I believe in true love and the beauty of candid laughter. There's more to it than clicking a button -- you need an eye for artistry, moments, and equilibrium. I love people and I love stories, and wedding photography is the perfect blend of those two elements. I want you to feel like I'm a friendly face coming along on an adventure with you, not paparazzi getting in your way. My journey into wedding photography started right after I got married, and I've documented 100+ weddings since then.

Hazel & Spice Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Wilmington, NC for additional fees

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

Megan Saul Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Wilmington, NC for additional fees

I resonate with intimate, honest weddings, ones that present as unique and authentic, ones with tradition but they threw that tradition out the door and made their day an authentic representation of their marriage. As an artist, I am able to document weddings while incorporating my own artistic visions and yours. I love natural light, nature, and intimate moments. It is important to me for you to trust me as photography is a collaboration.

Megan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to start? During the first phone call with Sarah, even after we told her we were interviewing multiple photographers, she offered us pointers and advice to consider when choosing our photographer, not her as the photographer, but OUR photographer. From the beginning she wanted to ensure that we had the best fit for us. She went above and beyond by coming to our venues prior to the wedding to "get the feel" of what she would need to capture the perfect moments. On the day of the wedding (when it was pure chaos) she adapted quickly, efficiently and went with the flow. Sarah and Ben are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and have a wonderful sense of humor. All of the photos they took are amazing and very unique. The emotion captured by each photo brought us to laughter or tears, but both in a good way! We could not have picked a better photographer, and we cannot thank them enough for all they did!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Wilmington, NC for additional fees

Wedding photographs should honor your relationship and highlight your unique connection. More than simple validation, they are a declaration that love knows no boundaries. So, it’s important to find a photographer who understands the full scope of your story, someone who sees both the broader significance and its personal meaning. And someone who captures it all through unforgettable photographs. When it comes to photography, it takes a non-traditional perspective to look beyond the obvious and capture the hidden bits of who you two really are.

Raven documented my wedding day with such care and clarity. In her pictures, I see the settings, people, and details, when it all happened. Lush greenery and orange leaves where my partner and I said our vows. My aunt smiling as she met my baby daughter. Hugs with guests after our ceremony. The flowers on my alternative style dress. Amazingly, she got many of these shots when the people in the photos did not realize it. They're not only a killer record of what happened that day. Her pictures are lovely and naturalistic with vibrant colors. Killer wedding day coverage is not the only thing you get with Raven. She is great to work with throughout the process, always warm, well-organized and punctual.

Meghan Ann Imagery LLC was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, her communication was very clear, and on a personal level she is incredibly kind and sweet to deal with. We weren't initially planning to have a photographer since this was our very small "legal" wedding and we were planning a larger destination wedding, but we're so glad we decided to book Meghan last minute. On Mother's Day, she gladly accepted the job and captured every special moment beautifully. The quality of her work was tremendous, exceeding our expectations with how fast she turned around our photos, and we now have precious memories to cherish forever. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos and cannot recommend Meghan Ann Imagery LLC highly enough.

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

Heyyy! I'm Sam. I'm the creative soul behind Enchanted Aura Photography. I'm a short (sometimes spicy) Aries who loves coffee, antiques & wandering outside on a sunny day. I have always been the type of person to find beauty in the most mundane moments and I wholeheartedly believe that has translated into my passion for photography. When I'm not glued to a camera or laptop, i'm spending time with my husband and toddler (while chasing around our 2 dogs & 1 cat lol). I love rotting away watching reruns of Jersey Shore or Mad Men, Crocheting, Painting & Hyperfixating on random projects. :)

We had the pleasure of working with Enchanted Aura Photography for our wedding, and Samantha was an absolute delight. Communication was exceptional throughout the planning process, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. On the big day, Samantha brought her fun, kind and easygoing energy which made taking photos enjoyable rather than stiff or staged. The gorgeous photos she delivered truly captured the special moments and emotions of our wedding beautifully. We couldn't have pictured a better photographer to document our special day! Samantha has an incredible talent for capturing emotion and relationships in her photography. We loved working with her and highly recommend Enchanted Aura to any couples looking for a talented, personable wedding photographer.

I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

Words could never explain how appreciative and outstanding Caitlin is! We booked Caitlin for engagement pictures, bridals and of course the big day! Her and her husband made us feel so comfortable and really kept the shoots fun for us. She is wonderful with communication, talent, and always on time. She made the entire process from start to finish such a breeze! In our package we added on the Photo Booth and I must say it is soooo worth it our guest couldn’t get enough of it so I highly recommend adding it on. This was our party favor and you get unlimited photo strips. We also had the photo album added on and she went above and beyond our expectations and made our album better than we could’ve ever imagined or done ourselves. The point is if you’ve made it this far then YES you better jump on it and book Caitlin and her husband because they are the best team!

My husband and I had a specific vision for our photos, and Sevi absolutely delivered. Her style is moody and vintage, and her attention to detail is amazing. From the beginning, Sevi was communicative and helpful. She provided a guide for wedding planning, photographed our engagement shoot beautifully, and even introduced us to her husband, Jeff, who officiated our wedding. The day of, she arrived with a second photographer and captured all the moments you want, to include candid ones we didn’t even think of. She provided a sneak peek in a few weeks, and the rest of the 800 photos in approximately 3 months. The wait was worth it as she went through each photo of the thousands she took and provided an album that perfectly curated our day. I couldn’t recommend Sevi more. Thanks, Sevi!

Hi! I’m Jess. I approach wedding photography with a photo journalistic eye, seeking out the authentic experiences of your day rather than fabricated moments. I shoot mostly film, medium format and 35mm, as well as a little bit of digital, to create timeless imagery that ages gracefully. I am trained as a fine art photographer, studying at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and SFAI. I live in Portland, OR but am happy to travel.

Jess was an absolute dream to work with - so kind and thoughtful, very clear communication, flexible, and helped us feel comfortable/relaxed at all times! She took our engagement tintype photos (gorgeous, striking, super cool) as well as our wedding photos, and I just keep looking through the album and smiling at how well the energy of the day and our love was captured! Would definitely recommend her and her work. Thanks, Jess!

I’m originally from New York, and shortly after moving down south I found myself falling in love with a country boy and made the New River Valley, VA my home. I have had a passion for photography since I was a child, and when I finally decided to take the leap into my own photography journey I was very lucky to have the support of family, friends and other professionals. I’ve had the opportunity to have some amazing mentors along the way and have soaked up everything they took the time to teach me.

Alex is so professional and personable. She really gets to know her clients and what they are looking for as well as introducing us to some new ideas! Loved working with her and will definitely use her again for other events.

I had an amazing experience with Kira Trinh Photography! Working with Kira felt effortless. She was very professional yet kept the atmosphere fun and light throughout the session. We started the session by listening to music while sharing ideas. I was truly impressed with her preparation. Kira came with creative poses and concepts, yet she was always receptive to my vision. She helped bring all my visions to reality, I couldn't ask for better! The results were stunning! Kira made me feel comfortable and confident during the photoshoot, which really showed in the results. I can tell she paid attention to each little detail. She perfectly captured my natural beauty, creating photos that feel authentic and unedited. I highly recommend Kira Trinh Photography for any occasion. She has already done my graduation photos along with various shoots, and I haven't been disappointed once. I'm already thinking of what we can do for our next shoot. I can't wait for our next session! Thank you for the amazing memories!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.
