Lili B’s Photography

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Cherokee, NC

Hey there, I'm Lili. I have been capturing love stories for the past 8 years. I started out taking friend's and family's senior and family pictures, and eventually that love for photographing turned into documenting wedding days. I'm all about you being yourself and capturing what makes you, you. The quirky, fun, teasing, and weird love that you have. I will be your professional hype woman, third-wheel, dress buttoner, pocket square folder, tear wiper, and everything in between.

Lili is an amazing choice for a wedding photographer of anything else! She will soon be doing our wedding, but I have to rave after she did our engagement photos. She added us last minute and was incredibly responsive, professional, knew how to capture the look I wanted, was easy to work with, and made us look great! Highly highly recommend!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024.

On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family.

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.

Awarded Best of Zola
Honestly, Danielle's stunning work speaks for itself. I have worked for with personally and professionally, and Danielle is absolutely fantastic. She quickly puts her clients at ease and her excitement and enthusiasm makes photos painless and so enjoyable and she consistently delivers beautiful work to her clients. Danielle goes above and beyond to deliver the very best to her clients. I highly recommend Danielle, you won’t be disappointed!

  • Florist

  • Serves Cherokee, NC

Hello! Mekai here. Welcome to Sparks + Sand Floral Design! •••To start off I’d just like to say thank you. Even if you’re just checking the page out. Thank you! •• I’m here to enhance your events with florals that reflect you best! I was born and raised in Palm Springs, California and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina a little over a year ago now. I am a one-woman team when it comes to my business, but I'm also a fiance and step-mom to two rad kids and I am the happiest I've ever been. I would love nothing more than to connect with you and help you reach your flower dreams!!

Mekai did the florals for my Feb 2023 wedding and I seriously cannot even begin to explain how amazing she was! Actually blew my expectations out of the water. When I saw what she had created the morning of our wedding she actually took my breath away. She took my vision I gave her and made something more beautiful than I ever could have imagined! I live in New York City and honestly, I was struggling for awhile to try to try to find a florist out of Palm Springs that just "gets it". Sometimes I find traditional florists to be a bit boring, stale, repetitive, or way over the top. The other florists out of palm springs felt a little too old school for me or were completely out of my budget. I really wanted something modern and artistic, yet playful, natural and fun. Mekai is a true artist! Not only is her work so beautiful, but she is also the sweetest person ever and a dream to work with! Super responsive and really takes the time to understand your vision. I know as a bride, it can feel a little risky to book a vendor with a smaller amount of reviews, but Mekai is so worth it! Mekai also has a lot lower minimums than a lot of other floral vendors in the area and is extremely affordable which I have never heard any of my friends who have gotten married say about their florals! Mekai's work is such a steal for the impact that she will make on your space and in all of your photos! Seriously run, don't walk, to book! I'm telling you, you will not regret it in the slightest.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Cherokee, NC

My interest in photography sparked when I was young as I watched my dad photograph everything around him. I asked for my first camera when I was 8 years old, and from the first moment it was in my hands, I couldn't put it down. I photographed EVERYTHING from bugs to people to Beanie Babies, filling shoeboxes with negatives and little 3x5 prints. After coloring "backdrops" on notebook paper for each beanie babie and having a full-on photo shoot, I knew photography would be a part of my life forever. :P I photographed my first wedding in November, 2008: over 200 weddings, 7 countries, and 20 states later, and I am still loving every second.

We are soo happy that we had Betsy photographing our weddingday. She made it so special. We felt totally comfortable with her around us. She knew what kind of photos we wanted and gave us what we wanted and more. She is am amazing photographer. but also a great and kind, sweet och easygoing person. We recommend her with all our hearts.

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun! My job doesn't stop at creating timeless photos for you, it extends to offering you a sense of peace and showing you that a wedding/elopement day doesn't have to be stressful. Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Kalypso on our team as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband is historically not the best at genuine looking forced smiles, yet our wedding pictures all turned out so well! Yes, he was very happy on our wedding day, but in the moment when you tell him to pose, it usually doesn't go so well. Kalypso has all sort of tricks up her sleeve to fix this, and she is such a joyous ball of energy that she has us legitimately laughing and smiling the entire time anyways. She was so easy to coordinate with, and her communication and promptness are on point. On to the most important part though - the pictures! They are AMAZING!! They perfectly capture the best day of our lives and work in all the little details so well. We are having a hard time figuring out what to frame where in our house - there are that many PERFECT pictures. It was Kalypso's first day shooting a wedding at our specific venue, and you would would think it was her own house based on how well she captured it all and worked so well in the space. I will certainly be trying to work with her for future life photoshoots and recommending her to all my friends!

First, my mom failed to read our contract correctly and had the whole family up at sunrise for a shoot instead of 6:45pm. Among the large family group were our twins who would’ve been an absolute nightmare had we stuck with the original time slot we agreed to. The photographer was so kind and flexible and showed up the next morning on short notice to accommodate our group. Not only does my mom hate having her photo taken, our family pet has been sick with cancer for some time now and they did such a wonderful job capturing all of the love and joy surrounding my mom and our beloved pet. Last, my wife and I are a same-sex couple and not all photographers have been the most comfortable to work with in the past. This team is professional and friendly and treated our little family and marriage the same as she did my sisters by offering to take romantic pictures and recognizing our relationship appropriately. It really is the small things that matter and I can’t recommend this team enough.

