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. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

From the very beginning working with Mel was amazing! I was skeptical sifting through all the recommendations I had received but I cannot be more happy with my choice to work with Mel! Him and his wife were nothing short of amazing on our wedding day. He was always available to answer any questions I had and was super open to listening to everything we had to say. We’ve only gotten our sneak peak so far but the photos are amazing and I can’t wait to see the rest! If you’re thinking about booking with Mel, you will not regret it!

Angela is a Destination wedding photographer capturing timeless memories. She loves providing couples with candid images that they can look back on for a lifetime. Her passion is to connect and tell couples’ love stories through the beauty and emotion of the moments captured.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express how amazing Angela was. She has not only a super warm personality. But also an amazing work ethic. I got the package for two photographers and they were both phenomenal. While I was getting ready(we are running about 30 minutes late) she was out taking photos of the venue, the lay flat photos, and the other details pictures. She even held onto our rings for me because the bridal suite was a wreck and I didn’t wanna lose them. All in all my experience with her was a 12/10 experience. She was one of the people who made my wedding less stressful!

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, but at the same time, it goes by in the blink of an eye! That is why I have spent years curating my wedding photography experience to create a space where you can be fully present, while still getting heirloom quality imagery that allows you to relive your day over and over again.

Alyssa was friendly and professional during our entire wedding journey! Her team's approach on our wedding day was equally impressive; they were present for every special moment, but never intrusive or overbearing. We were able to fully enjoy our day without feeling like every moment was choreographed or planned. Alyssa and her team are incredibly talented and produced beautiful, elegant, and vibrant photos that captured the joy and beauty of our wedding! We had plenty of well planned photos combined with some incredibly awesome candid ones. Our photos were delivered several days ahead of the deadline and we were blown away by how stunning they turned out. Alyssa and her team made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and we had a great time working with them. I would highly recommend Alyssa Marie Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Hello & welcome! I’m a film-forward wedding photographer and videographer in Tennessee, capturing real moments and timeless imagery. I blend digital with 35mm film and Kodak Super 8 to create work that feels nostalgic, imperfect, and deeply human. My documentary approach lets the day unfold naturally, preserving the in-between moments that matter most. I’m drawn to experience-focused weddings — intimate gatherings, outdoor celebrations, and days that feel like a meaningful hang with your favorite people.

Hanna captured our elopement and to say she did a perfect job would be an understatement. She was so easy to communicate with and her presence is comfortable and peaceful. Her kindness and love for what she does is apparent as soon as you meet her. I could go on and on; we loved her!! She was the perfect pick for our day and the best decision we made for our elopement, aside from getting married! Her storytelling through our photos and video was spot on, allowing us to relive those emotions and moments, and giving our loved ones a chance to feel and live that day for their first time. It was obviously felt deeply by all. We seriously cannot thank her enough for everything!

Megan Pitts Photography

  • Serves St. James, NC

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

Megan was truly the best photographer we could have possibly chosen for our engagement and wedding. She was so easy to work with both leading up to our big day, and on wedding day itself (shoutout to her for saving the day more than once on wedding day when the weather and my stress got the best of me!). We are absolutely in love with our photos, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Hi, I'm Coby! I am so excited you are here! It is a privilege to be invited to some of the most pivotal and beautiful moments in people's lives. My couples choose me to preserve true, honest memories of their newly forming family tree. They trust me to truly see these connections and document them with professionalism and artistic ability so that they come away with photos that are treasured for the rest of their lives.

I worked with Coby at a fall wedding in Raleigh, and she was a dream photographer for my client. She spent several months before the wedding helping myself and my client prepare for their wedding, which made wedding photography the day of extremely smooth. From the first moment of inquiry to well beyond the final delivery of the wedding gallery, she made the whole wedding planning process a team event.

Hi! I'm Ashley. My business was built on a foundation of love and dedication. I've been photographing weddings for over three years and can say with certainty that weddings are my favorite! I love to get to know my clients and their families, and bring a sense of calmness to their wedding day by using my natural humor.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me tell y’all about this amazing chic! She came in and saved the day! We lost our photographer about 2 weeks before our wedding, we knew it wasn’t the right fit for us. I reached out to Ashley Painter Photography and she made time in her busy schedule ( while finishing grad school, being a mom, wife, and running a business!) to travel 2 hours each way to capture our day. Not to mention working hand in hand with our DJ on a timeline of events to make sure she was in the right spot at the right time to capture the best shots! Our contract said allow 16 weeks for full gallery, she said “ girl, don’t you worry, I won’t make you wait that long” and here we are, 3 weeks later and completely surprised, she delivered a full gallery of the most amazing moments of our day. If you’re ever in the Charleston, South Carolina area and need some pictures done remember to call the best! It’s so much more than just snapping pictures

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

Ali Nicole Photos

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves St. James, NC

I'm Ali, a wedding photographer based in North Carolina with over 10 years of experience capturing the unique stories of wonderful couples. Finding a photographer whose work you truly love is essential, but it's equally important to choose someone who will bring out your best and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I strive to do just that and would love the opportunity to be part of your special day!

