Your wedding photography should feel as unforgettable as the day itself—filled with emotion, depth, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make it yours. My approach blends editorial artistry with real, heartfelt storytelling—so you get the iconic, cinematic shots and the quiet, unscripted moments in between. With a mix of film and digital photography, I create images that feel nostalgic yet modern, timeless yet full of life. Whether you're celebrating in a historic estate, a backyard under the stars, or halfway across the world, I’m here to capture it with care, intention, and an eye for the details that matter most.

Skyler has been nothing short of an absolute dream to work with! She shot our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a boudoir shoot. She has been incredibly kind and caring, even taking the time to reach out to us after we were hit by Helene. Her work is beautiful!! She was willing to adapt to the different styles we were wanting to try out for our pictures, and we were so, so pleased by every single photo. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and somebody we felt like we could trust throughout the craziness of getting married. She was worth every. single. penny! I am so grateful that we were able to not only get such great pictures of one of the biggest days for us, but that we got to meet Skyler and her husband in the process :-) I’m already scheming up reasons to have another photoshoot!!

  • Serves Cornelius, NC

I pour my heart into every photo I take, blending a classic style with a unique touch. People inspire the stories I tell, and to truly understand a story, you need to know the people behind it. Each person brings a fresh perspective on love and life. Without the wonderful individuals in front of my lens, my photos lose their meaning and authenticity. I’m here to not just capture your story, but to tell it beautifully. That’s why I love photography.

Jordan has always been so easy to work with! She makes you feel at ease right off the bat, has prompts and ideas ready to go for every comfort level, and gave really clear direction for me and my husband. We’re pretty much down for anything, and Jordan had some fun and different things for us to try as well that had great results! We had a blast, got amazing photos out of it, and would absolutely shoot with Jordan again!

I’ve had the opportunity to photograph many commencement ceremonies, birthday parties, and church events as well as tons of portrait sessions. However, weddings always give me butterflies. The beautiful details, the people, and the music makes me fall in love each time. There’s something special about witnessing love as it’s most authentic moment. The day goes by so fast, and I am able to freeze every tear, every laugh, and every kiss with just one click. But it’s truly more than that, it’s about creating an experience that you and your loved ones will never forget.

Kailli from Eleven 03 Photography was nothing short of amazing! From the very beginning, she was extremely responsive, patient and respectful in all of our communications. The quality of her work was absolutely incredible - the photos she captured of our wedding day were absolutely perfect. Kailli listened to exactly what we wanted and guided us through the poses, making us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Everything I asked for, she provided and more. Kailli was professional yet down-to-earth, and our pictures turned out gorgeous. We cannot wait to use her services again!

My name is Jonathan Ardila, born in Ecuador but lived most of my life in the United States. I’m a son, husband, father and above all, a believer in Jesus Christ. Thefulnessthereof Photography was inspired by the bible verse that captures all of creation. "The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein"; whether you photograph the heavens, the ocean depths or anything in between, you could only capture a very small particle of God’s amazing and vast creation.

Photography has always been a part of my life in some shape or form. As a young girl, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a photographer. I wasn't sure what kind I would be or how I would get there, but here I am as a wedding and elopement photographer. I value serving my couples first, and creating stunning images second. Capturing your unique love story is so important to me. In every session, I want you guys to fall in love all over again. My goal that you leave your session with a smile on your face and a heart overflowing with joy. It is always a pleasure to serve couples in love!

Looking for a photographer who not only takes great pictures but is also professional, easy to work with, and able to capture the essence of your wedding day? LOOK NO FURTHER. You have found her ! When I saw Catherine's work on Instagram I knew her style captured everything I wanted. When it came time for my now husband to pop the question, I wrote down Catherine's information as my top photographer choice. She then captured the biggest "yes" of my life, and I KNEW I needed her on my wedding day to continue the vision. The entire time up until the wedding, Catherine communicated with me and made sure she knew the vision I had for my wedding day. Behind the lens, on our wedding day, she was constantly encouraging us and managed to have ALL of the family photos flow seamlessly. Within the next few days, I was getting photos back and in just a month my whole album was ready! Talk about a quick turnaround!! We cannot recommend Catherine enough, and we hope she gets the opportunity to capture the memories of your day so you can have thee most beautiful photos of a lifetime hanging in your home.

