The quality of their work is classic, focused and of the highest caliber - Caroline, our photographer, had a warm and welcoming energy that immediately made my fiance and I feel comfortable.

Hey there! John & Amy here, the husband and wife team behind the cameras. We’re both adventurers, daydreamers, and you guessed it wildly in love. Fun fact, we’re actually highschool sweethearts and have been together for 10+ years. We are currently based in NC and are transitioning to WA in 2022. We love to travel and are down to adventure throughout the US & Beyond. We both have a heart for exploration and love working with couples who share this adventurous spirit. Genuine smiles, hearty laughs, spontaneous adventures, that’s what we’re all about.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are over the moon with our photos and videos from Amy and John. The quality is incredible, and the quantity is unbelievable. They delivered an incredible amount of photos so quickly, and our friends and family have commented several times that it looks like our wedding was featured in a magazine spread because the quality is so impressive. We’ve been looking through them nonstop, and every time we see some new gem. They captured so many big and small moments throughout the weekend. It is incredible that they were able to capture so much without us or our guests feeling like there were cameras everywhere. They blended seamlessly, and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with them all day. They were so kind and lovely to work with and directed us beautifully, while allowing us to be ourselves and capturing genuine and authentic moments. They both brought such a calm presence. We can’t believe they captured so much content and so many angles when we don’t even remember them doing that - we mostly remember them being by our sides and talking and laughing with us. So many of our guests have said similar things. They truly impressed everyone and have given us so many incredible photos and videos to remember the weekend. Hiring them was such a great decision. We would 100% do it again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Michael Freas Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Fairview, NC

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, fresh ground coffee beans, flannel + fall, and going on adrenaline based adventures. I'm like a best friend with a camera, or the guest you didnt invite but glad I showed up. You'll feel completely comfortable and natural throughout the wedding day. No stress, no pressure.

Awarded Best of Zola
If we could give more than 5 stars to Michael, we would. Michael is an amazing photographer and beyond that just a genuine amazing human being. When we first started looking for a photographer, we both went into it knowing that we are both incredibly awkward people when asked to pose. With this in mind, we started the big search - the one that everyone reminds you that will tell your stories for years. Enter finding Michael - his website mentioned candidness, and a documentary type of style. Two things that immediately caught our eye - not to mention looking through his previous work- which is just unbelievable! Throughout the year leading up to the wedding, Michael was incredibly helpful. He answered any questions we had and offered super helpful suggestions when figuring out the flow of the day. One tidbit that I would recommend to any bride is work with your photographer to create that timeline - a tidbit from Michael. He also managed to have a blog post for every type of question I had (and I had a lot LOL). A few weeks prior to the wedding, Michael met with us via zoom to go over the different elements of our days and to go over our family list (which was insanely helpful day of because we were able to knock those out)! When our wedding day arrived, he was there early to get everything set up and his presence just put everyone at ease. It felt like someone who had been part of our family friends rather than a wedding vendor - which was another element that was important to us: good vibes! Our wedding day and the pictures felt just like us - entertaining and full of laughter. We hiked through some trails for our first look, walked along a highway, and climbed rocks- which lead to nothing but new memories and lots of giggles. We both were really nervous about taking the posed pics but Michael put us in our natural element and just focused on capturing our story, which was a trend all throughout the day. None of us will ever forget the fact we forgot to tell him we had a 6 foot hoagie at the ceremony. We also had a blast using bubble guns for a photo op fake exit and learned there is such a thing as too many bubbles! Within a day after the wedding, we had a sneak peek - and we generally could not believe how AMAZING our photos turned out. It’s still surreal that we could look that good in photos, he captured exactly what we were hoping -us having the time of our life and starting our life together as husband and wife. CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH! P.S. Plus how awesome is it when your vendors are so cool that they feel like friends by the end of the wedding so you have to get a selfie to commemorate the hours of planning and talking you did to make the day one of the most incredible days EVER!!!

I believe your photos should have a timeless feel, full of your real emotions. I’m here to guide you every step of the way for a stress free experience. All the way from timeline planning to guiding you behind the camera, I’m here for you. 🌿

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so lucky to have found Laren for our engagement and wedding photography! We were obsessed with the quality of her work, and she delivered above our expectations with our own gallery. Laren is a kind and gentle soul who made us feel understood and respected as a queer couple. Her calm energy is just what we needed as two relatively camera-shy people. Her directions for posing felt natural and intentional, nothing that we felt uncomfortable or silly doing. She brought along the sweetest second shooter to our wedding and the two of them fit photography in seamlessly and efficiently while making it a fun process all around! We recommend her as a person and as an artist 3

I love being a wedding photographer in Asheville. Spending time with couples one on one to develop a personal connection and make them feel comfortable is what I love!

Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Fairview, NC

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!

Hi, I'm Renee Leigh, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Asheville, NC. I'm passionate about capturing real, candid moments and all of the beautiful details that make your love story unique. As a destination wedding photographer, I have the joy and experience of photographing couples all across the U.S., and I'm always ready to travel wherever your love takes you. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen on your wedding day. I look forward to creating something timeless together!

