Stephanie Small Photography 

5.0

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

I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up being in front of a camera doing pageants and modeling. I know what it is like to have no direction at a photoshoot and leave disappointed. I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had nothing short of a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She was very helpful and coordinated in planning the photo schedule, and made sure that everything happened on time despite certain delays! Stephanie was always polite and professional, easy to work with, fairly priced, and flexible (we had to have a relatively late notice change of venue). And finally, the photos were beautiful!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
After speaking to a dozen or so photographers, we had pretty much given up. It seemed like no one was actually willing to work with us on what we were looking for, and were very rigid with the packages they offer. Enter...Hannah. Talking to Hannah immediately made me feel like I was chatting with an old friend. She really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Our engagement session was so much fun, and we couldn't wait until our big day. Matt and Hannah's team was absolutely amazing! They got all of the shots we wanted plus so much more! Anyone that talked with them at the wedding said how sweet and personable they are! Then came the video...and I STILL cry every time we watch it. If you are looking for a company that will listen AND deliver - this team is for you!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we got married, there was no question as to who to use for our pictures. We looked around at a few other photographers, but nobody could offer the attention to detail, the eye for just the right moment, and the impressive turn around/response time like Becky. She was so easy to work with in helping us to capture the best moments from our best day. We will forever treasure our beautiful pictures! I would highly recommend Becky 10/10.

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

We had the most amazing experience with Him & Her Photography! Josh and Alisha did both our engagement and wedding photography and went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!

  • 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?

We had the BEST experience with Hillary! She did such an incredible job capturing the essence of our wedding weekend, and we appreciated her calming, upbeat presence. We loved the combination of formal, candid, and detailed shots as well as film and regular photography. Her team worked seamlessly with our other vendors and operated unobtrusively within our timeline without compromising any of the shots that we wanted. She is so lovely to work with, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!

When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts!

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

From the first day when we booked with her through the whole wedding planning process Jade made it as easy and seamless for us as possible. She is such a joy to work with and her whole team was so professional and fun. They made sure to get all the family/portrait shots we wanted, as well as lots of fun, creative, and candid photos that truly captured the joy and memories of our day. With the crazy busy schedule of the day she helped keep things flowing seamlessly and was there to support us in whatever we needed.

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! 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!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sharon and her second shooter, Hannah, are simply the best. Sharon's professionalism, creativity, customer service and commitment to detail were unmatched during the planning process and everything came to a beautiful crescendo on our wedding day in Charlotte, NC in June 2024. She understands family dynamics and approaches her work with love and respect. Her innate ability to capture light, emotion, movement and grace cannot be overstated. I wish there was a 10-star rating.

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Haverlee for our wedding photographer and it was hands-down our best choice of vendors for the big day. I initially chose her after scrolling through her work and recognizing a unique talent- she captured REAL moments, in people's natural environments, without "over-editing." Then we met her in person and that's what sealed the deal! Haverlee is relaxed, professional, and fun. She brought a second-shooter who was equally as great and complimented her style very well. It was a joy to work with an artist who is quickly gaining momentum in her field, and whose passion is un-matched. We have since recommended her to many friends and we're excited to work with her again in the future!

I'm Autumn. Baker, reader, musical-lover, photographer. I love experiencing art in every form, and I'm discovering I love creating it too. For so long there has been a bubble around art, and a body guard dictating who can or can't enjoy or create it. I'm all about bending, breaking, and recreating ancient and archaic rules. There is no one saying what you can or can't create. And if there is, I'm right there with you to block out the noise. With me, you can recreate the stuff of dreams. Absolute magic.

Autumn was AMAZING. She came all the way out to Illinois, she took some amazing engagement photos for us in the summer, and we hired her back to shoot our wedding in the winter. She so clearly just wants to help make your photos turn out as nice as they possibly can, and to cater to what you want in your photos -- that's her first priority, which is so rare and so fantastic. She's a lovely person to boot, and we really enjoyed taking her out to dinner after our photos and learning more about her. Best of luck Autumn, and thanks so much!

We're Giuliana, Brian, and Lane of Halifax Hill Studios! A photography trio based just North of Raleigh: we love photographing weddings, engagements, family portraits and everything in between! Giuliana and Brian, the founders of Halifax Hill Studios, are married as of Fall 2021! Lane is a good friend of Giuliana and Brian, who just recently joined the Halifax Hill Studios team. Most of our wedding packages include a second shooter, so we tag-team throughout wedding day to provide you with the very best service and amazing photographs.

We knew after speaking to Giuliana on the phone that we wanted to book with her. Our wedding was at the Victorian so we knew she was the expert on places for photo and how the space worked. She is such a fun (and cool) person and she worked with such a peace and ease on our wedding day. I felt like as soon as she arrived, the day was just full of fun things! She gives clear yet inviting direction with poses (we as a couple and individuals definitely liked having someone direct us in posing so we didn't just stand there awkwardly). I never felt like she was bossing us around and she asked several times if there were additional things we wanted photographed or groups of people. Giuliana made us feel right at home in front of her camera and our pictures are INCREDIBLE. I cannot speak enough to her patience and ease with family photos, portraits, and other vendors. I felt like she had quite the challenge with all of our portraits and things going on but she handled it with such ease and it truly flew by. We actually ended up with extra time to be alone during cocktail hour which we wanted but I was never sure we would actually get it with our photo list, but she made it happen! We also had Giuliana come up to us in DC for our engagement shoot which was so much fun. We had a blast shooting at the monuments and she handled the people and weather changes with such an ease which took a lot of stress off of us!

You know picking a photographer that you like, and I mean personality wise, not just their work and price, is so important and will help you avoid feeling like the paparazzi is awkwardly following you around all day. I am bubbly, make bad jokes to get giggles out of you, and I strive to feel more like a friend than a stranger on your wedding day. So if you love my work and you can vibe with that, you are in the right place!

Darryl and his staff were amazing in two ways. 1. They slipped right in and felt like family. They were so great to work with. 2. They were crafty ninjas on our wedding day getting shots I wasn’t fully aware they were around to take. Like theater techs they blended in the background and took amazing pics of me, my husband and our family. We had so much fun. Bonus, the vide they crafted for us….wooo! If you want to relive your special day and be a ball of tears and joy in the best way, hire Optikool Illusions. We worked with Darryl for our engagement photos and our wedding and I honestly could not be happier!

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. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. 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. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold! I came to a crossroad after my son was born of whether I should return to work or pursue my passion with photography. Let’s just say I took a jump and went into business around 2012. It’s been a daring journey with the most awesome clients ever!

Maria is the best photographer I have had the privilege to work with. From before/during/after our wedding she made every step special and magical. Our family and bridal party LOVED her and the humor/fun personality she brought to group photos. We love Maria and cannot wait to work with her in the future.
