Dj and Ashley captured our wedding and all the special moments way beyond my hopes and dreams. Not only did they make us feel comfortable, but they made our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera as well. We had a long distance wedding, on the other side of Michigan and Dj and Ashley were there for every moment. They listened to us and our visions for the pictures and gave us the wedding pictures of our dreams. We had our edited sneak peaks that same night and the rest of the pictures less than a week later. We are so beyond lucky to have had them photograph our wedding and so would you if you hired them.

Fall Marigold Photo

  • Serves Stanley, NC for additional fees

No trends, no awkward poses. Just love, laughter and emotion.  While photographs are one of the few things you walk away from your wedding with, they aren’t the sole purpose of your event. You are there to get married, see your people, and celebrate this moment in your life. The photographs come far after that. This day is all about your love for each other. However you naturally stand together, embrace each other, whether you visit people on different sides of the room or hold hands all day, whatever story you tell on your wedding day is going to be preserved as such. Weddings are just love stories wrapped up into one day.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Angie! She captured our wedding day beautifully, blending professionalism with a warm, friendly presence. The candid shots were especially stunning, showcasing the genuine emotions of the day. Communication was easy, and we received our photos promptly. Highly recommend Angie for anyone looking to preserve their special moments! Thank you for the amazing memories!

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Faith is one of the most intentional people I’ve met — she was there every step of the way during wedding planning to support us and provided so much comfort and overall good vibes on the day of! I felt so at ease the entire wedding day, and I credit that to our incredible vendor team, Faith and her team included. I received so many sneak peek pics just under a week after my wedding (a few I got almost immediately!!), and it was amazing to be able to relive those moments already and share them with friends and family. Seeing how she captured these moments, big and small, makes me SO excited to see the final gallery!!! Her editing style is simply gorgeous — it was the main reason I reached out to her initially — but she’s also just a wonderful friend and human. When you already feel like you know someone, it makes it so much easier to be your authentic selves in front of the camera, and for that to shine through in photos. We both have so much love for Faith and are forever grateful she was there to document the beginning of the newest chapter of our love story

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

I’m a wedding videographer located in Lubbock, TX and i love my job. When my wife and i got married everything was perfect except afterwords when all I had to remember of the biggest day of my life were still pictures!?! I deeply regretted not hiring a videographer for my wedding and have lost the chance to correct that mistake. Now I get to shoot gorgeous weddings with beautiful couples reflecting and capturing through video all the laughs, tears of joy, heart felt moments, and love between them. So that they can replay those moments in their hearts forever.

Steph Matthews was so incredibly great to work with, and it was very apparent he genuinely loves what he does. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable when working with him, and he did everything possible to make sure he not only the best angle, but the sweetest moments. Our wedding video was absolutely amazing!! I have watched it nonstop since we got it, and not to mention the quality of the video.. fantastic! I cannot say enough great things about this man’s work!

She spent time getting to know us and made sure we were able to capture amazing, memorable photos, without losing sight of the actual point of the day and party we were there to enjoy. Multiple times she seamlessly adapted our shot plan on-the-fly to let us have more time to be with guests or have a moment to ourselves when she sensed we needed it.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

As she gained experience, she transitioned into wedding planning, honing her skills in creating unforgettable events. Over the past year, she expanded her expertise by working in the floral industry, designing stunning arrangements and decor. This diverse background gives her a unique ability to handle every detail of your wedding, blending creativity and experience to bring your vision to life.

When you've made that big decision to walk down the aisle with the love of your life, be sure that your next decision is to call Nicole and get on her calendar as your wedding planner. You will get 100% of her time and attention to detail, making you feel like you are the most important person in the world before you even get to the big DAY. Because we all know you ARE the most important person in the world on your wedding day! Nicole is a bottomless resource of creative suggestions and ideas. Yet, she manages to create each wedding unique to the couple getting married. In addition to her creativity, she is also timely, extremely organized, and most importantly, she was fun to work with! She knows what works and what doesn't work. Listen to her! On the 'day of' Nicole was literally the glue that held everything together for everyone involved. She arrived at the venue fully prepared with her trusty fanny pack, filled with every resource that could possibly be needed for any type of quick fix - you needed it, she had it. Wearing her cute little signature sparkly sneakers, she sprinted thru the day, orchestrating every moving part starting from the setting up of the venue to the departure of the last guest. There were a few issues that day, but Nicole was such a pro at handling the glitches, we didn't even know about them until after the reception was over! The mark of a true professional. She is the main reason my husband and I felt like guests at our own wedding/reception. At the reception a dear friend commented that the entire wedding day was 'magical'. And it truly was - special from the very beginning to the very end, including perfect weather. Nicole gets full credit for making the magic happen! Thank you, Nicole!

I fell in love with photography about 15 years ago when I started travelling the world. I was always coming back home and showing my family and friends pictures that I'd taken while away from home. I used to have multiple scrapbooks with photos and small stories attached to them. My heart fell in love with photojournalism. Telling someone's story through photos is my favorite thing to do. And when it comes to weddings, I prefer to photograph everything from the very beginning all the way to the end of the day. To capture all the small details of your day and all the smiles.

