  • Serves Gastonia, NC for additional fees

No trends, no awkward poses. Just love, laughter and emotion.  While photographs are one of the few things you walk away from your wedding with, they aren’t the sole purpose of your event. You are there to get married, see your people, and celebrate this moment in your life. The photographs come far after that. This day is all about your love for each other. However you naturally stand together, embrace each other, whether you visit people on different sides of the room or hold hands all day, whatever story you tell on your wedding day is going to be preserved as such. Weddings are just love stories wrapped up into one day.

Daria and her partner were so wonderful to work with. They made everything quick and easy and got beautiful photos for us. They were also so quick to send previews after both our rehearsal and our wedding! Highly recommend using them for your big day.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

If you're considering an elopement, do yourself a favor and book Angelina Carrasquillo Captured! Angie is a true gem in the photography world, and we're forever grateful for the magic they created for us. Trust me, you won't regret it! Seriously, it felt like we were hanging out with a friend rather than posing for a photographer! Angie has a knack for making you feel totally comfortable and natural. Her playful vibe had us laughing and enjoying every moment, which made for the most genuine and beautiful shots.

Hi, I'm Laurel! I love to capture authentic, candid moments between you and your loved ones, as well as variations on classic poses. I like to think of myself as a storyteller for sweethearts in love. I specialize in natural light wedding photography, with an emphasis on fine art and candid images. On wedding days, my second shooter is my sweet husband, Jakub– that’s right, we are a husband and wife team! I love shooting all the emotion-filled moments and delicate details on your wedding day, and I couldn’t imagine doing it without Jakub by my side. We when aren't photographing, we are usually spending time with our Holland Lop, Beau!

Laurel and Jakub are hands down the best people to work with, from the beginning to the end, and every part in between. During our engagement session Laurel and Jakub hopped on our gator and rode around the farm with us and even crawled under our electric fence to enter our horse pasture, while getting all friendly with one of the horses! During the bridal session they both made me feel like I was literally the only one that mattered. I felt like the prettiest person and Laurel was the ultimate hype person. The day of the wedding was nothing but love and laughter. Laurel and Jakub helped the day flow smoothly and both of them had the biggest smiles on their faces. I absolutely adore this couple and would recommend them a thousand times over!!!

Hi! I'm Katie with Lone Peak Photography, and I provide elopement and wedding photography for couples who want the most out of their day. A timeless, authentic, and in-the-moment approach to my photography style helps me capture special moments perfectly. In the least cliché way possible, photographing couples is more than a job to me, so I put all of my skill, creativity, and love into my work. I believe your wedding photos are an artistic representation of your relationship and what makes your love unique to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I contacted Katie on a Wednesday for a last minute elopement happening that Saturday. Even though she already had personal plans for the day, she cleared her schedule to capture our Wedding Day. I told her where we were planning on getting married because we wanted a view of the mountains in the photos. She made some phone calls and secured us a way better location with stunning views of the mountains. She asked about details on our wedding day and she could clearly tell I didn’t have much planned as I didn’t even have a dress yet. Katie went out of her way and helped me find the most gorgeous dress. On our wedding day, she brought some small props from her home to spice up our elopement location and even threw together a bouquet for me. Our wedding day was on March 21st, it was 30 degrees and very windy. Katie braved the cold weather and captured stunning photos that I will cherish forever. I can’t express how grateful I am for Katie and this wonderful experience. She did not act only as a photographer, but also went above and beyond to act as a day-of planner for me, seeing that I needed help pulling this off. I can’t say enough how appreciative I am to have had such a wonderful photographer work with me on my wedding day. I could not have pulled this off without her.

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

She made everything so smooth and really allowed us to enjoy our wedding to the fullest without feeling pressured to pose for the camera all night. She was there for every single important moment, planned or not, big or small, and she was able to capture the feelings of those moments so perfectly. We really feel like we’re reliving our wedding day when we look at the photos. I’m so excited to ooo and aw at these for the rest of my life! If you’re wanting someone kind, genuine, and incredibly dedicated to capturing every moment you need Faith!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Luxe Affairs is based out of SWFL and we specialize in fun, creative yet elegant weddings. Nicole started over 10 years ago working for her parents' business, specializing in lighting, draping, and décor for weddings. As she gained experience, she transitioned into wedding planning, honing her skills in creating unforgettable events. Over the past year, she expanded her expertise by working in the floral industry, designing stunning arrangements and decor. This diverse background gives her a unique ability to handle every detail of your wedding, blending creativity and experience to bring your vision to life.

