I did a golden hour photoshoot with Shannon and the result were absolutely breath taking. Shannon organized the perfect location to capture the best lighting. She is very inviting and made me confident about being photographed. 10/10 would recommend her for all your professional needs!

I’m an Asheville based Wedding and Lifestyle photographer, specializing in classic and timeless imagery. Being in this business for 5 years, I’ve been lucky enough to meet and work with so many amazing people, from couples to vendors alike. I’m married to my high school sweetheart and have been together for a total of 13 years. So love is my language! We have a beautiful baby girl named Juliette and a German Shepherd named Odin. Outside of work, I love going to concerts, trying new food, travelling and spending quality time with my family!

From the moment we first spoke with Shannon's Studios, I was impressed by her quick response time, professional and detailed communication style. The quality of her work was absolutely jaw-dropping - she captures the most amazing shots that truly reflected the joy and love of our family. Shannon is such a compassionate photographer and was so understanding of our needs and incredibly patient throughout the entire process, helping to ensure our family photos went very smoothly. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive these moments for years to come. Shannon's Studios is hands down the best photographer we could have asked for. I will continue to use Shannon’s Studios for any event or family sessions that I will need in the future.

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $630

Based in Arden, North Carolina, I am a wedding hair and makeup business. I am a licensed cosmetologist and self-taught makeup artist with over four years of experience and I has worked with a variety of skin tones and types. With the skill to craft looks ranging from natural to glamorous, I can bring any client's vision to life.

Megan made all my hair and make-up dreams come true for my wedding! I came to her with a vague idea of wanting a natural, glowy look for my make-up and a romantic high bun for my hair and she was able to bring my vision to life! I am so glad we did the trial before the big day, because we were able to work together to make some tweaks that made all the difference. As someone who hasn't historically liked how I look with make-up on, I felt like the most beautiful bride thanks to Megan's careful skill and artistry. Also, my look was able to weather wind, tears, and a full night of dancing! I absolutely recommend Megan's services if you are looking for a hair and make-up artist in western NC!!

Henderson Acres is truly beyond anything we could’ve hoped for with our wedding venue. First their actual outdoor space and house is so beautiful it is straight out of a magazine- picture perfect. The decor and stone within the house is such an elevated look we were in awe of. They are constantly adding things to the space and not to add things you need to pay for but to offer plenty of things for you to enjoy to use during your day. For instance there was several items of decor we used from them that we decided day of to use and the flexibility of that is incredible. They have a reasonably priced furniture package that their venue staff helps set up on wedding day and they have a retractable tent in case of inclement weather. Next the staff is absolutely incredible. Seriously beyond kind, helpful, responsive, and authentically caring. Planning the wedding was a dream with them, and the staff the day of was beyond kind and helpful ensuring the day ran smoothly. An example, we had one guest who was in a wheelchair and had to have an uber come to the venue for pick up/drop off - the staff without being asked drove to the bottom of the driveway waited for the uber and personally escorted them to the top. That kind of hospitality was noticed by our guests who raved about their kindness. I could write about so many more amazing things this venue has to offer. We received countless (truly countless) compliments on this venue and the venue staff - from the beauty of the space to the kindness and authentic care everyone felt. Our photographer captured the day perfectly with such beauty and somehow you’re still amazed seeing the space in person. I think there is something special about a family owned business and this venue is a prime example of it! Without a doubt the best decision we made in our wedding planning was booking Henderson Acres after so much searching - couldn’t recommend more!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Andy for my daughter’s mountain wedding (Bella and Kevin Phillips) was hands down the best decision we made. Yes, he’s not cheap — but after seeing the photos and watching how he guided us through the entire day, I honestly feel like he’s worth even more. We were lucky to afford him when we did, because his talent is on a level that won’t stay accessible to normal people for long. Andy has this chill, friendly personality that instantly puts everyone at ease. He knows the area and helped us plan the entire wedding from start to finish. He’s a true artist with an incredible eye for beauty and real, unscripted moments. Nothing staged, nothing forced — just genuine emotion and the kind of shots you can’t recreate even if you tried. Many of the shots he took, especially the veil shots, look like they belong in a magazine. Every single photo feels alive and full of heart. It’s honestly not possible to give him a high enough rating — five stars just isn’t enough.

Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

Diana and Robby, Owners of A Bride’s DJ, feel especially qualified because they both like to celebrate more than the average human. Robby is willing to wear a costume for any reason. Having a themed event? He has dressed up & made announcements like a pirate. Arrr! We have a small team of DJs who have each performed at 100 to 1500 weddings. Our DJs extensive experience & training ensures a smooth planning experience for clients, excelling in communication, are ego-free (so you get what YOU want), detail-oriented, and most importantly…they actually mix the music.

