Nina Marin Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Arden, NC for additional fees

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras to using flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

I'd been following Nina Marin on Instagram for a number of years so once I got engaged, I knew exactly who to reach out to to capture my engagement shoot and elopement. As someone who cringes at being in front of the camera, she made me feel at ease and didn't hesitate to pose us or adjust our awkward hands/faces/etc. The pictures we got back felt like us — Nina was able to capture not only the visual aspects of our special day, but also the sheer bliss. I'm so grateful to have worked with such an easygoing and trustworthy photographer.

We originally hadn’t planned on having anyone do videography, but since so many that we loved couldn’t be at our wedding due to COVID-19 restrictions we wanted to have a video to share with them. I’m so glad we did! Laura worked with our last minute wedding plan changes and the video is above and beyond what I ever could have imagined! Not only was it an amazing video to share with friends and family, but it’s something I will treasure forever as I look back on that day. Thanks so much, Laura!

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt and Karese have been so helpful through the planning process. From the moment we booked even until after our wedding they made sure we had a great experience. I can go on and on about why you should book them but one thing that stands out more than the rest to me is on the day of our wedding, Matt noticed our crowd liked to be outside rather than inside where he originally had setup. Recognizing that, he asked us if we would be ok (after the formalities finished) if he moved his set outside to better serve our guests. Of course we said yes and it took him 5 minutes to switch locations mid wedding and nobody even noticed because he had music playing on a speaker inside the whole time he moved his stuff. Bow Tied Weddings definitely goes above and beyond for their couples! I recommend booking them for any event!

Hey y’all! I'm Michaela, the face behind Savvy Sapphic. I’ve been obsessed with party planning since I was a kid. In 2023, I married my partner, Gwen. And while planning our wedding, I found that there weren’t many resources available for queer or non-traditional marriers like us. So, I decided to create my own planning service that specializes in alternative events. From epic queer weddings to mind-blowing themed bashes, I'm here to create a celebration that's totally unique and totally you! Let's make your special day an absolute blast! ✨🌈💍

Michaela has planned multiple events for our family over the last 10 years, including my daughter’s wedding.

I would absolutely recommend Savvy Sapphic Events and will use them again for my next celebration!

LA HAIR AND MAKEUP

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 5
  • Serves Arden, NC for additional fees

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

LA Hair and Makeup did a PHENOMENAL job with my wedding hair and makeup! Ashanta (the owner) is so kind, professional, brilliant, and talented. She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly. I wanted my own hair and makeup look to be sort of vintage-inspired and natural, and I truly could not have been happier with how my bridal hair and makeup turned out— Ashanta is a genius!!

  • Serves Arden, NC for additional fees

Welcome to Franzi Annika Photography, where elegance meets the artistry of visual storytelling. We are Franzi and Martin – a husband-wife duo. While our European roots shape our style, our dedication to the art of photography is what guides us. Through our in-the-moment, meticulous focus on the finer details, we create a collection of genuine narratives preserved on film. These photographs will continue to reflect the emotional depth of your celebration for generations to come.

You won’t find photographers more skilled or personable than Franzi and Martin! They photographed our engagement in Charleston, SC, rehearsal dinner and wedding in Boston, MA. We cannot recommend them highly enough for your next engagement session, wedding, or event! Working with them was a dream and we feel so lucky to have met them. First, if you took all the photography away, Franzi and Martin will enhance your wedding day just by being a part of it. They are warm, funny and fit right in with the gals/guys and families. They also got along and coordinated so well with our venue, floral designer and planner - everyone loved working with them. We all felt so comfortable around them and this is reflected in the natural, beautiful photos. They are also incredibly professional, prepared and organized. The morning of the wedding, they had already scouted and planned all of the locations for the first look, family and bridal party photos, and husband/wife shots. We didn’t have to do or think about a thing in terms of photos the entire day - we just followed their lead! During the ceremony and reception, they were so subtle in taking their photos. We were able to enjoy the day without it feeling like a photoshoot. The photos were simply stunning. We have gotten so many compliments on how unique and personal our photos are. Most importantly, they feel like us, because Franzi and Martin got to know us throughout this process. We had such a hard time putting together an album because we had too many favorites to choose from! One of the guiding values for choosing our wedding vendors was to find true artists who are passionate about their craft and then trust them to work their magic. Franzi and Martin are just that - artists. We wanted them to have complete creative control and freedom and would encourage everyone who works with them to do the same - your photos will be gorgeous, and your wedding day memories will be made better because Franzi and Martin were there.

