Hi there! I'm Jackie, and this is my husband & business partner, Cory. Many photographer's "about me" section will tell you how they've known they wanted to be a photographer since they were a child. Not mine. I didn't know that's what I wanted until I actually started taking pictures and realized that photography was the creative outlet I had been missing my entire life. Not only am I so incredibly blessed to have this amazing, life-giving business; I'm even more blessed to get to share it with my husband.

We have done 2 sessions with Jacqueline so far and both have come out beautiful! She is so sweet and easy to work with. It’s like having a friend you know take your picture.

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.

I’m Morgan — the face behind Morgan Foth Photography! My husband, Justin, and I are a photo + video duo based in York, SC, capturing unique love stories across the Carolinas. We’re down-to-earth, a little goofy, and love helping couples who “aren’t photo people” feel confident and comfortable in front of the lens. If being in front of a camera feels awkward, don’t worry — that’s my specialty. I’ll crack jokes, play third wheel, and make you forget the camera’s even there. When you book both photo and video, you get our full dream team to capture your day from every angle — all the laughs, tears, and dance floor chaos included.

We love love love Morgan! My husband and I got married in April 2025. Morgan was so easy to communicate with and when it came time for our engagement shoot, she captured us perfectly! My husband and I don’t love having perfectly posed photos and Morgan got us in our element. On our wedding day, her team was an absolute DREAM. My husband said he never felt overloaded with too many pictures. Morgan was with me and my girls the whole day and it was perfect! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. And when we were done with our portraits she captured our friends and family having the best time! All of our pictures and our video came out better than we could have imagined and we’re so grateful to have them to remember our favorite day! Truly an advocate for you and your spouse to make sure you have the best time and best memories!

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Christan is the most warm, caring individual you’ll ever meet. From my first consultation phone call to the dedication she showed in completing our wedding photo gallery, I felt cared for and highly important to her. Not only is she amazing to work with but her photographs made me feel beautiful and will be timeless. My husband and I felt so comfortable taking photos when we’ve never had professional photos taken. If you’re looking for a photographer for any special event, I can not recommend Christan enough. I would have spent 10 times the investment to have had Christan be our photographer. Long story short, Christan is the best and her photography skills are unmatched. Every picture in our gallery is AMAZING! Best hype woman!

  • Serves Denver, NC

My name is Dan, and I created this business because I believe marriage is an incredibly beautiful and miraculous thing. Your wedding is important, yes, but it's the marriage that lasts (well, that and your wedding photos). This is what I try to capture through my photography - your mutual love and respect, your quiet confidence in one another, and the enduring nature of your commitment. I want your photos to be a reminder to you through the years of how much you loved one another at the beginning, and how much more you've grown in your love.

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. Dan has an incredible ability to capture the emotional and intimate moments while never disrupting what was naturally unfolding. Nothing ever felt staged or interrupted, but he was able to still capture intentional and high quality photos. You can tell Dan understands the weight of each moment. He isn't just taking pictures, he is capturing a memory and the feeling of the moment, and that is absolutely priceless. While we were driving back to our Air Bnb after the wedding ceremony, we saw an adorable chapel on the side of the road near the beach. I made a comment about how adorable I thought it was--and Dan suggested that we stop and spontaneously take photos in front of the chapel. These turned out to be some of our favorites that he captured. Dan is fun, professional, reliable and we FULL-HEARTEDLY would recommend him to anyone wanting the most important day of your life preserved with photos!

Hi! We're Michaella & Megan, the sister team behind Smile As You Mae Photography. We have the honor of documenting love stories and preserving the moments that become lifelong memories. With over 10 years of experience and more than 350 weddings captured, we've learned that the best images happen when you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present. Michaella is our lead photographer, and Megan is our lead videographer and second photographer. As sisters, we work seamlessly together to capture every meaningful moment while creating a fun, relaxed experience for our couples.

Smile as You Mae was phenomenal to work with! From my first inquiry to the wedding day, Michaella and Megan were a joy and instantly made me feel comfortable. I had a lot of questions and they took the time to talk through everything with me ahead of time. We stuck to the schedule we created together and were able to get everything my husband and I wanted from the shot list, and took pictures that would fit everyones tastes (details, close-up shots, formal, fun long exposure during the reception, everything you could ask for)! They were professional and got amazing photos, but many guests stated that they didn’t even know they were there throughout the reception, which is how well they were able to blend in with the group while still catching all of our moments. I can not recommend Smile as You Mae enough! I have consistently had people state that these photos look like they belong in a magazine, so if thats the quality you want (which you know you do), don’t hesitate to book them!
