HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Ashley Cynthia Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! From our first meeting, Ashley's positive, professional, and fun communication style put us at ease. On the big day, she and her talented and detail-oriented team worked tirelessly to capture all of those special moments. Ashley kept me smiling even during some family stress.

Bonie Weddings is a wedding photography and videography company, dedicated to capturing those unscripted and genuine moments. From candid laughs and unplanned dance moves to even the cake mishaps (yes, it happens), We're there to preserve the authenticity and genuinely of your special day. Our team of professionals firmly believes that every couple should have the opportunity to capture the memories of their special day without breaking the bank.

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!

From the first introduction phone call to hugging her goodbye at the end of our wonderful wedding day, Makayla was Amazing. She heard my wishes and concerns about our wedding photos and helped me see her vision. And even got me in a rowboat! (Forever Grateful!) And the final results are breathtaking and I can’t choose a single photo I love more than others. They’re all above and beyond my expectations.

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Sharon and her second shooter, Hannah, are simply the best. Sharon's professionalism, creativity, customer service and commitment to detail were unmatched during the planning process and everything came to a beautiful crescendo on our wedding day in Charlotte, NC in June 2024. She understands family dynamics and approaches her work with love and respect. Her innate ability to capture light, emotion, movement and grace cannot be overstated. I wish there was a 10-star rating.

Your unique style. What makes you come alive. What you hope to share with the world. That's what you want in your wedding photos.

We used Hannah for our wedding and it was a truly magical experience. We weren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera, but the engagement photos helped make the wedding day feel much more natural. Working with her was easy with great contact. She was receptive to our wants/ ideas and very responsive. We got our engagement photos back super quick and they made me so excited for the wedding day. Our photos were light, bright and airy and more beautiful than we could have imagined. She was so nice, friendly and efficient. She was headed out of town after our wedding, and she surprised us with 20ish preview photos the very next day before she left. I would recommend her over and over!

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mikkel was more than just our photographer, she was a partner to us for the wedding as a whole! We had a destination wedding on the new Disney cruise ship, the Wish, and while it was an amazing time there were definitely challenges to planning a destination wedding at a brand new venue that we couldn't see until the wedding trip itself. Mikkel has a strong network of contacts in the industry that kept her informed of the ship and logistics and she ended up being more helpful to us than our Disney wedding coordinator! She checked in multiple times throughout our wedding planning on photography things such as the timeline, but also helped in providing her opinion on things like the bridesmaid dresses, the locations for the first look, and was generally helpful with her wealth of knowledge of Disney Cruise Line weddings to bounce ideas off of. Her pictures were INCREDIBLE! The quality, coloring, angles, lighting, everything about them is absolutely perfect. But most importantly, she is such a warm and happy person to work with that we felt incredibly comfortable posing in front of her for hours on end! We also had the luxury of her husband helping us a bit too and they were such a team, working together in the hot Bahamian sun quickly and effectively without even needing to direct each other most of the time to maximize how many pictures we could get before the sweat ruined our dress/suit/hair! Another attribute of Mikkel's that's worth mentioning is her flexibility. We took pictures with her the days before and after our wedding in addition to the big day, and our plan and timeline for the full weekend was completely in flux due to the chaos of our venue. If that caused issues for Mikkel, we never knew as she was upbeat and positive and leaned into every challenge that came our way. Honestly I could go on and on about her, she's exactly who we needed for our wedding and I am so grateful that we found her. If you are considering Mikkel, stop thinking about it and just book her - you won't regret it!

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

I’m originally from New York, and shortly after moving down south I found myself falling in love with a country boy and made the New River Valley, VA my home. I have had a passion for photography since I was a child, and when I finally decided to take the leap into my own photography journey I was very lucky to have the support of family, friends and other professionals. I’ve had the opportunity to have some amazing mentors along the way and have soaked up everything they took the time to teach me.

As a vendor I wanted my own product presented clearly with detail and style. Alex did just that. She was extremely accommodating to my schedule, communicated with me often and clearly (for example, turn around time for editing her photos), and really knew what she was doing with lighting and attention to detail. Working with her was a pleasure, and my custom cakes and cupcakes have never looked more beautiful!

Kiara was excellent! She did everything we asked for! I was worried about what the pictures would look like when they came back but They actually came back better than we expected. We highly recommend her for your wedding, as well as any photography you may be wanting done. Also are prices are very affordable!

Gabbi from Inca Photography was the perfect photographer for our special day. She went above and beyond when it came to communication, suggestions and execution day of the wedding. Throughout the whole planning process she made herself available to us making us feel reassured with our ideas and providing us with new ones. We couldn't be happier with the way our photos came out. She has an incredibly fast turn around time! She sent us Sneak peaks from the wedding days after. Not only was she incredibly professional but she also made sure we felt heard and seen on a personal level. We know how important your wedding day is and she made sure she was a lending hand in so many other ways. We couldn't recommend her enough because she truly just captured our day to the best of it's ability.

Hello, and Welcome! My personal philosophy is: ​ "When you commit yourself to do something, do it from the heart." Photographing you is not only a hobby, but a timeless commitment and passion to capture authenticity in the memories we are about to create.​I love seeing the beauty and emotions in people. I am not here to treat you as my client, but as a friend who I can make a connection with, and who is letting me capture those perfectly imperfect moments you wish to see. Let's chat more!

