Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch.

Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

I have nothing but positive remarks about Alex and his team. My husband and I booked him for our wedding this past October and are SO glad we did. I researched tons of videographers and had a handful of consultations. When I stumbled upon Alex' videos, I felt a sudden connection. My husband is very particular lol and Alex' was one of the few videographer/cinematographers that he really felt a WOW with. During our consultation with him, we felt very at east! He was very professional and guided us throughout the process. We received so many compliments with our highlight and feature film and I honestly can't stop watching them up to this day! We had a FULL day of events including our Chinese tea ceremony starting at 9am. Alex' team filmed 12.5 hours of coverage and throughout the day they did a phenomenal job capturing every special moment. I would recommend Alex V to ANYONE and EVERYONE. You will not have any regrets!!! Thank you again Alex :)

She really managed to capture the energy of the big day. We also got to work with her for our engagement shoot, and she even went above and beyond to fly up and meet us in DC, which was incredible.

My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Absolutely great to work with from the start! Jesslyn was prompt to respond, easy going, and was the best decision we made while planning our wedding! Jesslyn is so talented at capturing natural and intimate moments during the day that I have rarely seen captured by other photographers. Additionally, she is professional at getting those family shots as well. We have a large opinioned blended family, and she was able to direct and navigate everyone to their places to ensure the photo was captured to remember the day. An absolutely joy to work with, and highly recommend!

So nice to meet you! My name is Carina, and I'm your new wedding planning bestie! I started Raleigh Weddings after self-planning my own wedding. As much as I loved the process, I was also up until 3 AM the night before my wedding finalizing designs on my decor and straightening our ceremony chairs. My wedding day ended up being AMAZING (on 4 hours of sleep, no less!), but if I had known then what I do now, I would have had a planner. That's why I got certified in wedding planning and started my business in 2022: I want to help you soak in the joyful parts this process while I take on the heavy stuff for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I honestly don't even know where to begin. Carina is hands-down one of the most thoughtful, kind, hard-working, enjoyable, and creative people I have ever met. She handled every single thing with poise and grace. Every wedding plan changes, or has hiccups but frankly I never had to feel those because Carina just handled it with such calm and supportive energy that I didn't even have time to worry about anything at all. I think one of the most unique things about Carina is how she puts her EVERYTHING into making your vision come true. She sat down and HAND-WROTE every single name card (200!!!) because I liked an idea she had. She showed up to my rehearsal dinner with a bouquet for me that she stopped and made herself just so I could have something for that night. Day of was no different, honestly it was almost sad because I knew I wouldn't get to have my fun meetings with her anymore (luckily we are now good friends so I get to do that either way!!) I recommend Carina for your wedding if you want someone to create a vision, to be kind and thoughtful, to listen and show up to every appointment and to put her entire heart into making sure your vision comes to fruition.

Kristen Caputo Weddings & Events is a wedding planning service that curates elevated events for memories that will last a lifetime! We offer everything from full-service planning packages to wedding coordination packages.

Kristen and her team were amazing- her services were the most critical part of our wedding! She was so organized and on top of everything for the wedding, as soon as I hired her I felt so much more at ease with the planning process. I did a pretty much DIY wedding, my venue did not provide anything other than the venue and furniture, therefore, I had a lot of moving parts to my wedding and multiple vendors involved. Kristen took all the chaotic information I provided and streamlined the whole thing. She organized everything for me into a very easy to follow timeline and then was in constant communication with all the vendors. My regular hair dresser is the hair dresser I used for my wedding and she and I are friends. She told me that from a vendor's perspective, Kristen was the best coordinator/planner she had ever worked with. She was very impressed with her constant communication and all of the details she thought of in preparation of the event. Kristen and her team took my vision and made it a reality which was no easy task but she got it done. This was hands down the most positive experience I had in wedding planning/preparation and I would highly recommend Kristen for any planning needs!

When we set out to find a day-of coordinator for our wedding, we had a clear vision – someone who could bring our décor dreams to life and ensure we could relax and soak in every moment on our special day. Enter Evviva and the amazing Kat – our dream team in every sense! Kat's approach was spot-on during our lead-up calls. She delved deep into understanding us and our vision, asking thoughtful questions that reassured us we were in capable hands. Her communication skills and kindness extended to all our vendors, earning her accolades as the most organized day-of coordinator from our venue coordinator. On the big day, Kat and the Evviva team were nothing short of a dream. Upon arrival, they gracefully tackled a well-intentioned chaos caused by the venue team. My carefully organized décor boxes had turned into a bit of a mess, but the Evviva team quickly stepped in, fixing everything that didn't align with our vision. During the wedding, Kat was an ever-present positive force. Guests noticed her attentive care, ensuring everyone's needs were met. A standout moment was right before I walked down the aisle, with Kat offering a reassuring smile and a reminder to take a deep breath – a small gesture that encapsulates her positive and supportive presence. We can't express enough gratitude to the entire Evviva team for making our wedding the most perfect day. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Cheers to Evviva Events for turning our wedding dreams into a beautiful reality!

