Andres Lopez Films was the perfect choice for us. From the very beginning, Andres and his team were friendly, engaging, and completely professional. Their cinematic storytelling skills are absolute perfection. They captured all the raw, in-between moments while still guiding us into beautiful poses.

The absolute best photographer and photos that anyone from our wedding has ever seen and that is coming straight from their mouths. And that is only after he sent us the first 31 preview batch of pictures THE MORNING AFTER THE WEDDING!!! Mike as an individual is amazing. He is kind, personable, professional, and so knowledgeable about photography. He was able to pose us for pictures to make us look even more amazing than we ever thought we could look on camera. He worked with our schedule which shifted several times day-of and never once hesitated to pick the camera back up and get to it when we were ready for him again. We worked with him for the engagement and wedding sessions and both were a delight. Most people find the pictures stressful for weddings. Mike made every session a whimsical bright spot that left us feeling confident and happy. Not to mention the looks on our faces when he pulled out a drone to do some shots during our engagement session!!! Totally unexpected, and possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. The pictures looked amazing when he showed us a couple right after taking then, unedited, day-of. The edited batch looked stunning. Every amazing moment captured perfectly with no exceptions. If you want a photographer that you can guarantee will do nothing but impress, reassure, and handle their job with ease and grace for any event? Stop looking and hire Mike now. I promise you will not regret it regardless of budget.

Jennifer was amazing to work with, not just because of her incredible talent, but because she is a great person who simply loves what she does. From our first meeting, Jennifer's communication was both professional and approachable. We never felt like just another wedding on her schedule. She took the time to get to know us—our quirks, our inside jokes, and all the little things that make us unique. The photos are absolutely stunning! They’re creative, full of emotion, and capture every detail beautifully. She stuck to our timeline perfectly while still being playful and flexible (thanks for filming our silly TikTok request!). The final photos are amazing AND the feeling of comfort she brought to our special day is truly what sets JMSmith Photography apart.

I'll work with your best angles to get flattering pictures that you love yourself in. You don't have to worry about any weird moments like "where do I put my hands". I'll coach you on exactly what to do, and you can act in a way that feels the most natural to you. If something looks weird, I promise I'll step in and fix it- so you can fully enjoy yourself in the moment!

Where do I even begin?! Savannah is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also one of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. From the very first meeting, she took the time to get to know us, then captured our engagement photos, bridals, and finally our wedding day. Every step of the way, her attention to detail was unmatched. Her personality is so bright and bubbly that being in front of her camera feels natural and fun. She knows exactly how to encourage you, pose you, and capture those authentic, joyful moments. I would describe her photos as bright, colorful, and timeless—that perfect natural light look I had always dreamed of. In fact, I knew I wanted Savannah as my wedding photographer even before I was engaged, because her vibrant style was exactly what I was looking for! Leading up to the wedding, she had us fill out a detailed form so she could make sure every photo request was covered. And let me brag on her a little extra: my wedding was in August, and Savannah had a baby in June! That didn’t slow her down one bit—she still showed up with the same energy, professionalism, and talent she’s known for. Truly amazing! If photos and memories are important to you, I highly recommend booking Savannah for extra hours and adding her second shooter. Having them both there gave me peace of mind, and the results were better than I could have ever imagined. Our engagement, bridal, and wedding photos are beyond anything I hoped for, and I feel so blessed to have those memories preserved so beautifully. Savannah goes above and beyond in every way. She makes sure every requested shot is captured, she never leaves until she’s confident she has what she needs, she delivers photos on time, and her quality is phenomenal. On top of that, her website is full of helpful resources—from outfit guides for engagement photos to timeline templates that made wedding planning so much easier. Overall, if you want a photographer who delivers vibrant, natural, joy-filled photos, who is encouraging, professional, and truly cares about your experience—Savannah is your girl. Choosing her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, hands down!

When I shoot photography, it’s not about composing the perfect pictures or getting a great shot. Yes, those things are essential. But, to me, photography is so much more. It’s about capturing a moment in time that you will forever be able to look back on and feel something magical.

Emily has taken pictures for us on multiple occasions including our wedding, family pictures, and professional pictures for our business. And there’s a reason we keep coming back! What we love most is that Emily brings life to our pictures. They’re not just portraits, she captures the energy of the moment and expresses our life through her photographs. Whether it’s an important moment in our lives we wish to remember or, as with our professional portraits, a representation of us to show the world, she brings out who we are rather that just making an image of us.

We are 2 experienced photographers that have joined forces after a decade in the wedding industry as a full-service photo video team. We are here to tell your story in a way that truly captures your uniqueness. Our focus is to provide you with professionalism, confidence, a joyful and unforgettable day-of experience and above all photos and video that you can look back on and re-live the emotions from your wedding day.

Steph and Stef Photography has been out go-to for our large corporate events for years. We have multiple events every year that range from 30 people to 800 people, and I love that I feel confident reaching out to this partner for so many different events. We rely on them for both indoor and outdoor events, and their images always turn out so well. Their communication style is friendly, flexible, and casual. It's easy to reach out to them, make requests, talk through specific needs, and get their input on what works well for our event/venue/lighting/etc. Their photos always exceed expectations with dynamic, fun images capture the feeling of the event. I'd like to share a recent experience with Stefanie Haviv at our 250 person company Christmas party. The event, a formal event at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, NC, had a special focus to celebrate our company's founder's retirement. The event was structured similarly to a wedding with sections of planned speaking and unstructured mingling time. We had very specific things we needed captured for the structured activity, but we had fewer instructions for the free-form periods. Stefanie nailed the specific images we wanted and recorded these key moments so well. Her talent was most evident, however, in her candid photography. We weren't sure exactly what we wanted image-wise for the unstructured portions of the evening. Stefanie took it upon herself to find the most touching, personal, lively moments of the event to tell the party's story. Her work is dynamic and adaptable, and she was able to use the space's lighting and the crowd's energy to create images we loved. We are looking forward to the next opportunity to work with Steph and Stef!
