  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Kinston, NC

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

From the very first moment I met Kiersten, I knew she was the perfect choice to document our wedding. Her warm and engaging personality made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day. The way she captures the essence of a moment is nothing short of magical. Her romantic style effortlessly highlights the love and joy shared between us and our guests. Each photograph tells a beautiful story, filled with emotion and grace. We were especially impressed by her ability to capture candid moments, turning fleeting seconds into cherished memories that we will treasure forever. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for their craft are evident in every shot. Whether it was a quiet, intimate exchange or a lively dance floor scene, she managed to capture every moment. In addition to how talented she is, she brought a sense of calm and joy to the day. Her friendly demeanor and approach made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and compassionate photographer to be a part of our celebration. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning, romantic images but also add a touch of warmth and personal connection to your wedding day, we wholeheartedly recommend Kiersten. She is truly one of the sweetest souls.

  • Serves Kinston, NC

After graduating college my goal was to coach and work in the fitness industry. Long hours and the realization that I was working really hard to make someone else a lot of money led me to entrepreneurship. I left a job in 2019 to start my own business. That little business is now my career! My love for photography and helping other families like mine preserve memories has only grown since starting my own family. My kids are my "why" and I truly believe being a mother and a wife has made me a better businesswoman.

We initially met Taylor at a vendor open house and we immediately fell in love! Since then, we have added her to our preferred vendor list and have suggested her to wedding clients. She is personable, professional, and easy to work with. We have also used her multiple times to take professional photos of our team and have always been blown away! You can always expect her to over deliver and exceed your expectations. She gives suggestions on event day based on venue, lighting, and the overall look you are trying to achieve. We cannot recommend her enough, she is a gem!

  • Serves Kinston, NC

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
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun!

We cannot recommend Kali enough! Covid-19 was not part of the wedding we dreamed of or planned, but with all of the support and help Kali helped make our dreams come true and put our anxieties at ease. She was very attentive and was a delight to work with! Her fun loving personality makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with your best friend. We could not be happier with the way our photos came out and know we will treasure them for years to come. If you want a kind, creative, and talented wedding photographer look no further!

My goal is to make film videography accessible and memorable for everyone who wants their special moments captured. After learning and teaching Super8 videography for my own elopement and micro-wedding 2 years ago, I wanted to develop my business to offer Super8 to all! I specialize in couples, elopements, and micro-weddings. My average pricing depends on the event type, duration, and details!

My now-fiancé surprised me by having a super8 film taken of our engagement and I am so beyond words. Kiley made sure to catch all the important moments as well as the little details that only a trained eye would notice. She captured our engagement and love story so beautifully and now we have this amazing video to look back on the rest of our lives. I promise super 8 is a worthwhile investment. You won’t regret booking Kiley!

Hello beautiful couples! Looking for a videographer? I’m your girl! ✨ I specialize in capturing your day in a way that’s unique to you and your love story. I love getting all the moments, even the little in between ones that may go unseen. Your day goes by SO fast, so it’s great to have someone who’s ready to be there for you and make sure you don’t miss a beat when you look back on your day. PS - I also do photo! We absolutely love capturing raw and natural moments. We strive to make your wedding film dreams come true while being helpful in planning and supporting you throughout your journey.

A great videographer to capture it all then you should absolutely go with Hailey Hughes Photography. I have to say we are a rowdy group of people and poor Hailey met us the day of the wedding, she was so professional, sweet and really easy to get a hold of during the planning process. I found Hailey on a Facebook group for weddings and I was nervous hiring that way because I see some people get scammed by other photographers/videographers BUT let me tell you that Hailey is not one of those, she did a phenomenal job on our videos, I got a social media trailer and I got all the raw footage and I honestly don’t know which one I love more. I have watched them multiple times a day since I got them back. I am so in love with everything she captured. If you are wondering whether or not you should hire her the answer is yes you should. I think our biggest reasoning for hiring her is she was affordable for us especially since we paid for everything ourselves while raising 3 boys (iykyk) if I could attach my video here I would absolutely do so but there’s no option. You won’t regret hiring her!

Rainey Day Bouquets

  • Florist
  • Serves Kinston, NC
  • Offer

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

While I didn’t use her for a wedding — I most certainly will once I get married! Morgan’s floral arrangements are so well done that I asked to purchase some to decorate my home. Her customer service and attention to detail is out of this world. 10/10 recommend.

Pick a Bloom was founded on love and laughter in small-town Surry, Virginia by us, a mother daughter duo, who wanted to see our vision of fresh flower alternatives bloom to life. We work primarily with 100% REAL preserved and dried flowers and foliage.

I had a wonderful experience working with the team at Pick A Bloom-Preserved & Dried Florist. They were easy to communicate with and listened exceptionally well to my unique needs after my mom passed away. The quality of their work and attention to small details was lovely. 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.

Welcome to Christine's Plates, a heartfelt journey inspired by the warmth of grandmother's kitchen. Our story is rooted in the rich tapestry of generational legacy, where rustic farm-inspired cuisine becomes a tribute to tradition, quality, and community. It all started with a simple apron, a symbol of love, and a spark that ignited our passion for food. Christine's Plates is more than a dining experience; it's a celebration of cherished memories and the enduring spirit of our grandmother's dream.

The evening was a delightful blend of intrigue and indulgence, with the tantalizing mystery unfolding amidst the clinking of crystal and the soft strains of classical music. The culinary delights were provided by none other than Christines Plates, whose garden-harvest seasonal salad and Tuscany chicken with egg noodles and spinach were the talk of the table. The accompanying broccoli and rolls were a testament to the simple pleasures of good food, while the rum cake dessert was a sweet ending to a thrilling evening. Here let my menu tell the tale.

When you are getting pictures done for your wedding, it is so important to have people that understand your style and vision. Thomas was great listening to us and was so efficient the day of our wedding. I was very pleased about this, since we had a very large wedding! We asked a lot of Thomas when he came out to take our engagement photos on South River. He spent half of the day riding in our nasty boat adventuring off into the sound & mosquito filled woods. But, let me tell you - those pictures were AMAZING! And the photobooth. WOW. YOU NEED THE PHOTOBOOTH AT YOUR WEDDING! We had the best time getting to look at the 300 pictures from our wedding guests. This is a really fun way to capture the thrills of the night because people have the freedom to take pictures the way they want to be seen. Really a fun thing to have at your wedding! If you are looking for a photographer that can capture all of life's beautiful moments...Thomas and his team at Grimes Photography are the ones for you. The photos speak for themselves, but they truly have the eye for what goes into that beautiful photo. We highly recommend Thomas and Grimes Photography.

Hi friend! I'm Tianna, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Originally, I'm from coastal NC but after graduating college, I settled in the Triangle and have been loving it ever since. I'm a girl mama, avid fantasy reader, travel enthusiast, and true crime junkie. There is nothing I love more than cuddling with my toddler (when she lets me), reading a great book, and drinking a cup of coffee. Growing up, I never imagined I would be a wedding photographer. I honestly thought I would be an author! While I'm not putting pen to paper, I am still telling my couples' love stories and loving every minute of it!

Wild Elegance 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Kinston, NC

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

We feel lucky to have had Joshua photograph our wedding day, his creativity and attention to detail is amazing. The photos came out so good that we can hardly choose our favorite one. Joshua of Starke Images made us feel comfortable and most of all, FUN. We didn't want the cookie cutter, generic wedding photos. Joshua's images made our photos look like they could belong in a magazine, the images are timeless and sharp! For the price and quality, highly recommend. We look forward to booking him again in the future, very happy!
