We are Len + Judy, a husband-wife team. As award winning travel photographers, wedding photographers specializing in destination weddings, plus commercial and portrait, and lifetyle shoots, we provide service second to none. Since we only schedule 10-12 weddings each year, we commit to you the time you deserve. We do not book more than one wedding each weekend. We want to exceed your expectations.

Len and Judy were AMAZING! From start to finish it was an incredible process. Having two photographers instead of one made for such an unbelievable photo experience on my wedding day, as they were able to capture moments that a solo photographer otherwise would never have been able to get. They truly understand the vibe of a couple almost instantly and they work with you to make such a special day come to life on film. The photos are absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't have asked for a better team and I have already recommended them to other friends of mine who are getting married.

Two small town photographers that absolutely love, love!

They pick AMAZING places to photograph you if you don't know where to go and the photos turn out INCREDIBLE. We won't be going to anyone else for photos. If you need someone willing to go the extra mile, it's Sarah Dooley Photography.

On our wedding day, she ensured everything ran flawlessly - running a tight ship but never making it feel stressful or rushed. After the event, all of my family even commented on how great she was.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

Atlanta, GA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,845
  • Serves Highlands, NC

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Our experience with OLAS was amazing from start to finish! Although we didn't work directly with the photographer until the day of the wedding (except for a zoom call where we got to meet her and talk about our vision), everyone on the team was super helpful and willing to answer any questions we had. I told Hannah (Event Planner for OLAS) over the phone that I thought they were some huge, conglomerate business because all of their emails and outreach seemed so put together and professional, so I was so surprised to hear that it was really just a small team of kick-a** women that are behind all of this. I love supporting female-owned and run businesses, and this truly seems to be one of the best. I wouldn't be surprised if they expanded a ton in the near future, so I am glad we got in when it was such a small and intimate team. You can tell they love what they do and really want to make your day special! Our photographer was also amazing on the wedding day, and even though we hadn't interacted with her too much before, she made us feel super comfortable the entire day and really seemed to love working for OLAS, which was great to see!

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Holly Castillo Photography on our wedding day. Holly was a delight to work with: friendly, relaxed, and knowledgeable. During the ceremony and the reception, Holly quietly and unobtrusively snapped away, capturing some truly wonderful and emotional images. When it came time for posed group and couple photos, Holly was efficient and communicated direction clearly but didn't give the air of being rushed, so everyone was able to feel at ease in what can sometimes be an awkward experience. I'm hoping not to have another wedding of my own, but I would book Holly again in a heartbeat if I did!

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

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

I cannot express how precious and special the photos Sarah captured for me and my fiancé are. Sarah has an eye for capturing moments we would have never thought to memorialize (e.g. walking down the street, the little moments of laughter between eating). Her photojournalistic style tells our story from beginning to end. Our favorite photos are the ones that involve movement, whether it's my fiancé lifting me up or me swishing my dress in the middle of the street. There are no uncomfortable forced poses, only candid secret moments. We cannot recommend working with Sarah enough. She is SO kind, patient, personable, and talented. She is willing to listen to all of your ideas and provide valuable input. She has worked in a variety of settings and it shows in her artwork!

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

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

After being a bridesmaid in multiple weddings and being the last of all of my female cousins/sisters to get married, I first hand witnessed the joys and the disappointments that came along with wedding photography. When looking for a photographer Brittany met all of my expectations and needs where I was at. I never felt as if I was being a burden or bothering her whenever we were doing our wedding planning. She helped me plan out my timeline for the day so that we are able to capture all of the images that were on my wish list. She was able to take my wedding photography wishes and ideas and feed off of them to capture some absolutely stunning images. She never made me feel uncomfortable, she was extremely supportive, and had a wonderful personality. I truly cannot recommend her enough for your wedding experience!

Erika of Erika El Photography is an adventurous elopement and intimate wedding photographer based in North Carolina and Colorado. Here to help you minimize stress and soak in every ounce of your day.

Erika has such a fun-loving and sweet personality, that it would have been hard *not* to turn into friends! I've been lucky enough to see Erika's work first-hand as both a bride AND as a photographer who's worked with her! For my own wedding - even despite flying from out of state for our event, Erika was fresh-faced and good-humored, and did an excellent job at making us feel seen, loved, and at home in front of the camera. Since the wedding, she's also done a few portrait sessions for me and my husband (including a destination session for our 5 year anniversary)! As a photographer - I've both worked for Erika, and have hired her to work with me. She literally did such an amazing job at my own wedding that I now seek out her assistance whenever I need another photographer to come along on a destination wedding. TLDR; trust a photographer that other photographers hire. :)

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

I love being a wedding photographer in Asheville. Spending time with couples one on one to develop a personal connection and make them feel comfortable is what I love! I want everyone to feel like they are in their comfortable and natural environment when they are with me. Capturing people’s natural emotions and connections with those they love is why we take photographs, right? So let’s get comfortable and make the process stress free! When you hire me you get me. I will always be the person that you work with, from the first email, through your future sessions. No outsourcing photographers here!