I am so pleased with my experience using Renee as our wedding photographer. She scouted out the venue ahead of time to study the landscape, lighting, and finds points of interest for the photos. She set very clear expectations and instructions for what she needed for the day. She delivered exactly the types of photos we asked for. Additionally, she was adaptable and ready for what the day brought (weather changes, fun antics with guests, moments getting ready, etc.) and used a creative approach to capture those moments in the best way. During the day I found her to be a strong ally and easy companion- very helpful, brought good energy, and was intuitive to what the groom and I needed. She was always there at the right times, yet would seamlessly float away to give us space. She felt more like a friend than a vendor. Highly recommend!

Once in a lifetime occasions call for professional experience and peace of mind knowing that when those unforgettable moments arise, they’ll be beautifully preserved forever. When I’m shooting a wedding, my first and foremost goal is to listen. I understand that not everyone wants the same style of wedding, and that big of an occasion is far too important for “One Size Fits All” approach. What I offer is my photo-journalistic style of candid portraiture combined with over a decade of extensive knowledge of post processing and color grading to capture and create a beautiful mood and style that will carry on for a lifetime.

Stephan Pruitt Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was fun, accommodating, and easy, and they worked with us to ensure our vision was captured. The quality of their work was beautiful, with a natural, fun aesthetic that perfectly matched the style of our wedding. We would highly recommend Stephan Pruitt Photography to any couple looking for talented, personable wedding photographers.

Lacey Renae Photography

  • Serves Fairview, NC
  • Offer

Lacey is a world-travelled photographer originally from the midwest. This is a woman and Vet owned business. Her strength is primarily about seeing- the composition, the light, the dynamics between the people she is photographing. Portraits have a lean toward that as well, with a push toward the bonds between people. By working to get clients to interact, the images made reflect the connection between individuals as well as the self.

We got married 2.5 years ago on the beach, which is where we had met 4 years before that. Lacey was truly one of the great choices of the day. Before she arrived she began helping us plan and think of details we could not anticipate. Her experience and professionalism really showed before, during and after, but one thing not anticipated and so blessed by was her friendly, easy-going enthusiasm. No matter the weather changes, the mic malfunction from our DJ/friend, or even things going late- she was supportive and helpful. We had a small house-warming reception afterward. Seeing her dance while taking photographs was fun and helped her blend right in with everyone. I still have friends asking me to give recommendations for photographers, and I'll tell them about Lacey every time. A great choice!

"Passionate" doesn't really begin to describe how I feel about being a photographer. It's more like, who I am as a person. Photographs are able to speak a million words in a moment when words may fail. After photographing 200+ couples of all shapes, sizes, & colors -- I can still say it is my favourite thing to do in the universe. People are my JAM! I love people & their wonderful uniqueness. When two people get together in a thing called "love"? Well, I just can't help but want to be a part of it! Capturing those obvious or subtle displays of affection between two people in true, heartfelt love is as necessary as oxygen in my lungs.

As a local wedding planner it is so important to have a professional, experienced, and charismatic photographer on the team! Planners and photographers work together to make sure your day goes smoothly and all those special moments are captured. Regina is a great team mate and a huge asset to any wedding day! She knows exactly what she is doing and her work is unbelievable. I highly recommend her for your wedding day. Your photos should feel like treasures, all unique and beautiful, and Regina always makes that happen. Shayla Khalife All The Things Events

Hi, I’m Julianna, a photographer with a passion for moments that matter most. With over 7 years of professional experience, my style blends the timeless artistry of cinema with the authenticity of photojournalism. I document your day as it unfolds naturally, while my cinematic eye ensures every frame is worthy of a film still. My clients often say that I make them feel comfortable, that I’m more like a friend than a vendor, and that my work captures emotions they didn’t even realize they were feeling.

Julianna was the photographer I was certain I wanted to use even before I was engaged to my now husband. Once engaged, I reached out to her less than a week after the proposal. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and I am so beyond happy with our decision to have had her as our wedding photographer. She is SO talented and creative and does such amazing storytelling in her photography. Having our photos tell the story of our wedding day was so important to us and Julianna did such a perfect job capturing every moment and emotion perfectly and beautifully. You cannot go wrong with booking Julianna for your wedding. Aside from her talented work, she is hands down such a genuine and kind person. She made such a comfortable environment during both our engagement shoot and wedding photos, making sure we were comfortable in all of our photos and at ease. She's so easy to talk to, always understanding, and always has a positive energy. We love her so, so much & we highly recommend her!!

Here's the quick, down-and-dirty version: I've spent my entire career telling stories—first on the radio, then on TV, and then in the various media used in the communications and public relations field. Fifteen years ago, I started telling visual love stories of couples in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. What started as doing a favor by shooting a friend's wedding, became something I wanted to pursue more wholly. So, let's tell your story. The story of you and the love of your life I can't wait to create something with you.

Mike is an incredible photographer! He went above and beyond on our wedding day and helped make it really special. He helped us feel relaxed and made us laugh a lot. The pictures are amazing and were delivered in a timely manner. 10/10 would work with Mike again. I highly recommend hiring Thornhill Photography for all your photo needs!
