Bold, unique and VIBRANT photographers. Based in North Carolina and Colorado, but we love to travel anywhere! We are a team of THREE photographers who love LOVE! We can’t wait to work with you :) We focus heavily on a photojournalistic approach while ensuring our clients feel comfortable in front of the lens. We utilize external lighting and flashes to enhance images, while also mastering the art of natural lighting.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first meeting with The Vibrant we had no doubt that they were the photographers for us and would deliver stunning photos of our wedding day...and yet somehow they still managed to far exceed our expectations! We're not your typical bride and groom (I'm 55, he's 52) and our wedding was far from traditional...in fact, we chose a 76-year old dive bar as the location for our ceremony - a cool spot for sure, but not exactly an optimal setup or lighting for wedding photos. Oh, and then there's the unfortunate fact that I usually (unintentionally) make the most ridiculous facial expressions if I know someone's taking my picture... But somehow Michelle and David managed to work magic from behind their cameras on our wedding day, and we couldn't possibly be any happier with the results. They didn't just take pictures of our wedding and reception, rather they masterfully captured the day's spirit of love, laughter, fun, and funky uniqueness in a way that will preserve our memories of those moments forever. Almost as importantly, Michelle's and David's fun personalities and easygoing style put me so at ease that they even managed to get shots that made me feel beautiful, and what bride doesn't want that? Check out The Vibrant...if you book them for your wedding or event I can promise you'll be glad you did - Michelle, Michael, and David are consummate professionals, incredibly talented and creative photographers/artists, and just all around good people...

I've been putting off this review for a while but only because I don't feel like I have ability to express how much I LOVED working with Jessica and how great our photos turned out! Jessica takes the time to get to know you and your partner and what your needs are. She is thorough in making sure you go over expectations, scenery, lighting, who will be in your photos, etc. She is punctual, excited, and very easy to work with! Often it can be awkward taking photos that are supposed to represent the intimate aspects of your marriage/relationship but Jessica puts you at ease and is so understanding of the situation. She gives great advice and wonderful options to choose from but if you don't love ALL of your photos I would be extremely surprised. Due to Covid-19, we had to call off the large scale wedding we had planned, we still got married, still had Jessica come for our photos but to be honest my expectation were not super high only because the lighting in the venue was terrible. While I should have never doubted Jessica's magic, but I thought to myself "how good can they be with this lighting and this boring room?". It BLEW ME AWAY how wonderful all the photos turned out despite my concerns and I ended up posting EVERY SINGLE PICTURE to our Facebook for our friends and family to see. That's how great they were! I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much Three Region Photography!

Hi, I'm Kayla, and I believe that your wedding day should reflect what you and your beloved want; **not** what others want. Yep–I said it. Your wedding day can be your greatest adventure yet, and your decision to elope can trailblaze the way for more intention in your life. How? Eloping is a coming home to yourself and your beloved because you’re boiling all the details of your day down to what really matters. With that extra space in your day, void of distractions, you're truly free to live out your day with intention. I would be so thrilled and honored to come alongside you and help capture and craft your best day ever!

Kayla is an absolute DREAM to work with! My husband had her secretly follow us around when he proposed, and she was such a delight! We were so comfortable with her and she took the most amazing photos. So, when we heard she did elopements … we knew we had to go with her! She walked us through the entire elopement process, researched the area to find the BEST space for us to have the ceremony, and kept us updated on everything leading up to the big day. We wanted a sunrise ceremony and she was able to figure out the exact area inside Cloudland Canyon that would give us the best light. Our pictures are absolutely breathtaking due to this. Not only is Kayla an amazing photographer, but she’s truly a delight to work with. She has the best energy and she is SO kind and patient! If you’re thinking about eloping, use Kayla. She knows her stuff and knows how to make sure you have the most perfect day.

Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Florida, and now I am back in North Carolina. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging at home with my two Aussies (because, let’s be honest, they run my household). Dogs are my world, which is why I’m always equipped with at least two lint rollers during every shoot (I’ve pretty much achieved Master Lint Roller status by now). Every moment is special and worth capturing, and my job is to help tell your story in a way that honors your love and feelings for one another.

Blythe Eland Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding day. Blythe Eland is not who we originally booked with (although now I wish we had known about her from the start!) The night before our wedding, our wedding photographer let us know that one half of their two person team would not be able to make it and that Blythe Eland would be filling in as second shooter. I was certainly nervous to hear this information (especially the night before) but it was clear on the day of the wedding that I had nothing to worry about. Blythe arrived early and went above and beyond. Her photo ideas and instructions were fantastic, and she seamlessly took the lead to ensure our day went off without a hitch. We were so grateful for her professionalism and talent. Since our wedding, we've had the pleasure of working with Blythe two additional times and have been consistently impressed by her responsiveness, timeliness, and the beautiful photos she captures. We cannot recommend Blythe Eland Photography highly enough.

Hi! I'm Elise and I have been a professional photographer since 2020 and have found a love and passion for capturing weddings! I've been married to my guy since 2010 and have 4 kids. My favorite part of a wedding day is the first look and dancing at the reception! I love sushi, hiking with my family, and my plant babies

Of all of the vendors and activities surrounding our wedding, aside from actually marrying the man of my dreams, the most important thing to me was the photos. Elise and her assistant did a beautiful job capturing our day and all of the special moments. We were able to get the shots that mattered to us most. I would use her again in a heartbeat!

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.
