From the start of the process until the end, Adrienne was incredibly timely and personable in her communication and scheduling.

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!

We love to create custom menus for couples who love food. We think that weddings are an amazing way to express yourself and to give your guests a taste of what is special to you! Let's set up a call to chat!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re considering Sage & Spice Catering or hiring Tori Frasher as your wedding planner—do it. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding, hands down. Let’s start with Sage & Spice Catering. The food was unbelievable. Truly, I’m still dreaming about it—and so are many of our guests who went out of their way to tell me how delicious everything was. From passed hors d’oeuvres to our late-night snack station, everything was flawless. The presentation, the flavor, the service—it was all next level. Their team was so much more than caterers—they were kind, attentive, and willing to lend a helping hand outside of their official duties. They were on top of every detail from planning to clean-up and brought such a calm, professional presence to our day. We also used Sage & Spice for our open bar, and they knocked it out of the park. We ordered all our wine through them (super easy), and they helped us create two specialty cocktails that our guests loved. Their guidance on how much alcohol to order was spot-on, and even with just two bartenders, they were so efficient that we never had a real line for drinks. And now for Tori. I could write a novel about how incredible Tori is. She’s not just a wedding planner—she’s a magician. Tori made the entire planning process easy, stress-free, and even FUN. She was always three steps ahead, thought through every detail, and had solutions to problems I didn’t even know I had. Her calm energy and expertise kept me grounded through the entire experience. And on the wedding day, she was everywhere. Coordinating timelines, making magic behind the scenes, and even getting down on the bathroom floor to help bustle my dress. I cannot imagine going through this process without her, and I’m endlessly grateful we had her by our side. Tori and the entire Sage & Spice team are, in a word, extraordinary. I would recommend them a thousand times over.

jB JAMS excells in providing romantic, personal, fun and memorable wedding celebrations with your wishes in mind! We will work together to create your ULTIMATE wedding day using your wishes and visions combined with our extensive wedding experience!

I was the bride that wanted to cut corners and do it myself. I am so glad my father booked Sue even though I protested. Upon our first meeting, I realized what all goes into a wedding MC and DJ and that I would NOT have been able to do it myself. Sue saw I didn't have a clue and effortlessly took over the reigns and the pressure from my shoulders. jB Jams has received many awards in their field and there is a reason, they are professional, catering, and have great relations with the venues in our area, which is a huge help. Sue was very familiar with my venue and my wedding coordinator and they were able to work together easily and saved me so much hassle. Sue sent me a survey to complete and in turn used those answers to totally cater the wedding to us and our love story. I was adamant I did not want a typical, cheesy, cringey, boring wedding and Sue delivered! From helping us with the processional, to the announcements, the games, and the music-my 28 person wedding (Covid!) was my total dream wedding and she is a big reason for that. Sue really gave us special attention and care, by the end she felt like family! All my guests (including some wedding crashers) loved our wedding and raved about it. My family looks forward to working with jB Jams again the next time we have an event. Book 'em! The best money you will spend on your wedding.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

**Please inquire through my website. I do not respond to messages on Zola.** Hey there! My name's Nick, I'm a wedding photographer and videographer from NW Georgia. My goal is to provide an authentic story of your wedding while providing a comfortable and fun experience! Whether you're having an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I'm here to listen, understand your vision, and bring it to life.

One of my best friends is also a part-time wedding photographer, and she often works with Nick. She photographed my brother's wedding with Nick as her second shooter, and all the photos turned out amazing. When I asked her who I should pick for my wedding photographer (since she was my maid of honor), she immediately recommended Nick and put us in contact. He was very professional during every interaction and always responded promptly. We opted for the package that had a second shooter, included an engagement shoot, and was for a 10-hour day. The quality of his photos for the price is unmatched. It was by far the best investment of the wedding. We did the engagement shoot about a month before the wedding, and he let us pick the locations. The pictures were also returned within the same week. It is well worth doing the engagement shoot because it gives you the opportunity to figure out how each other works, and it made our wedding day that much more relaxing and wonderful. He and his second shooter arrived early on the wedding day and immediately went to work scoping out shooting locations and getting detail shots. He helped make sure we were on time during the morning and afternoon leading up to the ceremony without making me feel rushed at any time. His second shooter was the perfect complement to his personality, which helped all our pictures look stunning while our personalities and real smiles were shining through. We got sneak peek pictures the day after the wedding, and the rest of the portfolio was ready 6 weeks later, which was very fast for someone with a full-time job outside of photography. He kept us updated on when pictures would be ready, which was highly appreciated. When the portfolio was ready, he scheduled a Zoom call with us to show us how to work the website and give us an opportunity to ask any final questions before the site was published. It was a nice personal touch to closing out that chapter of the wedding. Everyone who has looked at the pictures have said how stunning and beautiful they turned out! We cannot wait to have our favorites printed and hanging on our walls to look at for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Nick!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan. We found Jonathan through a friend, and he shot both our engagement photos and our wedding! Throughout the entire process, Jonathan wasn't just our photographer -- we really felt like he has become a dear friend to us. When we wanted to film our ceremony at the last minute due to family who weren't able to travel, Jonathan and Candice said, "No problem!" and filmed our ceremony, and got us the video within a week of the wedding, too, so our grandmas can watch. We will always treasure that he did that for us. Jonathan is incredibly talented and takes beautiful candid photos as well as the perfect posed photos we needed with our family. He is incredibly prompt in responding to questions, and delivers photos at an incredible speed too! We were able to view so many wonderful photos just 2 days after our wedding, and it's just the previews! And hey, if you are throwing a PARTY, Jonathan's dance floor photos cannot be beat. TL;DR: He is a gift to wedding photographers everywhere, we love Jonathan.

