  • Classic style
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Valdese, NC

Hey! I'm Amanda. I’m a mama to Loretta Grace & Amelia Faye, wife to John & friend to YOU!! I love natural posing and I am a true candid photographer. Prompting you to do the silliest things, knowing you think I’m crazy, and then showing the end result is one of my favorite things ever. I take a lot of pride in my work, my business, and the overall customer service I provide my clients. It’s important to me that you feel heard, seen, and respected. I spend my free time Diamond painting, listening to true crime, and eating way too much sushi.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Loretta Grace Photography who truly captured the essence of the moment. Their attention to detail and creative eye resulted in stunning photos that exceeded all my expectations. Not only were they professional and easy to work with, but they also made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this photographer to anyone looking for exceptional quality and a unique perspective in their photoshoots. Thank you for creating such beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

Hello beautiful couples! Looking for a photographer? I’m your girl! ✨ I specialize in capturing your day in a way that’s unique to you and your love story. I love getting all the moments, even the little in between ones that may go unseen. Your day goes by SO fast, so it’s great to have someone who’s ready to be there for you and make sure you don’t miss a beat when you look back on your day. PS - I also do video!

I was looking for a photographer that would be able to take moody photos for our wedding. I joined a couple Facebook groups and found Hailey. I fell in love with her style of photos instantly. Once we spoke I knew she was a perfect fit. I felt so comfortable talking to her and letting her know what I was looking for. She was super sweet the day of the wedding and her energy was amazing. And she had amazing pinkkk hair ! She was able to sneak my wedding dress out to take photos without my bridesmaids realizing. My dress was a secret and we were able to get amazing first look photos. I highly recommend booking with her. I love all my photos and my video. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

Hi, I’m Rivkah, I three beautiful boys–Laef, Atlas and Oslo. I have a background in art, music, and wedding fashion and apparel, and I’ve been a wedding photographer for over a decade. More than anything, I’m a mom and I love it. In fact, I only commit to around twelve weddings per year to ensure I give my family, and my clients, the attention they deserve.

Awarded Best of Zola
Thanks to Rivkah, we have never felt more met with empathy than when we had to re-arrange our wedding plans. Rivkah was there to walk us through new options and adapt to our new needs. In the end, we followed her creative muse as she took us through her vision of an Icelandic elopement. It was the easiest and most majestic wedding we could have ever had and I'm not sure there's another photographer out there that could have mimicked that same experience for us. Get her booked & trust her vision! :)

Captured By Celeste

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Valdese, NC

Hey there! I'm your friendly neighborhood photographer, Celeste. As a Pisces, it feels like capturing love stories was written in the stars for me—romantic and creative by nature, I pour my heart and soul into every image I create. If you're into Enneagrams, I'm a 4, which means I embrace individuality and artistry in everything I do (though I'm still figuring out all the quirks of what that means!).

Awarded Best of Zola
Celeste is the absolute best at what she does. She is professional and detail oriented but also able to maintain a close relationship and have fun with her clients. I was a massive skeptic on professional photography- as me and my soon to be husband did not like being in-front of the camera. However, Celeste was so easy to open up with and not only was the experience to die for- she makes excellent company. My fiancé and I have grown close to Celeste and we look forward to our plans with her in the future. She is kind and open minded. She is punctual and flexible. She is witty and professional. Celeste has worked with my family and I to make sure that she makes it happen. My maternity photo location ended up being inaccessible the day of our session- and Celeste went above and BEYOND anything I could have asked if her. She set up a glamping tent on her OWN property and made magic with the circumstances we were given. She did my maternity photos in November of 2022, our first family photos in August of 2023, and will be not only photographing but a GUEST at our wedding in March of 2024. If you are new to professional pictures- or just looking for a breath of fresh air - I could not more passionately suggest anybody than Celeste.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Lane as our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough good things about her. From start to finish, Lane demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and skill that truly made our special day even more memorable. She was always in the right place at the right time, capturing all the important moments. This allowed my spouse and me to fully enjoy our day while knowing that every precious moment was being expertly documented. Additionally, Lane and her second shooter (Julian- who is an absolute rock star!) were great at managing our entire family and bridal party to ensure we got beautiful shots. (This is not an easy task- Thank you!!!) The pictures that Lane delivered were nothing short of stunning. She has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for capturing the most beautiful shots. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and love you could feel in every single shot. We couldn't be happier with the final product. It was evident that she genuinely cared about capturing our day just the way we envisioned it. We are incredibly grateful to Lane and Julian for preserving our wedding day and bridals portraits with such elegance and skill, and we highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a talented photographer. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the memories that we will cherish forever!

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold! I came to a crossroad after my son was born of whether I should return to work or pursue my passion with photography. Let’s just say I took a jump and went into business around 2012. It’s been a daring journey with the most awesome clients ever!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan. We found Jonathan through a friend, and he shot both our engagement photos and our wedding! Throughout the entire process, Jonathan wasn't just our photographer -- we really felt like he has become a dear friend to us. When we wanted to film our ceremony at the last minute due to family who weren't able to travel, Jonathan and Candice said, "No problem!" and filmed our ceremony, and got us the video within a week of the wedding, too, so our grandmas can watch. We will always treasure that he did that for us. Jonathan is incredibly talented and takes beautiful candid photos as well as the perfect posed photos we needed with our family. He is incredibly prompt in responding to questions, and delivers photos at an incredible speed too! We were able to view so many wonderful photos just 2 days after our wedding, and it's just the previews! And hey, if you are throwing a PARTY, Jonathan's dance floor photos cannot be beat. TL;DR: He is a gift to wedding photographers everywhere, we love Jonathan.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda both on weddings and as my co-host on the Super Gay Wedding podcast and she's earned my absolute highest recommendation. I literally recommend her to all of my clients. Beyond being a consummate professional and a lovely human, Amanda is a trained fine artist with an incredible eye for lighting and composition. If you leave a little wiggle room in your wedding day schedule, you'll have an album full of beautiful memories that also happen to be fine works of art. Amanda is a true team player who will do whatever it takes to make your wedding day work. An avid traveler and hiker with a small Jeep obsession, she'll also do that WHEREever it needs to be done. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Amanda RIGHT NOW.

Planning the wedding was not easy. But with help from friends and even a stranger made a huge impactful experience. Our photo/videographer team were more than capable of doing their tasks at its finest, they were more than willing to make sure that we have the best experience we could even ask for. They were generous to used most of their equipments, top-up more crew just to make sure that they can capture moments that we can reminisce in our lifetime.

Photography has always been a part of my life in some shape or form. As a young girl, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a photographer. I wasn't sure what kind I would be or how I would get there, but here I am as a wedding and elopement photographer. I value serving my couples first, and creating stunning images second. Capturing your unique love story is so important to me. In every session, I want you guys to fall in love all over again. My goal that you leave your session with a smile on your face and a heart overflowing with joy. It is always a pleasure to serve couples in love!
