My husband and I used Naomi Culley Photography to capture our Maternity Pictures. The whole experience was incredible. Naomi is extremely easy to work with and makes everyone (even the camera shy/awkward) feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She has an exquisite perception of lighting, angles, and poses for both candid and artful pictures. We were thrilled with our photos and will cherish them forever. Highly recommend her for all your photography needs! We can’t wait to get more photos done by her of our new little family of three!

Hello, I am a hybrid (analog & digital) wedding photographer based in Eastern North Carolina, and I enjoy traveling regularly across the state, throughout the country, and internationally. My ethos is to be an unobtrusive observer, documenting the genuine, unscripted moments of your day as they naturally unfold. I believe the most beautiful photographs aren't the ones that are posed, but the quiet, fleeting glances and heartfelt laughter shared between you and your loved ones. Hope to connect soon!

We loved working with Allie Miller Photography for our wedding! Allie was so attentive, caring and compassionate throughout the planning process and on our big day. She has a great energy about her - funny and outgoing - that put us at ease. Allie did a beautiful job capturing the feel of our wedding through her photography. She used the venue's gorgeous natural light to enhance our portraits, which turned out wonderfully. We have a great variety of natural, posed and artistic shots that showcase Allie's good eye for detail. She was able to beautifully capture us, our families and the venue in her signature warm, bright style. The final edited photos are just what we hoped for to remember our special day. We'd highly recommend Allie Miller Photography to other couples looking for an attentive, talented wedding photographer who will capture the spirit of your wedding with beauty and care.

  • Serves Southern Shores, NC

Born and raised on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, I’ve been capturing love stories for over 18 years. Married to my high school sweetheart and raising our two boys on this little sandbar we call home, I’m inspired by family, connection, and the coast. I create images that feel modern yet timeless - blending classic elegance with natural, editorial moments. OBX based, serving couples on the Outer Banks and beyond, with winters spent in Costa Rica. Let’s tell your story.

If you need a photographer, Courtney Hathaway is the one to hire! Fun, caring and talented are just a few words to begin with. My husband and I are both camera shy and from day 1 of shooting our engagement, Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.

Meredith was amazing at my wedding. She has an intuitive way to get the best pictures of you and your loved ones. She is also accommodating to what you want and what you need. Her positive and warm attitude allowed me to feel comfortable and it shows in my pictures. I think her background in surfing photography allows her to capture the best moments quickly, and she knows lighting well too! Her ability to capture tiny moments into a warm and loving photo make her extremely valuable any wedding team. My wedding was captured beautifully . I would highly recommend Meredith! :)

  • Serves Southern Shores, NC

When I started wedding photography 15 years ago, I wanted to create stunning pictures that showed off my technical skills. Those skills are helpful, but they are no longer the focus of my attention. You are. Now, my goal is to make sure you have the best wedding possible, and that you remember as many moments and details as possible. You may think you'll remember it all, but life moves on and you'll forget more than you expect. I'm here to remind you what your wedding day was like, how much you love your family and friends, and why you got married. I'm excited to help you have a wonderful wedding full of beautifully captured moments.

Ellen has been one of our area's top photographers for more than 15 years. She is knowledgeable about weddings and but also someone who is comfortable to be around. She is capable of handling any situation and directing when needed, but also relaxed, funny, and caring about her clients' feelings and experience. She's the best of both worlds and will take great care of you on your wedding day.

I created my signature style by blending lifestyle photography and fine art image retouching. Being a desperate romantic, I devote a huge part of my photography journey to the wedding and engegment photography. My goal is to create your family heirlooms, the images that you will cherish forever!

Maria is an incredibly talented photographer. We used her for our engagement photos and wedding, and have received so many compliments. Her style is bold and classic. She is great with angles and captures both posed and candid shots. Unfortunately we had rain on our wedding day, but Maria had a nice clear umbrella handy and we were able to still get photos of us during the rain. They are some of my favorites of our album. She dealt with my husband (who doesn’t like getting photos done) and multiple guest requests with ease and delivered our sneak peeks in just 2 days.

We were so pleased with OLAS and glad we hired them for our wedding. By far one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They were prepared, communicative, and always available for questions. We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding.

Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding! Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber. We thank God for him and will cherish these memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Lacie was the absolute kindest, most sincere and down-to-earth photographer I've ever met! She was thorough with all of her questions, and made sure that we were all on the same understanding of how her process worked. During our engagement photos, she made us feel comfortable, and we could be our goofy selves, which made the photos feel so much more real, rather than posed. She is a natural and would make anyone feel beautiful/handsome! Our wedding photos still make me tear up! They are so beautiful, and she and her sister did the most amazing job! I can't believe how amazing she was with giving us time, and making sure that we got all the photos we had wanted and then some. We were so incredibly lucky to have her as our photographer and will be using her again in the future 3

I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

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.

Carson Lillard Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our wedding day. Their communication style was thorough, responsive, and detailed, which put us at ease leading up to the big day. The quality of their work and dedication to our special occasion was truly exceptional. When an unexpected rainstorm threatened to put a damper on our outdoor ceremony, Carson quickly adapted, using the clear umbrellas my matron of honor surprised us with to get the sweetest, most creative photos that captured all the special moments. Even without perfect natural lighting or the ideal “golden hour”, our pictures came out absolutely phenomenal. Carson was patient and direct in wrangling our large family for group photos, and the end results were stunning. I couldn't be happier with the service and value Carson Lillard Photography provided, and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

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.

Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly can’t say enough good things about Alli and Josh. From the very first time we worked with her, she made us feel completely comfortable—nothing felt awkward or overly posed, just natural and easy. That alone makes such a difference. Her style is incredible and strikes the perfect balance between guided and organic. You end up with photos that feel elevated and intentional while still feeling like you. She also delivers the full gallery, which I love—you get all the candid, behind-the-scenes moments along with the big, beautiful shots, and those in-between photos end up being some of our favorites. Beyond the photos themselves, they’re just amazing to work with—fun, easygoing, and people you genuinely want around during such important moments. We absolutely love our photos, trust them completely, and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Enamored Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication was amazing - they were always easy to reach and provided us with detailed information throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was equally impressive, with beautiful, detailed photos that perfectly captured the special moments of our day. Enamored Photography was also incredibly organized and professional, making the photography aspect of our wedding seamless and stress-free. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Our goal for wedding photos was to be transported back to our wedding day - more of a storytelling style than formal portraits. Felisha totally nailed it, and somehow managed to capture some extra magic in there too. Leading up to the wedding, Felisha was great at helping us feel comfortable with her, and we’re usually camera shy! We felt like we made a new friend! We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!
