plan your wedding. 2. Are you planning your own wedding? She will help you put together the timeline for the big day in a way that flows. This will be EXTREMELY valuable for the DIY bride that needs help, insight, and motivation to put together a run of show. 3. Per her contract, photos would be delivered 6-8 weeks following the wedding. We received a sneak peak within the first week. We received ALL of our photos within 3 weeks. THREE. 3. 1-2-3. THREE WEEKS. More than 1000 edited photos 3 weeks after the wedding. No one will work harder for you. Alright - are you still wondering if you should book Carly? Seriously - just go ahead and hit the button, submit your inquiry, and cross your fingers that she's available on your date. You won't regret it.

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We were fortunate enough to have Randell as our wedding photographer and videographer as I just stumbled to find him in a local wedding facebook group and without a doubt, he is THE BEST! From the moment we met him, it was evident that his professionalism and passion for his craft set him apart. His efficiency on the big day was truly remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring he captured every significant moment without being intrusive. His ability to organize group shots and direct us for those perfect candid moments showcased his experience and expertise. Now, let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of spectacular! The only "problem" Randell presented us with was making every single photo look so incredible that it's nearly impossible to choose our favorites! As an artist myself, to me each image is a work of art, reflecting his keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of lighting and composition. Randell not only delivered on capturing the essence of our wedding day but exceeded our expectations. His creativity and skill turned ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and the timeless images he has given us to cherish for a lifetime. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, look no further than Randell. He's not just a photographer; he's an artist who turns your special day into a visual masterpiece. Thank you, Randell, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

Everything was fun and their humor/personalities matched ours making everything easy. The surprise gifts were wonderful and made us feel loved and welcomed even though we had never meet in person at that point. As well, they were able to answer every question we had confidently and made us ease our worries. Our guests had fun interacting with them at the reception as if they were part of the party themselves. The pictures came out beautifully and were in shock when we got to see the end result.

With that extra space in your day, void of distractions, you're truly free to live out your day with intention. I would be so thrilled and honored to come alongside you and help capture and craft your best day ever!

Erika has such a fun-loving and sweet personality, that it would have been hard *not* to turn into friends! I've been lucky enough to see Erika's work first-hand as both a bride AND as a photographer who's worked with her! For my own wedding - even despite flying from out of state for our event, Erika was fresh-faced and good-humored, and did an excellent job at making us feel seen, loved, and at home in front of the camera. Since the wedding, she's also done a few portrait sessions for me and my husband (including a destination session for our 5 year anniversary)! As a photographer - I've both worked for Erika, and have hired her to work with me. She literally did such an amazing job at my own wedding that I now seek out her assistance whenever I need another photographer to come along on a destination wedding.

I chose Hailey from the moment we had our initial call to talk through her services. She listened so well to our wedding vision & asked thoughtful questions. We were forgoing a wedding coordinator & other “extras.” Hailey was still excited to take us on as clients which some photographers would not have. I was ready to confirm during the call with how supportive and excited she sounded about our day. From this call, she sent over her proposal for cost & information very quickly. She was responsive via text & email to any questions we had. Closer to the date, she sent over a questionnaire so she could be prepared with the photos we wanted. It also included tips & guidance on making sure the experience is smooth. This was super helpful. During the wedding, I was blown away by her and her second shooter. She was decisive when we needed someone to make a decision, supportive to me as a bride, went above and beyond to handle any last minute changes or hiccups with grace. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken. She made it sooo easy and fun! The photos are sooo creative and I continue to pinch myself that they are ours! Wow! Here’s where she deserves to be shouted from the rooftops: We scheduled a hike we wanted photographed to a waterfall on site at the venue (our venue at Hawkesdene in NC lodges all guests for 2 nights). The venue shared it was 1 mile in/out and not difficult. Well it HAILED the night before and rained all night so the path was flooded and muddy. We had to decide to forge ahead or cancel. She without hesitation was ready to forge ahead, ruining her shoes, to ensure we could still have our hike documented with our guests. She encouraged me along the way and I am so grateful because the photos are just incredible. Anyone would be truly lucky to have Hailey capture their wedding. This review doesn’t do her or her skills justice. I will forever cheer her on & can’t wait to find an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

He checked, double checked, and triple checked that we were on the same page the entire experience. Lola, our photographer, was just as incredible! She seamless grabbed shot after shot, getting right in the middle of the action, magically never drawing too much attention to her presence.

If your looking for a laid back, down for anything photographer these are your people too!

I’m Erika and I am a self-taught photographer, hiker enthusiast, travel lover and proud dog mama! I started my photography journey at 18 years old. I always loved art, but I never thought this newfound love would lead me down an exciting path where I get to do what I love for a living. Thanks to the trust that my clients put in me, I get to do what I do best — and that’s create.

Erika is one of the most talented photographers I ever met. As wedding planner and designer I get to work with many great photographers but she is definitely one of my top to refer to. She will make you feel so comfortable, relaxed and you will have fun with this fun energetic lady who will capture every single moment of pure happiness. She is sweet, easy to communicate with and she gets you! Working with her is absolute pleasure every time!

