Adrian Etheridge Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Stanley, NC

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

We would choose Adrian a million times! She flew out to Seattle (our current home) to take our engagement photos and she did an amazing job. She was adaptive to the many environments we took her to and she came up with great ideas quickly during the course of the day. She made us feel very comfortable so we could be ourselves in the photos. On our wedding day, she knew exactly where to do photos when it started to rain but maintained the intimacy of our first look. She was organized with our many family photos and kept us moving when we took photos with each of our tables (exaclty what we needed). She is very outgoing, friendly, and talented. She took the time to get to know us which made our photos more special in the end.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

Helen Joy Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Stanley, NC

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day. I take only a handful of wedding clients a year so that I stay fresh and excited. I usually shoot about 30% classic portraiture and 70% lifestyle/photo documentary. I like to tell the story through movement and candid photos, while also taking time to create striking and timeless portraits. I edit all my photos in black and white and color, with a film finish.

I loved working with Helen Joy, and I highly recommend her for any event. Her wedding photography was lovely, she did a great job getting the ‘formal’ portraits of family and the bridal party. But my favorite pictures were the candid moments I didn’t think to capture, she has an eye for special moments that I didn’t recognize at the time but are now my favorite pictures.

Justin was amazing throughout the wedding planning process. As part of the package he took our engagement photos, this was to help get to know us and what we liked and didn't like. I think this was part of the reason we were so comfortable during the wedding. My family really enjoyed interacting with Justin and was amazing with how many photos he took during the ceremony and at the reception. We also had a 2 hour gap between the ceremony and reception, and I think that helped with taking out time to get all the family photograph and couple pictures. During the engagement and ceremony we had out dog involved, and got some amazing photos with Lilly, which was great. Justin's style is a little more muted, and looks amazing with the outdoor locations we choose for the engagement and ceremony. He did a great job of capturing both posed and candid photos, and helped us get comfortable with the 'posed candid' photos of us walking or goofing off. Can't wait to get the rest of our wedding photos, but the engagement and sample we've gotten was amazing.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Hey there, I am so happy you are here. A GIRL WITH A DREAMI am a big time lover of love, Jesus, and traveling the world - but you can just call me Hailey. Based in ATL, Im a full time wedding photographer. Im always down for an adventure. When I'm not behind a camera, you can find me on zooming off on a hike with my husband or chatting someone's ear off about my latest podcast obsession. I am here for all the coffee, hugs, & candids. ohh and my Cat hehe

Awarded Best of Zola
I chose Hailey from the moment we had our initial call to talk through her services. She listened so well to our wedding vision & asked thoughtful questions. We were forgoing a wedding coordinator & other “extras.” Hailey was still excited to take us on as clients which some photographers would not have. I was ready to confirm during the call with how supportive and excited she sounded about our day. From this call, she sent over her proposal for cost & information very quickly. She was responsive via text & email to any questions we had. Closer to the date, she sent over a questionnaire so she could be prepared with the photos we wanted. It also included tips & guidance on making sure the experience is smooth. This was super helpful. During the wedding, I was blown away by her and her second shooter. She was decisive when we needed someone to make a decision, supportive to me as a bride, went above and beyond to handle any last minute changes or hiccups with grace. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken. She made it sooo easy and fun! The photos are sooo creative and I continue to pinch myself that they are ours! Wow! Here’s where she deserves to be shouted from the rooftops: We scheduled a hike we wanted photographed to a waterfall on site at the venue (our venue at Hawkesdene in NC lodges all guests for 2 nights). The venue shared it was 1 mile in/out and not difficult. Well it HAILED the night before and rained all night so the path was flooded and muddy. We had to decide to forge ahead or cancel. She without hesitation was ready to forge ahead, ruining her shoes, to ensure we could still have our hike documented with our guests. She encouraged me along the way and I am so grateful because the photos are just incredible. Anyone would be truly lucky to have Hailey capture their wedding. This review doesn’t do her or her skills justice. I will forever cheer her on & can’t wait to find an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

You would have thought she had 5-6 shooters at the event with the amount of photos she was able to get! We used her for our engagement and wedding and everything was perfect. My husband and I are not big picture takers and Brett was able to make us feel comfortable and get Austin out of his shell! I will recommend Brett to anyone in need of a fun, energetic photographer and she will be my first call if I ever need one again! I can't even begin the count the number of complements I received from guests regarding her! She was also the first vendor we booked -- she helped us with useful advice on other vendors and was just heavenly throughout the entire processes! I am obsessed with her 3

We are soooo happy with our choice to hire Erica for our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day! We found her information in the Skaneateles Wedding Guide and when I reached out to her, she responded within the hour. From the very beginning she showed us how responsive and professional she was, while also still being SO friendly, warm, and easygoing. I get camera shy easily and I let her know of this - her response made me feel so comforted and less anxious. Her style of shooting is really laid back and fun - we didn't even feel like we were being photographed to be honest. She had us do funny prompts to make us laugh, or would sneak photos from somewhere without us even seeing. She has such an eye for creative shots that really represented us as a couple. Her and her assistant Marissa were an AWESOME team. HIRE HER!

