Carissa Rogers Photography, LLC 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

Hi, I'm Carissa Rogers. I am a professional wedding and portrait photographer, transplanted to the beautiful Carolinas. I'm here to capture ALLLL the magic! I'm an unapologetic people person! I shoot with 2 Nikon Mirrorless cameras and my camera never met a stranger! I'm a mother of 3 adventurous adult kids, married to my best friend for nearly 30 years and I've lived in 3 of the 4 corners of the United States! I drink too much Diet Mountain Dew, I'm a sucker for photos of HUGE family groups at weddings and capturing the perfect 'veil shot' is my dream wedding day moment.

I cannot recommend her enough. She went above and beyond, and our wedding photos are AMAZING! When booking a photographer, I think the most important thing is that you like their style of photography and editing, so I looked at a lot of galleries for a lot of different photographers, and finally found Carissa- her photos are just beautiful! Then, if you find a style you like, the next step is making sure the photographer is someone you want to work with, and that’s where I come in with this stellar review- you want to work with Carissa!! She provided so much expertise and helpful advice and made sure we got every shot we wanted. She has so many fun ideas and wanted to incorporate our personalities and hobbies, so we did our engagement shoot on paddleboards on a beautiful lake! She is great with communication and walked me through a detailed timeline leading up to our day, and she was very flexible and open to suggestions and ideas. Very reasonably priced, and her package includes an engagement shoot, bridal shoot, and the wedding day! She was very fast with editing and gave us a ton of photos for a “sneak peak” before the entire album was ready. We love Carissa and will 1000% book her again for future pregnancy/new born/family shoots.

Julianna Jade Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

Hi, I’m Julianna, a photographer with a passion for moments that matter most. With over 7 years of professional experience, my style blends the timeless artistry of cinema with the authenticity of photojournalism. I document your day as it unfolds naturally, while my cinematic eye ensures every frame is worthy of a film still. My clients often say that I make them feel comfortable, that I’m more like a friend than a vendor, and that my work captures emotions they didn’t even realize they were feeling.

Julianna was the photographer I was certain I wanted to use even before I was engaged to my now husband. Once engaged, I reached out to her less than a week after the proposal. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and I am so beyond happy with our decision to have had her as our wedding photographer. She is SO talented and creative and does such amazing storytelling in her photography. Having our photos tell the story of our wedding day was so important to us and Julianna did such a perfect job capturing every moment and emotion perfectly and beautifully. You cannot go wrong with booking Julianna for your wedding. Aside from her talented work, she is hands down such a genuine and kind person. She made such a comfortable environment during both our engagement shoot and wedding photos, making sure we were comfortable in all of our photos and at ease. She's so easy to talk to, always understanding, and always has a positive energy. We love her so, so much & we highly recommend her!!

Juls Photography and Company

  • Classic style
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

I am an experienced photographer in the Richmond, VA area, most recently named Richmond's Most Loved Photographer of 2020, 2021 & 2022. There is nothing I love more than watching my clients families grow as the years go by or watching two people express their love for one another at a wedding ceremony. Capturing those milestones means the world to me and I feel as though that passion shows through in my creative but natural photography style.

Julianne was our photographer for our wedding this last weekend and I could not recommend her enough. She truly went above and beyond from the moment I asked her to capture our wedding through the delivery of our gallery. I don’t give recommendations lightly but I wouldn’t hesitate for a second with Julianne. Her talent, professional and kindness are unmatched!

Our goal was to get photos that looked straight out of a Vogue shoot haha.. And they superseded our expectations. Our photos are timeless and absolutely stunning. Christy and Alex are extremely sweet, making us feel so comfortable. There was not a moment we felt lost because they kindly guided us in what to do and the execution was exactly what we wanted, confirming that our desires were heard and respected. They captured us for who we are as a couple. Thanks Christy and Alex!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story.

From our first interaction, Sean and his team at Portraits By Sean were prompt, personable, and clear in their communication. Their exceptional, professional, and quick work captured the essence of our special day perfectly. Sean was laid back and brought great energy to our wedding, seamlessly capturing all the important moments without ever being intrusive. We had nothing but a positive and truly exceptional experience working with Sean from start to finish. Not only were our photos top-notch, but he took the time to get to know us as a couple and was able to beautifully document all the candid, unscripted moments that made our wedding day so memorable.

Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan!

Arie was a joy to work with from beginning to end! She was a great communicator from our initial conversation through the delivery of our photos. She helped determine our timeline and kept us on track throughout our wedding day. Arie is truly an artist! We felt completely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. She gave us just the right amount of guidance in posing to get incredible shots that still look natural. She really captured the essence of the day — love and laughter, and you can feel it oozing from the photos.

Leah Flores Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Wilmington, NC for additional fees

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my two dogs and three cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I'm 9 years old 🥳!

I could write a book about Leah; or at least a very detailed blog post but I'll try to keep it shorter! As a fellow professional photographer, I got the opportunity to meet Leah and work with her as her 2nd photographer on a wedding. It took that one amazing experience and absolute blast of a time to know that whenever it was I got married she was THE photographer for me. Fast forward some years later it was finally my turn to tie the knot and my now husband and I chose our date based on when Leah was available, because there was no other option for me! I have gotten to work with dozens of photographers throughout my going on 10 year career, and I'm telling y'all, it doesn't get better than Leah. The photos - amazing! I love her eye for details, the crispness, the colors! Not to mention she is such a beautiful soul with the best personality and energy, with the professionalism to get a gallery worth of beautiful photos with you barely realizing she's there. While going through our gallery, I was stunned and overjoyed so many times to see things I had NO idea happened or even photos of people that I unfortunately didn't get to spend much time with yet seeing that they still enjoyed themselves. In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you can choose for your wedding day. I am so thankful my experience in the wedding industry allowed me to cross paths with Leah because that made a really important decision very easy for me. And I hope my review can help other soonlyweds out there make a hard decision easier. You will not go wrong choosing Leah to photograph your big day!

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.

Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

Working with Rebecca was an absolute dream from start to finish—starting with our initial meeting, through our engagement shoot, and all the way to our wedding day! She is incredibly friendly, and she has a unique ability to make professional photos feel easy, natural, and fun. When my husband and I began searching for a wedding photographer, we knew we needed someone we felt completely comfortable with on such an important day, and Rebecca was the perfect choice. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We also feel so lucky to have worked with her amazing 'day of' team—Luisa, Chris, and Maggie. They were all not only professional but also incredibly warm and relaxed, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We truly feel blessed to have had Rebecca and her team capture our special day! We look forward to working with Rebecca again in the future.

Kendra Smith Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with on Cody & Jake's wedding day. Kendra's communication style was timely, kind, and calm, which helped put us and the couple at ease throughout the planning process. She did a great job at communicating with us about the plan for the wedding day but was also able to be creative with the photography, even during a very windy ceremony. As a fellow creative, I enjoyed collaborating with Kendra, but appreciated that she could just run with it when it came to the photography. She was so lovely to work with and have around for the full wedding day!
