I wasn’t expecting to feel that emotional watching our wedding video—but they somehow managed to capture the exact feeling of the day. Every laugh, every tear, even the in-between glances felt so genuine. The photos are just as beautiful—nothing felt forced, and yet every moment we cared about is there. We’ve looked through the album so many times already, and it still gives me butterflies.

I'm Connor Noles — a passionate, purpose-driven photographer based in Birmingham, Alabama. Since 2018, I’ve been capturing weddings, lifestyle, and branding stories with a refined eye for elegance and authenticity. My style blends true-to-color editing with a touch of light and airy, rooted in editorial polish and documentary emotion. I love striking that balance between styled guidance and candid moments. My heart for Jesus shines through your work. I strive to create space for my couples to feel seen, celebrated, and safe.

We’ve worked with Connor on two different shoots, and had an incredible experience for both. The first was when my (now) husband proposed, he hired Connor to take pictures of his surprise proposal and they made for the best memories. She was so helpful guiding us in different poses and also catching a bunch of fun candid photos. The second was for a boudoir photoshoot, which was some of the most fun I’ve had! She was so easy to work with and made for a relaxing and fun session. She always has great ideas for poses and is open to trying anything you’re looking to recreate. Cannot recommend Connor enough, she is a joy to work with and her work makes for incredible lifelong memories.

We had a small backyard wedding, and I worried the photos wouldn’t feel “special.” I couldn’t have been more wrong. They turned our little ceremony into something magical through their lens. The way they used natural light was unreal. They took time to get to know us, and it shows in every picture. Now it looks like a fairytale even though it was just our home.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Hey there! We are Hellen + Rafael and we are the photographer and videographer behind the lens! We have been married for 5 years and we love doing life together! That is why we joined our forces 5 years ago to create Hellen Oliveira Photography. We have a passion for capturing your special moments and making them last a lifetime! We are in Atlanta, GA - but we love to travel and will go anywhere to tell a good love story! Get to know us better and say hi!

Hellen and Rafael beautifully captured every moment of our journey, including our engagement photos, private wedding ceremony, and finally our traditional wedding celebration. Our private ceremony, set in the North Georgia mountains, turned into an impromptu adventure when a surprise winter storm completely changed our plans. Despite the snowy and challenging conditions, Hellen and Rafael didn’t hesitate to make the trip. They arrived with such professionalism and calm, capturing the day flawlessly as if nothing had changed. With our timeline completely thrown off and the original plan to travel to a church in town no longer possible, our intimate gathering turned into a DIY celebration. Immediate family members became the kitchen crew, bartenders, and even the officiant! Through all of this, Hellen and Rafael embraced the chaos, adapted seamlessly, and documented the day in the most beautiful and meaningful way. The video they curated from that snowy day is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We were equally grateful to have them return in May to capture our wedding celebration with all of our friends and extended family. Once again, their talent, professionalism, and dedication shined through. We are so thankful we chose Hellen and Rafael to document our most cherished moments. Their commitment to their clients, clear communication, and ability to adapt to the unexpected make them truly exceptional. We can't wait to work with them again for future family milestones. We highly recommend this team to anyone looking to preserve their most meaningful moments with creativity, care, and heart.

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

The quality of their work was simply the best - the photos are stunning and captured all the special moments of our day perfectly. Brianna made my day absolutely perfect and even let my 4-legged babies be a part of it as well! Honestly, I couldn't ask for someone better to be a part of our special day. Brianna has been my go-to for everything, and my whole family absolutely loves her. I would highly recommend Sacred Fire Photography to any couple looking for lovely, amazing wedding photography.
