Eugene Svirhun Photo

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Leicester, 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
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Leicester, 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!!

Adrian Etheridge Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Leicester, 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!

Michael Freas is the best photographer we could've possibly chosen. He is easy going and yet also professional at the same time. If you are looking for some quality photos where the color pops and stands out, along with some fun candid photos, you found the right person! As soon as he pulled up to our venue he saw some flowers which were off to the side and knew immediately he would bring us over to the field where the flowers were. None of our guests even saw the field of flowers, he just has an eye for this stuff and knows how to control a camera phenomenally! We loved working with him!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can say with 100% certainty, there is no one who could’ve captured our wedding better than Laren. I don’t even know where to begin, but I’ll do my best! From the very first conversation, Laren proved to be professional, warm, engaged, thoughtful, smart, artistic, and I could tell she absolutely loved what she did. I was drawn to her work originally because of it’s cinematic, timeless, and intimate quality--exactly what we were looking for. She strikes the perfect balance of capturing the small, beautiful moments between people, and showcasing the venue & event in it’s entirety. My husband and I have never done professional photos before, so we were surprised at how comfortable Laren made us feel in front of the camera. She encouraged us to be goofy, have fun, make each other laugh, and be playful without feeling forced whatsoever. She made us look beautiful, but never made us look like anything other than ourselves. What more could you want on your wedding day? Underneath all the artistry and kindness, she was also professional, prompt, an incredible wrangler, and flexible, and absolutely went beyond the “call of duty.” She moved swiftly but never made anyone feel rushed. I didn’t even notice her during the ceremony and reception, and she captured a million and one special moments—she’s magic!! Laren truly made us feel like old Hollywood stars. I am so incredibly thankful we chose each other for this special day, and I cannot recommend her enough. Book Laren and you will truly, truly be so impressed and grateful.

Prior to the wedding Jessica made sure every detail was covered and a timeline was created for a seamless day. Day of Jessica arrived on time and was ready to shoot! She was flexible, staying an extra hour to capture more of our cocktail hour and braved the cold as we had requested going to Dry Falls waterfall after the ceremony to get some shots. Our two large dogs were a part of the ceremony and Jessica was wonderful working with them prior and during the ceremony to get special shots with them!

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.

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!

Josh Lowe Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Leicester, 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.

I cannot say enough great things about Josh Lowe! From start to finish, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day, capturing every special moment. The pictures turned out absolutely amazing, better than I could have ever imagined! Josh’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail truly set him apart. I could not be more pleased with every aspect of his work. If you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to make your wedding memories perfect, I would highly recommend Josh to anyone!
