We loved working with Noelle and Daniela at LaElleKae. Even though we were planning a wedding reception in a short time frame (4 months), Noelle and Daniela were calm and cool the whole time while also making sure we got everything we wanted. Additionally, they were incredibly respectful of our budget and very easy to talk to. It's clear that they are experienced in working with all types of brides (and grooms) with all types of visions! Daniela especially went above and beyond for us, working diligently to get the perfect stage for our reception when everything seemed unavailable - she didn't give up. On top of that, we felt that the LaElleKae team were genuine people; they built a wonderful relationship with us, got to know us personally, and shared so much love for us! They make the process easy and convenient, and we were able to enjoy our event to the fullest knowing they were taking care of us.

Alissa is such a wonderful photographer. I was completely impressed by her professionalism, work ethic, and the gorgeous images she produces. She was fantastic at directing my groomsmen and bridesmaids when needed and she gave us fun prompts that created the best wedding photos. She was super quick with her turnaround time and always kept in contact with me throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend Sweet Bliss Media enough, and as you can see, her team's work speaks for itself:) We also used her for the engagement session and she was such a trooper because we had to move the session around due to inclement weather. She is super friendly, made us always feel comfortable, and overall is a lovely human being!

She was also great at giving several recommendations for locations! We hiked to a mountain top near Asheville and couldn’t have asked for a better location! Anna’s photos not only captured priceless candid moments but beautiful sceneries within each picture!

Bill Carroll was more than a DJ at my mom's wedding. He genuinely cared about my mom's wishes and made it clear he wanted her to have the best wedding ever. It's like he became a member of our family leading up to and during the wedding. He made the entire process SO easy. When it came to the actual wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. My favorite part was when everyone left to line up and send off my mom and her new hubby, he played one final song for just the two of them to dance to, by themselves, on the dance floor. It was so incredibly touching. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute stand up guy and a DJ who knows what he's doing! Everyone had a blast. We love you, Bill Carroll!

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.

She was so much more than just a photographer—she felt like a friend, guiding us through the day with care and making sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, Stephanie and her second shooter Sheri were an amazing team, keeping us relaxed and calm while capturing all the important moments.

Their professionalism and warmth were exactly what we needed during such an emotional time, and they both went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The photos themselves are stunning—every shot feels timeless and captures the joy, love, and candid moments we’ll treasure forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I booked Christen about two years before my wedding. She was so kind and understanding after I had to move my date three times due to the military. On the day of she asked a lot of questions and showed pictures of examples to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted and to make me feel beautiful. My wedding was in the North Carolina mountains where it was 90 degrees and 60% humidity. So, understandably everyone was very sweaty and hot. But throughout the whole day and after standing in the sun for an hour during the ceremony, I was not shiny, oily, or anything. I had probably every single person at my wedding tell me my makeup looked amazing and my makeup artist did so good, they couldn’t believe it honestly lol. Then at the end of the night my husband and I ran into the river with our wedding party, and guess what? Makeup was still perfect! I honestly wish I could hire Christen for every event in my life so she can make me look like that every single day.

Hey, there! I am a "Type A" wedding planner based out of Greenville, SC. I fell in love with the Wedding Industry when my sister got married during the HEIGHT of COVID (August 2020) and we were put in the position of having to make about a million changes to accommodate health and safety needs. Since then, I've helped so many couples plan their perfect day. I love "The Office," vanilla iced coffee, reading mystery books, Jesus, and tuxedo cats. I enjoy an adrenaline rush bouldering, doing aerial silks, or hot power vinyasa.

Tori was fantastic! She truly enjoys what she does for couples and it shows! You can also tell that she's had lots of experience. She was so calm, which helped me stay calm, too. She helped us with several details for our wedding. Everything from making a timeline to finding a few vendors we still needed. She was super easy to get on the phone/text. I liked her planning google drive that allowed us to work together and stay on the same page. Her monthly meetings were very useful and were never on a "time crunch." Sometimes we talked for 30 mins and sometimes it was 2 hours. She never made me feel like I was just another client. She really took her time with us. She came early and stayed late without charging us extra on our wedding day (wish I could say the same for the photographer). She went above and beyond what her responsibilities included--helping my family with setup/tear down/helping my grandmother move around. She really made sure I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day. She made sure what WE wanted was what was prioritized, even when some family tried to step in. She handled herself with grace and ran "interference" beautifully. I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator!!

No trends, no awkward poses. Just love, laughter and emotion.  While photographs are one of the few things you walk away from your wedding with, they aren’t the sole purpose of your event. You are there to get married, see your people, and celebrate this moment in your life. The photographs come far after that. This day is all about your love for each other. However you naturally stand together, embrace each other, whether you visit people on different sides of the room or hold hands all day, whatever story you tell on your wedding day is going to be preserved as such. Weddings are just love stories wrapped up into one day.

10/10 recommend! We hired Ashley for her "paparazzi service" to take guest photos so everyone could sit back, relax, and really feel like the stars of the night. It was such a special touch and our guests LOVED it. This is a MUST add to any photography bookings. Thank you Ashley for capturing the magic of our special day, we are forever grateful.

My name's Allison and I am a photographer for the madly in love, imperfect couples that want their joy-filled wedding days to be captured on camera. Working to pursue my degree in my Masters of Occupational Therapy, I spend all my free time behind a camera shooting the love and beauty of those I meet. A lover of Jesus, chocolate freak, and an Enneagram 2, I am SO excited you're here and interested in a photographer!

Allison is quite literally the best photographer I’ve worked with. Not only is she so easy to work with while setting up the shoot and during the shoot, but her photos are absolutely incredible. I used her for both my engagement shoot and wedding photographer and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made! She also sent 50 sneak peeks the day after my wedding so I could share the happy news with my far away friends on social media!! She is the BEST.

Hi, I'm Laurel! I love to capture authentic, candid moments between you and your loved ones, as well as variations on classic poses. I like to think of myself as a storyteller for sweethearts in love. I specialize in natural light wedding photography, with an emphasis on fine art and candid images. On wedding days, my second shooter is my sweet husband, Jakub– that’s right, we are a husband and wife team! I love shooting all the emotion-filled moments and delicate details on your wedding day, and I couldn’t imagine doing it without Jakub by my side. We when aren't photographing, we are usually spending time with our Holland Lop, Beau!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the pleasure of working with Laurel and Jakub throughout multiple sessions over the last 2 years - engagement photos, bridal portraits, rehearsal dinner and wedding day! Laurel was always open to my thoughts and suggestions from inspiration I had seen for poses, session locations, etc. but she is always prepared to give such helpful direction and guidance based on her experience. Communication is 12/10 and we loved her use of "credits" with the packages she offers. Sessions were always extremely comfortable and in turn, she was able to capture photos where we felt confident and well, like ourselves! Outside from their incredible talent to capture such special moments - Laurel and Jakub are just wonderful people to be around and work with!

I’m telling a story, specifically your story. I’m invested in my couples and want to know them to best document the romance between two people. I’m also direct and loud to get your wild family together for those group shots. My promise is that you’ll leave this experience more in love.

Tylar is so so amazing at what she does! She makes the whole experience enjoyable and somehow managed to keep my fiance engaged and he even had some fun! She’s very personable and wants YOU to enjoy the pictures wholeheartedly. We have done 2 sessions so far and she will do my wedding in November. I have loved every single shoot/picture and I highly recommend Tylar for ALL of your photoshoot needs she’s seriously the best!
