Hello! I'm Cierra, a published wedding and portrait photographer that serves West Virginia and beyond. I've been photographing weddings since 2019 and would love to capture your special day!

We had a wonderful experience working with Buonamici Exposures for photography at our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was helpful, experienced and professional - they know weddings inside out and offered great advice. On the big day, they were extremely kind and friendly with us and our guests while still being focused and efficient. The quality of the photos is fantastic - very crisp, vibrant and artistic. They perfectly captured the emotions and special moments of our wedding. We'd highly recommend Buonamici Exposures to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to beautifully photograph their memories.

Taylor Rae Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Swannanoa, NC for additional fees

It brings me so much joy to photograph two people in love. That’s why I adore working with couples who know that their marriage is about SO MUCH MORE than just their wedding day. It’s all the days that follow. It’s choosing your spouse each and every day. Your wedding day will be perfect, not because everything went according to plan, but because you said YES to the love of your life. And I see it as a huge honor when a couple chooses me to document such an important day in their lives! When past brides describe my style, they say words like, “joyful,” “romantic,” “warm,” “bright,” and “photos that actually look like me!”

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Taylor is your woman! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken, so my main concern was finding someone that would make him feel comfortable. Little did I know how much Taylor would calm my nerves on our wedding day. She is such a light, but fun presence and I think that is reflected in how natural our photos felt. They truly reflect us, our love and the feeling of our big day. The only trouble you'll have is figuring out which of the hundreds of amazing photos you want to print. Seriously, is there a limit to how many wedding photos you should display in your home? She is the best!

We are a husband/wife team who specializes in couples and weddings. After living in Michigan and capturing weddings there the last 7 years, we are excited to be back home in the Ozarks and look forward to meeting and serving couples in this area.

Clarissa and Tim were so on top of everything for us that we didn't have to worry about anything, they knew exactly what to do! They were very flexible with how the day went but still made sure to get all the key moments from different angles while being discreet. On top of being great photographers they are very sweet, respectful of boundaries for those they are photographing, and worked well with all the age groups at our wedding. All of our photos by them have been well complimented!

Hi! I'm Ashley, a traveling wedding photographer based in the DMV area. As a traveling wedding photographer, I'm always on the move, ready to embark on new adventures and document love in the most breathtaking locations. From adventorous elopements to grand celebrations in majestic venues, I thrive on capturing the unique essence of each couple's journey. I believe that photography is more than just taking photos; it's about freezing moments in time, preserving the raw emotions and genuine connections that make weddings so special. My goal is to craft a visual narrative that reflects your personalities, your love, and the beauty of your day.

From the beginning we knew Ashley was going to be an amazing photographer. Her collection of work is absolutely beautiful. She would reply to our questions quickly and with in-depth answers. She is super helpful, organized, and just an overall joyous presence, especially on the day of the wedding. She really took our vision for how we wanted our wedding to be captured and made it into pieces of art that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

  • Classic style
  • Serves Swannanoa, NC for additional fees

Hello I'm Michaella I am the face behind Smile As You Mae Photography. I specialize in weddings, newborn, and family photography. I have 7+ years of experience in the industry. I mainly serve the SC+ NC region. I was born and raised in Lancaster, SC. I earned my BSN degree from the University of South Carolina Upstate. Photography was a hobby for me during nursing school. Never did I think it would take me the places I have gone. Fast forward seven years later and I have photographed over 100 weddings, 1000+ sessions, and own a photography studio right inside my hometown.

Looking for a photographer is very stressful. This was me and my husband’s first time getting any type of professional photos done as a couple. Going through Michella photos is exactly what I was looking for! After speaking with her she was very understanding and helpful with finding a place for our engagement photos. She went above and beyond at one point of our wedding it started to rain and she asked if we wanted to take a picture. I agreed not knowing that the picture was going to come out amazing!! Never could I have thought it would’ve came out the way it did and I am so grateful!

Blue Reverie Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Swannanoa, NC for additional fees

I began photography started in 2015 when I became a photojournalist for the U.S. Air Force. I photographed my first wedding in 2017 and completely fell in love. From there, my passion for photography and working with couples only grew, and I finally decided to begin my business. I love cold brew coffee, being outdoors and my two dogs! I lived in Charleston, South Carolina, for 5 years, but I now call Phoenix home, but I will probably never stop traveling back for weddings. Charleston will always be one of my favorite places. When I'm not with my family or working, you can find me with a good book or trying out a new restaurant.

Justin and Lauren truly are amazing. From start to finish the entire experience of having them shoot our engagement and wedding photos was absolutely fantastic. Justin & Lauren do incredible work, are professional and always quick to respond with any questions or clarifications, and as an added bonus are quite fun to spend time with. Even as someone who is not very comfortable in front of the camera, their laid-back attitude and patience with my awkwardness immediately placed me at ease and turned our shoot into a genuinely enjoyable experience. Their photo quality is incredible, and we have received countless compliments on both our photos and the final album they created for us. I can't say enough how much I would recommend them to any and everyone, you won't be disappointed.

