On the big day, Charlotte captured beautiful, passionate photos that perfectly summed up the simple elegance we were going for. She helped guide us into flattering poses and made sure we felt comfortable being in front of the camera the whole time. Charlotte was so talented at making us relax and enjoy ourselves that I almost forgot she was even photographing! The end result is a stunning album full of photos that reflect the spirit of our wedding.

I had the pleasure of working with Samantha for my makeup trial, and from the moment I left, I felt like a whole new person. I didn't know how to act, I felt so beautiful! Little did I know, this was just the beginning.... For my wedding day, both Samantha and Mandi took care of my bridal party's hair and makeup. Their professionalism, clear communication, and spot-on recommendations based on our inspiration pictures truly stood out. I had expressed my concern about sweating a lot and wanting makeup and hair that would last the entire night. Samantha reassured me, and let me tell you, she was not kidding!!!!! she delivered beyond my expectations! Putting all my trust in Samantha was the best decision. I felt like an absolute princess, and the moment I saw myself in the mirror, I couldn't believe it was me. As for my bridal party, Mandi and Samantha worked their magic, and everyone looked stunning. I couldn't stop staring at them, in awe of the beauty they had created. Samantha and Mandi were not just talented professionals...they were reliable, accommodating, and their positive energy added so much to the experience. I loved every moment of working with them and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Samantha and Mandi, for making me feel and look so beautiful on my special day!!!

We specialize in curating weddings that don’t just look stunning—they feel like you, through every meaningful moment. We'll transform your vision into a celebration that feels deeply personal and effortlessly elegant. With every detail, we aim to capture the feeling of your story and turn it into an experience your guests will never forget.

Having Macy as the day of coordinator for our wedding was the best decision we made - our wedding day was 100% stress free! We had no idea about what needed to be considered when having a wedding, but Macy had all the questions ready and helped us think through every detail. Macy is so kind, thoughtful, organized, communicative, and took away all of our stress leading up to the wedding day by being so organized and prepared! She coordinated with the different vendors to ensure a timeline was created and distributed for when each would arrive. I didn’t have to worry about a thing except for confirming details for her. She made sure the wedding party and our parents were at the right spots at the right time throughout the evening and helped keep guests contained during cocktail hour so we could step away with the photographer for photos. She even assisted with clean up and helped pack dessert for us to take and enjoy later! Macy is by far irreplaceable in our eyes, we cannot recommend her enough! She will do everything it takes to make sure you have the best day and she was instrumental for ours. Thank you so much, Macy!!

When Savvy is actually performing the services, she is professional, clean, and fun to be around. It is a pleasure to spend time with Savvy, which makes a long day way easier!!

Jared is a top-notch photographer with a keen eye for capturing joy. I came across Jared's photos and was immediately enamored by how bright and cheerful his style was, and after two engagement sessions and a wedding gallery, I can 100% attest to the high quality return on investment customers will receive from him. Our engagement and wedding photos really captured the essence of the spaces we were in, as well as the happiness and excitement for being engaged and getting married. Jared is easy-going and keeps his word on time scales. I recommend Jared to any couple considering beautiful, captivating photos they want to keep for their lifetime.

I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

From the moment we booked Beautiful Images by Toni, their communication was fast, helpful, and responsive. Toni's unique, creative, and fun style captured the excitement of our special day perfectly. She was there to help wherever she could, making everything feel seamless and just right. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. Toni and her team truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Our wedding day flowers turned out amazingly beautiful. Charity met with us over the phone and asked us our vision and colors and really took it from there. Everything was beautiful. Wedding day was a little chaotic with the concert traffic and thunderstorms so the flowers were a little late, but once they were all assembled it was truly stunning.

Are all brides that anxious on their wedding day? I certainly was! In addition to “typical wedding jitters” my dress hadn’t come back perfect from the seamstress… I was a wreck. I worried about how the photos would come out even with the best photographer. Andrea was amazing. Most of the time I didn’t know she was there. She got the best and most candid shots without any distraction (she must be part ninja). Andrea also got all of the wedding shots I’d requested through communication before the wedding and also had fun ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of. I received my photos within weeks of the wedding and I was amazed at how beautiful they turned out! The photos tell a story of a beautiful day and don’t even show a hint of the worries I had behind the scenes. I would recommend Andrea Coon photography without any reservation!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan. We found Jonathan through a friend, and he shot both our engagement photos and our wedding! Throughout the entire process, Jonathan wasn't just our photographer -- we really felt like he has become a dear friend to us. When we wanted to film our ceremony at the last minute due to family who weren't able to travel, Jonathan and Candice said, "No problem!" and filmed our ceremony, and got us the video within a week of the wedding, too, so our grandmas can watch. We will always treasure that he did that for us. Jonathan is incredibly talented and takes beautiful candid photos as well as the perfect posed photos we needed with our family. He is incredibly prompt in responding to questions, and delivers photos at an incredible speed too! We were able to view so many wonderful photos just 2 days after our wedding, and it's just the previews! And hey, if you are throwing a PARTY, Jonathan's dance floor photos cannot be beat. TL;DR: He is a gift to wedding photographers everywhere, we love Jonathan.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Awarded Best of Zola
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