From our first call, I knew Ali was the photographer we needed (seriously think we booked within 24 hours). We immediately felt comfortable with her as if we were talking to a friend and, as two people who tend to be awkward in front of a camera, this went a long way. During our engagement shoot, she helped find poses that worked naturally, made us laugh during the cheesy shots that turned into our favorite pictures, and brought my Pinterest dreams to life (we had the same pics pinned so it was meant to be). Not to mention she was even sweeter in person. On our wedding day Ali jumped straight into it seamlessly. She’s easy to be around and brings a calming presence no matter what’s going on around her (calling her the calm in the storm would be an understatement). She captured every moment perfectly and had our best interest at her forefront the entire day. She even found excuses to give me a pause if she noticed I was getting nervous or seemed overwhelmed (I never told her I noticed she did that for me but it was so appreciated). After the ceremony, she knew exactly how to wrangle in our families and wedding party, and somehow managed to capture the best photos in record-breaking time. This is getting long so I’ll wrap it up, but if you’re anything like me and you’re indecisive or worried about making the right vendor choices, trust that you won’t regret this one. I could go on and on but, long story short, we’ll be forever grateful we chose Ali!!

We believe your wedding photos should feel as iconic as the day itself — timeless, luminous, and completely you. As a mother-daughter team with 15+ years of experience, we've documented hundreds of beautiful weddings from the breathtaking West Coast to the historic charm of the East. We bring two generations of artistry, intuition, and heart to every celebration. Our couples love beautiful light, intimate moments, and weddings that feel unmistakably like them. If that sounds like you, we'd love to be part of your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Laura and Rachel absolutely blew us away in every single way. From the very beginning, the two of them made us feel more like their family than simply clients who were paying them for a service. It took us less than 24 hours after our first meeting with them to know they were who we wanted on our wedding day, and I am SO glad we did. They made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and more than that, they made it FUN. We felt special and joyful and so full of love the entire time we worked with them. They made our day flow flawlessly, keeping us on track while still letting us ENJOY the day. They just went above and beyond in every way - whether it be getting down on their knees to help me switch into my reception shoes or running around cocktail hour to find the friend who was in charge of bustling my dress, they did so much more than just take our photos. But those photos… let me tell you, when I first saw our sneak previews, I full on cried. And the full gallery, OH MAN. I don’t know how they managed to perfectly capture every emotion we felt that day while still making us look amazing (my husband and I were definitely ugly crying for a good portion of our first look couples portraits!), but I can’t even put into words what it felt like to look at those photos for the first time. Simply put - we’re obsessed with these two. Laura and Rachel have our business for LIFE. I’m already trying to plan a ten year vow renewal just so we can share the day with them again! (Kidding, but not really ;) ). Take it from me - hiring these two will be the easiest and best decision you will make during your wedding planning process. We love you, Laura and Rachel!!!

Are you looking for a photographer that feels more like a friend? One that makes you comfortable when posing and documents natural laughs? Oh hey! You found me! What is my style? I'm a candid and VIBRANT photographer. How would my friends describe me? Bubbly, loyal, and hilarious. Okay, maybe they don't tell me I'm hilarious but I laugh at my own jokes.

Strongly recommend working with Kaitlyn for your wedding photos-- we are so pleased with how the photos from our wedding turned out. I don't know how, but Kaitlyn captured just about every moment to a "t". Even reviewing our photos, we caught so many moments we missed the day of. So grateful we had such a professional and well-equipped photog in our corner on our special day-- it allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves, and I'm *SO* glad we put our faith in her. One note-- when working with Kaitlyn, she'll ask you to fill out a survey before your event. I'm so glad she did, because it got us thinking about what our priorities were before our wedding day, and every single photo we could've wanted or asked for is there! She even managed to corral our very camera-shy dog.

We are Summer and Stephen teammates and life mates. After years of being a husband & wife team our lives turned to destination weddings and take us away from Greenville quite a bit. We brought in our partner photographers Christina & Alejandro and Angela & Zack to create one of the top photography studios in the South East.

From our first interaction, Summer and Stephen were quick, clear, and responsive in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The work that the team at Noveli creates is truly timeless and professional, with a quick turnaround on our beautiful photos. On the day of our wedding, Alejandro and Christina were personable, creative, and worked wonderfully together to capture all the details. We love Noveli and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, dedicated wedding photographers!
