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
Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

Our experience with MSMP MEDIA LLC as our wedding photographers was absolutely fantastic. They provided light, romantic and artistic photography that captured all the special moments of our big day, and the turn around on images was also surprising!

Now And Forever Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $875
  • Serves Riegelwood, NC

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.

My husband and I booked Candy right on our first call with her. She was so warm and charismatic, and my husband really connected with her background in the legal field—being an attorney himself, it gave him so much peace of mind knowing she’s detail-oriented and a great communicator. Working with Candy was an incredible experience from start to finish. We weren’t just looking for someone to take pretty photos—we wanted someone who would make the process easier, bring a calm presence, and still have an editorial eye for beautiful images. Candy delivered on all of that and more. She went above and beyond to make sure everything felt seamless and elevated.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Ashlyn and Sea and Shea was amazing from start to finish! Ashlyn from the booking process through delivery of our edited wedding photos has been a joy to work with. Our time has been so great with Ashlyn and her fun and bubbly personality really keeps the long days of photos light and carefree. We were kind of against doing engagement photos but after a couple of hours running around downtown Charleston and really getting to know her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera it did help tremendously on wedding day. Also, our engagement photos turned out AMAZING! Day of wedding, Ashlyn and her team were professional and on top of it. She got all the shots I wanted and more and our end result photos could not have turned out more perfect :) we are still in awe at the results. Not only do you get an amazing photographer and great photos but she is reasonably priced as well, perfect combination! 10/10 recommend! Now our problem is we found over 500 photos to get printed and put around our house, which is a little excessive but they are all so good we can't decide.

Hello, I'm Kaley — the founder and lead photographer at KTP for the past seven years. What began as a creative passion has grown into a thriving business, and I’m so grateful for the journey so far. 9 years ago, my deep love for storytelling through photography led me into the wedding industry.

There’s something incredibly moving about witnessing couples exchange vows in meaningful places, surrounded by those they love most. Capturing those genuine, emotional moments is truly what drives me.

Kaley Toth Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From our first interaction, Kaley's communication style was fast, genuine, and friendly - she made us feel at ease right away.
