I'm a wedding & elopement photographer who believes in harnessing and capturing genuine emotion- the kind that comes naturally from your relationships.

I am so pleased with our decision to hire Melissa as our photographer for our wedding. From my first phone call with her, I knew that she was perfect for documenting our big day. She is friendly, professional, and was open to hearing our suggestions as far as what kind of setting we wanted our photos taken at. She definitely exceeded our expectations! Melissa was so understanding in our communication regarding an unexpected wait time at the courthouse on the day of our wedding and she still made sure we got the dream photos that we envisioned before the sun set. The day of our wedding flew by, but the memories I have slowing down to take pictures will be with me forever. It helps that we have BEAUTIFUL pictures to remember those moments from this day, which we received faster than we expected! She is so talented. I highly recommend hiring Melissa from The Photobrief as your wedding photographer!

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Fancy This Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Amanda Law and her team were incredibly professional, individualized, and reliable in their communication style. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the essence of our special day perfectly. The two photographers felt like friends we would have invited to the wedding anyway, and they were so fun to work with. They developed a great timeline for photography to ensure all of the photos we wanted were captured. Highly recommend Amanda Law and the whole Fancy This Photography group - we hope they like us because we are hiring them for all of our life events!

Intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

Love Knot Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Sanford, NC

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

15+ years of experience as a Fashion Photographer in NYC, My editorial approach reimagines traditional wedding photography for fashion-forward couples, blending fine art with a romantic aesthetic. My personal passions are deeply rooted in fashion, design and minimalism. These influences are deeply steeped into my wedding work. I specialize in editorial and elegant luxury wedding photography that tells your story intimately and artfully by beautifully balancing raw emotions and styled elegance.

In our search for a wedding photographer, we specifically sought someone who could tell the story of “us,” our love for each other, and the love of our family and friends through a unique lens. We wanted shots that went beyond the traditional “wedding shot,” and Ashley absolutely delivered. She went above and beyond to help capture all the intimate details of our wedding. From actual location scouting to planning the timeline to receiving the final batch of photos, Ashley’s experience and eye for detail shone through. As one of our relatives said, “OMG! These photos are gorgeous! How can I choose just one?” I am so glad we have her photos to remember our ’storybook’ day. We will treasure them for years.

Skyler has been nothing short of an absolute dream to work with! She shot our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a boudoir shoot. She has been incredibly kind and caring, even taking the time to reach out to us after we were hit by Helene. Her work is beautiful!! She was willing to adapt to the different styles we were wanting to try out for our pictures, and we were so, so pleased by every single photo. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and somebody we felt like we could trust throughout the craziness of getting married. She was worth every. single. penny!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Ashlyn and Sea and Shea was amazing from start to finish! Ashlyn from the booking process through delivery of our edited wedding photos has been a joy to work with. Our time has been so great with Ashlyn and her fun and bubbly personality really keeps the long days of photos light and carefree. We were kind of against doing engagement photos but after a couple of hours running around downtown Charleston and really getting to know her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera it did help tremendously on wedding day. Also, our engagement photos turned out AMAZING! Day of wedding, Ashlyn and her team were professional and on top of it. She got all the shots I wanted and more and our end result photos could not have turned out more perfect :) we are still in awe at the results. Not only do you get an amazing photographer and great photos but she is reasonably priced as well, perfect combination! 10/10 recommend! Now our problem is we found over 500 photos to get printed and put around our house, which is a little excessive but they are all so good we can't decide.

We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound.

When I saw Catherine's work on Instagram I knew her style captured everything I wanted. When it came time for my now husband to pop the question, I wrote down Catherine's information as my top photographer choice.

The entire time up until the wedding, Catherine communicated with me and made sure she knew the vision I had for my wedding day.

Elizabeth enjoys building relationships with her couples, many whom she has kept in touch with over the years.

Elizabeth was the photographer for my parents’ vow renewal, so when my now-husband and I decided to get married in a tiny, intimate ceremony in my parents’ backyard, I knew I wanted to hire her! From the beginning she was nothing but enthusiastic, kind, and professional. With everything happening with Covid, she was very understanding about my request of her to wear a mask and try her best to stick to the 6ft distancing. She’s a natural with her photos and captured some very sweet moments that I never even knew happened! I’m extremely picky with pictures of myself, too, but I found PLENTY of photos that Elizabeth took that I am THRILLED with!

We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I’m passionate about capturing joyous moments and freezing memories in time. I’m a firm believer that our stories should be documented! Images can transport you back in time and help you relive your favorite memories, so let’s document yours! I love capturing life as it happens, whether it’s the big moments or the in-between details of your journey. I believe in the raw candid moments. During sessions with me you’ll be guided and directed the entire time using prompts to bring out those natural movements and candid emotions.

Hiring Antonina for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From the moment we first met, she made us feel comfortable and confident. She captured every beautiful detail. The photos are absolutely stunning-timeless,romantic and so full of life! She was professional, patient and creative. We will cherish these photos forever!

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!
