  • Starts at $6,000

From her high school darkroom days, to full time wedding and family photography, Kelsie leaned into her passion of capturing couples’ stories as they unfold. As a student of the Art Institute of Boston and Maine Photographic Workshops, art has always been an outlet for Kelsie. In addition, her Culinary Arts and Hospitality degree and extensive experience in catering and event management, gives her an advantageous eye for the details. Enjoying colors, fabrics, and florals, she is able to capture both the celebratory love shared at a wedding as well as the design and beauty surrounding the couple and their guests.

Having Kelsie as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! Kelsie is fun, thoughtful, organized, flexible, and such a talented photographer. Her previous experience as an event planner shone through as she kept in touch and asked careful questions to get to know us and think through our vision. Covid got in the way of many of our plans and we had to reorganize our whole wedding just days out, but Kelsie’s eye for balancing big moments and small details really captured all the special parts of our day. We couldn’t be more thrilled with how our photos and wedding album turned out!

Big Day Story Carolinas was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and videographer—and so much more! From our first conversation, it was clear that the team, especially Bipin and Sanjay, truly enjoys what they do and cares deeply about capturing the special moments of each couple. Their friendly and relaxed demeanor immediately put us at ease, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend doing an engagement session! It was a great way for us to feel more comfortable in front of the camera, and Bipin and Sanjay gave us wonderful direction that made us feel natural and at ease, even when we might have otherwise felt self-conscious. On our wedding day, they were incredibly reassuring and made us feel like we were with old friends, which added to the overall calm and happiness of the day. The final images and video were absolutely stunning—better than we ever imagined! The photos are high-quality, true-to-life, and every time we look at them, we’re transported back to that beautiful day.

Morgan Williams Weddings 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Cornelius, NC

As a wedding professional, I know that proactivity breeds peacefulness. In a culture that is quick to devalue self-sacrifice and commitment, I am grateful to hold an extremely high view of marriage. I believe that the steadfast love that undergirds such a sacred, covenantal promise is one of the biggest gifts this life has to offer. I am deeply committed to proactively stewarding each and every detail of your wedding experience in a way that fosters peace and presence — all while leading your chosen team of vendors to success.

Morgan is simply fantastic! We are so fortunate to have found her and are thankful for the little God wink that led us to her. She is so personable and easy to work with, she listens to what the bride wants (and welcomed my perspective, too :) ) but yet guides based on her experiences, is firm but kind, and she respected and supported our desire to keep the day focused on the marriage itself and not getting overly wrapped up in everything else surrounding that day. She was detailed in her pre-wedding planning. As tends to happen in every wedding I’ve been around - things don’t go perfectly per the ‘script’ - and my daughter’s wedding was no different. But Morgan kept an absolutely calming demeanor about her the entire day and night, even while keeping one eye on the weather all around our outdoor wedding, which helped me keep my nerves in check, too. She problem solved on the spot while still remaining totally composed. Several people commented to me on how smoothly everything at the wedding seemed to run, which is a testimony to Morgan. I believe our wedding was the largest and most ‘spread out’ between ceremony/cocktail hour/reception she had ever done, and she made sure to have a great helper with her that day to help cover it all. We got together after the wedding and reflected on how things went. She was very open to my feedback because she wants to continue to grow in her craft, but what impressed me the most was how much self-reflection she had already done as a way for continuous improvement. My daughter very much enjoyed working with Morgan, too, and 10 out of 10 we would both choose to work with her again!

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not words to describe how much we loved having DJ Krystyle perform at our Aug 2024 wedding. She was very responsive, communicative, and has a super easy online portal that helps capture every detail you could think of for the event music. She’s also a lovely human in general to work with. We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

You're engaged! Yay! And now it all begins: phone calls, the meetings, scrolling Pinterest when you can't sleep, all of the questions from friends & family...& maybe it's too much. You wish you had someone to help delegate, organize, & produce the vision you have in your head. You're in the right place. We are your cheerleaders, your advocates, your friends, & the team that brings your love story to life. Our lead planner comes from past work in wedding photography. Combine that with our ample experience in planning events big & small, near & far, we truly know how to make any event happen.

