Gage Horne Studios

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Cherokee, NC for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to start, Gage is hands down the best videographer we spoke to. We hired him to shoot our wedding. On the Oregon coast with drone and several hours of coverage. He is extremely professional and responded to every question I had. We received our video in the time he promised and he kept me updated every step of the way. I would work with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to EVERYONE. Our video was beyond special and something we will treasure for years to come. If you are looking for a reliable, talented, and passionate videographer you need to look no further than Gage!!!

How do we even begin to say how amazing she was? As soon as we saw that Gabriella described her personality as the color yellow, we knew she was the one for us, and she proved time and time again that we were right. From our first zoom call to our finished gallery, she was a joy to work with. She made everything so easy, from questionnaires to our engagement shoot. She made our wedding day feel effortless. We were both worried about being awkward in front of a camera, but she gave lots of wonderful prompts and little games that were easy and fun for us to do, and left us with stunning pictures we were in absolute awe of. Gabriella does everything with such a personalized touch, which really made us feel special. On your big day, she is not just your photographer, she is your biggest fan and the best hype girl you could hope for, and she was willing to help with any aspect of your day, not just pictures. Need a hairpin tucked? Gabriella's got you. Looking for a guest? She is on it! Did you miss the milkshake shots as they went by? Gabby's got your back! From start to finish, Gabriella and her team really were more than we could have ever imagined. Big shoutout to Connie and Sam! Thank you for everything 3

Wow. We truly can't recommend Demi, Delaney, Alyssa and the Wilder Mind team enough. They were absolutely amazing and truly contributed to the smoothness and ease of our wedding day. My husband and I typically consider ourselves to be a bit of control freaks, but working with Demi and Delaney we were able put our complete faith in them, let our guard down, and know that their team had it all covered. We used Wilder Mind's Day of wedding coordination services and they were on point from day one of working together pre wedding. The team was so experienced and proactive in the planning calls, thorough details, and overall organization. Having Wilder Mind cover all the minute details for the wedding and thinking of things we never would have thought to consider like ceremony seating, timeline details, and overall wedding etiquette was a huge comfort for us amidst the stress of wedding planning. We had our full trust in Demi that she would handle it, and handle it she did. Demi and Alyssa were thoughtful enough to even record 70 videos and photos for us throughout the night and shared them with us before they left, it was so nice to get to relive the beauty of such a special night after it had just flown by! Having the Wilder Mind team behind us took so much stress off our plates and the cherry on top was that they made us feel like celebrities throughout the night! At the end of the night, back in our hotel room, exhausted and deliriously happy - we both agreed, working with the WilderMind team was some of the best money we spent for our wedding.

With over 20+ years of photography experience, capturing life's smallest and biggest moments has been a passion of mine. Being able to encapsulate these candid moments is such a privilege; one that we don't take lightly!

Jenn is an amazing and versatile photographer who expertly captured our special moments, could instantly spot beautiful backdrops, guided us the entire way, and has been so fun and easy to work with! She has created and edited beautiful photos of us, our family, and our dogs in multiple settings such as our cozy backyard and historical venues in Boston. Her expertise for photography and her eye for beauty, shines through her work and she has been hands down one of the best investments we’ve made as our wedding photographer. She made sure she knew exactly what we wanted and helped us when we weren’t sure, as weddings can be stressful too. We couldn’t thank you enough Jenn!

Blue Dahlia Photography

  • Serves Cherokee, NC for additional fees

My name is Rabeeh and I'm new to ZOLA (you can see over 250 reviews on my Knot profile). When I first started taking pictures, I can honestly say that I didn't plan on becoming a wedding photographer. Most other photographers I socialized with would tell me how stressful and demanding wedding photography could be. Over a decade and numerous weddings later, I must strongly disagree! I want you to relax, breathe deeply, and experience every moment of your wedding with as little worry or concern as possible. A little about myself, I am an easy going guy who enjoys numerous hobbies ranging from collecting antique cameras to the art of bonsai.

