Hi, my name is Malia! I am a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I specialize in Weddings, families and newborns. I have always been passionate about photography and I started when I was young with a little camera my mom got me from a thrift store and just grown from there. Since then, I have worked with other photographers and my mother who owns a wedding rental company so I know my way around weddings. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me exploring with my little family!

Malia Lynn Photo was an amazing choice for our engagement photography! From the very first interaction, their communication was easy, friendly, and understandable, which put us at ease right away. The quality of their work was truly fantastic - the photos are beautiful and elegant, capturing all the special moments of our day perfectly. Malia was so positive and gave us great guidance on posing, ensuring we were 100% comfortable. She is honestly so sweet and awesome, and did a beautiful job at capturing our precious memories. Malia made sure we felt relaxed and confident throughout the process, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a polite, friendly, and talented wedding photographer!

At Untethered Times Photography, I believe your wedding day is more than a celebration—it’s the start of your forever. I specialize in capturing love stories through timeless, natural photography. From the big “I do” moments to the smallest details—the tearful glances, stolen kisses, and joyful laughter—I aim to preserve every chapter of your day so you can relive it for a lifetime.

Untethered Times has been absolutely amazing to work with for my family photos. My son is not a fan of sitting still at all and is difficult to get him to cooperate in general. Emily was fantastic at distracting him and was so creative in doing so! She was very flexible when we had meltdowns, and the photo quality is outstanding that you would never know he was crying just minutes before! She was very personable and made us all feel relaxed. I will only ever use Untethered Times for all my photography needs and recommend everyone to use her.

Awarded Best of Zola
What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James

Samantha Lee Photography

  • Serves Valdese, NC for additional fees

Hi I'm Sam! Congratulations on your engagement! What an exciting chapter in your life! When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me bossing my husband around and trying to keep up with my 3 wild children Kate, Jack and Luke. ​I am a natural light, true to color, documentary style wedding & portrait photographer, bringing a playful and authentic vibe to every session. I live for those candid, unscripted moments. When couples choose me to capture their big day, it’s a true honor—because once the celebration is over, the only thing left to relive those memories are your photos. Happy Planning ;)

My husband and I got engaged in 2023 and had planned for our wedding to be in July of 2025. For two years one of our biggest challenges was finding a photographer that was in our budget, that would still provide us with the perfect product we had invisioned in our minds. We had searched high and low finding MANY photographers that will say they can adjust their packages to fit our budget, and still somehow come up with a total of 4000 dollars. Then we found Sam. I was hesitant at first because I wanted a specific style I hadn’t seen in her galleries, a more sultry- whimsical- cinematic/ dramatic candid feel. However when I brought that up to Sam she had reassured me that her range of editorial styles and shooting styles was very large as she’s been doing this for YEARS, and had sent me some separate more recent shots she had taken to prove that. We had talked very in detail for days about the hours ineeded from her, pricing, I also explained she would be traveling (which is never a problem for Sam. She loves traveling! ) and we had made a very well customized package trimmed to fit my hours and budget. In the end I received ALL the pictures taken edited exactly how we wanted them. On the wedding day Sam did an amazing job of helping, taking charge of things, and making sure all of our needs were met. I swear she was half wedding planner half photographer. If I needed people to do something she made it happen if I needed people to start getting ready for pictures-she was on it. Her time management is absolutely insane and such a blessing to have on your wedding day. She had some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard when it came to certain poses I wanted accomplished or specific visions I had. She was energetic, hilarious, and made sure everyone had the best time taking these pictures. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. She truly is a photography wizard and will have all of your wedding day dreams come true.

He did a fantastic job taking both formal and candid photos of the bride and groom, as well as our guests. Seth took a tremendous number of photos and turned them around to us within just a few days.

Hi there! I’m Amber, a wedding photographer with a passion for capturing moody, candid moments that tell your love story in the most authentic way. I’d love to be a part of your journey, capturing the honest, emotional moments that make your wedding unforgettable. Let’s work together to create something beautifully unique, just like your love story.

Let me tell you about Miss Amber! This girl not only took amazing photos but she completely came to my rescue! I had my wedding in August, originally I had booked a photographer right at the beginning of the year around January - my photographer I had booked ended up doing what is every brides worst fear, and cancelled on me the WEEK before my wedding!! Unbelievable right! So, as any bride would do - I scoured the internet trying to find someone available and within my budget, with little to no luck with it being such short notice. Amber on the other hand, I found her in a PNW wedding group on Facebook where my mother in law had posted about needing a photographer - and this woman, dropped what she was doing flew out to Portland Oregon from Georgia, and was with me for a FULL 12 hours on my wedding day - literally start to finish. On top of that, she is very sweet and professional and definitely down played how talented she is!! When we got our sneak peek photos back on our honeymoon I quite literally had my breath taken away! The photos are absolutely gorgeous!! I cannot express enough how amazing she was, she completely took the stress of photos of my shoulders (we all know for brides the less stress the better), she posed us, gave us pointers for how to stand, what to say to make each other giggle, funny pictures and serious ones! She ticked every box!! If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion I cannot express enough that this is your gal!! Thank you so much Amber, we will treasure these photos forever!
