  • Serves Swannanoa, NC for additional fees

I love what I get to do!! It’s my PASSION! I enjoy capturing all of the beautiful and unscripted moments. I love how every wedding is different and each one presents its unique moments that I seek after. I also do photography but I gotta say, there’s something extra special about being able to bring those photos to life and turning them into your own movie, so that you can relive every moment of your day instead of just seeing them in pictures. You get to feel the emotions and relive the moments with loved ones.

Alex was such a dream to work with! From start to finish made the wedding/videography experience so easy and fun! His outgoing, comedic, and fun personality made my husband and I so comfortable throughout the entire shoot time. As people who don’t like to be in the spotlight, that was huge! To feel so comfortable and have so much fun on our big day was so special. Additionally, Alex went out of his way to make a trailer of our wedding video for our friends and family who couldn’t make it to our wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was so wonderful to get to share a glimpse of the big day with them, brought tears to their eyes! Alex truly captured everything that I wanted, from all the beautiful shots of the romantic venue, to capturing our quirky personalities and making such a beautiful film of it. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent Alex! Sincerely, Robert and Sophia Wilson

My goal is to ensure an affordable yet seamless production of your big day. Capturing the best moments should not take the largest chunk out of your budget. I'll ensure you get quality visuals that compliment your story.

I wanted to recreate a romantic perfume commercial as a video starring my husband and I that would play outside during the cocktail hour of our wedding. I thought it would be impossible because it involved trains, cars, a clawfoot tub, and other challenging locations and set pieces. But Ken understood my vision and was able to capture everything I wanted while still making the video personalized to my husband and me. Now we have a beautiful video we can share with our friends, re-watch ourselves, and eventually show our future children and grandchildren. Don't miss out on an opportunity to work with Ken at Regalia Weddings! Your vision will become his mission!

Hi I’m Emma, an AR based, traveling photographer! My style is a blend of film, editorial, and artfully nostalgic imagery. I’m an observant documenter at heart. I was heavily raised on indie & coming of age films, so being moved by visuals is my cup of tea!! When it comes to your day, my goal is to direct when needed without interfering with the moment. I want to capture your spouse shedding a tear, your Uncle Jim going for his second plate of food, and your bff busting it down on the dance floor. I prefer to be a fly on the wall for these moments, but put on fergalicious and you leave me no choice but to hit the dance floor.

Emma is AMAZING! She brought our vision to life above and beyond what I could have imagined. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we genuinely had so much fun taking photos. The photos felt like us, which was the most important thing for us. 1000/10 would recommend her!!

Hi there, my name is Lily Quinn-Hendrick, I am the owner and head planner of El Events, specializing in wedding planning, design, and coordination. What started as a wedding gift to a friend quickly turned into a passion for curating weddings specific to each couple. I received my BA in Communications from UTC and fell in love with Chattanooga during my four years in college. When I’m not planning weddings you can catch me in yoga or spin, hanging out with my dog Sophie, or with my nose in good thriller. It is always such an honor to be a part of a couple’s special day. I can’t wait to help you make your dreams come to life!

Lily and her team are absolutely amazing. It was so relieving to know that our wedding day was in such good hands, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. I was concerned I would feel stressed and anxious, but the team made sure everything went well. From our initial meeting, Lily was wonderful with every detail, amazing with all communication, and overall made the wedding process easy! I have recommended Lily and her team to anyone who is planning a wedding.

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

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.

I’ve always loved photography. Yet, it wasn’t until 2008 when I began to travel internationally for work that decided to bring my Nikon D750. I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple.

She listened to our thoughts and needs, and executed them beautifully!! The day of the wedding, she captured every special moment—both big and small—with such precision and artistry. Ashley didn’t just take pictures; she told the story of our day through her lens. Every time we look at our photos, we are transported back to that magical day, reliving the emotions, the laughter, and even the quiet, tender moments we might have missed in the hustle and bustle of it all. Oh and if you are also camera-nervous couple like us, don’t worry, Ashley gets your back!! Her attention to detail and ability made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We were both a little nervous about being photographed, but she had a way of guiding us through each shot in such a relaxed, natural way that we almost forgot we were posing. ;) The final images exceeded all of our expectations!! She perfectly balanced candid shots with more traditional portraits, and the lighting, composition, and timing were just flawless! We looked at our photos and we were both like “who are these stunning people??” We’ve received countless compliments on the photos, our families and friends are still raving about how beautiful and authentic the photos are, and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives!! We’re so grateful to have had Southern & Grace Photography as part of our wedding day—captured the essence of who we are as a couple, and we are very thankful for her professionalism, talent, and the heart she put into her work—truly a highlight of our wedding experience! 10/10 recommended!! :)

I have been in the wedding industry for going on three years now! It is where I have found my true passion. I am a mother, a wife, and a hopeless romantic! While I am an Ohio photographer, I also LOVE to travel for weddings as well. While I photograph a little bit of everything, my specialties are weddings, boudoir, couples, and maternity. I am the perfect photographer to grow with your family!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Elizabeth Gardner Photography! We had to put together our wedding in just a couple days because of a severe illness in my family, and I truly didn’t even think we would find a photographer. But once we got connected with Elizabeth, she went above and beyond to make sure our day was captured in the most beautiful ways. She was so wonderful to work with: easygoing, attentive, and caring. She thought of things we hadn’t even had a chance to consider, and though we had so little time to prepare, she was right there with us every step of the way. And the outcome was STUNNING. We couldn’t be more pleased with our photos! She helped give me a full wedding experience when I didn’t think it would be possible.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

Jeff was truly the MVP of my wedding day. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. He knew exactly where to put people for the best outcomes. He made me feel confident and directed me every step of the way. He was professional and respected everyone’s time. He took pictures of my wedding in late October, and really highlighted the beautiful fall foliage. All of my pictures look dreamy and magical. Couldn’t ask for a better photographer.

Hi - I'm Lizzie! I am a story teller and professional hype woman who is dedicated to preserving your legacy through imagery. It is a privilege being trusted to photograph your wedding and it is not a responsibility that I accept lightly. I truly believe that the only things left after your wedding day are the photos and the marriage. Every couple has a unique story. I take the time to get to know my clients so that I can capture their wedding day in an honest and personalized way. I will work side-by-side with your wedding planner in order to create a custom, photo-friendly timeline that will ensure that my team captures every moment.

I spent a lot of time deliberating which photographer to choose. Lizzie Baker’s work really stood out. Her photography is truly a work of art and the passion comes across not only in her pictures but in how she engages with you end to end. Lizzie was one of my favorite vendors to work with and she truly made our wedding day better. We are delighted with how she captured our wedding, the scenery, and all the details and moments that you want to be able to look back on. Lizzie was always one step ahead of the program which was a huge benefit. She had great ideas for shots and her approach and personality kept us at ease during the planning process and throughout wedding day. Lizzie is not just an amazing photographer - she really is your hype woman, wedding day extraordinaire, and someone you will be happy to have at your side. People say you spend a significant amount of time with your photographer which proved to be true! We are so glad it was with Lizzie.

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!

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.