We found Blue Dahlia on the Knot in 2015 after our first choice photographer decided she was not longer available on our wedding day. We were planning our Nashville wedding from Los Angeles. Truthfully I booked Rabeeh just from talking to him on the phone, never once seeing a single photo. He was so calming and confident to a stressed out bride I knew we could work well alongside each other. I was very picky about certain styles and details of photos I wanted, basically I was super difficult. He communicated well with me and delivered an amazing product. He even took the time to get certain photos just right to make sure we were happy. Every person has said how beautiful all of our photos are. We have continued a professional relationship and he is the only person I send my friends to, and call for all my photo needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erika was the BEST choice!!! She is detail-oriented, always prepared, and so enjoyable to work with. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed because she was always calm - it gave me such confidence! I did the month-of package which is great for the bride that still wants to be mostly planning it but does not want to handle all of the details the month of. It was the perfect package for me to be stress-free in knowing she was following up with every vendor. Honestly though, working with Erika was so smooth, I probably would do her full-service package if I were having a do-over. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. Even my guests were coming up to me and speaking so highly about how well she handled the weather issues and little things. All a bride wants is a stress-free experience and you will get that with Erika! 3

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

Do you dream of: A romantic ceremony filled with enchanting melodies? An elegant cocktail hour where guests mingle to beautiful music? An unforgettable first dance? Aloha Erica curates a personalized soundscape you and your guests will be raving about forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd summarize Erica in three words: thoughtful, professional, and most importantly, talented. Erica approaches her craft with you in mind. She takes the time to listen to your wants in an effort to tailor her performance to your day. For example, Erica spent the time to discuss everything from what we wanted the day to feel like to specific song requests. We selected a song she hadn't performed (Fields of Gold by Kina Grannis). She took the time to learn the song to ensure our wedding day tracked our expectations, and she did a fantastic job to boot! From start to finish, Erica operated like a well oiled machine. She knows how to fit into your wedding timeline and who to coordinate with to ensure a smooth process — she takes this burden off your plate. For example, Erica reached out to us when she knew it was time to start discussing our music and she took the initiative to reach out to our wedding planner to coordinate everything from when she sings, the audio set up, etc. I didn't have to double check or follow up with her once, and the day went flawlessly. Lastly, and again, most importantly, Erica is an amazing singer and musician. She can sing everything from upbeat classics to the slow song you select for your first dance. Many of our guests raved about Erica and the class and charm she brought to our day. Her voice, guitar skills, and presence is of high quality, and she was a huge value add to our wedding day. I can't recommend Erica enough. If you hire her, you won't be disappointed — I promise!

Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

I would not recommend many when it comes to live music work but her work on the harp is truly an art. You will never go wrong with trusting her to provide music and atmosphere for your event.

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

There is not enough good things we can say about Sarah! From day 1, she had great communication before the proposal while deciding the perfect location and how we would meet up with her. She executed flawlessly and I never saw her until the ring was on my finger even though she followed us for a bit before the big moment. She made us feel so comfortable for the photoshoot after and was willing to go to a few different spots with us all while carrying all of our stuff so it wouldn’t be in our pockets for the pictures. We received the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away with how well they turned out, she nailed it!! She got the big “I do” moment which was most important and then captured so many other sweet moments right before and after that I will forever be so grateful we can relive because of her photos. The best thing about her is that you can feel the joy coming out of the screen when you look through her galleries. So many people have raved over how well our engagement photos turned out. Everyone should book Sarah, she is so great at what she does!!

We cannot say enough good things about Erica and Erica Johanna Photography. Erica was fabulous to work with and through down to the last detail and informational form. One of my friends had actually had Erica photograph her wedding so I got to witness how she worked and how seamless she made the busy wedding day and knew we had to have her shoot our day! She is thoughtful, creative and works very efficiently. She is kind, respectful and friendly to all! Our parents could not say enough good things about her on the wedding day. We loved how our engagement photos turned out and how she made sure to incorporate the color details and colors into our portraits. We are anxiously awaiting our wedding day photos and know we are in the best of hands with Erica! We could not say enough good things about Erica and would recommend her to anyone! Erica does more than weddings, engagement photos, seniors and families.

We discovered Leah on Zola, and right from our first conversation, we knew she was the one. Her experience and artistic eye were exactly what we wanted to capture our dream wedding. Leah made the whole process stress-free with her clear communication and warm personality. On the big day, Leah walked into a whirlwind of activity, but she calmly focused and started capturing the magic. She helped me stay relaxed and assured me everything would be perfect – I'll never forget that. Leah's photos are simply breathtaking. She's a true artist who captured every detail just as I imagined. She made sure we had time for portraits, but also caught those spontaneous, joyful moments that made our day so special. We are beyond thrilled with the photos Leah delivered. The cherry on top was seeing how excited Leah was at the wedding – she even quickly edited a photo on the spot! It showed she was genuinely invested in our happiness. Can't wait to work with Leah again for our future big life-moments!
