Owner Faith Truesdale has worked as a bartender since 2017. Driven by her love for crafting unique cocktails and creating memorable experiences, Faith went into business on her own. She brought together her creative flair, extensive knowledge of spirits & flavors, and the best team of bartenders she knows, and Traveling Tavern was born!

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith was so dang awesome! My original bartender canceled on me 6 weeks before my wedding and Faith from the Traveling Tavern saved the day! She was so organized and was very clear what was included in her services. She was great with the guests and so incredibly nice! She has all the equipment you would need for a wedding bar, so definitely inquire about what she has before you rent any bar equipment or tables from other rental places! I CANNOT RECCOMMEND HER ENOUGH! She will for sure make your wedding planning easier and your wedding drinks so special. I wish I had found her sooner, but I am so thankful it worked out and she was able to help me make our wedding so awesome! After the wedding I had so many guests commenting on how wonderful Faith was. I HIGHLY recommend Faith! - Photo by: Dani Keane Photography

Two Become One 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Sanford, NC

👫 Meet Us: Austin, videographer, and Kiara, photographer, a dynamic duo devoted to preserving your essence. Three kids – Benjamin, Malachi, and Solomon – family matters most. 🌿 Our Beginning: Married under a ginkgo tree, our journey inspires us. The ginkgo leaf symbolizes enduring strength, crafting stories that stand the test of time. 📷🎥 Capturing Essence: Beyond documenting, we build genuine connections for a comfortable, enjoyable wedding journey.

We had Kiara do both our engagement session and capture our wedding day, and my husband and I absolutely love her and her work!! Kiara is so sweet and approachable; she took initiative in overcoming unexpected hurdles (our engagement session location had to change last minute due to weather, and she was the one who let us know and offered alternative options); she appreciated all my communication (I was definitely a type A bride with a million scheduling docs and detailed shots lists that I shared with her) and she returned that communication in kind; she acted with such grace under pressure and unfair criticisms of her work (I unfortunately have some extended family members with strong opinions who decided to voice them on the wedding day); and we appreciated that her ultimate focus was doing what my husband and I wanted, making sure we were happy and that the day was about us and capturing what was important to us. We also loved her Christian background and how that influenced her support of our marriage, with prayers and meaningful checking in throughout the planning process. I can’t recommend Kiara enough!!

Hey there, I am so happy you are here. A GIRL WITH A DREAMI am a big time lover of love, Jesus, and traveling the world - but you can just call me Hailey. Based in ATL, Im a full time wedding photographer. Im always down for an adventure. When I'm not behind a camera, you can find me on zooming off on a hike with my husband or chatting someone's ear off about my latest podcast obsession. I am here for all the coffee, hugs, & candids. ohh and my Cat hehe

Awarded Best of Zola
I chose Hailey from the moment we had our initial call to talk through her services. She listened so well to our wedding vision & asked thoughtful questions. We were forgoing a wedding coordinator & other “extras.” Hailey was still excited to take us on as clients which some photographers would not have. I was ready to confirm during the call with how supportive and excited she sounded about our day. From this call, she sent over her proposal for cost & information very quickly. She was responsive via text & email to any questions we had. Closer to the date, she sent over a questionnaire so she could be prepared with the photos we wanted. It also included tips & guidance on making sure the experience is smooth. This was super helpful. During the wedding, I was blown away by her and her second shooter. She was decisive when we needed someone to make a decision, supportive to me as a bride, went above and beyond to handle any last minute changes or hiccups with grace. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken. She made it sooo easy and fun! The photos are sooo creative and I continue to pinch myself that they are ours! Wow! Here’s where she deserves to be shouted from the rooftops: We scheduled a hike we wanted photographed to a waterfall on site at the venue (our venue at Hawkesdene in NC lodges all guests for 2 nights). The venue shared it was 1 mile in/out and not difficult. Well it HAILED the night before and rained all night so the path was flooded and muddy. We had to decide to forge ahead or cancel. She without hesitation was ready to forge ahead, ruining her shoes, to ensure we could still have our hike documented with our guests. She encouraged me along the way and I am so grateful because the photos are just incredible. Anyone would be truly lucky to have Hailey capture their wedding. This review doesn’t do her or her skills justice. I will forever cheer her on & can’t wait to find an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

  • Serves Sanford, NC

Hi there, I'm Rae, the creative eye behind Rae Jones Photography. Photography isn't just a job for me, it's a passion. It's my goal to capture unique and emotions that make your special day unforgettable. Whether it's a wedding, engagement or bridal session, I believe in telling your story through timeless, beautiful imagery. I am intentional with posing so you never are left wondering what to do with your hands or where to place your bouquet. Along with posing, I capture the sweet candids, whether it's a loving glance, a tearful moment or uncontrollable joy with your friends and family!

I have been using Rae as my family photographer since 2021, so when my husband and I decided to have the wedding we never had it was a no brainer that she was going to be our photographer. Rae is always extremely professional and a joy to be around. The day of the wedding was flowed seamlessly on her end. I’m not even sure how she managed to get as many photos that she did. She’s so great at posing the objects of the photo. She was able to get the necessary shots quickly so that we didn’t have to miss out on some of the performances we had lined up and they still looked great. There were a couple times where I randomly came up with a photo idea that I wanted to do and she was able to understand the vision, adapt, and get those shots. Everyone enjoyed working with her at the wedding and spoke on how kind and inviting her energy is. All in all I highly recommend Rae for your wedding photography needs.

My love for wedding planning began through my love of reading.

My dream became a reality in 2020 when I finally went off on my own and created Livvy Marie Weddings.

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.

For daydreamers and romantics. Here to tell your love story through the art of still imagery. Professional photographer for 5+ years and I feel so lucky to get to do what I love for a living. Lover of coffee, art, nature, Harry Potter, and all things mystical/magical.

Katelyn took our engagement photos in 2021 and did an incredible job! We sent photos of our ideal location and aesthetic and she did a lot of research on the best places to shoot. She made us feel super comfortable throughout the photoshoot, recommending different poses and making little adjustments. She had a quick turn around time to send us all the edited photos, and they turned out amazing. We would recommend her photography services to anyone!
