Hello! I'm Kim and I am so happy you have found me here on Zola! Congratulations on your Engagement and upcoming Wedding! I would love to hear from you and learn about your love story and vision for your wedding day. I have over 12 years of dedicated, committed exceptional service and high end quality images, and am an award winning artist and photographer. I would be honored to get to know you and create beautiful, tangible memories of your wedding day, for you to cherish forever.

I'm a fine art destination wedding photographer; intensely passionate about preserving those fleeting moments, intimate details and loved ones throughout a wedding that make the day unforgettable. I believe there is a delicate balance between letting the day unfold while supporting you through the process to create a lovely collection of meaningful keepsakes. I married my now business partner and best friend of twelve years on a warm summer evening in August beneath two immense magnolia trees. We currently spend our time between an old farmhouse in the heart of wine and hunt country and Lake Norman with our dog Endo, two cats and two horses.

My goal is to capture every part of your story. The parts you planned for so long, the parts that didn’t go exactly as planned, and the parts that will make you laugh and cry with joy when you look back years later. I want them all, because I would want nothing less for myself, and because this part of your life, even if it isn’t exactly what you thought it would be, might be the most beautiful piece of all.

My name is Allison. I am a wedding & portrait photographer spending my time in the lovely Cleveland, Ohio. I’m a tea drinker & a documentary watcher. I’m a wife & a comfy clothes wearer. I’m an ENFJ & a lover of change. I’m an artist & a storyteller. I share my house with my handsome husband, Stephen, my sweet baby Freya, and two little kitties that we like most of the time. We've always got music playing & candles burning. I can recite most lines from any episode of Parks & Rec you throw my way, and I spend more time than I should watching funny internet videos.

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Franklinton, North Carolina (the cutest little town outside of Raleigh). I grew up in Georgia and spent the best 4 years of my life at Appalachian State University getting a degree in Commercial Photography. After I graduated, I knew I wanted to pursue photography full-time and the rest is history. I aspire to be more than a vendor on your big day. I love creating special relationships and capturing moments filled with love and excitement from the couple right after the ceremony. Every wedding is special to me and I try to make your day as stress free as possible!

With every session and wedding that I photograph, I want to capture the genuine story and vibe of the day. My clientele is a very specific type – those who recognize that if they want joyful, genuine portraits, then they need more than just pretty pictures. They need an incredible experience!

I've found a new meaning when it comes to capturing photos. It use to be capturing the perfect photo and getting a bunch of recognition on social media and getting featured on a wedding blog. It was until a few years ago that I understood the heart of it all. Every moment I capture of your wedding day, lifestyle session or Branding session is a stamped moment in your life. These moments will forever be seared in your heart. I am approaching 11 years as a Professional Wedding Photographer. I am so grateful God has allowed me to document "life" ...what a gift.

If you are looking for someone who is passionate about telling your story, you have come to the right place. Wedding days are over in a flash, but I'm here to help you remember the joy you felt in those moments. I am mother and wife. My photography journey began in college as a journalism student at UNC Chapel Hill. My first photography class lit the spark, but it was becoming a mother and moving overseas to Japan with my little family that really developed my love of travel and portrait work. It may sound cliche, but when important moments come and go, our memories and our photos are what remain.

I help couples preserve their love story through compelling photography. Your wedding day is the most important day in your life and I understand how important it is to capture all the details of your day. Your wedding day is not just another date on my calendar.

Our company was started with the goal of capturing breathtaking images and giving our clients a truly unique experience, building on a reputation of always going above and beyond for our clients. On a personal note, I’m married to the love of my life, so it’s not hard to feel the love and joy of a couple planning their special day. One of my favorite pictures to capture is the pure emotion between the bride and groom after they have said their vows. And you know what? I’m still loving every minute of this marriage journey with my wonderful wife Tiffany by my side.

My goal is to capture you as you are. Your passion and personality. I take a documentary approach to my photography- I'm less about the poses. Instead I focus on the authentic moments. I want you to look at these photos and be brought back to the feeling, the emotion of the day.

We’re here for the real: the raw, the funny, the sentimental, the chaos & the details in between. Your memories, love, and emotions are something I carry as my own during your session, thus the soulful experience, connection, detail & memories that I strive to document throughout your time with me. It’s important to have a photographer you can trust, who cares about you as if you were their own family Who is just as invested as you are in creating these memories together. It truly is an honor to cherish this season of life with you & to give you an unbelievable experience.

The whole goal with my photography business has always been making timeless art out of the fleeting moments with the people I am so fortunate to meet and share in their experiences. After 17 years I still love the emotions I get to capture and memories I capture for generations.

I'm Ashlynn. I'm a mother, wife and follower of Christ. I'm an avid gardener and love the color and beauty it brings to my corner of the world. My favorite places to visit are Charleston and Hilton Head Island where the sea breeze and Spanish moss are always sure to greet you. It's my mission to provide peace filled and luxury wedding photography to those who seek heirloom memories to last generations, so they can feel stress free and fully present on their wedding day.

I'm all about finding beauty in simplicity, and my photography style reflects that. For me, it's the slightly warm and naturally soft tones that I love most. (Sprinkled with a touch of moody vibes, of course) My journey in photography has led me down many paths, and I'm delighted to have been a part of so many beautiful memories with the most amazing people. I love genuine laughs and connections, so my goal is to capture those intimate, true-to-life moments.

I love my 3 kids, cheap wine and Mexican food. I have loved photography ever since you used to have to take a whole digital camera with you when you'd go to hang out with friends and upload 100 pictures to Facebook (Anyone over 30 knows what I'm talking about). I want to capture those images that you will cherish for a lifetime. I will fix your veil, hold your dress up while you pee, and everything in between. So let's hang out, grab coffee (hot chocolate for me), or some dinner and plan your next adventure!

I believe that romantic moments are a must, candids are awesome, dogs should be in engagement photos whenever possible! I'm not about boring poses, no communication, and a world without margaritas. My mission is to provide not just beautiful images, but an amazing experience. To not just have technically perfect pictures, but to capture the emotion and story behind every couple. I love being a wedding photographer. I've met so many amazing couples, and heard so many beautiful love stories. It's honestly so amazing to photograph a wedding after speaking and working with a couple for months and months!

I'm a wedding photographer based out of Charlotte, NC (but always happy to travel)! I have two small kids, and as cliche as it sounds- when I became a parent, I truly realized how fleeting time is.

Starting my passion of photography at the young age of ten, I fell in love with the documentary/journalistic style. When I got older, I was moved to make it into a career.

For six years now, I have had the privilege of photographing weddings and elopements of people who feel deeply and love deeply.

My name is Hannah Day and I am a photographer based in Carrboro, North Carolina. I love moments. Life is full of them and if you’re not careful, you’ll miss them. I live to capture the beauty of life, through moments. I studied Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a focus in photojournalism and multimedia. When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy hanging out with my family, teaching and practicing yoga, and being outside. I just recently became a mom to the sweetest boy, Sam. I would be honored to capture moments for you!

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.
