If this sounds like your vision for your wedding day, let's get this party started!

We cannot recommend Ally Haley Photography highly enough - She so beautifully captured our wedding! We really struggled to find a photographer who fit within our budget while also fitting our style, so when Ally showed up on my feed, I reached out immediately. She was extremely responsive, and provided helpful tips even beyond our photography needs (such as hair & makeup referrals, tips for bakery, etc.). Our package included an engagement shoot which was a great opportunity to get comfortable with the photographer and posing for photos. It really helped my husband and I feel our best on wedding day, and was so special to be able to share photos ahead of our wedding as we counted down the days! Ally is such a talented photographer that even the unedited photos she showed during our shoot turned out beautifully. She also did an excellent job of getting a wide variety of angles and poses so we had all the options we could possibly need. When it came time for the wedding day, Ally worked around our schedule and really helped to get best "bang for our buck" as far as photos were concerned, helping us coordinate a large number of shots into a limited amount of time. Best part was we were promised a sneak peek within 2 days of our event, and Ally delivered above and beyond - we received about 90 beautifully edited photos 2 days later so we could share highlights of our day with friends and family!! From start to finish, we loved working with Ally! If her style fits yours, we wholeheartedly recommend you book her for your wedding!! She makes you comfortable and helps you feel your most true, authentic and beautiful self on your special day!!

I love bringing positive and fun energy to every wedding I shoot, ensuring that you and your guests feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to document the genuine emotions and spontaneous interactions that make your wedding day truly special. Let's make some beautiful memories!

Awarded Best of Zola
Amberly did our engagement photos initially, and after meeting her and falling in love with her work, we knew we had to have her do our wedding as well. She traveled out of state to come shoot our wedding, and we’re so grateful to her for making the trip. She was able to make the two of us, who are pretty uncomfortable in front of a camera, so at ease with her personality and friendliness. She fit right in with our families and wedding party, making sure everyone was having a good time and capturing all the special moments. We will forever be thankful for her and the gift of the pictures we have from that day, and we can’t wait for her to capture all of life’s moments ahead for us!

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.

Working with Hannah as our wedding photographer was an absolute dream! She not only captured our big day on November 9, 2024, but also went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She even coordinated having KJ from KJ Visuals as our videographer, and together, they created magic. We first worked with Hannah for our engagement shoot in Western NC. It rained that day, and while the photos were beautiful, she knew it wasn’t exactly what I had envisioned. On the day of my makeup trial, she went out of her way to schedule a redo session, and the results were stunning—exactly what I had hoped for! On the wedding day, Hannah completely outdid herself. The sneak peeks she delivered less than four days later were breathtaking, and KJ’s video trailer came within a week, leaving us speechless. Both were incredibly talented and captured the essence of our day perfectly. Hannah’s ability to plan, adapt, and execute is unmatched. Her eye for detail and creativity shone through in every shot. Working with her felt like working with a friend—she made the experience fun, stress-free, and comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend trusting her suggestions and vision because she truly knows how to deliver. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and the full video, but based on what we’ve seen so far, I know they’ll be extraordinary. Hannah and KJ were an amazing team, and I’m so glad we had them to document our wedding!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Gabby was the best photographer we could have ever hoped for. We told her what we were looking for in terms of nature (i.e., mountains and desert) for our wedding, and she knew all the best spots. She recommended multiple places that provided stunning backdrops (e.g., Storm Mountain, Brighton, Donut Falls, Guardsman Pass, Antelope Island). She stayed with us the entire day (so many hours!) and did a second day after photo shoot to get some good desert pictures (Antelope Island). She was amazing with our friends and family, always very friendly and warm. I did a lot of research on photographers before choosing her, and her portfolio demonstrated exceptionally high quality work for a very reasonable price. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for any event that you want to remember well.

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!

We engaged Olivia for both our engagement and wedding, and her remarkable ability to navigate our somewhat awkward dynamic between my husband and me brought out our adorable and playful sides. Despite the challenges, she dedicated herself to capturing wonderful shots, even in the warmth of March. Regrettably, due to unforeseen financial constraints, we had to cancel our wedding photography order. Olivia displayed utmost professionalism and understanding throughout our communication. We look forward to hiring her for future occasions.
