I have three beautiful children, and they are what inspired me to start my own photography business. I graduated from UNCG with my Bachelor's Degree, and then my middle son was born and was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer. I began documenting his journey through photography. and it soon became a creative outlet for me. I decided to become a business and share my passion with others. We are so blessed to be able to say he is now cancer-free, but that experience really showed me how important it is to capture and preserve images of your loved ones and cherish the connection you have with your family.

“Corey did an AMAZING job, as did her second shooter, Karina, in capturing all of our special moments on the day of the wedding. She shared some quick snaps that were so special to look at. Most importantly, Corey checked on us every time she could to make sure we were comfortable and in a good place to keep taking photos. They both did an amazing job with all the sneak peeks so far and we can't wait to see the rest. Best photographer in NC and so easy to work with. HIGHLY recommend Corey and Lionel Faith Photography!”

“My husband and I loved our experience with Original Weddings Photography. We got 2 photographers for a very competitive price and not only did they check all of the boxes off our shot list, but they came in with creative ideas and captured moments that we want to remember forever. We had several issues with scheduling and the timing of when our pre-wedding call was, but Sarah was so understanding and worked with us so that we felt confident in the details given to our photographers. From the moment the photographers arrived at the wedding to the moment they left, they were energetic and encouraging as a part of the celebration.

“When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.”

Your wedding day moves fast — the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the hug from someone you haven't seen in years, the look between you two when no one else is watching. I'm here to catch all of it, so years from now you can look back and feel it again, not just see it. I blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — refined, intentional images that still feel real. Nothing overly posed, nothing you'll look back on and wince at. My background in art direction and a lifetime spent moving between countries shaped how I see a scene: I notice light, composition, and the small human moments most people miss.

“What stood out most was how she captured the in-between moments. The photos felt emotional and real, not staged. Looking through our gallery honestly felt like reliving that season of our relationship.”

“If I could give Brayley more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!! From the very beginning, she was amazing. She was so communicative when I was first looking for a wedding photographer, and as the wedding got closer, she was always quick to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. She made the whole process feel so much less stressful. On our wedding day, she was everything we could have hoped for. She was friendly, organized, and so helpful, and she truly helped the day run smoothly. She made my husband, me, and our entire wedding party feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which made such a difference. She was also just so much fun to be around. She brought the best energy all day and was the sweetest hype woman and cheerleader, which I absolutely loved. She made us feel so confident and made taking pictures feel easy. When she sent us our sneak peeks, we were honestly blown away. My stepmom and I might be a little biased, but we both agreed they’re some of the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. We are absolutely obsessed with them!! Brayley is so talented at what she does, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we’re so grateful she was part of our wedding day.”
