Awarded Best of Zola
Trust me when I say, Andy is without a doubt the guy you want photographing your wedding. From the moment I saw the first of his portfolio, I knew he was the perfect fit. He showed how valuable and professional he is from the very beginning. I forgot to confirm our initial meeting, but Andy made it work anyway, a sign of adaptability that we greatly appreciated. He is easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable, and is very helpful in explaining options and posing. I am extremely picky about photos, so I looked at many portfolios before choosing to interview anyone, and Andy has the best eye I’ve seen by far. His photos are timeless, artsy, and just downright beautiful. You will get an amazing variation of photos: movement, perfect lighting, details, posing (with his help, thankfully!) and THE BEST candid photos. We had never been to a wedding like ours, but Andy gave great advice and really helped us visualize and plan our day. We got married shortly after Hurricane Helene so we couldn’t get to our original adventure session hike, but Andy had a whole album of back up hikes for us to choose from, all of which were just as stunning as our first choice. We had the best time spending our day with Andy, we truly could not be happier with our photos. We’re only a year out from our wedding and I’m already scheming for an anniversary shoot! Choose Andy, I promise you’ll never regret it!

Let me count the ways that Laura is the best...and you would regret not having her capture your day. From the first moment you reach out to her she will take time to get to know you, your ideas you have for your day, go over options that may also fit your dreams that you may not have thought of, and give you the best quotes and jokes from start to finish. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease with the day and is always willing to go with the flow....and the weather in western NC is always all over the place so that's always a fantastic trait to have. Laura keeps up with her communication, gives amazing vendor recommendations if you're missing something, and can offer the best options for places to have your ceremony and additional pictures if you want a change of background scenery. Long story short, Laura is simply the best...movie quotes and all.

Erin Jay Wedding Photography earned our recommendation. Erin’s prompt communication from the beginning was invaluable. Despite being directly affected by the devastation caused by hurricane Helene, Erin made sure to stay in communication and even traveled to Knoxville, TN from Asheville, NC to capture our wedding. There are no words for that kind of dedication. She truly cares about what she does. There was a lot going on in a short amount of time, but Erin was steady, calm and managed to get some truly beautiful photos of us, the scenery and friends and family.

Hey there! John & Amy here, the husband and wife team behind the cameras. We’re both adventurers, daydreamers, and you guessed it wildly in love. Fun fact, we’re actually highschool sweethearts and have been together for 10+ years. We are currently based in NC and are transitioning to WA in 2022. We love to travel and are down to adventure throughout the US & Beyond. We both have a heart for exploration and love working with couples who share this adventurous spirit. Genuine smiles, hearty laughs, spontaneous adventures, that’s what we’re all about.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are over the moon with our photos and videos from Amy and John. The quality is incredible, and the quantity is unbelievable. They delivered an incredible amount of photos so quickly, and our friends and family have commented several times that it looks like our wedding was featured in a magazine spread because the quality is so impressive. We’ve been looking through them nonstop, and every time we see some new gem. They captured so many big and small moments throughout the weekend. It is incredible that they were able to capture so much without us or our guests feeling like there were cameras everywhere. They blended seamlessly, and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with them all day. They were so kind and lovely to work with and directed us beautifully, while allowing us to be ourselves and capturing genuine and authentic moments. They both brought such a calm presence. We can’t believe they captured so much content and so many angles when we don’t even remember them doing that - we mostly remember them being by our sides and talking and laughing with us. So many of our guests have said similar things. They truly impressed everyone and have given us so many incredible photos and videos to remember the weekend. Hiring them was such a great decision. We would 100% do it again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

