Dustin Finkelstein Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Waynesville, NC

My name is Dustin Finkelstein. I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to turn my passion into my career. I love picking up my camera everyday and never knowing what the world is going to bring my way. With over 20 years of photography experience, I want to approach every wedding in a fresh way that reflects the unique aspects of the couple’s relationship and individual personalities. I try to naturally capture who my couples are with an artistic flare; letting the real moments they share during their wedding and engagements shine. That way, when they look at their photos years down the line it’ll be like it was just yesterday.

Dustin is an absolute dream to work with! He was BY FAR the most professional and responsive wedding vendor we experienced in our entire planning process. We had to reschedule our engagement shoot (due to COVID restrictions), and Dustin went above and beyond to pull some strings to make it all come together for us. On the actual day of the shoot, I was really nervous about looking nice and coming up with unique ideas to make the photos look special. It is so much pressure! Dustin immediately put my mind at ease, asked a few questions, and knew exactly what we were looking for. He proceeded to take the lead and capture the most beautiful, creative photos of us. They came out better than we could have ever imagined!! So grateful to Dustin for this wonderful, stress-free experience and gorgeous memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

From the moment we first spoke with Crisandra from Take Time Photography, we knew we had found the perfect photographers for our wedding day. Her communication was always effective, timely, and considerate, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Crisandra's joyful and "hyped up" energy was infectious and made the experience truly fun. The photos she captured were beyond our wildest dreams - natural, beautiful, and full of the little details that made our day so special. Crisandra made me feel like the absolute most beautiful bride, and her creative poses allowed us both to feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Having done our engagement shoot with her beforehand gave us a great sense of what to expect, and the final results exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful to Crisandra and Take Time Photography for helping to make our wedding day everything we could have hoped for and more!

I am a Chattanooga, TN-based videographer and photographer! My vision is meant not only to tell your story but also to make you feel like you're watching a movie or short film! I have Netflix-grade gear and a passion for filmmaking!

Tristen was truly amazing during our entire wedding process. He is quick and easy to communicate with, and was so professional and easy to be around on our wedding day. I almost didn't book a videographer, but I am SO glad I did. I can't imagine not having Tristen's work to look back on and remember our day. He captured it in such a special way that we will treasure forever! We also purchased a video book as part of our package. With DVD and VHS players being so sparce these days, it was important for us to have a way for our kids (and us) to easily access the video to rewatch in years to come. We received our videos and video book very quickly, I was so impressed! The book was such a great and inexpensive addition to the package. You will not regret booking T. Haley Media!!

Danielle Christine Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Waynesville, NC

These aren't just photos. These are stories. They're your story. My approach is natural. I don't force moments, but I do know when to help direct. I want you to feel comfortable enough to come as you are, and let me capture the true essence of "you", because that is what matters the most. I am a natural light wedding photographer, which means I use solely the natural light outside or inside a building. I know what types of light situations are best, and I know how to combat the ones that are out of our control. I think natural light brings out the creamy tones to skin, makes your eyes sparkle, and makes for an organic photo.

Awarded Best of Zola
Honestly, Danielle's stunning work speaks for itself. I have worked for with personally and professionally, and Danielle is absolutely fantastic. She quickly puts her clients at ease and her excitement and enthusiasm makes photos painless and so enjoyable and she consistently delivers beautiful work to her clients. Danielle goes above and beyond to deliver the very best to her clients. I highly recommend Danielle, you won’t be disappointed!

  • Serves Waynesville, NC

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Maria is the best photographer I have had the privilege to work with. From before/during/after our wedding she made every step special and magical. Our family and bridal party LOVED her and the humor/fun personality she brought to group photos. We love Maria and cannot wait to work with her in the future.

Wild Elegance

  • Classic style

  • Serves Waynesville, NC

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

You'll find my editing style is vibrant & natural - I believe in capturing God's beauty in creation. I love getting to meet people and hope I get to work with you!

The pictures gave all the mood, energy, and timelessness we were wanting for our wedding photos. The poses, perspectives, and angles tell such a sweet story of our special day. I am not super comfortable in front of a camera, but I was very comfortable with Chris and his assistant Kelsey. I love looking at my pictures! Not only did he do top-notch work, he also gave us all the support we needed throughout the process. He gave us recommendations for other vendors, gave us a wedding day timeline, and was truly the calm but excited presence I needed on such a stressful day. He made my day so special. We cannot thank Chris enough for all that he did for us for many months!

I am a published photographer located in the beautiful state of Tennessee. I am a mama to two fascinating, wild little girls and I have a passion for running around, breathing in life. Photography has been a life long passion of mine; I can remember being a small child running around with disposable cameras trying to capture everything in site. Now, as an adult, photography is my way of making permanent what I, and others, hold close. I love tattoos, am romance book obsessed (honestly this career could not have been better picked) and hope to one day go sky diving! Now that you know a bit about me, I can't wait to learn about you!

From the moment we booked Beautiful Images by Toni, their communication was fast, helpful, and responsive. Toni's unique, creative, and fun style captured the excitement of our special day perfectly. She was there to help wherever she could, making everything feel seamless and just right. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

Serving East Tennessee and the surrounding areas, she is also available for travel worldwide.