Hi there! I'm Sarah, a Nashville-based wedding photographer and I'm thrilled you're here! A bit about me: I'm originally from east Tennessee, and I currently call Nashville home. Though Nashville is home base, I will travel almost anywhere, I regularly offer my services in various regions, including east Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. My journey with photography began at a young age, but it wasn't until college, during my first black and white film class, that I realized it was my true calling. Since then, my passion for photography has only deepened, and I've never looked back.

Sarah has photographed my engagement, my wedding, my family photos & more. I’m always thrilled with her work! She makes you feel very comfortable and always captures your true self. If you want your special day to be captured with as much love as you feel then I highly recommend you reach out!

To be perfectly honest, I love what I do. I'm damn good at it. I have dabbled in all sorts of jobs but I kept coming back to the camera. It feels really good to take the craft that I love so much and share it. The scope of my photography is wide but I specialize in weddings and elopements. I've been photographing weddings since 2005. I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with. Having a phone or zoom chat or meeting in person is a good move!

Autumn photographed our wedding and absolutely knocked it out of the park! We're so thrilled with how the photos turned out. Autumn captured so much of the fun, emotion and positive energy of our day and we couldn't be happier with the results. Beyond being a talented photographer and artist, Autumn is also both professional and fun--a true delight to work with. She always communicated clearly and timely. She helped us (a couple of self-proclaimed awkward introverts) feel comfortable in front of the camera. And her joyful enthusiasm added to the happy energy of our wedding celebration. We loved working with Autumn and highly recommend her!

I'm fortunate enough to capture elopements and destination wedding all around the world, but have a home base in Savannah, GA and New York, New York and bounce around the east coast capturing love stories. Here's what you can expect from me: I’ll guide you through the entire process from start to finish, help you plan a day that feels like you and your partner, and give you tangible memories that make your heart skip a beat. I'm quirky, quick with a joke, and turn my couples into dear friends!

I don’t even know where to begin. Karen is an absolute gem. Our elopement was a bit tricky as we had to move to a different state for my husbands job- causing us to start from scratch. But Karen didn’t miss a beat. She researched and sent us a list of so many wonderful locations which ultimately led us to picking our dream spot. We never felt overwhelmingly stressed during this process as Karen was always there to assist us in anything! She called our venue for details, sent me ideas and inspiration, purchased a pop up tent just so I could change into my gown in the middle of the desert! She is a rockstar! You can truly see her passion through her beautiful work, she makes you feel so at ease and comfortable! If you have a few moments to spare, I would so appreciate it!

My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Awarded Best of Zola
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

My name is Dustin Finkelstein. I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to turn my passion into my career. I love picking up my camera everyday and never knowing what the world is going to bring my way. With over 20 years of photography experience, I want to approach every wedding in a fresh way that reflects the unique aspects of the couple’s relationship and individual personalities. I try to naturally capture who my couples are with an artistic flare; letting the real moments they share during their wedding and engagements shine. That way, when they look at their photos years down the line it’ll be like it was just yesterday.

Dustin is an absolute dream to work with! He was BY FAR the most professional and responsive wedding vendor we experienced in our entire planning process. We had to reschedule our engagement shoot (due to COVID restrictions), and Dustin went above and beyond to pull some strings to make it all come together for us. On the actual day of the shoot, I was really nervous about looking nice and coming up with unique ideas to make the photos look special. It is so much pressure! Dustin immediately put my mind at ease, asked a few questions, and knew exactly what we were looking for. He proceeded to take the lead and capture the most beautiful, creative photos of us. They came out better than we could have ever imagined!! So grateful to Dustin for this wonderful, stress-free experience and gorgeous memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

It's weird describing the "me behind the camera" but I'll start with the fact I'm the mother of two of the cutest identical twin girls you've ever seen. This business allows me to spend most of my time with them and even some of my work time and for that I am forever thankful. While finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Middle Grades Education at Western Carolina University photography sort of just happened. By the time I graduated I knew that photography was what I wanted to do full time. I shot a wedding the day I was supposed to walk the stage at graduation and I've been chasing light with some of the sweetest couples in the world ever since.

Awarded Best of Zola
Victoria is truly an incredible photographer, but she is an even more incredible person. When COVID-19 shut down the country, we decided to move our wedding date earlier (from December to October) to try and avoid a second, more severe, wave of the virus and hopefully have everyone we love in attendance. She was able to move to our new date, and she worked with us to reschedule engagement pictures twice when there was a concern about possible exposure. She not only goes above and beyond in her business and is flexible and punctual, but she also goes above and beyond to help her clients with whatever they need. She helped me, the stressed-out bride, calm down by helping create a wedding-day timeline that I sent out to the wedding party, the director, and vendors; that timeline saved us so much time and kept us on track and low-stress on the day of the wedding. I made a mistake and did not communicate the correct address of the wedding venue to her, and she still got to the correct venue early, helped organize us, got all the pictures we wanted, and even made my husband's boutonniere when the florist accidentally did not include his. I cannot stress enough how amazing Victoria is: the whole process of working with her was seamless, she is so personable and puts people at ease (my husband is not comfortable in front of a camera, and she relaxed him with laughter and caught his true nature in a gorgeous style), and she made a very stressful time much less stressful by being super supportive of us and going above and beyond what is required of her. Our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, and our wedding pictures were all beautiful, and she had them all edited and back to us in record time. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further: Victoria Grace Photography is the only way to go!