Born and raised in London, England and at home in Charlotte, NC, I've always been a romantic at heart. I am drawn to sentimental moments, gorgeous atmospheres, and beautiful light. My work is frequently described as fashionable, timeless and emotive, but to me my photographs are simply reflections of the marriage of life and art that is always present around me. I have a passion for film, antique cameras, and handmade prints, and I’m compelled by an inextinguishable pursuit for meaningful photography and the artful life.

As a seasoned wedding photographer with over seven years of experience, I specialize in capturing vibrant, timeless, and authentic love stories. My passion for photography stems from my love for people and their unique journeys. Engaged to my fiancée, Sarah, I understand the importance of celebrating love in all its forms. My goal is to make your wedding day seamless and joyful, blending professional excellence with a down-to-earth approach. I strive to be more than just a photographer—I aim to be a friend who enhances your wedding experience, capturing every special moment with care.

Lelia Angelique photography went above my expectations! Angelique was so great to work with on the wedding day, she actually even helped my mom zip me into my second dress because the zipper got stuck! My only critic was that I felt a bit rushed and overwhelmed with family photos and hurt some people’s feelings but honestly that was my own fault. Angelique provides a form to fill out in advanced for family photos and I think had I wrote more than the recommended photo count, she definitely would have made it work. She really is “on your side” in wedding day. She even was able to edit photos during her dinner break, so we had sneak peaks immediately. Post wedding day, Angelique worked with me to select my favorite photos and ordered a really nice wedding photo album and a couple prints for us. When I asked for a couple re-edits she was so quick and polite about it. Truly would recommend her to anyone!

Love Knot Photography

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

I began this journey several years ago (formerly as Brandi-Lee Photography). Recently, I had decided to transform my brand into a more intentional & creative art. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film. I like to consider myself as a visual storyteller.

Overall, having her by our side on our special day was a joy. We could not have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

Our work involves a lot of interaction between you and your partner: the way you smile, hug, laugh and goof off together. We use natural light to create artistically genuine moments. Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor. We're not someone who simply ‘gets the job done’— We're with you every single step of the way, from the first time we talk until your images are delivered.

From the first time we connected with Now And Forever Photography, their communication was quick and thorough. The quality of their work was exquisite - the photos they captured of our wedding day were absolutely amazing and beautiful. They did an incredible job of capturing all the key moments, from the ceremony to the reception, and truly documented every important detail of our special day. We feel so lucky to have had them as our photographers, and they did an absolutely amazing job that we will cherish forever.

Hey y'all, I'm so happy you are here! I'm Payton. I'm based in Asheville, NC but will travel to wherever your love takes you. When I'm not on a photoshoot I'm either traveling, hiking, or spending time with my family. I have been a photographer for 10 years and photographing weddings for 5. I have a BFA in Photography from RMCAD. I LOVE getting to know you and helping you plan out every minute detail of your wedding day. My passion is capturing the essence of my couple's love, every story is uniquely you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Ashlyn and Sea and Shea was amazing from start to finish! Ashlyn from the booking process through delivery of our edited wedding photos has been a joy to work with. Our time has been so great with Ashlyn and her fun and bubbly personality really keeps the long days of photos light and carefree. We were kind of against doing engagement photos but after a couple of hours running around downtown Charleston and really getting to know her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera it did help tremendously on wedding day. Also, our engagement photos turned out AMAZING! Day of wedding, Ashlyn and her team were professional and on top of it. She got all the shots I wanted and more and our end result photos could not have turned out more perfect :) we are still in awe at the results. Not only do you get an amazing photographer and great photos but she is reasonably priced as well, perfect combination! 10/10 recommend! Now our problem is we found over 500 photos to get printed and put around our house, which is a little excessive but they are all so good we can't decide.

YOU'RE ENGAGED!! Congrats and thanks for stopping by! My name is Jordan Scott, the Owner and Photographer of Wax + Whale Co. Photography! I'm a mama bear to a little guy named Vander Nash! Wife to my best friend of 12 years strong! I love drinking all the coffee, and LOVE! I have been doing photography for several years now and I am absolutely and forever in love with being invited to capture and share those raw intimate moments. The ones most people overlook, whether it's the snuggles, giggles, dancing, or just enjoying each others company. My goal is to capture and display that love and happiness in it's most raw and authentic form!

Jordan made our day so special. She’s real. She makes pictures easy and fun. As someone who doesn’t enjoy taking pictures of just myself, she made me feel comfortable and beautiful at my bridal pictures. She’s amazing
