  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Stanley, NC

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.

His passion is evident in the care and intimate way he documents the wedding day.

We were absolutely thrilled with Lee Everett's ability to capture not just photos but feelings and moments. From the first call, it was clear that he had a unique talent for seeing beyond the surface and capturing the unique things that made our relationship so special. Lee paid incredible attention to the little things, ensuring that every important element of our relationship and wedding day was documented. He even captured moments we didn’t realize were important to us until we saw them through his lens. Throughout the entire process, Lee was more than just our photographer—he was a dedicated and supportive presence. He was always available to us during the preparation, offering his expertise and guidance whenever we needed it. His consistent communication leading up to the big day gave us a sense of reassurance and confidence that everything would be perfectly captured. One of the best parts of working with Lee was his commitment to understanding and prioritizing our desires. He took the time to get to know us, learning what we valued most and what we envisioned for our wedding day. This attention to detail and genuine care for our wishes played an invaluable role in making my dream of an outdoor wedding come true, despite the weather. When the opportunity for a last-minute shift to an outdoor ceremony arose, Lee stepped up to make it happen. He even coordinated with the entire vendor team to ensure everything transitioned smoothly, which was above and beyond his role as a photographer. His proactive approach and dedication to our vision is something we will never forget. The day would literally not have been the same without him. The photos we have received so far are nothing short of stunning. They perfectly encapsulate the joy, love, and magic of our wedding day. Lee's flawless documentation allows us to relive those moments again and again, bringing back the emotions we felt on our perfect day. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and know that they will be just as breathtaking. Lee Everett exceeded our expectations in every way. His artistic talent, combined with his genuine care for his clients, made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We are forever grateful for his extraordinary work and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture their wedding or any other special moments!

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my 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.

As a wife and recent Bride, I constantly look back at my wedding day gallery from my photographer. I would say at least once every couple of months! What I love about my wedding photos is that I can remember the day just by looking at those photos. I want that for YOU!

Our experience with Ashlyn and Sea and Shea was amazing from start to finish! Ashlyn from the booking process through delivery of our edited wedding photos has been a joy to work with. Our time has been so great with Ashlyn and her fun and bubbly personality really keeps the long days of photos light and carefree. We were kind of against doing engagement photos but after a couple of hours running around downtown Charleston and really getting to know her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera it did help tremendously on wedding day. Also, our engagement photos turned out AMAZING! Day of wedding, Ashlyn and her team were professional and on top of it. She got all the shots I wanted and more and our end result photos could not have turned out more perfect :) we are still in awe at the results. Not only do you get an amazing photographer and great photos but she is reasonably priced as well, perfect combination! 10/10 recommend! Now our problem is we found over 500 photos to get printed and put around our house, which is a little excessive but they are all so good we can't decide.

It is the greatest privilege in life to capture such meaningful photos on the most important days of our lives. The trust and vulnerability from each person I work with is something I take very seriously. I am so thankful to choose this profession because of how much joy it brings me to document two people coming together in the name of Love, with their most cherished friends and family surrounding them.

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. She made ALL of my specific visions come true while simultaneously providing some incredibly unique surprise shots in my gallery as well. I cannot recommend Casie enough!!!!

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.

A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Florida, and now I am back in North Carolina. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging at home with my two Aussies (because, let’s be honest, they run my household). Dogs are my world, which is why I’m always equipped with at least two lint rollers during every shoot (I’ve pretty much achieved Master Lint Roller status by now). Every moment is special and worth capturing, and my job is to help tell your story in a way that honors your love and feelings for one another.

Blythe was our favorite vendor on our wedding day. She was professional and captured every moment perfectly. Fully recommend!

Marlon did a wonderful job capturing our family for my maternity photoshoot. He was creative and enthusiastic, which made our experience very pleasant. I can’t wait to recreate some of the pictures with our baby boy when he’s older.

Veronica is so great to work with, she made sure to get all the important parts or our day and to capture them beautifully. She was also super helpful with giving us posing ideas and helping us to look a little more natural. Veronica blended into the party seamlessly got both posed and candid moments of us and our guests. Her prices are also more affordable & she often hosts sales for her customers. Would highly recommend her as a photographer.

Garrett Saler Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Stanley, NC

As your wedding photographer, a significant part of my role is to consider the fine art aspects of the galleries I create. Things like choosing the best light to fall over your wedding gown, balancing compositions, blending color, and layering textures to create dynamic and beautiful images. But it's much bigger than that. Photographs tell our stories, reveal emotion in ways that words can't, and offer the gift of visual legacy. An artfully told story transcends time. Beautiful photographs require exceptional artists. And you deserve exceptional art.

Awarded Best of Zola
Garrett is wonderful to work with and has provided quality service to our couples. His photography style is unique, yet timeless. His is responsive, kind, and respects our venue whenever he is on-site. He truly captures weddings in such a gorgeous way!

Eleven 03 Photography

  • Serves Stanley, NC

I’ve had the opportunity to photograph many commencement ceremonies, birthday parties, and church events as well as tons of portrait sessions. However, weddings always give me butterflies. The beautiful details, the people, and the music makes me fall in love each time. There’s something special about witnessing love as it’s most authentic moment. The day goes by so fast, and I am able to freeze every tear, every laugh, and every kiss with just one click. But it’s truly more than that, it’s about creating an experience that you and your loved ones will never forget.

Eleven 03 Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, flexible, and frequent - they were always quick to respond to our questions and accommodated any requests we had. On the day of our wedding, the photographer captured every moment from start to finish with amazing quality and professionalism. She has a true talent for her craft and has a way of making everyone in front of her lens look incredible. We received a huge variety of beautifully edited photos that we will cherish forever. Eleven 03 Photography truly made us feel like family throughout the entire process, and we never had to stress about our photos - we knew they were in good hands. We are thrilled with the results and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives. Can’t recommend Jarrod enough - thanks for everything 11/10 !!!