Daria made our wedding experience as seamless as it can possibly get. We were worried that we won’t turn out good on the photos since I and my wife are super awkward and don’t really like being on camera. We have tried other photographers for couple photoshoots before and were never satisfied with how the sessions felt. However, Daria managed to guide us through the poses regardless of how much chaos was going on around. Honestly, it seemed like she was able to be everywhere at the same time, taking all the cool shots and giving us that smooth wedding we hoped for. She’s a great professional and will make you feel in your own skin better than any other photographer can.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Dani Marie Photography! From the very beginning, she listened to our vision and truly understood the unique quirks that make our daughter and now son-in-law. Not only did she capture the essence of their relationship, but she also made sure to incorporate their children into the day, ensuring everyone felt included and special. Her kindness and attentiveness stood out. Throughout the entire day, she was with us, seamlessly blending into the flow of events while still making sure no moment went unnoticed. We felt completely at ease with her behind the lens, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making our memories beautiful. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also patient, thoughtful, and dedicated to capturing the heart of your day, we highly recommend Dani Marie.

I love capturing the unseen, messy, and perfectly imperfect photos that you never even knew you wanted. I live for those emotive, raw, storytelling moments. I take a documentary approach to my work with a little bit of editorial; My style is candid and my focus is authentic connection through my images. If I were to describe my style; VIBRANT | RICH | BOLD+COLORFUL.

When I say Jeny is the best, I mean she is THE BEST. I reached out to her to capture my elopement and she was immediately willing to join us on our adventure. She even had many ideas for locations, despite it being a destination shoot. It was clear that she spent time on researching the destination, which was so thoughtful. I loved her creativity and direction during the shoot. We both felt very comfortable. Now, the photos themselves, were AMAZING. I love how she was able to capture everything. She also provided a quick turn around time for our sneak peek photos and the entire album! We will never use another photographer!

I've been a wedding photographer for 11+ years I get to work with many down-to-earth and spontaneous couples. The carefree couples that aren’t afraid of rainy portraits, laughing until it hurts or tossing their shoes to run in the waves. When we work together my desire is that I’m not just your photographer but more like an addition to your bridal party. I spend a lot of time helping with your dress, making sure your hair stays mostly intact, holding your phone or make up in my bag and talking to your best friend about your craziest story.

Joyelan Photography was so great to work with from day one. We always feel a little awkward in photos and Joy made us and our guests so comfortable. She was very responsive during planning and our photos came out better than we could have imagined! She captured the entire day and didn’t miss a moment. 10/10 hire her! Worth every penny

Sarah started playing harp for weddings in 2009 at the age of 14. She has loved playing at weddings, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and elopements ever since. She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

Casey was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our first conversation, she was responsive, asked thoughtful questions to understand what we envisioned, and clearly explained what her packages offered. Casey made us feel at ease through a process that can be stressful. On the wedding day, she blended seamlessly to capture candid moments while also efficiently directing some posed family photos. The end result told the story of our wedding beautifully through clean, visually striking images that we will treasure. The quality of Casey's work far exceeded our expectations for what we paid. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any couple looking for a talented photographer who will capture the essence of your special day.

Hello, my name is DJ Joey B. My job is to make your next event, One To Remember! I do not scratch, I just play the best music tailored to your event. I have been DJing professionally since 2005. I have had the opportunity to DJ all types of events. I got my start while I was working for Pearson Music Company. While there I was learning about live sound setups and DJ setups. I made friends with many of the local DJ’s in the area. They told me I should put my love of music together with my knowledge of sound equipment and bring music to the masses.

Not only is Joey one of the kindest and most charming people we worked with during our wedding planning, he went above and beyond every step of the way! We had several calls with him and met in person over the year leading up to our wedding where he not only helped us with the music planning but actually offered really valuable general wedding advice that helped us make some non-music related decisions. At the wedding, he was an absolute star! He played a fantastic set with several genres that we had requested throughout the night. All of our guests said they hadn't danced that much in years! Even when it rained for about 20 minutes, people were still on the dance floor having the time of their lives. There's the proof that Joey is committed to giving all those feel good vibes you want for your special day. We absolutely loved working with him and without hesitation recommend him 100%!

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

Kimberly Mufferi Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our engagement photos. Kimberly's communication style was easy, comforting, and fun - she immediately put us at ease and made the whole process a joy. Her work is truly magical, capturing every moment with a thoughtful and heartfelt touch, and she's a whiz with natural light. Kimberly was on time and had amazing ideas that helped make it all even more memorable. As one of the most amazing photographers I've ever had the pleasure of working with, Kimberly is a magician with natural light, and the joy of her heart is contagious both in while working with her and in the photos she creates. Highly recommend!

Based in the heart of Nashville and journeying with couples worldwide full-time since 2018, I specialize in crafting timeless, low-stress, editorial images and elevated, audio-centric cinematic wedding films. For the free-spirited and the adventurous, for the lovers of art and bold style, your dream wedding memories await. Everyone deserves to have their wedding captured with care, creativity, and kindness. I can't wait to create an amazing experience for you and your partner.

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

Weddings are a celebration of love. As humans, we have a deep, primal need for a “village,” a group of people whom we trust to support us. And where would we be without the love of our family and chosen family? It heals us, brings us together, celebrates our differences, and it allows us to keep going when this big adventure gets scary. So when we get together for a wedding, we get to share that love with those we care about. Just like a painter or a poet, those involved in the planning of a wedding are artists hired to create a scene that reflects the love in the space. We would love to be a part of your team!

Madi at the Flower Garden Shop was a joy to work with. I gave her some ideas and the general vibe/colors I wanted and she made my meadow wedding dreams come to life. She had amazing ideas to help with cost and still keep my vision intact. She was fast to respond to any of my questions and make changes on the fly. I would absolutely recommend them to anybody looking for florists.

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a huge fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!
