Ivey Photo

Chattanooga, TN

In September 2018, I gave up my career as an attorney to pursue my dream of being a creative entrepreneur. My husband's encouragement to pick up a camera again was the birth of this business. I believe wedding photography is meant to be classic. When you look back on your wedding gallery, I want you to be transported back to the most special moments of your day. I offer complimentary timeline assistance to all of my wedding clients. I believe in creating moments for you to savor rather than just snapping a shot. I want you to get lost in a moment... It's the connection between lovers that I long to capture.

We have experienced working with Paige of Ivey Photo several times over the past few years and she has provided top notch service and spectacular photo content for our business each time. If you are looking for someone to pay attention to every detail, she is your girl!

Kasey + Tyler Rajotte | Co-Head Photographers / Wife + Husband / Dog Parents | With over 14 years of experience snapping the special moments - from happy tears to the questionable dance moves - we know what makes our couples click. // TIMELESS TRUE-COLOR IMAGES FOR THE MADLY IN LOVE. // AWARD-WINNING FINE ART + DOCUMENTARY-STYLE WEDDING + LIFESTYLE SESSION PHOTOGRAPHERS SERVING MINNESOTA (AND BEYOND). [ All-inclusive options available for anywhere within the contiguous United States. // Custom international quotes are available upon request as well. Where are we headed!? ]]

I (Shauncey) have known Kasey and Tyler longer than I have known my husband - a crazy thought! Studio Twelve:52 has been my go-to pet photographer since I got my pugs. Fast-forward to our surprise engagement session - which Kasey and Tyler plotted the logistics with Cory - we knew we wanted to be sure they had availability on the weekend we selected for our wedding. Their portal makes connecting with them easy. And we really appreciated that they have a great experience, but are willing to go along with our vision - like taking pictures on a frozen lake! Kasey and Tyler are very genuine at the end of the day, regardless of photo session type - you can tell they love love, and that is absolutely reflected in their work.

Warsaw, IN
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Charlotte, NC for additional fees

Hey there! I'm Arianna. I started Rare Raven Studio (previously McCormick Design and Photography) back around 2013. I had grown up around cameras and always loved whatever I could get my hands on. Film, digital, video, you name it. It wasn't until I had my daughter that I really started taking anything seriously though. All of the sudden, I had a reason to stay consistent in my documentation. The rest is pretty much history. A few of my favorite things: Darth Vader, the Space Jam soundtrack, traveling, DC comics, Mac & Cheese, chicken marsala, more cheese, serial killer and mythology podcasts, and allll the doggos!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Arianna via Zola. I took a shot messaging an unknown person, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my big day. Her work is beautiful and unforgettable. She’s great to work with, cares about the couple and their needs, and is creative with the venues and couples. We opted for the option for our engagement photos and the Photo Booth. Our guests loved it. Who needs favors, do the Photo Booth instead! Highly recommend her!

5.0

Kennesaw, GA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Charlotte, NC for additional fees

Hannah was born to two people whom she's never met. She was born without a name, without a birthdate, and placed in an orphanage in China. Her journey into photography began with the resolve to honor the unknown history and heritage of the past. Preserving the stories that shape families and those in it has become her life's work. Over the last decade, Hannah has honed her expertise to destination celebrations, traveling to document couples all over the US. She is recognized in nation-wide publications such as BRIDES, Martha Stewart Weddings, Pottery Barn, and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah was the wedding photographer of my dreams! She is so attentive to detail, and she is so organized. She did a lot of research beforehand into my preferences, what were important and memorable items to me, about my family, and who my husband and I are as a couple. She knew that me and my mom are artists and incorporated our art into my wedding photos, which was such a special surprise to me. She herself is an artistic genius and her photographs were more beautiful than I could have imagined. She truly captured the emotions and feelings of the day in her photographs, all done with such a great artistic eye. We had formal portraits but I did not feel like we spent hours taking formal pictures. Hannah also has the kindest heart and such a positive spirit which was such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. We also were so lucky to have her husband as our second photographer. They both truly care about their clients and worked so hard to capture every perfect moment on our wedding day. We will cherish our photographs for a lifetime. I truly cannot be any more grateful that we had Hannah and her husband Corey as our wedding photographers!

