Lott Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Valdese, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,750

I am Naiomi Lott, the owner, photographer and editor of Lott Photography. I am an artist at heart, I love design, style and nature. But honestly, I can vibe with and appreciate all types of personalities and styles (that's the artist in me). I am a very bubbly, patient, kindhearted individual with so much respect of others feeling and ideals. But best of all I am a mother of 3 wonderful children (a pair of twin 6yos & 11yo) and a most loving wife. And I want to capture stunning wedding day photos I was never able to have with my rock of a husband, for you and your fiancé.

I hired Lott photography when Naiomi first began her business and quickly became one of her biggest fans. Her attention to detail on all of my photo shoots is beyond anything I’ve seen before. She has a natural talent and is so easy to work with. From boudoir to family photos she has captured some of the most amazing moments for my husband and I. You absolutely should to hire her for your boudoir, engagement, wedding and reception photos.

Now And Forever Photography 
Rating: 4.7 (13 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $875
  • Serves Valdese, NC

Our work involves a lot of interaction between you and your partner: the way you smile, hug, laugh and goof off together. We use natural light to create artistically genuine moments. Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor. We're not someone who simply ‘gets the job done’— We're with you every single step of the way, from the first time we talk until your images are delivered.

Now And Forever Photography was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Alicia, the lead photographer, was easy to communicate with, messaging and calling to finalize all the details for both our engagement session and wedding day. Her eye for detail, use of natural lighting, and creative approach really brought to life the ideas I had envisioned. When we hit a hiccup with the engagement session location closing early, Alicia was extremely understanding and helped us seamlessly reroute to capture beautiful photos. I highly recommend Now And Forever Photography and will definitely keep them in mind for any future photography needs.

Erin Lluvia Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,350
  • Serves Valdese, NC

At Erin Lluvia James Photography, I blend timeless elegance with authentic storytelling. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in capturing precious moments with a mix of candids and softly posed shots. Whether it's a destination wedding or a celebration in the Carolinas, Tennessee, or Georgia, I aim to create an easygoing experience where couples feel like they're with an old friend. My approach is rooted in photojournalism, ensuring every emotion, detail, and memory is preserved beautifully. Let me help tell your love story in a way that's as unique and extraordinary as you are.

Working with Erin for our wedding was honestly a breeze. Right from our first conversation, she made everything feel simple. She answered every question I had without rushing me, and she was flexible with the payment plan, which was a huge help during the chaos of wedding prep. The day of the wedding, she showed up ready for anything — boots on, climbing up the mountain on our property, hopping over rocks, and getting right into the thick of it to capture the views behind us. She never hesitated once. She’s just one of those people who’s grounded, easygoing, and really easy to connect with. When we got our gallery, we were blown away. Not only were the photos beautiful, but she delivered more edited images than what was originally included. That little extra effort meant a lot. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s flexible, down-to-earth, and willing to go the distance (literally), Erin is your girl. We’re so glad we chose her.

Morgan Long Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Serves Valdese, NC

I'm Morgan! I am a photographer who has a passion for capturing timeless love stories and those precious, candid moments you'll never want to forget. I'm down to hike mountains with you, capture your snow day, and everything in-between. I'm your hype girl on your wedding day, a photographer you can trust, and hopefully your friend! My primary focus is documenting couples and love stories, including elopements and weddings no matter how big or small. My favorite part of a wedding day is the moments after the ceremony when the bride and groom walk out as husband and wife, having a few short moments to themselves before welcoming everyone.

Working with Morgan Long was such a fun and comfortable experience. Sometimes getting your photo taken can feel intimidating, but Morgan has the best ideas and visions to capture beautiful, authentic moments. From our engagement session to our wedding day, I was blown away by the magic Morgan was able to capture. The photos are natural and effortless and you can feel the love radiating through them. Morgan is an absolute delight to work with. She is organized and direct, so on our wedding day we were efficiently able to take all the photos we wanted while still enjoying the party! Thanks to Morgan, we will look back at the best day of our lives through her beautiful photography.

Hi, I'm Devin, the photographer behind Crafted Nuance Photography. Based in the Hickory, North Carolina area, I serve couples throughout Western North Carolina, Charlotte, Lake Norman, the High Country, and beyond. My work combines documentary storytelling with a fine art perspective. I believe every couple deserves to have their story documented with care, respect, and intention. In addition to photographing weddings, my fine art work has been exhibited in galleries, shaping the artistic approach I bring to every celebration I'm honored to document.

