Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit four times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs and horse, or exploring the world around me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith is a phenomenal photographer! I have had the pleasure of working with her on several occasions, all at different venues. She is very well rounded and works extremely well with adults and children. Faith has a soft and kind demeanor, all while producing strong and fierce photos. Aside from her photography, she is wonderful at planning and scheduling. Faith is well organized, giving the customer/family a stress free photoshoot. I highly recommend Faith M. Photography, and will continue to book her time and time again!

I’m Morgan — the face behind Morgan Foth Photography! My husband, Justin, and I are a photo + video duo based in York, SC, capturing unique love stories across the Carolinas. We’re down-to-earth, a little goofy, and love helping couples who “aren’t photo people” feel confident and comfortable in front of the lens. If being in front of a camera feels awkward, don’t worry — that’s my specialty. I’ll crack jokes, play third wheel, and make you forget the camera’s even there. When you book both photo and video, you get our full dream team to capture your day from every angle — all the laughs, tears, and dance floor chaos included.

Morgan was one of the best choices we made during the entire wedding planning process. She was clear, communicative and super professional, and that doesn't even touch her artistic skill!!! I had so much faith in her from the moment we got our engagement photos back and then the wedding was just as great. 10/10 best photographer and the only one I recommend to friends who are getting married.

If you’re looking for someone to just snap photos, we’re probably not your team. (we also do video) We are Kiara and Austin, wife and husband, photo and video, and parents to three sweet boys: Benjamin, Malachi and Solomon. Family is everything to us, and that love is woven into how we capture yours. We got married under a ginkgo tree, a symbol of unity and the beginning of our story, and now we’re here to honor yours. This is your one and only day. We want you to feel seen, celebrated, and truly comfortable from our first conversation to the final gallery. Matthew 19:5

Awarded Best of Zola
I was always told that one of the most important decisions for your wedding is choosing an amazing photographer, and that is exactly what Kiara gave me with Two Become One Photography. From our very first phone call to see if we’d be a good fit, she was so easy to talk to and truly understood my vision. I didn’t even realize she was out of state because the connection felt so natural. I loved that call so much that I knew immediately I wanted to book her and her husband.   Throughout the entire process, Kiara was incredibly responsive, kind, and supportive. On our wedding day, she made me feel completely comfortable, and did the same for our entire wedding party. Kiara captured the most beautiful photos, and her husband created an absolutely amazing ceremony video that perfectly captured the emotion and special moments of the day.   I loved my wedding day so much that I was genuinely sad when it was over… but then I got a text from Kiara with the link to our ceremony video and photos. I was beyond excited to relive it all and definitely teared up seeing how beautifully everything was captured. The photos are absolutely gorgeous.   They are such a wonderful team, and I cannot recommend Two Become One Photography enough!

In Bloom Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Stanley, NC

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Awarded Best of Zola
Christan is such a fantastic photographer! She knows exactly how to make your session feel relaxed, natural, and more like capturing pictures in the moment with your significant other rather than feeling like you are constantly aware of the camera. What’s so amazing is that she will guide you on posing and then just let you have your moment afterwards. This helps prevent any awkwardness of “what do I do with my hands?!”. That being said, she does also take more “formal” shots during the session so you really are getting the best of both worlds! I highly, highly recommend In Bloom Photography if you are looking for a documentary style wedding photographer!

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Charlotte based wedding photographer. I’m all about candid moments, raw moments and real love. Capturing unique love stories and creating a timeless gallery for my people to look back on is what I strive to do. Art is subjective, which is why I love directing my couples in a way that will reflect their love in its realest form while still giving them room to be themselves.

We absolutely loved working with Ashley! She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, and from start to finish she was so kind, gracious, and easy to work with. Her style is absolutely stunning — every image feels timeless and full of life. We had a non-traditional wedding and I was a bit worried about how the timeline and flow would be captured, but Ashley absolutely crushed it. She made us feel comfortable, kept everything organized, and delivered beautiful photos that perfectly reflect our day. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both talented and wonderful to work with, I can’t recommend Ashley enough!

My name is Dan, and I created this business because I believe marriage is an incredibly beautiful and miraculous thing. Your wedding is important, yes, but it's the marriage that lasts (well, that and your wedding photos). This is what I try to capture through my photography - your mutual love and respect, your quiet confidence in one another, and the enduring nature of your commitment. I want your photos to be a reminder to you through the years of how much you loved one another at the beginning, and how much more you've grown in your love.

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. Dan has an incredible ability to capture the emotional and intimate moments while never disrupting what was naturally unfolding. Nothing ever felt staged or interrupted, but he was able to still capture intentional and high quality photos. You can tell Dan understands the weight of each moment. He isn't just taking pictures, he is capturing a memory and the feeling of the moment, and that is absolutely priceless. While we were driving back to our Air Bnb after the wedding ceremony, we saw an adorable chapel on the side of the road near the beach. I made a comment about how adorable I thought it was--and Dan suggested that we stop and spontaneously take photos in front of the chapel. These turned out to be some of our favorites that he captured. Dan is fun, professional, reliable and we FULL-HEARTEDLY would recommend him to anyone wanting the most important day of your life preserved with photos!

Hi there! I'm Jackie, and this is my husband & business partner, Cory. Many photographer's "about me" section will tell you how they've known they wanted to be a photographer since they were a child. Not mine. I didn't know that's what I wanted until I actually started taking pictures and realized that photography was the creative outlet I had been missing my entire life. Not only am I so incredibly blessed to have this amazing, life-giving business; I'm even more blessed to get to share it with my husband.

We have done 2 sessions with Jacqueline so far and both have come out beautiful! She is so sweet and easy to work with. It’s like having a friend you know take your picture.

Hi! We're Michaella & Megan, the sister team behind Smile As You Mae Photography. We have the honor of documenting love stories and preserving the moments that become lifelong memories. With over 10 years of experience and more than 350 weddings captured, we've learned that the best images happen when you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present. Michaella is our lead photographer, and Megan is our lead videographer and second photographer. As sisters, we work seamlessly together to capture every meaningful moment while creating a fun, relaxed experience for our couples.

Smile as You Mae was phenomenal to work with! From my first inquiry to the wedding day, Michaella and Megan were a joy and instantly made me feel comfortable. I had a lot of questions and they took the time to talk through everything with me ahead of time. We stuck to the schedule we created together and were able to get everything my husband and I wanted from the shot list, and took pictures that would fit everyones tastes (details, close-up shots, formal, fun long exposure during the reception, everything you could ask for)! They were professional and got amazing photos, but many guests stated that they didn’t even know they were there throughout the reception, which is how well they were able to blend in with the group while still catching all of our moments. I can not recommend Smile as You Mae enough! I have consistently had people state that these photos look like they belong in a magazine, so if thats the quality you want (which you know you do), don’t hesitate to book them!

Their work is truly phenomenal - the photos they captured of our wedding day are absolutely beautiful and high-quality. The photographer was so thoughtful, kind, and sweet, and really went above and beyond to make sure we got all the photos we wanted, even shooing people out of the way so we could get the perfect shots in front of the barn. She also did a great job of keeping everyone on track and making sure our wedding party and guests knew exactly what to do with their hands. We would give Little Rose Photography a 10/10 rating and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.
