Victoria Grace Photography

5.0

Waynesville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

It's weird describing the "me behind the camera" but I'll start with the fact I'm the mother of two of the cutest identical twin girls you've ever seen. This business allows me to spend most of my time with them and even some of my work time and for that I am forever thankful. While finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Middle Grades Education at Western Carolina University photography sort of just happened. By the time I graduated I knew that photography was what I wanted to do full time. I shot a wedding the day I was supposed to walk the stage at graduation and I've been chasing light with some of the sweetest couples in the world ever since.

Fox & Owl Studio
Waynesville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

I am a Mama to two red headed blue eyed babies and wife to a tender hearted bearded mountain man. Fox & Owl is my love story with that man and it's a small whisper of my deep + intimate relationship with the natural world. I'm a fiery woman as a Leo sun and Sag moon + rising. I cuss a lot and I break out into a terrible British accent when I'm excited - especially when I'm shooting with my clients. I love dark humor and I get tickled at the smallest things. You can find me at home with my fam and my dogs, deep in the woods howling at the moon, around a fire with an endless glass of Scotch, or enjoying a cuppa in my favorite coffee shop.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie did our engagement and wedding pictures, and I can not recommend her enough! As a bride I knew I wanted a photographer that was easy to talk to/work with, wasn’t afraid to try new things, suggest new ideas and would be able to have a little fun in the process; Lacie was just that! Before the wedding, I knew I wanted a variety of different poses. To make sure I got ever pose I wanted, she made a album, shared it with me, and went through it the big day (what a genius idea)! Shortly after our wedding, we had several friends and family members compliment how impressed they were of her. From the time she got to the venue to the time she left, she was always on the move getting the best shot and making sure everything ran smoothly! Her and her team were a huge part in making our big day everything we had imagined!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

I was so pleased to work with OLAS. When I got engaged I had several photographers in mind and felt very discouraged when I found out they were all booked for my wedding day. I came across OLAS online and was hesitant to use a "photography company" but they blew my expectations out of the water. They were so responsive, so communicative. I felt like it was just me they were working with. The best part was picking out the photographer I wanted and she was a dream fit. We had so much in common, she was easy going but she helped keep us right on schedule the day of the wedding and ensured that I got all the special moments captured that I wanted to. And the photos are stunning. I spent an entire day just looking at them over and over, reliving the most perfect day ever! Thank you OLAS and Dana for capturing moments that will live on forever. You guys are the best.

As a Memphis, TN Wedding photographer, I have been calling the Grind City my home for the past 10 years. I love the city, the lifestyle, and even the incredibly stupid traffic (although that won't keep the road rage down). I came here for my BFA in Photography and stayed for the Grind City life. My work focuses on the actions we take to show our care and love for each other. I cherish all types of human connection, and believe that our most precious memories deserve to be preserved in a way that is personable and true to us.

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

So where do I start?! Lead and his team are the most professional, passionate, skilled, and accommodating photographer/videographer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the most important day of our lives. They took so much time to incorporate everything we could want in our wedding photos and they even took the time to edit some multiple amazing videos with the footage. They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I'd recommend their work for any event you'd like to capture precious moment's in! They were worth more than every cent we spent! Again, thank you so so much Ledd and team. We will treasure these photos forever.

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Seeing Southern

Hayesville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Waynesville, NC

We are Len + Judy, a husband-wife team. As award winning travel photographers, wedding photographers specializing in destination weddings, plus commercial and portrait, and lifetyle shoots, we provide service second to none. Since we only schedule 10-12 weddings each year, we commit to you the time you deserve. We do not book more than one wedding each weekend. We will exceed your expectations.