When you've made that big decision to walk down the aisle with the love of your life, be sure that your next decision is to call Nicole and get on her calendar as your wedding planner. You will get 100% of her time and attention to detail, making you feel like you are the most important person in the world before you even get to the big DAY. Because we all know you ARE the most important person in the world on your wedding day! Nicole is a bottomless resource of creative suggestions and ideas. Yet, she manages to create each wedding unique to the couple getting married. In addition to her creativity, she is also timely, extremely organized, and most importantly, she was fun to work with! She knows what works and what doesn't work. Listen to her! On the 'day of' Nicole was literally the glue that held everything together for everyone involved. She arrived at the venue fully prepared with her trusty fanny pack, filled with every resource that could possibly be needed for any type of quick fix - you needed it, she had it. Wearing her cute little signature sparkly sneakers, she sprinted thru the day, orchestrating every moving part starting from the setting up of the venue to the departure of the last guest. There were a few issues that day, but Nicole was such a pro at handling the glitches, we didn't even know about them until after the reception was over! The mark of a true professional. She is the main reason my husband and I felt like guests at our own wedding/reception. At the reception a dear friend commented that the entire wedding day was 'magical'. And it truly was - special from the very beginning to the very end, including perfect weather. Nicole gets full credit for making the magic happen! Thank you, Nicole!

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Melissa Cervantes Photography was a joy to work with! Melissa is an excellent communicator and a true professional. She delivered high quality, moody and authentic photos that perfectly captured the special moments from our wedding day. She helped guide us through the day, keeping us on schedule while also making the photo sessions relaxed and fun. Melissa is so creative and talented with a camera - she was able to compose beautiful shots that felt natural and unposed. Her flexibility was also greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Melissa for wedding photography. She brings energy, passion and artistry to her work, while also putting couples at ease. We will treasure the gorgeous photos Melissa took on our special day.

I fell in love with photography about 15 years ago when I started travelling the world. I was always coming back home and showing my family and friends pictures that I'd taken while away from home. I used to have multiple scrapbooks with photos and small stories attached to them. My heart fell in love with photojournalism. Telling someone's story through photos is my favorite thing to do. And when it comes to weddings, I prefer to photograph everything from the very beginning all the way to the end of the day. To capture all the small details of your day and all the smiles.

We really loved Daria as a photographer and think this was a great choice to hire her for our engagement photos! I especially love how the final edits turned out. She was very open to communication from the get-go, and tried to be as accommodating as possible. She always took care of all the communications herself, and that alone made it more personal than the other professionals we talked with. With our crazy working schedule we aren’t always able to make time in the evening and Daria worked with us through that as well. I’m really glad I was able to work with her!

I love capturing the unseen, messy, and perfectly imperfect photos that you never even knew you wanted. I live for those emotive, raw, storytelling moments. I take a documentary approach to my work with a little bit of editorial; My style is candid and my focus is authentic connection through my images. If I were to describe my style; VIBRANT | RICH | BOLD+COLORFUL.

I wish there were more stars I could give Jeny. She was so wonderful to work with AND she helped me with my day of timeline! Our wedding photos are everything we could have asked for and more. We’re so lucky to have found her being that we live in PA, and I so wish we were closer so we could do more shoots with her! 11/10 110% recommend. I’m so thrilled we have these gorgeous photos to remember the most perfect day with. THANK YOU JENY!!

I've been a wedding photographer for 11+ years I get to work with many down-to-earth and spontaneous couples. The carefree couples that aren’t afraid of rainy portraits, laughing until it hurts or tossing their shoes to run in the waves. When we work together my desire is that I’m not just your photographer but more like an addition to your bridal party. I spend a lot of time helping with your dress, making sure your hair stays mostly intact, holding your phone or make up in my bag and talking to your best friend about your craziest story.

Joyelan Photography was so great to work with from day one. We always feel a little awkward in photos and Joy made us and our guests so comfortable. She was very responsive during planning and our photos came out better than we could have imagined! She captured the entire day and didn’t miss a moment. 10/10 hire her! Worth every penny

Sarah started playing harp for weddings in 2009 at the age of 14. She has loved playing at weddings, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and elopements ever since. She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

My name is Casey and I have been photographing weddings for almost a decade. I've always loved being behind the lens but something about capturing the love between two people and all the people who love them fills my cup all the way up! I bring a level of enthusiasm, expertise and passion to helping create the fairytale day of peoples dreams! I truly love what I do and look forward to all the special days I get to be apart of!

Awarded Best of Zola
Casey was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our first conversation, she was responsive, asked thoughtful questions to understand what we envisioned, and clearly explained what her packages offered. Casey made us feel at ease through a process that can be stressful. On the wedding day, she blended seamlessly to capture candid moments while also efficiently directing some posed family photos. The end result told the story of our wedding beautifully through clean, visually striking images that we will treasure. The quality of Casey's work far exceeded our expectations for what we paid. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any couple looking for a talented photographer who will capture the essence of your special day.

BEST of Georgia 2023 Winner for Event Caterer, Yae's Eats & Catering LLC specializes in down home southern cooking. We have a wide variety of menu options and make just about any dish you desire. We have a passion for food and take pride in what we do. We offer full service catering, drop off catering, personal chef services etc.

