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
My husband and I decided to elope to NYC from Scotland in 2022. Jo linked us to her Instagram profile following a post on a Facebook group and we instantly fell in love with her whole vibe. Her work stunning. We set up a video call to discuss what we wanted from the photos from our special day - Jo just got it and got us almost instantly. She knew NYC and where to get our pictures done but also allowed us to collaborate and explore on the day. Jo is passionate about her profession and passionate about giving you the best possible experience, flowing with love and positivity throughout. It’s super relaxed and fun. I wish she lived closer - she would absolutely be our go to for all our big life events! We wish we had been able to get Jo to do some of her film shots as well as they are absolutely STUNNING! She was able to get our sneak peak pictures to us quickly and wanted to absolutely nail it for the rest of the gallery and boy did she nail it. We genuinely could not imagine our wedding day without her capturing it for us 3

Working with Lee for our wedding was an incredible experience. In the lead-up, he was always communicative and readily available to answer all of our questions. On the day itself, his easygoing and calming presence put us at ease, while his keen attention to detail ensured every moment was captured beautifully. My husband and I are usually camera-shy, but Lee made us feel comfortable and helped us achieve exactly what we wanted. We were able to get most of our photos done before the ceremony, which allowed us to fully enjoy the rest of the day with our guests. The resulting gallery is stunning, with a perfect balance of posed and candid shots. Our guests even joked that Lee was everywhere, capturing every detail! He also delivered the pictures incredibly fast, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

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.

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.

My Engagement Photo shoot Review: Flexible to my time schedule and understanding when I had to change engagements photoshoot day. Great quality service; kind and understanding. Worked well and very comfortable with. Super professional on time and prompt. And quality of images amazing. Did just what I wanted, love this photographer. Would recommend her to all who need a photographer. My Wedding Photo Shoot Review: I don't even know where to begin. Monique was one of the best investments of our wedding. After an amazing engagement shoot with Monique the wedding was a breeze. She really makes you feel so at home and comfortable and it truly makes a difference in your photos. She's personable, honest, and has such a distinct and gorgeous photography style. She was easy to work with and went above and beyond her duties; was with us from beginning to end. On the day of our wedding Monique was punctual and worked her tail off. She was there in the morning as I, the bride got ready and stayed until the reception ended, which means she captured every moment. Our photos are so special and we have one of kind shots to remember our perfect day and we have Monique to thank! Everyone cannot get over the pictures, they all say “the photos are so beautiful and vibrant!” I keep getting compliments on them which make me smile so big and make me feel so proud. We thank you forever for capturing our day in such a way that no one else could have. I highly recommend hiring Monique for any engagement and can guarantee she will impress. You must take a look at her site- her works speaks for itself!

Hi! I'm Caliyah! I'm your super energetic gal pal behind the camera! I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Charlotte, NC area. I specialize in capturing the love and raw emotion between two people who are totally and completely into each other.

The only word I could think to describe Caliyah is perfect. She listened to what we wanted, we had a vision, and we worked together to make it happen. Her photos are not the kind that seem overly edited, they genuinely capture the raw emotions of your wedding day. Which I appreciated in the moment but will definitely appreciate in the years to come looking back on our pictures. She gives a clear timeline for how long we should expect to get pictures back and she has been correct and timely every single time. She is personable, easy to talk to, and overall just a good person in general. She rocked and I cannot recommend her enough!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We had such a great experience with OLAS! Our photographer, Jasmine, was a very calming and helpful presence during the day. She was professional and patient and worked collaboratively with us and our families to adjust to our shot needs and any other minor chances. She also gave clear directions on how to pose! The photos came out really wonderful - we love the warmer tones and Jasmine captured the joy, fun, and touching moments really well. The OLAS team was very professional from beginning to end and we appreciated the level of detail through the planning process.
