Emilie Leazier Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Gastonia, NC

As your photographer, I prioritize truly getting to know you as a couple, offering guidance and support throughout your wedding day. My goal is to capture those intimate, fleeting moments—the ones you might forget in the whirlwind, like your grandmother’s tears as you walk down the aisle or your best friend’s belly laugh after the best man’s speech. Together, we create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that lets your genuine emotions and connections shine through. I don't just freeze moments; I capture the essence of your emotions. With careful attention to detail, I weave these real moments into a visual story that goes beyond the ordinary.

Emilie Leazier Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Emily's outgoing and passionate communication style made us feel so comfortable and excited to have her capture our special day. The quality of their work is truly amazing - they provided us with an incredible number of beautiful, fast-turnaround photos that perfectly documented every moment. Emily even drove all the way from Colorado to our house in Utah, which is super far away, and made us feel so special and right at home from the moment she arrived. Emily is simply the best of the best, and we feel so lucky to have had her as our wedding photographer.

Hey! I'm Christina and I'm super excited to be here! I have been around the industry for about 15 years. My mother was a photographer in the 2000's and I was there as her assistant in any and all aspects. After some time off my mother handed me her trusty camera so that I could continue what she built. Christina Armani Photography started in 2017 when I took a friend's Elopement pictures. From there I feel in love with Wedding Photography and being able to tell and share the story of love and commitment.

The communication was great. Our photos turned out AMAZING! She took great candid shots and really nice ones of the venue, food set up, my boots with my bouquet and while getting hair & make up done.

We are painters when it comes to film. We enjoy creating love stories that poke at the heart of emotion. There’s an art to visually piecing a love story together. We have a strong eye for detail, and focus on really diving into a couples love and expressing their emotion for one another through our lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
Avec L'Amour captured our wedding in June of 2023. We went with Avec L'Amour because we really liked the style and felt the prices were extremely reasonable compared to some of the other videographers out there. We went with the package that included the highlight film and the feature-length film. The audio on the feature-length film is a little tough to hear because of all the background noise, but we were outdoors and in front of a lake, so it’s understandable. While planning for our wedding, we worked directly with John. He had great energy and seemed very prepared every time we interacted with him. However, we never met John in-person because the day before our wedding, he reached out saying he could no longer make it and would be sending a replacement instead. This was understandably very stressful, but fortunately the replacement he sent was awesome. We would have liked to know this update earlier if possible, however we know that’s not always possible, and this was our only complaint in working with him. When John sent us the footage of our wedding, we were so happy with it with the exception of one place where the audio didn’t match up, one place where suddenly the video went purple, and the fact that one of our best man’s speeches was completely left out of the highlight reel; we brought these concerns to John, and he fixed them with no hesitation in a timely manner. Though we can’t review John’s videography or wedding day presence directly, we did have a good experience with his company and would recommend it!

Amanda is by far the best photographer I’ve worked with. She and her co shooter Renee are so personable and will put endless effort into making your day perfect. My videographer was late for my first look/ vows. Amanda didn’t hesitate to make sure she got photos, but also recorded it so we’d still be able to have footage. The whole day she went above and beyond to make sure we were getting all the photos we wanted, making sure the groom and I were eating and comfortable, she even jumped on the dance floor to get people dancing and keep the energy high! She got preview photos to me 3 days after the wedding. The preview was huge and amazing. If Amanda is available on your wedding day book her ASAP!!

Christian Reyes Photography is a wedding photography business based in Winston Salem, North Carolina that will capture unique moments while cheering you on from behind the camera. With professionalism, creativity and a knack for connecting with people, they will produce beautiful images while also becoming good friends with each couple.

I met Christian about a year ago at a work function. She was kind and genuine which I really appreciate in people. About a year later, I decided to elope but the planning company I chose came with a photographer. I wanted Christian to photograph my elopement and was disappointed that it wouldn't happen. I knew I really wanted to work with Christian so I hired her for my after elopement/wedding session photos. I think it was one of the best decisions I made when it came to my elopement. Christian alleviated any anxiety I had when it came to any questions or worries that arose. It was starting to look like the weather wasn't panning out. She promptly responded with a plan of action giving me choices that made the entire situation easier and painless. She even (online) scouted locations in the area, leaving me to enjoy my elopement and not have to worry about another thing I needed to plan. Day of Christian made me feel beautiful. She complimented me and my husband, making us beam. He's usually very reserved in front of people. But her calming and accepting demeanor encouraged him to become himself and not be so camera shy. Christian was so communicative throughout the entire post process. Letting me know at what stage she was in the editing process. When I say the photos came out better than I could have imagined it is and understatement. I love the colors and the authentic moments she was able to catch between me and my husband. I love my gallery so much I'll be redoing our ACTUAL wedding photos with her in the upcoming future. If you're questioning if you should hire Christian, her value outweighs her cost 10 fold. Don't hesitate to hire her, I know I won't.

