Crafted Nuance Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Drexel, NC

Hi, I'm Devin, the photographer behind Crafted Nuance Photography. Based in the Hickory, North Carolina area, I serve couples throughout Western North Carolina, Charlotte, Lake Norman, the High Country, and beyond. My work combines documentary storytelling with a fine art perspective. I believe every couple deserves to have their story documented with care, respect, and intention. In addition to photographing weddings, my fine art work has been exhibited in galleries, shaping the artistic approach I bring to every celebration I'm honored to document.

“Devin was an absolute joy to work with and made us (the wedding couple) feel so much more comfortable and confident throughout the day. It was clear through the way he interacted with us that he was invested in making our wedding day go well, and offered plenty of encouragement through the first look and couples photo session, as well as even giving us a preview of the shots he had taken through the day. His work is awesome, and shows care and sensitivity to the environment he is working in. Looking through the shots we received (which was much more than anticipated), it’s evident he was moving around a lot, but impressively remained unnoticed while the ceremony was going on. And he put in the time after the wedding to make sure that we received the photos with the shortest of wait times. Ultimately, Devin showcases his skills in consideration and genuine desire to provide for his clients, though now, through this experience, I’d say we are friends! Thoroughly satisfied with Crafted Nuance Photography!!”

Now And Forever Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $875
  • Serves Drexel, NC

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.

“From the first time we connected with Now And Forever Photography, their communication was quick and thorough. The quality of their work was exquisite - the photos they captured of our wedding day were absolutely amazing and beautiful. They did an incredible job of capturing all the key moments, from the ceremony to the reception, and truly documented every important detail of our special day. We feel so lucky to have had them as our photographers, and they did an absolutely amazing job that we will cherish forever.”

At Erin Lluvia James Photography, I blend timeless elegance with authentic storytelling.

Having a destination wedding was difficult to plan, with us not living in the area but Erin made it go so smoothly. Erin was very professional, her communication was very detailed and specific. When I met Erin her presence was very calming, pleasant, warm, and a pleasure to be around. We received our photos within the time frame Erin had given us. I was blown away! Wow just Wow!!! They were all stunning! She captured every celebratory moment on our big day! I would highly recommend Erin to capture your beautiful moments on your special day!!!”

Morgan Long Photography

  • Serves Drexel, NC

I'm Morgan! I am a photographer who has a passion for capturing timeless love stories and those precious, candid moments you'll never want to forget. I'm down to hike mountains with you, capture your snow day, and everything in-between. I'm your hype girl on your wedding day, a photographer you can trust, and hopefully your friend! My primary focus is documenting couples and love stories, including elopements and weddings no matter how big or small. My favorite part of a wedding day is the moments after the ceremony when the bride and groom walk out as husband and wife, having a few short moments to themselves before welcoming everyone.

“After having to reschedule our wedding, our original photographer was no longer available for our new date. We were nervous about finding someone who could understand our vision—then came Morgan, and she completely exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we met her, she brought so much warmth, charm, and genuine kindness. She has the most calming, charismatic presence, and instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera—something we didn’t think was possible! It honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day, cheering us on and capturing every beautiful moment. Her talent is unreal. The photos she delivered are not just stunning—they’re emotional. Every laugh, tear, and joyful little moment is frozen in time in the most beautiful way. She truly has a gift for capturing the heart of the day. We are endlessly grateful for her. She stepped into a tough situation and turned it into something magical. We absolutely LOVED her, and anyone lucky enough to work with her will feel the same. Truly one of the best decisions we made. 10/10 recommend!!!”

“Amanda is by far the best photographer I’ve worked with. She and her co shooter Renee are so personable and will put endless effort into making your day perfect. My videographer was late for my first look/ vows. Amanda didn’t hesitate to make sure she got photos, but also recorded it so we’d still be able to have footage. The whole day she went above and beyond to make sure we were getting all the photos we wanted, making sure the groom and I were eating and comfortable, she even jumped on the dance floor to get people dancing and keep the energy high! She got preview photos to me 3 days after the wedding. The preview was huge and amazing. If Amanda is available on your wedding day book her ASAP!!”

Mazzucco Photography

  • Serves Drexel, NC

I'm a creative minded, outgoing and silly girl. I'll join you on the dance floor during your wedding reception, but you can also find me crying behind my camera lens as you say your I Do's. I'm a photographer who just loves love. I graduated from Western Carolina University with my Bachelors in Science in Communications, focused in Public Relations and minoring in Marketing. My boyfriend and I, Dylan, met while we were both students at Western Carolina and he's been one of the reasons why I finally took the leap to become my own boss -- in a pandemic, nonetheless!

“Mazzucco Photography was a true blessing to work with at this wedding. Her communication was quick and responsive, which was especially helpful when a previous photographer had to cancel last minute. The quality of their work was fantastic, with an incredible attention to detail and capturing the genuine emotions of day. Mary was wonderful to collaborate with, adapting seamlessly to the changes and challenges we faced (thanks, COVID!). To top it off, she even texted to ask if we wanted coffee on her way to the venue - it was her birthday, but she was thinking of us! Mazzucco Photography's beautiful, artistic photography is a true gift, and anyone would be lucky to have them capture their wedding day.”

I’m Ashley Young, a wedding and engagement photographer based in Hickory, North Carolina. I create refined, timeless imagery by blending candid moments with gently guided and thoughtfully posed portraits. From intentional pre-wedding planning and timeline support to delivery of your final gallery, I offer a seamless, elevated experience designed for the classic bride who values genuine emotion and beautiful detail. My goal is to capture your day with artistry and heart, preserving moments that feel as meaningful as they are enduring.

“Highly recommend Ashley Young Photography for any important event where you need a professional photographer. I hired her for my wedding day and have absolutely no regrets. She schedules an initial check-in meeting about 3 months out from the wedding and then a final check-in a couple weeks before the wedding. Ashley was so calm and on point all day for my wedding. She corrected us when we needed to reposition in photos and helped fluff my veil and dress to get the absolute best shots. If I needed a tissue, to dab my eyes or nose, she had it. She helped with my fashion tape for my wedding dress straps to stay in place and rebustle my dress all evening because it did not want to stay bustled. Ashley is an all around fabulous person and photographer. Her photos are breathtakingly beautiful. I would utilize her again for any future professional photo shoots.”

We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography.

With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Her expertise, organized timeline, and guidance made the day run smoothly! And then there's her work - absolutely stunning. She has such a gift for capturing real emotion—both the big moments and the quiet in-between ones. When we look at our photos, we’re transported right back to that day, and we can feel the pure joy all over again. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shines through in her work. We’ll treasure our photos forever and feel so lucky to have had her as part of our day. We highly recommend Haverlee to capture your special moments, too!”

We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!”

“Bhanu at Eternal Vistas showed he genuinely cared about making our day perfect. He was involved in planning every step of the wedding with us, and even monitored the forecast to suggest we order umbrellas last minute; this was a thoughtful touch that saved us. There were so many thoughtful touches that will not fit in this review (preparing a wedding outline, checking in on our mental health/stress levels when planning, suggesting a song to listen to while we looked at photos, and so many more things!!). We received sneak peek photos in less than 24 hours, and we were absolutely floored by the quality. They are beyond our wildest dreams. We had a main photographer, a videographer, and an assistant (an unexpected bonus assistant, I’ll add). Their attention to detail is clear in every shot, and the whole experience felt effortless. The value we got from working with them was outstanding and truly worthwhile. I could not recommend them enough to any couple looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. My husband and I are grateful for Eternal Vistas and their passion for what they do. Thank you thank you thank you.”

“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.”
