More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process.

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

From the very first interaction, the team at Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was incredibly responsive, patient, and detailed in their communication with us. On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

Wow Lauren's work is stunning! I loved her style before I got engaged and knew I wanted to work with her for my wedding. I am so thankful I had her there. She was on top of my timeline and made sure I got exactly what I wanted for my photos. My groom was dreading pictures and she made it fun. It was our favorite part of the night

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was amazing throughout the wedding planning process. As part of the package he took our engagement photos, this was to help get to know us and what we liked and didn't like. I think this was part of the reason we were so comfortable during the wedding. My family really enjoyed interacting with Justin and was amazing with how many photos he took during the ceremony and at the reception. We also had a 2 hour gap between the ceremony and reception, and I think that helped with taking out time to get all the family photograph and couple pictures. During the engagement and ceremony we had out dog involved, and got some amazing photos with Lilly, which was great. Justin's style is a little more muted, and looks amazing with the outdoor locations we choose for the engagement and ceremony. He did a great job of capturing both posed and candid photos, and helped us get comfortable with the 'posed candid' photos of us walking or goofing off. Can't wait to get the rest of our wedding photos, but the engagement and sample we've gotten was amazing.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

I would highly recommend Juan for any future photoshoot opportunities!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives. Can’t recommend Jarrod enough - thanks for everything 11/10 !!!

A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Florida, and now I am back in North Carolina. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging at home with my two Aussies (because, let’s be honest, they run my household). Dogs are my world, which is why I’m always equipped with at least two lint rollers during every shoot (I’ve pretty much achieved Master Lint Roller status by now). Every moment is special and worth capturing, and my job is to help tell your story in a way that honors your love and feelings for one another.

Blythe Eland Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding day. Blythe Eland is not who we originally booked with (although now I wish we had known about her from the start!) The night before our wedding, our wedding photographer let us know that one half of their two person team would not be able to make it and that Blythe Eland would be filling in as second shooter. I was certainly nervous to hear this information (especially the night before) but it was clear on the day of the wedding that I had nothing to worry about. Blythe arrived early and went above and beyond. Her photo ideas and instructions were fantastic, and she seamlessly took the lead to ensure our day went off without a hitch. We were so grateful for her professionalism and talent. Since our wedding, we've had the pleasure of working with Blythe two additional times and have been consistently impressed by her responsiveness, timeliness, and the beautiful photos she captures. We cannot recommend Blythe Eland Photography highly enough.

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!

When I say we LOVE working with Caitlin, we truly mean it!!! She is a light on wedding days. She is time-oriented, sweet, detailed, and extremely positive. She is dedicated to every aspect of her work and will guarantee an amazing product and friendship. WE LOVE HER!!

Congratulations!! What an exciting time in your life! I am truly honored that you have taken then time to consider me as your wedding photographer. Here's some fun facts about me... I am obsessed with sunsets, pickles are my favorite food, and espresso and tequila are my favorite drinks! I'm a mom of 3 teenagers, I have photographed a living president, and I've always lived close to water, but the mountains are my favorite place! Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer, I've acted in a movie, and I've watched every Marvel movie in chronological order. My biggest bucket list item is to travel the world and photograph in other countries!

Terah was absolutely amazing! She truly exceeded our expectations. She came fully prepared with a shot list and easily worked around some hiccups we had along the way. Our teaser photos turned out amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest. I cannot recommend her enough!

Celebrating life and love through film for over a decade. A PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY AND A HEART FOR STORYTELLING Leah Marie Photography + Stationery has since been featured in magazines, online publications and awarded the Client Choice. Your wedding celebration is one of the most important events of your life. Leah treats it with respect and care. She doesn’t miss a thing, it’s your big day where every moment counts and every detail matters. Leah offers more than taking pretty pictures on your wedding day. She will be there to help make your vision come to life. You can count on her to have your back and lend a hand in time of need.

Leah Marie Photography + Stationery is truly the BEST! Hire Leah if you are seeking a wedding photographer to capture those special moments as this is her beautiful gifting. She was suggested and we fell in love with her personality over the phone. She was radiant, joyful and exuberant. She traveled to North Georgia to photo and without us knowing, she even photographed our rehearsal. One of the qualities that makes Leah stand out above other photographers I've worked with, (I'm an actress and on set often) is her specialized eye on composition, lighting and movement in a photo and the way she makes everyone feel at ease. The photos she captured were published a week later in the magazine BEAUTIFUL. Our wedding was featured in a 7 page spread story about our celebration. The other huge selling factor about Leah is the softness she provides in the finished photo. It is a surreal, warm, quality filled with a love light that is consistent in all of the photos she prepped and sent to us. She delivers such emotional and epic photos. Our videographer was filming and you see Leah photographing us, not missing a moment and she complimented /coordinated with our wedding palette. It was incredible. My sister consistently said how she wished she had a fraction of the talent in her wedding photographer. Leah is a rare gift. You not only get a photographer but a friend and a joyful personality celebrating your special day with you. Didn't miss a moment, talented, professional, easy to work with and turned around photos within moments.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.