If we could give more than 5 stars to Michael, we would. Michael is an amazing photographer and beyond that just a genuine amazing human being. When we first started looking for a photographer, we both went into it knowing that we are both incredibly awkward people when asked to pose. With this in mind, we started the big search - the one that everyone reminds you that will tell your stories for years. Enter finding Michael - his website mentioned candidness, and a documentary type of style. Two things that immediately caught our eye - not to mention looking through his previous work- which is just unbelievable! Throughout the year leading up to the wedding, Michael was incredibly helpful. He answered any questions we had and offered super helpful suggestions when figuring out the flow of the day. One tidbit that I would recommend to any bride is work with your photographer to create that timeline - a tidbit from Michael. He also managed to have a blog post for every type of question I had (and I had a lot LOL). A few weeks prior to the wedding, Michael met with us via zoom to go over the different elements of our days and to go over our family list (which was insanely helpful day of because we were able to knock those out)! When our wedding day arrived, he was there early to get everything set up and his presence just put everyone at ease. It felt like someone who had been part of our family friends rather than a wedding vendor - which was another element that was important to us: good vibes! Our wedding day and the pictures felt just like us - entertaining and full of laughter. We hiked through some trails for our first look, walked along a highway, and climbed rocks- which lead to nothing but new memories and lots of giggles. We both were really nervous about taking the posed pics but Michael put us in our natural element and just focused on capturing our story, which was a trend all throughout the day. None of us will ever forget the fact we forgot to tell him we had a 6 foot hoagie at the ceremony. We also had a blast using bubble guns for a photo op fake exit and learned there is such a thing as too many bubbles! Within a day after the wedding, we had a sneak peek - and we generally could not believe how AMAZING our photos turned out. It’s still surreal that we could look that good in photos, he captured exactly what we were hoping -us having the time of our life and starting our life together as husband and wife. CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH! P.S. Plus how awesome is it when your vendors are so cool that they feel like friends by the end of the wedding so you have to get a selfie to commemorate the hours of planning and talking you did to make the day one of the most incredible days EVER!!!

  • Serves Skyland, NC

My name is Ashton. I’m drawn to the things that can’t be recreated: a glance across a crowded room, a hand held a little tighter, the feeling of knowing your life is about to change. My work is rooted in documenting those moments as they unfold, without performance or pretense. I believe the most meaningful photographs are the ones that feel honest. The ones that transport you back not just to how it looked, but to how it felt. Through a blend of documentary storytelling and refined imagery, I create photographs that become part of your history. Artifacts of love, connection, and the people who made it all matter.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashton went above and beyond to ensure we have beautiful stylized photos of our special day. She did a great job capturing the key elements of an Eastern Orthodox wedding. She found locations for us to take wonderful couples photos between the ceremony and reception. Ashton was also very patient with the groom and his friend’s silly photo requests. We couldn’t have picked a better photographer to capture this moment in our lives together.

I love being a wedding photographer in Asheville. Spending time with couples one on one to develop a personal connection and make them feel comfortable is what I love! I want everyone to feel like they are in their comfortable and natural environment when they are with me.

Jessica was fantastic!! We had small outdoor wedding on a Tuesday in February with 24 guests and Jessica captured it perfectly. Prior to the wedding Jessica made sure every detail was covered and a timeline was created for a seamless day. Day of Jessica arrived on time and was ready to shoot! She was flexible, staying an extra hour to capture more of our cocktail hour and braved the cold as we had requested going to Dry Falls waterfall after the ceremony to get some shots. Our two large dogs were a part of the ceremony and Jessica was wonderful working with them prior and during the ceremony to get special shots with them! We absolutely love how all of our pictures turned out. Jessica captured our love perfectly and our day will forever be documented beautifully from her photos. Highly recommend Jessica!

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

I cannot say enough good things about Juan Rodriguez Photography! Juan shot film photos alongside a digital photographer at our wedding. Juan's photos are absolutely beautiful - organic, artistic and distinct. They are some of my favorite photos from the day. The best thing about Juan though is his attitude. His positivity, calmness and proactiveness made a real difference without how I felt on my wedding day. Though our digital photographer had never met him before our wedding, she commented how much she enjoyed working with him. Many of our bridal party made similar comments. He was always looking for ways to help, whether holding bouquets or giving my veil movement outside the frame. Besides being a wonderful photographer, Juan is just the type of person you want with you on your wedding day. I can't recommend him enough.

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!

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!

Once in a lifetime occasions call for professional experience and peace of mind knowing that when those unforgettable moments arise, they’ll be beautifully preserved forever. When I’m shooting a wedding, my first and foremost goal is to listen. I understand that not everyone wants the same style of wedding, and that big of an occasion is far too important for “One Size Fits All” approach. What I offer is my photo-journalistic style of candid portraiture combined with over a decade of extensive knowledge of post processing and color grading to capture and create a beautiful mood and style that will carry on for a lifetime.

From the moment we first reached out to Stephan Pruitt Photography, their communication was clear, effective and timely. They listened closely to our vision and provided helpful guidance to ensure we captured all the special moments of our wedding day. On the day itself, their calming presence was invaluable in keeping us relaxed and focused amidst the chaos. The resulting photos are nothing short of stunning - the lighting, composition and emotion captured in each image is truly inspiring and magical. Stephan and his team's commitment to quality shines through in the beautiful, vibrant photos that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to have had Stephan Pruitt Photography as our wedding photographers.

