Sutton Photography Studio 
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves New Bern, NC

My photography journey began as a teenager with a tiny Le Clic 110 camera & hounding my parents for film money. Years later, my husband gifted me my first DSLR, a Canon EOS Rebel T2i, and turned into my passion. That camera traveled with me to Rome, where I truly fell in love with capturing the world through my lens. I later earned my associate’s degree in Photographic Technology, graduating with honors in 2012. Over the years I’ve photographed everything from newborns to rock bands, even doing freelance work for RockstarCulture. These days, I focus closer to home, telling real stories through authentic moments of laughter, tears, and joy.

“The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!”

“We eloped in Key West and were looking for something low-key—just a few photos to document the moment and share with family. What we got with Alina and her team was so much more than we ever expected. From the very start, they understood the vibe we wanted and captured not only our love, but also the beauty and energy of the day in such an authentic way. Alina and her team were so knowledgeable, kind, and easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable and natural, and somehow managed to give us stunning, magazine-worthy images without ever making the process feel staged or overwhelming. What started as a simple wish for a handful of photos turned into a gallery of memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to capture emotion, connection, and atmosphere, we can’t recommend Alina enough.”

I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some.

The breath before you walk out. The look on your partner's face. Your mom's hand over her mouth. The hug nobody planned. I make sure you get to keep those. 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. Backyard vows or black tie ballroom, same approach: I read the room, keep the day moving, and stay out of your way. Grooms get their moments too. Want to see how I'd tell yours?

“From the very beginning, our engagement session was an amazing experience. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly respectful throughout the entire process. Before we even started taking photos, he took the time to ask exactly what we wanted and carefully went over every detail to make sure nothing was overlooked. I really appreciated how attentive he was to our vision. Another thing that stood out was his communication and turnaround time. He arrived early for our session, and although we were told to expect our photos in about a week and a half, we received them in less than a week. That level of efficiency, without sacrificing quality, was such a pleasant surprise. He was also very personable, easygoing, and made us feel comfortable the entire time, which made the session so enjoyable. We absolutely love our engagement photos, and after this experience, I am even more excited for him to photograph our wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and reliable photographer!”

Hey, I'm Bri, a wedding and couples photographer based in Wilmington, NC, shooting all over the East Coast and beyond. I work in digital and film, mixing in 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, and Super 8 depending on your day. I'm not chasing posed shots. I'm after the real moments, the ones that happen in between, because that's where the honest emotion lives. My own wedding taught me exactly what I didn't want in a photographer, and it's shaped how I show up for every couple since. I pay attention, stay close but out of the way, and I'd love to hear about your day.

“If you want to turn your big day into literal fine art, that you can look back on without trend, in years to come. Look no further. Bri has an unbelievable gift in capturing the art that surrounds us, the kind we dont take the time to see, and does so in an effortless and breezy way! Highly recommend!”

“My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.”

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

“We were recently married in June and had McKenna as our photographer and absolutely LOVED her work!! First off, communication was so easy throughout the whole process. She was so sweet and accommodating to everything. We did our engagement photos with her and she drove all the way from Charlotte to Duke! Leading up to the wedding, we had a few phone calls to plan logistics and she was so organized it make the whole process so easy! On the wedding day I didn’t have to worry about anything photo related. She made sure to capture every moment we wanted without putting any added stress on us. If you’re looking for a photographer who also hypes you up to make the process more fun, look no further! Can’t recommend her enough!”
