Amir Luna Photography 
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Cooleemee, NC

Honest moments and enduring beauty are what matter most to me. The laughter that slips out when you forget the camera is there. The quiet gesture no one else notices. The kind of details that feel small in the moment but become the memories you treasure. I’ll guide you just enough to feel comfortable and confident, but never in a way that feels stiff. I set the scene with light and composition, then let your connection bring it to life. What we create together carries both intention and heart, designed to last as something elegant, genuine, and true to who you are.

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

I have been a Winston-Salem wedding photographer since 2007 and it has given me a lot of experience to be able to guide clients through their wedding day and if needed help them prepare a timeline for their wedding that runs effortlessly through the day because of our planning beforehand. I love shooting film and the beauty that it creates, it has made me slow down and appreciate and look for the little moments. I strive to capture emotion and small details as I document the day.

  • Serves Cooleemee, NC

Choosing a photographer for your wedding day is a huge decision, I get it! These photos are going to be your only reminder of how heartfelt and incredible it all was. So you'll want to make sure you hire someone that you really connect with, enjoying being around, and trust to capture everything in a way that really reflects the feeling of the day. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me in the middle of a home renovation project, cooking new recipes with my husband, or hosting a game night in our home with friends and family. Any Settlers of Catan or Ticket to Ride fans out there?

Hillary Muelleck Photography provided an exceptional experience for the couples she chooses to work with! Hillary's communication style is consistent and encouraging throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly fine art, with a keen eye for detail and a fun, creative approach. Hillary pays close attention to her couples, understanding their vision and making sure they feel supported and at ease on their special day. Hillary encourages her couples every step of the way, helping to capture the joy and emotion of the celebration.

I'm a natural light wedding photographer in Winston Salem who focuses on capturing the romance of your wedding day! I adore whimsical garden weddings and will absolutely cry during your vows. I have a relational approach with all of my couples, so we will be talking every step of the way, from the moment you book to your engagement session, to your big day.

She shot our wedding in May in a torrential downpour(tragic) and our entire catalogue came out SO DREAMY. Pouring rain on your wedding day can feel so defeating but Elsa broke out some umbrellas, sat out in the rain with us while we exchanged private vows and GOT THE SHOTS. We look back at our photos and feel so grateful she worked with us to memorialize our day in all its rainy dramatics. Having your picture taken can feel so awkward and stiff but Elsa made us feel so comfortable and entirely at ease, we and our entire family loved her. If you want a photographer that will make it happen for you, and give you the sweetest physical memories of your day, book her!!!! You won’t regret it. We love you Elsa!!! Thank you for everything!

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years across the country. I recently moved to South Carolina from California, where I lived in Yosemite National Park. While my primary focus is wedding photography, I am also a biologist, which brought me to this beautiful state. I love expressing my creative side through photography and witnessing the joy it brings to my clients. I specialize in a blend of editorial and documentary-style photography. I aim to capture natural moments as the day unfolds, but I’m also happy to give gentle guidance when needed.

Carson Lillard Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our wedding day. Their communication style was thorough, responsive, and detailed, which put us at ease leading up to the big day. The quality of their work and dedication to our special occasion was truly exceptional. When an unexpected rainstorm threatened to put a damper on our outdoor ceremony, Carson quickly adapted, using the clear umbrellas my matron of honor surprised us with to get the sweetest, most creative photos that captured all the special moments. Even without perfect natural lighting or the ideal “golden hour”, our pictures came out absolutely phenomenal. Carson was patient and direct in wrangling our large family for group photos, and the end results were stunning. I couldn't be happier with the service and value Carson Lillard Photography provided, and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

----------- Please email me or text me for inquiries :). Zola charges money each time I respond to an inquiry on here. (My number and email are on my website)-----About--> Erin Jay Wedding Photography brings 13+ years of expertise to your special day. Based in Asheville, we specialize in local and destination weddings, focusing on capturing the unique essence and emotions of each couple. Our passion is crafting timeless, beautiful photographs that tell your love story. Whether in the quaint streets of Asheville or a dream destination, we promise to encapsulate the joy and intimacy of your wedding, leaving you with memories to cherish forever.

We are extremely thankful for Erin! She came in as though we have been great friends for many years. She introduced herself and went right to work. She referred to the list we discussed of photos we wanted and added numerous additional suggestions that helped us to get some amazing wedding day photos. My husband is not one to show a lot of emotion on camera, but Erin ensured that we did actions that he was not focused on the camera, but just enjoying the moments which allowed us to catch some very beautiful and memorable wedding day photos. She took many different positions, areas, and lighting to ensure we were getting the best options despite the weather not cooperating on the day. It's important to note that right before our wedding is when WNC was seriously affected by flooding and catastrophic damages. Even though Erin lives in an area that was heavily affected, she maintained communication, and while we were worried about her safety, she reassured us she'd still be available for our wedding. If that doesn't say professionalism, I don't know what else to say! She was very kind and thoughtful, and her calming and positive energy helped keep my anxiety at bay on what could have been an an incredibly stressful day. When it came time to preview the photos, Erin and I communicated about style options, and Erin showed available options to ensure the photos were everything I could hope for. Overall, we couldn't have been any happier with Erin and her photography. She is amazing and professional and did a wonderful job. And the photos were more than we ever could have hoped for. If you are looking for a photographer for your special day, there is no doubt in my mind that Erin will exceed every need, want, and hope you could possibly have.

