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.

Her stunning work is truly a work of art, as she managed to beautifully capture our wedding party and guests in a wonderfully candid way. Mandy made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the care she took behind it showed in the amazing photos. Having Mandy photograph both our engagement and wedding days was such a special experience - she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and brought our love story to life with the nature-filled photos.

Knowing firsthand how special this moment is, and how nervous you may feel, my mission is to make you comfortable and be true to yourself.  I love candid shots that show emotions and at times are editorial. I use a mix of color and black and white in your galleries and my style leans toward warm deep tones.

Kendal is the best!!! She was our photographer/videographer for our wedding on the HOTTEST day of the year and she never complained once! She took her time getting all the shots we wanted, did a wonderful job on our photos and videos, and she was SO FUN to work with. I wish I could hire her again!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. With a little browsing and a little reading, the answers you seek will reveal themselves so please feel free to look around. I love to document real moments so if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

Let me tell y’all about this amazing chic! She came in and saved the day! We lost our photographer about 2 weeks before our wedding, we knew it wasn’t the right fit for us. I reached out to Ashley Painter Photography and she made time in her busy schedule ( while finishing grad school, being a mom, wife, and running a business!) to travel 2 hours each way to capture our day. Not to mention working hand in hand with our DJ on a timeline of events to make sure she was in the right spot at the right time to capture the best shots! Our contract said allow 16 weeks for full gallery, she said “ girl, don’t you worry, I won’t make you wait that long” and here we are, 3 weeks later and completely surprised, she delivered a full gallery of the most amazing moments of our day. If you’re ever in the Charleston, South Carolina area and need some pictures done remember to call the best! It’s so much more than just snapping pictures

I will preface this by saying I have not booked Lexy for my day yet but very much plan on doing so hopefully in the near future. I reached out to Lexy because I had a venue all lined up and was ready to book a photographer and loved her editing and photography style so much. As soon as I reached out she was so sweet and helpful and broke down all prices and even offered to make a custom package depending on what we needed. It ended up not working out with our venue and we have been on the hunt for a new one since then. Throughout the whole process Lexy has checked in to ask how it is going and to offer her assistance in helping us find a venue. She has been incredibly kind and going more than out of her way to help us make our day perfect before we’ve even booked her so I can’t even imagine how amazing she will be on the day of. We look forward to working with her and having her there to achieve our amazing day!

I’ve been doing photography since 2012. There has definitely been a lot of growth and sold cameras through out the years. I’m 100% self taught and I believe that shows in my work. I’m a learn by doing type person. I’m an introvert and somewhat reserved, but I can guarantee I will make some stupid joke that will make you laugh. I enjoy natural light and playing with the sun. I’m a big fan of the unconventional photos that most photographers say no to. I love love. It doesn’t matter who you are, who you love, I want to tell your love story.

Cece and her husband Ben from Ringuette Photo Co. were truly wonderful to work with! She was so communicative and was always available to answer any questions. They suggested the most perfect place to take my bridals and the photos turned out AMAZING! We had a blast with them and can't wait to see our wedding day photos!

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. It is a pleasure, an honor, and a privilege to be a part of these legacies. The core of my business is serving YOU, my clients, my people, my pals.

Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

She listened to our thoughts and needs, and executed them beautifully!! The day of the wedding, she captured every special moment—both big and small—with such precision and artistry. Ashley didn’t just take pictures; she told the story of our day through her lens. Every time we look at our photos, we are transported back to that magical day, reliving the emotions, the laughter, and even the quiet, tender moments we might have missed in the hustle and bustle of it all. Oh and if you are also camera-nervous couple like us, don’t worry, Ashley gets your back!! Her attention to detail and ability made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We were both a little nervous about being photographed, but she had a way of guiding us through each shot in such a relaxed, natural way that we almost forgot we were posing. ;) The final images exceeded all of our expectations!! She perfectly balanced candid shots with more traditional portraits, and the lighting, composition, and timing were just flawless! We looked at our photos and we were both like “who are these stunning people??” We’ve received countless compliments on the photos, our families and friends are still raving about how beautiful and authentic the photos are, and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives!! We’re so grateful to have had Southern & Grace Photography as part of our wedding day—captured the essence of who we are as a couple, and we are very thankful for her professionalism, talent, and the heart she put into her work—truly a highlight of our wedding experience! 10/10 recommended!! :)

Hi I’m Emma, an AR based, traveling photographer! My style is a blend of film, editorial, and artfully nostalgic imagery. I’m an observant documenter at heart. I was heavily raised on indie & coming of age films, so being moved by visuals is my cup of tea!! When it comes to your day, my goal is to direct when needed without interfering with the moment. I want to capture your spouse shedding a tear, your Uncle Jim going for his second plate of food, and your bff busting it down on the dance floor. I prefer to be a fly on the wall for these moments, but put on fergalicious and you leave me no choice but to hit the dance floor.

Every day I get to meet new and unique people who allow me to join them & to capture the most intimate and emotional moments of their lives. I seek couples who have wandering hearts and adventuring souls, Catching that closeness between two people completely in love. The way your hands fit together, the laughter, the way you hold on to each other.. That kind of chemistry, that’s what makes my job so much better, I get to be the one witnesses it, and saves it. I’ll shoot that kind of love all day and twice on a Sunday.

We booked Ashton and another photographer for our wedding and couldn’t be more in love with the photos we came back with! We were picky about what types of photos we wanted—rather than getting a generic shot list because we wanted it to be more about us as the couple, and Ashton was amazing at focusing on the photos we wanted! I still walk by our photos in the house and feel like I can relive the memory of our wedding and am so thankful that we chose her to capture our perfect day! We’ve continued to book her beyond the wedding too! She’s amazing! And we’re so grateful to have had her be a part of our memories!

I could not recommend a better photographer to capture your special moments! Katie goes above and beyond time and time again. You can tell that her photographer is truly her artwork. From her props, to her editing, to all the small details, she puts nothing but love into the pictures she takes. My elopement was a dream come true because of the work Katie put into our special day. She did our floral arrangements and really exceeded all my expectations. And I cant forget to mention, she is such a ray of sunshine to work with and a pleasure to have along on your big day!

I’ve always loved photography. Yet, it wasn’t until 2008 when I began to travel internationally for work that decided to bring my Nikon D750. I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple. Share love, one image at a time.

From the first connection point with Joy throughout the experience, it was if we had known her forever. Her passion for her art perfectly captured our love and JOY. Although she is extremely professional. She and her team quickly became members of our family.
