Stefanie Haviv Photography

Richfield, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Asheville, NC

Hi! I'm a Charlotte native, mom of 3, horse and cat mom, passionate cook, artist, gardener and all things creative. I love hearing love stories, getting to know my couples, and really working my hardest to not only deliver full wedding day coverage, but that WOW factor, that makes you KNOW in your heart you chose the right photographer.

Stefanie was our dream photographer! Years later her photos fill our house. She was wonderful to work with and disappeared into the background of the wedding while still being everywhere to grab all the amazing photos of moments we would want to cherish for years. She was quick with our couple photos getting us through as soon as possible and onto the dance floor. Through the hundreds of photos, there is not a bad photo (or bad angle) in the bunch. We highly recommend her!! And can’t wait to use her again!!

Wilder Weddings Collective

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

Wilder Weddings Collective is a dedicated team of elopement and wedding photographers passionate about capturing wild love and real emotion. Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

From start to finish we can not say enough about how great our experience working with Carolyn and Jake was (formerly CarolynMariePhotography). Getting married/eloping in a pandemic was inherently stressful and Carolyn was so much more than just a photographer for us, she truly guided us through every step of our planning process. When the universe still let our best laid plans (and back up plans) take a turn she was there to make sure we were still having the best day and rewrote my wedding day timeline for me about 3 times on the spot. The photos we received are STUNNING, but having them help us through our wedding day was honestly priceless - I can’t imagine getting married without them we honestly had so much fun. You’ll have the best time with them and still feel like you’re alone together at the same time when it matters. The organization and promptness is on point, the recommendations/referrals were amazingly helpful, the photos are absolutely beautiful and these are GOOD PEOPLE. You will not regret hiring them for your big day!!

Adrian Etheridge Photography

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian went above and beyond for us! She is so talented; she's got a great eye and you can tell she loves what she does. We loved getting to chance to meet and work with her during our engagement shoot several months before the wedding. Right from the start she made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. She was easy to work with on coordinating our day-of timeline, and she was up for anything! Adrian and her assistant, Erin, worked hard to capture every part of our big day and everything went smoothly. Her shots are well rounded- we got a great mix of candids and portraits- we love every photo! Her turnaround time is also amazing- within a few days we had sneak peaks of our pictures for both the engagement shoot and the wedding day, and within a couple weeks she was sending the link to our full preview! We can't thank you enough, Adrian!

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style

Soon after Juan and Emily got married in 2018 Juan began his photography career as a light technician in LA. Juan studied journalism for his undergrad, and this is when he was gifted his first camera and his interest in photography was sparked. Emily's childhood dream was to be a photographer, and after working for years as an ICU nurse she is able to do just that alongside Juan. We are energized by the creativity that photography brings, and the light and joy we experience from meeting couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
Juan was a wonderful photographer for our family photos. He was prompt, prepared and a true joy to be around. Everyone in my family felt comfortable with him and he was so encouraging throughout the photoshoot. Even with 3 small children, Juan managed to get all the shots. I would highly recommend Juan for any future photoshoot opportunities!

I love being a wedding photographer in Asheville. Spending time with couples one on one to develop a personal connection and make them feel comfortable is what I love! I want everyone to feel like they are in their comfortable and natural environment when they are with me.

Jessica was fantastic!! We had small outdoor wedding on a Tuesday in February with 24 guests and Jessica captured it perfectly. Prior to the wedding Jessica made sure every detail was covered and a timeline was created for a seamless day. Day of Jessica arrived on time and was ready to shoot! She was flexible, staying an extra hour to capture more of our cocktail hour and braved the cold as we had requested going to Dry Falls waterfall after the ceremony to get some shots. Our two large dogs were a part of the ceremony and Jessica was wonderful working with them prior and during the ceremony to get special shots with them! We absolutely love how all of our pictures turned out. Jessica captured our love perfectly and our day will forever be documented beautifully from her photos. Highly recommend Jessica!

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 was such an amazing photographer to work with. We were originally attracted to some of the photos we saw on his Instagram page- they were unique and stunningly beautiful especially the way he captured scenic backgrounds. He did not disappoint when it came to our photos. We not only got those amazing scenic photos- but he also captured all of the love, fun and the amazing celebration we had that day. Michael felt like he was another fun guest at out wedding. Everyone enjoyed his presence and energy that he brought to the wedding day! We could not recommend him more!

