  • Serves Waynesville, NC

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!

Catherine was amazing and so helpful. We have absolutely loved all of our engagement pictures and the sneak peek we've seen from the wedding. She is super responsive and was even able to help me find a hair & makeup vendor! Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Catherine!

Hey there, I'm Celeste – wife, mom, goat farmer, & your go-to elopement & wedding photographer! When I'm not chasing goats or herding kids (the human kind), you'll find me exploring the great outdoors – hiking, floating in lakes, road-trippin' like there's no tomorrow. Originally from Vermont, I've been around the block (and across the country), but nothing beats the magic of the Smoky Mountains. I'm living the dream in TN, capturing love stories all over WNC and East TN. Photography isn't just a job for me; it's my heart and soul. A Pisces by nature, I'm all about creative storytelling. I'm here to make your love story epic.

Krystle Akin

  • Classic style
  • Serves Waynesville, NC

I'm most known to produce warm and soulful images that feel timeless with capturing real emotion that is true to the world I see around me. I've spent over a decade perfecting my timeless and most noted use of vibrant color photographs. Photographing intimate weddings in the hills of Tuscany; to grand beach weddings overlooking the Riviera Maya beaches of Tulum, I'm honored to have photographed weddings of every proportion.

I'm so happy i hired Krystle as our wedding photographer. We got to meet beforehand when she was in California and took our engagement photos and it was like having a friend take our photos. She was an absolute delight to work with and helped put my husband (who hates taking photos) at ease. Our photos were beautiful and were even featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and Magnolia Rouge which was an lovely surprise. If in doubt, hire her! She is such a calming presence which helps on what can be a very stressful day. Wish we could do it all over again!

James Crowley

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Waynesville, NC

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 a wedding and elopement photographer located in Wyoming county. I love to take photos of weddings and elopements. Some say I have a true passion for what I do. I have learned a lot since I started and each wedding or session I am always striving to learn more. As a business owner I am fully insured and strive to be professional at everything I do. It's my goal to be able to do this full time someday! I love being able to capture someone's day it brings me happiness. I'm a pretty laid back go with the flow type of person. I do my absolute best to provide you with photos you'll remember forever.

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Tabatha was more than willing to help with any wedding issues I had. She captured so many amazing photos. I’m so thankful we chose her for our big day. Because of her, our wedding was captured in beautiful photos to be reminded of our gorgeous day.

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!

I'm Justin, a Tennessee based documentary and editorial style wedding photographer focused on capturing elegant and candid real-life moments. I've had the pleasure of photographing the stories of modern couples, both close to home in Tennessee and during my travels across the country, stretching all the way to Oregon and Alaska.

With a warm and lively approach, my intention is to honor each couple in a manner that reflects their individuality, personal style, and uniqueness.

Justin's photographs from a May 2021 wedding at Piedmont Park Tavern are consistently my most referenced wedding in my floral portfolio. He did such a great job capturing my floral work and using the light to reflect the mood and essence of that day. He is on my preferred vendor list and I have no hesitation recommending him to my clients that are searching for an engagement or wedding photographer.

Max Grubb Weddings

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Waynesville, NC

I walk through my life with an eye for light, stories, and emotion. I have been photographing weddings for just shy of a decade now and can say that the people, places, and stories I have witnessed have shaped me. The friends I have made along the way I continually try to invest in them and their families. I am excited that you are here and that you are interested in having me join this journey with you. If you are fired up for your wedding day, love life a little too much, and think we could be friends go ahead and send an inquiry. Let me tell your story in an intimate way that reflects who you both are together.

Max is phenomenal, not only as a photographer but as a human as well! 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.

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.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

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!

  • Serves Waynesville, NC

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.

If anyone is looking for a photographer, pick Shanell and you won’t be disappointed! We hired Shanell for our wedding in Pigeon Forge, TN on December 4th, 2020. She was available from the beginning to answer any questions that would come up and was great with communication throughout the whole process. The day of our wedding, it rained all day. I thought for sure that pictures would be limited by the weather, but Shanell thought otherwise. Her and her second photographer, Danielle, were troopers and took some amazing photos of us in the rain. It was pretty darn cold, everything was soaked, and yet they were able to capture pictures that I will cherish forever! She made the experience so fun and made us forget about the weather conditions. Besides being willing to take pictures in the rain, Shanell does an awesome job at paying attention to the small details. The wedding album and even the USB drive we received were personalized with special touches that made them feel so special. Shanell is so great to work with and will do a fantastic job at capturing memories for any occasion. I highly recommend Shanell as a photographer and will definitely be making a road trip in the future to see her again for more pictures!

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 has taken pictures for us on multiple occasions including our wedding, family pictures, and professional pictures for our business. And there’s a reason we keep coming back! What we love most is that Emily brings life to our pictures. They’re not just portraits, she captures the energy of the moment and expresses our life through her photographs. Whether it’s an important moment in our lives we wish to remember or, as with our professional portraits, a representation of us to show the world, she brings out who we are rather that just making an image of us.

I'm a creative minded, outgoing and silly girl. I'll join you on the dance floor during your wedding reception, but you can also find me crying behind my camera lens as you say your I Do's. I'm a photographer who just loves love. I graduated from Western Carolina University with my Bachelors in Science in Communications, focused in Public Relations and minoring in Marketing. My boyfriend and I, Dylan, met while we were both students at Western Carolina and he's been one of the reasons why I finally took the leap to become my own boss -- in a pandemic, nonetheless!