Awarded Best of Zola
Judy & Len were hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. After seeing many examples online of stiff, unnaturally-posed couples with instagram-esque filtering, Seeing Southern was a breath of fresh air. Not only is their photography truly timeless, but they took time to get to know us as a couple and were able to capture who we are in ways we didn't know were possible. Many of their posts talk about being storytellers and I can't think of a better way to describe them. They told our story better than we ever could, without saying a word. As for the wedding day itself, I personally don't know what we would have done without Judy and Len. They helped us create our original wedding day timeline (which was a lifesaver in itself since we had no idea where to start!) and adjusted that timeline seamlessly as things went awry in other areas. Judy kept me calm and collected during the most stressful moments of the day and even helped my MOH wrap my bouquet. Thanks to the engagement session, we were totally comfortable with Judy & Len during wedding photos. They made sure we got all the group shots we had planned during the shorter time slot, then we got to go "play" between the ceremony and reception. We had SO much fun doing tricks with my veil and the 70s convertible that a family friend let us borrow for the day. Some of the most consistent feedback we've gotten from our wedding from family and friends is how helpful they were, how much fun they were to have around, and how amazing the photos turned out. I think what makes Judy and Len truly exceptional is the thing that is hardest to put into words - they call it "the in-between." When they tell you to pose a certain way or spin or dip or kiss, the pictures you'll treasure (and that make you friends and family say "wow!") aren't necessarily of the pose they asked you to do in that moment. Many of our favorites are of us laughing post-spin because I almost fell and my husband had to catch me. They'll tell you to suck in air before your lips touch for a "kiss" picture...well, I'm smiling in every single one because of the vacuum-like noise my husband would make. They also catch some of the best candids of moments that you may not expect or even get to see yourselves. There's a photo from right before our ceremony of my now-husband placing a framed picture of my mother, who passed away long before he came into my life, onto her reserved-in-memory chair, which just melts my heart every time I see it. I was standing nearby when it was taken and probably handed him the frame myself, but I never would have thought to ask for a picture of that moment. To have someone you've only met once be able to tell what is going to mean the most to you in the midst of wedding chaos, that's a quality that can only come with love for your clients and passion for your craft. It's something that is certainly hard to find, harder to name, and impossible to quantify. To say that Judy and Len go above and beyond for their clients would be an understatement to say the least. They treated us like family from the very beginning and we could not be more grateful. To any future brides or grooms, please, do not miss out on this amazing duo. I can guarantee you'll get two amazing artists to tell your love story, but even better, you might just make two lifelong friends along the way.

My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever.

I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

We could not love our engagement and wedding pictures more! From our first meeting with McKenna she got our vibe and made us both feel comfortable. We don't love pictures of ourselves but McKenna's shots captured our personalities and love for each other and made us feel so good. The only trouble is narrowing down which shots we want to get printed to display in our house! You will not go wrong with 1828 Collective and McKenna!

Wilder Weddings Collective is a dedicated team of elopement and wedding photographers passionate about capturing wild love and real emotion. Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

From start to finish we can not say enough about how great our experience working with Carolyn and Jake was (formerly CarolynMariePhotography). Getting married/eloping in a pandemic was inherently stressful and Carolyn was so much more than just a photographer for us, she truly guided us through every step of our planning process. When the universe still let our best laid plans (and back up plans) take a turn she was there to make sure we were still having the best day and rewrote my wedding day timeline for me about 3 times on the spot. The photos we received are STUNNING, but having them help us through our wedding day was honestly priceless - I can’t imagine getting married without them we honestly had so much fun. You’ll have the best time with them and still feel like you’re alone together at the same time when it matters. The organization and promptness is on point, the recommendations/referrals were amazingly helpful, the photos are absolutely beautiful and these are GOOD PEOPLE. You will not regret hiring them for your big day!!

Hi, I'm Kayla, and I believe that your wedding day should reflect what you and your beloved want; **not** what others want. Yep–I said it. Your wedding day can be your greatest adventure yet, and your decision to elope can trailblaze the way for more intention in your life. How? Eloping is a coming home to yourself and your beloved because you’re boiling all the details of your day down to what really matters. With that extra space in your day, void of distractions, you're truly free to live out your day with intention. I would be so thrilled and honored to come alongside you and help capture and craft your best day ever!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world. All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera when I was about 6. I documented everything. Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't even remember without pictures. I enjoy life, and that’s why people call me the “happiest photographer.”

**We are new to Zola but not new wedding photographers.** Banker Creative is a small business consisting of myself Joe, and my wife Ashley. We are a Husband + Wife Creative Team that specializes in documenting weddings. We call Ohio home, but we are grateful to have the opportunity to continue to capture weddings all over the country. So far we have worked in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Utah, Virgina, West Virginia and Washington DC. We can't wait to visit more states and experience new places!

Cannot recommend Joe Banker Photography and Videography enough! We hired them for our wedding and received a free engagement shoot in our package. My husband and I are very nervous and uncomfortable with our pictures being taken but Joe and Ashley immediately made us feel comfortable and confident. Our engagement pics were STUNNING! Because of this, we ended up extending our wedding package to include our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Joe and Ashley were part of our entire wedding weekend and were one of our favorite parts. They were calm, extremely professional, constantly being flexible with weather and lighting, and so accommodating to my husband and I and our entire bridal party. They were so unbelievable that we received texts and calls from guests about how appreciative they were of Joe and Ashley - and this was BEFORE our wedding day pics even were released! Needless to say, our pictures and videos from our wedding weekend were perfect. Joe and Ashley have a keen eye for beautiful shots and what works for each couple. Book Joe Banker Photography, we PROMISE you won’t regret it! They are worth every cent and will bring so much joy to your special day and marriage for years and years to come.

As a photographer myself, it's not usually easy for me to be in front of the camera but Ashton showed up with a friendly demeanor and talked me through the process which made me so comfortable having my photo taken. This shows in the photos I received from her - fully-edited and beautiful!! I feel like I made a friend right away meeting Ashton and would recommender for anyone looking for photos!

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy working with Taylor & Jarod! They are not only very talented, yet very fun to work alongside with. The always produce amazing quality work, and their communication with me as the coordinator is always punctual. I of course have them on my Preffered Vendor List and highly highly recommend them to my couples. You will have such a fun time with these two, and all of your special moments will be captured- garenteed! True professionals.

Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

Sarah and Brad bring something genuine to the table. When you work with a couple who has so much love for not only their work but for each other, it completely elevates the experience and it’s like they are already family. Everything feels natural, unforced, and it’s a true joy to have been both in front of their cameras and along side of them. The laughter is only a bonus to the quality you receive in your final product, and it really makes the time you spent together unforgettable. I live in Kentucky and I am fortunate that they love to travel and work with so many people. If you want memories that you can be proud to show off, Sarah and Brad are the only two that I have ever found that can create unique and beyond stunning images all while bringing their individuality into the mix. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for me, both personally and professionally. You won’t find anyone better.

Based in ATL, Im a full time wedding photographer. Im always down for an adventure.

I am here for all the coffee, hugs, & candids. ohh and my Cat hehe

Awarded Best of Zola
I chose Hailey from the moment we had our initial call to talk through her services. She listened so well to our wedding vision & asked thoughtful questions. We were forgoing a wedding coordinator & other “extras.” Hailey was still excited to take us on as clients which some photographers would not have. I was ready to confirm during the call with how supportive and excited she sounded about our day. From this call, she sent over her proposal for cost & information very quickly. She was responsive via text & email to any questions we had. Closer to the date, she sent over a questionnaire so she could be prepared with the photos we wanted. It also included tips & guidance on making sure the experience is smooth. This was super helpful. During the wedding, I was blown away by her and her second shooter. She was decisive when we needed someone to make a decision, supportive to me as a bride, went above and beyond to handle any last minute changes or hiccups with grace. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken. She made it sooo easy and fun! The photos are sooo creative and I continue to pinch myself that they are ours! Wow! Here’s where she deserves to be shouted from the rooftops: We scheduled a hike we wanted photographed to a waterfall on site at the venue (our venue at Hawkesdene in NC lodges all guests for 2 nights). The venue shared it was 1 mile in/out and not difficult. Well it HAILED the night before and rained all night so the path was flooded and muddy. We had to decide to forge ahead or cancel. She without hesitation was ready to forge ahead, ruining her shoes, to ensure we could still have our hike documented with our guests. She encouraged me along the way and I am so grateful because the photos are just incredible. Anyone would be truly lucky to have Hailey capture their wedding. This review doesn’t do her or her skills justice. I will forever cheer her on & can’t wait to find an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Maddy/Maddness Photography was AMAZING from start to finish. I have been working with her for about 9 months for my engagement and wedding photos. She was quick to respond with any questions via email or text. Her website was super easy to use and was incredibly helpful in keeping all the "paperwork" together in one place. She even let me change in her car. She is super down to earth. Her and her team are incredibly talented at what they do. During both shoots, she made Andy and I feel completely comfortable, which I think helped create more natural looking photos. Andy doesn't think he photographs well, but she somehow pulled off fantastic shots. She has an eye for special moments and interprets them differently for each client, which I love. She is a true artist, in that it's not "cookie cutter" in any way, but still felt polished and extremely professional. Our wedding went on without a hitch, she was polite, engaging and on time. I would recommend Maddy to ANYONE looking to document their special event, I know I will be back for sure when we have kids for family portraits <3.