She is extremely organized, timely, and really knows what she is doing. Not only did my husband and I love Libby, but we also had a ton of guests & people in the wedding party come up to us stating how wonderful our planner was. She is the full package. I am someone who can be all over the place, especially when it comes to decision-making, and I had zero knowledge of the wedding space before my own. She stuck with me the entire time, showing so much patience, guiding me through everything.

Doug Burke Photography is a photography & videography studio based in Greensboro, NC that also serves Winston Salem, Lexington, High Point, Kernersville, Charlotte and is always available for travel. I work hard to make sure I cater to you in every aspect from the initial contact, during the session and after the final photos are delivered. Being able to connect with clients comes easy for me, and I have a knack for making those around me feel comfortable, which also contributes to genuine images.

As a fellow wedding vendor, I can confidently say that Doug is one of the best photographers I have ever worked with. He is efficient, professional, has a great artistic eye, and is easy to get along with. Another thing that stands out is his prices, I don't think I've seen another photographer at his price point that can deliver the same level of quality and great customer experience. If you're within his service area, hiring him is an incredibly easy choice!

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!

We used Optikool Illusion for our wedding and my husband's business website. The pictures came out magnificent. The team is extremely easy to work with and their detailed precision is simply magnificent. I would absolutely recommend them for your big day. Listen you only get married once, and you want to ensure that the big day is something you can capture and remember forever.

Growing up, I was obsessed with magical love stories. Fairy tale love stories always left me with a euphoric feeling. I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

As a videographer working alongside a good photographer on a wedding day means a lot. Caitlin is always a photographer I highly recommend! She cares deeply about every individual she works with. She is creative with the shots she captures to keep each gallery fresh and unique. She is one of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure of working with! Every time I see her name on one of my vendor forms asking who I'm working with, my heart fills with joy. It is so much fun working alongside Caitlin and I can not speak highly enough of her and her work!

Rachel got into a fender bender on the way to our venue the day of the wedding. She communicated it quickly to me and she and the cake were okay!! I’m extremely grateful she still got the cake to us! She is the sweetest and I would book her again in a heartbeat!

Hey! My name is Erica and I'm a Charlotte based photographer. I started my business in Syracuse NY and now currently photograph in both areas. I've been in the wedding industry since 2006 and how photographed more weddings than I can count.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are soooo happy with our choice to hire Erica for our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day! We found her information in the Skaneateles Wedding Guide and when I reached out to her, she responded within the hour. From the very beginning she showed us how responsive and professional she was, while also still being SO friendly, warm, and easygoing. I get camera shy easily and I let her know of this - her response made me feel so comforted and less anxious. Her style of shooting is really laid back and fun - we didn't even feel like we were being photographed to be honest. She had us do funny prompts to make us laugh, or would sneak photos from somewhere without us even seeing. She has such an eye for creative shots that really represented us as a couple. Her and her assistant Marissa were an AWESOME team. HIRE HER!

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Hey! I'm Amanda. I’m a mama to Loretta Grace & Amelia Faye, wife to John & friend to YOU!! I love natural posing and I am a true candid photographer. Prompting you to do the silliest things, knowing you think I’m crazy, and then showing the end result is one of my favorite things ever. I take a lot of pride in my work, my business, and the overall customer service I provide my clients. It’s important to me that you feel heard, seen, and respected. I spend my free time Diamond painting, listening to true crime, and eating way too much sushi.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Loretta Grace Photography who truly captured the essence of the moment. Their attention to detail and creative eye resulted in stunning photos that exceeded all my expectations. Not only were they professional and easy to work with, but they also made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this photographer to anyone looking for exceptional quality and a unique perspective in their photoshoots. Thank you for creating such beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!
