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

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!

Honestly, I don't even know how to start because Christy and Alex left me speechless! I found them through a friend and it was the best decision I have ever made during my entire wedding process. During our engagement shoot, Christy was super helpful from creating my vision, helping find the perfect location, and making us feel so comfortable during the shoot with was great because I'm super awkward in front of the camera. Our wedding pictures are a dream come true! I was in awe at the results because we had a rainy day so I was a little worried about the pictures but they are AMAZING! If you're looking for a wedding photography, honestly stop because there's no one better than Christy and Alex. I would recommend them with my eyes closed! Honestly, so upset that they don't do maternity shots or newborn shots because if it was up to me, they would photograph my entire life! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
The first part of wedding planning for us was finding the photographer because it was the most important to me (other than the man I was marrying). I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

Kendra is so unbelievably talented, and was also such a dream to be around. She was somehow right where we wanted her to be while also keeping out of site. She danced with us, and engaged with the party in a truly incredible way. Our photos came out PERFECT. My husband and I are a bit shy in front of the camera (and so are our families) and she took such good care of us and got really beautiful natural shots. I don’t have enough good things to say about Kendra. It can be rare to find someone so talented who is also such a joy and pleasure to be around.

Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

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!

Katy & I met and worked side by side for The Vasquez's wedding back in November of 2023. Right from the get go, Katy was easy to work with. As a wedding DJ I've seen it all. I noticed that Katy worked very well with newly weds and myself. Very fun and easy to work with. We now follow each other on social media and stay in touch hoping to work together again in the future.

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 the finest photographers I’ve ever worked with and, without question, the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. When our wedding plans drastically changed amidst COVID, we both agreed that our photographers were the top priority for our small ceremony. Bethany and Dan were incredible from the very first phone call. They were accommodating, flexible, and thorough. They are so clearly dedicated to making every client’s wedding day beautiful and special. They have a natural rapport that makes them so easy to work with and they even offer a survey to ensure they tailor their work to you. But, I feel the best summation of my very high opinion of them was right before I walked down the aisle. Bethany snapped a quick picture of me and let me have a glance on my way out. That one picture was worth every single penny.

The thought of posing for pictures made us both nervous, but Katelyn has a calming presence. We wanted our photos to be genuine, mostly not staged, and Katelyn was the perfect fit. She didn't just take pictures; she captured our essence. And she was so patient, and dedicated, both during the wedding planning and during the day of (in addition to a very nice engagement photo-shoot!). From the get-go, Katelyn was all in. She spent time getting to know us, understanding that we were a bit camera-shy, and scouting out locations to get the best shots. She suggested poses that didn't feel like poses at all—they were just us, being us, with a little guidance. On the day of our wedding, Katelyn navigated our outdoor setting with professionalism. She blended into the background, all while snapping away and capturing our moments—moments we were too caught up in the day to see. Seeing our photos for the first time, we were blown away. They weren't just beautiful, they were authentically us. Katelyn took our quirky traits and tender looks and turned them into art, and captured a great party in amazing detail. There were a few unplanned moments during the party (the Horah, etc), that happened in a blink of an eye, and Katelyn managed to capture them perfectly!

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.

Her photography not only captured the day's spirit but also all the sudden instances that now help us recall how emotional it was. Her attention to detail and her eye for angles, lighting, and composition are uncanny. We'll look at these photos for years and will forever be thankful to Megan for putting her heart and soul into everything she does, including our wedding.

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!!

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.

Hi I'm Kyle, a Chicago based wedding photographer. I am a romantic at heart and a sucker for a love stories. I strive to get to understand my couples and create images that represent them as authentically as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
1. Kyle is a true professional - A lot of photographers are great at taking photos but bad a business (Project management, sending you reminders, dealing with difficult family members, coordinating with other vendors, etc.). Kyle has a background in business and I can tell. Feels like I would have him on a consulting project. He works on timelines with you. He gives you firm deadlines, good client management skills. 2. Kyle is good at taking photos - Yup, simple but he takes great photos. I won't get into the weeds but he definitely has some dark and moody ones but some with lighter tones. He does your traditional family portraits, fun photos on the dance floor, but he'll mix in some photojournalistic ones and ones you would expect in a magazine. He was quick to edit and send us photos after the wedding. We didn't have to wait too long. 3. Kyle is fun to work with, he's reliable. He made my wife feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. That's huge. It's your wedding day and you want to trust someone. Someone like Kyle. 4. He serves as more than a partner throughout the day and months leading up to the wedding than just a photographer. There is a reason he charges a bit more than some other photographers 5. Personality-wise he was a great medium and I liked it. He's not too bold that he takes over the wedding and distracts from your big day, but he's bold enough to tell people what to do and get the right shots he needs. 6. I would recommend him!

Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling.

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.

I searched for a photographer to capture my surprise proposal to my then-girlfriend and am I glad I found Laurie. 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.

My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

Booking Grace was the best thing we did for our September 30th wedding (besides getting married of course). We connected instantly... and that is speaking on her bubbly, comforting, and caring personality. My husband and I have never been in front of a lens prior to engagement photos & our wedding, and after seeing our photos you would think we were SUPER MODELS (not kidding). Her work is absolutely breath taking, 99% of my wedding photos look like they came straight out of a magazine... the other 1% she caught some of the BEST, hysterical, memories that came from lots of alcohol, pizza, and the dance floor which we are very grateful for.

Prior to the wedding day, she communicated openly with me about everything and made sure I was ready to go. She provided me with example timelines to help plan my day which was extremely helpful!!! 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. She was my number one supporter through the whole day! I just can’t boast about her enough. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend her to capture your special moments. You seriously won’t regret it.

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.