Andrea-Marie is a fine art documentary wedding photographer specializing in romantic, editorial-style imagery. Blending candid moments with timeless elegance, she crafts a visual story that captures the genuine emotions of your wedding day. With a thoughtful and refined approach, Andrea provides a seamless experience, offering personalized guidance throughout your wedding journey. Serving Asheville, North Carolina, and beyond, Andrea-Marie Photography creates heirloom-quality images that stand the test of time.

I have followed Andrea’s photography on social media for years because in my wildest dreams she is who I would have capture my fairytale moments. Well in 2024 I finally had the opportunity of a lifetime when she captured my elopement in Positano, Italy. She blew even my wildest dreams out of the water. If you want a photographer who is a quadruple threat Andrea is your person! She’s a visionary, wedding planner, confidante, and artist who compromises nothing to merge your vision with her talents in the most magical way. If you have ever wanted to plan your dream elopement, but don’t even know where to begin logistically Andrea is your person! Andrea is not only well versed in travel and local customs, but is also exceptional at doing her research to maximize the beauty of the destination in the most authentic way. Andrea was pivotal in navigating the language barrier while also finding the sweetest local team (hair and makeup artists, florists, driver, and boat captain, etc) to bring everything to life. From the perfect locations for photographs to curating the most Italy-inspired meals, snacks, and desserts Andrea found ways to compliment the sentiment of the day in every single way. If you want a photographer living out her calling, Andrea is your person! I truly believe her vocation is anointed, that she has been called to walk alongside couples to not only provide the most exceptional keepsake, but that she believes fully in the covenant of marriage and the full extent of celebration that it deserves. Her skill and competency with a camera is unmatched as is her ability to work with people. Andrea gave us the time of day to hear our thoughts and questions, provided organization, attention to detail, dynamic planning prior to and day of that made our wedding day feel at ease, yet purposeful. The amount of pride Andrea takes in her work and the way she cherishes her couples unfettered love stories is indisputable. As is the case with elopements we had to deal with different aspects of coastal weather and Andrea had contingency plans for all of it and probably other scenarios that we never considered because she took that on for our sake. I’ll say it again she accounts for it all so you can have the best day ever! I couldn’t have dreamed up a better day from start to finish or a more effective, powerful, and fierce photographer to help usher us into this next chapter. Andrea captured the essence of us so beautifully and she did so by providing affirmation, levity, poise, professionalism, energy, grace, and comfort throughout our day gallivanting around the Amalfi Coast. There is so much more I could say, but her heart and her work speak for themselves. From the bottom of our hearts we are profoundly grateful to have gotten to work with Andrea. Be prepared to want her to capture all of your moments or to just invite her over for coffee, she’s that incredible.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda both on weddings and as my co-host on the Super Gay Wedding podcast and she's earned my absolute highest recommendation. I literally recommend her to all of my clients. Beyond being a consummate professional and a lovely human, Amanda is a trained fine artist with an incredible eye for lighting and composition. If you leave a little wiggle room in your wedding day schedule, you'll have an album full of beautiful memories that also happen to be fine works of art. Amanda is a true team player who will do whatever it takes to make your wedding day work. An avid traveler and hiker with a small Jeep obsession, she'll also do that WHEREever it needs to be done. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Amanda RIGHT NOW.

Hi guys! Mekai here, owner + founder of Sparks + Sand floral design. Originally from Palm Springs, California and now in Raleigh for a couple years, S+S has brought me the most incredible opportunities to share in the joy + wonder florals can bring to every person, every event, every meaningful moment. I am so darn thankful I get to connect with so many unique people with visions I cannot believe I get to bring to the table. Thank you for supporting me, + allowing me the space to be a part of your most special celebrations. I cannot wait to connect with you!

This review is long overdue for my October 2021 wedding! We hired Sparks and Sand and I could not have been happier with how the florals turned out for my wedding. The process of planning was so stressful and we had to postpone from our original 2020 date. However, Mekai was a DREAM to work with. She was so helpful and responsive to all of my questions and quote changes. We had some last minute changes to the quote but she handled everything with ease. The florals were GORGEOUS and I could not have been happier. I literally teared up when they arrived to our Airbnb. They were everything I could have ever asked for. She understood fully what I was going for with just a few inspiration pictures. Everything was so easy and the florals were arranged beautifully at the venue. I'm so happy that I booked Mekai!

Our relationship with Todd started well before Brooke’s wedding, and working with him on her big day was just another reminder of why we love teaming up with him. His work is consistently top-notch, and his calm, trustworthy presence makes him someone we’re always excited to have on the vendor team. Since then, we’ve continued collaborating on several weddings and events—and with each one, our appreciation for Todd grows. He’s not only incredibly talented and dependable, but also just an all-around great guy. Grateful to call him both a colleague and a friend!

First, my mom failed to read our contract correctly and had the whole family up at sunrise for a shoot instead of 6:45pm. Among the large family group were our twins who would’ve been an absolute nightmare had we stuck with the original time slot we agreed to. The photographer was so kind and flexible and showed up the next morning on short notice to accommodate our group. Not only does my mom hate having her photo taken, our family pet has been sick with cancer for some time now and they did such a wonderful job capturing all of the love and joy surrounding my mom and our beloved pet. Last, my wife and I are a same-sex couple and not all photographers have been the most comfortable to work with in the past. This team is professional and friendly and treated our little family and marriage the same as she did my sisters by offering to take romantic pictures and recognizing our relationship appropriately. It really is the small things that matter and I can’t recommend this team enough.