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.

HIGHLY recommend Raven! She did an amazing job a shoot with me and my husband! She was so fun and made us feel so comfortable!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can say with 100% certainty, there is no one who could’ve captured our wedding better than Laren. I don’t even know where to begin, but I’ll do my best! From the very first conversation, Laren proved to be professional, warm, engaged, thoughtful, smart, artistic, and I could tell she absolutely loved what she did. I was drawn to her work originally because of it’s cinematic, timeless, and intimate quality--exactly what we were looking for. She strikes the perfect balance of capturing the small, beautiful moments between people, and showcasing the venue & event in it’s entirety. My husband and I have never done professional photos before, so we were surprised at how comfortable Laren made us feel in front of the camera. She encouraged us to be goofy, have fun, make each other laugh, and be playful without feeling forced whatsoever. She made us look beautiful, but never made us look like anything other than ourselves. What more could you want on your wedding day? Underneath all the artistry and kindness, she was also professional, prompt, an incredible wrangler, and flexible, and absolutely went beyond the “call of duty.” She moved swiftly but never made anyone feel rushed. I didn’t even notice her during the ceremony and reception, and she captured a million and one special moments—she’s magic!! Laren truly made us feel like old Hollywood stars. I am so incredibly thankful we chose each other for this special day, and I cannot recommend her enough. Book Laren and you will truly, truly be so impressed and grateful.

Led by owner and accomplished photographer/filmmaker Benjamin, our dedicated team of talented photographers and videographers excels at transforming your special day into timeless memories. In thanks to high demand from all of our amazing couples, we have established incredible teams in Michigan, Tennessee and North Carolina!! I can't wait to hear from you and learn more about your wedding.

When I began my hunt for vendors for my 2/17/24 wedding, I stumbled upon Promani. Planning a wedding is, obviously, stressful, but Promani made me feel heard and supported every step of the way. Austin, our videographer, was so lovely. He was high energy, kind, and so transparent about what the experience would look like. He checked, double checked, and triple checked that we were on the same page the entire experience. Lola, our photographer, was just as incredible! She seamless grabbed shot after shot, getting right in the middle of the action, magically never drawing too much attention to her presence. The cherry on top was the stunning media delivered only 3 weeks after the big day. If you go with Promani, you certainly won’t regret it.

My love for photography is my passion. I take it with me everywhere I go, I capture pictures of my daily life and I print those pictures once a month, I know it will be worth it when I'm old and look back at life. Being a wedding photographer is a very emotional/technical thing, it is a challenge to create technically correct, well-composed, perfectly lit, beautiful images all day long, every weekend. Wedding photography is not for everyone, but it's for me! I love that challenge. Bring it on!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the day that we met Andrea, we knew she was the one we wanted to photograph our special day! She was super attentive, helpful, and fun to work with. My husband and I tend to be more awkward with getting our pictures taken, but Andrea made us feel comfortable and at ease. Between our engagement and wedding, we loved our pictures. We had soo many that we loved that it was SO hard to narrow it down for our wedding album. Andrea was super helpful when it came to choosing our photos and made sure that our album was telling a story of our magical day. I would 1000% recommend Andrea to anyone. She was originally in the bay area, but relocated to Georgia during the pandemic. Even with this, she made working with her remotely a breeze. We will definitely fly her out and book her for our maternity shoot when it comes the time!

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

"Passionate" doesn't really begin to describe how I feel about being a photographer. It's more like, who I am as a person. Photographs are able to speak a million words in a moment when words may fail.

When two people get together in a thing called "love"? Well, I just can't help but want to be a part of it! Capturing those obvious or subtle displays of affection between two people in true, heartfelt love is as necessary as oxygen in my lungs.

Wow, we could not have been more impressed with Brian and Anna! They were recommended to use by our wedding planner, and my first interview with Brian was enough for me to be blown away by his professionalism, creativity, and photography. We got our pictures back quickly, and loved every one. From family portraits to candid moments and "detail" shots, we got everything we wanted, plus some shots we didn't know we wanted! Brian and Anna were given very little "must have" shots, and really impressed us with how they worked to capture every amazing moment of that day. Both Brian and Anna were easy to talk to, flexible, and detail-oriented, which is crucial when hiring someone to capture your special day. Brian presented us with many package options to assure we got exactly what we wanted. The style of photography was unique and and wonderful, and fit our aesthetic perfectly. Thank you both so much for the amazing job you did!

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

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

The only word I could think to describe Caliyah is perfect. She listened to what we wanted, we had a vision, and we worked together to make it happen. Her photos are not the kind that seem overly edited, they genuinely capture the raw emotions of your wedding day. Which I appreciated in the moment but will definitely appreciate in the years to come looking back on our pictures. She gives a clear timeline for how long we should expect to get pictures back and she has been correct and timely every single time. She is personable, easy to talk to, and overall just a good person in general. She rocked and I cannot recommend her enough!

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!

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

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