Hi, I’m Meg — wife, mom of three wild and wonderful kiddos, and professional memory-maker for couples who want to actually enjoy their wedding day (yes, it’s possible!). My love for photographing weddings started long before I ever picked up a camera — I’ve always been obsessed with the feeling of them. The laughter, the happy tears, the chaos, the quiet moments no one else notices — that’s where the magic lives. When I’m not documenting “I do’s,” you can find me chasing my kids around our backyard, sipping cold brew like it’s a personality trait, or sneaking away for a cozy date night with my husband.

Meg did our wedding and engagement photos in 2024 and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! (I’m just delayed in getting this review up). She was delightful and easy to work with and communicated well throughout the process (timelines, what to expect, what she needed from us). The photos themselves turned out amazing! We were both nervous about posing/feeling awkward but Meg put us at ease and gave the perfect amount of instruction. She embraced our vision/personalities but also helped guide us to some really fun and creative shots.

I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!"

With nearly a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 100 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

There is no one in the world who does it like Haverlee. Haverlee was my family photographer growing up, she did my Mom’s maternity photos, she did my senior photos, and now my wedding photos. There is something really special about receiving photos that bring you back to moments you don’t want to forget, and that’s exactly what she captures- every single time. I’m thankful for the ways she doesn’t create staged photos, but captures genuine moments. I couldn’t recommend a photographer more than her, and am absolutely convinced I won’t ever go with another photographer!

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit four times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs and horse, or exploring the world around me.

Once you get your images back you will be able to relive your entire day from start to finish, every small detail will be captured.

On the wedding day, Chelsea showed up with her assistant and captured everything: from getting ready, to the ceremony, to the most stunning sunset portraits. She made us feel completely at ease, and it truly shows in our photos. Every shot feels genuine, vibrant, and full of emotion. Chelsea captured every important moment.

Love has a way of surprising us. I know this from experience. My husband and I married, divorced, and then found our way back to each other seven years later. That journey taught me something profound: when love is real, it doesn’t follow rules. It evolves. It deepens. It returns. That’s the kind of love I photograph—the kind that chooses each other, again and again. That’s why I do what I do. Weddings aren’t just a beautiful day, they’re your story. The in-between moments, the laughter, the tears, the glances no one else notices--those are the moments I live to capture.

Awarded Best of Zola
My amazing experience with Molly didn’t just begin the day we hired her, it started well before we even made the decision to have her capture our special day. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, creative, and genuinely interested in understanding what we wanted and needed in a photographer. Her process was seamless, her communication was outstanding, and her passion for her work shined through every step of the way. We truly believe her talent for capturing our moments is unmatched. Just a few days after our wedding, Molly sent us the most incredible sneak peek, and we were blown away. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured every moment so naturally and beautifully. Looking through our first gallery felt like reliving the best day of our lives. The colors, the light, the emotion...everything was absolutely stunning. We can’t wait to see the rest! Beyond her artistry, Molly is simply a wonderful person to be around. She kept us calm during the rush of the day, cheered us on, and made the entire experience feel effortless and fun. She was everywhere at once, fixing details, capturing candid laughter, and documenting every genuine moment, all without us even noticing. Every photo feels alive, filled with love and joy. It’s rare to find someone who can capture not just moments, but feelings...and Molly does exactly that. She gave us memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime, and choosing her was truly one of the best decisions we made! If you’re looking for someone who will pour her heart into your story the way she did for ours, look no further. Molly, we can’t thank you enough, and we’ll definitely be hiring you again!

I’m Morgan — the face behind Morgan Foth Photography! My husband, Justin, and I are a photo + video duo based in York, SC, capturing unique love stories across the Carolinas. We’re down-to-earth, a little goofy, and love helping couples who “aren’t photo people” feel confident and comfortable in front of the lens. If being in front of a camera feels awkward, don’t worry — that’s my specialty. I’ll crack jokes, play third wheel, and make you forget the camera’s even there. When you book both photo and video, you get our full dream team to capture your day from every angle — all the laughs, tears, and dance floor chaos included.

Morgan Foth Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, their communication was clear and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. She even had us send her a Pinterest board so she could study the aesthetic we were wanting for our day. On our wedding day, Morgan and her co-shooter Lauren went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. They had excellent ideas but also listened closely to the vibe we were going for, resulting in photos that perfectly captured the uniqueness of our special day. As someone who is not always comfortable in front of a camera, I felt so at ease working with them. Both my husband and I have said we would work with Morgan again in a heartbeat. She really went the extra mile, providing us with a mini album and a custom candle in addition to the stunning photos. I cannot recommend Morgan Foth Photography enough - they truly made our day a joy!

I love telling stories and capturing imperative moments that will last a lifetime. You only get a few chances at getting good moments at the optimal times to tell stories. That’s my favorite part of photography, getting to tell your story.

Even though a huge storm rolled in during the middle of our photos, Rashaad and his partner adjusted and continued to snap beautiful pictures. They really helped direct us and keep our pace throughout the day. The detail shots were incredible and the highlight video is something we will forever treasure. They worked incredibly hard, and were super nice and positive. Just absolutely beautiful work - I can't recommend them enough!