Everything about working with Madison was perfect. When I was looking for photographers, her photos stuck out to me because of the way she uses lighting and filters to create a mood. Even knowing that, her photos of our wedding exceeded my expectations. Our courthouse wedding was on a 20 degree, gray day during the first snow of the winter. Madison found so many great spots downtown to capture the essence of our moody, winter elopement and she was an absolute joy to work with. Neither my partner or I have had professional photos taken, so we weren’t really sure what to expect, but she took the lead and made us feel confident so we could focus on enjoying the moment with each other while she directed the shoot. I would highly recommend her for her stunning photography (obviously) and also for a fun & professional photographer who knows her craft.

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
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun! My job doesn't stop at creating timeless photos for you, it extends to offering you a sense of peace and showing you that a wedding/elopement day doesn't have to be stressful. Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Kalypso on our team as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband is historically not the best at genuine looking forced smiles, yet our wedding pictures all turned out so well! Yes, he was very happy on our wedding day, but in the moment when you tell him to pose, it usually doesn't go so well. Kalypso has all sort of tricks up her sleeve to fix this, and she is such a joyous ball of energy that she has us legitimately laughing and smiling the entire time anyways. She was so easy to coordinate with, and her communication and promptness are on point. On to the most important part though - the pictures! They are AMAZING!! They perfectly capture the best day of our lives and work in all the little details so well. We are having a hard time figuring out what to frame where in our house - there are that many PERFECT pictures. It was Kalypso's first day shooting a wedding at our specific venue, and you would would think it was her own house based on how well she captured it all and worked so well in the space. I will certainly be trying to work with her for future life photoshoots and recommending her to all my friends!

The video presentation made our friends and family cried in which resonates how genuine, magical and heartfelt emotions put into it which we would treasure forever.

Hi friend! Let me introduce myself - I'm Samantha Jade. My goal as your wedding photographer is to guide you throughout your wedding day in a way that puts you at ease, allowing me to capture your day as authentically and artistically as possible. As a hybrid photographer (both film and digital), I take a different approach to capturing your memories. By taking a step back, I am able to capture your day with so much intention - noticing all the small and "in between" moments that so often get missed.

We had our first session with Freckled Feather during our engagement. We fell in love with her outgoing personality and her enthusiasm! She kept us laughing the whole session! We have booked her two more times since then. She took my college graduation pictures and our wedding pictures. She is a pleasure to work with. She edits and sends your gallery back in such a timely manner. Her communication is top notch. If she has an idea for your session roll with it she will never let you down ! Can’t wait for my next session with Sam !

I am a natural light photographer. Moved here to Florida 5 years ago from Illinois. I am a wife and a mother of 3 wonderful boys. Located in Freeport ,Florida but I serve from the Emerald Coast from Fort Walton Beach to Panama City Beach and surrounding areas. I am starting to get into more travel with my photography and will also travel to destinations. I photograph from families, couples to Senior's along with weddings and elopements. Looking forward to another great Year and meeting new families!

Sweet Sunkissed Photography was an amazing choice for our wedding day! Kim had great communication with us throughout the entire process and was a true professional. The quality of her work was absolutely stunning - the photos she captured truly brought our special day to life. Kim worked tirelessly to get every shot we wanted, running all over the venue to make sure she didn't miss a moment. She was so kind, fun, and kept us on track the entire day, which was especially helpful given the layout of our venue. Kim was a breath of fresh air compared to some other photographers we had met, as she was never pushy and always remained cool, calm, and collected. We knew our photos were going to be incredible even before she delivered them, and they exceeded all of our expectations. We highly recommend Sweet Sunkissed Photography for any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience!

Born & raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I've been capturing love stories for over 15 years. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 10 years, and raising our two sweet boys on this little sandbar we call home is a dream come true. While we are based on the OBX, we happily serve couples on the Outer Banks and Beyond, and enjoy spending the winter months in Costa Rica.

If you need a photographer, Courtney Hathaway is the one to hire! Fun, caring and talented are just a few words to begin with. My husband and I are both camera shy and from day 1 of shooting our engagement, Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.

Along with being the owner of Larsen Wedding Photography and the man behind the camera lens for your wedding, I am also a husband, a father of four, and a USMC Veteran. I live off caffeine (Did I mention I have four kids?) and Sour Patch Kids, which means there is a good chance I will show up to your wedding with a Redbull in hand! My path into photography started when my wife brought me along as her second shooter and has grown into me taking over photographing weddings with her, occasionally, second shooting for me.

The only words to describe Jeff is a lifesaver. In our choosing process there was never any other competition and his work definitely showed it! He got us back a sneak peek the same night and the pictures were just STUNNING! I owe my life to Jeff. The only thing that mattered to us at the end of the day were our pictures and he hit it out of the park! Very professional and makes the process so much easier!

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

Preserving your love story for you to relive over and over again! Life's moments, in all their forms, are worth capturing. Whether it's a grand wedding, running through the field with the love of your life, or the simple joys of everyday life like baking in the kitchen, I find joy in photographing it all. Your life is photogenic because it's your story-and that makes it beautiful. It doesn't have to be perfect to be documented.
