Lee and his team are an absolute blessing to have on your wedding day. I found them through the Knot.com. I instatntly fell in love with his style of photography. Not only that but when we were first looking for photographers Lee called me and we spike for an hour and a half about expectations and whay kind of wedding etc. No other photographer i looked at did this, I really appreciated the time he took out of his day to spend talking to us. Fast forward to wedding day Lee and his team made us super comfortable and helped to make our wedding magical. Lee is so easy to work with and definitely knows how to get shy couples out of their comfort zone. Lee not only helped capture our wedding but also us as a couple with an engagement shoot as well. I have never felt so comfortable around a photographer before. Not only is he amazing to work with but his work is equally as amazing. I absolutely love every single one of my pictures and cannot pick a favorite. Not only are the pictures amazing we got our sneak peeks back the same day! It wasn't just 1 or 2 pictures either it was an entire album. That was an absolutely amazing surprise to wake up to the next morning. I would recommend Alchemist Weddings for any event you may have! We will definitely be using him for photos in the future. Much thanks and gratitude, Claire and Bobby Olsen

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan. We found Jonathan through a friend, and he shot both our engagement photos and our wedding! Throughout the entire process, Jonathan wasn't just our photographer -- we really felt like he has become a dear friend to us. When we wanted to film our ceremony at the last minute due to family who weren't able to travel, Jonathan and Candice said, "No problem!" and filmed our ceremony, and got us the video within a week of the wedding, too, so our grandmas can watch. We will always treasure that he did that for us. Jonathan is incredibly talented and takes beautiful candid photos as well as the perfect posed photos we needed with our family. He is incredibly prompt in responding to questions, and delivers photos at an incredible speed too! We were able to view so many wonderful photos just 2 days after our wedding, and it's just the previews! And hey, if you are throwing a PARTY, Jonathan's dance floor photos cannot be beat. TL;DR: He is a gift to wedding photographers everywhere, we love Jonathan.

Worked well and very comfortable with. Super professional on time and prompt. And quality of images amazing. Did just what I wanted, love this photographer. Would recommend her to all who need a photographer. My Wedding Photo Shoot Review: I don't even know where to begin. Monique was one of the best investments of our wedding. After an amazing engagement shoot with Monique the wedding was a breeze. She really makes you feel so at home and comfortable and it truly makes a difference in your photos. She's personable, honest, and has such a distinct and gorgeous photography style. She was easy to work with and went above and beyond her duties; was with us from beginning to end. On the day of our wedding Monique was punctual and worked her tail off. She was there in the morning as I, the bride got ready and stayed until the reception ended, which means she captured every moment. Our photos are so special and we have one of kind shots to remember our perfect day and we have Monique to thank! Everyone cannot get over the pictures, they all say “the photos are so beautiful and vibrant!” I keep getting compliments on them which make me smile so big and make me feel so proud. We thank you forever for capturing our day in such a way that no one else could have. I highly recommend hiring Monique for any engagement and can guarantee she will impress.

Pretty much a professional sucker for love. Charlotte, NC Wedding Photographer & Content Creator. Mix of digital and film. My style is evocative, photojournalistic, a dash of editorial. I'm here as your wedding bestie to tell your story photographically, in the most authentic way, with a pinch of curated chaos.

Where do I even begin. Yazmin basically kept my entire sanity during my wedding. She must be a wizard or something because it was a LOT. My husband couldn’t stop talking highly of her and he’s never one to even pay attention - haha!! She not only handled everything with professionalism and grace the entire time, she kept everyone in my family from being overwhelmed and confused as weddings tend to do to people! THE PHOTOS - OMG. I’m NOT one for photos, I hate being behind the camera. (I know everyone says this but seriously, we are so awkward!) She managed to create magic with the little we gave her and for the first time I felt completely comfortable being in photos. I could truly trust her with my vision. We received our sneak peaks the night of the wedding!!! And they were so much more than I could’ve dreamed or hoped for. She knew what she was doing, created the perfect timeline and even with over half of my guests arriving 25 minutes late, she got everything I could have wanted! I will always HIGHLY recommend Yazmin Jade Collective to ANY bride or groom in search. Still in awe. Counting the days until we are able to see the rest of the magic she put into our wedding.
