Hey! We’re Dylan & Esteban – a photography and videography team with big hearts, a little nerdy edge, and a love for capturing life’s real moments. Based here in Georgia, we’ve shaped our business to reflect who we are: genuine, down-to-earth, and passionate about creating an experience that feels like you. Whether it’s a intimate wedding, an elopement, or a session for just the two of you, we’re here to capture your love story in a way that’s fun and true to who you are.

Dylan and Esteban are a DREAM TEAM! They went above and beyond for our engagement shoot. They drove 3 hours to Providence Canyon and took us around to multiple breathtaking sceneries to capture our vision. We felt so comfortable throughout the experience. They helped us carry all our props, outfits, etc. even had a fan ready since it was scorching hot out. They guided us on poses and truly brought out our best. They were also so easy to talk to about editing styles and open to any and all feedback. It was an all around amazing experience, the photos are incredible, plus they are two genuine and beautiful humans. I can’t recommend them enough!

Helen Joy Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Valle Crucis, 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.

We decided to hire Helen Joy for our elopement after she did our maternity shoot because she was so amazing to work with and everything was so easy and natural. On our day of elopement, the weather didn’t go according to plan and we ended up with foggy overcast lighting. I can’t tell you how amazing those photos came out despite the conditions, and she went along with everything on the fly with ease. She was able to capture the magic in the moments, foggy weather and location change included, and those photos capture our tender moments in a frame forever. I will cherish those til the end of our days. She takes shots so discretely and I had no idea she caught some of the beautiful moments that she did. I can’t say enough good things, we highly recommend Helen Joy for any photography you’re looking for!

We easily chose Shack Photo and Film for our wedding day. Their communication style was open, continuous, kind, and mindful throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was superior, first-rate, excellent, and of the highest quality - truly exemplary.

Their documentary style allowed us to revisit the genuine, authentic moments that we will forever hold dearly. We are so grateful to Shack Photo and Film for helping to make our special day perfect.

As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous! I had taken a few with my iPhone - and while I knew his would be better, his totally blew me away. I can't wait to work with Journeys Photography 941 again!

So incredibly impressed with Juan. He was calm and composed from the very first moment. He knew exactly what to do and for an overstimulated bride, it was exactly what I needed. The pictures came out absolutely beautiful and not just your generic everyday photos…they tell a beautiful story.

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.

Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us. He was absolutely amazing and did a great job collaborating with our other vendors and coordinating logistics and timing of what we wanted to have done. We were so happy that we got videography done for our big day- feels like we’re reliving it each time we watch it! Highly recommend and very worth it!!!

I love being a wedding photographer in Asheville. Spending time with couples one on one to develop a personal connection and make them feel comfortable is what I love! I want everyone to feel like they are in their comfortable and natural environment when they are with me. Capturing people’s natural emotions and connections with those they love is why we take photographs, right? So let’s get comfortable and make the process stress free! When you hire me you get me. I will always be the person that you work with, from the first email, through your future sessions. No outsourcing photographers here!

Jessica was fantastic!! We had small outdoor wedding on a Tuesday in February with 24 guests and Jessica captured it perfectly. Prior to the wedding Jessica made sure every detail was covered and a timeline was created for a seamless day. Day of Jessica arrived on time and was ready to shoot! She was flexible, staying an extra hour to capture more of our cocktail hour and braved the cold as we had requested going to Dry Falls waterfall after the ceremony to get some shots. Our two large dogs were a part of the ceremony and Jessica was wonderful working with them prior and during the ceremony to get special shots with them! We absolutely love how all of our pictures turned out. Jessica captured our love perfectly and our day will forever be documented beautifully from her photos. Highly recommend Jessica!

Two small town photographers that absolutely love, love! We are a couple in Western North Carolina that enjoy the small things in life, like spending time with our dogs and hiking out into the middle of nowhere. In the summer time you'll probably find us out on the lake, or in our garden with our chickens running around. In the spring and fall we love going on hikes to see new waterfalls and mountain views!

Sarah and Brad bring something genuine to the table. When you work with a couple who has so much love for not only their work but for each other, it completely elevates the experience and it’s like they are already family. Everything feels natural, unforced, and it’s a true joy to have been both in front of their cameras and along side of them. The laughter is only a bonus to the quality you receive in your final product, and it really makes the time you spent together unforgettable. I live in Kentucky and I am fortunate that they love to travel and work with so many people. If you want memories that you can be proud to show off, Sarah and Brad are the only two that I have ever found that can create unique and beyond stunning images all while bringing their individuality into the mix. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for me, both personally and professionally. You won’t find anyone better.

Hi, my name is Maria Davis! I am a documentary style photographer capturing love stories on both film and digital. I am a homegrown and local Winston-Salem, NC girl with a second location in Boston, MA. This combination of locations allows me to easily serve all up and down the upper east coast, but I am always ready to hop on a flight(: Visit my website to see a little more about me, my work, and how I can help you make your wedding day visions real!

Maria was the best photographer for our wedding! We chose her for her bright and vibrant style of photos and we couldn’t be more happy with our decision. My husband and I are not big picture takers and are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Maria was the best person to walk us through the steps. We first met her for our engagement photos and she made the process so much fun. We all laughed so much and it made my husband and I that much more excited for our wedding! On the day of our wedding, Maria was energetic and welcoming to everyone. She gave clear directions and made sure everyone was comfortable. She sent us the perfect sneak peak photos as well. We got a few couple, bridal party, and detail pictures. I love how we got a sneak peak of the whole day and we cannot wait to the rest!

They are the sweetest folks to work with. We had always wanted a video package but could not find an affordable option. Billy and Miss Cheryl did BOTH! We got photos and videos for two days and they even live streamed our wedding to our family overseas. Billy's photos are insane gorgeous and Cheryl's video captured everything we had dreamed of. I highly recommend them to everyoone wanting a amazing wedding.

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.
