Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

Tamara Merri Photography

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy, there is not enough praise in this world for what you deserve for truly creating the most magical elopement day. From the moment we started talking, Tammy filled our imagination with ideas, plans and picture locations to help make our wedding special. She did not hesitate when we decided to elope in Acadia National Park and sent over research and location ideas of where to hold our ceremony. She was attentive to the details that were most important to us and really allowed us to create our perfect day. Not only did she help plan our elopement day but day of she arrived early and was able to help create the excitement and long lasting memories. With her creative eye, she found the most perfect spot for us to have our first look. With great skill, she professionally moved the wedding party along to be to stay true to the ceremony timeline and the National Park entrance time (which is a feat to coordinate 7 guests, a dog and a bus driver). With not having a wedding planner (or any guest focused on timeline) it was so helpful to have Tammy to take charge and gather the group. Lastly, but certainly not least, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We dont normally enjoy being the center of attention, she had us move naturally and cued us to be confident in front of the camera. With her upbeat personality and lots of laughs, the pictures captured our excitement and love while we eloped. She didn’t hesitate for a second when we asked for our dog to be in almost every picture us and was able to capture. She read my mind as taking pictures from different angles and of the landscape around us. Thank you Tammy for making our dream surprise elopement a reality! Not only was it the most perfect day, but now we have pictures that capture the emotions and celebration of our wedding!

Welcome to Franzi Annika Photography, where elegance meets the artistry of visual storytelling. We are Franzi and Martin – a husband-wife duo. While our European roots shape our style, our dedication to the art of photography is what guides us. Through our in-the-moment, meticulous focus on the finer details, we create a collection of genuine narratives preserved on film. These photographs will continue to reflect the emotional depth of your celebration for generations to come.

You won’t find photographers more skilled or personable than Franzi and Martin! They photographed our engagement in Charleston, SC, rehearsal dinner and wedding in Boston, MA. We cannot recommend them highly enough for your next engagement session, wedding, or event! Working with them was a dream and we feel so lucky to have met them. First, if you took all the photography away, Franzi and Martin will enhance your wedding day just by being a part of it. They are warm, funny and fit right in with the gals/guys and families. They also got along and coordinated so well with our venue, floral designer and planner - everyone loved working with them. We all felt so comfortable around them and this is reflected in the natural, beautiful photos. They are also incredibly professional, prepared and organized. The morning of the wedding, they had already scouted and planned all of the locations for the first look, family and bridal party photos, and husband/wife shots. We didn’t have to do or think about a thing in terms of photos the entire day - we just followed their lead! During the ceremony and reception, they were so subtle in taking their photos. We were able to enjoy the day without it feeling like a photoshoot. The photos were simply stunning. We have gotten so many compliments on how unique and personal our photos are. Most importantly, they feel like us, because Franzi and Martin got to know us throughout this process. We had such a hard time putting together an album because we had too many favorites to choose from! One of the guiding values for choosing our wedding vendors was to find true artists who are passionate about their craft and then trust them to work their magic. Franzi and Martin are just that - artists. We wanted them to have complete creative control and freedom and would encourage everyone who works with them to do the same - your photos will be gorgeous, and your wedding day memories will be made better because Franzi and Martin were there.

Growing up, I was obsessed with magical love stories. Fairy tale love stories always left me with a euphoric feeling. I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

Julia Scarborough Photography

  • Serves Waynesville, NC for additional fees

Someday, years from now, someone close to you will ask about your wedding day - someone that may not have been able to be there, or a new friend or family member who you have welcomed into your life. As you sit on your couch and reminisce while sipping on a cup of coffee, rather than just telling them about your wedding day - I want you to be able to show them. Photographs have an amazing ability to freeze special moments in time. I want to do that for you.

Julia was a complete joy to work with for our engagement photos and then wedding! From the day we met I knew my (then) fiancé and I would be able to relax and be comfortable in front of her camera. She was so much fun to work with and had us in beautiful but still comfortable poses/positions. Her and her husband shot our wedding and they were so patient throughout hectic family photos. We can't recommend Julia enough!!

I’m originally from New York, and shortly after moving down south I found myself falling in love with a country boy and made the New River Valley, VA my home. I have had a passion for photography since I was a child, and when I finally decided to take the leap into my own photography journey I was very lucky to have the support of family, friends and other professionals. I’ve had the opportunity to have some amazing mentors along the way and have soaked up everything they took the time to teach me.

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!!

