Our family gathered in North Carolina and wanted to do a family photo session while we were there. My daughter found Bella Lumiere Photography online. We were extremely satisfied with the time and attention given to our family during our session. Our photographer even suggested a change in session dates due to weather conditions and that made all the difference! The photos are stunning! We highly recommend Bella Lumiere Photography, and will definitely contact them again in the future!

Have Some Patience Photography

  • Serves Waynesville, NC

Hi! I’m Patience! Thank you for checking out my portfolio! I am a destination photographer specializing in weddings and life events. I’m originally from Africa and a hopeless romantic who loves love. I am here to help you turn your vision into reality the way you want it no matter where it takes place.

If you’re looking for someone who will get the job done and go above and beyond, Patty is the one. She has a keen eye for detail and not to mention, her editing is close to true to color and is not over saturated. I absolutely love light and airy. I hired Patty because her photos were amazing! Can I say magazine worthy? Not only that, I have a tan complexion and my husband is white, I needed someone who could capture and edit both our skin tones the right way, which I feel like is hard for a lot of photographers. I’m so happy I didn’t turn out look orange or yellow. She definitely has a diverse portfolio which drew me in. Also, as a seasoned wedding professional myself, I can say Patty is very dedicated to making sure you get everything you asked for. She executes seamlessly, no doubt! Not to mention she’s so fun to be around, which is a bonus!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with a few photographers as a couple before meeting Sam. To tell you that she changed my perspective on pictures (as a man) is not telling you enough. We love working with her and she always makes it a joy. She makes our sessions fun and energetic and we won’t be working with anyone else in the future.

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!

I really appreciated that they had awesome locations picked out for us to be photographed and had great poses in mind! This made everything very stress free and ultimately made beautiful photos!

Courtney Hathaway Photography

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.

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

Photography has always been a part of my life in some shape or form. As a young girl, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a photographer. I wasn't sure what kind I would be or how I would get there, but here I am as a wedding and elopement photographer. I value serving my couples first, and creating stunning images second. Capturing your unique love story is so important to me. In every session, I want you guys to fall in love all over again. My goal that you leave your session with a smile on your face and a heart overflowing with joy. It is always a pleasure to serve couples in love!

Looking for a photographer who not only takes great pictures but is also professional, easy to work with, and able to capture the essence of your wedding day? LOOK NO FURTHER. You have found her ! When I saw Catherine's work on Instagram I knew her style captured everything I wanted. When it came time for my now husband to pop the question, I wrote down Catherine's information as my top photographer choice. She then captured the biggest "yes" of my life, and I KNEW I needed her on my wedding day to continue the vision. The entire time up until the wedding, Catherine communicated with me and made sure she knew the vision I had for my wedding day. Behind the lens, on our wedding day, she was constantly encouraging us and managed to have ALL of the family photos flow seamlessly. Within the next few days, I was getting photos back and in just a month my whole album was ready! Talk about a quick turnaround!! We cannot recommend Catherine enough, and we hope she gets the opportunity to capture the memories of your day so you can have thee most beautiful photos of a lifetime hanging in your home.

Hey there – we're glad you're here. We're a husband-and-wife wedding and portrait photography duo based in Chapel Hill, NC. We photograph weddings in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area and all over the Southeast.

Indie Bird Photo is the greatest of all time- I cannot recommend them highly enough! Above all else, Nate and Emma are both genuinely great people who are an absolute joy to be around on your wedding day (and otherwise.) They photographed our engagement session, our wedding, and even joined us for our rehearsal dinner- and each time, it felt like working with our friends. Most importantly, their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. They are both extremely talented, experienced, and they captured our wedding in the most beautifully authentic way. They brought my dream of candid/documentary style/old school film/black and white photos to life with such ease. Nate sent us a sneak peak gallery within 24 hours of our wedding- which legitimately moved me to tears. I was blown away by the way that Nate and Emma shared all of our joy and excitement and documented it all in the most beautifully artistic photos. It was so meaningful to be able to see (and share!) our photos that quickly. Our families/friends/other vendors/my coworkers, etc. cannot stop gushing about how beautiful the photos are- and we've only seen a few! Our wedding day would not have been the same without them, and I cannot thank them enough.

