Shannon S Clark Photography

Newland, NC
  • Classic style

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life. Thats why I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

Shannon was great. We didn’t have to worry about missing anything. Pictures are perfect and her simple touch was perfection.

Helen Joy Photography

5.0

Saluda, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day. I take only a handful of wedding clients a year so that I stay fresh and excited. I usually shoot about 30% classic portraiture and 70% lifestyle/photo documentary. I like to tell the story through movement and candid photos, while also taking time to create striking and timeless portraits. I edit all my photos in black and white and color, with a film finish.

I loved working with Helen Joy, and I highly recommend her for any event. Her wedding photography was lovely, she did a great job getting the ‘formal’ portraits of family and the bridal party. But my favorite pictures were the candid moments I didn’t think to capture, she has an eye for special moments that I didn’t recognize at the time but are now my favorite pictures.

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun!

We cannot recommend Kali enough! Covid-19 was not part of the wedding we dreamed of or planned, but with all of the support and help Kali helped make our dreams come true and put our anxieties at ease. She was very attentive and was a delight to work with! Her fun loving personality makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with your best friend. We could not be happier with the way our photos came out and know we will treasure them for years to come. If you want a kind, creative, and talented wedding photographer look no further!

Shannon Leopold Photography

5.0

Boone, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

Hi I'm Shannon, I was raised in the city of Los Angeles, but now reside in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I describe my photography approach as a "directed documentary". I love to blend more traditional money shots (the big kiss, walking down the aisle, first dances) with a photojournalistic angle that feels like natural snapshots rather than posed photos. My firm belief is that great photos can only reflect what naturally unfolds on your big day. I focus on candids, guest reactions, and photographing anything that helps tell a complete, and unique story. My goal is that anyone who looks at your gallery feels what it was like to be there.

Shannon has impeccable talent! Her photos always tell the most beautiful stories. You can't help but do a little "happy dance" whenever she sends a gallery your way!

  • Serves Purlear, NC

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

The team at Once Like a Spark shot my husband and I's November 2023 wedding at the Beauport Hotel Gloucester. We could never say enough TERRIFIC things!!! We are so impressed with the value of working with OLAS. Their pricing was extremely reasonable and what we got for it blew us away -- 8 hours of a photographer and second shooter, a videographer and second shooter, 400 amazing photos, a highlight reel, videos of speeches, the entire ceremony and a 45-min feature film of everything. The talent of Graham, our photographer, and Zack our videographer was seriously SO impressive. The passion they each have for their craft was so evident the day of our wedding and to see them so excited about the work got us that much more excited about it too. Additionally, they were so easy and FUN to work with! We had such a natural and positive rapport with them and they seriously made taking all the many photos required on your wedding day feel relaxed and enjoyable. In addition, Hannah was awesome to work with! She was extremely responsive with every one of the many emails I sent and made us feel like we were in great hands from the moment we signed our contract. Would recommend this team, 10/10 to anyone!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Love Knot Photography

San Francisco, CA
  • Editorial style

  • Serves Purlear, NC

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see. The only minor feedback would be that for the large group photo that was requested prior to the wedding (all 75 guests in one group picture after the ceremony) wish there had been more directions given to guests to follow (using the mic that I had offered for directions to be shared aloud) how to come together / move around in an organized and efficient way that would work for the pictures. But overall, it has been a great experience working with Isaac for these past several months and we are very happy with his work that captures the moments of our special day in a soft and hear-warming manner.

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.

From the AWESOME customer service to the BEAUTIFUL Photos. We are sooo satisfied with our experience. We had a blissful Beach wedding in Myrtle Beach and I wish I could relive the day over and over. I may not can physically relive it but having these photographers I know we can always see our big day replay for years to come. Thank you again

We were so worried about finding the "perfect" photographer for our big day, but Kristen Thomison was an answer to prayer! She is a precious person who goes above and beyond to make sure the client has exactly what they want and envision. Before booking with her, she made me a Pinterest board of what her vision was for our big day based on our venue parameters and our personal wishes. This extra detail that she chose to provide helped me to feel settled in my decision, trusting we had the same vision! Furthermore, she gets to know her clients on a personal level so she can write our story pictorially. She is incredible and gives her heart and soul to what she does!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

