Autumn's Weddings 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves St. James, NC

I'm Autumn. Baker, reader, musical-lover, photographer. I love experiencing art in every form, and I'm discovering I love creating it too. For so long there has been a bubble around art, and a body guard dictating who can or can't enjoy or create it. I'm all about bending, breaking, and recreating ancient and archaic rules. There is no one saying what you can or can't create. And if there is, I'm right there with you to block out the noise. With me, you can recreate the stuff of dreams. Absolute magic.

Autumn was AMAZING. She came all the way out to Illinois, she took some amazing engagement photos for us in the summer, and we hired her back to shoot our wedding in the winter. She so clearly just wants to help make your photos turn out as nice as they possibly can, and to cater to what you want in your photos -- that's her first priority, which is so rare and so fantastic. She's a lovely person to boot, and we really enjoyed taking her out to dinner after our photos and learning more about her. Best of luck Autumn, and thanks so much!

Sarah was so wonderful to work with! Her genuineness and love for photography definitely shows in her photos. We had her do our engagement pictures and we loved them so much we asked her to do our graduation, wedding, and Christmas pics too! She made us feel at ease during all of these knowing that we were going to receive photos that were above and beyond what we could have imagined. Especially during our wedding it was such a relief to not stress over remembering the day because I knew Sarah would capture each moment:) Definitely would recommend Sarah for any of your photography needs!

Hi! My name is Jacqueline and I've been in the photography industry for almost a decade. I believe that when I pick up my camera, I am there to tell a story. On your wedding day, I am there to document a new chapter of your love story. I capture all the intimate moments of your day, and then some!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with Jacqueline for our wedding this past weekend. She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE. Thank you so much Jacqueline!!!!! - Ben and Lindsay

I will always have these gorgeous pictures to help me remember these moments in my life!

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold!

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
Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.

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! My job doesn't stop at creating timeless photos for you, it extends to offering you a sense of peace and showing you that a wedding/elopement day doesn't have to be stressful. Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Kalypso on our team as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband is historically not the best at genuine looking forced smiles, yet our wedding pictures all turned out so well! Yes, he was very happy on our wedding day, but in the moment when you tell him to pose, it usually doesn't go so well. Kalypso has all sort of tricks up her sleeve to fix this, and she is such a joyous ball of energy that she has us legitimately laughing and smiling the entire time anyways. She was so easy to coordinate with, and her communication and promptness are on point. On to the most important part though - the pictures! They are AMAZING!! They perfectly capture the best day of our lives and work in all the little details so well. We are having a hard time figuring out what to frame where in our house - there are that many PERFECT pictures. It was Kalypso's first day shooting a wedding at our specific venue, and you would would think it was her own house based on how well she captured it all and worked so well in the space. I will certainly be trying to work with her for future life photoshoots and recommending her to all my friends!

From my first call with Kamil, I knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding day. He was so kind, thorough, and made me feel like I was chatting with a friend. He took great care of us throughout the whole process and made everything so easy. On the wedding day, so many people mentioned how fantastic our photo team was. Kamil and his wife Anna were amazing—guiding us to get the shots we wanted while letting us truly enjoy our day. The photos are pure art, and I could rave about Glim Studio and their team forever. They’re simply the best!

I've been a wedding and elopement photographer for 12+ years. My journey has connected me with the most amazing humans, and I've been honored to tell their stories through photography. My journey started as an apprecenticeship at a small darkroom photography school, which led to gallery shows, and eventually to documenting important moments in the lives of people. I found love stories to be especially impactful because, who doesn't love love right?!

Amy is such a talented photographer! She took the most gorgeous photos of my husband and I at our engagement shoot, elopement ceremony, and reception. She also sent us the photos very quickly so we didn’t have to wait long. We are having a hard time picking which photos to have printed because they are all so beautiful.

Our photography focuses on iconic, timeless, stylish images, full of beautiful light and natural emotion. Our couples love intimate settings, elaborate details, and family values. They are inspired by coastal surroundings, are classic with a modern twist, and want to throw a wedding that feels like THEM. Together, we have worked in the wedding industry for over a decade, have been fortunate enough to have documented hundreds of the most beautiful weddings all around the world, and make up one incredibly unique mother-daughter team. We have documented weddings from the breathtaking West Coast, to the historic East, and love to travel.

Laura and Rachel absolutely blew us away in every single way. From the very beginning, the two of them made us feel more like their family than simply clients who were paying them for a service. It took us less than 24 hours after our first meeting with them to know they were who we wanted on our wedding day, and I am SO glad we did. They made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and more than that, they made it FUN. We felt special and joyful and so full of love the entire time we worked with them. They made our day flow flawlessly, keeping us on track while still letting us ENJOY the day. They just went above and beyond in every way - whether it be getting down on their knees to help me switch into my reception shoes or running around cocktail hour to find the friend who was in charge of bustling my dress, they did so much more than just take our photos. But those photos… let me tell you, when I first saw our sneak previews, I full on cried. And the full gallery, OH MAN. I don’t know how they managed to perfectly capture every emotion we felt that day while still making us look amazing (my husband and I were definitely ugly crying for a good portion of our first look couples portraits!), but I can’t even put into words what it felt like to look at those photos for the first time. Simply put - we’re obsessed with these two. Laura and Rachel have our business for LIFE. I’m already trying to plan a ten year vow renewal just so we can share the day with them again! (Kidding, but not really ;) ). Take it from me - hiring these two will be the easiest and best decision you will make during your wedding planning process. We love you, Laura and Rachel!!!