Because of that, we have grown to be super passionate and dedicated to helping couples create elopements and intimate weddings that are the truest reflection of themselves in the places that inspire them the most and documenting that for them.

Jaira and Jesse were absolutely incredible. My wedding was anything but normal thanks to Covid... they both stuck with me the entire way and went above and beyond to make sure they would make it(now to another state) to capture my wedding. They even helped me day of and did more than I could’ve ever expected to help make sure it all ran smooth just because that’s the kind of people they are. Their character speaks volumes for their work and their love and passion for photography speaks for itself in my pictures. I would recommend them time and time again as they were such a memorable part of my special day. Thanks guys for everything!

She makes you feel comfortable and at ease with the day and is always willing to go with the flow....and the weather in western NC is always all over the place so that's always a fantastic trait to have.

One of the qualities that makes Leah stand out above other photographers I've worked with, (I'm an actress and on set often) is her specialized eye on composition, lighting and movement in a photo and the way she makes everyone feel at ease. The photos she captured were published a week later in the magazine BEAUTIFUL. Our wedding was featured in a 7 page spread story about our celebration. The other huge selling factor about Leah is the softness she provides in the finished photo. It is a surreal, warm, quality filled with a love light that is consistent in all of the photos she prepped and sent to us. She delivers such emotional and epic photos.

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.

My interest in photography sparked when I was young as I watched my dad photograph everything around him. I asked for my first camera when I was 8 years old, and from the first moment it was in my hands, I couldn't put it down. I photographed EVERYTHING from bugs to people to Beanie Babies, filling shoeboxes with negatives and little 3x5 prints. After coloring "backdrops" on notebook paper for each beanie babie and having a full-on photo shoot, I knew photography would be a part of my life forever. :P I photographed my first wedding in November, 2008: over 200 weddings, 7 countries, and 20 states later, and I am still loving every second.

Betsy is the most genuine human I know. She will share in your journey, not just show up for your wedding photos. She communicates clearly and often, especially if you’re out of state from her. She went above and beyond for our engagement photos and wedding weekend. The images and moments she captures don’t compare to other photographers and her style is so rich and emotional.

Hi friend! I'm Samantha, a Nashville, Tennessee wedding photographer serving couples in Tennessee + beyond. I take pride in documenting your wedding day authentically. Capturing all of the unseen, quiet moments, as well as the unplanned and beautiful ones, that just cannot be recreated. As your wedding photographer, my goal is to leave you with images to cherish for decades to come.

We worked with a few photographers as a couple before meeting Sam. To tell you that she changed my perspective on pictures (as a man) is not telling you enough. We love working with her and she always makes it a joy. She makes our sessions fun and energetic and we won’t be working with anyone else in the future.

I had my session done by Debra and I felt so comfortable around her! At first, I was super nervous about how to pose and she told me what to do and I felt comfortable after that. I enjoyed every bit of the session and she gave me the edited photos within 3 days max which is awesome!

I live off caffeine (Did I mention I have four kids?) and Sour Patch Kids, which means there is a good chance I will show up to your wedding with a Redbull in hand! My path into photography started when my wife brought me along as her second shooter and has grown into me taking over photographing weddings with her, occasionally, second shooting for me.

