  • Serves Waynesville, NC

We're that hilarious couple who will leave a smile on your face. Hi there! Because we are living one of our own! 8 years ago, we met on Tinder and immediately connected over a shared love of off-roading and storytelling. Kenny would document our adventures Jeeping across Georgia on video while I snapped photos along the way. It didn’t take long to recognize we had a special ability to capture the fullness of a story by collaborating through our favorite mediums. Today, we explore the rolling countryside of our home state (and beyond!), bringing our warm and fun-loving personalities to elegant wedding celebrations. And we hope yours is next!

I'm a 27-year-old Vegas native + Nashville resident, yet all I do is daydream about living in New York City. I'm married to a pretty phenomenal guy. I suggest Chic Fil A for dinner way too often, I'm incredibly emotional, I sang the National Anthem for President Obama in 2010, I've redesigned my home 4 times and probably won't ever stop (sorry, Brian.), my house is never above 65°F, I always have a candle lit, I'm a chronic over-thinker, Harry Potter is my love language, I'm pretty sure I have ADHD, I bake and then give 75% of it away to family (my husband hates it), music is always on, and my favorite place to be is surrounded by friends.

Christy and Alex are amazing ! They made us feel comfortable and the photos are a work of art. They capture every nose crinkle, every smile and tear. My family adored them and talked to them during the wedding. They explain what to do and just be yourself! The details of the wedding were captured so beautiful. Highly recommend and they are wonderful people. Feels like a friend not a vendor! Couldn’t thank them enough for making it to Iowa and capturing our big day. These photos are forever and generation after generation. Love Jennifer and Justin

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

Awarded Best of Zola
When Joe and I were looking for our wedding photographer, we wanted someone whose photography used natural light and whose subjects seemed at ease. We also wanted someone who would make sure our awkward selves felt comfortable in front of the camera. Gabriella checked all of our boxes. From our first email communication, Gabriella exuded joy and kindness. These traits matched the essence of her photos as well. She was extremely flexible when our schedules forced us to change our wedding date early on. She went above and beyond to attend an open house at our venue to meet us in person and to gain a sense of where our reception would be. When it came time for our engagement photos, Gabriella immediately put Joe and I at ease in front of the camera by playing great music and incorporating some amazing prompts that resulted in amazing photos. Joe and I cannot recommend Gabriella enough! Not only is she incredibly professional, but she is extremely talented in her vision for photos and getting her couples to ignore the camera and be their authentic selves. We are overjoyed with the final results of our wedding photos and we are so grateful we chose Gabriella to be our photographer!

We hired Symula Media Group for our reception-only wedding celebration! We had found her on Instagram and loved her portrait style photos, eye for detail, color choices, and angles, and are thrilled we went with her! Jenn was SO easy to work with-- incredibly responsive/communicative, so friendly (and stealth-like during the event!), and takes awesome photos. She understood our vision (industrial setting, low-key with some traditional elements), and was comfortable giving suggestions and direction when we needed it. Another review mentions that she is "professional without being stuffy," and we feel the same way...plus, has a sense of humor! (Also, LGBTQ friendly!)

Blue Dahlia Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Waynesville, NC for additional fees

My name is Rabeeh and I'm new to ZOLA (you can see over 250 reviews on my Knot profile). When I first started taking pictures, I can honestly say that I didn't plan on becoming a wedding photographer. Most other photographers I socialized with would tell me how stressful and demanding wedding photography could be. Over a decade and numerous weddings later, I must strongly disagree! I want you to relax, breathe deeply, and experience every moment of your wedding with as little worry or concern as possible. A little about myself, I am an easy going guy who enjoys numerous hobbies ranging from collecting antique cameras to the art of bonsai.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Blue Dahlia on the Knot in 2015 after our first choice photographer decided she was not longer available on our wedding day. We were planning our Nashville wedding from Los Angeles. Truthfully I booked Rabeeh just from talking to him on the phone, never once seeing a single photo. He was so calming and confident to a stressed out bride I knew we could work well alongside each other. I was very picky about certain styles and details of photos I wanted, basically I was super difficult. He communicated well with me and delivered an amazing product. He even took the time to get certain photos just right to make sure we were happy. Every person has said how beautiful all of our photos are. We have continued a professional relationship and he is the only person I send my friends to, and call for all my photo needs.

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We opted for an intimate City Hall ceremony before we host larger celebrations with friends and family, and Sarah was the PERFECT choice for our special day as our witness-photographer. She ensured we were prepared and that she understood our vision in advance, and she immediately made us feel so comfortable day-of. Wedding jitters? Awkward poses? Not here!! It was so fun to be photographed by Sarah, like hanging out with a friend who works magic with a camera. She knows exactly how to prompt you to get your best angles. We got all the shots we wanted and more, and she captured the light, movement and emotion of the day beautifully despite it being mid-February, i.e. below freezing and windswept! It was a magical experience and we can’t stop looking at our photos. We’re grateful to Sarah for making our (first) wedding day so memorable and delivering such a gorgeous gallery. She even got a few pics to us that same day so we could send them to our families. Five stars, highly recommend, no notes!