Hey there! I'm Arianna. I started Rare Raven Studio (previously McCormick Design and Photography) back around 2013. I had grown up around cameras and always loved whatever I could get my hands on. Film, digital, video, you name it. It wasn't until I had my daughter that I really started taking anything seriously though. All of the sudden, I had a reason to stay consistent in my documentation. The rest is pretty much history. A few of my favorite things: Darth Vader, the Space Jam soundtrack, traveling, DC comics, Mac & Cheese, chicken marsala, more cheese, serial killer and mythology podcasts, and allll the doggos!

Ari keeps you filled in all along the way providing you with everything you need. Her photos are AMAZING and she makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed through it all.

I studied photography at Savannah College of Art and Design and started my freelance photography career when I graduated in 2016!

We did and Engagement shoot, 10 hours for our wedding, and will be doing some maternity photos here in a couple months as well! If you are looking for someone who is friendly, and gets creative with any type of person she is your girl!

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Barnstorm isn't a "wedding" band. They're a band. A really great band. And that makes them the best wedding band, in our opinion. We went to one of their live shows before booking them to play at our wedding and we knew immediately they were perfect. The band is 7 guys who you would want to be friends with -- which makes them blend in seamlessly at a wedding. Their range of songs is awesome. Everyone raved about their playlist, including a few of our guests who are huge music snobs. They also did an awesome job of getting everyone involved. People were dancing, singing along, even getting a second or two on the mic. It was like having a private live show at our wedding, which we loved and all of our guests loved. The vibe is much better than other wedding bands we've seen. On top of that they were incredibly easy to work with and accommodating. Brooks never made us feel bad for requesting songs, no matter how random, and they learned anything we asked them to that they had the right instruments for. Overall it was an awesome experience and we could not possibly recommend them enough. If every wedding we go to in the future has Barnstorm as the band, we'll be thrilled.

Congratulations on your big day! Now it's time to get down to the nitty gritty details! We've all been there, and we know how stressful this is regardless of the size of your wedding, but we're here to help! Consider us your big day besties! We're here to help however you need; EVEN on a small budget! Whether that's finding an officiant willing to drive to your hometown, hand gluing the flowers onto your centerpieces, or making sure your mother in law doesn't try to wear her bridal gown from the 80's to your wedding. We've seen it all, and we'll work with you to make your dream day come true.

Catering for this planner was challenging, but fulfilling. I'm based in a different state, but I offer a specific cultural Puerto Rican food that the family desired. Needless to say, they did their research for this family! I planned from a distance but I delivered what I needed to deliver. To me, the food was good and it had choices. Setting up to serve the food was a feat, but what made the difference serving it was the help from your the FWS staff. It reminded me why I love what I do, and I hope to work with them again.

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam was our girl from the beginning. She encouraged our pups in our engagement photos and worked around their lack of being photogenic. She pushed us, comfortably, out of our comfort zone. She was found by my Maid of Honor on Instagram and I immediately knew her style was what I had been looking for. When it came to wedding day I was most excited to see not only our photographer, but a friend. She was supportive, easy to work with and guided us in the right direction when needed. She knocked out our photos in a timely manor while positioning and giving great direction as to where to move to make the picture look better (something that was important to me). I am happy to scream her name for recommendations from now on & return to her in the future!

I love it because I love my people and I love this earth and I love connection and growing things and all I ever want to do is preserve it.

Cecilia was our wedding photographer’s second shooter and we are so happy to have met her! My husband Earl was quite apprehensive about taking photos (he has about 2 smiles in him and then he’s over it!) but Cecilia hung out with the groom’s party before the ceremony and made all of the guy’s very comfortable and took some great candid photos! During pre-ceremony photos, in addition to taking photos, Cecilia was so kind and helped me with my train/veil when we were walking around the venue finding picture perfect spots! Thank you for making our wedding day so enjoyable, Cecilia!

Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

My goal is to make film videography accessible and memorable for everyone who wants their special moments captured. After learning and teaching Super8 videography for my own elopement and micro-wedding 2 years ago, I wanted to develop my business to offer Super8 to all! I specialize in couples, elopements, and micro-weddings. My average pricing depends on the event type, duration, and details!

My now-fiancé surprised me by having a super8 film taken of our engagement and I am so beyond words. Kiley made sure to catch all the important moments as well as the little details that only a trained eye would notice. She captured our engagement and love story so beautifully and now we have this amazing video to look back on the rest of our lives. I promise super 8 is a worthwhile investment. You won’t regret booking Kiley!

