I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.

They were amazing! I got my pictures back in less than a month and I loved them! They also have a video lite option and I ABSOLUTELY recommend it! I had very nice iphone pictures of my wedding less than a week after! We also got a video of the ceremony along with little clips from the day and I was able to make a wedding video with it; it was exactly what I wanted for an unbelievable price! I cannot recommend them enough! My photographer took every single picture I wanted and a ton that I didn't even think about. Choosing wedding vendors is incredibly stressful. I can make choosing a photographer really easy, just go with WFP. They have SO MANY packages that would fit any budget! They also have several different editing styles that you can choose from--which was just another amazing offering that I hadn't thought about until they asked. I cannot recommend this company enough! I had an amazing wedding day and they went above and beyond to make it amazing.

Hey There! I’m Hannah - an Intimate Wedding Photographer originally from the coast of Virginia but stumbled my way to the North Georgia Mountains which I now proudly call home! I love finding new adventures while exploring new places! I started my Photography journey capturing families but soon realized that my heart was completely drawn to capturing love & the bond that two people share! I describe my photography style as more Candid & Story-Telling driven with a soft, nostalgic film influence! I have a strong focus on genuine emotions over stiff posing, capturing the intimate in-between moments that just feel natural and timeless!

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew as soon as I talked to Hannah on the phone to inquire about working with her to photograph our wedding that she was going to be AMAZING. She is so kind and bubbly and I just felt so comfortable trusting her to capture our special day. She clearly lays out how everything will work such as timelines and payments, and she was SO quick to respond whenever we had any questions! We had our engagement shoot and our wedding photos taken by her and both times we were just wowed by her skills!! My husband and I are usually extremely awkward in front of the camera, but Hannah was brilliant at posing us so that we were comfortable and not stiff, and even took really great candid photos! Our wedding day went by in such a blur, it was so hard to really remember each detail of the day because it all went by so fast, but after getting our pictures back, I felt like I was getting married again! Every time I look at our photos I tear up because they are just so precious and I'm so happy that I can look back on these photos for the rest of our lives. I would recommend Hannah to everyone and I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future if we had the chance!!! Thank you Hannah!!! :)

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first got engaged, Haverlee Photography was a no brainer, and she lived up to everything and more. Every picture from our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day is stunning and I have the hardest time picking my favorites. Hands down, best decision on wedding vendors was picking Haverlee. On top of delivering beautiful photos we will cherish forever, Haverlee made everything so fun and easy. My husband said our engagement session was like a date night, and Haverlee had me feel so at ease and beautiful through every step of our wedding day. She is the kindest human who gets the perfect shots of all the small moments, which truly matter to us and feel like us. Haverlee will always be our go to photographer for all the special moments for our family, and you can't go wrong with choosing her to be a part of your special day.

With over 40 five-star Google Reviews, and more than a decade of photography experience documenting adventurous couples and outdoor athletes, I’m stoked and ready to find creative ways to tell the story of your epic day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Andy for my daughter’s mountain wedding (Bella and Kevin Phillips) was hands down the best decision we made. Yes, he’s not cheap — but after seeing the photos and watching how he guided us through the entire day, I honestly feel like he’s worth even more. We were lucky to afford him when we did, because his talent is on a level that won’t stay accessible to normal people for long. Andy has this chill, friendly personality that instantly puts everyone at ease. He knows the area and helped us plan the entire wedding from start to finish. He’s a true artist with an incredible eye for beauty and real, unscripted moments. Nothing staged, nothing forced — just genuine emotion and the kind of shots you can’t recreate even if you tried. Many of the shots he took, especially the veil shots, look like they belong in a magazine. Every single photo feels alive and full of heart. It’s honestly not possible to give him a high enough rating — five stars just isn’t enough.

She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

I’m based in North Georgia, but always happy to travel wherever the love (and the good vibes) take me... I believe wedding photos should be the kind you hold onto forever ..the ones that make you feel something every single time you look at them. If you’re loving my work and feel like we might be the right fit, I’d love to connect! I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can really get to know my couples. You’re not just another booking to me.. I truly care about creating a connection, capturing your story, and hopefully becoming friends along the way (besties if we’re lucky!!

Bohemewinterphotography was absolutely perfect for our surprise engagement photo shoot. From the very beginning, Ivanna coordinated seamlessly with my fiancé to plan and execute the surprise proposal—and she captured the exact moment he asked and I said “yes.” She even flew from Georgia to Florida to be there for us, which speaks volumes about her dedication and professionalism. Her communication was quick, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful, making the entire process stress-free (even with all the secrecy involved!). She went above and beyond by scouting local locations in person to find the perfect backdrop, ensuring every detail was just right. The photos are stunning—professional, creative, and full of emotion. She didn’t just take pictures; she captured a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we will cherish forever. The experience was seamless, joyful, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a photographer who is detail-oriented, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Bohemewinterphotography is the one. We couldn’t be happier.

Evan Taylor Studio was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, their communication style was easygoing, thorough, and clear, which instantly put us at ease despite our camera shyness. Through the whole process of engagement photos, bridal session, and then the wedding day, he made us feel comfortable and confident. His work is stunning - timeless, unique, and perfectly aligned with the style we had envisioned for our day. He captured so many organic, natural moments and emotions that felt authentic to us, and I am so thankful to have these photos to look back on!

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years! I was born and raised in East Tennessee but have lived all over the country. While my primary focus is wedding photography, I am also a biologist, which brought me to this beautiful state. I love expressing my creative side through photography and witnessing the joy it brings to my clients. I specialize in a blend of editorial and documentary-style photography. I aim to capture natural moments as the day unfolds, but I’m also happy to give gentle guidance when needed.

Carson Lillard Photography was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. Their communication was effective, as they planned ahead and worked seamlessly with our videographer. The quality of their work was outstanding - we're always finding a new favorite photo they captured. They even recreated a special photo of my mother from her own wedding, and helped us with creative poses throughout the day. The only thing I wish is that we had more photos of just my husband alone, but overall their service and the final photos exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this talented team!
