Kristi was so great and allowed us to have a stress-free vacation! Because of her recommendations and guidance, we were able to bypass a very long immigration line at the airport. She also recommended a friendly and reliable driver who told us about the island and showed us spots that the tourist buses don't go. She was always available during our whole trip if we had questions or needed suggestions. I will never book another trip without her!

My husband and I could not be more thrilled with the quality of service we received from Tyler and the Encounter Productions team. We hired them for our wedding videography and they didn’t miss a beat! They were prompt to arrive, stayed the entire 10 hour day (mind you, no extra charge for the entire day) and were also just good company! They made us feel comfortable being filmed and left no detail behind. We initially just opted for a short wedding highlight film then decided about 2 weeks after our wedding to add the archival edit which we just received and are absolutely obsessed! I never knew videography was so important until I worked with this amazing team. If you’re needing a great wedding videography team, look no further!!

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.

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!

Well the name of their business pretty much sums it up, we were SO impressed and our guests were also impressed! Michael Hastings, the owner, was in consistent communication and so accommodating all throughout the planning process. He made it effortlessly easy to plan for our wedding and answered my (many) questions, basically immediately upon emailing. Our bartenders, Jordan Gwaltney and Michael Bradley, were WONDERFUL! Seriously, so kind, accommodating for our guests, social, friendly and smart (we had a few tipsy guests getting water shots without knowing lol!) If you're contemplating who to book for any event really, look no further because they are amazing, start to finish! Wish I could attach a photo because they even snuck away to take a pic at our photobooth and its awesome. Thank you all for making our wedding great!

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

Loved working with Tia! She was sweet, communicative, and professional. We only have our sneak peaks so far but we’re in love! She was also super flexible and easy to work with and I really loved that.

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.

A destination wedding and elopement photographer based out of Nashville, Tennessee. I grew up an Army brat, and now I am an Army wife traveling the world with my husband and son.

I love knowing every image I take holds lasting memories. ​ I combine my love of candid photography with a romantic, elegant, and timeless edit. I can't wait to learn more about your love story and get to know you! xo Caitlin Elizabeth

Caitlin was absolutely amazing! She truly captured all of our special moments that we will never forget! She made us feel so comfortable and was such a pleasure to work with!

Emily Cloutier Photography

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.

Hey there! We’re Sam and Nick, the photographers behind Anorda Photography and we’re so pumped you’re here. We’re full-time Asheville wedding photographers who have called the Southeast home our whole lives. And while our roots are strong in Georgia and North Carolina, we’ve worked all over the US. So whatever landscape is calling your name for your wedding day, you can count us in! We’re excited you’re here!

Hiring Sam (Anorda Photography) to be our photographer for our wedding was the single best decision we made. Her style is authentic, genuine, and true to what we actually experienced on our wedding day. She is able to find the best moments without knowing she is even photographing. Her work and style is incredible. She made me feel comfortable the entire day and kept timelines in order. She honored all our crazy family photo requests and was able to handle the crowd. We loved working with Sam and highly recommend anyone to hire her for your photography needs!!

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.

Hi! I’m the “Eric” part of Eric Donahue Photography. I am a father to three amazing and talented young adults (you may see them on the website or on the walls of our studio). I have a beautiful wife that is my partner and second set of eyes when I need them. Finally, I’m remarkably lucky to make a living doing what I truly love. Photography is my passion. Photos and images last for a very long time, maybe forever. I strive to make sure the images you share with the world make you look your absolute BEST. Let’s get started. What in the world are you waiting for?

Eric is AMAZING at what he does. When we hired him we were at a loss on photographers for our big day because of COVID. Once we went through everything, he told me that we were doing a bridal shoot before the wedding and I was SO nervous. But once I stepped into the studio Eric made me feel like an absolute queen. He let me pick my favorite picture to have on a canvas displayed at my reception and his work is absolutely stunning. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my big day and all of the incredible pictures he took bring me back to those moments every time. His talent is truly unmatched and he is the easiest and funniest person to work with. We would choose him time and time again!
