Rachel did an amazing job on our wedding cake!! It was visually just what I wanted! We went with red velvet for one layer and chocolate covered strawberry for the other. Both were delicious! 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!

We're Jaira + Jesse. We’re equal parts homebodies and avid travelers. We had a traditional wedding, and while it was the right decision for us at the time, looking back it could’ve been so much more intentional, focused on us + our relationship, and the things we’re the most passionate about. Because of that, we have grown to be super passionate and dedicated to helping couples create elopements and intimate weddings that are the truest reflection of themselves in the places that inspire them the most and documenting that for them.

Jaira and Jesse were absolutely incredible. My wedding was anything but normal thanks to Covid... they both stuck with me the entire way and went above and beyond to make sure they would make it(now to another state) to capture my wedding. They even helped me day of and did more than I could’ve ever expected to help make sure it all ran smooth just because that’s the kind of people they are. Their character speaks volumes for their work and their love and passion for photography speaks for itself in my pictures. I would recommend them time and time again as they were such a memorable part of my special day. Thanks guys for everything!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me count the ways that Laura is the best...and you would regret not having her capture your day. From the first moment you reach out to her she will take time to get to know you, your ideas you have for your day, go over options that may also fit your dreams that you may not have thought of, and give you the best quotes and jokes from start to finish. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease with the day and is always willing to go with the flow....and the weather in western NC is always all over the place so that's always a fantastic trait to have. Laura keeps up with her communication, gives amazing vendor recommendations if you're missing something, and can offer the best options for places to have your ceremony and additional pictures if you want a change of background scenery. Long story short, Laura is simply the best...movie quotes and all.

They created a special memorial for my mom by turning her corsage into an ornament that we could display at the wedding. The team sent photos throughout the creation process and everything arrived early, which helped make our special day run smoothly. I'm so grateful for their thoughtful service and beautiful florals.

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold!

I capture the moments most important to people in love. It is actually that simple. It is also where my agenda starts and ends. Nothing more, nothing less. I grew up in Southern California in a family of 4 children. There was not a single important moment in our childhood that was not captured on camera or video. At the time, it seemed like a nuisance, but now I am so grateful that my father saw how precious all of those moments were. Looking back at those videos, hearing our laughter, and looking at our smiles is priceless to me. I know this is where my deep passion for creating keepsake moments on film began.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jennifer was AMAZING to work with in every way. She went above and way beyond. Her prices were very affordable and what we received was much beyond what we would have expected. It was obvious that she cared about our wedding day and didn't just view us as "another couple." She was punctual, her communication was prompt, she provided a sneak peek AND a highlight film AND a recording of our ceremony that she still took the time to edit for us without us asking. Hiring Jennifer was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. You always hear that not hiring a videographer is one of a couple's biggest regrets, and I am so thankful that Jennifer made it possible for us to not have that regret. We will treasure our wedding video(s) for years to come. Recommend 1000%!!

They are the sweetest folks to work with. We had always wanted a video package but could not find an affordable option. Billy and Miss Cheryl did BOTH! We got photos and videos for two days and they even live streamed our wedding to our family overseas. Billy's photos are insane gorgeous and Cheryl's video captured everything we had dreamed of. I highly recommend them to everyoone wanting a amazing wedding.

Moira was the best photographer we could have hoped for! Not only was she flexible in the ever changing craziness of the day, but she made it so fun! We laughed pretty much the whole day through and it literally felt like we were working with a friend. On top of all that, the photos that we’ve received so far are absolutely amazing! She really captured the best parts of the entire day.

Sam Hill Entertainment is based out of Charlottesville, VA with bands located throughout the Southeast. Over the last 25 years, Sam Hill has helped tens of thousands of brides and grooms book the best in live music across the 50 states and for fly-in international weddings! Our bands cover Top 40 hits, fiery versions of Soul, smooth versions of Motown, elegant jazz classics, toe-tapping bluegrass, and country - it all exists among the performers we work with!

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

With their infectious energy and undeniable talent, this dynamic group of musicians is here to make your special occasion truly unforgettable. From weddings to corporate events, Chunky Daddy bring a unique blend of high-energy beats and upbeat melodies that guarantee to get your guests on their feet. Their performances are a seamless mix of classic and modern hits from across genres and decades. Whether you're looking for a romantic ballad or an uptempo dance number, their extensive repertoire ensures that every song reflects the vibe of your event.

We absolutely couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding bands. From start to finish, they were phenomenal! Their professionalism was evident in every interaction. Planning a wedding was difficult. Matt made planning the music easy. Communication was quick and clear, every single time. This band is a true professional team. On our wedding day, they arrived early, set up quickly, and were ready to go. We had plenty of day-of problems. Our dressing rooms weren't unlocked. The cake was an hour late. Two groomsmen had suits that didn't fit. Hair was 45 minutes late. If Jeremy & Matt had issues, we never knew about it. We are so grateful. The moment they began playing, the atmosphere was transformed. Their ability to read the crowd and keep the energy as the night moved forward. Jackie, their female vocalist, had a powerful voice that captivated every guest from song one. Their lively and engaging performance had everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along. Each band member is exceptionally talented. They even took the time to learn and perfectly execute our special song request, which made our first dance unforgettable. Guests are still raving about the band and how much fun they had. If you're looking for a wedding band that will elevate your special day and leave a lasting impression, look no further. This group is simply outstanding and worth every penny. They create a harmonious and vibrant sound and are truly impressive. Thank you for making our wedding day magical and filled with joyous memories.

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda both on weddings and as my co-host on the Super Gay Wedding podcast and she's earned my absolute highest recommendation. I literally recommend her to all of my clients. Beyond being a consummate professional and a lovely human, Amanda is a trained fine artist with an incredible eye for lighting and composition.

Amanda is a true team player who will do whatever it takes to make your wedding day work. An avid traveler and hiker with a small Jeep obsession, she'll also do that WHEREever it needs to be done. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Amanda RIGHT NOW.
