  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Cornelius, NC

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

My husband and I flew Golden Hour Images to Utah for our wedding and it was worth every single penny!! Golden Hour Images was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was super consistent and they listened to everything we wanted. The photographer, Jenna, did an amazing job and just her sneak peaks had my husband, me and my family absolutely balling. She did the best job at capturing all our sensitive moments and made us feel and look absolutely beautiful throughout the day. Jenna listened to exactly what we wanted and exceeded all of our expectations - our wedding photos are stunning and we will cherish them forever. We cannot recommend Golden Hour Images enough!

Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Cornelius, 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!

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!

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Cornelius, NC

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you have spent even just a few minutes checking out McKenna's work, it is obvious how good she is at getting her subjects comfortable! Creating images that are playful and honest. Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun. But what you may not be able to see through the limitations of your computer screen, is how she exudes positivity, enthusiasm, and carries a genuine curiosity. Does this sound like someone who you would want at your wedding? I hope so. I have had the pleasure of working along side her while capturing video and I'd happily have her at every wedding taking the photos! Hire her to tell your story.

Hey there- I'm Joanna, but feel free to call me Jo! My world has always been filled with photography- through all the years and different cameras, it's always been my biggest passion and love. I am a travel enthusiast and I will always be down to hike up a mountain or explore a new city. My favorite meals are anything that include coffee or sushi and I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as "too much chocolate." Most importantly, I am a lover of all love and will never get tired of documenting it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jo was absolutely amazing for both our engagement shots and the wedding. Her personality is infectious and she provides a great balance of hype-person and quiet observer based on what the moment needs. The photos came out amazing— a true depiction of our relationship without ever looking staged or unnatural. She seriously rocks.

Hello! My wife, Erika and I are a husband + wife photo duo team and we’re here to serve YOU!

Just this year I brought my wife on board and now we’re here to work together with you to bring your vision to life! A little bit about us- we got married on 5/26/18 in CA and 2 days later we packed her tiny car and hit the road cross country to NC.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan. We found Jonathan through a friend, and he shot both our engagement photos and our wedding! Throughout the entire process, Jonathan wasn't just our photographer -- we really felt like he has become a dear friend to us. When we wanted to film our ceremony at the last minute due to family who weren't able to travel, Jonathan and Candice said, "No problem!" and filmed our ceremony, and got us the video within a week of the wedding, too, so our grandmas can watch. We will always treasure that he did that for us. Jonathan is incredibly talented and takes beautiful candid photos as well as the perfect posed photos we needed with our family. He is incredibly prompt in responding to questions, and delivers photos at an incredible speed too! We were able to view so many wonderful photos just 2 days after our wedding, and it's just the previews! And hey, if you are throwing a PARTY, Jonathan's dance floor photos cannot be beat. TL;DR: He is a gift to wedding photographers everywhere, we love Jonathan.

I’m Christian and have been a photographer for close to a decade. I love to look back at old pictures with my family and friends or even just talking about memories that we’ve experienced together and get to relive that. This love I have translates into my photography. I’m all about the authentic moments that we experience and we get to relive. My photography revolves around capturing the smallest moments that mean the world to us!

Christian was super professional during the whole process. He was clear in his communication and the day was seamless. He worked with my planner to fit important photos to us and besides that he caught so many candids that showed the essence of our relationship.

Yazmin Jade Collective

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Cornelius, NC

Pretty much a professional sucker for love. Charlotte, NC Wedding Photographer & Content Creator. Mix of digital and film. My style is evocative, photojournalistic, a dash of editorial. I'm here as your wedding bestie to tell your story photographically, in the most authentic way, with a pinch of curated chaos.

Where do I even begin. Yazmin basically kept my entire sanity during my wedding. She must be a wizard or something because it was a LOT. My husband couldn’t stop talking highly of her and he’s never one to even pay attention - haha!! She not only handled everything with professionalism and grace the entire time, she kept everyone in my family from being overwhelmed and confused as weddings tend to do to people! THE PHOTOS - OMG. I’m NOT one for photos, I hate being behind the camera. (I know everyone says this but seriously, we are so awkward!) She managed to create magic with the little we gave her and for the first time I felt completely comfortable being in photos. I could truly trust her with my vision. We received our sneak peaks the night of the wedding!!! And they were so much more than I could’ve dreamed or hoped for. She knew what she was doing, created the perfect timeline and even with over half of my guests arriving 25 minutes late, she got everything I could have wanted! I will always HIGHLY recommend Yazmin Jade Collective to ANY bride or groom in search. Still in awe. Counting the days until we are able to see the rest of the magic she put into our wedding.

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.