Laura naturally makes couples feel comfortable and at ease, which is pretty important during your wedding portrait shoot. She's so down-to-earth and fun to work with whether it's a true elopement or an intimate ceremony (with a handful of guests). As an officiant, I love working with other vendors who are true team players and that is Laura. I always feel like it's a collaborative effort to ensure that each couple we've had the pleasure of working for has a memorable wedding experience. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Laura to anyone but especially couples looking for an adventure off the beaten path!

Lacey Renae Photography

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Lacey is a world-travelled photographer originally from the midwest. This is a woman and Vet owned business. Her strength is primarily about seeing- the composition, the light, the dynamics between the people she is photographing. Portraits have a lean toward that as well, with a push toward the bonds between people. By working to get clients to interact, the images made reflect the connection between individuals as well as the self.

We got married 2.5 years ago on the beach, which is where we had met 4 years before that. Lacey was truly one of the great choices of the day. Before she arrived she began helping us plan and think of details we could not anticipate. Her experience and professionalism really showed before, during and after, but one thing not anticipated and so blessed by was her friendly, easy-going enthusiasm. No matter the weather changes, the mic malfunction from our DJ/friend, or even things going late- she was supportive and helpful. We had a small house-warming reception afterward. Seeing her dance while taking photographs was fun and helped her blend right in with everyone. I still have friends asking me to give recommendations for photographers, and I'll tell them about Lacey every time. A great choice!

The Jungle Branch

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

Working with Mike was an absolute dream. My partner and I are not people who feel comfortable in front of a camera. Mike completely changed that - although we had never met in person before, Mike felt like an old friend. He had the utmost patience in dealing with our wild family members before we arrived and captured every moment completely perfectly. Mike was so intentional about every shot and was incredible about getting all of the nature-inspired, detail-oriented shots that I wanted. Every time I look back at my wedding album, I'm brought to joyful tears just seeing how perfectly captured every raw emotion was. At our reception, guests couldn't stop raving about how personable and easy to work with Mike was. We had a very "free-flowing" party and Mike was able to round-up everyone and get all of our needed family and friend shots - an impossible task! My partner and I just don't have enough good things to say about the entire experience, Mike as a person, and the beautiful pictures that we ended up with. I look back on our photos and know that I will forever have memories of the moody, "Pinterest-board-inspired" wedding of my dreams!

Love in Color Photography

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

"Passionate" doesn't really begin to describe how I feel about being a photographer. It's more like, who I am as a person. Photographs are able to speak a million words in a moment when words may fail. After photographing 200+ couples of all shapes, sizes, & colors -- I can still say it is my favourite thing to do in the universe. People are my JAM! I love people & their wonderful uniqueness. When two people get together in a thing called "love"? Well, I just can't help but want to be a part of it! Capturing those obvious or subtle displays of affection between two people in true, heartfelt love is as necessary as oxygen in my lungs.

Beautiful work that captures both big and small moments; capturing expressions of overwhelming joy, love and tenderness. Works to understand what is important to each person, family or couple being photographed and brings out the best in everyone.

Jules and Conrad Photography

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Kind, patient, flexible, talented... what more could you ask for from your wedding photographers. Jules & Conrad are top-quality people and photograhers. We fell in love with them for their eye - finding beauty in the smallest of candid details. Even going in with high expectations, we were overwhelmed by the quality of the gallery Jules & Conrad delivered. If you want photographers who will also be able to capture the small moments beyond the big kiss - the quiet glances, the guest smiles, the reach of a hand, a dancefloor drop - this is the couple for you. Would choose them as our photographers a million times over.

I take a photojournalistic approach to wedding photography, capturing candid and intimate moments as they naturally unfold. I strive to create a fun and relaxed experience at every shoot. I consider my approach akin to storytelling. My goal is to document the genuine love, laughter, and raw emotions of your day, along with all the little details and memories that made it so special. I'm also all about getting creative and will step away from the candid approach to execute a few fun (and sometimes playful) ideas. Creative portraits are my love.

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. I also fell in love with love itself. I saw the beauty in the gift humans feel of cherishing one another. For six years now, I have had the privilege of photographing weddings and elopements of people who feel deeply and love deeply.

Here's the quick, down-and-dirty version: I've spent my entire career telling stories—first on the radio, then on TV, and then in the various media used in the communications and public relations field. Fifteen years ago, I started telling visual love stories of couples in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. What started as doing a favor by shooting a friend's wedding, became something I wanted to pursue more wholly. So, let's tell your story. The story of you and the love of your life I can't wait to create something with you.