I’ve had the pleasure of working directly with Devin on both of our Roper Romp events, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. As the event organizer, I had a lot going on, so it was a huge relief knowing I never had to worry about the photography. Devin has a great eye for capturing candid moments, the atmosphere of an event, and all of the little details that make each occasion memorable. I’ve also seen his work photographing a friend’s wedding, as well as food and products for local businesses, and his talent really shines no matter the subject. He has a knack for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera and consistently delivers high-quality photos. If you’re looking for a photographer in Newton, Hickory, Conover, or anywhere nearby, Devin is an easy recommendation. He’s talented, dependable, and genuinely great to work with. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda is by far the best photographer I’ve worked with. She and her co shooter Renee are so personable and will put endless effort into making your day perfect. My videographer was late for my first look/ vows. Amanda didn’t hesitate to make sure she got photos, but also recorded it so we’d still be able to have footage. The whole day she went above and beyond to make sure we were getting all the photos we wanted, making sure the groom and I were eating and comfortable, she even jumped on the dance floor to get people dancing and keep the energy high! She got preview photos to me 3 days after the wedding. The preview was huge and amazing. If Amanda is available on your wedding day book her ASAP!!

Mazzucco Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Valdese, NC

I'm a creative minded, outgoing and silly girl. I'll join you on the dance floor during your wedding reception, but you can also find me crying behind my camera lens as you say your I Do's. I'm a photographer who just loves love. I graduated from Western Carolina University with my Bachelors in Science in Communications, focused in Public Relations and minoring in Marketing. My boyfriend and I, Dylan, met while we were both students at Western Carolina and he's been one of the reasons why I finally took the leap to become my own boss -- in a pandemic, nonetheless!

Mazzucco Photography was a true blessing to work with at this wedding. Her communication was quick and responsive, which was especially helpful when a previous photographer had to cancel last minute. The quality of their work was fantastic, with an incredible attention to detail and capturing the genuine emotions of day. Mary was wonderful to collaborate with, adapting seamlessly to the changes and challenges we faced (thanks, COVID!). To top it off, she even texted to ask if we wanted coffee on her way to the venue - it was her birthday, but she was thinking of us! Mazzucco Photography's beautiful, artistic photography is a true gift, and anyone would be lucky to have them capture their wedding day.

I’m Ashley Young, a wedding and engagement photographer based in Hickory, North Carolina. I create refined, timeless imagery by blending candid moments with gently guided and thoughtfully posed portraits. From intentional pre-wedding planning and timeline support to delivery of your final gallery, I offer a seamless, elevated experience designed for the classic bride who values genuine emotion and beautiful detail. My goal is to capture your day with artistry and heart, preserving moments that feel as meaningful as they are enduring. Serving couples throughout Charlotte, Asheville, Boone, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Rock Hill, and Greenville.

Highly recommend Ashley Young Photography for any important event where you need a professional photographer. I hired her for my wedding day and have absolutely no regrets. She schedules an initial check-in meeting about 3 months out from the wedding and then a final check-in a couple weeks before the wedding. Ashley was so calm and on point all day for my wedding. She corrected us when we needed to reposition in photos and helped fluff my veil and dress to get the absolute best shots. If I needed a tissue, to dab my eyes or nose, she had it. She helped with my fashion tape for my wedding dress straps to stay in place and rebustle my dress all evening because it did not want to stay bustled. Ashley is an all around fabulous person and photographer. Her photos are breathtakingly beautiful. I would utilize her again for any future professional photo shoots.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

The energy from the ceremony stayed with me long after it ended. The bride’s laughter, the groom’s nervous smile, the soft music all combined to create a moment I’ll never forget. Their vows were heartfelt, with moments that made everyone cry and laugh at the same time. The reception was full of warmth and celebration. Dancing, stories, and tears of joy intertwined perfectly. You could feel the love in every corner of the room. The first dance was breathtaking, and I swear you could see the future happiness in their eyes. I left that night with a renewed faith in true love.

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 absolute pleasure to work with throughout our wedding day. Their communication style was thorough, responsive, and detailed, which put us at ease leading up to the big day. The quality of their work and dedication to our special occasion was truly exceptional. When an unexpected rainstorm threatened to put a damper on our outdoor ceremony, Carson quickly adapted, using the clear umbrellas my matron of honor surprised us with to get the sweetest, most creative photos that captured all the special moments. Even without perfect natural lighting or the ideal “golden hour”, our pictures came out absolutely phenomenal. Carson was patient and direct in wrangling our large family for group photos, and the end results were stunning. I couldn't be happier with the service and value Carson Lillard Photography provided, and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
