  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Etowah, NC

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
Eugene is not only an exceptional wedding photographer but also a kind human who handled our rainy and crazy day with amazing calm and professionalism. Despite the weather challenges, Eugene remained composed and managed to capture every special moment perfectly. His ability to stay focused and bring out the best in every shot made our day truly memorable. His communication before, during and after the wedding is top notch. We are so grateful for him!

Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Etowah, 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!

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures. I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

He is absolutely kind, energetic, and professional throughout both of our shoots. ( we loved our engagement session so much we booked him right away for our wedding ! ) The photos and video came out beyond our wildest dreams. For two people who don't love being in front of the camera, I don't know how he does what he does. I never felt overly aware of the camera or like I was being posed. Yet somehow he pulled off the most amazing and epic photos and final video! Almost unbelievable. 10/10 recommend. The best around!

----------- Please email me or text me for inquiries :). Zola charges money each time I respond to an inquiry on here. (My number and email are on my website)-----About--> Erin Jay Wedding Photography brings 13+ years of expertise to your special day. Based in Asheville, we specialize in local and destination weddings, focusing on capturing the unique essence and emotions of each couple. Our passion is crafting timeless, beautiful photographs that tell your love story. Whether in the quaint streets of Asheville or a dream destination, we promise to encapsulate the joy and intimacy of your wedding, leaving you with memories to cherish forever.

We are extremely thankful for Erin! She came in as though we have been great friends for many years. She introduced herself and went right to work. She referred to the list we discussed of photos we wanted and added numerous additional suggestions that helped us to get some amazing wedding day photos. My husband is not one to show a lot of emotion on camera, but Erin ensured that we did actions that he was not focused on the camera, but just enjoying the moments which allowed us to catch some very beautiful and memorable wedding day photos. She took many different positions, areas, and lighting to ensure we were getting the best options despite the weather not cooperating on the day. It's important to note that right before our wedding is when WNC was seriously affected by flooding and catastrophic damages. Even though Erin lives in an area that was heavily affected, she maintained communication, and while we were worried about her safety, she reassured us she'd still be available for our wedding. If that doesn't say professionalism, I don't know what else to say! She was very kind and thoughtful, and her calming and positive energy helped keep my anxiety at bay on what could have been an an incredibly stressful day. When it came time to preview the photos, Erin and I communicated about style options, and Erin showed available options to ensure the photos were everything I could hope for. Overall, we couldn't have been any happier with Erin and her photography. She is amazing and professional and did a wonderful job. And the photos were more than we ever could have hoped for. If you are looking for a photographer for your special day, there is no doubt in my mind that Erin will exceed every need, want, and hope you could possibly have.

Adrian Etheridge Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Etowah, NC

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!

I’m Andy Wickstrom and I’ll help you bring your wedding day adventure to life, but document it all in a style that feels authentic, modern and full of emotion. With over 40 five-star Google Reviews, and more than a decade of photography experience documenting adventurous couples and outdoor athletes, I’m stoked and ready to find creative ways to tell the story of your epic day.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Andy as our wedding photographer! From the start, he was very helpful as we laid out a plan for our day - giving us so many great recommendations for the area we wanted to have our ceremony, as well as vendors from the Asheville area. This alone was wonderful, but we were blown away by Andy's flexibility and willingness to work with us when we had to completely change our wedding plans at the last minute due to the devastation left by Hurricane Helene in the WNC area. We ended up moving everything to Colorado, and we are so grateful to the hours Andy put in to find great locations, research how weather could affect us and specific locations at the time of year we were there, as well as thinking of details to make our guests, and ourselves, more comfortable when we weren't thinking of these things at the last minute. Our wedding day in Colorado was absolutely perfect, and the photos are incredible, and we truly feel like so much of that was successful because of Andy's assistance. From the logistics, to being a fantastic photographer committed to getting the best, most beautiful shots for us, to also just being an all around wonderful, kind person to interact with - we can't recommend him enough. Thank you Andy for everything!!

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 took our engagement and wedding photos in 2021, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. He took us to a private mountain for our engagement photos, and caught the golden hour and sunset at the perfect time - they're some of our favorite photos to this day! Our wedding was the same, Stephan knew the venue where we got married really well and took us to the best spots for the best shots. Payment and communication was also really smooth, and we still keep in touch with Stephan today! Highly recommend him for any wedding/engagement photos needs in Western NC!

I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember, always drawn to genuine moments and natural light. As a wedding photographer based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, I’m inspired by both the landscape and the love stories I get to capture. What drives me is connection—between couples, families, and the fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered. I’m passionate about creating timeless, emotion-filled images that reflect who you truly are—not just how your day looked, but how it felt. From the quiet joy of a first look to golden hour laughter, I’m honored to preserve those memories.

Hiring Josh as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We knew from the start he was the one take our pictures! He was warm, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. He didn’t just show up and snap photos — he really took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and make sure every detail was captured beautifully. I had wanted every little detail captured & he did just that. Josh’s attention to detail was incredible. He noticed things we never would have thought of and made sure each shot was thoughtfully composed. Whether it was fixing a stray hair, adjusting lighting, or waiting for just the right moment, he truly went above and beyond. He was very patient & took his time to get the right pictures. Our photos are absolutely stunning — natural, emotional, and full of life. He captured the little in-between moments, the big emotional ones, and everything in between. It’s like we get to relive our day every time we look through them. I love looking back at our pictures & did I mention how fast turn around time was!? We got these pictures back so fast!! Josh was calm, kind, and blended in so seamlessly that even our guests complimented how great he was. He made us feel so comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. He also captured moments I didn’t expect and I’m so glad to have those to look back on! We are so grateful for his time, care, and incredible talent. If you're looking for someone who will not only take amazing photos but truly care about your wedding — Josh is your guy! 10/10 Highly Recommend!!