One thing I have heard many of my clients say is that I made them feel comfortable and relaxed during their wedding or session. It really makes sense because I enjoy what I do so much so that I usually have a "blast" with my clients. Being comfortable is essential to getting great shots, and I strive to be myself and let clients be themselves as well! I realize that I'm not the photographer for everyone, and that's one reason I spend time getting to know my potential clients to find out what they want and need in their images. It really is important to me that we have a great professional connection. I love documenting life as it happens!

James has been our go-to photographer for 11 years, and he's photographed several of my friends weddings. His style and eye for a great shot is outstanding. We're excited to have him photograph our wedding this next year!

I am so very honored that you are considering me to be apart of your speical day. Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your wedding. This is your Day the day you have been dreaming about your entire life. Thats why I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and maybe, someone who eventually becomes a friend.

I have worked several weddings with Shannon though out the years. She is very professional and has such a passion for her craftsmanship. I would highly recommend Shannon to be apart in documenting your big day!

We're Brittani and Steven. A husband and wife wedding team serving Knoxville and Destination events. Steven is our main videographer and joke teller while Brittani handles all things photography and planning. We love hanging out with our couples and getting to know you at your engagement session or over a cup of coffee. Our hope is that when we show up on your wedding day, we already feel like trusted friends - We are here to support you every step of the way while capturing all the magic that your day brings!

There aren't enough good things I can say about working with Brittani and Steven (and Katie, our second shooter) on my wedding day. What a dynamic duo (trio)! Let me start by expressing appreciation that Brittani Sloan Photography made it a financially viable option to include videography into our wedding package. If you’re like us and are on the fence about this, don’t be! Looking back at the stunning photos and videos of our wedding day - we couldn't be more thrilled with the decision we made to include this and book these guys as vendors. Thanks to Brittani and Steven, we have hundreds of gorgeous photos of our special day and footage of all our friends and family's speeches, dances, and most cherished moments preserved on film forever. They were so quick on the turnaround time and provided all the photos/videos in an organized, online gallery that made sharing with guests a breeze. Brittani and the team brought such a positive, calm presence to the day that helped keep everyone at ease even while adhering to a strict timeline. While I’m sure they were running around all day in order to capture everything - they somehow managed to blend in seamlessly and never distracted from the organic moments happening around them. In addition to capturing great candids, Brittani and team were also able to help us pose when needed without it ever feeling forced or awkward. They communicated clearly and exuded professionalism and warmth the entire day. I sincerely hope we get a chance to work with Brittani Sloan photography in the future. Don’t hesitate to book them for your day. You won’t regret it!

Book Cat for your wedding. You won’t regret it. My experience has been so amazing. Above and beyond what I ever expected when searching for a photographer. Our professional relationship quickly formed into a real friendship. In the months and weeks before our wedding Cat and I were chatting on Instagram almost daily (she even recommended my wedding make up)! And she was able to work with my on my budget. When she walked into my dressing room on the big day it was just like seeing any of my other friends and she fit right in! I appreciated how polite she was with my family and how she was down she was to see the (in my opinion) cool places I had picked out. I could not imagine my wedding with out her there.

We moved from Colorado to Arkansas shortly after getting engaged, and because we had already selected a wedding venue in Colorado, our plan was to hire Max for engagement photos in Arkansas only and go with a CO-based photographer for the wedding. After meeting Max and hearing his story, we knew we were going to forgo our original plan and hire him for both sets of photos. Our engagement shoot was so much fun, and my husband and I both felt comfortable the entire time (which is rare for us, we're awkward people!). We knew once we got our engagement photos back that hiring Max for our wedding was the right choice, and man did he prove us right! The second he arrived at our venue on wedding day, he fit right in and made everything feel fun instead of stressful. Our family, friends, and guests are still raving about how much they loved our photographer because he was a joy to talk with and brought such a positive energy to the event. My parents even commented that Max felt like family because he made everyone feel comfortable and truly brought out the joy in everyone while we did family photos. The photos we have received back so far are outstanding - Max has a great eye and his use of light is exactly what we wanted. We are forever grateful that he was willing to travel across the country to document our day.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