I'm Megan, founder of Radiant Film NC. I created Radiant Film NC to help couples have a tangible, lasting memory of their wedding. I LOVE filming weddings for couples and creating something beautiful they can go back and watch to remember the best day of their lives by.

Megan is my sister but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. While she was doing her MOH duties her team was behind the scenes handling everything so professionally so she could be in the moment with me. She still jumped in when she could for some extra behind the scenes footage with her 1st ever super 8 film at a wedding. Megan and her team are the most kind hearted and go the extra mile to make sure every detail and moment of your day is absolutely perfect. If I have learned anything from being married it would have to be pay for the extras and the add ons because these moments will be memories in the blink of an eye! Make sure to check out the super 8 on her website or inquire about it because it is so worth it! I also recommend adding on the raw footage of your day because that feels more real than anything just hearing those moments from that day over again brings you the best feeling. So I say this as a bride and not a sister you MUST book Radiant Film and definitely inquire about the add ons! Find videos on her website or social media pages.

Hi! I'm Dani! I am originally from The United Kingdom, now residing in Florida, and have over 10 years experience as a vocalist. I use my love of music for those couples who want to incorporate a live singer with a versatile background, and a positive personality to add a memorable addition to one of the most important days of your lives. I believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your love story, and so I strive to create a unique and personalized experience for you, from the initial consultation to the last dance, through music.

Dani sang for my small wedding and her vocal range is absolutely spectacular, everyone had such an amazing night and no one was sitting around bored. Her audience work was amazing and kept everyone upbeat. She was really easy to work with and schedule with, she was able to create a package for me that suited all my needs. I would highly recommend Dani for any event, I will be booking with her again.

I love what I get to do!! It’s my PASSION! I enjoy capturing all of the beautiful and unscripted moments. I love how every wedding is different and each one presents its unique moments that I seek after. I also do photography but I gotta say, there’s something extra special about being able to bring those photos to life and turning them into your own movie, so that you can relive every moment of your day instead of just seeing them in pictures. You get to feel the emotions and relive the moments with loved ones.

Alex is super friendly and fun to work with! He has a positive attitude and lots of energy that keeps his shoots exciting. His pictures are also great! I love the style of his editing. You can tell that he really loves what he does. I’d highly recommend him as a photographer/videographer for your event.

Alexa is AMAZING!! She is so professional, helpful, and definitely worth every penny! A videographer is something we decided later on and she was so affordable!

I want you to be able to look back on these photos in 20 years and feel everything you felt on your wedding day. Together we’ll plan a day that doesn’t just fly by, but is full of fun, laughter, and memorable moments. No matter how your day plays out, it’s going to be magical, and I’ll be there every moment to capture it. I describe my work as documentary, timeless, and authentic. If this sounds like your vision for your wedding day, let's get this party started!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about her and her work. We found Ally through my brother as he hired her for his wedding in Georgia. Even though our wedding would be in NJ, after seeing my brother's photos, my husband and I knew we needed to fly her up for our own wedding. Since Ally had never been to our venue before, she made sure to fly in a few days early and schedule a walk through of our venue. She had assured us that she does destination weddings frequently and would be able to adapt to any setting. She certainly kept that promise. By the day of the wedding, it was like Ally had been to our venue a million times. She knew all the best spots to take photos and transitioning from each of those spots was absolutely seamless. Another great thing about Ally is her demeanor. She is so kind, warm, and calm. Having a presence like that on your wedding day is priceless especially when you have a big family/wedding party. I cannot thank Ally enough for helping us pull together our family, friends, and loved ones so that we could take every photo we wanted to on the timeline we outlined. Not only is Ally extremely organized and professional but her work is amazing. Ally asked me to create a Pinterest board of photos I liked - on the day of the wedding, it was clear she had studied the gallery and knew the exact vibe I wanted. With or without the Pinterest board, she has her own great artistic eye and directed a lot of great shots. I expected to have a few photos I loved from my wedding day but Ally provided us with an endless number of photos we love. I have gotten multiple comments from friends/family on our photos and my cousin even wants to fly her up for when she gets married. We had some older relatives/grandparents at the wedding and it meant a lot to our parents that Ally was able to capture so many beautiful photos with them. On top of all of this, Ally is also extremely timely. Our wedding was on a Friday and by Sunday night we had our sneak peak which was 150-200 photos fully edited. She then provided our entire wedding gallery right on the timeline she initially stated. Not having to follow up or track her down for our photos was just the cherry on top of the entire experience. To summarize - I cannot recommend Ally enough whether that be for your wedding, engagement shoot, etc. Ally is responsive, kind, so talented, and helpful. Thank you Ally for capturing our special day!!
