I mix editorial and documentary style photography for a wedding gallery that feels nostalgic and luxurious. I am here to make the never-shot-before-couple look like they belong in a magazine spread and I will capture candid, living, details and moments on your wedding day that will bring you back to that first touch time and time again. We are a husband and wife team that offers wedding photography and super 8 films. We also have a team of associate photographers for those on a budget.

We couldn't be happier with choosing Brittany as our wedding photographer. She photographed our NYE wedding where she perfectly captured the vintage & timeless vibes we had envisioned. My husband and I don't have experience in being in front of the camera, but Brittany made us feel so comfortable. I am always shocked at how well she captures us on camera. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from friends and family. If you're looking for a photographer who just gets it, hire Brittany. 3

I try to put passionate and creativity into every project that I take on, I strive to craft stress-free photography experiences and images that reflect each couple’s one-of-a-kind romantic bond.

As two introverts getting married, we needed a photographer that would make us feel at ease, forget we even had staff on our day of, but also had a good hand in dealing with guests who liked to get involved in the vendors' craft. Naiya's skillful and gorgeous photos speak for themselves. We really loved working with her not only for our engagement photo session, but also the day of!!! Due to some unforseen emergency family matters, our photos were a bit late. We wish she would have given a bit more proactive communication regarding this. However, the final product was worth the wait!

Holly V Rice Photography is an engagement and wedding photography business based out of both Hampton Roads and Richmond, VA! I describe my style as warm, classic, and joyful. I love celebrating LOVE in all of its forms! Nothing makes me happier than getting to know a couple and getting to capture their special moments.

Holly was so great to work with! She did a great job throughout the day and the lead up! Highly recommend booking her for extra events leading up to the wedding! Engagement photos were included in the package we purchased from her, but we also booked her to take photos at our engagement party and rehearsal dinner. My husband is not a huge photo person, so having those extra opportunities to meet with Holly and get everyone more comfortable together really led to some great photos! She is bright and bubbly and helped keep everything running smoothly. We also had some trouble getting our bouquets put together and she jumped right in and helped us make sure they were looking perfect for the walk down the aisle (and the photos!). Holly captured everything perfectly - from the serious "formal" photos, to the funny moments and the dance party at the end. She captured everything so perfectly! Holly was absolutely the right choice when it came to capturing some of our most important moments 3

I fell in love with photography at a young age, while rummaging through boxes of family photographs. My favorite pictures were always the ones that felt as though you had been transported in time- a little blurry, but a lot of emotion.

If you’re looking for a kind, professional, and talented photographer then look no further, Audrey is the one for you!! She was punctual, had so many ideas for cute shots, and made sure she took time to find out what kind of pictures my now-husband and I wanted. And the photos I received left me speechless! They are stunning, and the editing is incredible. She got so many cute candid moments along with formal portraits from every angle. Audrey was the best photographer we could have asked for on our special day!

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!

Jeff was truly the MVP of my wedding day. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. He knew exactly where to put people for the best outcomes. He made me feel confident and directed me every step of the way. He was professional and respected everyone’s time. He took pictures of my wedding in late October, and really highlighted the beautiful fall foliage. All of my pictures look dreamy and magical. Couldn’t ask for a better photographer.

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank Sufia enough, for the beautiful photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. I was so nervous to take photos, as I hate having my photo taken at all, that I delayed it for so long. Now, I wish I hadn’t! I’m just seriously blown away, Sufia made me feel like a model! And she was able to capture the love we have for one another in every photo. Not only is she obviously gifted with a talent to really capture people at their most beautiful, but she is such a wonderful person to I have to say I can’t recommend Sufia Huq Portraits highly enough. She has photographed so many important milestones for my family but she truly rose above and beyond all of my expectations as a wedding photographer. I initially hired Sufia for my engagement photos but after seeing how perfect they turned out, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my wedding! On the day of my wedding it truly felt like everything was going wrong. It was raining. I got second degree burns on my chest from a steamer. I had vendors threatening to leave and the catering company stealing my food. The ONE thing that eased the stress of that day was my incredible photographer. Despite how stressed I was, Sufia managed to bring me back into the moment and to capture timeless portraits of my wedding day with my husband, closest friends, and family. When I look back through the photos of my wedding day (which I do often because I’m obsessed), I don’t think about all of the craziness. I think about those precious moments Sufia captured for me. Sufia was more than just a photographer that day. She was a cheerleader. She was a hype woman. She was a friend. She was more than just accommodating. She was flexible. She was dependable. She was KIND. Sufia is an amazing human being with an amazing talent. A wedding day is a huge deal. Sufia Huq Portraits will not disappoint in quality or in kindness.

