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.

Hi, I'm Kristen and I'm so excited you are here! I've been a wedding photographer for 17 years with hundreds of weddings under my belt. Diversity and inclusivity are very important to me both personally and professionally, so no matter who you are I want to document your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about Kristen. Kristen knows how to capture the moment exactly how it happens and the emotional ride shines through in her photos. When everyone is at the height of their emotions, she’s there telling that story through her work. The attention to detail simply blew us away. Kristen is a magical story teller. Working with Kristen is also such a gift because of who she is as a human being. The love she has for her art is apparent right off the bat - but it’s the love she brings for all the people in her life that makes the biggest difference. She uses the love she has for her beautiful family to drive her work and in turn, we ended up feeling like family. She is down to earth, kind, knows how to party, funny, and the most open-minded human. She doesn’t judge anyone and we felt completely comfortable being vulnerable in front of her. Kristen bends over backwards (sometimes literally) to deliver the gallery of dreams. And she did that for us on three separate occasions. Each time we went through them, we cried, laughed, and felt like we went back in time and relived some of the best moments of our lives. Everyone is welcome and beautiful at Beck Photo Co. and in our opinions, that is such a beautiful gift to this world. Thank you, Kristen!

Alissa with Sweet Bliss Media was very personable and easy to connect with. On my wedding day, she made me feel like it was her life's mission to make me feel and look beautiful in my photographs. Amidst all the craziness of your wedding day, it felt nice to have someone by your side to bring out the beauty. Who is not just there as a photographer for hire, but a forever friend capturing the special moments. Alissa also did things that she was not asked or contracted to, but just out of the kindness of her heart. She brought me bottled water to ensure that I stayed hydrated and even stayed later than we had originally laid out in the contract to make sure that my send-off was captured! She is a sweetheart and even though the photography was the biggest bill of the wedding budget, it was worth every penny, even my husband agrees. The finished product is absolutely stunning and we can’t wait to use her again for our family photos!! We highly recommend Alissa to all brides looking for a wedding photographer.

Jessica was absolutely amazing and we are incredibly pleased with our decision to use her as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was a great communicator who went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. Jessica being so organized and on top of things made our wedding experience much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica’s directions and attitude put us at ease and made for a very enjoyable experience. Our wedding day went just according to plan, and so so much of that credit goes to Jessica! Taking everything we had spoken about into consideration, she put a wedding day timeline together for us; that was a huge stress relief! Jessica was amazing leading up to the wedding and I couldn’t of been any more pleased. I had so much confidence in Jessica leading up to the wedding day, and she did not disappoint! She was organized, had a plan, and followed it just as we had discussed. When hiccups arose, she was a calming presence who quickly adapted and made the absolute best out of the situation. Now, on to the photos! Jessica is a remarkably talented photographer who captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. The photos all turned out so good and she was able to capture so many moments that we, as the bride and groom, were not able to witness in the moment. Our couples portraits, wedding party photos, and family photos were stunning. We are also so incredibly grateful for Jessica taking the time to photograph our guests during the reception. She was able to capture every moment with such authenticity; we love to look back at the photos and relive the day. I would whole-heartedly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!!

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 found Kristi by chance by doing a searching for wedding photographers around Beaver County, PA. She was the second one that popped up, but the first one I actually got excited about. I loved the way her photos looked. A little more darker and moody than any other typical wedding photographer. I am still in love with everything she has done for me. From my engagement photos to my daughter’s 1st birthday pictures. Kristi becomes more than a photographer. She becomes a friend who genuinely cares about you and your family, whether you talk to her practically every week or every few months. It’s just meeting up with an old friend who happens to take ahhh-mazingly stunning photos.

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 absolutely wonderful. They captured our wedding so beautifully and made us look and feel comfortable and beautiful, and became friends along the way. If they told me to climb up a tree to get the shot, I’d do it! I cannot recommend them enough.

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.

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.

There is nothing more anxiety-producing than choosing which photographer to document your event and my partner and I couldn't be happier with Megan. She has a great eye for detail and composition resulting in beautiful, professional, flattering(!), and intimate photos. She's highly conscious that she is creating memories and her photographs reflect her thoughtfulness. She captures the smallest details and interactions while still managing to get the "big picture" too. Megan listens to all concerns -however big or small- while making the process smooth, fun, and as low-stress as possible. She is extremely fair when it comes to price and you receive far more than you are paying for! I highly recommend her services. Photographers are like physicians, they need to be able to put you at ease while being both personable and professional and Megan Saul fits the bill. Our happy event was in early January of 2020.

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 and her team are *phenomenal* and one of the main vendors we have to thank for making our wedding day as incredible as it was. From getting to meet Raven at the engagement session we did, she instantly took care to listen to what we were comfortable with and helped us have fun being in front of the camera (which for us is not in either of our comfort zones). On our wedding day itself, Raven and her team were such pros at wrangling family/wedding party members and also getting the shots that were most important to us. :) They are such calming presences and made us and all of our people feel so at ease, and we know that the photos are gonna be spectacular!! As people (and queer folks) who aren’t immediately comfortable with posing/having our picture taken, getting to work with Raven was such a gift and we are so thankful for her and everyone we got to work with from her team!!

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. Joanna is also just a very kind and friendly person to work with, which was very important to us. We truly love our wedding day photos. Thank you Joanna!

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. 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.

On the day of our wedding, he was a great presence to have around- so calming and organized to capture each special moment. He returned a sneak peak and then our full album so quickly and we loved it all so much! He captured everything from our love for each other and the city of Chicago, our wonderful family and friends, and all the small special details as well. All of his photos came out so beautiful and will be cherished forever. I highly recommend Kyle!

I shoot mostly film, medium format and 35mm, as well as a little bit of digital, to create timeless imagery that ages gracefully. Alongside weddings, I also run a tintype photography business. I offer the option to add on custom tintype portraits for weddings within a 6 hour driving radius of Portland. I am trained as a fine art photographer, studying at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and SFAI. I now live in the small town of Washougal, WA on the edge of the Columbia River Gorge.

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.

The Kanded Photography Team is just awesome. They are so fun to be around. The recently shot a wedding at my venue and the pictures were AMAZING! They have an awesome eye for capturing unique photos that aren’t “cookie cutter.” They not only made the couple look amazing, but captured the beauty of our venue perfectly.

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.