Fast forward to wedding day Lee and his team made us super comfortable and helped to make our wedding magical.

Working with Erica for our fall 2022 wedding was a wonderful experience. Erica was so great about directing shots, making sure we got all the pictures we wanted and keeping everything moving without making us feel rushed or bossed around. She had a great sense of humor which was so important when she showed up bright and early and we were already behind schedule. At various points throughout the day people came up to us to tell us that they could see how hard she was working. After, she was quick about getting us our teaser photos and very timely with getting the full album done. We are so happy with our pictures and thankful we were able to work with Erica.

Growing up, I was obsessed with magical love stories. Fairy tale love stories always left me with a euphoric feeling. I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

As a videographer working alongside a good photographer on a wedding day means a lot. Caitlin is always a photographer I highly recommend! She cares deeply about every individual she works with. She is creative with the shots she captures to keep each gallery fresh and unique. She is one of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure of working with! Every time I see her name on one of my vendor forms asking who I'm working with, my heart fills with joy. It is so much fun working alongside Caitlin and I can not speak highly enough of her and her work!

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.

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.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda both on weddings and as my co-host on the Super Gay Wedding podcast and she's earned my absolute highest recommendation. I literally recommend her to all of my clients. Beyond being a consummate professional and a lovely human, Amanda is a trained fine artist with an incredible eye for lighting and composition. If you leave a little wiggle room in your wedding day schedule, you'll have an album full of beautiful memories that also happen to be fine works of art. Amanda is a true team player who will do whatever it takes to make your wedding day work. An avid traveler and hiker with a small Jeep obsession, she'll also do that WHEREever it needs to be done. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Amanda RIGHT NOW.

I’m Christian and have been a photographer for close to a decade. I love to look back at old pictures with my family and friends or even just talking about memories that we’ve experienced together and get to relive that. This love I have translates into my photography. I’m all about the authentic moments that we experience and we get to relive. My photography revolves around capturing the smallest moments that mean the world to us!

C G Productions was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was effective, prompting efficient planning and organization throughout the process. The quality of their work and overall value was outstanding - they were dedicated, dependable, and consistently delivered stunning, high-quality images that beautifully captured the special moments of our day. We were so impressed that we even hired them the night before the wedding to ensure they were there to capture every detail, and they exceeded our expectations by perfectly preserving all the memories we'll cherish forever.

I'm a photographer that was born and raised in LA culture and it definitely allowed me to appreciate all the ART in everyday life. I am new to North Carolina and am so excited to see the ART that I can create in this beautiful state.

My Engagement Photo shoot Review: Flexible to my time schedule and understanding when I had to change engagements photoshoot day. Great quality service; kind and understanding. Worked well and very comfortable with. Super professional on time and prompt. And quality of images amazing. Did just what I wanted, love this photographer. Would recommend her to all who need a photographer. My Wedding Photo Shoot Review: I don't even know where to begin. Monique was one of the best investments of our wedding. After an amazing engagement shoot with Monique the wedding was a breeze. She really makes you feel so at home and comfortable and it truly makes a difference in your photos. She's personable, honest, and has such a distinct and gorgeous photography style. She was easy to work with and went above and beyond her duties; was with us from beginning to end. On the day of our wedding Monique was punctual and worked her tail off. She was there in the morning as I, the bride got ready and stayed until the reception ended, which means she captured every moment. Our photos are so special and we have one of kind shots to remember our perfect day and we have Monique to thank! Everyone cannot get over the pictures, they all say “the photos are so beautiful and vibrant!” I keep getting compliments on them which make me smile so big and make me feel so proud. We thank you forever for capturing our day in such a way that no one else could have. I highly recommend hiring Monique for any engagement and can guarantee she will impress. You must take a look at her site- her works speaks for itself!

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!

Book Cat for your wedding. You won’t regret it. My experience has been so amazing. Above and beyond what I ever expected when searching for a photographer. Our professional relationship quickly formed into a real friendship. In the months and weeks before our wedding Cat and I were chatting on Instagram almost daily (she even recommended my wedding make up)! And she was able to work with my on my budget. When she walked into my dressing room on the big day it was just like seeing any of my other friends and she fit right in! I appreciated how polite she was with my family and how she was down she was to see the (in my opinion) cool places I had picked out. I could not imagine my wedding with out her there. Her photos and sense of style are amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the photos we received!

Love in Color Photography

"Passionate" doesn't really begin to describe how I feel about being a photographer. It's more like, who I am as a person. Photographs are able to speak a million words in a moment when words may fail. After photographing 200+ couples of all shapes, sizes, & colors -- I can still say it is my favourite thing to do in the universe. People are my JAM! I love people & their wonderful uniqueness. When two people get together in a thing called "love"? Well, I just can't help but want to be a part of it! Capturing those obvious or subtle displays of affection between two people in true, heartfelt love is as necessary as oxygen in my lungs.

Beautiful work that captures both big and small moments; capturing expressions of overwhelming joy, love and tenderness. Works to understand what is important to each person, family or couple being photographed and brings out the best in everyone.