We cannot get over how amazing it was working with Ryan. Not only was he punctual on our big day, but he was ALWAYS there to answer our questions leading up to it. He leaned into our equal love of rock music and the photos we sent that inspired us. Ryan deserves to be one of the top wedding photographers in NOLA. He was also just a killer hang. We hope we never have to work with him again for a wedding (lol) but hope to have him out to one of our shows in NOLA to take photos of the band. Loved him!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ish was such an amazing photographer; professional, warm & friendly, and most of all, flexible and adaptable to any and all changes or hiccups. We didn't have any the day of, but he was always willing to work with whatever we gave him, which is so rare in photographers nowadays. So often they have an almost overly-assertive attitude, but Ish knew just how to balance getting the best shots with giving us freedom to ask for pictures we personally wanted. His prices were very reasonable for the market, and his wife Maya was such a sweet support during the whole day. Ish's photos were professional, consistent, and absolutely beautiful, and he has a great sense for the mood of the wedding. I have seen him do darker, moody pictures to our own lighter, brighter ones. I would recommend Ish & Maya Photo and Events to anyone and everyone who asks!!

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.

You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

Kimberly is so great! Not only is she great to be around but she is a very hard worker and a tirelessly creative person. She will have you forgetting that you hired her and you will be convinced she is just there to be your best friend and take awesome photographs along the way. She is that easy to connect with. You will absolutely be thrilled by all aspects of your interaction with her. She is professional when she should be and fun and kind all of the time. Hire her! I would 2nd shoot with her again any chance I got. She is a motivating and inspiring photographer.

We had one photographer and beautiful flowers, during our winter ceremony. We planned a lot of the details ourselves. Innately, that's what I loved about my wedding, and is what I want to capture in yours.

I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple.

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.

And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

Jessica is a joy to have a part of any wedding! Her work is beautiful and she captures the love and emotions of her couples' biggest day. From the beginning of the planning process, until the photos arrive in your inbox, she always puts the couples' needs and wants as her priority. Her organization, professionalism, and calming composure are exactly what couples need out of their photographer!

My name is Cecilia but you can call me Cece. I'm so happy you are here. I'm married to the love of my life and together we have three rambunctious little boys. I'm based in Utah and I LOVE traveling. If your wedding is out of state I would love to come to you. I have always found joy in taking photos. It wasn't until I got pregnant with my first child that I developed a strong passion for photography. When I'm not taking pictures I enjoy exercising, reading books, and hanging out with my family & friends

Cecilia captured our wedding day at Brighton Resort in the mountains. She was so personable and really got to know my fiance and I. She listened to what we wanted and delivered plus so much more! She was even dancing on the dance floor to drum up excitement and capture our friends' energy. I would book her again 10 times over! Best decision!

I have been a photographer since my freshman year of high school when I was given the opportunity to photograph the football team as well as to help with photos for the yearbook. I moved from Delaware to South Carolina in 2009, where I fell in love with the Lowcountry. I specialize in weddings, but I absolutely love capturing an engagement or family session as well! I like to approach any and all sessions with a photojournalistic eye. My goal is always to capture true and authentic moments between couples, families, and friends while providing my clients with gorgeous memories.

The fact we have the same last name made it for me. You’re amazing. Very accommodating and gave clear direction and perspective to the vision we imagined. Please book her for your wedding! You won’t regret it!! Thank you for capturing our special day we’ll cherish forever.

She always has a bright smile on her face and she is so fun to work with. I have witnessed first hand how much her couples and their friends and family enjoy having Joy take their photos! You can see their enjoyment in her photos because Joy captures all of the love and emotion from their big day! I have also been lucky enough to be in front of Joy's camera for a family photo shoot and head shots. Joy made me feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and I absolutely love those photos and I will always cherish them!

