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.

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!

Shannon Leopold Photography

5.0

Boone, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

Hi I'm Shannon, I was raised in the city of Los Angeles, but now reside in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I describe my photography approach as a "directed documentary". I love to blend more traditional money shots (the big kiss, walking down the aisle, first dances) with a photojournalistic angle that feels like natural snapshots rather than posed photos. My firm belief is that great photos can only reflect what naturally unfolds on your big day. I focus on candids, guest reactions, and photographing anything that helps tell a complete, and unique story. My goal is that anyone who looks at your gallery feels what it was like to be there.

Shannon has impeccable talent! Her photos always tell the most beautiful stories. You can't help but do a little "happy dance" whenever she sends a gallery your way!

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.

Having Carsten as our photographer was one of the single best decisions we made for our wedding. Carsten is incredibly talented. He immediately knew what elements to use at our venue to make for the best pictures. He captured unique things like the foliage, ferns, jewelry, etc. in such a unique way. He even knew what and who we would want pictures of, even if we forgot to specify. He is such a pleasure to work with and we have become good friends in the process of working together. Carsten has a huge heart and it is so evident that he cared about our wedding day as much as we did. We feel so fortunate to have had him behind the lens to capture such an incredible day. The hardest part about having hired Carsten is knowing what pictures to put into frames!

Of all the choices I’ve made for my wedding, choosing Ryan Smith Photography was likely the best one. Ryan showed up early on the day of and checked in with me immediately upon arrival and went straight to work. He was so much fun, personable, and professional. He turned the photos around quickly and responded to all of my emails immediately. Everyone loved him. My family and friends are still talking about him! I have a condition that makes my eyes look a bit strange in pictures sometimes and I was concerned about my wedding photos looking distorted. I had spoken with Ryan and he was very respectful of this. I was sure that there would be a number of pictures that I would not love because of my eye. Imagine my surprise when every single photo was perfect! The effort he put in to us and the time he spent perfecting every little shot was unreal. The pictures he took have given me a knew confidence that I didn’t have before my wedding. If you’re looking for the right photographer, look no further. Ryan is the best of the best!

Zaida was the perfect photographer for our wedding. She’s friendly, fun, very approachable, and super easy to work with. We made the perfect choice by going with her. We just got the pictures a few days ago and they’re all amazing and captured the day perfectly - it’s like we’re reliving the day again. We also appreciate the fact that she took our engagement pictures also - that gave us time to connect and get to know each other, so I highly recommend that. She quickly figured out our style and got us out our shy shells. Her husband, Anthony, was the second shooter for our wedding and he was also fun and easy to get along with. He made us feel relaxed and he basically was one of the guys when we were in the groomsman suite. I can’t say enough - great communication, great presence, very professional but also very fun, and perfect photos. Our entire wedding party loved her. We plan to reach out to Zaida for our 1 year anniversary shoot!

Talking over the details of the surprise helped me fine tune the location and setting so he could capture some perfect moments. Sean made sure he was around throughout the night; before the surprise and afterwards for the party to capture the entire night. That way we got a great sense of the entire time for our everlasting memories. The pictures have come out great and everyone has loved them!

