  • Serves Cornelius, NC for additional fees

I am a destination wedding & elopement photographer + planner based in New Mexico. I am originally from the small college town of Lexington, Kentucky, but before long my family moved to Toronto, Canada. Fast forward a handful of years, we moved to Nashville where I finished up elementary school and attended high school. I graduated from UTK in the spring of May 2020 with a BS in marketing and a collateral in entrepreneurship. After graduation I moved down to Florida to be with my partner who is stationed in the area and this past year we got moved to NM! I am an avid traveler & learner!

Audrey is the best. She went above and beyond for my wedding which seemed so natural that she must do it for all. We had 3 phone calls since we lived far away. Ahead of the wedding she put together detailed timelines for myself and all those involved. We made edits together and we explored different package options. I had a large wedding where my Husband and I were getting ready at different locations, a Catholic Church Ceremony and a different location for reception. Audrey managed with ease. She has the calmest demeanor and the best art came from the day. I received “Sneak Peaks” of almost 80 photos within 2 days which was a shock to me. Upon opening them, the photographs were so beautiful we couldn’t even believe these were from our day. I HIGHLY recommend Audrey for your wedding. Big or Small, Formal or Informal. She is the girl. BTW her second shooter, Lauren quite literally saved our wedding ceremony when I forgot the rings. Lauren tracked down the limo driver and delivered the rings discreetly to the alter!

Hi! My name is Savannah and I'm a wedding photographer located in Wisconsin (but traveling anywhere!). I believe photography is a way to return to moments otherwise passed. It's a way to freeze time, emotions, and memories. I started my business at a young age, and have loved every second of it! Through ups and downs, photography has always been my passion, and I truly believe I have the best job in the world. When I'm not taking photos or editing at my computer, you will find me hanging with my husband, binging a 90's sitcom, reading Harry Potter for the 100th time, playing with my two cats, or caring for my very many plants!

I have had the pleasure of working together with Joy on many occasions. I am a wedding florist and I have to say that she is one of my most favorite photographers to work with! She always has a bright smile on her face and she is so fun to work with. I have witnessed first hand how much her couples and their friends and family enjoy having Joy take their photos! You can see their enjoyment in her photos because Joy captures all of the love and emotion from their big day! I have also been lucky enough to be in front of Joy's camera for a family photo shoot and head shots. Joy made me feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and I absolutely love those photos and I will always cherish them! I recently had the privilege of working together with Joy to plan and organize a styled photo shoot. She was flexible and open to ideas and she also brought such amazing ideas, along with creative vision and an impeccable sense of style to the table! I recommend Joy to as many of my clients as I can. I get so excited when I learn that we will be working on a wedding together! Not only because I enjoy working with her so much and my clients love working with her too, but also because she is very generous and shares her images of my floral designs with me. It is so important for a florist to have beautiful, professional photos for their portfolio and I know that the photos that receive from Joy will be gorgeous photos that are light filled, romantic and classic!

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling. Capturing moments in your life, freezing those memories, and making them stay alive each time you look at your photos, is truly what makes my time rewarding. There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!

Every person has their own beauty and truth. I see it, understand it, then reveal it through my portraits. I search for the play of light and shadow to carve the image and tell the story of the day... your day... Your story.

SeaInk is our favorite photographer to work with! Hash is amazingly talented, and we always are eager for a photo gallery from a wedding with him. He is sure to capture all of the floral details that can sometimes be overlooked, and is so valuable for us, as florists to have. The experience in advance of working with him is also seamless. As a vendor, we are happy to see their photo timeline in advance of the day, and when working a styled shoot with him, the moodboards are dreamy, and executed exactly as we hoped for! The most valuable thing to see, is the true-to-life tones in the final imagery that are edited in an elevated way -- our favorite wedding photos are always from SeaInk.

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.

Monica was such a wonderful addition to our wedding. She was so fun to spend time with, easy going, and a joy to work with! Her style of photography is so laid back, we got to have a blast at our engagement session and on our wedding day we didn't feel like we were missing out on cocktail hour, or dreading having to take pictures. She made the experience so enjoyable and we absolutely love all of our photographs. She captured us, our love, and our friends and family, perfectly. If you like a relaxed, yet fun and results-driven photographer, Monica is for you!

My name is Melissa Kelly! I am a Boston Metrowest based wedding photographer! I live in Grafton, MA with my wonderful husband and my two energetic boys! Photography has been a family hobby for my entire life! My father and I have always shared a special bond over our creative and artistic side and my maternal grandfather even had a dark room IN his home! It's in my blood! I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others!

Both my engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Melissa! Honestly, she was the best! (And it should be noted, I am picky with pictures haha) While "wedding planning" some people recommended I hire a videographer, but with Melissa's photos I didn't even need one! She captures every moment, even ones you didn't realize were being captured. It's like reliving my day every time I look at these photos. There is a lot of beauty in her editing, lighting, and angles. She gives you pose ideas too for those who are a little camera-awkward. Plus I got sooooo much positive feedback from wedding guest about how much they loved her the night of the wedding due to her amazing, fun personality, but then when they saw the outcome of the photos afterwards, everyone including my husband and I were (even more) impressed. I absolutely recommend Photography By Melissa Kelly. You will get beautiful photos and memories a genuine kind person to hang out with on your special day :) I honestly can't thank her enough, hands down!

Want a trusted, unobtrusive, thoughtful pro photographer friend on your wedding day? Someone to capture the way the wedding FEELS as well as it looks. A little direction during portrait time, a little leadership during family portraits, and near invisibility all other times? I think you’re onto something. I’m in. What's exciting? What’s important? What's confusing? Let’s sit down for a discovery meeting and I’ll ask, listen, lay out options, and share suggestions. I want to learn about you. I'm on your team 100% before, during, and after your wedding. Bonus: I've shot 400+ practice weddings before yours and I absolutely LOVE what I do!

We found Olivia to be a wonderful, skilled photographer! Her eye for composition is creative, yet she demonstrated the connectiveness of us as a couple. The one thing that stands out is how Olivia totally put us at ease by using innovative ways to relax us as we were posing. She had us, as we were holding a position close to each other, to tell each other 3 things we love and appreciate about each other. This of course brought smiles and was totally relaxing and sincere. She made us so relaxed and comfortable . As a result , the photos look completely natural. We actually became engaged the afternoon, immediately after these photos were taken. She made the moment so relaxing and magical. It was serendipity. I recommend her highly, and will be spreading the word amongst my friends and contacts. We will treasure these photos forever.

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

  • Serves Cornelius, NC for additional fees

Our passion for videography started at a young age for both of us. We weren't concerned about the type of cameras our families owned or the quality of those cherished home videos. What mattered to both of us was how it felt to capture memories through film. We are blessed to be able to now pursue our passion together as husband and wife. Cameras and video resolution have definitely upgraded from those old tape recorders, but our passion is still the same. ​

There aren't enough gold stars for this GOLD couple and their phenomenal videography business! Ryan Reid is one of the kindest, friendliest souls you will ever meet, which makes him so fun and easy to work with on your wedding day. He worked incredibly well with our photographers and was so good at reading the scene and knowing when/how to capture the BEST content right alongside them. He was our ultimate hype man throughout the whole wedding day, too! Always smiling, always cheering us on and making us smile big for the camera. We can't tell you how many family members and wedding guests complimented us on our videographer. My brother is professional video producer with a tenure producing video for the Atlanta Braves, and he RAVED about Ryan's talent and professionalism. We can't say enough good things about him and his wife, Sharol! If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding videographer, you will NOT regret it if you pick Reid Videography!!!

If you’re looking for someone to capture your memories in a seriously beautiful way, Christine Tustin is 100% your gal. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and after seeing Christine’s work we had no question we’d ask her to be our photographer. From discussing a contract to receiving our photos, she made the process simple, clear, and stress free, which means eeeverything when planning a wedding! Also, as a bride who had a wedding during COVID-19, I also had anxiety about making sure all our guests felt safe and comfortable. Christine was super flexible, organized, and made sure photos were timely but also thorough, minimizing any stress I had. Christine is not only an artist but she makes you feel like a BOSS. She has a unique way with people, bringing out the best in them through her sense of humor and badass-ness. She’s captured our personalities and relationship PERFECTLY and we feel super blessed to have these memories. Can’t wait to hang them on our photo wall. I could keep on writing/raving FOREVER about her, but will leave it at this. Look no further for an incredible photographer.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Tori & her incredibly talented team created the most magical atmosphere for our wedding day! She was always quick to respond to questions & was so incredibly kind with any request we had. Her & her team even braved the NC mountain winds and rain to set up our beautiful ceremony site. But truly, her gorgeous work speaks for itself!

Virginia Wedding Company made us feel so special, AND returned some sneak peek shots within 4 days! I don't know about you, but I felt that was incredible timing (not to mention, they surprised us with some photos AT THE WEDDING!)!! Our engagement session and wedding might be over, but I wouldn't put it past us to use Virginia Wedding Company for future events, even though they aren't local to us. These two were the perfect photographers for us, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking!
