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.”

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!”

Jeremy is genuine, engaging, professional and so, so calm (even in the inevitable chaos on wedding day). Jeremy helped me feel relaxed and supported during our entire day, going far above the job of a photographer. In addition to who he is simply as a person, he is also the BEST photographer! He had sneak peeks back to us in less than 24 hours and I was absolutely blown away. He captured the most special moments that made me feel like I was reliving the day all over again!

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.”

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.”

“To any couple considering Michael: book him, trust him, and let him do what he does best. He captured our day with so much beauty, intention, and care. We left our wedding experience not saying goodbye to Michael, but “see you later,” because we genuinely hope to use him for all of our family photo sessions in the future. We found Michael Freas by Googling Pretty Place Chapel photographers, and we were immediately blown away by his talent, his style, and the breathtaking photos he had captured for other couples. From the very first inquiry, Michael was incredible. He responded the same day, shared full galleries from other Pretty Place Chapel couples, and spent the entire day communicating with me to help us choose a date that worked well for both him and us. We basically let Michael pick our wedding date, and little did we know that would be the first of many decisions we would happily trust him with. Looking back, giving Michael full creative control was one of the best choices we made. The day of our wedding was truly the best day of our lives, and so much of that is because of Michael. From well before dawn to well after dusk, he took on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with us and turned it into something we will never forget. He was on time, prepared, thoughtful, calm, and somehow delivered in ways that completely surpassed every expectation we had. Just a wedding photographer? No way. Michael planned, guided, encouraged, organized, and executed our entire day in the most seamless and meaningful way. Even though we eloped, Michael made us feel like we had everyone we needed right there with us. He brought such a steady, joyful presence, and by the end of the experience, he felt much more like a friend than just our photographer. And the photos… WOW. They are breathtaking, awe-capturing, emotional, and beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Michael stunned us with a huge sneak peek and then delivered our full gallery in under one month. Everyone who has seen the photos has had the same reaction: stunning, beautiful, amazing, breathtaking. People keep telling us how happy and beautiful we look, and how incredible the landscapes are. We feel so blessed to have had Michael as our photographer and so much more.”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“My husband and I had a superb experience from start to finish with Carly @ Asheville Elevated Photography. We planned a small semi-quick wedding so we had only a few months between engagement and wedding itself and other photographers I contacted either didn't answer or were already booked, or their prices were such where it was out of our range for just a few hours of photos. We were so grateful to find Carly! Upon first meeting at our complementary engagement shoot (which is an awesome perk by the way), she was kind, chill, organized, and helped us feel far less awkward about posing for photos. We got some awesome shots at Craggy Pinnacle, some of which turned out so picturesque that my mom asked if the mountain cloud background was photoshopped! Carly was very proactive in the weeks leading up to the wedding itself. She thought of important logistics that I might have otherwise missed and gathered details so that the day itself would go smoothly and capture all the photos we wanted. Our photos turned out beautifully with a perfect mesh of more 'formal' posed family photos and more candid fun-loving ones, which is exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend Asheville Elevated Photography and will treasure the photos of our special day for years to come!”

“Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!”

Hi there! My focus is on natural light and thoughtful composition. I try to photograph the world the way I experience it: softly, thoughtfully, and with a sense of wonder for things we often overlook.

“If anyone is ever in search of a photographer to do weddings or engagement sessions, Maca is the girl for the job! She did absolutely phenomenal and amazing on our pictures. Incredibly professional from the start. Will work with you on a budget for both events. She will go above and beyond to make the most beautiful pictures. If I were able to give more then 5 stars I would. That’s how amazing she is.”

Passionate about this earth and the humans that reside within it. Striving to tell a story with every photo I take and every moment recorded. I love capturing people in their most candid and natural moments and creating unique and marketable content for businesses and brands. When i’m not shooting weddings, you can find me traveling or out on the town with my wife Kaitlyn.

“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.”

Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Serves Hot Springs, 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!”
