Growing up, I was obsessed with magical love stories. Fairy tale love stories always left me with a euphoric feeling. I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

Words could never explain how appreciative and outstanding Caitlin is! We booked Caitlin for engagement pictures, bridals and of course the big day! Her and her husband made us feel so comfortable and really kept the shoots fun for us. She is wonderful with communication, talent, and always on time. She made the entire process from start to finish such a breeze! In our package we added on the Photo Booth and I must say it is soooo worth it our guest couldn’t get enough of it so I highly recommend adding it on. This was our party favor and you get unlimited photo strips. We also had the photo album added on and she went above and beyond our expectations and made our album better than we could’ve ever imagined or done ourselves. The point is if you’ve made it this far then YES you better jump on it and book Caitlin and her husband because they are the best team!

Congratulations!! What an exciting time in your life! I am truly honored that you have taken then time to consider me as your wedding photographer. Here's some fun facts about me... I am obsessed with sunsets, pickles are my favorite food, and espresso and tequila are my favorite drinks! I'm a mom of 3 teenagers, I have photographed a living president, and I've always lived close to water, but the mountains are my favorite place! Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer, I've acted in a movie, and I've watched every Marvel movie in chronological order. My biggest bucket list item is to travel the world and photograph in other countries!

Terah was absolutely amazing! She truly exceeded our expectations. She came fully prepared with a shot list and easily worked around some hiccups we had along the way. Our teaser photos turned out amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest. I cannot recommend her enough!

We're Jaira + Jesse. We’re equal parts homebodies and avid travelers. We had a traditional wedding, and while it was the right decision for us at the time, looking back it could’ve been so much more intentional, focused on us + our relationship, and the things we’re the most passionate about. Because of that, we have grown to be super passionate and dedicated to helping couples create elopements and intimate weddings that are the truest reflection of themselves in the places that inspire them the most and documenting that for them.

Jaira and Jesse were absolutely incredible. My wedding was anything but normal thanks to Covid... they both stuck with me the entire way and went above and beyond to make sure they would make it(now to another state) to capture my wedding. They even helped me day of and did more than I could’ve ever expected to help make sure it all ran smooth just because that’s the kind of people they are. Their character speaks volumes for their work and their love and passion for photography speaks for itself in my pictures. I would recommend them time and time again as they were such a memorable part of my special day. Thanks guys for everything!

My modus operandi, or MO, is a bit mountain peakish, a bit jump on any train going anywhere-ish, a bit lost down an alley in Cairo-ish, stuck on a dhow in Oman, flying too fast down a black diamond ski run, sky diving to cure a broken heart, scuba diving to avoid social interaction & talking, world traveling to loose myself so I can find myself. And for the last few decades this wild one becalmed herself and became a Special Needs advocating, mother of four. I am love. I am anger. I am sadness. I am joy. I am like you. I wash dishes and cook food, clean up after other people and pay bills.

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold! I came to a crossroad after my son was born of whether I should return to work or pursue my passion with photography. Let’s just say I took a jump and went into business around 2012. It’s been a daring journey with the most awesome clients ever!

After graduating college my goal was to coach and work in the fitness industry. Long hours and the realization that I was working really hard to make someone else a lot of money led me to entrepreneurship. I left a job in 2019 to start my own business. That little business is now my career! My love for photography and helping other families like mine preserve memories has only grown since starting my own family. My kids are my "why" and I truly believe being a mother and a wife has made me a better businesswoman.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Awarded Best of Zola
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11 years, but I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil – and I’ve been in love with stories just as long. Of all the ways to create a life around storytelling and art, I’m so glad to have found this one: weddings are filled with stories both intimate and profound, and with elements of beauty that delight the artist in me. I love the challenge of seeking, finding and capturing the beauty I see, and telling your story as I see it unfolding before me.

The first thing people mention about our wedding is how beautiful the pictures turned out. I was specifically looking for a candid-style photographer whose exposure remained consistent & correct throughout the night, and Ayesha delivered more than I could have hoped for. She was polite, professional, and so fast! Not only was her turnaround time short, but she practically managed to be in two places at once to capture every perfect shot. We are so grateful that we got the chance to work with her, and look forward to hiring her again for our next special occasion.

Hi! I’m Patience! Thank you for checking out my portfolio! I am a destination photographer specializing in weddings and life events. I’m originally from Africa and a hopeless romantic who loves love. I am here to help you turn your vision into reality the way you want it no matter where it takes place.

If you’re looking for someone who will get the job done and go above and beyond, Patty is the one. She has a keen eye for detail and not to mention, her editing is close to true to color and is not over saturated. I absolutely love light and airy. I hired Patty because her photos were amazing! Can I say magazine worthy? Not only that, I have a tan complexion and my husband is white, I needed someone who could capture and edit both our skin tones the right way, which I feel like is hard for a lot of photographers. I’m so happy I didn’t turn out look orange or yellow. She definitely has a diverse portfolio which drew me in. Also, as a seasoned wedding professional myself, I can say Patty is very dedicated to making sure you get everything you asked for. She executes seamlessly, no doubt! Not to mention she’s so fun to be around, which is a bonus!!

What I'm looking for- I looking for real, happy couples who want all the moments of their joy-filled day captured in a real and beautiful way. whoops... wrong profile.... ehhh it works. lol

My husband and I planned our wedding for 2020... before the world went haywire, and Holly rode the wave with us from beginning to end. Between reschedules, engagement photos, her photographing our spur of the moment small elopement, and then our big wedding celebration and vow renewal this year with family and friends, I can say with complete confidence I know her work ethic and her commitment to her craft. And they are both top notch. She will do anything to get the perfect shot, she will make your nervous partner more than comfortable being themselves in front of the camera, and she will even pin a boutonnière (because this bride could not!!) when in need. We have so many perfect moments captured I can't even begin to thank her for, because with the right photographer you can relive a moment over and over. You will not be disappointed if you choose Holly for your special day!

I am a natural light photographer. Moved here to Florida 5 years ago from Illinois. I am a wife and a mother of 3 wonderful boys. Located in Freeport ,Florida but I serve from the Emerald Coast from Fort Walton Beach to Panama City Beach and surrounding areas. I am starting to get into more travel with my photography and will also travel to destinations. I photograph from families, couples to Senior's along with weddings and elopements. Looking forward to another great Year and meeting new families!

Sweet Sunkissed Photography was an amazing choice for our wedding day! Kim had great communication with us throughout the entire process and was a true professional. The quality of her work was absolutely stunning - the photos she captured truly brought our special day to life. Kim worked tirelessly to get every shot we wanted, running all over the venue to make sure she didn't miss a moment. She was so kind, fun, and kept us on track the entire day, which was especially helpful given the layout of our venue. Kim was a breath of fresh air compared to some other photographers we had met, as she was never pushy and always remained cool, calm, and collected. We knew our photos were going to be incredible even before she delivered them, and they exceeded all of our expectations. We highly recommend Sweet Sunkissed Photography for any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience!

Courtney Hathaway Photography

Born & raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I've been capturing love stories for over 15 years. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 10 years, and raising our two sweet boys on this little sandbar we call home is a dream come true. While we are based on the OBX, we happily serve couples on the Outer Banks and Beyond, and enjoy spending the winter months in Costa Rica.

If you need a photographer, Courtney Hathaway is the one to hire! Fun, caring and talented are just a few words to begin with. My husband and I are both camera shy and from day 1 of shooting our engagement, Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.