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

  • Serves Waynesville, NC for additional fees

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Awarded Best of Zola
Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

Arie was an incredible presence at our wedding, which was somewhat nontraditional and much more like a party than a wedding. She took our requests and still managed to get elegant pics from our general nonsense. We didn't really have a great vision for what we wanted but thank the heavens Arie knew what to do anyway. The pics are incredible and we've been sharing them so much! She is also fun to have around and didn't add any stress to the day which we LOVED. Can't recommend her enough!

Holly was immediately responsive & answered all our questions in detail. She was incredible at our engagement shoot & had even looked up several nearby parks to choose from, & looked at great locations within the 1 we chose to shoot our engagement photos. I was able to change outfits & my fiance/now husband & I felt totally comfortable despite it being our 1st time having professional photography focused on us with her down to earth & direct communication style. Our photos turned out gorgeous & classic. On our wedding day, we had a lot of unexpected things happen like wind & rain at our outdoor ceremony & photography session, but she handled it all with grace & got our photos done beautifully & timely with our wedding party & immediate family as we wanted. We did some outdoor portrait photos & got some adorable ones inside our bridal suite. It was relieving to see her there every step of our 8 hours we hired her for, including our pivotal dances, cake cutting, dancing, etc. She even went above & beyond her job by stepping in several times in several ways when our coordinator was completely forgetful & careless. She communicated with my Mom who was very high strung & quick tempered beautifully. My husband & I literally cannot thank her enough for how beautifully & peacefully she took care of our photos & us on our our wedding. Would recommend her 10x over.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Our experience with Danielle was nothing short of incredible! She captured our October wedding in Maine so beautifully, and the photos perfectly reflect who we are as a couple. From the moment we started working with her, she made us feel completely at ease. And provided a lot of additional unexpected guidance to help prep for our big day. She has an amazing ability to balance capturing those sweet, genuine moments with showcasing our silly side, all while making us look absolutely stunning. Nothing felt forced or overly staged—just natural and real. Her guidance during the shoot was spot-on, and the final photos blew us away. If you’re planning a wedding in New England, we can’t recommend Moon Rising Photography enough. Danielle is not only talented but also so much fun to work with. Our memories from that day wouldn’t be the same without her! And we look forward to continuing to hire her for any and all major life events!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Hello! I'm Erica and I am based in Minnesota but travel all over! I love fun adventures, traveling to new places, meeting people and learning about their unique experiences - a big part of why I love photography! I specialize in wedding and engagement portraits and love working with my couples throughout the whole wedding planning process.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Erica’s page via an Instagram search, and I instantly fell in love with the vibrancy and authenticity of her style. Her work speaks for itself—she’s a tremendous artist—but what I hope to attest here is how much MORE you get with Erica. I’m not photogenic and I’m terribly awkward while being photographed. My fiancé and I also have a significant height difference, me being 4 inches taller. All this to say, it’s not easy to make us look good. But Erica put us immediately at ease, giving us perfect cues for posing, making us laugh, and giving genuine compliments to keep us motivated. We had an absolute blast on our engagement shoot finding awesome places in northern Minnesota, taking advantage of the gorgeous fall colors, and feeling like we’d made a great friend in Erica. It was the perfect chance to practice for wedding photos, and having that confidence in Erica made the day go so very smoothly. Nothing was left to chance or overlooked. Erica sent a detailed questionnaire to find out what our priority was for photos and what unique or meaningful touches were special to us. We talked through the whole day via video chat, and the photography timeline was laid out super clearly. Despite being crazy organized and overprepared, Erica is down for anything and great at improvising and adjusting to the needs of the moment, her easygoing personality set the tone for our entire day. She’s just fun to hang out with. She went above and beyond for us, even setting up a video call on a tripod so that my fiancé’s parents could watch our ceremony live from South Africa. And then there’s the actual photos: stunning. I can’t even believe the final product- the bright beautiful colors, the genuine emotion, the perfect timing, and delightful subtleties. She made us look SO good. And she sent a great number of our photos to us within a few days of our wedding, allowing us to share the excitement of the day while it was still fresh. I can’t say enough good things about Erica. I literally turned to my fiancé on our wedding day and said, “aside from agreeing to marry you, choosing Erica was the best decision I’ve made for this wedding.” I stand by that. 10/10 I recommend working with Erica, let her blow your socks off too.

Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

We have loved working with Melinda! She has done our engagement pictures and is booked for our wedding later this year. Melinda was able to put my fiance at ease during our session and the pictures turned out great. She was also super patient with our puppy who is never good at sitting still.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley and her team were so amazing to work with on November 2, 2024. This was our first collaboration as wedding planner and photographer. She and her team worked really hard to make sure my clients needs were met even when a rain storm was in our location. Thank you so much for your flexibility and for understanding my timeline, she even had sneak peek photos in my inbox that following Monday talk about a quick turnaround!
