  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Charlotte, NC

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

My husband and I flew Golden Hour Images to Utah for our wedding and it was worth every single penny!! Golden Hour Images was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was super consistent and they listened to everything we wanted. The photographer, Jenna, did an amazing job and just her sneak peaks had my husband, me and my family absolutely balling. She did the best job at capturing all our sensitive moments and made us feel and look absolutely beautiful throughout the day. Jenna listened to exactly what we wanted and exceeded all of our expectations - our wedding photos are stunning and we will cherish them forever. We cannot recommend Golden Hour Images enough!

Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Charlotte, 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!

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!

I don’t even have the words to describe how grateful I am to have had Sarah be a huge part of our day. Not only did she take the most IMPECCABLE photos, but she was there throughout the day to help with little things like placing the veil in the right way. She has a knack of catching candidates of some of the sweetest moments that would easily be forgotten if they weren’t captured. She is reliable, thoughtful, a clear communicator, and she got our photos back SO quickly. I could go on about her all day - you will absolutely not regret picking her as your photographer.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not love our engagement and wedding pictures more! From our first meeting with McKenna she got our vibe and made us both feel comfortable. We don't love pictures of ourselves but McKenna's shots captured our personalities and love for each other and made us feel so good. The only trouble is narrowing down which shots we want to get printed to display in our house! You will not go wrong with 1828 Collective and McKenna!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I decided to elope to NYC from Scotland in 2022. Jo linked us to her Instagram profile following a post on a Facebook group and we instantly fell in love with her whole vibe. Her work stunning. We set up a video call to discuss what we wanted from the photos from our special day - Jo just got it and got us almost instantly. She knew NYC and where to get our pictures done but also allowed us to collaborate and explore on the day. Jo is passionate about her profession and passionate about giving you the best possible experience, flowing with love and positivity throughout. It’s super relaxed and fun. I wish she lived closer - she would absolutely be our go to for all our big life events! We wish we had been able to get Jo to do some of her film shots as well as they are absolutely STUNNING! She was able to get our sneak peak pictures to us quickly and wanted to absolutely nail it for the rest of the gallery and boy did she nail it. We genuinely could not imagine our wedding day without her capturing it for us 3

Lee and his team are an absolute blessing to have on your wedding day. I found them through the Knot.com. I instatntly fell in love with his style of photography. Not only that but when we were first looking for photographers Lee called me and we spike for an hour and a half about expectations and whay kind of wedding etc. No other photographer i looked at did this, I really appreciated the time he took out of his day to spend talking to us. Fast forward to wedding day Lee and his team made us super comfortable and helped to make our wedding magical. Lee is so easy to work with and definitely knows how to get shy couples out of their comfort zone. Lee not only helped capture our wedding but also us as a couple with an engagement shoot as well. I have never felt so comfortable around a photographer before. Not only is he amazing to work with but his work is equally as amazing. I absolutely love every single one of my pictures and cannot pick a favorite. Not only are the pictures amazing we got our sneak peeks back the same day! It wasn't just 1 or 2 pictures either it was an entire album. That was an absolutely amazing surprise to wake up to the next morning. I would recommend Alchemist Weddings for any event you may have! We will definitely be using him for photos in the future. Much thanks and gratitude, Claire and Bobby Olsen

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan. We found Jonathan through a friend, and he shot both our engagement photos and our wedding! Throughout the entire process, Jonathan wasn't just our photographer -- we really felt like he has become a dear friend to us. When we wanted to film our ceremony at the last minute due to family who weren't able to travel, Jonathan and Candice said, "No problem!" and filmed our ceremony, and got us the video within a week of the wedding, too, so our grandmas can watch. We will always treasure that he did that for us. Jonathan is incredibly talented and takes beautiful candid photos as well as the perfect posed photos we needed with our family. He is incredibly prompt in responding to questions, and delivers photos at an incredible speed too! We were able to view so many wonderful photos just 2 days after our wedding, and it's just the previews! And hey, if you are throwing a PARTY, Jonathan's dance floor photos cannot be beat. TL;DR: He is a gift to wedding photographers everywhere, we love Jonathan.

Pretty much a professional sucker for love. Charlotte, NC Wedding Photographer & Content Creator. Mix of digital and film. My style is evocative, photojournalistic, a dash of editorial. I'm here as your wedding bestie to tell your story photographically, in the most authentic way, with a pinch of curated chaos.

Where do I even begin. Yazmin basically kept my entire sanity during my wedding. She must be a wizard or something because it was a LOT. My husband couldn’t stop talking highly of her and he’s never one to even pay attention - haha!! She not only handled everything with professionalism and grace the entire time, she kept everyone in my family from being overwhelmed and confused as weddings tend to do to people! THE PHOTOS - OMG. I’m NOT one for photos, I hate being behind the camera. (I know everyone says this but seriously, we are so awkward!) She managed to create magic with the little we gave her and for the first time I felt completely comfortable being in photos. I could truly trust her with my vision. We received our sneak peaks the night of the wedding!!! And they were so much more than I could’ve dreamed or hoped for. She knew what she was doing, created the perfect timeline and even with over half of my guests arriving 25 minutes late, she got everything I could have wanted! I will always HIGHLY recommend Yazmin Jade Collective to ANY bride or groom in search. Still in awe. Counting the days until we are able to see the rest of the magic she put into our wedding.

I'm a photographer that was born and raised in LA culture and it definitely allowed me to appreciate all the ART in everyday life. I am new to North Carolina and am so excited to see the ART that I can create in this beautiful state.

My Engagement Photo shoot Review: Flexible to my time schedule and understanding when I had to change engagements photoshoot day. Great quality service; kind and understanding. Worked well and very comfortable with. Super professional on time and prompt. And quality of images amazing. Did just what I wanted, love this photographer. Would recommend her to all who need a photographer. My Wedding Photo Shoot Review: I don't even know where to begin. Monique was one of the best investments of our wedding. After an amazing engagement shoot with Monique the wedding was a breeze. She really makes you feel so at home and comfortable and it truly makes a difference in your photos. She's personable, honest, and has such a distinct and gorgeous photography style. She was easy to work with and went above and beyond her duties; was with us from beginning to end. On the day of our wedding Monique was punctual and worked her tail off. She was there in the morning as I, the bride got ready and stayed until the reception ended, which means she captured every moment. Our photos are so special and we have one of kind shots to remember our perfect day and we have Monique to thank! Everyone cannot get over the pictures, they all say “the photos are so beautiful and vibrant!” I keep getting compliments on them which make me smile so big and make me feel so proud. We thank you forever for capturing our day in such a way that no one else could have. I highly recommend hiring Monique for any engagement and can guarantee she will impress. You must take a look at her site- her works speaks for itself!