DJ Tony and A Bride’s DJ was beyond what we could ever ask for our wedding day. From the very beginning, both Diana and DJ Tony were attentive, understanding, and incredibly responsive to our music preferences and vision for the reception. (Btw, they are so kind and thoughtful which really made a difference throughout our whole wedding planning and wedding day.) We cared a lot about music and we had particular preferences even though we didn’t have any specific songs in mind. We told DJ Tony what music style we generally liked and the age range of our guests. His mixing skills and how he transitions between songs is just incredible. From day 1, we trusted his skills and was comfortable telling him about our vision. We can tell DJ Tony loves music. If we told him we wanted a LOTR themed wedding I know he’d pull off the best party. His curated playlist, talented mixing skills and DJing created an unforgettable party atmosphere that our guests raved about - they said it was even more fun than any club or party they'd been to! The energy and music were truly top-tier, making our wedding the best celebration beyond what we’d imagine. We are so grateful to DJ Tony, Diana, and A Bride's DJ for helping make our whole wedding experience truly incredible.

By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

From the moment we first spoke with them, we could tell they were passionate about their craft and dedicated to capturing the love and joy of our special day. Despite a gloomy forecast, they used their creative vision to make the most of the weather and delivered stunning photos that we will cherish forever. Their warm and attentive communication style put us at ease throughout the entire process, and their commitment to delivering high-quality work at a fair price made them an incredible value. We are so grateful to have found Katie Richard Photography to document our wedding, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and caring photography team.

My partner and I used Carolina Flowers for our wedding with DIY florals and you should to!! It was easy as pie to book online, even having to reschedule because of Helene. Pickup was a breeze and all of the flowers were so gosh darn gorgeous. I am so, so happy that we were able to have in-season marigolds and dahlias and all sorts of blooms to match our mountainous, fall backdrop. Because of our small, casual wedding I was able to spend the morning putting together bud vases and bouquets with my loved ones the morning of our celebration and it was such a lovely activity to do - and kept my nervous hands busy!

Asheville, NC

  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services

Homewood, a special event venue in Asheville, NC, is an ideal destination for rehearsal dinners, weddings, receptions, and gatherings. Homewood is a beautifully restored 1920s stone manor located in Asheville's post-Victorian historic district of Montford. The elegant castle was originally built as a private home. The elegance of the 1920s luminesces from original wrought iron chandeliers and alabaster sconces, casting graceful lighting from the 20-foot ceilings of the Great Room to the original hardwood floors, cherry walls, and grand Appalachian stone fireplaces. Conveniently located within a mile of downtown Asheville, Homewood offers 200 free, designated parking spaces, and is located in a neighborhood setting. The Great Room seats 110 people for dinner, or up to 150 with cocktail seating, with space for dance floor and DJ or band. Homewood is fully handicap-accessible. The beautiful and lush surrounding grounds provide additional outdoor space, including our garden ceremony site.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Handles all cleanup logistics
  • Bridal suite on site
  • Both indoor and outdoor options

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available

From the moment we started planning, Homewood's team was responsive and easy to work with, which made the whole booking process feel smooth and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—it worked perfectly for both our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, and the romantic, timeless atmosphere was exactly what we'd been picturing. What really set them apart was their curated list of vendors; they had some required and some recommended, but every single one we worked with was fantastic and clearly vetted by the team. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the space was, and we felt like our day was elevated just by being there. Homewood took care of all the details so we could focus on enjoying our wedding. We'd recommend them in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a venue that's both gorgeous and backed by a team that truly cares.

Wilder Weddings Collective

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Arden, NC

Wilder Weddings Collective is a dedicated team of elopement and wedding photographers passionate about capturing wild love and real emotion. Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Carolyn and Jake as our wedding photographers! From the very beginning, they were kind, professional, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured the most genuine moments, and somehow managed to document the entire day so beautifully without ever feeling intrusive or forced. Our photos are everything we hoped for and more. They perfectly captured the joy, emotion, details, and atmosphere of our wedding day—looking through the gallery feels like reliving the entire day all over again.
 Beyond the incredible talent, what stood out most was how calm, organized, thoughtful, and reassuring they were throughout the day and days following the wedding: My husband’s grandma (Mamaw) unexpectedly passed away just days after we got married, which means some of Mamaw’s last moments were captured on camera at the wedding. Carolyn went out of her way to hand-select every photo she took of Mamaw and send them to us as soon as she heard the news of her passing, along with the most heartfelt email extending her condolences. All that to say—they are not only incredible photographers, but the most compassionate and incredible humans as well! You will be in fantastic hands with Wilder Wedding Co!
