Ally Haley Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Athens, GA

I want you to be able to look back on these photos in 20 years and feel everything you felt on your wedding day. Together we’ll plan a day that doesn’t just fly by, but is full of fun, laughter, and memorable moments. No matter how your day plays out, it’s going to be magical, and I’ll be there every moment to capture it. I describe my work as documentary, timeless, and authentic. If this sounds like your vision for your wedding day, let's get this party started!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about her and her work. We found Ally through my brother as he hired her for his wedding in Georgia. Even though our wedding would be in NJ, after seeing my brother's photos, my husband and I knew we needed to fly her up for our own wedding. Since Ally had never been to our venue before, she made sure to fly in a few days early and schedule a walk through of our venue. She had assured us that she does destination weddings frequently and would be able to adapt to any setting. She certainly kept that promise. By the day of the wedding, it was like Ally had been to our venue a million times. She knew all the best spots to take photos and transitioning from each of those spots was absolutely seamless. Another great thing about Ally is her demeanor. She is so kind, warm, and calm. Having a presence like that on your wedding day is priceless especially when you have a big family/wedding party. I cannot thank Ally enough for helping us pull together our family, friends, and loved ones so that we could take every photo we wanted to on the timeline we outlined. Not only is Ally extremely organized and professional but her work is amazing. Ally asked me to create a Pinterest board of photos I liked - on the day of the wedding, it was clear she had studied the gallery and knew the exact vibe I wanted. With or without the Pinterest board, she has her own great artistic eye and directed a lot of great shots. I expected to have a few photos I loved from my wedding day but Ally provided us with an endless number of photos we love. I have gotten multiple comments from friends/family on our photos and my cousin even wants to fly her up for when she gets married. We had some older relatives/grandparents at the wedding and it meant a lot to our parents that Ally was able to capture so many beautiful photos with them. On top of all of this, Ally is also extremely timely. Our wedding was on a Friday and by Sunday night we had our sneak peak which was 150-200 photos fully edited. She then provided our entire wedding gallery right on the timeline she initially stated. Not having to follow up or track her down for our photos was just the cherry on top of the entire experience. To summarize - I cannot recommend Ally enough whether that be for your wedding, engagement shoot, etc. Ally is responsive, kind, so talented, and helpful. Thank you Ally for capturing our special day!!

Hi, I'm Kayla, and I believe that your wedding day should reflect what you and your beloved want; **not** what others want. Yep–I said it. Your wedding day can be your greatest adventure yet, and your decision to elope can trailblaze the way for more intention in your life. How? Eloping is a coming home to yourself and your beloved because you’re boiling all the details of your day down to what really matters. With that extra space in your day, void of distractions, you're truly free to live out your day with intention. I would be so thrilled and honored to come alongside you and help capture and craft your best day ever!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kayla is an incredible photographer! My husband and I decided to elope about a month before our ceremony date. We were so overwhelmed with all of the decision making involved. Thankfully, we had Kayla to help us. She made us a detailed list of potential locations, gave recommendations for other vendors, and helped us have the most perfect ceremony! We were shocked when we got our images back. She captured our ceremony, the emotions and the beauty of it, perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I have recommended her to every engaged couple I've met!

Hey there, my name is Soliana and I'm the face behind Solianamarie Photography! I'm very passionate about creating a story behind the images I capture, I hope to make your special day even more so memorable 🤍

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so incredibly thankful to have had such an amazing photographer for our civil wedding! Despite the short notice, she made herself available and handled everything with professionalism and grace. The day was cold, but she didn’t let that stop her from capturing every moment beautifully. Her ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera was incredible, and her sweet, kind demeanor made the whole experience even more special. One of the best parts was that she speaks Spanish, which was such a huge help for directing my family during group photos. It meant so much to have someone who could communicate so easily with everyone and make sure we got the perfect shots. Her editing skills are just as impressive as her photography! The final photos were absolutely stunning, and to top it all off, she delivered them in record time—just two weeks, even with Christmas and New Year’s holidays in between. We can’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for a talented, thoughtful, and incredibly sweet photographer who goes above and beyond, she’s the one! Thank you, Soliana!

