Ashley was easy to coordinate with, kept us up to date with everything, had questionnaires to help us figure out what pictures we wanted, and was pure PERFECTION. Her photos are AMAZING and she helped us navigate a very rainy wedding at an outdoor ceremony making sure we got as many of the pictures we requested as possible. Ashley is a genuinely great person and super easy to be around. I truly can't say enough positive things about our experience - book her and I promise you'll never have any regrets.

Your wedding day will go by faster than you could ever imagine. Our goal is to help you be fully present for every part of it. We believe the best photographs and films come from real moments, not from spending your day focused on a camera. That's why we invest heavily in getting to know our couples before the wedding day arrives. We learn what matters most to you, from the people who mean the world to you, to the moments you've been dreaming about for years.

Sam & Nick were wonderful to work with! They were very accommodating to our requests, made our photo session really fun, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks Sam & Nick!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

Our Original Weddings team in Georgia was great! All of them were very nice and seemed like they were enjoying capturing our special day. They captured so much of our wedding including many little moments and did a great job at being there but not taking up space. It never felt like they were in the way and they were great at directing us in moments we needed them to. We opted for the 4-12 weeks delivery and they delivered within 4 weeks on Christmas day which was a nice present! Overall was a great time with them and we are very happy with the photos and videos!

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything.

With a refined, minimal approach, I focus on creating imagery that feels effortless and timeless. My goal isn’t just to document how your day looked, but to preserve how it felt. The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

My wedding is March of 2025 but so far she has captured our engagement session and also my boudoir session for my grooms wedding gift!

Each session she makes you feel so comfortable and this makes the process feel so natural allowing the best results.

We had a fantastic time working with Hannah and Matt for photography and videography at our wedding. They were very professional and were very good about keeping up with timelines and getting things moving. Having a large wedding party (25), we were worried about how we were going to make everyone fit well in the photos, but they did a great job capturing multiple angles of everyone. We just got our sneak peeks back and they are amazing. Before the wedding we were able to communicate with them what we wanted in terms of types of shots, day of timeline, and feel of the video. With how chaotic the day felt, working with Hannah and Matt on our couples shots made us feel more connected. Honestly, the best money we spent on our wedding.

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.

She kept the day running smoothly while capturing every picture I requested and the meaningful moments behind them beautifully. Even while very pregnant, she absolutely crushed it! She was on her feet all day AND STILL breaking it down on the dance floor all night. Her positivity, organization, and genuine care truly showed in both her work and her presence. We are so grateful she was there. Having her as both our photographer and now our friend made the experience even more special.

Our work involves a lot of interaction between you and your partner: the way you smile, hug, laugh and goof off together. We use natural light to create artistically genuine moments. Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor. We're not someone who simply ‘gets the job done’— We're with you every single step of the way, from the first time we talk until your images are delivered.

Now And Forever Photography was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Alicia, the lead photographer, was easy to communicate with, messaging and calling to finalize all the details for both our engagement session and wedding day. Her eye for detail, use of natural lighting, and creative approach really brought to life the ideas I had envisioned. When we hit a hiccup with the engagement session location closing early, Alicia was extremely understanding and helped us seamlessly reroute to capture beautiful photos. I highly recommend Now And Forever Photography and will definitely keep them in mind for any future photography needs.

Wilder Weddings Collective is a dedicated team of elopement and wedding photographers passionate about capturing wild love and real emotion. Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

From the very beginning, Carolyn and Jake went above and beyond what we ever expected from a wedding photographer. Not only did they capture the most incredible photos, but they even helped us find the perfect location to get married. Their guidance, kindness, and genuine excitement for our day made the entire experience so much less stressful. They were so fun, easygoing, and comfortable to work with. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and it honestly felt like we were spending the day with friends. Then we got our gallery… and we were absolutely blown away. The photos were even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. They captured every emotion, every little detail, and every special moment so perfectly. If you’re looking for photographers who truly care about their couples, go above and beyond, and deliver breathtaking photos, Carolyn and Jake are your people. They exceeded every expectation we had, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. We are so incredibly grateful for everything they did for us!
