Brandi-Lee Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Waynesville, NC

I began this journey several years ago inspired by all the little moments going on around me. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film.

When we started wedding planning in late 2023 for our wedding in October 2024, I was seriously panicking thinking about all the different vendors we’d need to book. I knew we needed a photographer who was pretty flexible since we lived out of town from where we were planning the wedding, and that was Brandi to a T!! She was recommended by our wedding planner and I could not be more glad we chose her. She’s personable, kind, helpful, and an amazing photographer. She did our engagement shoot as well, and perfectly captured the spooky vibes we were going for and recommended the coolest photography venue to do them at. On the day of the wedding, she captured every moment so well with her second shooter, Valerie, and I’m so grateful to now have an entire album of beautiful wedding photos to look back on. She even sat down with my young nephew on the wedding day and let him take a few pictures with her camera. Just the sweetest person- I can’t recommend Brandi enough!!!

Savanah Marie Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Waynesville, NC

Hey there! My name is Savanah and I started photography full time back in 2021 and it has been absolutely amazing. I have met so many amazing couples, and helped capture the most important day of their lives. I’m very big on candid moments and in between of your wedding day, from the little looks from across the room, to grandpa breaking it down on the dance floor. My goal is to capture every single thing that makes YOUR day special.

Savanah Marie Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was easy-going, clear, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day itself, Savanah was so considerate - it was freezing outside, which made it difficult to take photos, but she gave us ample breaks to warm up and recover from the unrelenting wind. She also made sure to capture all the poses I had requested. While we haven't received the full collection back yet, the sneak peeks we've seen are absolutely captivating and such high-quality. The photos beautifully capture our love story and the beauty of our wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful and my husband feels the exact same way. Savanah's work is truly of the highest value, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Hi! I’m Connie! First of all congrats!🍾 ✨Thank you for visiting my profile and considering me as your photographer! I am so excited for your big day! Here are some things you might wanna know! I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Love Knot Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Waynesville, NC

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

Our work involves a lot of interaction between you and your partner: the way you smile, hug, laugh and goof off together. We use natural light to create artistically genuine moments. Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor. We're not someone who simply ‘gets the job done’— We're with you every single step of the way, from the first time we talk until your images are delivered.

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day.

We started with an engagement shoot to get to know him, which I highly recommend. Throughout the process he was a great communicator, and always helped with any questions. When it came to the wedding day he was super organized, and stayed on our timeline which was great. Most importantly, the pictures are beautiful!! 10/10

TLDR: she is talented, professional & kind very helpful as someone with limited mobility. Tessa & her team photographed & recorded my wedding last weekend, and they were a dream to work with. I am chronically ill & so I knew on my wedding day I could not be running around to different locations for photos, and Tessa was extremely mindful of that fact & made sure to work within the parameters of what was doable for me. I was worried my limited mobility would mean my photos would be a little boring, but she's already sent a handful of pictures over for a sneak peek & they are GORGEOUS. Tessa is a true professional but also someone who clearly loves what she does, which I think really shows in the quality of her work. Could not be more glad to have had her & her team document my special day! :)

Your wedding photography should feel as unforgettable as the day itself—filled with emotion, depth, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make it yours. My approach blends editorial artistry with real, heartfelt storytelling—so you get the iconic, cinematic shots and the quiet, unscripted moments in between. With a mix of film and digital photography, I create images that feel nostalgic yet modern, timeless yet full of life. Whether you're celebrating in a historic estate, a backyard under the stars, or halfway across the world, I’m here to capture it with care, intention, and an eye for the details that matter most.

We had Josie capture our destination wedding / elopement with family & friends in Turks & Caicos. Josie was such a wonderful photographer to have beside us on our wedding day. She captured every special moment and even had all of our photos returned back to us in a months time (& a very large quantity too)!! Our photos had us smiling and feeling like we relived the day all over again. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she has such a calming and peaceful personality to be around. She made the entire wedding day light and fun. Taking photos with her felt so natural and easy. If you are looking for a wedding photographer you will make the best decision choosing to have her by your side - especially for destination weddings! Josie is easy to communicate with and responds promptly to all questions which made the planning process smooth. She adapts to the style of photos you would like - whether more portraits or more candid (or a mix of both). Within a week following our wedding she had sent us a link to access a bunch of sneak peak photos. Reliable, personable, professional, kind, talented are just some words to describe Josie.

These qualities naturally translated into my passion for wedding photography, where I can capture the genuine, unscripted moments that truly define a couple’s day.

She went above and beyond to ensure our special day was captured beautifully. Kens not only took stunning, high-quality photos, but she also helped with things that were not even part of her duties, like helping with decor, keeping everything on schedule since we didn’t have the Day of coordinator and helped with our dog that wouldn’t let us take any pictures without him lol.