Mike is an incredible photographer! He went above and beyond on our wedding day and helped make it really special. He helped us feel relaxed and made us laugh a lot. The pictures are amazing and were delivered in a timely manner. 10/10 would work with Mike again. I highly recommend hiring Thornhill Photography for all your photo needs!

Carly was an absolute pleasure to work with. I have to say, the thing I looked forward to the least about getting married was the photography session. It can easily turn into something that feels like just a lot of work and forced smiles. Not the case with Carly. We had fun, we joked and the smiles were genuine...I cannot fully express how pleased we were to have her shoot for us. I honestly believe we could not do better; certainly not at her price point. We are so happy she was the one to be there for us on our day.

My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

I cannot express how incredibly thankful we were for choosing McKenna to capture our big day. McKenna was so friendly and charismatic from the start and she fit right into the craziness and chaos of our life without missing a beat. She was flexible and super communicative, especially when it rained on the day of our engagement photos, which really helped to calm our nerves and make the session comfortable and fun. She stepped right into the flow of things on our wedding day and kept everyone on schedule and in good spirits. The photos came back better than I could've imagined and our guests haven't stopped talking about them. To say that McKenna is talented would be an understatement and I'll certainly be asking her to capture the rest of our big life moments!

Some highlights: - Strong communication in the months leading up to the wedding, always promptly replying to emails - His gallery speaks for itself but he clearly has a good artistic vision and excellent editing skills with many years of experience - Did some FILM photography as well!!! My favorite photos of the day were captured on film and had such a gorgeous vintage vibe that digital would never be able to capture. - Captured everything we could have possibly wanted, was good at posing us for posed photos but also got so many special candid moments Most importantly, Andrew has such a relaxed, positive, and calming vibe that was so important to us on our big day. I have been in weddings where the photographer is way too intense and barking orders at everyone, rushing people, and stressing out the bride and groom - I am so glad that was not the case with him. I could not recommend his services enough - it is well worth every penny.

She went out of her way to meet with me, gave tremendous recommendations on venue options that were in the style and vibe we wanted for our wedding, then went as far as to meet with us at a couple of the venues to provide a vision of what it would look like with lighting and photos the day of our wedding.

Hi, I'm Kayla, and I believe that your wedding day should reflect what you and your beloved want; **not** what others want. Yep–I said it. Your wedding day can be your greatest adventure yet, and your decision to elope can trailblaze the way for more intention in your life. How? Eloping is a coming home to yourself and your beloved because you’re boiling all the details of your day down to what really matters. With that extra space in your day, void of distractions, you're truly free to live out your day with intention. I would be so thrilled and honored to come alongside you and help capture and craft your best day ever!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kayla is an absolute DREAM to work with! My husband had her secretly follow us around when he proposed, and she was such a delight! We were so comfortable with her and she took the most amazing photos. So, when we heard she did elopements … we knew we had to go with her! She walked us through the entire elopement process, researched the area to find the BEST space for us to have the ceremony, and kept us updated on everything leading up to the big day. We wanted a sunrise ceremony and she was able to figure out the exact area inside Cloudland Canyon that would give us the best light. Our pictures are absolutely breathtaking due to this. Not only is Kayla an amazing photographer, but she’s truly a delight to work with. She has the best energy and she is SO kind and patient! If you’re thinking about eloping, use Kayla. She knows her stuff and knows how to make sure you have the most perfect day.

She gladly answered every question we had and helped us choose our mountain, create a timeline, provided us with officiant information and other helpful tips. She made our dream day come true! Another important point I want to make is that Erika really made an effort to get to know us and our vision for the day, which made us feel like we had a friend spending the day with us rather than a stranger.

As a long time wedding and elopement photographer, I am passionate about my couples enjoying and being present on their wedding day. I take only a handful of wedding clients a year so that I stay fresh and excited. I usually shoot about 30% classic portraiture and 70% lifestyle/photo documentary. I like to tell the story through movement and candid photos, while also taking time to create striking and timeless portraits. I edit all my photos in black and white and color, with a film finish.

We decided to hire Helen Joy for our elopement after she did our maternity shoot because she was so amazing to work with and everything was so easy and natural. On our day of elopement, the weather didn’t go according to plan and we ended up with foggy overcast lighting. I can’t tell you how amazing those photos came out despite the conditions, and she went along with everything on the fly with ease. She was able to capture the magic in the moments, foggy weather and location change included, and those photos capture our tender moments in a frame forever. I will cherish those til the end of our days. She takes shots so discretely and I had no idea she caught some of the beautiful moments that she did. I can’t say enough good things, we highly recommend Helen Joy for any photography you’re looking for!