On the big day, JoElla not only did a fabulous job with our hair and makeup - creating absolutely beautiful looks that made us feel like our best selves - she also graciously helped with little details beyond beauty that we didn't know how to handle ourselves. Her work was worth every penny and more. We couldn't have felt more confident and beautiful walking down the aisle, thanks to JoElla. She was professional and friendly, and a joy to work with. We'd recommend JoElla's services to any bride looking for flawless hair and makeup on her wedding day from someone who will take great care of you!

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

While I didn’t use her for a wedding — I most certainly will once I get married! Morgan’s floral arrangements are so well done that I asked to purchase some to decorate my home. Her customer service and attention to detail is out of this world. 10/10 recommend.

One thing I have heard many of my clients say is that I made them feel comfortable and relaxed during their wedding or session. It really makes sense because I enjoy what I do so much so that I usually have a "blast" with my clients. Being comfortable is essential to getting great shots, and I strive to be myself and let clients be themselves as well! I realize that I'm not the photographer for everyone, and that's one reason I spend time getting to know my potential clients to find out what they want and need in their images. It really is important to me that we have a great professional connection. I love documenting life as it happens!

James is amazing to work with. He had very flexible schedules and turnaround time is very quick!

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.

My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

It took us less than 24 hours after our first meeting with them to know they were who we wanted on our wedding day, and I am SO glad we did. They made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and more than that, they made it FUN. We felt special and joyful and so full of love the entire time we worked with them. They made our day flow flawlessly, keeping us on track while still letting us ENJOY the day. They just went above and beyond in every way - whether it be getting down on their knees to help me switch into my reception shoes or running around cocktail hour to find the friend who was in charge of bustling my dress, they did so much more than just take our photos. But those photos… let me tell you, when I first saw our sneak previews, I full on cried. And the full gallery, OH MAN. I don’t know how they managed to perfectly capture every emotion we felt that day while still making us look amazing (my husband and I were definitely ugly crying for a good portion of our first look couples portraits!), but I can’t even put into words what it felt like to look at those photos for the first time. Simply put - we’re obsessed with these two. Laura and Rachel have our business for LIFE. I’m already trying to plan a ten year vow renewal just so we can share the day with them again! (Kidding, but not really ;) ). Take it from me - hiring these two will be the easiest and best decision you will make during your wedding planning process. We love you, Laura and Rachel!!!

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

Kristi was so great and allowed us to have a stress-free vacation! Because of her recommendations and guidance, we were able to bypass a very long immigration line at the airport. She also recommended a friendly and reliable driver who told us about the island and showed us spots that the tourist buses don't go. She was always available during our whole trip if we had questions or needed suggestions. I will never book another trip without her!

Photography has always been a part of my life in some shape or form. As a young girl, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a photographer. I wasn't sure what kind I would be or how I would get there, but here I am as a wedding and elopement photographer. I value serving my couples first, and creating stunning images second. Capturing your unique love story is so important to me. In every session, I want you guys to fall in love all over again. My goal that you leave your session with a smile on your face and a heart overflowing with joy. It is always a pleasure to serve couples in love!

Catherine was amazing and so helpful. We have absolutely loved all of our engagement pictures and the sneak peek we've seen from the wedding. She is super responsive and was even able to help me find a hair & makeup vendor! Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Catherine!

Hey there, I'm Celeste – wife, mom, goat farmer, & your go-to elopement & wedding photographer! When I'm not chasing goats or herding kids (the human kind), you'll find me exploring the great outdoors – hiking, floating in lakes, road-trippin' like there's no tomorrow. Originally from Vermont, I've been around the block (and across the country), but nothing beats the magic of the Smoky Mountains. I'm living the dream in TN, capturing love stories all over WNC and East TN. Photography isn't just a job for me; it's my heart and soul. A Pisces by nature, I'm all about creative storytelling. I'm here to make your love story epic.

I have worked with Celeste through my maternity pictures, my family shoot with our sweet baby, and now for our wedding in March 2024. She is organized, punctual, kind, open minded, has great communication and is an absolute beauty to work with. She has given me a new perspective into the world of small business and whole heartedly is one of the best women I know. We have formed a bond through her work and become the best of friends and I can’t wait to see all of your beautiful pictures, and events in her portfolio!

Hey there – we're glad you're here. We're a husband-and-wife wedding and portrait photography duo based in Chapel Hill, NC. We photograph weddings in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area and all over the Southeast.

Indie Bird Photo is the greatest of all time- I cannot recommend them highly enough! Above all else, Nate and Emma are both genuinely great people who are an absolute joy to be around on your wedding day (and otherwise.) They photographed our engagement session, our wedding, and even joined us for our rehearsal dinner- and each time, it felt like working with our friends. Most importantly, their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. They are both extremely talented, experienced, and they captured our wedding in the most beautifully authentic way. They brought my dream of candid/documentary style/old school film/black and white photos to life with such ease. Nate sent us a sneak peak gallery within 24 hours of our wedding- which legitimately moved me to tears. I was blown away by the way that Nate and Emma shared all of our joy and excitement and documented it all in the most beautifully artistic photos. It was so meaningful to be able to see (and share!) our photos that quickly. Our families/friends/other vendors/my coworkers, etc. cannot stop gushing about how beautiful the photos are- and we've only seen a few! Our wedding day would not have been the same without them, and I cannot thank them enough.
