Jamie was our videographer on our wedding day and we couldn't have been happier with her! Right from the start, working with Jamie was a breeze. She was quick to respond to my emails and easy to coordinate with prior to our wedding. Jamie and her team were such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day! They were extremely friendly and made us feel super comfortable. They thought of all the logistics we never would've thought of (like the sound quality since we got married in front of a fountain) and figured out how to best shoot video. Our trailer video of our wedding was perfect. My husband and I cried watching it! They truly captured all the special moments we shared and we couldn't thank them more! If you are considering, NH Images, book them! You won't regret it!!

Jaee is a 2017 graduate of UNC Greensboro with a Bachelors in Computer Science. She has a had a passion for crafting cocktails since she was able to drink. Her favorite to drink is the Miami Vice! She also loves to bring people together for an amazing experience. The most rewarding part for Jaee, is seeing couples relax and indulge on their special day.

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we had a lot of things to stress about, but our bartenders were not one of them. Jaee was our main point of contact and she was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the entire process. She was also very informative and transparent. You could tell she cared about making our day special rather than just getting another slot filled. On the day of, she and her colleague ( I feel really bad I can’t remember her name), were on the ball and great. They didn’t make any moves without making sure it was okay with us first and they kept the party going. Not only that but they even got us a wedding present the day of. It was completely unexpected but extremely kind. If it couldn’t get any better, Jaee even reached out a month later to wish us a happy 1 month of marriage. I would use their services for every event we have in the future. Truly amazing!

If you’re looking to hire a wedding photographer who can capture your big day in a “not so traditional” way, then you’re in the right place. We are Alternative Portraiture & Documentary Wedding Photographers based in sunny (and sometimes rainy) South Florida, and we like to think of ourselves as friendly, honest, and quirky (the good kind, we promise). We are creative beings at heart and love to tell stories unconventionally.

From the moment we met Erika and Loy for our engagement shoot, we knew we had found something special. They made two self-proclaimed awkward people feel totally at ease in front of the camera. It didn’t feel like posing—it felt like laughing, dancing, and being fully ourselves, all while they worked their magic. The photos captured not just how we looked, but who we are. We walked away from that session with more than beautiful images—we walked away with memories. Fast forward to our wedding day, and they absolutely blew us away. Our friends and family keep raving about the photos: “absolutely stunning,” “so artsy,” “journalistic,” “soulful,” and “hilarious and beautiful at the same time.” The photos brought the emotion of the day flooding back—joy, intimacy, hilarity, and everything in between. Every little detail, every fleeting look, every big, beautiful moment—it’s all there. They somehow captured the energy of the day, not just the visuals. We’ve gone through the gallery more times than we can count, and each time we see something new to love. From my dad’s emotional first look to the spontaneous dance floor chaos to those quiet moments between us in Adirondack chairs—it’s all so genuine and full of heart. Working with Erika and Loy wasn’t just hiring photographers—it was inviting two incredibly talented, kind, and charismatic humans into some of the most important moments of our lives. We can’t imagine having had anyone else there with us. If you’re considering them—do it. Truly, 10 out of 10.

I'm so happy we hired Carolina Music Planner for our ceremony and cocktail hour on the rooftop! It made the moment so magical when walking down the aisle to live music. They offer such a variety of music and we loved our pop covers they played! They were so flexible and easy to communicate with. Our guests loved it and kept raving about the music after.

Lyndsey was amazing through our whole wedding process; from engagement photos, meetings, and the wedding day! She helped two people who generally don’t like their pictures taken feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her style of photography was exactly what we were looking for and we are so thrilled with the outcome. Lyndsey set up a meeting prior to our wedding and created a whole timeline for photos that went along with what our coordinators at the venue had planned. As a big planning person this was so nice for me to see how the whole day would fit together. My favorite thing about working with Lyndsey was just her in general. She is truly a kind person who is passionate about her work. She has an eye for photography that I haven’t seen in any one else’s work. The poses that she created felt natural and came across beautifully. I can’t recommend her enough. If you are looking for timeless looking photos that don’t fit into that standard wedding photo box then she is the one for you! I am so thankful to have worked with her during my wedding journey, she made everything amazing! I look forward to working with her again in the future.