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend. Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know! Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day! Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night! Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT! We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.

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.

Joanna photographed our September 2023 wedding at West Point in NY, and we would recommend her wholeheartedly.
 We first contacted Joanna after seeing her work on Instagram and Zola, and we really connected to the candidness and quality of her photography. We weren’t fans of traditional, super-posed and highly edited wedding photography. We were looking for a wedding photographer with a relaxed style that’s both modern and timeless. Joanna was all of the above and her photography perfectly highlights real love and connection between two people. Our wedding package with Joanna included an engagement shoot which was the perfect way to get to know her better and explain in person what we wanted for both our engagement and wedding photos. As people who aren’t generally comfortable in front of a camera, Joanna made us feel so comfortable while shooting and the photos came out better than we could have expected.
 On the wedding day, Joanna flew in to shoot our wedding, which wasn’t originally anticipated when we booked, but we truly appreciated how she made it work for our wedding. She was a dream to work, traveling to multiple locations throughout the day to shoot and capturing every photo we asked for. Going with Joanna over a team of photographers was one of the best decisions we made. It kept our wedding more intimate and relaxed for us and our guests without sacrificing quality or the range of photos. Overall, Joanna was flexible, organized, and collaborative. She quickly responded to all of our questions and kept in communication with us throughout the entire process.

Hi there! I'm Sarah, a Nashville-based wedding photographer and I'm thrilled you're here! A bit about me: I'm originally from east Tennessee, and I currently call Nashville home. Though Nashville is home base, I will travel almost anywhere, I regularly offer my services in various regions, including east Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. My journey with photography began at a young age, but it wasn't until college, during my first black and white film class, that I realized it was my true calling. Since then, my passion for photography has only deepened, and I've never looked back.

My husband and I had an exceptional experience with Sarah during our intimate elopement in Sedona, Arizona. Sarah's fun and caring demeanor immediately put us at ease, creating a relaxed atmosphere for our photoshoot. Sarah's organizational skills made planning painless! Her willingness to travel to Sedona showcased her dedication, and the resulting photographs perfectly captured the essence of our special day. I highly recommend Sarah for those seeking a skilled and caring photographer who goes above and beyond to create a memorable experience. Thank you, Sarah, for your outstanding work!

To be perfectly honest, I love what I do. I'm damn good at it. I have dabbled in all sorts of jobs but I kept coming back to the camera. It feels really good to take the craft that I love so much and share it. The scope of my photography is wide but I specialize in weddings and elopements. I've been photographing weddings since 2005. I believe in vibing well with your photographer because let's be honest, your photographer will be up close and personal with you throughout your big day so it's important to choose someone whose energy you enjoy and mesh well with. Having a phone or zoom chat or meeting in person is a good move!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the pleasure of working with Autumn on many weddings and events throughout the last few years and I would recommend her over and over again! I have seen her in action from a Venue perspective, a Planner perspective, and even a Bridesmaid perspective! Each of which was amazing. Autumn is the perfect balance of fun and "get the job done." She makes couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, snaps all of the right photos, and has a bright personality to make the day even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a great Photographer and all-around person, she's the gal for your day!

I'm quirky, quick with a joke, and turn my couples into dear friends!

Karen is remarkable! We had a fairly small family only elopement in Savannah. Being that we were from out of town, Karen was a huge help as a Savannah liaison, providing many suggestions for anything we needed. The day of, Karen was an incredible one woman show. She was so organized, thoughtful, and energetic. She had great ideas for unique shots and backdrops and was a real asset getting the bride ready, a hype girl, and chameleon. Our whole family was very complimentary of her and her approach and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Leah Marie Photography + Stationery is truly the BEST! Hire Leah if you are seeking a wedding photographer to capture those special moments as this is her beautiful gifting. She was suggested and we fell in love with her personality over the phone. She was radiant, joyful and exuberant. She traveled to North Georgia to photo and without us knowing, she even photographed our rehearsal. One of the qualities that makes Leah stand out above other photographers I've worked with, (I'm an actress and on set often) is her specialized eye on composition, lighting and movement in a photo and the way she makes everyone feel at ease. The photos she captured were published a week later in the magazine BEAUTIFUL. Our wedding was featured in a 7 page spread story about our celebration. The other huge selling factor about Leah is the softness she provides in the finished photo. It is a surreal, warm, quality filled with a love light that is consistent in all of the photos she prepped and sent to us. She delivers such emotional and epic photos. Our videographer was filming and you see Leah photographing us, not missing a moment and she complimented /coordinated with our wedding palette. It was incredible. My sister consistently said how she wished she had a fraction of the talent in her wedding photographer. Leah is a rare gift. You not only get a photographer but a friend and a joyful personality celebrating your special day with you. Didn't miss a moment, talented, professional, easy to work with and turned around photos within moments.

