“Pelican Perch Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Seth, we were impressed by his prompt, professional, and friendly communication style. The quality of his work is truly excellent - his unique, professional approach captured all the special moments of our day. Seth was very inclusive of everyone who attended, but never obtrusive. He did a fantastic job taking both formal and candid photos of the bride and groom, as well as our guests. Seth took a tremendous number of photos and turned them around to us within just a few days. It was a pleasure having him there, and he even managed to capture a comet in the background of one of our photos - it was magical! We highly recommend Pelican Perch Photography for any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography.”

Hey, I'm Bri, a wedding and couples photographer based in Wilmington, NC, shooting all over the East Coast and beyond. I work in digital and film, mixing in 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, and Super 8 depending on your day. I'm not chasing posed shots. I'm after the real moments, the ones that happen in between, because that's where the honest emotion lives. My own wedding taught me exactly what I didn't want in a photographer, and it's shaped how I show up for every couple since. I pay attention, stay close but out of the way, and I'd love to hear about your day.

“I hope at the end of reading this review, your heart is beaming with joy and excitement knowing that this is THE person who can capture those special moments you want to look back on years down the road. Long story short - CA girl moves to OH. My love and I created a home. Bri is now family. I knew all I had to do was have an Americano ready and outfits laid out. In seconds we were laughing and rollin. Bri captured the warm light that pours through the blinds of our big loft windows so magically. Her energy is genuine and calming. I loved that her style was more candid and authentic than structured because as Austin and I sipped coffee, danced around and loved each other, she was capturing those moments most dream about – the butterfly smiles, the gestures sometimes you think only you two notice, the kisses given that make your heart full. What I didn't truly realize, was how important it is to have photographer that makes you feel comfortable. This is a person seeing the most intimate, important moments of your life and I couldn't imagine anyone else being behind the lens capturing those other than Bri. I feel so fortunate to share some big life moments with Bri and can't recommend her enough. We love her and know you will too!!”

Malia showed up dressed to the nines, which we loved, and she was punctual and incredibly skilled at capturing both posed shots and the real moments that happened organically—like the hilarious photos of us dropping our cake slice. She gave us helpful guidance on how to position ourselves for pictures while still letting those candid moments shine through. The sneak peeks she sent us were all amazing, and we can't wait to see the full gallery. We'd absolutely recommend Malia Lynn Photos to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about telling your story.”

“We’ve been using Justina as our photographer since we got engaged. I knew she was featured at the best family photographer in Wilmington, and even before kids, I loved her style so much that I knew I just had to have her! She has been capturing moments for our family for the past 4 years, and I always recommend her to everyone I talk to (although hesitantly - sometimes I selfishly want to keep her all to myself). I couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding. She accommodated every single request, knew what I needed before I even knew what I wanted, and sometimes has few a secret spots up her sleeve. She had a vision that exceeded my expectations, all while capturing all of my requests - every single time. I cherish all of the sweet moments she was able to capture, including the precious time with my mother getting dressed, the first look with my husband, the tears in my eyes as we read our vows, my bridesmaids bowing their heads during prayer, my uncle choking up as he expressed how words cannot describe how much we miss my father, the pure bliss displayed by my mother-in-law as she danced with my husband, not to mention all the surprises I didn’t notice until viewing the photos - our friends on the dance floor, the kids who made funny faces during dinner, the friends who passed out on chairs because they didn’t want to miss out on the fun. I could go on and on. These things don’t happen by accident, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture these memories for us.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“First, my mom failed to read our contract correctly and had the whole family up at sunrise for a shoot instead of 6:45pm. Among the large family group were our twins who would’ve been an absolute nightmare had we stuck with the original time slot we agreed to. The photographer was so kind and flexible and showed up the next morning on short notice to accommodate our group. Not only does my mom hate having her photo taken, our family pet has been sick with cancer for some time now and they did such a wonderful job capturing all of the love and joy surrounding my mom and our beloved pet. Last, my wife and I are a same-sex couple and not all photographers have been the most comfortable to work with in the past. This team is professional and friendly and treated our little family and marriage the same as she did my sisters by offering to take romantic pictures and recognizing our relationship appropriately. It really is the small things that matter and I can’t recommend this team enough.”

Shegoes Photography & Design is truly an extension of who I am.

She stayed calm, creative, and completely in control. The weather was perfect—75 degrees and full sun—and she used the light beautifully. Every photo turned out absolutely amazing, from the candid moments to the portraits. She captured the joy and the energy of the day!

It’s life’s simple moments that really get me inspired. Endless sun soaked walks with my pup Ollie + husband Michael, thrifting, vegging out on the beach until I've lost track of time, coffee shops with pals, testing out a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people that I love. I live for the small, slow, nostalgic moments. Growing up, I was a quiet observer, always dreaming and creating. My desire to photograph + document grew so organically, and now I'm lucky enough to say that I have been photographing professionally for nine years, and truly never see myself stopping.

“Meagan Forbes Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Meagan and her team were friendly, easy-going, and had a great sense of humor that immediately put us at ease. On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly blended into the background and captured incredible, natural-looking photos that truly reflected the casual yet special vibe we were going for. All of our friends have been raving about how amazing the photos turned out - Meagan has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We could not be happier with the value and quality of service we received, and highly recommend Meagan Forbes Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.”