Our portraits are stunning, and the little details—the glances, the hugs, the happy chaos—were captured perfectly. What really stood out was the thoughtfulness throughout the entire process.

Lacey is a world-travelled photographer originally from the midwest. This is a woman and Vet owned business. Her strength is primarily about seeing- the composition, the light, the dynamics between the people she is photographing. Portraits have a lean toward that as well, with a push toward the bonds between people. By working to get clients to interact, the images made reflect the connection between individuals as well as the self.

Lacey was so easy to work with and we love the results. We did not have much time to pull together our tiny wedding (we eloped), and we were lucky to find her. She was creative, professional, and just fun to be around. Highly recommend her and her work.

Hey, I’m Kirsten! I’m so excited that you’re here! I’m a plant loving, adventure seeking, coffee loving, dog mom - but my favorite title is photographer. l’ll make beautiful documentary style photos so that you can relive the feelings and memories of your day forever. When you hire me, you’re hiring a photographer who has a bachelors degree in fine art photography, ten years of photography experience as well as thousands of miles of hiking experience.

We had quite the journey with Kirsten, through Helene and a venue change, but we’re so grateful we were able to keep her on as a vendor through out all the craziness! Kirsten took our engagement photos just days before Helene hit. Due to all the rain before Helene, we had to shift locations for safety, but she pivoted us to another lovely location, and waited out some rain with us mid-session to make them happen! Then, we lost our venue in the storm. We experienced a variety of responses from vendors when changes occurred as a result of Helene, and I can say that Kirsten was absolutely the most gracious, when she didn’t have to be. She got our engagement photos to us as soon as she could, even though she had to leave the state due to the storm. Flash forward to our wedding, and as of course our luck would have it, it rained again. But Kirsten handled it like a champ, and helped me feel a lot better as I watched the rain pour down on what I had envisioned to be a beautiful mountain backdrop. She figured out new creative locations to take photos, and wasn’t worried about standing in the rain herself in order to get a good shot of us. Our wedding was delayed some and then took place in a drizzle, and she and her second photographer didn’t blink at being in some rain. Afterwards, when the rain died down and I asked to get some photos outside, she was thrilled and we waded through the wet grass together. I believe it was her second photographer who caught that the most amazing sky showed up after the rain, and they ran us back out to get some incredible photos. Due to the rain delaying things, we asked if she could stay a little longer, and she was happy to do so. Kirsten sent us so many beautiful sneak peeks just days after the wedding. I couldn’t believe we got so many photos so soon. We got our full photos back this week, right on time from her contract. They’re so beautiful. She did an amazing job taking the photos and editing them. My husband and I can be a little insecure about ourselves in photos, but we are both so happy with them. She did a great job telling us what to do when needed, and then blending into the background as well. I felt really comfortable with her, and appreciated her attitude and kindness. I cannot speak highly enough of Kirsten and would recommend her to anyone!

Hi, I’m Julianna, a photographer with a passion for moments that matter most. With over 7 years of professional experience, my style blends the timeless artistry of cinema with the authenticity of photojournalism. I document your day as it unfolds naturally, while my cinematic eye ensures every frame is worthy of a film still. My clients often say that I make them feel comfortable, that I’m more like a friend than a vendor, and that my work captures emotions they didn’t even realize they were feeling.

Julianna was the photographer I was certain I wanted to use even before I was engaged to my now husband. Once engaged, I reached out to her less than a week after the proposal. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and I am so beyond happy with our decision to have had her as our wedding photographer. She is SO talented and creative and does such amazing storytelling in her photography. Having our photos tell the story of our wedding day was so important to us and Julianna did such a perfect job capturing every moment and emotion perfectly and beautifully. You cannot go wrong with booking Julianna for your wedding. Aside from her talented work, she is hands down such a genuine and kind person. She made such a comfortable environment during both our engagement shoot and wedding photos, making sure we were comfortable in all of our photos and at ease. She's so easy to talk to, always understanding, and always has a positive energy. We love her so, so much & we highly recommend her!!

What started as doing a favor by shooting a friend's wedding, became something I wanted to pursue more wholly. So, let's tell your story.

You might be in the early stages of planning your wedding or maybe just looking at local photographers for an elopement or engagement session. And I’m sure you are finding a whole slew of choices and maybe, are a bit overwhelmed with all the different options. So, I want to make this easy and let you know what makes me different from everyone else out there. Basically, it’s my unique photo style, professional experience, and close client relationships. I love capturing organic, spontaneous moments in beautiful backdrops and enjoy working with couples' to create their narrative and highlight their true personality.