Raven Shutley

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Athens, GA

Wedding photographs should honor your relationship and highlight your unique connection. More than simple validation, they are a declaration that love knows no boundaries. So, it’s important to find a photographer who understands the full scope of your story, someone who sees both the broader significance and its personal meaning. And someone who captures it all through unforgettable photographs. When it comes to photography, it takes a non-traditional perspective to look beyond the obvious and capture the hidden bits of who you two really are.

Raven documented my wedding day with such care and clarity. In her pictures, I see the settings, people, and details, when it all happened. Lush greenery and orange leaves where my partner and I said our vows. My aunt smiling as she met my baby daughter. Hugs with guests after our ceremony. The flowers on my alternative style dress. Amazingly, she got many of these shots when the people in the photos did not realize it. They're not only a killer record of what happened that day. Her pictures are lovely and naturalistic with vibrant colors. Killer wedding day coverage is not the only thing you get with Raven. She is great to work with throughout the process, always warm, well-organized and punctual.

I love the storytelling aspect of photography. Photographs allow us to freeze a moment in time so that it can be remembered and relived years down the road. I started my journey in photography over 20 years ago and I'm lucky that I'm allowed to help so many couples tell and retell their wedding story. Weddings are full of small moments that deserve to be captured and remembered. From the early morning laughter as the bride fights with the champagne cork to make mimosas to the tears rolling down dad's face during the first dance... Those are the things that drive me to wedding photography... Real moments. Real emotions. Real stories to tell.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I began searching for our photographer, Chase was already booked in 2020 but we had to reschedule/postpone due to Covid. We were able to book Chase for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Chase is laid back and easy to work with while having a keen eye for details for breathtaking photos. During our engagement session, Chase created a relaxing experience using our desired style and directing us towards ideal locations for optimal photos. Our wedding day was just as easy. Chase worked well with our other vendors to capture moments and must-haves. The turn around time was quick for the sneak peek and full photos. Chase edited any photos for his clients to create the ideal picture. I can’t recommend Chase Lanier enough. He is beyond talented and a pleasure to work with; he becomes a dear friend over the course of the wedding planning process.

These moments on your forever day are to be cherished in time, my goal is to capture all of these moments timelessly with you by my side in awe! I’m very excited to start our adventure together. Your unique style. What makes you come alive. What you hope to share with the world. That's what you want in your wedding photos.

We used Hannah for our wedding and it was a truly magical experience. We weren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera, but the engagement photos helped make the wedding day feel much more natural. Working with her was easy with great contact. She was receptive to our wants/ ideas and very responsive. We got our engagement photos back super quick and they made me so excited for the wedding day. Our photos were light, bright and airy and more beautiful than we could have imagined. She was so nice, friendly and efficient. She was headed out of town after our wedding, and she surprised us with 20ish preview photos the very next day before she left. I would recommend her over and over!

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves Athens, GA

We are Applehead Photography and Design, and our combination of directing and documenting provides our clients with photos of raw emotions and interactions, and allows us to truly get to know each and every person we photograph. It's pretty awkward to have your photo taken by a couple of strangers, but our hope is that by the end of the day, you feel like you had your photos taken by a pair of old friends. To us, it's not just about the end product you receive – it's about the adventure and the memories we created in order to do so.

We had the incredibly honor of booking Pheather for our wedding at Cherry Hollow Farm, and it was one of the best parts of our wedding day! They were fun, easy going, laid back, calm, cool, and collected in a way that this bride just could NOT be! They captured rare and genuinely vulnerable moments in a chaotic and packed event, resulting in the most stunning photos of our special day, and they even took the time to edit them to perfection — delivering us true photographic ART rather than “wedding photos”.

Carson Lillard Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Athens, GA

Hi, I’m Carson, and I’m based in Columbia, SC! I have been photographing weddings and elopements for over seven years across the country. I recently moved to South Carolina from California, where I lived in Yosemite National Park. While my primary focus is wedding photography, I am also a biologist, which brought me to this beautiful state. I love expressing my creative side through photography and witnessing the joy it brings to my clients. I specialize in a blend of editorial and documentary-style photography. I aim to capture natural moments as the day unfolds, but I’m also happy to give gentle guidance when needed.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a photographer myself it was easy choosing Carson. She’s the best, we love her work and she went above and beyond.
