In Bloom Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

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.

Hi there! I'm Jackie, and this is my husband & business partner, Cory. Many photographer's "about me" section will tell you how they've known they wanted to be a photographer since they were a child. Not mine. I didn't know that's what I wanted until I actually started taking pictures and realized that photography was the creative outlet I had been missing my entire life. Not only am I so incredibly blessed to have this amazing, life-giving business; I'm even more blessed to get to share it with my husband.

So happy I chose Jackie to do our engagement and wedding photography. She is such a talented beautiful person! We were over the moon on how our photos turned out each time.

I’ve always been fascinated by the stories existing around me. The fact that there are 9 billion of them unfolding all at once, is something that I think about all the time. that fascination is what first made me pick up a camera years ago. photography to me is a way of understanding and connecting to the world and people around me. my style is heavily influenced by cinematic storytelling, It’s very important to me, that the photos you see have a soul and are a depictions the real life unfolding in front of the lens. my clients are people I truly care about & love, and I hold high importance in really getting to know them before their shoot.

Shea is a storyteller. She captures the hearts and personalities of those she’s able to shoot, along with going out of her way to make them feel comfortable. Her kindness radiates in everything she does!

  • Serves Stanley, NC

We lovingly refer to our photography work as our “honeymoon baby.” We began our pursuit of photography shortly before our first wedding anniversary- mostly out of a desire to create art and serve people together. We choose to specialize in weddings for many reasons. We love each other, and when we see others who share that deep commitment to one another we can’t help but rejoice. One of the greatest joys of our work is in capturing the many unique and diverse ways in which our clients share those feelings with each other.

I cannot say enough good things about Rob + Kristen! Not only are they amazing photographers and capture all the moments, but they are awesome people as well! My husband and I were blessed to have them on our big day. Rob has such an eye for a great shot and will work tirelessly to make sure he provides you with the best of the best. Kristen is a girls best friend. When we did posed photos, she was always there to make sure my hair was right, we were standing correctly, holding flowers when I was not using them - she even held my lipstick in her bag for me and reapplied when needed! They got our pictures back to us so quick and we could not be happier!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!
