  • Serves Rutherfordton, NC

Hi, I'm Allison- a mom of two, huge animal lover (mom to six fur babies), and most importantly a hopeless romantic with a passion for capturing your love story and perfectly curating it. No really, I hand edit every single image until I feel like it is perfection while also taking a documentary style approach so nothing feels forced. I take a personal interest in your wedding day and aim to make it as stress free as possible. I want you to know you are in good hands and I will do whatever it takes to make your wedding dreams a reality.

Allison Wilson Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we spoke with Allison, we were impressed by her prompt, personable communication style. Her authentic, creative, and skilled approach produced truly memorable and thoughtful photos that captured the unique spirit of our special day. Allison went above and beyond, making my husband and I - who aren't big picture takers - feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We could not have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding. Allison's hard work and attention to detail ensured we have a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish forever.

Helen Joy Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Rutherfordton, NC

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.

Helen Joy took our wedding pictures and they turned out amazing! We had an outdoor ceremony and she took some incredible photos, both organic shots and poses with the wedding party and family. She was great to work with, professional, and reasonably priced. We received our prints quickly afterward also. The entire experience with Helen Joy was an absolute pleasure!

I'm Bethany (she/her) - a portrait, elopement, and wedding photographer based in Boone, North Carolina! When I'm not photographing the most amazing couples in the world, you can find me walking at Bass Lake, binging on true crime, and spending quality time with my little family!

The quality of her work was truly stunning - their photos were beautiful, light, and airy, capturing all the special moments of our day perfectly. Despite the rain, sun, and even a rainbow, Bethany and her team handled everything beautifully, and all the photos looked incredible.

Shannon Leopold Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Rutherfordton, NC

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!

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.

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens. With love and a lifetime of gratitude, Mike & Ali