  • Serves Clayton, NC for additional fees

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a wedding photographer based in West Virginia! I find happiness in my family, my church, warm summer light, capturing moments on film, sunrises and sunsets, and reminiscing on nostalgic moments. I have a passion for travel and am always happy to go somewhere new! I picked up my first camera in middle school (thanks, Grandpa) and never looked back. I began documenting my own life, as well as special moments for my friends & family, and I quickly fell in love with the gift of memories that photography provides.

I cannot recommend Maddie highly enough! From the first moments of our special day, her warm and calming presence immediately put us at ease. She was so kind and professional throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful portion of the day feel effortless and joyful. Her attention to detail and ability to capture genuine, heartfelt moments are truly unmatched. Every time I look back at my wedding photos, I’m transported to that magical day all over again. These photos are treasures I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful to Maddie for preserving these memories so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both talented and an absolute delight to work with, look no further! Congrats on your big day! I know Maddie will capture all the magic... you just go get married! ;)

Hi, I'm Liz! I'm based in Lynchburg, VA. I moved here from Los Angeles where I studied Fashion Design and Merchandising. Photography has been a huge passion of mine since I was in middle school but one class in college that really sparked my interest again. When the Pandemic hit, I was 6 months pregnant and starting to realize that I didn't enjoy my job anymore. I was so tired of working 50-60 hours a week and realized the most important thing to me was to be there to raise my child. So, that was that and here I am.

Working with Rustic Rose Photography was the best experience! She completed both engagement and wedding pictures for us. I am not someone who loves to be in front of a camera, but Liz uses really natural prompts to make you feel like yourself and feel good. At my wedding, she was really supportive and even checked in with me to see if I needed water or food. She’s always prompt and fun to work with. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. I can’t wait to scheduled more sessions with her in the future because she has a way of capturing the warmth of a moment in such a special way.

When looking through your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years, you want each photo to spark a dozen timeless memories – like the chill of the autumn air, the way your dress swung to and fro, how your grandma couldn’t stop smiling the whole night, the taste of your new spouse’s lips, and countless more. You’re looking for true and honest evidence that brings you back and steadies you in these fleeting moments. You want to freeze your day just how it is and cherish it forever. Hey, I'm Jess! You're in the right place.

"Jessica doesn't just "work" your wedding, she becomes a friend and a wonderful support all throughout the wedding process. She loves what she does and you can tell--she's dedicated to what she does and works with absolute excellence. Jess traveled far for my wedding and took the most gorgeous photos that I can't stop looking at. She sent me 100's of sneak peaks the next day followed by an extensive gallery a few weeks later and a personalized usb that will make a wonderful keepsake. I am so grateful for Jessica and would recommend her to anyone!!!"

I'm also a frequent to Dutch Bros, so you may see me in the drive-thru line ◡̈

Kamryn went above and beyond to help our wedding go smoothly! She helped coordinate the bridal party pictures as well as helping to get anything I, Clara, needed for our wedding! She was very insightful about locations for the pictures! She communicates very well. She was willing to meet to up to discuss wedding details before the wedding! Her photographs are excellent!

My name is Cecilia but you can call me Cece. I'm so happy you are here. I'm married to the love of my life and together we have three rambunctious little boys. I'm based in Utah and I LOVE traveling. If your wedding is out of state I would love to come to you. I have always found joy in taking photos. It wasn't until I got pregnant with my first child that I developed a strong passion for photography. When I'm not taking pictures I enjoy exercising, reading books, and hanging out with my family & friends

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

Lauren Ashlie Imagery provided amazing photography for our wedding day. Her communication was efficient, clear, and prompt throughout the entire process making it so easy to work with her. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are so natural and detailed, capturing all the special moments beautifully. She also sent the sneak peak photos, along with the full portfolio, in a timely manner. Lauren was able to make me feel so relaxed and beautiful in front of the camera. I highly recommend Lauren Ashlie Imagery to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Colorado, but willing to travel anywhere with no travel fees in 2024! My style is very candid and photojournalistic. I aim to capture your day as it TRULY is. I'm there to document the big moments such as your first kiss and your vows, but also the little moments, like the way you two hold each other, or a glance from a family member that you don't get to see. I hope you look back on your photos and see things that you remember, but also get to see moments you might have missed.

I loved working with Hayley. As an Officiant, I know the importance of making a couple feel comfortable and heard. Hayley does just that for and with her couples. She is always willing to do whatever she can to get that perfect shot and be sure her couple is happy. It is an pleasure to work with her and I am always excited to see her wedding day photos.