My name is Gabbie, and I'm a wedding photographer for the couples who seek a non-traditional approach to their big day. I'm a sucker for a candid moment, intimate ceremonies, and black-and-white images from the 1980s. My work is photojournalistic — I approach weddings through a documentary lens, telling the truth with beautiful and timeless imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Gabbie for our wedding and she absolutely blew us away. From the start, she was so easy to work with and got to know us, our story, and our style. We first had an engagement session with her, where she had a beautiful location in mind that fit our style perfectly. My husband and I were nervous because we're not used to being in front of the camera, but Gabbie's calm and fun nature put us at ease immediately. She has a way of creating certain moments that don't feel completely posed and resulted in absolutely stunning photographs that we cherish to this day. We were an original COVID couple (postponing our wedding a month before it was meant to happen in Spring 2020) and were so thankful that Gabbie was willing to work with us and all of the fluid changes we were dealing with daily. On the wedding day and all of the chaos that comes with it, Gabbie was a steady and calm voice amidst the craziness. She did a killer job despite dealing with on and off rain. She has this amazing ability to blend right in throughout the day while beautifully documenting our special moments. Once we received our complete gallery, we were speechless. The time and effort she puts in to selecting and editing every single image shows how truly invested and caring she is. She even managed to photograph little moments we didn't even notice her there for. She captured the spirit, love and fun of our wedding perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Kim at Craven and Co. did far more than take unbelievable photos of our wedding day (though I'll get to that as well). I had no idea that a photographer could do so much to add to the energy of our overall experience. She caught the most touching details that I would have never thought to mention--from getting ready to the final moments walking away from our after party--as well as managed the group photo portion of the day brilliantly. Most importantly, Kim is wonderful at making everyone feel at ease so she can capture the true energy of the wedding. She knows weddings inside and out and knows how to be at the right place at the right time. Logistically, she was quick, easy to contact, and amazing at compiling images that told the full story of the experience. I still have people asking me who our photographer was and we have many of the photos framed in our home. I would recommend Craven and Co. to any couple!

From the moment Alissa and I connected I knew she was going to be a great fit for us. She was very flexible as far as booking our engagement shoot and went above and beyond to get us all the photos we wanted, we even hung out a bit after and had a drink, she's fun!! Come wedding day I was having some issues with another vendor and Alissa was more than willing to step in and help in any way she could. Both my husband and I have very large families so when it came time for family photos she did a great job at making sure we got what we needed and moved on so that we can enjoy our time and not spend hours corralling family to get photos done. We ended up needing her to stay longer to capture our exit and she was more than willing to add more time. After just a few days we got back 50 photos for our sneak peak and were soooo in love with the way they turned out!

I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan, if you're into any of that, we'll get along great!

Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

Bethany and Dan are always one of our favorite photography duos to recommend! They excel at capturing the fun of a couple's wedding day - those moments of joy when guests and the newlyweds are all sharing in the excitement of such a special day. Going through their albums, you can always relive the emotions of the day - they're more than beautiful images - they have a sense of life infused all along the way. We've experienced firsthand how at-ease they make couples feel, and they're always willing to take some risks and experiment with more than just your typical wedding photos - often leading to the most frame worthy images of all!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

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 is, in a word, amazing! She worked with us to craft a photo package that served our needs on our wedding day. She made the actual process of photography easy and fun, and the photos we received of our wedding were just phenomenal. I'd recommend Raven to anyone who's looking for a photographer to support you in your wedding journey, no matter how you see that playing out.

Hi, we’re Chris and Audrey! A husband and wife photographer-videographer duo located in sunny Pompano Beach, South Florida who loves to travel the world. His Light & Co. was first born out of a desire to share God's love with couples as they begin a new chapter of life together. But shortly after opening our doors, we also developed a deep passion for capturing wedding films and images that are as unique as our couples’ love stories.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were referred to Chris by a friend who used him for their own wedding and had nothing but positive things to say. Well, it became immediately evident why. Upon first meeting through zoom, it was clear Chris was very personable, friendly, and attentive, and after speaking with him for only about 10-15 my fiancee and I already knew we were going to choose Chris. We have now had the opportunity to work with Chris on two separate occasions and honestly, they have been some of my favorite experiences to date. Chris is very warm and friendly, he's easy to have a conversation with but still very professional and the quality of his work has left us speechless, to be honest. I dont consider myself to be a model of any kind but when shooting with Chris he defintely makes you feel like you are the star and this is your show. We have no regrets in choosing Chris to be our photographer for one of the most important days of our lives and trust us, you wont either. He is freaking amazing and you will be able to tell right away. 10/10 recommended without question. Thank you Chris for making this experience as wonderful as you have.

We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

I offer the option to add on custom tintype portraits for weddings within a 6 hour driving radius of Portland.