I've spent years photographing weddings and honing my craft, I've got you covered no matter what. Also, I bring snacks. C. Amazingly personal photographs where you don't feel like a stranger in your own wedding album. I want to give you a fun experience, and allow you to be fully present in the moment.

Alex (and his awesome assistant Maddie) not only perfectly captured our wedding, but they truly helped us celebrate the joy and love we felt on the day. Alex is grounded, calm, and helped us stay focused on one another and our community. He acted like our secret protector, carving out time throughout the night for us to bask in all of the small and big moments. In addition to being immensely talented, he is incredibly professional. Leading up to the wedding he was highly communicative (with both us and our planner) and took the time to get to know us. During the day, he played air traffic controller with our extended families without missing a beat. And he even shared a sneak peak of the previews by the next morning for us to celebrate before our honeymoon. We are so grateful that Alex was our photographer. The photos are timeless, and he is just such a great human.

My style is rooted in a editorial and documentary approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that capture genuine emotions.

As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Lindsay and Nathan are an incredible team. From booking them two years ago, doing our engagement session, and now having gotten sneak peaks back from our wedding that was just 2 days ago, I’m completely blown away by how incredible they have been! Lindsay is a complete pro. Group photos flew by because she was so great at directing and wrangling everyone. I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them! She and Nathan were so on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that, she truly went above and beyond helping to safety pin a rip in my dress. The day was a whirlwind but Lindsay and Nathan made it so easy! I would hire them a million times over!

My goal for your event is straightforward: to create a musical atmosphere your guests will enjoy, in a tasteful way to conserve your excellent reputation. I look to do this by curating my family-friendly music library with all genres, removing instances or entire songs with profanity, vulgar descriptions, and offensive lyrics. I want you and your guests to feel comfortable for the entirety of the event, starting with the mood music that represents your style, whether you've chosen every song or have a few key picks you want me to build a playlist around.

Danny was the best to work with, from start to finish. When we first spoke to Danny on the phone, he was so friendly and easy to talk to. On the day of our wedding, it was the same. He genuinely had the most amazing vibe to him and made everyone feel so unbelievably comfortable - our families, bridal party, guests, and us. It honestly felt great having him around. Our parents loved him and made that very clear to us, which we completely understood, as we felt the same. He was so kind and friendly to everyone and our videos were beautiful and everything we wanted them to be. If we could go back, there is no doubt that we would choose him all over again. Thank you so much for being part of and capturing one of the most special days ever!

I worked with Karim for the first time last summer, as a videographer I have worked with a lot of photographers. It is not always easy to connect with photographers, but Karim was very easy to work with. He was great with posing everyone in the wedding and he was really accommodating to my job. He was very easy going, great person, and everybody in that wedding really loved him. After that wedding, whenever I get a wedding and they still don't have a photographer, I always recommend him.

Katie was such an amazing person to work with from the very first phone call to our last email after my wedding!! I got engaged in February of 2023 and reached out to Katie the following month. My husband and I decided to elope but we still wanted to have a big celebration with all our favorite people. The idea of splitting up our wedding into two events made me very stressed and anxious. I wasn't positive on how we could even achieve this and if it was just a crazy idea. My first phone call with Katie I expressed my concern and she immediately reassured me that this idea was possible. After our first call ended I let out the biggest sigh of relief and told my husband that I was so thankful that I reached out to her!! Katie made me feel confident in what we wanted for our wedding and I am so thankful for that. We did what we wanted and not what other people thought we should've done because Katie encouraged and supported us from the very start!! Our wedding day was so special to us and I can not thank her enough for that! We worked with Katie on partial planning. I am so thankful to have her for the first two months of planning. She truly kept me on track and informed me the whole time, I never felt like I was forgetting something or taking too much on at once. When April of 2024 hit I had zero stress because I knew that I would have Katies help that whole month. She asked questions that I would never have thought of, helped me make final decisions and was a calming person to go to during my wedding month. Our elopement was beyond perfect and our reception space was STUNNING thanks to Katie! She even mailed our marriage license for us! Katie was very responsive and honest. When I sent her inspo she let me know what we could do to achieve my goal but in our budget. She is also super sweet and very cool! I wish I could throw more events just to have her help me again. Katie at Keystone Event Coordinating was the perfect wedding planner for us and I can not think of a better person to help plan your most special day with!! Email Katie now, I promise you will thank yourself later!!
