Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Asheville, NC

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!

Adrian Etheridge Photography

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Once in a lifetime occasions call for professional experience and peace of mind knowing that when those unforgettable moments arise, they’ll be beautifully preserved forever. When I’m shooting a wedding, my first and foremost goal is to listen. I understand that not everyone wants the same style of wedding, and that big of an occasion is far too important for “One Size Fits All” approach. What I offer is my photo-journalistic style of candid portraiture combined with over a decade of extensive knowledge of post processing and color grading to capture and create a beautiful mood and style that will carry on for a lifetime.

Stephan Pruitt Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was fun, accommodating, and easy, and they worked with us to ensure our vision was captured. The quality of their work was beautiful, with a natural, fun aesthetic that perfectly matched the style of our wedding. We would highly recommend Stephan Pruitt Photography to any couple looking for talented, personable wedding photographers.

Lacey Renae Photography 

5.0

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Lacey is a world-travelled photographer originally from the midwest. This is a woman and Vet owned business. Her strength is primarily about seeing- the composition, the light, the dynamics between the people she is photographing. Portraits have a lean toward that as well, with a push toward the bonds between people. By working to get clients to interact, the images made reflect the connection between individuals as well as the self.

Lacey was so easy to work with and we love the results. We did not have much time to pull together our tiny wedding (we eloped), and we were lucky to find her. She was creative, professional, and just fun to be around. Highly recommend her and her work.

Asheville, NC

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

Working with Mike was an absolute dream. My partner and I are not people who feel comfortable in front of a camera. Mike completely changed that - although we had never met in person before, Mike felt like an old friend. He had the utmost patience in dealing with our wild family members before we arrived and captured every moment completely perfectly. Mike was so intentional about every shot and was incredible about getting all of the nature-inspired, detail-oriented shots that I wanted. Every time I look back at my wedding album, I'm brought to joyful tears just seeing how perfectly captured every raw emotion was. At our reception, guests couldn't stop raving about how personable and easy to work with Mike was. We had a very "free-flowing" party and Mike was able to round-up everyone and get all of our needed family and friend shots - an impossible task! My partner and I just don't have enough good things to say about the entire experience, Mike as a person, and the beautiful pictures that we ended up with. I look back on our photos and know that I will forever have memories of the moody, "Pinterest-board-inspired" wedding of my dreams!

Love in Color Photography

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

"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. After photographing 200+ couples of all shapes, sizes, & colors -- I can still say it is my favourite thing to do in the universe. People are my JAM! I love people & their wonderful uniqueness. 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.

Beautiful work that captures both big and small moments; capturing expressions of overwhelming joy, love and tenderness. Works to understand what is important to each person, family or couple being photographed and brings out the best in everyone.

Asheville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style

Hi, I’m Julianna, a photographer with a passion for moments that matter most. With over 7 years of professional experience, my style blends the timeless artistry of cinema with the authenticity of photojournalism. I document your day as it unfolds naturally, while my cinematic eye ensures every frame is worthy of a film still. My clients often say that I make them feel comfortable, that I’m more like a friend than a vendor, and that my work captures emotions they didn’t even realize they were feeling.

Julianna was the photographer I was certain I wanted to use even before I was engaged to my now husband. Once engaged, I reached out to her less than a week after the proposal. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and I am so beyond happy with our decision to have had her as our wedding photographer. She is SO talented and creative and does such amazing storytelling in her photography. Having our photos tell the story of our wedding day was so important to us and Julianna did such a perfect job capturing every moment and emotion perfectly and beautifully. You cannot go wrong with booking Julianna for your wedding. Aside from her talented work, she is hands down such a genuine and kind person. She made such a comfortable environment during both our engagement shoot and wedding photos, making sure we were comfortable in all of our photos and at ease. She's so easy to talk to, always understanding, and always has a positive energy. We love her so, so much & we highly recommend her!!

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.

Hi, I'm Renee Leigh, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Asheville, NC. I'm passionate about capturing real, candid moments and all of the beautiful details that make your love story unique. As a destination wedding photographer, I have the joy and experience of photographing couples all across the U.S., and I'm always ready to travel wherever your love takes you. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen on your wedding day. I look forward to creating something timeless together!

I am so pleased with my experience using Renee as our wedding photographer. She scouted out the venue ahead of time to study the landscape, lighting, and finds points of interest for the photos. She set very clear expectations and instructions for what she needed for the day. She delivered exactly the types of photos we asked for. Additionally, she was adaptable and ready for what the day brought (weather changes, fun antics with guests, moments getting ready, etc.) and used a creative approach to capture those moments in the best way. During the day I found her to be a strong ally and easy companion- very helpful, brought good energy, and was intuitive to what the groom and I needed. She was always there at the right times, yet would seamlessly float away to give us space. She felt more like a friend than a vendor. Highly recommend!

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.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.
