She was very enthusiastic throughout the process and really seemed to be enjoying our nuptials as much as the other guests were. We had to plan the wedding reception on short notice after Hurricane Helene resulted in closure of our original venue. There were so many moving parts for reorganizing our event but she guided us along the way and relieved any stress from the entertainment component. She followed through and delivered on everything that we discussed and was very professional throughout. We would highly we recommend her for your wedding reception or event!

Nathan Rivers Chesky Photography & Film

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $4,300
  • Serves Horse Shoe, NC

Hi! My name is Nathan Rivers Chesky and I am a wedding storyteller. For over a decade I have captured weddings as a photographer, director, and cinematic videographer. I have traveled the world as a photographer and film maker documenting the genuine beauty of this world in portraits, moments, and real interactions. My team and I have found our place telling the unique story of every couple through photography and video with our specific balance of direction and creating the space for real moments for you to be who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures. I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

Paige and Holly were a dream to work with! Music and dancing was one of the highest priorities for our wedding. Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party. They took all of my favorite songs and wielded them expertly to keep the dance floor packed all night --- from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Our wedding night wouldn't have been the same without them, and I wish I could relive that dance floor a million times over. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding music and how much fun our guests had. I am so jealous that you, the prospective client, have the opportunity to book Paige & Holly for a future event. I truly can't hype them up enough.

  • Photographer

  • Serves Horse Shoe, NC

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start? Liz was an incredible wedding planner from day one. My wedding was in September, and we booked Liz in August of the previous year—it was one of the best wedding planning decisions I made. It’s hard to believe she was juggling other weddings with how communicative and responsive she was. Liz spent so much time meeting with me and working on things outside of our scheduled meetings, it felt like I was her only client! Liz was always just a phone call, text, or email away for anything wedding-related. If I needed a vendor recommendation, she’d have five lined up that perfectly fit my budget and vision by the next day—and sometimes she even reached out to them for me! She was my sounding board for everything: organization, design, dealing with wedding drama, and so much more beyond what we discussed during our monthly meetings. Liz planned each monthly meeting with a specific focus, whether it was ceremony layout, décor and floral, the seating chart, alcohol planning, or other details. Each meeting was another chance to ask questions and get help with anything I was working on. In addition to planning, Liz handled all of the décor for my wedding. I rented the décor from her, and she did all the setup and tear down, making the day completely stress-free. The space looked absolutely beautiful, and I didn’t have to lift a finger! The month leading up to the wedding, we had weekly meetings to review everything we had done and finalize the little details. When it came to the wedding weekend, Liz and her assistant Sammi were amazing, supportive, and incredibly helpful. They allowed me to relax and enjoy the rehearsal and wedding, knowing everything was under control. This is only a small fraction of how essential Liz was in planning my wedding. She is truly a one-of-a-kind person and wedding planner, and it’s so inspiring to see someone who excels at their job. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Highland Brewing Company was an incredible venue for our Welcome Party from the very beginning, the communication with Erin Winters and Monica Mayville was quick, responsive, and easy to work with. When we had to quickly move our welcome party from New Belgium in February due to the hurricane, the team at Highland Brewing worked with us to get us situated for an April wedding. The spacious venue was perfect for our 99 person welcome party, and the staff was fantastic in helping us execute our special day. The beautiful space and great communication made our wedding day perfect. We highly recommend Highland Brewing Company as a wedding venue.

I don't even know where to start! Laren was the perfect photographer, and here are 10 reasons why: 1. She was super communicative. 2. She was always open to hearing my ideas and brainstorming together. 3. She woke up incredibly early to take our sunrise engagement photos to get the best shots. 4. She took my vision and made it happen. 5. She coached my husband and I how to model—posing isn't our strong suit. 6. I recommend doing engagement photos with her as well. It's a great way to build rapport and get little coaching in, while having a cohesive set of photos. 7. She's super professional, warm, friendly, and easy going. 8. She took a wide variety of shots. I really wanted those organic candids, and she made sure to take a good selection. 9. My wedding guests loved her! They kept talking about how nice and professional she was. 10. The photos themselves were perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better images. All of our friends constantly talk about how amazing our photos are. I could keep going! We loved having her as our photographer.
