My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

Casie Weathers Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first conversation, Casie demonstrated an open, helpful, and kind communication style that put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we were looking for in terms of capturing our special day. Casie's organizational skills, artistic eye, and clear talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered. We had provided Casie with a detailed shot list beforehand, and she made sure to get every single photo we requested, even some we hadn't thought of. The only thing I wish we had done was make sure to get like a full length shot of my dress front and back and a great photo with just my siblings - something to keep in mind for future couples working with anyone. Overall, we are thrilled with the quality of Casie's work and highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding. She captures people in a beautiful way that is always so unique to the couple. We did 8 hours. We recommend 9 because getting ready always takes longer than you think. - happy couple

Hey, I’m Blythe—a wedding photographer with a heart for intimate moments and untamed landscapes. I specialize in capturing the raw, real, and beautifully unposed stories of couples who choose to celebrate their love in meaningful, personal ways—whether it’s a quiet mountaintop elopement or a cozy backyard ceremony with your loved ones. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels true to you, I’d be honored to document it in a way that’s timeless, artful, and deeply personal. Let’s chase the light together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Blythe was the most amazing photographer. We booked her wedding package, and since we were getting our engagement photos done while visiting family in Malaysia, we used our engagement shoot for a spicy photoshoot to surprise my husband on our wedding day. For both events, she made me/everyone feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which is not an easy thing to do. Everyone who has seen our wedding photos absolutely loves them, and we’ve gotten so many compliments on her unique style. The photos feel emotional and have such a deep, meaningful vibe. She even shot some film photos, which we weren’t expecting but ended up loving so much. Blythe also ran through our family photo list right after the ceremony like a drill sergeant in the best way possible. It was incredibly efficient, and everyone was impressed with how smoothly it went. She captured the energy, emotions, and overall vibe of the dinner and dancing perfectly. We truly could not be happier with our photos and can’t recommend her enough.

Adrian Etheridge Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future.

For over a decade, I’ve been capturing stories that feel as real and emotional as the people living them. My journey started with digital photography, but quickly evolved into film photography as well, because some moments deserve to be seen and felt. I create an intentional photo experience for couples who value emotion, artistry, and connection. My work is rooted in honesty; capturing the quiet in-betweens, the laughter, and the fleeting seconds that often go unnoticed. At my core, I believe your memories deserve to be remembered beautifully, not just as images, but as heirlooms that tell the story of who you are and what you love most.

From the moment we met Hiba, we knew she was the perfect person to capture our wedding day. She didn’t just take photos—she saw us. The way she quietly caught the little moments, the ones we didn’t even realize were happening, still gives us chills. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again—the joy, the nerves, the happy tears, the way our hands found each other in the middle of the chaos. Somehow, she bottled up the love and energy of that day in a way that feels so us. Hiba, thank you for giving us the greatest gift—the ability to step back into those moments for years to come. We’re forever grateful.

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.

From our first call with Amy, we were impressed by her warmth, timely responses, and detail-oriented communication style. On the day of our wedding, Amy and her team seamlessly blended into the background, capturing all the candid, in-between moments that we will cherish forever. Amy made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and we hardly even noticed her taking photos - yet the final results were nothing short of extraordinary. The 50 (!!) preview photos she provided just days after our wedding were a wonderful surprise, and we are thrilled with the quality and value of their work (she even edited out a scrape I had from running). We cannot recommend Amy highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional photograger to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

We’re Halima and Imroz, your friendly neighborhood photographers at HiShutter. We believe the best photos happen when you’re having fun, and we’re here to make that happen. Expect some laughs, a lot of love, and epic photos of your big day!

"Choosing Halima and Imroz was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! L they pros behind the camera, and they made us feel so comfortable, we forgot we were even being photographed! We laughed, we joked, and they felt like an extension of our wedding party—like two friends who just happened to be snapping the most incredible shots. If you’re camera-shy (or your partner is!), Halima and Imroz make the whole experience fun and easy. They know how to capture those true-to-life moments while making sure you feel like the most glamorous version of yourself. Not to mention, they’re the ultimate dream team for fusion weddings! Their background made us feel so seen and understood. Long story short: Book them. Thank us later!"
