About Whimsy and wild photography

Chloe Mckinney

Hi, I’m Chloe, the photographer behind Whimsy & Wild Photography! I’m a coastal North Carolina photographer, mother of three, and lifelong creative with a passion for storytelling and genuine human connection. Wedding photography holds a special place in my heart. I love the excitement, the emotions, the carefully planned details, and even the unexpected moments that make every wedding day unique. My approach combines thoughtful direction, creativity, and the ability to adapt to whatever the day brings. I strive to be a calming, confident presence throughout your wedding, helping you feel comfortable while documenting your celebration as it naturally unfolds.

What sets me apart is the experience I create just as much as the images I deliver.I bring a balance of creativity, confidence, and adaptability to every wedding day.I’m comfortable taking the lead when direction is needed, but equally comfortable stepping back and allowing moments to unfold. I understand that no two weddings are alike, and I don’t believe in treating them that way . I take the time to understand each couple, their personalities, and what matters most to them. From navigating a busy wedding timeline to embracing the unexpected, my priority is making sure you feel supported, and fully present throughout your celebration.

If I could give Whimsey & Wild 100 stars, I would
Where do I even begin?! Chloe is truly AMAZING at what she does! We had the absolute BEST time with her during our engagement photo session, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience! From the moment we started, Chloe had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying every second. She has this incredible ability to capture those real, candid moments that you don't even realize are happening. Nothing felt forced or overly posed. It was just US, having fun, laughing, loving on each other, and Chloe capturing it all so beautifully! She went above and beyond, giving us multiple gorgeous locations, time for outfit changes, and even squeezing in a quick beer break to help loosen our nerves! I mean, what photographer does that?! She made the entire experience feel less like a photo shoot and more like a fun afternoon with a friend! And THE PHOTOS!! Oh my goodness! We fell in love with so many of them that we have had just about every single one printed! They are all over our home, and we've gifted so many to our family. They are memories we will treasure forever. Chloe doesn't just take beautiful pictures. She captures personalities, emotions, laughter, and those little in-between moments that tell your story. That is a true gift, and she has it! If you are looking for a photographer who is insanely talented, makes you feel completely comfortable, and leaves you with photos you will cherish for a lifetime, CHLOE IS YOUR GIRL! Thank you, Chloe, for giving us such a fun experience and memories we get to look at every single day. You are simply THE BEST!

Best photographer EVER!
Whimsy and Wild Photography was absolutely amazing and captured our wedding day perfectly! Chloe is the sweetest, most accommodating person, and her talent for capturing the most beautiful, genuine moments is unmatched. She is truly a professional who goes above and beyond to make your experience special. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, and she edited and delivered them so quickly! I would hire her a million times over and can’t wait to work with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and wonderful to work with, I cannot recommend Chloe and Whimsy and Wild Photography enough!

Perfect Photographer for my Coastal Wedding
We had such a great experience working with Whimsy and Wild Photography. Chloe was amazing and went above and beyond to capture every moment of our micro wedding, making us feel beautiful throughout the whole process. Her communication was honest and punctual, and she had great suggestions that really shaped how our day came together. The photos turned out whimsical and romantic with this airy, coastal feel that perfectly captured the emotion we wanted to remember. We'd absolutely recommend Chloe to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their vision.
