“Reflections Media Carolinas was the perfect choice for our wedding photography and videography. From the moment we first spoke with Bipin and Chacie, their communication was quick, effective and friendly. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted to capture on our special day, and the results were nothing short of perfection.

Hi! We're Michaella & Megan, the sister team behind Smile As You Mae Photography. We have the honor of documenting love stories and preserving the moments that become lifelong memories. With over 10 years of experience and more than 350 weddings captured, we've learned that the best images happen when you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present. Michaella is our lead photographer, and Megan is our lead videographer and second photographer. As sisters, we work seamlessly together to capture every meaningful moment while creating a fun, relaxed experience for our couples.

“Smile as You Mae was phenomenal to work with! From my first inquiry to the wedding day, Michaella and Megan were a joy and instantly made me feel comfortable. I had a lot of questions and they took the time to talk through everything with me ahead of time. We stuck to the schedule we created together and were able to get everything my husband and I wanted from the shot list, and took pictures that would fit everyones tastes (details, close-up shots, formal, fun long exposure during the reception, everything you could ask for)! They were professional and got amazing photos, but many guests stated that they didn’t even know they were there throughout the reception, which is how well they were able to blend in with the group while still catching all of our moments. I can not recommend Smile as You Mae enough! I have consistently had people state that these photos look like they belong in a magazine, so if thats the quality you want (which you know you do), don’t hesitate to book them!”

“The team with Unveiled Weddings Media is incredible! Musaab was very helpful when choosing which package met my and my husband's needs, determining what we wanted our day to look like, and communicating clearly and quickly whenever we had questions or requests. The day of our wedding went so smoothly and everyone on the team was friendly, professional, coordinated, and organized. We barely knew they were there - in a good way! Not only was the customer service leading up to the wedding and on our special day outstanding, the product itself was incredible! You can tell everyone on the team is a highly skilled professional who knows what they're doing. Afterwards, Musaab was both respectful of giving myself and my husband space to enjoy our honeymoon yet still communicated with us to make sure everything turned out to our desires and delivered the product in a timely manner. Nearly a year after our wedding, I had to reach out to see if they still had backups of their work as I had missed saving some files from the links we had gotten following the wedding. Not only did he respond in a manner of minutes, they still had backups and were able to accommodate our needs nearly a year after the wedding! If you are looking for a friendly, skilled, and dependable team to handle your wedding photography and videography needs, Unveiled Wedding Media is the way to go.”

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been passionate about photography since 2017, when I first picked up a camera to capture my dogs growing up. What started as a simple love for photographing my pups has evolved into a deep passion for capturing moments that tell a story. Traveling is another love of mine, and Africa holds a particularly special place in my heart. I have been fortunate enough to visit four times, with hopes to have many more trips. When I am not behind the camera, I'm either coaching gymnastics, spending time with my two dogs and horse, or exploring the world around me.

(we also do video) We are Kiara and Austin, wife and husband, photo and video, and parents to three sweet boys: Benjamin, Malachi and Solomon. Family is everything to us, and that love is woven into how we capture yours. We got married under a ginkgo tree, a symbol of unity and the beginning of our story, and now we’re here to honor yours. This is your one and only day. We want you to feel seen, celebrated, and truly comfortable from our first conversation to the final gallery. Matthew 19:5

“I was always told that one of the most important decisions for your wedding is choosing an amazing photographer, and that is exactly what Kiara gave me with Two Become One Photography. From our very first phone call to see if we’d be a good fit, she was so easy to talk to and truly understood my vision. I didn’t even realize she was out of state because the connection felt so natural. I loved that call so much that I knew immediately I wanted to book her and her husband.   Throughout the entire process, Kiara was incredibly responsive, kind, and supportive. On our wedding day, she made me feel completely comfortable, and did the same for our entire wedding party. Kiara captured the most beautiful photos, and her husband created an absolutely amazing ceremony video that perfectly captured the emotion and special moments of the day.   I loved my wedding day so much that I was genuinely sad when it was over… but then I got a text from Kiara with the link to our ceremony video and photos. I was beyond excited to relive it all and definitely teared up seeing how beautifully everything was captured. The photos are absolutely gorgeous.   They are such a wonderful team, and I cannot recommend Two Become One Photography enough!”

I’m Kate and I’m the lady on the other side of the lens. I’m a Charlotte, NC local who is always game to travel wherever my clients want to go! Lake Norman will forever be home to me, but adventure is always calling. I fell head over heels capturing weddings and the love between people (hello, huge softie here). My calling is bringing out the best in people and I look forward to sharing the day with you celebrating your love! It is my hope to become lifelong friends after sharing the day together.

Hi, I’m Paige a passionate and dedicated photographer based in Harrisburg, NC With a keen eye for detail and a deep love for capturing moments, I’ve turned a lifelong hobby into a thriving business. Specializing in bold, editorial, dreamy photography.Growing up, I was always fascinated by the power of images to tell stories and evoke emotions. This fascination quickly grew into a passion, leading me to pursue photography professionally. In addition to their professional work, I am deeply committed to capturing the essence of everyday life.

“Paige is the ABSOLUTE BEST photographer and overall human being. We used her for our engagement shoot and quickly decided we wanted her to shoot our wedding. She is personable, professional, prompt, and so creative. We absolutely love her and our pictures. Also a huge plus to get sneak peek photos after just a few days while waiting on your complete album. I would recommend her to everyone”