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

Naiya Ross Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Swannanoa, NC for additional fees

Naiya Ross Photography is a wedding photography business operating out of Escondido, California. Previously working in photojournalism, I have a keen eye for capturing the candid moments of authentic emotion that reveal themselves throughout every once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I try to put passionate and creativity into every project that I take on, I strive to craft stress-free photography experiences and images that reflect each couple’s one-of-a-kind romantic bond.

As two introverts getting married, we needed a photographer that would make us feel at ease, forget we even had staff on our day of, but also had a good hand in dealing with guests who liked to get involved in the vendors' craft. Naiya's skillful and gorgeous photos speak for themselves. We really loved working with her not only for our engagement photo session, but also the day of!!! Due to some unforseen emergency family matters, our photos were a bit late. We wish she would have given a bit more proactive communication regarding this. However, the final product was worth the wait!

I am a Wedding, Portrait, and Event Photographer. I’m based out of Northern Virginia, but I enjoy traveling to Virginia Beach and other destinations. I’m a Mermaid at heart, so naturally, my favorite place to be is by the sea. I am married to my best friend, Michael, and we have 2 pups named Lily Mae & Sir Chance. I have the biggest heart for the ocean and all of its living things! My favorite aquatic animals are sharks! I would love to add that I am a Shark Photographer on top of being a Wedding & Portrait photographer. I am the Founder of The Mermaid Series Blog.

Sitting here obsessing over all of the photos that Kristin has taken throughout my wedding journey! I don't know where to start because she is just absolutely wonderful! She offered an amazing wedding package so she did our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, rehearsal, and our wedding day! My husband and I are not fond of getting our picture taken, but Kristin made us feel so relaxed and comfortable and walked us through every step and pose! We have been amazed by everything she has done that even our sneak peeks gallery from the wedding day is blowing our minds! We're like, wait, there's more?! YES! We can't wait! Kristin's husband even brought his drone and got some amazing aerial shots after our ceremony, then during the reception, Kristin was on the dance floor getting every shot possible! I am so excited to see the final results! Highly recommend!

Katie Arnold Photography

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

We have come to find that life’s greatest events, although monumental, are simply pieces of our stories. Our hope is to capture those pieces in their most honest way-- reflecting them through tangible imagery, to look back on, to hang on walls, and hold in our hands for generations to come.

Austin and Jenna- where to start? These two are everything we could have wished for (and more) in our photographers! From the beginning they made us feel like more than just another client, they truly made us feel like friends. I knew going into the wedding planning season that I wanted photographers who captured who we truly were, how the moments really felt and they certainly surpassed those expectations.They made us look and feel so wonderful on one of the most special days of our lives and I still look through our gallery often, reminiscing. I still don't know how they managed to make two of the most camera-shy people feel so at ease! At the end of the day if you want quality photos that capture the intimate moments and feelings of the most special days and times in your life- I cannot recommend the Sauers enough. I look forward to sharing these pictures with my husband and our loved ones for years and years to come.

I am a destination wedding photographer . While I’m based in Arkansas I have a love for destination weddings and elopements. You name the place and let’s go!! When I am not behind the camera taking a picture of you and your loves, Im taking them of my 2 littles living the daily mom grind! I get how crazy life can be but as Dr. Suess said it best "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory!"

I got married in September 2021 and had the best experience with Faith! I ended up catching her while she was doing a Black Friday sale and got a full wedding package for less than 2k! I was able to get engagements, bridals, and a full wedding day with her and at the time she had someone working under her as well so I had two photographers. Faith was great at choreographing poses for photos and working with the direction of the sun. We also loved that she was very kind but also knows how to take control of a large group of people to get great photos. The turn around for my photos was very quick on all three occasions and we loved the finished product! Faith will not only be your photographer but she will be your cheerleader and friend! :)

If you're looking for a photographer that is as excited as your big day as you are, then I am the Charleston wedding photographer for you! My goal is to document your wedding day as it happens with beautiful photos that you'll cherish forever, and to serve to the best of my ability throughout the entire wedding planning process. I am a southern girl from Savannah, GA. I love all things Disney related, a nice cold Coca-Cola, snuggles with my Giant Schnauzer, and traveling with my husband Ethan! I enjoy finding new restaurants and coffee shops to try, beautiful flowers on my kitchen counter and a crisp fall morning. I’m so glad you’re here!

Maggie was awesome to work with! She was always responsive, on time, and very friendly while maintaining professionalism throughout. We've loved all the photos she delivered to us! Maggie provided great recommendations for locations both in Charleston (Engagement shoot) and Savannah (Wedding event) and helped immensely with posing and being comfortable and natural. Her ability to streamline group photos and manage a variety of personalities without being uncomfortable or rude was incredible! We absolutely would work with Maggie again.