Hi! Molly here—lover of Jesus, laughter, and sunshine. I specialize in capturing weddings and elopements for the happily in love. I strive to tell each couple’s story in a natural, authentic way so that when they look back on their photographs they’re able to relive their favorite memories and moments for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I never, ever leave reviews but I feel SO lucky to have found Molly that I feel a drive to pay it forward! I can’t believe she somehow fit our budget, because her photos look like she could charge thousands more. If you are debating who to hire… your search is over. Molly is AMAZING!! My partner and I are both notoriously bad at being in front of a camera. We get uncomfortable and have painfully fake “camera smiles” that we usually can’t control or get rid of. With Molly, all that vanished! She was so good at bringing out natural smiles - pricelessly important! - but also gets plenty of more serious romantic photos as well. Also for some reason I thought I’d have to come up with most of the shot concepts (which now seems silly). Being so busy with wedding planning, by the time we arrived for our engagement photos I had nothing. I soon realized that was NOT a problem- of course, Molly is a professional and had no shortage of ideas. She directed us in where and how to stand which was such a relief. As we did so, she asked us playful questions and gave us little word games to play that made us smile and laugh genuinely. She also rolled with the punches as we hadn’t warned her we both had brought 2-3 outfits lol. She waited patiently and not only did we end up having fun, the photos were beautiful!! By now I’ve received a sneak peek of our wedding photos too, and I am EVEN MORE IMPRESSED. I love them so much I could cry. When searching for a photographer within our price range, I browsed other portfolios that were quite pretty but felt more staged and formal. (While I loved BEING staged, I didn’t want them to appear awkwardly so.) I consulted my friends on who to hire, but didn’t tell them my preference and they ALL agreed. Molly’s pictures from the engagement feel intimate, playful, romantic, moody. Her photos so far from the wedding are even better. She finds the best lighting too!!! And she guided a shot that I was skeptical about at the time (sort of a wreath of bridesmaid flowers around my face) which is now one of my absolute favorites. I’ve heard the same from my husband and bridesmaids too, everyone has pointed out how much they love that one. Trust her 3 Molly is top of the line!

Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton.

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

I would recommend Him&Her over and over again! ..for weddings, maternity, engagement, and more! We had our wedding and maternity shot with them, and they are just the most fabulous photographers! They worked with what we wanted and what we envisioned, while also throwing in some fun shots of their own that they thought would compliment my husband and I as a couple! We loved getting the tons of photos back in such a timely manner, which were perfectly edited and beautiful!

Hi! My name is Jacqueline and I've been in the photography industry for almost a decade. I believe that when I pick up my camera, I am there to tell a story. On your wedding day, I am there to document a new chapter of your love story. I capture all the intimate moments of your day, and then some!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with Jacqueline for our wedding this past weekend. She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE. Thank you so much Jacqueline!!!!! - Ben and Lindsay

Thanks to Rivkah, we have never felt more met with empathy than when we had to re-arrange our wedding plans. Rivkah was there to walk us through new options and adapt to our new needs. In the end, we followed her creative muse as she took us through her vision of an Icelandic elopement.

We're Giuliana, Brian, and Lane of Halifax Hill Studios! A photography trio based just North of Raleigh: we love photographing weddings, engagements, family portraits and everything in between! Giuliana and Brian, the founders of Halifax Hill Studios, are married as of Fall 2021! Lane is a good friend of Giuliana and Brian, who just recently joined the Halifax Hill Studios team. Most of our wedding packages include a second shooter, so we tag-team throughout wedding day to provide you with the very best service and amazing photographs.

We knew after speaking to Giuliana on the phone that we wanted to book with her. Our wedding was at the Victorian so we knew she was the expert on places for photo and how the space worked. She is such a fun (and cool) person and she worked with such a peace and ease on our wedding day. I felt like as soon as she arrived, the day was just full of fun things! She gives clear yet inviting direction with poses (we as a couple and individuals definitely liked having someone direct us in posing so we didn't just stand there awkwardly). I never felt like she was bossing us around and she asked several times if there were additional things we wanted photographed or groups of people. Giuliana made us feel right at home in front of her camera and our pictures are INCREDIBLE. I cannot speak enough to her patience and ease with family photos, portraits, and other vendors. I felt like she had quite the challenge with all of our portraits and things going on but she handled it with such ease and it truly flew by. We actually ended up with extra time to be alone during cocktail hour which we wanted but I was never sure we would actually get it with our photo list, but she made it happen! We also had Giuliana come up to us in DC for our engagement shoot which was so much fun. We had a blast shooting at the monuments and she handled the people and weather changes with such an ease which took a lot of stress off of us!

In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.