When you start wedding planning, it is so overwhelming to decide on vendors when there are so many available. But we are so happy we chose Amanda to be our wedding photographer! My husband and I had never had professional photos done, and when we had our engagement photo session, Amanda helped us become more comfortable and photographed us naturally, while also giving us suggestions for poses and actions so she could get some great shots. We saw our engagement photos and they were so beautiful, we were so excited to have her photograph our wedding! Throughout the process, Amanda was always fast to respond and answered any questions we had. She even guided us on our wedding timeline and was so helpful since she has photographed so many weddings. On the day of our wedding - she fit in with all our friends and family for the vibe of our wedding - fun, relaxed, and loving! We appreciated that she listened to everything we wanted for our wedding photos, but also made suggestions for things that she knew she could photograph amazingly! Now looking at our photographs, we are blown away by how beautiful they are and how she captured the day and us as a couple. Thank you so much to Amanda for capturing our best day ever!

We are Luis and Barbara, photographers based in Washington, DC. We had the privilege of studying photojournalism while dating years ago. As a couple, we share our passion for photography and love itself. Therefore, we know how to tell stories filled with real emotions from your special moment while capturing your natural essence. Planning a wedding is filled with important details, and photography is not an exception since our goal is to ensure all your planning is preserved forever. This is why we maintain a high standard of training to deliver consistent quality throughout our images.

Luis and Barbara are not only incredibly talented but were a joy to work with. Since we're both deaf, our biggest fear when it came to working with a photographer was how we will manage to communicate. But Luis and Barbara made us feel super comfortable and confident from the very beginning and we had so much fun during our sessions with them. They were consistently communicative, transparent, organized, and informative throughout the whole process. Whenever we saw Luis and Barbara all of the usual wedding stresses just melted away. We truly believe they are magic! And when we got our photos, we couldn't be happier. They were beautiful and we will treasure them forever. We sincerely couldn't have asked for a better photographer team.

My family has always told me that I have a special knack for bringing out the beauty in everything. I put my talents to work and in 2015, I established Alissa Jean Photography! I love blending light and vibrance to create a glowing atmosphere around my client’s most memorable moments. My most favorite moments to capture are golden hour photos! In the glow and flow of a bright sunset, I can really highlight the passion present in any couples eyes and every client’s smile. Living in East Tennessee provides the perfect backdrop for my work. I love creating timeless portraits that capture the true feeling and charm to any moment!

Awarded Best of Zola
Alissa Jean Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. Her communication throughout the planning process was timely, responsive, and understanding - she helped guide me through decisions about shot lists and family photos in the lead-up to our big day. On the wedding day itself, Alissa was phenomenal at capturing all of the most important moments, big and small. She made sure to get shots of special details we hadn't even discussed beforehand. The quality of Alissa's work is outstanding, especially considering the value we got for our budget. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to any couple looking to perfectly preserve the memories of their special day.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

We love photography because we get to see people smile, laugh and be joyful.

Hi! I’m the “Eric” part of Eric Donahue Photography. I am a father to three amazing and talented young adults (you may see them on the website or on the walls of our studio). I have a beautiful wife that is my partner and second set of eyes when I need them. Finally, I’m remarkably lucky to make a living doing what I truly love. Photography is my passion. Photos and images last for a very long time, maybe forever. I strive to make sure the images you share with the world make you look your absolute BEST. Let’s get started. What in the world are you waiting for?

Eric is AMAZING at what he does. When we hired him we were at a loss on photographers for our big day because of COVID. Once we went through everything, he told me that we were doing a bridal shoot before the wedding and I was SO nervous. But once I stepped into the studio Eric made me feel like an absolute queen. He let me pick my favorite picture to have on a canvas displayed at my reception and his work is absolutely stunning. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my big day and all of the incredible pictures he took bring me back to those moments every time. His talent is truly unmatched and he is the easiest and funniest person to work with. We would choose him time and time again!

Hi! My name is Lydia and I'm a Nashville Wedding Photographer. While I'm based in Tennessee, I'm more than willing to travel well beyond that. My photography style is light, bright and true to life. My goal is to make you feel at ease in front of the camera and provide photos that you can cherish for the many years to come. We will always take traditional posed photos, but you can expect to receive lots of candid moments in your final gallery. Feel free to reach out and let me know more about you and your vision for your wedding day.

Lydia and her assistant Lanie photographed our wedding at my grandparent’s house. They were both prompt, friendly, professional, and they took the most BEAUTIFUL photos!! All of our guests enjoyed interacting with them, and I am seriously going to have a hard time narrowing down my top favorites because the photos are just fantastic. Lydia even delivered our gallery ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her :)

Hi, sweet bride! I'm Rachael, a Nashville, TN based wedding photographer. I'm your dance floor hype girl, the extra bridesmaid on your wedding day there to celebrate with you, and I always have extra bobby pins to take care of the loose hair that falls as you dance the night away. You've probably got several windows open right now trying to choose your Nashville wedding photographer...and I encourage that! Making this big of a decision that will carry on through your life is huge! It's important that you not only love the photos, but that you also love the person you choose.

I can’t say enough how much I LOVE HARP AND OLIVE PHOTOGRAPHY!!! Rachel is literally so talented and her work is everything I could of ever asked for! Not only are the photos AMAZING, but getting to work with her is so much fun! She makes it so fun, and makes it effortless.

You will not regret it. I have now used her service for our engagement, wedding, maternity, and new born photos. And I plan to continue to use her from her on out! Thank you Harp and Olive for being so amazing and being apart of our journey as a family!!!