My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding.

I love picking up my camera everyday and never knowing what the world is going to bring my way. With over 20 years of photography experience, I want to approach every wedding in a fresh way that reflects the unique aspects of the couple’s relationship and individual personalities. I try to naturally capture who my couples are with an artistic flare; letting the real moments they share during their wedding and engagements shine. That way, when they look at their photos years down the line it’ll be like it was just yesterday.

Dustin is an absolute dream to work with! He was BY FAR the most professional and responsive wedding vendor we experienced in our entire planning process. We had to reschedule our engagement shoot (due to COVID restrictions), and Dustin went above and beyond to pull some strings to make it all come together for us. On the actual day of the shoot, I was really nervous about looking nice and coming up with unique ideas to make the photos look special. It is so much pressure! Dustin immediately put my mind at ease, asked a few questions, and knew exactly what we were looking for. He proceeded to take the lead and capture the most beautiful, creative photos of us. They came out better than we could have ever imagined!! So grateful to Dustin for this wonderful, stress-free experience and gorgeous memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We were SO blessed to have Des. She is so much more than a photographer. She has become our biggest hype girl and such a close friend, since working working with her. She will take such excellent care of you and make sure that you have a day that is an honest reflection of your relationship. She was able to guide us into choosing the most epic location, connect us with incredible vendors, and put us at complete ease. We’re super laid back and she made everything so easy and chill. We were taken care of through the entire experience. We we’re nervous about exploring somewhere new, but Des knows her stuff and was able to navigate us through the location scouting process seamlessly. The day of felt nothing like a photo session and more like hanging out with a really cool friend that gave you as much space as you needed to be vulnerable with your partner, while also keeping the hype up. She had such an incredible pulse on our needs. We were nervous about looking awkward or feeling camera-shy, but she knew exactly what to say to help up feel comfortable. There was no awkward posing or forced emotion, just really subtle prompting that helped you ease into each moment. The entire day was amazing and none of it would have happened without her skill and guidance. We felt like we could trust her to keep us present in the most important moments. We cried when we got our images, they were absolutely breathtaking and 1000% us. We loved being able to share this day through these images with all of our friends and family that weren’t there. They were able to laugh and cry with us. Getting your gallery from Des is like getting to relive your favorite day all over again. She is an absolute gem that impacted our lives in such a positive way. We had no idea how gorgeous Montana was until Des blew our minds with all of the incredible knowledge that she has. If you’re curious about how amazing eloping can be, she’s the girl to talk to. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away.

The photos from the Porto’s speak for themselves. You can see the quality of their work in everything they do which is exactly why we booked them for our wedding. Phil was super helpful in the planning process. The day went so smoothly and he worked great in getting the many family photos from our large families taken, which means a lot to us.

I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

WE'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF... You want documentary style photos or videos that capture those unscripted moments shared with the ones you hold closest to your heart. | You want a photographer and videographer that makes you feel confident, at ease, and thrilled to be in front of the camera | You want a simple and fun day full of celebrating with your friends and family, not spending hours away taking portraits. | You want your photos and video to focus on the things most important to you, especially documenting your friends and family. | You're madly love and want authentic and real photos and videos to look back on.

Sof and Tim were amazing to work with! They were communicative, creative, and friendly and made us feel at ease even though neither of us are super comfortable with being photographed. The pictures and video turned out beautiful. We couldn't have found a better vendor, and we're so thankful for their work!

Hi, my name is Malia! I am a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I specialize in Weddings, families and newborns. I have always been passionate about photography and I started when I was young with a little camera my mom got me from a thrift store and just grown from there. Since then, I have worked with other photographers and my mother who owns a wedding rental company I know my way around weddings. When I am not taking pictures, I enjoy exploring nature with my son.

We booked Malia for our engagement and wedding photos and she was incredible to work with! Very easygoing and extremely professional yet personal. We felt comfortable to be ourselves around her and the photos really captured the emotions and essence of our special day. She really pays attention to detail and delivers beautifully. We would 100% recommend her!
