  • Serves Wilmington, NC

I've been a wedding and elopement photographer for 12+ years. My journey has connected me with the most amazing humans, and I've been honored to tell their stories through photography. My journey started as an apprecenticeship at a small darkroom photography school, which led to gallery shows, and eventually to documenting important moments in the lives of people. I found love stories to be especially impactful because, who doesn't love love right?!

Amy is such a talented photographer! She took the most gorgeous photos of my husband and I at our engagement shoot, elopement ceremony, and reception. She also sent us the photos very quickly so we didn’t have to wait long. We are having a hard time picking which photos to have printed because they are all so beautiful.

Congratulations!! What an exciting time in your life! I am truly honored that you have taken then time to consider me as your wedding photographer. Here's some fun facts about me... I am obsessed with sunsets, pickles are my favorite food, and espresso and tequila are my favorite drinks! I'm a mom of 3 teenagers, I have photographed a living president, and I've always lived close to water, but the mountains are my favorite place! Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer, I've acted in a movie, and I've watched every Marvel movie in chronological order. My biggest bucket list item is to travel the world and photograph in other countries!

Terah was absolutely amazing! She truly exceeded our expectations. She came fully prepared with a shot list and easily worked around some hiccups we had along the way. Our teaser photos turned out amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest. I cannot recommend her enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
First, my mom failed to read our contract correctly and had the whole family up at sunrise for a shoot instead of 6:45pm. Among the large family group were our twins who would’ve been an absolute nightmare had we stuck with the original time slot we agreed to. The photographer was so kind and flexible and showed up the next morning on short notice to accommodate our group. Not only does my mom hate having her photo taken, our family pet has been sick with cancer for some time now and they did such a wonderful job capturing all of the love and joy surrounding my mom and our beloved pet. Last, my wife and I are a same-sex couple and not all photographers have been the most comfortable to work with in the past. This team is professional and friendly and treated our little family and marriage the same as she did my sisters by offering to take romantic pictures and recognizing our relationship appropriately. It really is the small things that matter and I can’t recommend this team enough.

Hi, I’m Heather! (that's me on the left) I'm a wedding photographer with a deep passion for capturing the genuine moments and raw emotions that make each wedding day so special. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling through photography, and over the years, I’ve developed a style that combines artistry with authenticity. My goal is to not just take pictures, but to tell the unique love story of each couple I work with, from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate details. My husband is a wedding videographer. So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

From the moment we first reached out to HEARTS in FOCUS, we were impressed by their great communication. They were quick to respond to our inquiries and very helpful in answering all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, the HEARTS in FOCUS team was professional, efficient, and discreet, capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. The final photos were absolutely stunning and we felt we received great value for the cost of their services. As an LGBTQ couple, we were grateful to work with a vendor who was inclusive and celebrated our love. We highly recommend HEARTS in FOCUS to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Hey there- I'm Joanna, but feel free to call me Jo! My world has always been filled with photography- through all the years and different cameras, it's always been my biggest passion and love. I am a travel enthusiast and I will always be down to hike up a mountain or explore a new city. My favorite meals are anything that include coffee or sushi and I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as "too much chocolate." Most importantly, I am a lover of all love and will never get tired of documenting it.

My husband and I decided to elope to NYC from Scotland in 2022. Jo linked us to her Instagram profile following a post on a Facebook group and we instantly fell in love with her whole vibe. Her work stunning. We set up a video call to discuss what we wanted from the photos from our special day - Jo just got it and got us almost instantly. She knew NYC and where to get our pictures done but also allowed us to collaborate and explore on the day. Jo is passionate about her profession and passionate about giving you the best possible experience, flowing with love and positivity throughout. It’s super relaxed and fun. I wish she lived closer - she would absolutely be our go to for all our big life events! We wish we had been able to get Jo to do some of her film shots as well as they are absolutely STUNNING! She was able to get our sneak peak pictures to us quickly and wanted to absolutely nail it for the rest of the gallery and boy did she nail it. We genuinely could not imagine our wedding day without her capturing it for us 3

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, fresh ground coffee beans, flannel + fall, and going on adrenaline based adventures. I'm like a best friend with a camera, or the guest you didnt invite but glad I showed up. You'll feel completely comfortable and natural throughout the wedding day. No stress, no pressure.

Awarded Best of Zola
Michael Freas is the best photographer we could've possibly chosen. He is easy going and yet also professional at the same time. If you are looking for some quality photos where the color pops and stands out, along with some fun candid photos, you found the right person! As soon as he pulled up to our venue he saw some flowers which were off to the side and knew immediately he would bring us over to the field where the flowers were. None of our guests even saw the field of flowers, he just has an eye for this stuff and knows how to control a camera phenomenally! We loved working with him!

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.