Mazzucco Photography was a true blessing to work with at this wedding. Her communication was quick and responsive, which was especially helpful when a previous photographer had to cancel last minute. The quality of their work was fantastic, with an incredible attention to detail and capturing the genuine emotions of day. Mary was wonderful to collaborate with, adapting seamlessly to the changes and challenges we faced (thanks, COVID!). To top it off, she even texted to ask if we wanted coffee on her way to the venue - it was her birthday, but she was thinking of us! Mazzucco Photography's beautiful, artistic photography is a true gift, and anyone would be lucky to have them capture their wedding day.

I’m Tuuba*, an artist, adventurer, explorer, mother, educator, wife and much more. I have an MFA from Boston University in visual arts. Photography has been more than a hobby for me. Throughout my life and education, I have often used photography as a medium to explore my artistic endeavors. *pronounced “Too-baa”

We loved working with Tugba so much! From the moment I (the bride) met her I knew that I wanted to work with her for our wedding, and we are so glad that we did; she was very professional (responsive to communications, patient with the number of questions we had) and accommodating throughout the entire three years that we worked with her as we had to reschedule our wedding TWICE! Tugba has such a wonderful eye and is very experienced; she captured all the key moments that we indicated we wanted captured, and took other photos we didn't even know that we wanted but are so glad that we have. Also, neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Tugba directed us into the best lighting and poses to make sure we looked our best. She and her second photographer were as unobtrusive as possible throughout the event, while still managing to capture some really amazing candid shots that we are going to cherish as much as the posed ones. We do not have the words to express how much we love our wedding photos -- they are gorgeous and every time we look at them we are able to relive our magical day. We would highly recommend Tugba for your photography needs.

Are you looking for a photographer that feels more like a friend? One that makes you comfortable when posing and documents natural laughs? Oh hey! You found me! What is my style? I'm a candid and VIBRANT photographer. How would my friends describe me? Bubbly, loyal, and hilarious. Okay, maybe they don't tell me I'm hilarious but I laugh at my own jokes.

Strongly recommend working with Kaitlyn for your wedding photos-- we are so pleased with how the photos from our wedding turned out. I don't know how, but Kaitlyn captured just about every moment to a "t". Even reviewing our photos, we caught so many moments we missed the day of. So grateful we had such a professional and well-equipped photog in our corner on our special day-- it allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves, and I'm *SO* glad we put our faith in her. One note-- when working with Kaitlyn, she'll ask you to fill out a survey before your event. I'm so glad she did, because it got us thinking about what our priorities were before our wedding day, and every single photo we could've wanted or asked for is there! She even managed to corral our very camera-shy dog.

She was able to guide us into choosing the most epic location, connect us with incredible vendors, and put us at complete ease. We’re super laid back and she made everything so easy and chill. We were taken care of through the entire experience. We we’re nervous about exploring somewhere new, but Des knows her stuff and was able to navigate us through the location scouting process seamlessly. The day of felt nothing like a photo session and more like hanging out with a really cool friend that gave you as much space as you needed to be vulnerable with your partner, while also keeping the hype up. She had such an incredible pulse on our needs. We were nervous about looking awkward or feeling camera-shy, but she knew exactly what to say to help up feel comfortable. There was no awkward posing or forced emotion, just really subtle prompting that helped you ease into each moment. The entire day was amazing and none of it would have happened without her skill and guidance. We felt like we could trust her to keep us present in the most important moments. We cried when we got our images, they were absolutely breathtaking and 1000% us. We loved being able to share this day through these images with all of our friends and family that weren’t there. They were able to laugh and cry with us. Getting your gallery from Des is like getting to relive your favorite day all over again. She is an absolute gem that impacted our lives in such a positive way. We had no idea how gorgeous Montana was until Des blew our minds with all of the incredible knowledge that she has. If you’re curious about how amazing eloping can be, she’s the girl to talk to. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Hi, I’m Shelby, a wedding & elopement photographer with a love for travel and a sparkly, lively personality. I’ve had the privilege of working with couples across various destinations, bringing my energy and passion to every celebration. Raised in New Orleans, and now based out of Alabama, I service multiple southern regions. I believe in creating a genuine connection with my couples, making them feel relaxed, heard, and truly seen on their big day. Weddings & Elopements can be chaotic, but I’m here to guide you through every moment—from the first look to the final dance—capturing all the love, joy, and raw emotion in between.

Hiring Shelby was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! Not only did she fly 3 hours to be at our family's home, she came ready to roll. We had a small backyard wedding, and the space was intimate, and full of love. We felt so comfortable with Shelby, like we had an old friend documenting our day. Our family and friends also felt the same. Shelby made everyone feel seen and celebrated, creating a space where love was the only thing that mattered. She even handled a little family drama like a CHAMP. Every photo she took told a part of our story and we’ll cherish them forever. If you want someone who brings energy, creativity, and so much heart to your big day, look no further. Shelby made our intimate backyard wedding feel like something extraordinary. We love her!

My name is Dianai. I am passionate about telling your story and driven by the love that you and your partner share. I am all about those in between moments that make your relationship unique. The way you make each other laugh and smile is the reason I do this!!

I was looking for an wedding photographer who would take natural looking photos and didn't want to charge us an insane amount of money (ya'll I know its an important day but come on...). She easy to get along with and rolled with the chaos that almost always happens at weddings. Dianai Photographs captured our wedding and we received images that didn't feel over styled or heavily photoshopped. As a couple, we wanted a relaxed, candid look of our special day and we received just that!
