I'm Maria Hopewell, a passionate photographer with a love for capturing and preserving life’s precious moments. I'm so happy you're here and interested in my work. My signature style incorporates a blend of traditional posed images with an editorial edge. Maria Hopewell Photography offers a luxurious and professional experience from start to finish. I'm deliberate in my approach, but aim to make your experience comfortable and relaxing! My images are sharp, elegant, and full of rich color. The primary goal is to showcase my client’s authenticity, beauty, grace, and personality.

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

Hey! I'm Chantel, and beautifully capturing portrait moments that are fleeting and only happen once, gives me SO much joy. I document modern and romantic moments between couples by creating timeless images that showcase their true authenticity. I am here to guide you when you need me, help with all of the fluffing, and more importantly, capture those candid moments on your special day that should never be forgotten. My goal is to serve you and your fiance as your photographer but by the end of the wedding day, as your good friend too.

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!

I am thrilled that you have found your way here. Working in a creative field like photography, I have such an appreciation for movement and connection and meaningful, timeless images. It’s been my goal since becoming a full-time wedding photographer to deliver to my clients enduring images that can be appreciated by their children and grandchildren. Photography is about capturing that perfect moment but it is also about providing a positive portrait experience for my clients so that they not only remember the images but they remember how much fun they had making the memories.

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

As a wedding photographer, capturing what is by far one of the most important days of someone's life is just such an honor and an experience. I see it as an opportunity to capture, document, and preserve some of the most powerful emotions that we can experience as human beings. As a series of images that will last for generations. If you’re looking for beautiful, stunning images that truly capture you and your loved one's special day fueled by a passion for photography... as well as a warm, professional experience, I am the photographer for you.

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!

Alex Hines Photography is for the modern-styled couple who takes priority in tangible memories; memories that are timeless and unforgettable. Couples who value human connection and legacy. A wedding day is captured in a journalistic or documentary approach with very little guidance. With elegance and class, I specialize in off-guard flattering photos capturing in-the-moment emotion.

Being a mother, wife, and believer in Jesus has made me see the beauty of tears, smiles of joy, and bonds of union between two people ready for their new journey. A wedding is a celebratory day that everybody needs to remember as if it were yesterday, and that’s the reason why I love to capture real moments and transform them into memories. I will trace a timeline with the photos of your big day, and it will be like returning to the most beautiful day of your life. Because the things you live, I living them through my eyes.

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! 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!
