  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Stanley, NC for additional fees

I'm a wife, cat + dog mom, Charlotte NC native, and all around hype woman. I love capturing experiences. Above all else I love watching my couples interact with each other expressing and showcasing their relationship. What truly makes me passionate is to be able to capture their love story with artistic beauty and elegance. I love to provide them with gorgeous candid images so that every time they revisit these memories it inspires the contentment and enduring emotion they hold in their hearts from that day.

Cirque91 was amazing to work with! She paid attention to what we wanted while also giving professional advice/suggestions to maximize our experience. We received over 800 shots and every single one is better than the next! She was very organized and made it a wonderful experience. Very personable, easy to work with, and communication (which was important for me in a photographer) was amazing. Thank you Brennan!!

Every person has their own beauty and truth. I see it, understand it, then reveal it through my portraits. I search for the play of light and shadow to carve the image and tell the story of the day... your day... Your story.

Hash and Sabrina are an AMAZING duo and were such a dream to work with! They were so friendly and were so easy to keep in touch with! We were floored by how stunning our photographs turned out and by how perfectly they captured our wedding day. Their vision and editing helped bring our wedding photos to life and cannot think of a better team to have worked with to help encapsulate our big day!

Hey I’m Sierra! You are here for a REASON. I am a Colorado/California based natural light photographer, specializing in big weddings + intimate elopements. Capturing love while getting to tell your remarkable, unique story is the best most special honor. Believe me it is more than just a job to me it is how I am choosing to spend the BEST years of my life and I want to spend them with you! Let’s have fun, let’s be vulnerable, let’s have the best time of our lives while you run around with your hearts on your sleeves. Why? Because we only get to tell this story once so let’s make it the best one ever written.

Our wedding was our third time working with Sierra and Jullian (Youphoria Films), and yet again, they exceeded our expectations. I used Sierra for my wedding gift Boudoir photos, we used her for our Elopement event (35 people) and we just used them for our Black Tie Wedding (80 people). They are such a supported and enthusiastic team, while also being extremely calm and composed the entire time. We never once worried about their performance as they are always professional, communicative, and just overall fantastic. We have loved our photos and videos, and will always recommend them to our friends and family! Get yourself a crew who feels like friends, because that is what they do and it makes the world of a difference!

Audrey Rae Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Stanley, NC for additional fees

I fell in love with photography at a young age, while rummaging through boxes of family photographs. My favorite pictures were always the ones that felt as though you had been transported in time- a little blurry, but a lot of emotion.

When it comes to wedding photographers, I was extremely picky, as I do photography myself. Once I came across Audrey, I knew that she would be a great option. Thankfully, she fell within our budget and we could not be happier. She is extremely nice and extremely patient. We continued to get compliments on how kind she was from all of our guests throughout the night. If you are looking for a photographer, I could not recommend her enough.

Beautiful Images by Toni

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Stanley, NC for additional fees

I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

From the moment we booked Beautiful Images by Toni, their communication was fast, helpful, and responsive. Toni's unique, creative, and fun style captured the excitement of our special day perfectly. She was there to help wherever she could, making everything feel seamless and just right. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. Toni and her team truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable.

I’m a full time social worker, part time photographer and mama of four. I can command a room if I need to, blend into the background, or go with the flow all while capturing the moments big and small that you don’t want to forget to remember.

Olivia nailed it with the photos for our wedding in November 2022, she has a great eye for framing shots and captured every sweet moment of our day beautifully! We are both two very awkward people when in front of a camera, and Olivia helped both of us be comfortable, relaxed, and have fun at every step along the way. She is our #1 recommendation to our soon-to-be married friends!

  • Serves Stanley, NC for additional fees

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Hi I’m Jeff, of Jeff Jansen Photography! Planning a wedding takes a lot of time and effort and can be incredibly stressful. You invest a lot of emotion and energy into your big day. Let Jeff Jansen Photography take some of the stress out of your wedding day. As your wedding photographer, we answer emails quickly, so you don’t have to stress waiting for an answer to your questions, and setting up extra meetings just to help calm the nerves? It’s our pleasure! We will always show up a little early and are very attentive to our client’s requests. We’re here for you from booking to after the last dance when the lights go down.

Hiring a GREAT photographer should be one of the first and most researched vendors for any event. Your location can be beautiful, you share special moments in the lush tropical settings Florida offers, and you are surrounded by love...but no professional photos? You will definitely regret not hiring a professional photographer. Yes, your iPhone can take good pics - but there is absolutely no comparison to that of a professional - especially capturing bright sunlight or sunsets. Your phone can only do so much! As a vendor in the wedding industry I am very fortunate to work with many skilled professionals but some are on a completely different level of quality, talent, professionalism, and service. There are very few photographers that I "put on a pedestal" but Jeff (and Nancy) are exceptional. Their quality of images and the varied shots they are able to capture on wedding day (without even knowing they are there) - is mind blowing. They are fun to work with and have such a creative eye behind the lens. I highly recommend Jeff Jansen Photography, without a doubt.

Hiring Autumn was the best decision we made during wedding planning! Her pricing was budget friendly, without skimping on quality at all.

