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!

I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

Hello, I'm Kelly! Balsam Portraits and Weddings began in 2020, inspired by my deep love for storytelling and the mountains I’ve always called home. Raised in Hendersonville, NC, I cherish capturing intimate weddings where personalities shine, emotions flow, and every day is uniquely its own. I focus on the real, in-between moments—the quiet glances, the laughter, and the details that matter most. My goal is to document your wedding with honesty and artistry, creating memories that feel as real decades from now as they do today.

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

We are a photography team from Charlotte NC that is focused on you and your experience. We would love to have the chance to serve you in any way possible, from an intimate elopement to a full Wedding and Engagement Package.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

I am a North Carolina photographer... & yes I am willing to travel for your next session! I am a wife, mother of 2, and a proud Pitbull Mom.

Paige has had her hand in photography since the age of 16, taking many photography composition classes. Her passion to build these relationships with her client is to get them comfortable in front of the lens. She is a diverse photographer that loves both the serene country back roads and the hustle and bustle of the city. She believes that every love story is unique and should be treated as such, from capturing the details of the invitation, rings, first look & then all the way through to the toast at the reception and first dances.

Photography has always been a part of my life in some shape or form. As a young girl, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a photographer. I wasn't sure what kind I would be or how I would get there, but here I am as a wedding and elopement photographer. I value serving my couples first, and creating stunning images second. Capturing your unique love story is so important to me. In every session, I want you guys to fall in love all over again. My goal that you leave your session with a smile on your face and a heart overflowing with joy. It is always a pleasure to serve couples in love!

Hey there, I'm Celeste – wife, mom, goat farmer, & your go-to elopement & wedding photographer! When I'm not chasing goats or herding kids (the human kind), you'll find me exploring the great outdoors – hiking, floating in lakes, road-trippin' like there's no tomorrow. Originally from Vermont, I've been around the block (and across the country), but nothing beats the magic of the Smoky Mountains. I'm living the dream in TN, capturing love stories all over WNC and East TN. Photography isn't just a job for me; it's my heart and soul. A Pisces by nature, I'm all about creative storytelling. I'm here to make your love story epic.

Before I could walk, talk, or even hold a camera, I was busy growing up in the family wedding business. As long as I can remember, I spent my weekends at weddings. While other kids were watching Saturday morning cartoons, I was breaking child-labor laws helping my family with catering and setting up tables and chairs. (If you are a federal agent investigating child labor infractions, that was just a joke). My lovely wife, Juliah, and our baby boy, Henry, have two Boykin Spaniel pups with a ton of energy and a passion for belly rubs.