The only words to describe Jeff is a lifesaver. In our choosing process there was never any other competition and his work definitely showed it! He got us back a sneak peek the same night and the pictures were just STUNNING! I owe my life to Jeff. The only thing that mattered to us at the end of the day were our pictures and he hit it out of the park! Very professional and makes the process so much easier!

My name is Dustin Finkelstein. I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to turn my passion into my career. I love picking up my camera everyday and never knowing what the world is going to bring my way. With over 20 years of photography experience, I want to approach every wedding in a fresh way that reflects the unique aspects of the couple’s relationship and individual personalities. I try to naturally capture who my couples are with an artistic flare; letting the real moments they share during their wedding and engagements shine. That way, when they look at their photos years down the line it’ll be like it was just yesterday.

Dustin is an absolute dream to work with! He was BY FAR the most professional and responsive wedding vendor we experienced in our entire planning process. We had to reschedule our engagement shoot (due to COVID restrictions), and Dustin went above and beyond to pull some strings to make it all come together for us. On the actual day of the shoot, I was really nervous about looking nice and coming up with unique ideas to make the photos look special. It is so much pressure! Dustin immediately put my mind at ease, asked a few questions, and knew exactly what we were looking for. He proceeded to take the lead and capture the most beautiful, creative photos of us. They came out better than we could have ever imagined!! So grateful to Dustin for this wonderful, stress-free experience and gorgeous memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

Working with Mike was an absolute dream. My partner and I are not people who feel comfortable in front of a camera. Mike completely changed that - although we had never met in person before, Mike felt like an old friend. He had the utmost patience in dealing with our wild family members before we arrived and captured every moment completely perfectly. Mike was so intentional about every shot and was incredible about getting all of the nature-inspired, detail-oriented shots that I wanted. Every time I look back at my wedding album, I'm brought to joyful tears just seeing how perfectly captured every raw emotion was. At our reception, guests couldn't stop raving about how personable and easy to work with Mike was. We had a very "free-flowing" party and Mike was able to round-up everyone and get all of our needed family and friend shots - an impossible task! My partner and I just don't have enough good things to say about the entire experience, Mike as a person, and the beautiful pictures that we ended up with. I look back on our photos and know that I will forever have memories of the moody, "Pinterest-board-inspired" wedding of my dreams!

I'm the one behind the camera that is bigger than my face. Since 2007, my mission has been to capture every precious moment, both candid & posed, without being obtrusive. Each image should take you right back to that emotion for years to come. You will spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than anyone else, so make sure whomever you choose, you have a good connection with. My goal is to spoil my clients with amazing images, of course, but also to create a calm environment by having a positive attitude & servant spirit.

Shanell was our photographer for our fall wedding! It was absolutely beautiful and she did a perfect job capturing every moment of that day! We loved working with her and enjoyed all the meetings we had because we just love being around her! Because of COVID, we had to change our wedding date and she was easy to communicate with and ended up calming me down when I would panic! :) She had this little dance she did when she would get ready to take pictures that added to the fun of the day! Everyone commented on her making all the photos a breeze and a joy to do! I also went and did a boudoir shoot with her for a Christmas gift for my husband. HIGHLY recommend adding that to your must-haves, brides!! It was so incredibly empowering and SO much fun! Embrace your curves and EVERY perfect imperfection that makes you unique! We are SO grateful for all of Shanell's hard work, professionalism, and awesome attitude! We adore every single photo she has captured for us and have loved every minute we've gotten to spend with her!

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away. We can’t wait to see how our photos turned out, we know they will be amazing. 10/10 recommend Alessandra and for your wedding!

We're that hilarious couple who will leave a smile on your face. Hi there! Because we are living one of our own! 8 years ago, we met on Tinder and immediately connected over a shared love of off-roading and storytelling. Kenny would document our adventures Jeeping across Georgia on video while I snapped photos along the way. It didn’t take long to recognize we had a special ability to capture the fullness of a story by collaborating through our favorite mediums. Today, we explore the rolling countryside of our home state (and beyond!), bringing our warm and fun-loving personalities to elegant wedding celebrations. And we hope yours is next!
