Julianna Nelson Photography
Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Charlotte, NC

Starting my passion of photography at the young age of ten, I fell in love with the documentary/journalistic style. When I got older, I was moved to make it into a career. I also fell in love with love itself. I saw the beauty in the gift humans feel of cherishing one another. For six years now, I have had the privilege of photographing weddings and elopements of people who feel deeply and love deeply.

July 2023, destination wedding bride: we absolutely LOVED our experience with Ryan Smith. He is incredibly helpful, detail oriented, and patient. While I was living in Tennessee and planning a Myrtle Beach wedding, Ryan helped answer any questions I had and gave wonderful timeline suggestions, allowing us to take advantage of the time we had with him. I am typically camera shy, and he made portraits painless! We can already tell the photos are amazing, and he even put together social media posts for us to enjoy the next day! 10/10 would book with him again, and strongly recommend!!

  • Serves Charlotte, NC for additional fees

I offer Fun, Elegant, and Exciting Wedding & Engagement Photography. I'd love to be your photographer. My style, I'm a photojournalist. I capture styled and candid shots as they happen. Some people say I have a sixth sense when it comes to capturing the perfect moment. I'd say it because I love my job and have had a great deal of practice doing it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sean from Portraits by Sean photographed our wedding rehearsal dinner and wedding and we couldn't have been happier with his work quality and professionalism. He was very flexible and very responsive to our needs. What stands out to me is how much he captured of our guests interactions that we weren't able to see or participate in because we were busy with so many other guests. When we look at the photos, we feel as though we are getting a 360 degree view of the event from the perspective of our guests. We were so pleased that we hired him the following year to photograph my mother's retirement party. I would highly recommend Sean!

My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's.

Awarded Best of Zola
These pictures are amazing. I am saying this as the least photogenic person ever, I actually looked pretty decent in them! Plus they were such lovely shots of everyone having fun and Jessleyn herself is just such a lovely person. We loved working with her and hope to again!

Gabbie was so great to work with! As two people who had never had their photo professionally taken, she made us feel at ease and the photos came out amazing. I didn't have a fully realized vision of what I wanted our engagement photos to look like, but Gabbie was great at helping me think through locations and directing us on the day of. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for beautiful digital and film photos.

Abby Carissimo Photography

5.0

Manassas, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves Charlotte, NC for additional fees

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Awarded Best of Zola
ABBY IS INCREDIBLE. I booked Abby after another photographer I had booked was no longer able to do the job. I was in such a funk and I was terrified to find someone new. Abby had such a great vibe from the start and her skills are clearly magic. She made us feel comfortable right from the start. We had a blast together at our engagement shoot and I felt so safe for my wedding that I didn’t even feel the need to give her specific “shots” just the overall vibes! She read me and my vibe and knocked it out of the park. She was not just my photographer on my wedding day, she was a friend! I’m so lucky to call her a friend now, even after our wedding! Booking Abby will be one thing you absolutely do not regret! DO IT!

Working with Leah was such a great experience! Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, but Leah made it so easy. I contacted her about photography, and she got back to me very quickly. She was very reasonably priced, and took the type of pictures that I wanted. On the day of, she was very professional and took all of the pictures that we wanted. We made a list of pictures that we wanted, and she made sure she got them. They took a ton of pictures during our reception, which is perfect. I also got my pictures back really fast, with printing rights. I would HIGHLY recommend Leah Flores Photography for any occasion. A year and a half later and I'm still obsessed with my wedding photos!
