The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Hey There! I’m Hannah - an Intimate Wedding Photographer originally from the coast of Virginia but stumbled my way to the North Georgia Mountains which I now proudly call home! I love finding new adventures while exploring new places! I started my Photography journey capturing families but soon realized that my heart was completely drawn to capturing love & the bond that two people share! I describe my photography style as more Photojournalistic while being heavily focused on capturing more intimate/Romantic & candid shots! I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions between two people on their wedding day!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Brandi and her partner Brian photograph our wedding and I cannot recommend her enough!! She is extremely creative and talented. She got every single shot on our shot list and then some and the pictures turned out amazing. She is extremely kind and fun to work with and there was not a single moment that she wasn’t photographing something. She got all of our details, the traditional pictures, candid shots and some really cool creative shots as well. 10000/10 would recommend her to anyone !!!

MSMP Media was the perfect choice for our wedding. Beyond the fact that their editing style was what we were looking for with bright photos, their team was incredible. We had the pleasure of working with their West Michigan Team. Jordan was fantastic and even got me a small birthday gift because my wedding was on my birthday! It was small details like this that really made our experience so great. She was great at getting us ready for photos with great directions. None of the wedding party were huge "photo" people, but she made us feel comfortable to allow for such great photos. Her eye for shots was fantastic. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from everyone that we have shared them with! Beyond the photos themselves and the actual wedding day, Marisa had great communication. We received sneak peak photos within a day of the wedding and had the entire album less than a month out of the wedding. From what we have been told, this is a great timeline. We are so happy to have booked MSMP!

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.

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!

The shots we said were important such as our dog, she caught, and then stolen moments between my husband and I, our parents, even a facetime with my little brother in the military. She captured it all. Our photos are straight from a movie, we still can not believe when we look at them that it is real and our wedding happened. There is no way to pick a favorite. It was the best day of our lives and she captured it with pure magic, truly like a fairy tale come to life.

Amanda is by far the best photographer I’ve worked with. She and her co shooter Renee are so personable and will put endless effort into making your day perfect. My videographer was late for my first look/ vows. Amanda didn’t hesitate to make sure she got photos, but also recorded it so we’d still be able to have footage. The whole day she went above and beyond to make sure we were getting all the photos we wanted, making sure the groom and I were eating and comfortable, she even jumped on the dance floor to get people dancing and keep the energy high!

Hello, I'm Kelly! Balsam Portraits and Weddings began in 2020, inspired by my deep love for storytelling and the mountains I’ve always called home. Raised in Hendersonville, NC, I cherish capturing intimate weddings where personalities shine, emotions flow, and every day is uniquely its own. I focus on the real, in-between moments—the quiet glances, the laughter, and the details that matter most. My goal is to document your wedding with honesty and artistry, creating memories that feel as real decades from now as they do today.

We hired Kelly at Balsam to photograph our wedding! She was nothing short of professional, timely, and incredibly fun to work with. We had around 100 guests not including wedding parties, and Kelly managed to photograph all the important, goofy, and treasured moments throughout the whole day. She seemed to be everywhere at once and missed nothing, all without me (the bride) hardly even noticing when and where she was shooting. Getting the photos back was like reliving one of the best days of our lives. She also was kind and fliexible enough to help us figure out a livestream setup so my husband’s very dear grandfather, too sick to travel for the event, was able to be included in the ceremony. The whole day went off so smoothly, Kelly was on point the whole time, and now we have gorgeous shots of all our favorite moments of the day. We couldn’t be more grateful to Balsam. I’ll also mention she shot our engagement photos as well - if I start talking about how perfect that day was, as well as the photos that came out of it, I’ll never stop. Nothing short of perfect.

Andrea-Marie is a fine art documentary wedding photographer specializing in romantic, editorial-style imagery. Blending candid moments with timeless elegance, she crafts a visual story that captures the genuine emotions of your wedding day. With a thoughtful and refined approach, Andrea provides a seamless experience, offering personalized guidance throughout your wedding journey. Serving Asheville, North Carolina, and beyond, Andrea-Marie Photography creates heirloom-quality images that stand the test of time.

Finding a great wedding photographer is about so much more than simply making it work for your budget. You need to find a person you and your partner will be completely comfortable with during the most intimate moments. After our initial call with Andrea, she left us feeling completely at ease. Andrea joined us in France for our wedding week and she instantly felt like family. So much so that without us asking she was thanked in every speech on the wedding night. Andrea's direction is perfect; fun and lighthearted for those more casual shots. She is also able to be kind and concise when wrangling guests. She had a beautiful ability to navigate family dynamics throughout the whole week. She kept us on schedule when our wedding planner, disappeared to deal with a wind storm that caused all of our plans (even plan B) to become impossible. On paper, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. The only thing that seemed to be right was having Andrea as our photographer. She's just the kind of person you want around for the highs and lows of your wedding day. We could write a novel about Andreas' character, and we could write another novel about how unbelievable her work is. We have heard from a multitude of people that our photos could be in Vogue. The shots from our wedding are mind-blowing. On so many occasions we have said to each other, "Wait is that actually us?". Andrea staged beautiful photos that felt completely genuine and never cheesy, because of the mood she sets. She also captures such incredible candid shots, her photos have that "cool girl aesthetic" that's saved on all of our Wedding Pinterest boards. She perfectly encapsulated the magic of our friends and the parts of the day that were so special. Thanks to Andreas's work, we practically forgot our reception tent almost falling over, our cake falling through a window, our bartender showing up alone, our caterer serving food we were super allergic to, and our seating arrangements becoming non-existent. Thanks to Andrea when we look back at our wedding, we have photos that show the love between us, the incredible friends and family we have, and the things that went right at our wedding. Thanks to Andrea we remember the magic and we'll never be able to repay her for that.

I truly wish I could find the words to explain how AMAZING Marcela is and was, but trying to think of words that are perfect enough to describe her is near impossible, but I will certainly try! Since the moment I met Marcela I knew she was going to capture our big day and do so with love, encouragement, and professionalism and that she did. I have only received my sneak peek album at this point in time (that’s because my wedding was only two weeks ago) and if this doesn’t speak volumes about how obsessed I am with my photos I don’t know what will because I couldn’t even wait for my full wedding album to be delivered to write this review. Marcela made my husband and I feel like the most beautiful/ handsome people the whole day. She was so efficient with timing throughout my day and made sure every single moment was captured. She arrived early and scoped out the most perfect spots for photo opportunities! I put together a shot list and she made sure we captured every single one of those photos and then some. She was so amazing with helping you pose and had some of the most amazing/ unique photo ideas that turned out to be some of our FAVORITES! I’m currently struggling with picking favorites because I love them and the edits so much (what a great problem to have). All and all, Marcela is THAT girl, I could not recommend her enough. I am forever grateful to have had her! WE LOVE YOU MARCELA!! - The entire Moran family (yes entire because even our family & friends were obsessed with you!)

Courtney Hathaway Photography

  • Serves Highlands, NC

Born & raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I've been capturing love stories for over 15 years. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 10 years, and raising our two sweet boys on this little sandbar we call home is a dream come true. While we are based on the OBX, we happily serve couples on the Outer Banks and Beyond, and enjoy spending the winter months in Costa Rica.

If you need a photographer, Courtney Hathaway is the one to hire! Fun, caring and talented are just a few words to begin with. My husband and I are both camera shy and from day 1 of shooting our engagement, Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.
