BOOK HIM!! I found Richard on the knot and I booked him for our engagement photos and our wedding in 2023!! I was looking for a reasonable price but for the best quality photos! I am so glad I chose Ultimate Photos! He responds in a very timely matter, he is very attentive! We had to reschedule our photos due to bad weather but he was able to get us in the next weekend !!! First off he took off the whole day to do our engagement shoot! He told us that he is free the whole day to get the shots we wanted which you don’t get that type of commitment often! He let us do two different outfits and guided us on what to wear so we don’t clash in the photos. At first me and my fiancé were pretty nervous as we have not had any professional photos done before but Richard gave us directions and made us feel super comfortable. We did our shoot at Hanna park in Jacksonville it was beautiful! You can tell he is very passionate and loves what he does! Our finished photos were everything we imagined! They are all so beautiful and all our family and friends love them and we’ve gotten so many compliments!! The quality is stunning and the angles and the lighting capture the day perfectly! He did a fantastic job at showing our love through the photos! So excited for the wedding!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the best experience working with Megan for our engagement and wedding shoot. She made us feel at ease and comfortable, especially as a couple who’s not used to being in front of the camera. Once we saw our engagement shoot pictures, I knew we had made the right decision in selecting someone to capture our special day! Megan helped us develop a timeline and prioritize elements and details of our wedding that were most important for us to capture. Our whole wedding day, I felt very comfortable and confident- I knew Megan understood our vision. She was very accommodating, making sure to capture what was important to us. Again, she made being in front of the camera feel effortless. I am blown away with the sneak peek pictures we got back. She absolutely captured our vision, our guests, and my husband and I perfectly. Everyone I’ve sent pictures to has raved about how amazing they look. Her photos are truly stunning and I can’t wait to see our whole gallery. I would absolutely work with Megan again in the future!

I’m Molly! An enneagram 6, lover of sunshine, making genuine connections, discovering new places, and living life to the fullest. My photography journey began with a simple love for people and their stories. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most incredible couples, and preserving their most treasured memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my wife and I found Molly’s name and examples of her work online amongst other photographers in our area, something special about her style and her eye really caught our attention. Little did we know at that time how wonderful of a person she was as well. We first asked Molly to help us shoot an intimate elopement in a local park and were blown away by her ability to capture the whole afternoon so well for us and how comfortable it was having her there. We didn’t think twice when it came to finding a photographer for a wedding reception/celebration one year later. We were thrilled to have her with us again and within days of the event, we were sent a beautifully organized series of albums full of wonderfully captured memories. All edited to perfection. We can’t thank Molly enough and will be hiring her for events as long as she’ll stick around!

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

I can’t even begin to say how spectacular Eugene’s work is. He puts so much love into his craft and creates stunning photo stories for a variety of occasions. Eugene goes above and beyond to get unique and beautiful shots. He was an absolute dream to work with! I instantly felt a genuine connection with him—it felt like we were friends for years. Eugene made my husband and I feel confident throughout the entire process! If you want top-quality, thoughtful work, go to Eugene! He truly loves his work, and it shows. Eugene was everything you want in a photographer—easy to work with, very responsive, with great ideas, and of course, extraordinary photos! We were so lucky to find him and are happy with how our photos turned out. I would recommend Eugene to anyone.

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Where do I start? Casie’s all around professionalism and talent make her stand out in the large crowd of wedding photographers. I hired Casie nearly a year before my wedding and she was able to answer any questions I had during that time. She was also such great company on my wedding day - never taking up “too much space”, while also being there whenever I needed assistance.

Hey y'all, I'm so happy you are here! I'm Payton. I'm based in Asheville, NC but will travel to wherever your love takes you. When I'm not on a photoshoot I'm either traveling, hiking, or spending time with my family. I have been a photographer for 10 years and photographing weddings for 5. I have a BFA in Photography from RMCAD. I LOVE getting to know you and helping you plan out every minute detail of your wedding day. My passion is capturing the essence of my couple's love, every story is uniquely you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!

Erin Jay wedding Photography

  • Serves Shelby, NC

Erin Jay Wedding Photography brings 13+ years of expertise to your special day. Based in Asheville, we specialize in local and destination weddings, focusing on capturing the unique essence and emotions of each couple. Our passion is crafting timeless, beautiful photographs that tell your love story. Whether in the quaint streets of Asheville or a dream destination, we promise to encapsulate the joy and intimacy of your wedding, leaving you with memories to cherish forever.

Erin Jay Wedding Photography earned our recommendation. Erin’s prompt communication from the beginning was invaluable. Despite being directly affected by the devastation caused by hurricane Helene, Erin made sure to stay in communication and even traveled to Knoxville, TN from Asheville, NC to capture our wedding. There are no words for that kind of dedication. She truly cares about what she does. There was a lot going on in a short amount of time, but Erin was steady, calm and managed to get some truly beautiful photos of us, the scenery and friends and family.

I have been a Winston-Salem wedding photographer since 2007 and it has given me a lot of experience to be able to guide clients through their wedding day and if needed help them prepare a timeline for their wedding that runs effortlessly through the day because of our planning beforehand. I love shooting film and the beauty that it creates, it has made me slow down and appreciate and look for the little moments. I strive to capture emotion and small details as I document the day.

Spend your day having fun, not posing for photos. My approach is to focus on capturing what's really happening, so you can focus on making memories and I can deliver effortless, natural looking photos.

I can’t recommend Jess enough! From the moment we booked her, she made everything so easy and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total pro—super attentive and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for. She gave us just the right amount of direction to make sure we looked our best, but also let us be ourselves and enjoy the day. The photos came out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the emotions and all the little details we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

Him & Her Photography

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

We had the most amazing experience with Him & Her Photography! Josh and Alisha did both our engagement and wedding photography and went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!
