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.

We got married at a park and then had our reception somewhere else. She was very willing to go on a short hike to get our mountain pictures, drove 30 minutes to our reception, and got every single detail!!!!! She was also very helpful during the wedding! 100% best Photographer hands down!

Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

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!

Hey! It's me- your friendly neighborhood photographer! I am a Pisces. They say we're romantic and creative souls, so I guess it was written in the stars that I'd become this person. If you're into enneagrams, I am a 4- but this is new territory for me so I am not sure how I feel about that yet. They say I am good at this photography stuff and people seem to like me, so here I am!

Celeste is the absolute best at what she does. She is professional and detail oriented but also able to maintain a close relationship and have fun with her clients. I was a massive skeptic on professional photography- as me and my soon to be husband did not like being in-front of the camera. However, Celeste was so easy to open up with and not only was the experience to die for- she makes excellent company. My fiancé and I have grown close to Celeste and we look forward to our plans with her in the future. She is kind and open minded. She is punctual and flexible. She is witty and professional. Celeste has worked with my family and I to make sure that she makes it happen. My maternity photo location ended up being inaccessible the day of our session- and Celeste went above and BEYOND anything I could have asked if her. She set up a glamping tent on her OWN property and made magic with the circumstances we were given. She did my maternity photos in November of 2022, our first family photos in August of 2023, and will be not only photographing but a GUEST at our wedding in March of 2024. If you are new to professional pictures- or just looking for a breath of fresh air - I could not more passionately suggest anybody than Celeste.

I haven't even had my wedding yet and I am already so so pleased working with Barbara and Luis. We did a spring engagement shoot and wanted even more photos so opted for a second session in the fall, and I felt like the price for an additional hour was super fair and we got a ton of amazing photos (and with our 80lb dog which is not an easy ask)! They really made sure to get to know us and understand what kind of style we are looking for and I feel so confident with them being the photographers on our wedding day!

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!

Lauren Ashlie Imagery provided amazing photography for our wedding day. Her communication was efficient, clear, and prompt throughout the entire process making it so easy to work with her. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are so natural and detailed, capturing all the special moments beautifully. She also sent the sneak peak photos, along with the full portfolio, in a timely manner. Lauren was able to make me feel so relaxed and beautiful in front of the camera. I highly recommend Lauren Ashlie Imagery to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Amy Jennings Photography Videography captures your special moments and make memories come alive everytime you look at a picture. Personally & Professionally I believe in inclusion and equality to all.

From the first night we talked with Amy about our engagement photos, wedding vision and desires for timeless and clean pictures and videography, both Amy and Scott exceeded our expectations. Looking back on our wedding day, Amy and Scott were so much more than our photographer and videographer. They captured our day beautifully and worked seamlessly with our additional vendors to make the day perfect. Amy also came to our rehearsal dinner to further help in the organization which was amazing. The quality of the work that Amy and Scott Jennings produce is a reflection of the kind and wonderful people that they are. Five stars is truly not enough to rate Amy Jennings because she is an extraordinary talent. We would highly recommend Jennings Photography without reservation! Thank you, Scott and Amy both for using your gifts to produce priceless pictures of our special day!!

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!

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!

Since 2010, Aaron Jay Photography has worked with dozens of families, couples and events. Aaron Jay Photography has always been a people-pleaser. We love photography because we get to see people smile, laugh and be joyful. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than the look on a mother’s face as she sees the pictures he has taken of her children, or the look on a father’s face when he sees the pictures of his daughter on her wedding day. Aaron Jay Photography gets great satisfaction in knowing those moments we captured through a lens will be cherished forever.

We got married in the middle of a pandemic, via Zoom. Though none of our family or friends could be here, Aaron was able to come over and photograph us from a safe distance in our backyard. The pictures are absolutely amazing- better than anything I could have expected, even for a “normal” wedding. We love Aaron.