Working with Mike was an absolute dream. My partner and I are not people who feel comfortable in front of a camera. Mike completely changed that - although we had never met in person before, Mike felt like an old friend. He had the utmost patience in dealing with our wild family members before we arrived and captured every moment completely perfectly. Mike was so intentional about every shot and was incredible about getting all of the nature-inspired, detail-oriented shots that I wanted. Every time I look back at my wedding album, I'm brought to joyful tears just seeing how perfectly captured every raw emotion was. At our reception, guests couldn't stop raving about how personable and easy to work with Mike was. We had a very "free-flowing" party and Mike was able to round-up everyone and get all of our needed family and friend shots - an impossible task! My partner and I just don't have enough good things to say about the entire experience, Mike as a person, and the beautiful pictures that we ended up with. I look back on our photos and know that I will forever have memories of the moody, "Pinterest-board-inspired" wedding of my dreams!

Madison was amazing to work with!! My husband like a lot of men hates taking pictures so he made sure to jokingly complain about the bride and groom session. Madison told us she would set a timer for 15 minutes to get us in and out so we could go back to our reception. Not only did she finish before the timer went off, but the pictures were AMAZING. She also did such a great job posing us, and my husband and I are super awkward so that’s a big deal! She made sure to capture such special moments throughout the whole day. Candid photos were important to me and she got so many good ones!! She was very easy to talk to and get along with (again, I’m very awkward so big deal). 100/10 recommend!

I'm the one behind the camera that is bigger than my face. Since 2007, my mission has been to capture every precious moment, both candid & posed, without being obtrusive. Each image should take you right back to that emotion for years to come. You will spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than anyone else, so make sure whomever you choose, you have a good connection with. My goal is to spoil my clients with amazing images, of course, but also to create a calm environment by having a positive attitude & servant spirit.

Shanell was our photographer for our fall wedding! It was absolutely beautiful and she did a perfect job capturing every moment of that day! We loved working with her and enjoyed all the meetings we had because we just love being around her! Because of COVID, we had to change our wedding date and she was easy to communicate with and ended up calming me down when I would panic! :) She had this little dance she did when she would get ready to take pictures that added to the fun of the day! Everyone commented on her making all the photos a breeze and a joy to do! I also went and did a boudoir shoot with her for a Christmas gift for my husband. HIGHLY recommend adding that to your must-haves, brides!! It was so incredibly empowering and SO much fun! Embrace your curves and EVERY perfect imperfection that makes you unique! We are SO grateful for all of Shanell's hard work, professionalism, and awesome attitude! We adore every single photo she has captured for us and have loved every minute we've gotten to spend with her!

Hiya! I'm Courtney! I'm not your average photographer. I'm something so much more than that. From the moment you step out of your car and greet me to the moment you get back in your car and drive home, I'm there with you cheering you on, telling you how GORGEOUS you look, and making all those weird cute baby noises at your little one. I'm the one who stays up all night to make sure you get those images just in time to send out Christmas cards.

Courtney has been my husband and i’s photographer since we got engaged, eloped and finally had our wedding- and was in our wedding! Being able to watch her grow and transcend has been such an amazing thing. She always goes above and beyond to make our photoshoots, and photos themselves amazing. I can not recommend someone better to capture all your magical moments and milestones.

When I shoot photography, it’s not about composing the perfect pictures or getting a great shot. Yes, those things are essential. But, to me, photography is so much more. It’s about capturing a moment in time that you will forever be able to look back on and feel something magical.

Emily was such a pleasure to have be a part of our day! She was very professional through the entire process and made sure she knew exactly what we were looking for and expecting. We received a few teasers within 24 hours after the wedding that we could share with friends and family and received the entire package in a very timely manner! All of the ceremony shots were so intimate, the traditional shots turned out perfect and all of our couple shots were so elegant and very creative! Emily did a great job taking our vision and making it come to life! We will be showing off our wedding photos the rest of our lives and we are so glad we put our trust in Emily to make them everything we dreamed!