I specialize in Glacier National Park and Western North Carolina elopements and love to serve couples with unlimited planning assistance.

We were SO blessed to have Des. She is so much more than a photographer. She has become our biggest hype girl and such a close friend, since working working with her. She will take such excellent care of you and make sure that you have a day that is an honest reflection of your relationship. She was able to guide us into choosing the most epic location, connect us with incredible vendors, and put us at complete ease. We’re super laid back and she made everything so easy and chill. We were taken care of through the entire experience. We we’re nervous about exploring somewhere new, but Des knows her stuff and was able to navigate us through the location scouting process seamlessly. The day of felt nothing like a photo session and more like hanging out with a really cool friend that gave you as much space as you needed to be vulnerable with your partner, while also keeping the hype up. She had such an incredible pulse on our needs. We were nervous about looking awkward or feeling camera-shy, but she knew exactly what to say to help up feel comfortable. There was no awkward posing or forced emotion, just really subtle prompting that helped you ease into each moment. The entire day was amazing and none of it would have happened without her skill and guidance. We felt like we could trust her to keep us present in the most important moments. We cried when we got our images, they were absolutely breathtaking and 1000% us. We loved being able to share this day through these images with all of our friends and family that weren’t there. They were able to laugh and cry with us. Getting your gallery from Des is like getting to relive your favorite day all over again. She is an absolute gem that impacted our lives in such a positive way. We had no idea how gorgeous Montana was until Des blew our minds with all of the incredible knowledge that she has. If you’re curious about how amazing eloping can be, she’s the girl to talk to. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away. We can’t wait to see how our photos turned out, we know they will be amazing. 10/10 recommend Alessandra and for your wedding!

PHIL PORTO REAL MOMENTS FINE ART My name is Phil Porto and my goal is to give amazing couples the perfect balance of real moments and fine art. Yes I want you guys to look freakin' hot in your images but I also want your photos to take you back to the raw emotions you felt in that moment. I don't want you to say "The photos are so great. Phil did a great job telling us to shut up and stand there". I want you to say "These photos are amazing. I remember exactly what we were laughing about or what you whispered in my ear."

The photos from the Porto’s speak for themselves. You can see the quality of their work in everything they do which is exactly why we booked them for our wedding. Phil was super helpful in the planning process. The day went so smoothly and he worked great in getting the many family photos from our large families taken, which means a lot to us. Even called some audibles due to rain but still managed to get a lot of amazing photos. Thankful for them and the timeliness of delivery of our pics! They are beautiful!

I consider my style to be on the photojournalistic side, documenting moments as they naturally happen but also helping to set the scene for the moments that matter most. But I'm not just here to click a camera; I'm your visual storyteller, weaving the narrative of your love into each frame. You can think of me as your co-pilot to navigating the whirlwind of your wedding day. Together, we’ll craft a seamless timeline, embrace the unexpected moments, and handle anything the day throws our way. I’ll capture every smile shared, heartfelt tear shed, and dance move busted along the way so you can focus on enjoying the magic of your special day!

Aireal was so great during our wedding! We planned everything a little last minute, and she was so helpful making sure that all of our photo dreams came true. My wife and I absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and we will cherish them forever.

Hi! I'm Caliyah! I'm your super energetic gal pal behind the camera! I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Charlotte, NC area. I specialize in capturing the love and raw emotion between two people who are totally and completely into each other.

The only word I could think to describe Caliyah is perfect. She listened to what we wanted, we had a vision, and we worked together to make it happen. Her photos are not the kind that seem overly edited, they genuinely capture the raw emotions of your wedding day. Which I appreciated in the moment but will definitely appreciate in the years to come looking back on our pictures. She gives a clear timeline for how long we should expect to get pictures back and she has been correct and timely every single time. She is personable, easy to talk to, and overall just a good person in general. She rocked and I cannot recommend her enough!

Hi there! I want to first say that I am pleased that you're here. I am happily married to my husband, Nick. Together, we have a little girl that we call Jojo. I have been a photographer for 5 years now, and my passion is wedding photography. I love to shoot during the golden hour and catch as many candid and timeless photos. If you don't see me with my family, you'll catch me at target or in the Dunkin' drive thru getting an iced coffee.

We had Angeliccaa at our venue for a wedding in July and she was amazing! So friendly and easy to work with. At one point I saw her on the dance floor holding a child dancing so I asked how long she had been friends with the family, and she responded she hadn’t met then before that day! That’s customer service for sure!! We look forward to the next time she’s back at our venue!
