  • Serves Emerald Isle, NC

I began this journey several years ago (formerly as Brandi-Lee Photography). Recently, I had decided to transform my brand into a more intentional & creative art. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film. I like to consider myself as a visual storyteller.

I really can’t say enough about how truly amazing Brandi is. She was with me from the start of my planning process to the end providing me with so much support and guidance. She was more than just a photographer. She is truly one of kind. From helping me coordinate a timeline, giving vendor suggestions, oh and not to mention helping me throw together a whole wedding in 72hours due to the Tennessee flooding. She is reliable and such a joy to work with. She made me feel so special. I just received our full album and let me tell you I am blown away. The quality of the photos are outstanding and I received so many!!! I am amazed at her attention to detail and ability to capture every special moment. I cannot recommend Brandi enough! She was such a blessing to work with and all around a wonderful photographer.

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

Hi, my name is Malia! I am a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I specialize in Weddings, families and newborns. I have always been passionate about photography and I started when I was young with a little camera my mom got me from a thrift store and just grown from there. Since then, I have worked with other photographers and my mother who owns a wedding rental company so I know my way around weddings. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me exploring with my little family!

Malia Lynn Photo was an amazing choice for our engagement photography! From the very first interaction, their communication was easy, friendly, and understandable, which put us at ease right away. The quality of their work was truly fantastic - the photos are beautiful and elegant, capturing all the special moments of our day perfectly. Malia was so positive and gave us great guidance on posing, ensuring we were 100% comfortable. She is honestly so sweet and awesome, and did a beautiful job at capturing our precious memories.

I’m so glad we had Wallace and Co. to photograph our post-elopement party! They were very easy to work with and made us feel super comfortable while they were capturing intimate moments. It was nice that they stepped in and orchestrated some photos but they also stood back and captured the perfect candids. We got our photos back the very next day and I couldn’t believe how beautiful they were. We will cherish them forever!

At Untethered Times Photography, I believe your wedding day is more than a celebration—it’s the start of your forever. I specialize in capturing love stories through timeless, natural photography. From the big “I do” moments to the smallest details—the tearful glances, stolen kisses, and joyful laughter—I aim to preserve every chapter of your day so you can relive it for a lifetime.

Untethered Times has been absolutely amazing to work with for my family photos. My son is not a fan of sitting still at all and is difficult to get him to cooperate in general. Emily was fantastic at distracting him and was so creative in doing so! She was very flexible when we had meltdowns, and the photo quality is outstanding that you would never know he was crying just minutes before! She was very personable and made us all feel relaxed. I will only ever use Untethered Times for all my photography needs and recommend everyone to use her.

Hey there! My name is Emilee, and I am a Minnesota-native living in NYC! I've been photographing people and events for the past 15 years. I shoot families, couples, individuals, and pets, but my passion lies in wedding photography. I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time. My current active markets are Minnesota and New York, but I'm available to travel anywhere in the US and the world for additional fees!

I was able to book Emilee at short notice, and found her to be efficient, professional, and very easy to work with. We came up with a shot list, but she had a good eye in terms of suggesting ways of capitalizing on the venue and working with the space in real time - her confidence in directing us made me feel comfortable and natural. Our pictures came out beautifully, in what I feel is record time compared to my peers’ experiences with photographers, and now have our happiest moments with friends and family captured for us to look back at in the future. Would highly recommend!

Hi I'm Sam! Congratulations on your engagement! What an exciting chapter in your life! When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me bossing my husband around and trying to keep up with my 3 wild children Kate, Jack and Luke. ​I am a natural light, true to color, documentary style wedding & portrait photographer, bringing a playful and authentic vibe to every session. I live for those candid, unscripted moments. When couples choose me to capture their big day, it’s a true honor—because once the celebration is over, the only thing left to relive those memories are your photos. Happy Planning ;)

My husband and I got engaged in 2023 and had planned for our wedding to be in July of 2025. For two years one of our biggest challenges was finding a photographer that was in our budget, that would still provide us with the perfect product we had invisioned in our minds. We had searched high and low finding MANY photographers that will say they can adjust their packages to fit our budget, and still somehow come up with a total of 4000 dollars. Then we found Sam. I was hesitant at first because I wanted a specific style I hadn’t seen in her galleries, a more sultry- whimsical- cinematic/ dramatic candid feel. However when I brought that up to Sam she had reassured me that her range of editorial styles and shooting styles was very large as she’s been doing this for YEARS, and had sent me some separate more recent shots she had taken to prove that. We had talked very in detail for days about the hours ineeded from her, pricing, I also explained she would be traveling (which is never a problem for Sam. She loves traveling! ) and we had made a very well customized package trimmed to fit my hours and budget. In the end I received ALL the pictures taken edited exactly how we wanted them. On the wedding day Sam did an amazing job of helping, taking charge of things, and making sure all of our needs were met. I swear she was half wedding planner half photographer. If I needed people to do something she made it happen if I needed people to start getting ready for pictures-she was on it. Her time management is absolutely insane and such a blessing to have on your wedding day. She had some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard when it came to certain poses I wanted accomplished or specific visions I had. She was energetic, hilarious, and made sure everyone had the best time taking these pictures. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. She truly is a photography wizard and will have all of your wedding day dreams come true.

Believe me, we speak from experience. We are here to witness and help you preserve the most dear and happy moments of your life. Your wedding, your love, your story.

During the planning process, I mostly spoke with Jessica. She was very friendly and flexible with the initial meeting phone call, and I felt very comfortable talking to her. She made the contract very easy to understand and worked with me to pick the best package that would suit our wedding needs. She was helpful with answering any little questions I had along the way in the lead up to the wedding. Peter was photographer for the day of the wedding and I’ve never met anyone so friendly and comfortable to be around right away! I loved working with him and he was able to be very efficient while still getting amazing quality photos. I wanted to eat and rest after the ceremony, so I really really appreciated the efficiency! I know that he would also be great for people who want to take their time with their photo sessions, because he listened to any suggestions I made and would take his time when needed. He took a bunch of great shots during the reception, showing how much fun all of our friends had on the dance floor! If you’re looking for professional, friendly, down-to-Earth photographers, go with Jessica and Peter Cenzalli!!

I have been photographing weddings for 20+ years. My experience ranges from a wedding with 700 guests to an elopement. I asked the burning question, "What do you want to be doing in your career that will blend well in your daily life?" The answer? I started looking and seeing the Outer Banks from a new perspective. I now shoot in locations surrounded my mother nature. I currently help clients define what an Outer Banks experience means to them and then we plan their session accordingly. Elopements + micro weddings, couple's sessions and small business branding are the three areas I offer services.

Mary is a very kind person, she shows that with how much work she puts into her photography. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t be more excited to have her capture my special day. Before working with Mary, my husband hated taking pictures but after he saw the photos she took of us. He is now comfortable to be in front of the camera ...which helps for the wedding day!
