She was organized, calm, and seamlessly blended into the background while still guiding us through various moments.

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Montreat, 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!

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 Montreat, 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 believe your photos should have a timeless feel, full of your real emotions. I’m here to guide you every step of the way for a stress free experience. All the way from timeline planning to guiding you behind the camera, I’m here for you. 🌿

Awarded Best of Zola
What initially drew us to reaching out to Laren to be our photographer for an intimate, 14 person wedding ceremony was obviously her stunning, timeless and romantic photographs. But what somehow stood out even more than the beautiful photographs she delivered to us (and with a relatively short turnaround!) was what an absolute pleasure it was to work with her, from communicating to figure out if it was a good fit initially, to planning a wedding day adventure session, to ensuring everyone at the ceremony got the photos they wanted. Throughout the initial coordination and planning process, she was very helpful with providing feedback on our ideas and crafting it into a clear plan for the day. She was flexible in allowing us to split coverage between an early morning adventure session in the mountains and time later at the venue for the formal wedding ceremony. She provided recommendations for other vendors and drafted timelines to help us organize the activities for the day. Leading up to the day, she provided us with regular updates about the weather, proactively providing alternate options if it did not cooperate. For the adventure session, it ended up being a frigid and windy morning, which could have been a miserable experience but because of her warmth, energy and positivity ended up being really fun despite us being freezing! She was always offering alternate ideas to make sure we had opportunities to warm up and even spent a good amount of time at the beginning helping us learn how to tie a bowtie. Since it was so cold and windy in the morning that we cut our hike short, she offered to come earlier in the evening (which was so kind) and shows her commitment to having the whole day really be about her clients, even if the coverage is split into two sessions! Working with her for the ceremony felt so natural and it really showed in the heartfelt, genuine and joyful photos that she took. We highly recommend Laren -- her skills would shine for capturing any event!

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!

Scott S. Smith is an award-winning photographer with over 20 years of experience. He and his team are dedicated to capturing every moment of your wedding and providing exceptional, unique photography and films.

We hired Scott for photography of our wedding that took place on our back deck, along the river. Scott took fabulous photos of us in and around our home, as well as our cake, rings and more. He captured all of our most special moments as part our sunset wedding perfectly with gorgeous, hard-to-capture photos that we will treasure. Scott was very professional and well prepared. In addition to photographing the wedding, he also streamed it for our guests that couldn't make it. The entire evening is documented in incredible photos and video. I highly recommend Scott!