Andrea-Marie is a fine art documentary wedding photographer specializing in romantic, editorial-style imagery. Blending candid moments with timeless elegance, she crafts a visual story that captures the genuine emotions of your wedding day. With a thoughtful and refined approach, Andrea provides a seamless experience, offering personalized guidance throughout your wedding journey. Serving Asheville, North Carolina, and beyond, Andrea-Marie Photography creates heirloom-quality images that stand the test of time.

Finding a great wedding photographer is about so much more than simply making it work for your budget. You need to find a person you and your partner will be completely comfortable with during the most intimate moments. After our initial call with Andrea, she left us feeling completely at ease. Andrea joined us in France for our wedding week and she instantly felt like family. So much so that without us asking she was thanked in every speech on the wedding night. Andrea's direction is perfect; fun and lighthearted for those more casual shots. She is also able to be kind and concise when wrangling guests. She had a beautiful ability to navigate family dynamics throughout the whole week. She kept us on schedule when our wedding planner, disappeared to deal with a wind storm that caused all of our plans (even plan B) to become impossible. On paper, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. The only thing that seemed to be right was having Andrea as our photographer. She's just the kind of person you want around for the highs and lows of your wedding day. We could write a novel about Andreas' character, and we could write another novel about how unbelievable her work is. We have heard from a multitude of people that our photos could be in Vogue. The shots from our wedding are mind-blowing. On so many occasions we have said to each other, "Wait is that actually us?". Andrea staged beautiful photos that felt completely genuine and never cheesy, because of the mood she sets. She also captures such incredible candid shots, her photos have that "cool girl aesthetic" that's saved on all of our Wedding Pinterest boards. She perfectly encapsulated the magic of our friends and the parts of the day that were so special. Thanks to Andreas's work, we practically forgot our reception tent almost falling over, our cake falling through a window, our bartender showing up alone, our caterer serving food we were super allergic to, and our seating arrangements becoming non-existent. Thanks to Andrea when we look back at our wedding, we have photos that show the love between us, the incredible friends and family we have, and the things that went right at our wedding. Thanks to Andrea we remember the magic and we'll never be able to repay her for that.

We are absolutely thrilled with the experience we had with Drew Carlisle as our wedding videographer! Drew captured the energy and magic of our day so beautifully, preserving moments we’ll treasure forever. His ability to tell the story of our wedding through film was extraordinary. Drew was fantastic to work with—not only did he seamlessly collaborate with our photographer, but he also blended so effortlessly into the background that we often forgot the camera was even there. This allowed us to be completely authentic and present in the moment, which made all the difference. From start to finish, Drew was professional, kind, and so easygoing. If you’re looking for a videographer who will preserve your memories with incredible care and artistry, we cannot recommend Drew Carlisle highly enough!

Hospitality Butler Events

  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Leicester, NC

Hospitality Butler is your premier wedding and event planner. We create unforgettable experiences with meticulous attention to detail and a passion for exceeding expectations. From venue selection and design to catering and entertainment, we handle every aspect to ensure your event is a resounding success.

Working with Matt Starnes and the Hospitality Butler team was the best decision I made for our wedding in April 2025. We hired them for full-service planning, and from start to finish, Matt brought professionalism, warmth, and unmatched attention to detail. As a detail-oriented bride, I had a strong vision, and Matt honored that while also offering his own thoughtful, creative ideas like carrying the floral design into the ceiling of the tent and recreating a fringe linen I loved for our champagne and cake tables. I trusted him fully. He ensured our crest appeared consistently across the event, and he found a way to display the handwritten notes we wrote for each guest in a meaningful and beautiful way. When I had a dress malfunction with my gown on the wedding day, Matt stepped in immediately, he wrapped his arms around me, reassured me, and had his team fix it on the spot. That kind of care and responsiveness is exactly what you want on such an important day. Matt cares and that is something I will always cherish. If you’re planning a luxury wedding and want a team that can handle every detail with grace and excellence, I cannot recommend Matt and Hospitality Butler enough. I miss our planning meetings and will be continuously jealous of those that get to work with him and his team!