She was flexible and open to ideas and she also brought such amazing ideas, along with creative vision and an impeccable sense of style to the table! I recommend Joy to as many of my clients as I can. I get so excited when I learn that we will be working on a wedding together! Not only because I enjoy working with her so much and my clients love working with her too, but also because she is very generous and shares her images of my floral designs with me. It is so important for a florist to have beautiful, professional photos for their portfolio and I know that the photos that receive from Joy will be gorgeous photos that are light filled, romantic and classic!

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling. Capturing moments in your life, freezing those memories, and making them stay alive each time you look at your photos, is truly what makes my time rewarding. There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

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

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.

Adam Kent is the epitome of a wedding photography professional. His unparalleled skills behind the lens are matched only by his engaging and direct personality. Couples immediately feel at ease with him, thanks to his fun demeanor. Adam's adept communication throughout the day is crucial for navigating such significant moments amidst the excitement of friends and family. He seamlessly keeps everyone in sync and on schedule. What sets him apart is not just his amazing photography, but also his consistently impeccable frame composition. Working with Adam guarantees not only stunning visuals but also a smoothly orchestrated and joy-filled wedding day.

She is very attentive to your vision for the shoot, and creates a warm environment where the shoot feels like fun. Our pictures turned out great!

Every person has their own beauty and truth. I see it, understand it, then reveal it through my portraits. I search for the play of light and shadow to carve the image and tell the story of the day... your day... Your story.

We can not speak well enough about Hash from SeaInk. Our wedding photos still get me teary eyed whenever we look at them because of how beautifully our day was documented! He was able to capture the subtle moments that we probably would have not remembered but now that we have the photos, they are forever engrained in our minds. He was so easy to work with -- had a clear communication style and gave us direction when we needed it. He has more of a laid back approach which suited us not only on the day of the wedding but for all correspondence. He was never pushy, always made us feel comfortable. I chose SeaInk because of the emotive imagery, the clean editing style (things actually look how they are supposed to in terms of the colors) and our comfort around Hash as a photographer. Would 1000% choose SeaInk over and over again as our photographer.

I am a 25 year-old newly wed who is passionate about seeking the beauty unveiled in authentic, candid moments. My inspiration comes from wanting to capture the memories you will never forget in a way that reminds you why you will never forget them.

Jordan was an absolute pleasure with work with. I was the day of coordinator for a wedding she was photographing. From start to finish she made sure the brides needs, and mine, were met. Right off the bat, she introduced herself and got to work. She flowed so effortlessly into the day, it was like she was made to be part of the wedding day team. It was such a relief, knowing she didn’t need any direction from me. We communicated throughout the night and no matter the schedule change, she was ready with her camera to capture every special moment. I will be recommending her to all my brides. Jordan is so well seasoned in the photographer field that she made sure that every moment she captured, she only had to capture once. This made sure pictures didn’t take to much time out of the day so everyone including the bride and groom enjoyed their day. She made sure to incorporate every aspect of the wedding within her work as well, no matter how small. I would recommend to her anyone needing photos, no matter the event, due to the fact of how effortless she made everything seem.

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

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

I'm a middle Georgia based Wedding + Elopement photographer, dog lover, chardonnay drinker, avid traveler, & hopeless romantic. I am here for YOU. Let me creatively pause the most important moments in your life so that you can cherish them forever.

Easily the best experience with a photographer by far. We were feeling a little nervous and Serena made us feel so comfortable and our nerve just melted away and we had an amazing time.

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based out of northeast Ohio, but I am down to go wherever the love flows! I love capturing the moments during the wedding day that most couples wouldn't expect to find in their galleries, those moments that you don't even realize are happening around you. I want my couples to be instantly transported into the emotion of their wedding day everything they look through their galleries and albums.

After working with Megan, I would recommend her to all of my clients! She is an absolute joy to work with and helps you feel SUPER comfortable behind the camera.

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

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

I love to capture those special moments that everyone will remember. I started out doing "street style" photos for a boutique in my local area and then ventured into wedding, engagement and family portraits.

Katia’s service was great! She gave us pictures that we had imagined exactly in our head! She is also a lovely girl, will be using her again in the future.
