We found Katie on Instagram and instantly fell in love with her work. She photographed our engagement session, my bridal portraits, and our wedding day — and every single experience with her was incredible. From the very first session, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, like we were just hanging out with a new friend! She went above and beyond, not only capturing the most stunning photos but also helping with our wedding timeline and answering all the (many!) questions I had along the way. Her guidance and support made such a difference in the whole planning process. We are absolutely in LOVE with every single photo she’s taken for us, and we’re still getting endless compliments; not just on the pictures themselves, but from guests and other vendors who raved about how amazing she was to work with. I truly cannot recommend Katie enough. She’s incredibly talented, so much fun to be around, and now has customers for life in us!

Growing up, I was obsessed with magical love stories. Fairy tale love stories always left me with a euphoric feeling. I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

As a videographer working alongside a good photographer on a wedding day means a lot. Caitlin is always a photographer I highly recommend! She cares deeply about every individual she works with. She is creative with the shots she captures to keep each gallery fresh and unique. She is one of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure of working with! Every time I see her name on one of my vendor forms asking who I'm working with, my heart fills with joy. It is so much fun working alongside Caitlin and I can not speak highly enough of her and her work!

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!

Wow, we could not have been more impressed with Brian and Anna!

We got our pictures back quickly, and loved every one. From family portraits to candid moments and "detail" shots, we got everything we wanted, plus some shots we didn't know we wanted! Brian and Anna were given very little "must have" shots, and really impressed us with how they worked to capture every amazing moment of that day. Both Brian and Anna were easy to talk to, flexible, and detail-oriented, which is crucial when hiring someone to capture your special day. Brian presented us with many package options to assure we got exactly what we wanted. The style of photography was unique and and wonderful, and fit our aesthetic perfectly.

We have never used a photography company before, so we were not sure what to expect. However, all doubts quickly went away from day one. From the video conference calls to the prompt replies to e-mails we always felt like they were there to help guide us through the process and address any of our questions. The photographers were personable and captured unique moments that we did not even know were happening throughout the wedding. Upon receiving the photos we were able to relive our special day all over again thanks to the numerous photos we received. The candid shots were our favorite.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.
