Ellen LeRoy Photography 

5.0

Emerald Isle, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

When I started wedding photography 15 years ago, I wanted to create stunning pictures that showed off my technical skills. Those skills are helpful, but they are no longer the focus of my attention. You are. Now, my goal is to make sure you have the best wedding possible, and that you remember as many moments and details as possible. You may think you'll remember it all, but life moves on and you'll forget more than you expect. I'm here to remind you what your wedding day was like, how much you love your family and friends, and why you got married. I'm excited to help you have a wonderful wedding full of beautifully captured moments.

Ellen photographed my wedding and two separate engagement sessions. This stated, there is nothing more I can say than if I ever have a need for a photographer again, I'd hire her every single time! Her ability to get the perfect shot in every situation is simply amazing. Further, whether she had to take her shoes off and stand knee-deep in water, or provide firm (yet friendly) directions to friends and family after the ceremony (to get all our pictures done in time), she was as competent, kind, and professional as any photographer I've ever seen. I understand how hard it is to trust one person with capturing the most important moments of your life, but Ellen did not disappoint!

Courtney Hathaway Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Emerald Isle, NC

Born & raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I've been capturing love stories for over 15 years. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 10 years, and raising our two sweet boys on this little sandbar we call home is a dream come true. While we are based on the OBX, we happily serve couples on the Outer Banks and Beyond, and enjoy spending the winter months in Costa Rica.

If you need a photographer, Courtney Hathaway is the one to hire! Fun, caring and talented are just a few words to begin with. My husband and I are both camera shy and from day 1 of shooting our engagement, Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.

I created my signature style by blending lifestyle photography and fine art image retouching. Being a desperate romantic, I devote a huge part of my photography journey to the wedding and engegment photography. My goal is to create your family heirlooms, the images that you will cherish forever!

Maria is an incredibly talented photographer. We used her for our engagement photos and wedding, and have received so many compliments. Her style is bold and classic. She is great with angles and captures both posed and candid shots. Unfortunately we had rain on our wedding day, but Maria had a nice clear umbrella handy and we were able to still get photos of us during the rain. They are some of my favorites of our album. She dealt with my husband (who doesn’t like getting photos done) and multiple guest requests with ease and delivered our sneak peeks in just 2 days.

Hey There! I’m Hannah - an Intimate Wedding Photographer originally from the coast of Virginia but stumbled my way to the North Georgia Mountains which I now proudly call home! I love finding new adventures while exploring new places! I started my Photography journey capturing families but soon realized that my heart was completely drawn to capturing love & the bond that two people share!

I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions between two people on their wedding day!

I adored Hannah! She was so responsive and easy to work with from booking through wedding. She wanted to have a really clear idea of our vision, and worked with us to make it a reality. Day of the wedding we were all running really behind (us and other vendors, not her) and she was so quick work to make sure we still got every picture we wanted. She also helped my mom distract me from a suit related disaster happening that I heard about the next morning, lol, so truly above and beyond. I loved having her energy at the wedding, and the sneak peeks alone are gorgeous. I cannot recommend Hannah highly enough!

I’ve been my best friend’s right hand since middle school, and seeing her get married was emotional for me too. Having these photos and video is like reliving that entire day whenever I want. They captured her beauty, her happiness, and also our friendship in such touching ways. I love that they didn’t just focus on the “big” shots, but also the goofy, silly ones that are totally her personality. When I saw the final video, I actually SCREAMED with joy because it felt like a movie but still so real. The speeches, the laughter, the way the groom looked at her I couldn’t stop watching. The photos of us together mean the world to me, because one day we’ll look back as old ladies and still smile. They even caught my teary eyes during the vows, which I didn’t think anyone saw. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and they were so sweet with everyone. I would 100% recommend them to anyone, because they didn’t just deliver pictures, they delivered MAGIC.

Within a year of our wedding, our original photographer canceled, and I felt nothing but panic and sadness at having to start the search all over again. When I came across Felisha’s portfolio, it felt like fate. Her work was exactly what I had been envisioning from the start of wedding planning—and more. I reached out on a whim, fully expecting her to be booked, but by all the luck in the world she wasn’t and it was meant to be! From our very first call, Felisha instantly put me at ease. She felt like a friend—warm, kind, understanding, and genuinely willing to listen. Every ounce of worry disappeared, and instead, she added to the excitement of getting married. On our wedding day it was just easy and fun, it felt like a friend was capturing our day. Not only is her photography absolutely breathtaking, but the person behind the camera is equally as remarkable. I would relive our wedding day 100 times over with Felisha by our side. I’m beyond grateful for the memories she captured and gosh are they stunning! I cannot wait for future life moments to bring us together again, she is stuck with us for life if she’ll have us!

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.