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

I recently had an engagement session done with Kanded, and it was everything I could have asked for! I had a very specific vision in mind, and Kiersten and Enrique nailed it. From helping pick a location, doing camera tricks to help achieve the look I wanted (think dreamy vintage fairytale)- they were so helpful and attentive every step of the way! An added bonus is that you’re getting two photographers for the price of one, so you can’t go wrong booking with them :)

These characteristics, combined with my artistic vision and technical expertise, allow me to capture poignant, humorous and truly candid photos of people and their environment.

She was flexible, professional, helpful, and above all really good at taking photographs. We worked through an initial cancellation, she rescheduled with me around the holidays, she knew where and how to take the best shots and she struck the perfect chord of incorporating our wishes during the surprise engagement shoot while standing true when she knew where a good shot would come (and she was right). From meeting with me for a walk-through a few weeks before the surprise to perfectly blending into the crowds at Central Park for the surprise engagement, Laurie went above and beyond and really made the surprise engagement one my fiancé and I can remember forever.

Before heading to my location, she had messaged me and asked if I needed anything before she arrived. Once Mariah had gotten there, she calmed my nerves, reassured me when my anxiety was heightened during the chaos, and communicated with me about every thing I needed. She captured my day perfectly.

Hello! My name is Katie, and I am the wine-loving, adventure-seeking, memory-making human behind the camera. I am passionate about supporting small and/or local businesses, especially when I travel. You can usually find me trying out a new brewery or restaurant or exploring a different trail leading to some new view!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Katie for our wedding photos was our best decision! We would hire her again in a heartbeat. For the entire year-and-a-half that my fiancé (now husband) were engaged, Katie met with us periodically on the phone to check in about specific topics such as scheduling or a family photos “shoot list”. We got our initial response within a couple days of sending our inquiry, then met on Zoom that week to meet her. She asked about our relationship, our personalities, etc. to get to know us, which was great and made everything more personal. It was easy to book a second shooter through Katie to get more photos, since she will find and contact another professional photographer for you, which is a step out of the way while you’re busy wedding planning! Our wedding day/photos being taken: What we loved about Katie is that her photography style is that her photos don’t feel awkward or too posed, and they feel more journalistic. There will of course be lots of formal portraits of the couple and wedding party, but Katie does an amazing job to get genuine smiles and laughs out of everyone. She is super funny, kind, and down-to-earth. Katie got along great with the wedding party and made everyone feel a lot more relaxed on our wedding day. Photographers are such an important part of the wedding day and keep the day going smoothly and on-time, and Katie did an exceptional job. Our edited photos: My husband and I were in LOVE with our edited photos from both our wedding and our engagement photoshoot. I am usually not the biggest fan of photos of myself, but when I looked through our wedding photos, I loved every single one. We immediately put together photo albums for our parents and had such a hard time picking our favorites! We would put all 1000+ photos in there if we could. I still look at these photos almost daily, and can’t wait to have nicely framed ones in our house. Professionalism: Lastly Katie was extremely professional. She wrote a contract, kept notes of everything so that nothing was forgotten, and was always on time or early for everything. You could tell she really cares about every single client, and puts the work into getting to know each couple far in advance before their wedding day. Altogether we would definitely recommend any engaged couple to hire Kate Elaine for wedding photos. We rate her 100/10 and could not have picked a better photographer!

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Having worked with Adam for the past 7 years, it is safe to say he has made the top of my vendor list for photography. Aside from offering classic, iconic and true to life wedding photography, he is simply a delight to work with. As a planner, there are two hallmarks of a great photographer (in addition, of course, to quality work) -- people skills and timing. Adam has the market cornered on both. Aside from partnering with me on crafting a quality timeline so that every shot it covered, perhaps my favorite part of working with Adam is hearing every aunt and mother-of-the-bride try to adopt him. But it doesn't stop there. Be it groomsmen, bridesmaids, or that one tricky family member, everyone drops their guard and falls in love with him before the day is done. The result is authentic and honest wedding photos that freeze those special moments in time. I don't give vendor recommendations lightly, but Adam Kent is first on my list any day of the week.