Where do I even begin?? Savannah made my day absolutely beautiful, seamless, stress free and organized! The very idea of planning a wedding in 7 months was enough to overwhelm me and she kept me on track with what needed to be done and when. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her! Our Hilton Head wedding was truly the best day ever and that is in big part because of her. My mother in law loved her so much she asked me if Savannah would be willing to travel to Texas for my sister in laws wedding when that happens. If you’re unsure of who to choose, Olivia Lauren is it.

Jordan G Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Cornelius, NC

I pour my heart into every photo I take, blending a classic style with a unique touch. People inspire the stories I tell, and to truly understand a story, you need to know the people behind it. Each person brings a fresh perspective on love and life. Without the wonderful individuals in front of my lens, my photos lose their meaning and authenticity. I’m here to not just capture your story, but to tell it beautifully. That’s why I love photography.

Jordan G Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From the start, her communication was thorough, quick, and reliable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work really stands out amongst the competition - the photos are beautiful, dramatic, and truly memorable. Jordan G Photography took care of both our engagement and wedding photos, and we are thrilled with the results. She did a fantastic job capturing our special day, working with us at our desired locations and guiding us through the poses to get the perfect shots. We couldn't have asked for a more skilled and attentive photographer, and we would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for wedding photos they can cherish for the rest of their lives.

Megan Pitts Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Cornelius, NC

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

Megan was truly the best photographer we could have possibly chosen for our engagement and wedding. She was so easy to work with both leading up to our big day, and on wedding day itself (shoutout to her for saving the day more than once on wedding day when the weather and my stress got the best of me!). We are absolutely in love with our photos, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

We can’t say enough good things about Opulence Band and their owner lead vocalist Lewis! Our guests are STILL talking about what a spectacular experience Opulence Band provided! Throughout the planning process, Lewis was so kind, helpful and responsive - he always made us feel like a priority and had such a “can-do” attitude with everything we asked. We even upgraded to the a bigger package because we felt so confident in Lewis, and we are so thankful for all that he did! The weekend of our wedding, they were nothing short of amazing! Lewis was a great “MC,” helping introduce all of the first dances in a such a fun, enthusiastic way; and he helped us coordinate a surprise “Happy Birthday” song to celebrate my Uncle’s 70th Birthday.The band was so fun, interactive and kept the energy going all night. We even got to hop on stage with them for a song! Our guests were obsessed with the song selections, choreography, crowd interactions and the dance floor was never empty! We can’t thank Lewis Opulence Band enough for making our wedding weekend so special. Thank you! -Mary & Brian

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I cannot say it enough, we had the worlds best experience with STP. Not only did she do an outstanding job with our engagement and wedding photos, she truly made our whole wedding experience. She is professional, kind, and a true artist. Every detail was captured so beautifully! My husband and I are so awkward in front of a camera and Sheree put both of us at ease. She made every session fun and comfortable while also maintaining professionalism. All of our guests loved interacting with her and her husband. From the very first phone call, I knew that choosing STP would be the right decision. She answered every email/text/call and made wedding planning a breeze. Take my word, you will not regret choosing Sheree to capture your big day!!!

Where do I start? Casie’s all around professionalism and talent make her stand out in the large crowd of wedding photographers. I hired Casie nearly a year before my wedding and she was able to answer any questions I had during that time. She was also such great company on my wedding day - never taking up “too much space”, while also being there whenever I needed assistance. She made ALL of my specific visions come true while simultaneously providing some incredibly unique surprise shots in my gallery as well. I cannot recommend Casie enough!!!!

Troyonna and her husband are awesome!!! From the moment they arrived until the end of the night, they were up running around getting photos from all angles. We had such a fun time whenever we met them including our engagement shoot. Their work speaks for itself, but I still have to add that our wedding photographs are better than we could have ever expected or dreamed of. We absolutely love all our photos and can’t stop looking at our wedding album, which tells the story of our day perfectly. We just need to find an excuse to see them working their magic again!
