The Lovelight Archive 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Horse Shoe, NC

My name is Ashton. I’m drawn to the things that can’t be recreated: a glance across a crowded room, a hand held a little tighter, the feeling of knowing your life is about to change. My work is rooted in documenting those moments as they unfold, without performance or pretense. I believe the most meaningful photographs are the ones that feel honest. The ones that transport you back not just to how it looked, but to how it felt. Through a blend of documentary storytelling and refined imagery, I create photographs that become part of your history. Artifacts of love, connection, and the people who made it all matter.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a photographer myself, it's not usually easy for me to be in front of the camera but Ashton showed up with a friendly demeanor and talked me through the process which made me so comfortable having my photo taken. This shows in the photos I received from her - fully-edited and beautiful!! I feel like I made a friend right away meeting Ashton and would recommender for anyone looking for photos!

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the best experience working with Nick for our engagement photos! From the moment we met him, he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through poses in a way that felt natural, relaxed, and fun. We shot at The Looking Glass and up in the mountains, and the views and locations he helped us choose were absolutely breathtaking—truly unforgettable. Nick brought such an easy, positive energy to the session and turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into one we genuinely enjoyed. Our photos turned out stunning, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and amazing to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

I’m Andy Wickstrom and I’ll help you bring your wedding day adventure to life, but document it all in a style that feels authentic, modern and full of emotion. With over 40 five-star Google Reviews, and more than a decade of photography experience documenting adventurous couples and outdoor athletes, I’m stoked and ready to find creative ways to tell the story of your epic day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Andy for my daughter’s mountain wedding (Bella and Kevin Phillips) was hands down the best decision we made. Yes, he’s not cheap — but after seeing the photos and watching how he guided us through the entire day, I honestly feel like he’s worth even more. We were lucky to afford him when we did, because his talent is on a level that won’t stay accessible to normal people for long. Andy has this chill, friendly personality that instantly puts everyone at ease. He knows the area and helped us plan the entire wedding from start to finish. He’s a true artist with an incredible eye for beauty and real, unscripted moments. Nothing staged, nothing forced — just genuine emotion and the kind of shots you can’t recreate even if you tried. Many of the shots he took, especially the veil shots, look like they belong in a magazine. Every single photo feels alive and full of heart. It’s honestly not possible to give him a high enough rating — five stars just isn’t enough.

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.

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 started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

The colors popped amazingly and some of them even look like they could be photos in a magazine.

She went above and beyond shooting our bride and groom portraits to follow! We had originally planned to take pictures the day following our wedding on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but when we arrived at our destination, it was 39 degrees and windy. After taking a few photos, Laren offered that we come back during a warmer time to take the pictures at no additional charge. The photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! There were so many good ones that we had a difficult time deciding which photos to print for our home. Laren has such a warm and encouraging personality that made my husband and me feel very comfortable from the get go. You will love your photos by her guaranteed!

Awarded Best of Zola
Scott Smith photographed both our engagement proposal in St. Augustine and our wedding in Seffner, and I honestly can't say enough good things about him. From the get-go, he felt like someone I'd known my whole life — easy to talk to, warm, and completely genuine. He made the entire process effortless and even suggested shots we never would have thought of ourselves. Every one of them turned out amazing. What stood out most was that he was never in a rush. He took his time and made sure everything was right. He even traveled all the way from St. Augustine to Seffner to photograph our wedding, and that kind of dedication meant the world to us. Both he and his associate, Lynn, were incredibly professional from start to finish. If you're looking for a photographer who's talented, patient, and just a genuinely great person to work with, Scott is your guy. I wish him all the best and highly recommend his services.

Brian and I will be grateful forever that we chose Darrell & Kaitlyn Cassell for our wedding photography and videography. Until we received the pictures and videos back, we thought the best part of choosing them was the wedding day experience with them. I loved their approach and energy that day. They guided us seamlessly from one moment to the next, offering gentle direction when needed, but allowing everything to unfold naturally. Nothing ever felt forced or overly posed. Their calm, relaxed presence set such a peaceful tone for the entire day. When we got the photos and videos back, our gratitude skyrocketed. The images are absolutely stunning and I’ll let them speak for themselves. I have never felt more beautiful, and it feels like the joy of the day leaps right off the screen. I’m still blown away by how they managed to capture not just how everything looked, but exactly how it felt. I would choose them over and over and over again. I could not recommend them more and wish I could relive it again and again. The incredible highlight video is the closest I'll get to that and it's perfect. Everything was perfect.

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!
