Manai Ford Photography

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Stanley, NC

I have been a photographer since 2017 and have shot over 200 weddings to date. If you’re looking to add an ally to your wedding team you are in the right place! We will provide consultation to avoid the common wedding day hiccups. Whether it’s running behind schedule or securing the best available locations for your photos. Have you ever modeled before? Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

Not sure where to start.  Manai totally took us by surprise.  We knew we wanted something a little different but weren’t sure what exactly.  Personally, I hate taking photos, but he kept us engaged with conversation and simple directions, and things flowed naturally.  His sense of humor was a pleasant surprise.   My fiancé really wanted a good pic with our dog, and Manai totally blew us away.  So creative!!  Highly recommended!!!!

A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Florida, and now I am back in North Carolina. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging at home with my two Aussies (because, let’s be honest, they run my household). Dogs are my world, which is why I’m always equipped with at least two lint rollers during every shoot (I’ve pretty much achieved Master Lint Roller status by now). Every moment is special and worth capturing, and my job is to help tell your story in a way that honors your love and feelings for one another.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made during our wedding was to work with Blythe, she was one of the first vendors we hired and came as a recommendation from a friend. When she arrived to my bridal suite, I immediately felt a sense of calm, and trust that she would help capture our day as we had pictured. She truly went above and beyond on our wedding day, she wasn't just our photographer, but my dress bustle expert, veil placer, hairpin carrier, bouquet carrier, dress and veil fluffer, she even grabbed a napkin and took my husband's gum out of his mouth. She communicated on the day of with my other vendors immediately, whenever I saw that something was missing or out of place. Truly our wedding day would have not run as smoothly without her. When I needed her she was right there in seconds, and during other portions of the wedding, I hardly even noticed she was there snapping photos so we truly got to enjoy our day without being constantly pulled for posed photos. All of our family members and friends kept commenting to us how incredible she was without ever even seeing any of the photos. She truly was the biggest gift to have on one of the biggest days of our lives. We only wish we could work with her again and again. From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU SO MUCH Blythe, we loved working with you and can't wait to work with you again in the future. If you are at all considering working with her please please HIRE HER!

Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Stanley, NC

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truly could not say enough great things about Haverlee and her immense talent! From our first inquiry email to delivering our final wedding gallery (early I should add), she was so kind, supportive and on the ball. Outside of capturing amazing moments during our engagement session and wedding day, one of the things we really appreciated was her willingness to help create our day of timeline. As a DIY bride, having someone who has done this countless times help us plan every minute of our day helped so so much and put our minds at ease. And let me tell you, day of, you won’t find someone else more prepared than Haverlee. She was there to help with make-up issues, fly away hairs, dress bustling, and even hand picking leaves and bugs out of the skirt of my dress to make sure our photos were perfect. Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience, highly recommend entrusting Haverlee to work her magic to allow you to remember the day perfectly thru her lens.

Getting married in 2020 was not an easy thing to do, so many of our family and friends weren’t able to attend so it was really important to us that we had a photographer that could capture our day in a way that showed our emotions through the pictures.

Stephanie Small Photography

I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up being in front of a camera doing pageants and modeling. I know what it is like to have no direction at a photoshoot and leave disappointed. I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding venue owner we see many photographers here. Stephanie Small is one of our favorites. She captures the beautiful scenery along with the love each couple shares. One of the most important elements you want to consider when selecting a photographer is can she or he do a fabulous job quickly so you don’t miss out on your reception. We are always impressed that Stephanie and her assistants work so efficiently and produce amazing photos. She also has a well organized gallery of photos for the bride & groom. We highly recommend Stephanie Small photography for your wedding!

Adrian Etheridge Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Stanley, NC

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Kelsey and Britt were incredible photographers for my wedding! They came with such great energy and seemed so excited to get started running around and taking photos! They were so comfortable to be around and made the photos go so quickly and easily. Kelsey even edited a few photos AT THE RECEPTION when no one was looking and made sure my sneak peeks were sent to me before the wedding was even over! Britt also saved me several times when my jewelry got tangled and my nails made me useless trying to detangle them. Absolutely wonderful team and would 10/10 hire again!

*PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE TO SUBMIT A CONTACT FORM AT WWW.CANDYNOGALES.COM.* MY WEBSITE IS UNDER MY PHOTO ON MY ZOLA PAGE. Hi, I'm Candy! I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

I pour my heart into every photo I take, blending a classic style with a unique touch. People inspire the stories I tell, and to truly understand a story, you need to know the people behind it. Each person brings a fresh perspective on love and life. Without the wonderful individuals in front of my lens, my photos lose their meaning and authenticity. I’m here to not just capture your story, but to tell it beautifully. That’s why I love photography.

Jordan has always been so easy to work with! She makes you feel at ease right off the bat, has prompts and ideas ready to go for every comfort level, and gave really clear direction for me and my husband. We’re pretty much down for anything, and Jordan had some fun and different things for us to try as well that had great results! We had a blast, got amazing photos out of it, and would absolutely shoot with Jordan again!