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 want you to be able to look back on these photos in 20 years and feel everything you felt on your wedding day. Together we’ll plan a day that doesn’t just fly by, but is full of fun, laughter, and memorable moments. No matter how your day plays out, it’s going to be magical, and I’ll be there every moment to capture it. I describe my work as documentary, timeless, and authentic. If this sounds like your vision for your wedding day, let's get this party started!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about her and her work. We found Ally through my brother as he hired her for his wedding in Georgia. Even though our wedding would be in NJ, after seeing my brother's photos, my husband and I knew we needed to fly her up for our own wedding. Since Ally had never been to our venue before, she made sure to fly in a few days early and schedule a walk through of our venue. She had assured us that she does destination weddings frequently and would be able to adapt to any setting. She certainly kept that promise. By the day of the wedding, it was like Ally had been to our venue a million times. She knew all the best spots to take photos and transitioning from each of those spots was absolutely seamless. Another great thing about Ally is her demeanor. She is so kind, warm, and calm. Having a presence like that on your wedding day is priceless especially when you have a big family/wedding party. I cannot thank Ally enough for helping us pull together our family, friends, and loved ones so that we could take every photo we wanted to on the timeline we outlined. Not only is Ally extremely organized and professional but her work is amazing. Ally asked me to create a Pinterest board of photos I liked - on the day of the wedding, it was clear she had studied the gallery and knew the exact vibe I wanted. With or without the Pinterest board, she has her own great artistic eye and directed a lot of great shots. I expected to have a few photos I loved from my wedding day but Ally provided us with an endless number of photos we love. I have gotten multiple comments from friends/family on our photos and my cousin even wants to fly her up for when she gets married. We had some older relatives/grandparents at the wedding and it meant a lot to our parents that Ally was able to capture so many beautiful photos with them. On top of all of this, Ally is also extremely timely. Our wedding was on a Friday and by Sunday night we had our sneak peak which was 150-200 photos fully edited. She then provided our entire wedding gallery right on the timeline she initially stated. Not having to follow up or track her down for our photos was just the cherry on top of the entire experience. To summarize - I cannot recommend Ally enough whether that be for your wedding, engagement shoot, etc. Ally is responsive, kind, so talented, and helpful. Thank you Ally for capturing our special day!!

I want to know what you envision when I say wedding photos. Is is a gallery wall of framed photos? A coffee table book for entertaining? Emotional candids you share to social media? I think it’s so important for us to chat and see if we’re a good fit for each other. There’s a solid chance you’ll spend more time with me than your fiancé on your wedding day.

Ms Kathryn was fantastic with communication and professionalism. She worked well with me while planning my wedding day and bridal portraits. She did everything I asked and more on my wedding day. She was very reasonable and was with me for around 8 hours. She arrived while I was finishing with my makeup and stayed until my dress change. I received my wedding photos within 2 weeks from my wedding day. Ms Kathryn was excellent!

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.

Deb is such a joy to work with. From the first time we met up, I knew we would be a great fit for working together. She’s relatable, knowledgeable, and makes sure you’re taken care of - which is a great asset to have! I love working with her, and look forward to many more weddings with her!

Hey - I’m Tillie! Does someone putting a camera in your face make you cringe? Me too! I know having your photo taken can be awkward and uncomfortable. I take my time to get to know my clients and their photo goals prior to their wedding day.

We cannot say enough positive words about tillie and the work she did for our wedding!!! She was amazing!! From the very beginning of hiring her she was available and communicative and listened to all our needs and wants for our pictures and at the end they were perfect! She was even adaptable to parts of the wedding that were a surprise to our guests and we forgot to inform her that they were happing and she was able to capture those moments! She sent us a little preview of our pictures right away for us to enjoy as she worked on the others. I as the bride also had a slight issue with how my hair turned out and though most people wouldn’t have noticed, to me it was a huge deal and she was able to edit out the hair in the pictures to make it exactly how I wanted! The wedding website she set up was beautiful organized and easy to navigate for us and our friends and family. Would highly recommend using Tillie for any event you have!

I’ve been doing photography since 2012. There has definitely been a lot of growth and sold cameras through out the years. I’m 100% self taught and I believe that shows in my work. I’m a learn by doing type person. I’m an introvert and somewhat reserved, but I can guarantee I will make some stupid joke that will make you laugh. I enjoy natural light and playing with the sun. I’m a big fan of the unconventional photos that most photographers say no to. I love love. It doesn’t matter who you are, who you love, I want to tell your love story.

Cece and her husband Ben from Ringuette Photo Co. were truly wonderful to work with! She was so communicative and was always available to answer any questions. They suggested the most perfect place to take my bridals and the photos turned out AMAZING! We had a blast with them and can't wait to see our wedding day photos!

