We had a great time working with Ashley for our wedding! When we first booked her she was communicative and quick to answer any questions we had. She helped out with our timeline and went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. We ended up having to adjust our timeline the day of due to some delays at our venue and Ashley was flexible and still able to get to all of the couples portraits we wanted. My husband and I are not the best at taking photos lol but Ashley was easy to work with and we got some great candid as well as posed shots. The photos turned out beautiful and there are SO many to choose from. Ashley also kept us updated throughout the editing process. Highly recommend booking her!

Thank you for visiting our profile! I'm Mel (Lead Photographer) and my spicy latin queen, wife and BFF, Alegna is the second shooter. We are passionate about making our couples feel at ease in front of the camera so they can fully be present in the moment, while we capture authentic images true to you and your love story. Our motto is, "Love the moment. Live it forever."

Awarded Best of Zola
I was fortunate to find Enamored for my wedding. In the limited time I had, Alegna kept me on target to get everything done. It’s obvious she’s done a lot of weddings. I don’t think anyone else could help me pull off a beautiful wedding in less than a month. The pictures taken by Mel are simply marvelous. He has an easy going demeanor that made us comfortable when taking pictures and he’s always thinking about the next shot which made the photo sessions quick but thorough. The whole family was instrumental in the wedding being stress free and wonderful. I can’t imagine what they could do with more planning time!

Hanna Rain Photos & Film 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

Hello & welcome! I’m a film-forward wedding photographer and videographer in Tennessee, capturing real moments and timeless imagery. I blend digital with 35mm film and Kodak Super 8 to create work that feels nostalgic, imperfect, and deeply human. My documentary approach lets the day unfold naturally, preserving the in-between moments that matter most. I’m drawn to experience-focused weddings — intimate gatherings, outdoor celebrations, and days that feel like a meaningful hang with your favorite people.

Hanna captured our elopement and to say she did a perfect job would be an understatement. She was so easy to communicate with and her presence is comfortable and peaceful. Her kindness and love for what she does is apparent as soon as you meet her. I could go on and on; we loved her!! She was the perfect pick for our day and the best decision we made for our elopement, aside from getting married! Her storytelling through our photos and video was spot on, allowing us to relive those emotions and moments, and giving our loved ones a chance to feel and live that day for their first time. It was obviously felt deeply by all. We seriously cannot thank her enough for everything!

Megan Pitts Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

Megan was truly the best photographer we could have possibly chosen for our engagement and wedding. She was so easy to work with both leading up to our big day, and on wedding day itself (shoutout to her for saving the day more than once on wedding day when the weather and my stress got the best of me!). We are absolutely in love with our photos, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Hey! I'm Rae, and I've been photographing weddings for 15+ years (500 wedding days!) This just means I have the experience and credibility to be reliable and create beautiful results, no matter what.

Engagements, maternity, senior portraits, models = *heart eyes* I believe that life should be remembered as beautifully as it felt when it happened.

Christin Sofka Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

Ali Nicole Photos 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

I'm Ali, a wedding photographer based in North Carolina with over 10 years of experience capturing the unique stories of wonderful couples. Finding a photographer whose work you truly love is essential, but it's equally important to choose someone who will bring out your best and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I strive to do just that and would love the opportunity to be part of your special day!

From our first call, I knew Ali was the photographer we needed (seriously think we booked within 24 hours). We immediately felt comfortable with her as if we were talking to a friend and, as two people who tend to be awkward in front of a camera, this went a long way. During our engagement shoot, she helped find poses that worked naturally, made us laugh during the cheesy shots that turned into our favorite pictures, and brought my Pinterest dreams to life (we had the same pics pinned so it was meant to be). Not to mention she was even sweeter in person. On our wedding day Ali jumped straight into it seamlessly. She’s easy to be around and brings a calming presence no matter what’s going on around her (calling her the calm in the storm would be an understatement). She captured every moment perfectly and had our best interest at her forefront the entire day. She even found excuses to give me a pause if she noticed I was getting nervous or seemed overwhelmed (I never told her I noticed she did that for me but it was so appreciated). After the ceremony, she knew exactly how to wrangle in our families and wedding party, and somehow managed to capture the best photos in record-breaking time. This is getting long so I’ll wrap it up, but if you’re anything like me and you’re indecisive or worried about making the right vendor choices, trust that you won’t regret this one. I could go on and on but, long story short, we’ll be forever grateful we chose Ali!!

I’m Julianne, a North Carolina wedding photographer who believes every love story deserves to be told with care and artistry. My approach is calm, intentional, and deeply human, rooted in connection, trust, and quiet beauty. I create timeless, heartfelt images that honor who you are and the love you share, exactly as it is.

Julianne’s thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and amazing attitude blew us away on our wedding day. Leading up to our big day she sent us some unexpected gifts in the mail, which was a wonderful surprise. We can safely say that she was the best photographer for us on our big day. She was there for much more than photos. Whether it was helping us find things in the chaos of the bridal suite or coming up with a new game plan when we realize our sunset shoot couldn’t happen. Her and her assistant thought of everything to make us as comfortable as possible during our photos. We had a slight bug situation, but the bug spray they brought helped so much. Julianne has a way of making everyone feel comfortable when she’s capturing these special moments. She was even able to bring a smile to my camera shy husbands face consistently throughout the day. She was also able to hype up our wedding party when needed to get the perfect shot. Julianne stayed longer than planned to capture some special moments at our reception, which meant the world to us. She is such a kind and sweet person, who is literally willing to do whatever she needs to help the day run smoothly. One of the best decisions we made when planning was hiring her as our wedding photographer. If you get the opportunity to work with Julianne, trust me you will not regret it. She just might save the day!
