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
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!

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

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.

Yazmin Jade Collective

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.
