Erin Lluvia Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,350
  • Serves Morganton, NC

At Erin Lluvia James Photography, I blend timeless elegance with authentic storytelling. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in capturing precious moments with a mix of candids and softly posed shots. Whether it's a destination wedding or a celebration in the Carolinas, Tennessee, or Georgia, I aim to create an easygoing experience where couples feel like they're with an old friend. My approach is rooted in photojournalism, ensuring every emotion, detail, and memory is preserved beautifully. Let me help tell your love story in a way that's as unique and extraordinary as you are.

“Working with Erin for our wedding was honestly a breeze. Right from our first conversation, she made everything feel simple. She answered every question I had without rushing me, and she was flexible with the payment plan, which was a huge help during the chaos of wedding prep. The day of the wedding, she showed up ready for anything — boots on, climbing up the mountain on our property, hopping over rocks, and getting right into the thick of it to capture the views behind us. She never hesitated once. She’s just one of those people who’s grounded, easygoing, and really easy to connect with. When we got our gallery, we were blown away. Not only were the photos beautiful, but she delivered more edited images than what was originally included. That little extra effort meant a lot. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s flexible, down-to-earth, and willing to go the distance (literally), Erin is your girl. We’re so glad we chose her.”

Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!”

I'm Levar, an Air Force veteran who spent years running weddings from the inside before picking up a camera. 500+ weddings later, I capture candid, unstaged moments across the Carolinas and travel for destination weddings.

I like taking photos almost as much as I *love* connecting with people. I've been in this industry long enough to navigate any wedding day curveball with ease and a laugh, but not so long that I've grown tired or disillusioned with the beauty of weddings. I love love, I love people, I love working hard for them, and I really love film.

“I've second-shot weddings with Sally for years now, and I can tell you exactly what your day looks like with her behind the camera: calm, organized, and genuinely fun. She's the photographer who has your timeline memorized, your family wrangled with a smile, and your grandma laughing in candids you didn't even know were happening. Then the gallery lands and you're hit eith all the beauty and emotions from that day all over again.. but x10, because now you're seeing it through hers. As someone who does this work myself, I notice things most people don't - her eye, her ethic, the way couples light up around her. I'd trust her with my own wedding in a heartbeat.”

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!”

“We live in Texas but always dreamed of doing a New York photoshoot.  We contacted Manai and told him all our ideas.  We were very specific in our demands.  Manai did not disappoint!  He was so patient with us. We ended up booking him for an additional shoot.  When my wife saw the pictures she was in tears.  He met our demands and more.  A true gentleman. Thank you Manai!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with D Malave Images. From our first conversation, he took the time to get to know us on a personal level, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day. He was clear about his vision and ideas, and it showed in every shot—he captured all the beautiful moments without anyone even realizing he was there. His photos are stunning and feel so natural and realistic, exactly what we wanted. The whole process was easy and fun, and he went above and beyond to make sure we could truly enjoy ourselves instead of worrying about the camera. We're so grateful for the incredible work he did and would recommend D Malave Images to any couple looking for a photographer.”

Hey there! We're Dylan & Esteban, a husband and wife photo and video team based in Georgia. :) We approach weddings and elopements with the belief that the best moments happen when you’re fully present, not performing for the camera. By working as a photo and video team, we document your day in a way that feels seamless and unintrusive, focusing on real interactions as they unfold. We'll guide you when needed and step back to let moments unfold naturally as they are meant to happen! You don't have to worry about being awkward in front of the camera or what to do with your hands, we've got you!

“It was a no-brainer after interviewing multiple photographers videographers and seeing the care Dylan and Esteban put into every step of the process. We clicked instantly on our first call, and every time we saw them it only got more fun (with the best photo and video keepsakes to show for it). There aren’t enough positive words to express our gratitude for their incredible work and their genuine hearts. We’re so grateful to now call them true friends. If you want a team who cares deeply, makes you feel like your best selves, and delivers unmatched quality, call them immediately; you won’t find a better duo.”

“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!!!”
