Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017.

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Sharon and her second shooter, Hannah, are simply the best. Sharon's professionalism, creativity, customer service and commitment to detail were unmatched during the planning process and everything came to a beautiful crescendo on our wedding day in Charlotte, NC in June 2024. She understands family dynamics and approaches her work with love and respect. Her innate ability to capture light, emotion, movement and grace cannot be overstated.

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mikkel was more than just our photographer, she was a partner to us for the wedding as a whole! We had a destination wedding on the new Disney cruise ship, the Wish, and while it was an amazing time there were definitely challenges to planning a destination wedding at a brand new venue that we couldn't see until the wedding trip itself. Mikkel has a strong network of contacts in the industry that kept her informed of the ship and logistics and she ended up being more helpful to us than our Disney wedding coordinator! She checked in multiple times throughout our wedding planning on photography things such as the timeline, but also helped in providing her opinion on things like the bridesmaid dresses, the locations for the first look, and was generally helpful with her wealth of knowledge of Disney Cruise Line weddings to bounce ideas off of. Her pictures were INCREDIBLE! The quality, coloring, angles, lighting, everything about them is absolutely perfect. But most importantly, she is such a warm and happy person to work with that we felt incredibly comfortable posing in front of her for hours on end! We also had the luxury of her husband helping us a bit too and they were such a team, working together in the hot Bahamian sun quickly and effectively without even needing to direct each other most of the time to maximize how many pictures we could get before the sweat ruined our dress/suit/hair! Another attribute of Mikkel's that's worth mentioning is her flexibility. We took pictures with her the days before and after our wedding in addition to the big day, and our plan and timeline for the full weekend was completely in flux due to the chaos of our venue. If that caused issues for Mikkel, we never knew as she was upbeat and positive and leaned into every challenge that came our way. Honestly I could go on and on about her, she's exactly who we needed for our wedding and I am so grateful that we found her. If you are considering Mikkel, stop thinking about it and just book her - you won't regret it!

When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

My family has always told me that I have a special knack for bringing out the beauty in everything. I put my talents to work and in 2015, I established Alissa Jean Photography! I love blending light and vibrance to create a glowing atmosphere around my client’s most memorable moments. My most favorite moments to capture are golden hour photos! In the glow and flow of a bright sunset, I can really highlight the passion present in any couples eyes and every client’s smile. Living in East Tennessee provides the perfect backdrop for my work. I love creating timeless portraits that capture the true feeling and charm to any moment!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

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.

Five stars all around for honestly the best human and wedding photographer. We did three shoots with Jason since his pricing is so fair. We loved all of them! He’s so good with seeing the perfect backdrop where you’d never think one exists. And it was so meaningful to watch his style develop over the years that we’ve been working with him. We hope to always lean on him to capture our special occasions and moments. Thank you Jason from the bottom of our hearts for helping us hold onto the best times of our lives!

Luis and Barbara were amazing! They are personable and easy to work with. We needed them at the church wedding ceremony as well as the resort which was a couple of hours away. They had no problem transitioning between the two locations. The photos are great also! I would definitely hire them again.

You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

I’m a zealous photographer who gets way too excited about sunsets and gorgeous venues & landscapes. The only thing that could ever make them better is YOU! It’s such a blast having the privilege of documenting weddings & elopements in beautiful places with beautiful people—especially when there’s golden light. I find great joy in providing vivid, exquisite, and timeless photos and videos that you can cherish for a lifetime!

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily captured incredible photos of a February wedding at our venue! We were so worried about some red mud areas from excavation work ruining some of their wedding photos & Emily insured that there was no red mud in any photos! That was extra work for her to do & she happily did that for her wedding couple & myself!! She goes above & beyond with her work. I love that she asked me, the owner of a new event space, what she could capture for me for advertising! That was so sweet of her. I gave her specifics & she delivered just that! It’s important to hire a professional photographer that listens to your vision. I can tell her heart is deeply invested in her photography. It isn’t just a job to her. Anyone that works with Emily will notice that! It’s refreshing to meet a hard worker with so much passion! Emily will not let you down!
