Mazzucco Photography 

5.0

Hickory, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,500

I'm a creative minded, outgoing and silly girl. I'll join you on the dance floor during your wedding reception, but you can also find me crying behind my camera lens as you say your I Do's. I'm a photographer who just loves love. I graduated from Western Carolina University with my Bachelors in Science in Communications, focused in Public Relations and minoring in Marketing. My boyfriend and I, Dylan, met while we were both students at Western Carolina and he's been one of the reasons why I finally took the leap to become my own boss -- in a pandemic, nonetheless!

Mazzucco Photography was a true blessing to work with at this wedding. Her communication was quick and responsive, which was especially helpful when a previous photographer had to cancel last minute. The quality of their work was fantastic, with an incredible attention to detail and capturing the genuine emotions of day. Mary was wonderful to collaborate with, adapting seamlessly to the changes and challenges we faced (thanks, COVID!). To top it off, she even texted to ask if we wanted coffee on her way to the venue - it was her birthday, but she was thinking of us! Mazzucco Photography's beautiful, artistic photography is a true gift, and anyone would be lucky to have them capture their wedding day.

As an Indian-American bride marrying into an Irish family, I was nervous about how our fusion wedding would be represented. Bhanu exceeded every expectation. He honored both traditions with such care, and the photos are a breathtaking blend of color, emotion, and tradition. There’s a shot of our families joining hands during the Celtic handfasting, right after the Haldi ceremony, that makes me tear up every time. Eternal Vistas is a gem for multicultural couples.

I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!"

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With nearly a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 100 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truly could not say enough great things about Haverlee and her immense talent! From our first inquiry email to delivering our final wedding gallery (early I should add), she was so kind, supportive and on the ball. Outside of capturing amazing moments during our engagement session and wedding day, one of the things we really appreciated was her willingness to help create our day of timeline. As a DIY bride, having someone who has done this countless times help us plan every minute of our day helped so so much and put our minds at ease. And let me tell you, day of, you won’t find someone else more prepared than Haverlee. She was there to help with make-up issues, fly away hairs, dress bustling, and even hand picking leaves and bugs out of the skirt of my dress to make sure our photos were perfect. Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience, highly recommend entrusting Haverlee to work her magic to allow you to remember the day perfectly thru her lens.

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.

Morgan was one of the best choices we made during the entire wedding planning process. She was clear, communicative and super professional, and that doesn't even touch her artistic skill!!! I had so much faith in her from the moment we got our engagement photos back and then the wedding was just as great. 10/10 best photographer and the only one I recommend to friends who are getting married.