Wedding food sometimes gets a bad reputation, for good reason I suppose. But I can say definitively that Anyae and team cooked the best wedding meal I’ve ever had - I REALLY loved our dinner. Beyond that, out of all of our vendors, they were consistently one of the only ones we didn’t have to stress over. Anyae is consistently responsive (despite my many, many tedious questions), and her flexibility and caring nature truly went above and beyond even our best expectations. Anyae was not just a caterer - she became a confidant and a friend. We found Anyae when we had to fire our original caterer for basically ghosting us and being wishy-washy with poor communication regarding our reception venue’s simple requirements regarding open flame. Anyae stepped in and saved the day, despite a relatively quick turnaround (for weddings at least). We were so impressed with her team’s professionalism and DANG GOOD FOOD. We’d hire them again in a heartbeat and will recommend them to all of our friends. Absolutely phenomenal experience. Cannot say enough good things. Thank you, Anyae, for everything. You are amazing.

Hello, my name is DJ Joey B. My job is to make your next event, One To Remember! I do not scratch, I just play the best music tailored to your event. I have been DJing professionally since 2005. I have had the opportunity to DJ all types of events. I got my start while I was working for Pearson Music Company. While there I was learning about live sound setups and DJ setups. I made friends with many of the local DJ’s in the area. They told me I should put my love of music together with my knowledge of sound equipment and bring music to the masses.

Joey went above and beyond to make our day amazing. He adjusted with the rain delays and made everything work with a positive attitude. I was especially impressed that multiple times throughout dinner he checked on us to see if we needed anything to drink etc. Something he certainly did not have to do, but seemed eager to help. We appreciate his kindness and professionalism.

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

You need to book Kim whether it be for an event or photoshoot because you will not be disappointed!!! I recently got married at Windham Manor and was only looking for photographers who have photographed there. I found Kim since she was one of the photographers tagged on the venue’s instagram page. Kim was very responsive from the beginning and although i was still a year and a half away from my wedding, we scheduled a zoom call and started planning immediately. The call was very productive as she helped me generate a timeline super early in the game that helped me start planning and getting everything in order with my other vendors. She also showed me photos she had already taken at the venue which were stunning and exactly what we envisioned. Come to the big day, Kim was there early to set up and was ready to go immediately. She let me know her plan along the way and made sure that we were sticking to the timeline and had no problem being able to quickly adjust to things that were not under our control. Either way, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her, including helping me button my extremely difficult dress!! She honestly acted like a friend and was there for us the entire night while also being able to capture everything we wanted. I knew the photos were going to be amazing but she totally exceeded our expectations. She sent some teasers the day after and we were completely blown away by the colors, angles, and backdrops. You can tell that she put so much time into each photo because every single one is stunning. Not to mention, she took soooo many photos and really captured everything from start to finish. We are so grateful to have so many pictures that we can have for a lifetime. Everyone I have shared the photos with have said the same exact thing I worked with a few photographers in my life and I have to say that Kim was the best. Her talent and professionalism is unmatched. I seriously hope we can work with her again one day!!

Based in the heart of Nashville and journeying with couples worldwide full-time since 2018, I specialize in crafting timeless, low-stress, editorial images and elevated, audio-centric cinematic wedding films. For the free-spirited and the adventurous, for the lovers of art and bold style, your dream wedding memories await. Everyone deserves to have their wedding captured with care, creativity, and kindness. I can't wait to create an amazing experience for you and your partner.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

Weddings are a celebration of love. As humans, we have a deep, primal need for a “village,” a group of people whom we trust to support us. And where would we be without the love of our family and chosen family? It heals us, brings us together, celebrates our differences, and it allows us to keep going when this big adventure gets scary. So when we get together for a wedding, we get to share that love with those we care about. Just like a painter or a poet, those involved in the planning of a wedding are artists hired to create a scene that reflects the love in the space. We would love to be a part of your team!

Madi at the Flower Garden Shop was a joy to work with. I gave her some ideas and the general vibe/colors I wanted and she made my meadow wedding dreams come to life. She had amazing ideas to help with cost and still keep my vision intact. She was fast to respond to any of my questions and make changes on the fly. I would absolutely recommend them to anybody looking for florists.

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a huge fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Chris to capture our special day. However, it goes beyond just that singular day. We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process. He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was already so invested in making sure he was exactly the photographer we were looking for so we could truly get the most out of our day. He also took the time to visit the venue after our meeting to get an idea of what he'd be working with. Chris went above and beyond, every step of the way. He even made it a point to come during the rehearsal as well to be even further prepared. Everything flowed organically with his direction which took away so much stress from the day. Professionalism aside, Chris is just a good dude all around. We're so happy to come away from this experience with not only an amazing portfolio of memories, but a passionate and charismatic friend.
