  • Starts at $1,800

Hi, I’m Alaina! I’m a portrait photographer in the North Georgia area (+ available for travel) offering photography sessions for couples, individuals, graduating seniors, and intimate weddings + elopements.

We did our engagement shoot and wedding with Alaina, and it was the best decision I made for our wedding by far! I love her style and the photos are simply timeless. I'm thrilled to have such beautiful photos of the best day of our lives so far. Photoshoots are always awkward for both of us because we have no idea what to do, but Alaina made us both feel comfortable and at ease. She's wonderful to work with. And her husband, Justin, is nice too!

Choosing JC Rosewood Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Jessica and her second shooter were not only professional but also incredibly friendly, making everyone feel at ease throughout the day. From the very beginning, Jessica impressed us with her clear communication and attention to detail. She took the time to understand our vision for the day, speaking with us on the phone and sending a thorough questionnaire to ensure she captured every moment we wanted. Despite opting not to do a first look, she skillfully managed to capture all the essential photos while still allowing us time to mingle and enjoy the cocktail hour with our guests. The photos themselves are nothing short of stunning. Jessica has a keen eye for capturing both candid moments and formal portraits. Overall, JC Rosewood Photography exceeded our expectations in every way.

My love for photography is my passion. I take it with me everywhere I go, I capture pictures of my daily life and I print those pictures once a month, I know it will be worth it when I'm old and look back at life. Being a wedding photographer is a very emotional/technical thing, it is a challenge to create technically correct, well-composed, perfectly lit, beautiful images all day long, every weekend. Wedding photography is not for everyone, but it's for me! I love that challenge. Bring it on!

I knew from the moment I spoke to Andrea about photographing our wedding, her communication was prompt and assertive. They provided clear information about their process and timeline, and were quick to respond to any questions we had. She helped me through the craziness of having a Covid wedding! She was so helpful and supportive of any changes we had to make! On the day of the wedding, Andrea and her team were professional and organized, capturing all the important moments with an artistic eye. The photos they delivered beyond exceeded our expectations - they beautifully documented our special day with a creative and distinctive style. We are thrilled with the end result and would highly recommend Andrea de Anda Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. BOOK HER NOW!

On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

On top of that they were very adorable and always so easy to work with and understanding. I could honestly keep going on and on about how wonderful they are personality wise and work wise.

My name is Anthony Stalcup and I’m a Georgia-based photographer with 20+ years of experience in just about every discipline of the craft. While spending the largest part of those years as a photojournalist, editorial photographer and wedding photographer. I have been honored to receive multiple local and national awards along the way. It was in those areas where I honed my skills to be put into any situation and come out with images that tell a beautiful story.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was looking for a photographer, I really wanted someone who could do video as well and thankfully Anthony offered both for a reasonable price. He was a great photographer and really put me at ease when things didn’t go quite the way they were supposed to. Anthony really knows how to make you feel beautiful on your wedding day! Even though it was “busy season,” his turnaround time for wedding pictures was fast! I really liked how he didn’t over edit our photos like some photographers do. Him and his videographer (I think his name was Davonte) really put in a lot of time and work to capture my wedding! If you choose him, you won’t be disappointed!!

My heart lies in finding genuine, fleeting moments that tell your story. Whether it’s the laughter that makes your eyes sparkle or a tender touch that speaks volumes, my goal is simple: to turn your delicate moments into lasting memories—not just the exchange of vows and rings, but also those energetic, wild scenes of your loved ones.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the beginning, my husband and I had a very specific idea and yet pretty uncommon for our engagement photoshoot to capture how we met over playing tennis! So we wanted someone who could visualize the vague idea of ours and Hannah was the one. She shared ideas of accessories, poses, references and many more to make sure that she understood our needs and wants. Thanks to her, we not only got unique, one-of-a-kind engagement photos that everyone who knows our story adored, but made one of the most cherishible moments in our lives that will last for a very long time.

I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!
