Hi - I'm Lizzie! I am a story teller and professional hype woman who is dedicated to preserving your legacy through imagery. It is a privilege being trusted to photograph your wedding and it is not a responsibility that I accept lightly. I truly believe that the only things left after your wedding day are the photos and the marriage. Every couple has a unique story. I take the time to get to know my clients so that I can capture their wedding day in an honest and personalized way. I will work side-by-side with your wedding planner in order to create a custom, photo-friendly timeline that will ensure that my team captures every moment.

I spent a lot of time deliberating which photographer to choose. Lizzie Baker’s work really stood out. Her photography is truly a work of art and the passion comes across not only in her pictures but in how she engages with you end to end. Lizzie was one of my favorite vendors to work with and she truly made our wedding day better. We are delighted with how she captured our wedding, the scenery, and all the details and moments that you want to be able to look back on. Lizzie was always one step ahead of the program which was a huge benefit. She had great ideas for shots and her approach and personality kept us at ease during the planning process and throughout wedding day. Lizzie is not just an amazing photographer - she really is your hype woman, wedding day extraordinaire, and someone you will be happy to have at your side. People say you spend a significant amount of time with your photographer which proved to be true! We are so glad it was with Lizzie.

I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

Hey there – we're glad you're here. We're a husband-and-wife wedding and portrait photography duo based in Chapel Hill, NC. We photograph weddings in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area and all over the Southeast.

Indie Bird Photo is the greatest of all time- I cannot recommend them highly enough! Above all else, Nate and Emma are both genuinely great people who are an absolute joy to be around on your wedding day (and otherwise.) They photographed our engagement session, our wedding, and even joined us for our rehearsal dinner- and each time, it felt like working with our friends. Most importantly, their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. They are both extremely talented, experienced, and they captured our wedding in the most beautifully authentic way. They brought my dream of candid/documentary style/old school film/black and white photos to life with such ease. Nate sent us a sneak peak gallery within 24 hours of our wedding- which legitimately moved me to tears. I was blown away by the way that Nate and Emma shared all of our joy and excitement and documented it all in the most beautifully artistic photos. It was so meaningful to be able to see (and share!) our photos that quickly. Our families/friends/other vendors/my coworkers, etc. cannot stop gushing about how beautiful the photos are- and we've only seen a few! Our wedding day would not have been the same without them, and I cannot thank them enough.

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!

Caleb and Brittany are such a pleasure to work with!

They themselves are just such a fun and beautiful couple and made us feel so comfortable during the photo shoots. It really felt like you were just hanging out with friends and there just happened to be a camera there to capture all of the special moments! It’s amazing to see how these two can just look at their surroundings on the spot and immediately come up with a vision and instruct you on how to make that vision come to life. They compliment each other so well and really work as a team during these shoots. Caleb and Brittany made us feel so confident and were hyping us up the entire time - what more could you want from a photo shoot?!

Hey I’m Sierra! You are here for a REASON. I am a Colorado/California based natural light photographer, specializing in big weddings + intimate elopements. Capturing love while getting to tell your remarkable, unique story is the best most special honor.

Let’s have fun, let’s be vulnerable, let’s have the best time of our lives while you run around with your hearts on your sleeves. Why? Because we only get to tell this story once so let’s make it the best one ever written.

Our wedding was our third time working with Sierra and Jullian (Youphoria Films), and yet again, they exceeded our expectations. I used Sierra for my wedding gift Boudoir photos, we used her for our Elopement event (35 people) and we just used them for our Black Tie Wedding (80 people). They are such a supported and enthusiastic team, while also being extremely calm and composed the entire time. We never once worried about their performance as they are always professional, communicative, and just overall fantastic. We have loved our photos and videos, and will always recommend them to our friends and family! Get yourself a crew who feels like friends, because that is what they do and it makes the world of a difference!

There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!

Hi I'm Christian! I am a wife, and mother of four who loves any adventure with a passport involved. I am a huge travel junky who loves exploring new places, food, and culture. I fell in love with photography while traveling the world as a child. Years later, I tell the unqiue love stories of stylish, wanderlust couples, who are madly in love. I absolutely love photographing weddings and the relationships I build with the couples I serve. On wedding days you can catch me with two cameras on each hip making sure that every detail is captured.

I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Christian Nwuso Photography as her makeup artist for a client project. As a photographer, Christian proved her ability to be an asset to any client or project that she has worked on. Christian is diligent and extremely committed to her work. Her professionalism and organizational skills became apparent when we worked together due to an extremely tight schedule for the day. I witnessed how she was able to smooth out the “kinks” when scheduling delays occurred which allowed the day to run in a more efficient manner. Christian delivered proactive solutions in a highly stressful situation, which resulted in a positive response and work environment. Christian has demonstrated reliability, trustworthiness and has an excellent work ethic and passion for photography. I am constantly impressed with her dedication to her craft as well as her clients. I have witnessed her go above and beyond for them. In addition to these great qualities, Christian has displayed great enthusiasm and initiative; she has excellent people’s skills and has a very friendly and outgoing personality. I am sure that she will be a highly talented asset to any prospective client. Christian has an abundance of positive qualities and I respect her greatly. I felt honored to be asked to provide this recommendation and hope that the information that I provided helps to understand what an outstanding professional Christian Nwuso really is.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Colorado, but willing to travel anywhere with no travel fees in 2024! My style is very candid and photojournalistic. I aim to capture your day as it TRULY is. I'm there to document the big moments such as your first kiss and your vows, but also the little moments, like the way you two hold each other, or a glance from a family member that you don't get to see. I hope you look back on your photos and see things that you remember, but also get to see moments you might have missed.

I loved working with Hayley. As an Officiant, I know the importance of making a couple feel comfortable and heard. Hayley does just that for and with her couples. She is always willing to do whatever she can to get that perfect shot and be sure her couple is happy. It is an pleasure to work with her and I am always excited to see her wedding day photos.