Take some stress out of wedding planning and hire Autumn, you won't have to worry about anything photography wise and come out of the wedding with not only gorgeous photos but also a friend.

To say Haley and Josh were amazing would be an extreme understatement. After talking to 10 different photographers and feeling all hope was lost Haley helped my wife more than we could’ve asked for. Communicated every step of the way made great suggestions thought of the things we didn’t. We did an intimate with just my wife the officiant and Haley and Josh. And they made us feel so comfortable throughout that it didn’t even feel like they were there. Haley made my wife’s dress look perfect and helped with her dress. And the pictures will give us a lifetime of happiness. I would recommend her to anyone in the NC area and will reach out in the future for any future occasions. Thank you Haley and Josh you made our day that much more special than we could’ve imagined.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about having Jenn photograph our wedding day! Her and her husband, Mike, went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations by far. They were extremely organized and knew exactly what they were doing. They are very detail oriented and are great at capturing every aspect of your big day.

We would HIGHLY recommend Jenn & will definitely be using her again!

If you're considering working with Brittany, DO IT! I 100% recommend working with her and team for any occasion, especially a wedding. Brittany played an indispensable role in making our wedding day an absolute success. From our very first Zoom meeting, her professionalism and knowledge were evident.

Her magical photos captured the essence of our special day, preserving memories we’ll cherish forever. But Brittany’s commitment extended beyond the lens—she went above and beyond in every aspect of her work.

  • Serves Stanley, NC for additional fees

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

Hi friends! I'm so glad you stopped by my site. I'm Kallie, and this is my business, my creative outlet, my dream, and my vision. I graduated high school in 2017, where I continued to pursue my love for photography. I gradually started building a photography clientele base by shooting family sessions, seniors, and couples. In 2018 I started second shooting weddings and quickly fell head over heels for them! I had been around weddings my whole life helping with decorating and catering, which is what I think blinded me from seeing how amazing it is to be able to capture a love-soaked wedding day.

Kallie was so easy to work with and made our intimate wedding come to life!!

Being behind the camera isn’t just about clicking a button and editing a photo and delivering it. It’s about making sure you capture each and every detail even if the couple doesn’t realize it. I’ve become passionate in what I do because I love the smiles that it puts on people’s faces and the happy tears that stream down their face when I deliver the most beautiful album that they get to hold on to for the rest of their lives. True love is real. Capturing my couples is like bringing a romance novel to life.

Marylyn, owner of Momentous Memories, has been my go-to girl for YEARS!! She never disappoints!! She knows just how to capture the most amazing moments and love between two people. Her photography is stunning and she creates such a fun environment to be in! My husband does not like having his picture taken, but she knew exactly how to get him to open up and pose for pictures. She was great at communicating throughout the pre-wedding process and ensuring that she knew how our day was going to go. Even though on our day it poured down rain, Marylyn worked her magic and created an album of the most breathtaking photos. I will always highly recommend her to anyone I know!

Let’s work together to create something beautifully unique, just like your love story.

Let me tell you about Miss Amber! This girl not only took amazing photos but she completely came to my rescue! I had my wedding in August, originally I had booked a photographer right at the beginning of the year around January - my photographer I had booked ended up doing what is every brides worst fear, and cancelled on me the WEEK before my wedding!! Unbelievable right! So, as any bride would do - I scoured the internet trying to find someone available and within my budget, with little to no luck with it being such short notice. Amber on the other hand, I found her in a PNW wedding group on Facebook where my mother in law had posted about needing a photographer - and this woman, dropped what she was doing flew out to Portland Oregon from Georgia, and was with me for a FULL 12 hours on my wedding day - literally start to finish. On top of that, she is very sweet and professional and definitely down played how talented she is!! When we got our sneak peek photos back on our honeymoon I quite literally had my breath taken away! The photos are absolutely gorgeous!! I cannot express enough how amazing she was, she completely took the stress of photos of my shoulders (we all know for brides the less stress the better), she posed us, gave us pointers for how to stand, what to say to make each other giggle, funny pictures and serious ones! She ticked every box!! If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion I cannot express enough that this is your gal!! Thank you so much Amber, we will treasure these photos forever!

I’ve worked with Crystal on several professional photography projects over the years—everything from my own business branding to special event shoots. While I’m her husband, I’m also someone who runs a business and needs professional-level results. Every time I’ve hired her, I’ve gotten exactly that. She has a sharp eye for detail, a popping creative spirit, a calming presence behind the lens, and a gift for making people feel at ease in front of the camera. Her work consistently captures moments that feel both polished and authentic. That’s a rare balance in photography. I’m excited others will get to experience what I already know: she’s the real deal and a whole lot of fun to work with!

I love hanging out with my kids, beach combing for really neat shells, cuddling with my dog who just so happens to be named Princess Fiona after the movie Shrek, and being an amazing wife to my husband while bringing joy to peoples lives through professional photography. I am super down to earth, pretty dang fun, and super creative. When I get clients who trust me 120%, their galleries are beyond EPIC. At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who fell in love with photography! I also enjoy museums, and find inspiration in architecture, high end fashion magazines and underground art.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured