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

This was my first time working with Yalford Photography and I was impressed by the detail of her timeline. We worked together to make sure everything coincided and made any adjustments as needed. On the day of the clients wedding we all worked together as a team to give the couple the best day. The photos are beautiful. Consider Yalford you won't regret it !

Hi, I'm Allison- a mom of two, huge animal lover (mom to six fur babies), and most importantly a hopeless romantic with a passion for capturing your love story and perfectly curating it. No really, I hand edit every single image until I feel like it is perfection while also taking a documentary style approach so nothing feels forced. I take a personal interest in your wedding day and aim to make it as stress free as possible. I want you to know you are in good hands and I will do whatever it takes to make your wedding dreams a reality.

Allison is AMAZING! She did the photography for my sister’s wedding last year and I knew I just had to have her as my wedding photographer this year. She is very kind, communicates through the entire process to get your vision, very professional, and just an amazing person in general. She also has a sneak peek with in 48 hours of your big day. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

Every day I get to meet new and unique people who allow me to join them & to capture the most intimate and emotional moments of their lives. I seek couples who have wandering hearts and adventuring souls, Catching that closeness between two people completely in love. The way your hands fit together, the laughter, the way you hold on to each other.. That kind of chemistry, that’s what makes my job so much better, I get to be the one witnesses it, and saves it. I’ll shoot that kind of love all day and twice on a Sunday.

Ashton really is such a great photographer & person. She made it so easy to be comfortable in front of her and her camera. Doing the boudoir shoot with her was not easy for me, but she made it easy. Didn’t even think twice about what I was wearing lol she made my husband and I so comfortable, really listened to what we wanted and captured our wedding day/relationship perfectly. Looking at our wedding albums seriously looks like we’re watching a movie of the day. So many candid effortless pictures. She caught the emotion, the fun, the ugly, the love, the happiness. EVERYTHING. Ashton pays attention to the details, she has your back, most importantly she makes you feel comfortable. I will 100% be booking her for future family portraits. As long as she’s a photographer, she’ll my photographer. Thank you Ashton for capturing all of our special moments.

Sam was our outstanding wedding photographer! She is super personable, going the extra mile to help us loosen up and feel comfortable throughout our wedding day! Sam worked very hard to capture all moments from the day, from pre-arrival, to the bridal suite, the groomsmen getting ready, the ceremony and reception. They were able to capture all of the day’s special moments. She worked extremely well with the rest of our vendors, and her easy-going, professional attitude is not to be underestimated. She made sure we got our proofs and were happy with their quality - which we were astounded by! Truly a great choice for a wedding or event photographer!

I’m a hardcore believer in documenting and capturing memories in their most authentic form, as you would write about in your diary in words to remember forever. Your life is worthy of being captured with absolute authenticity and boldness. Your existence is timeless, yet so completely unique. Humans are complex and incredible, and my craft is driven by the deep love of the human experience.

I can’t put into words how incredible our experience with Katie was. We knew she would deliver beautiful images after seeing her portfolio, but from our first interaction with her it was clear she goes above and beyond in every interaction. She was amazing to work with. She knew how to navigate working with EVERYONE and she made the entire process a breeze. My pictures from that day are worth their weight in gold and I have never seen a photographer articulate people and their stories the same way Katie does. I cannot recommend her enough. She has a beautiful soul and it shows.

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. Share love, one image at a time.

Jackie Marie Photography

My first wedding day to capture was two years after I had started freelancing; a day I will never forget, Valentine's Day, 2014, in Hot Springs, AR. Little did I know how my focus would shift from that day forward. In the past seven years since then, I am honored to have captured more than three-dozen weddings. It never fails that each of those days are full of such unique beauty and character, but most importantly, they are full of loving memories of a lifetime.

Jackie is literally the best photographer we’ve ever worked with. She’s been a part of our little family from the very start. From our wedding, our reception, and maternity photos. Her style is very unique, and that’s what drove my husband to seek her out originally. Jackie is highly trained in many different schools of photography (food, real estate, wedding, portrait, etc), so she’s developed a style all her own. It’s not just photo journalism, it’s dramatic. My bridals were light and airy while our reception photos were dark and intimate. It was better than what we could have asked for! She was able to handle our ginormous family, and made time for everyone! Jackie herself is a sweet and caring individual. She remembers her clients forever down the line, and she’s just as sweet a year or two later as when she first met us. I promise, when you choose Jackie, you choose a professional who knows EXACTLY what to do and how to do it. You also choose someone who is a part of your family from day one!

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!
