Hi, I’m Chloe, the photographer behind Whimsy & Wild Photography! I’m a coastal North Carolina photographer, mother of three, and lifelong creative with a passion for storytelling and genuine human connection. Wedding photography holds a special place in my heart.

My approach combines thoughtful direction, creativity, and the ability to adapt to whatever the day brings. I strive to be a calming, confident presence throughout your wedding, helping you feel comfortable while documenting your celebration as it naturally unfolds.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Swansboro, NC

I’m a veteran wife and mama of 3, with a passion for documenting love stories. I picked up my first camera at 11 years old and have kept learning since. With my years of experience in wedding photography I give couples timeless, heirloom moments to look back on for years. I’m a believer and try my best to honor God in all that I do with the talent and business he has blessed me with.

“Rebecca has been our photographer 3 times now and I’m not sure how we can go with anyone else at this point. She knows our quirks, how to call me out for my terrible fake smile, and doesn’t stop until she gets the shots she knows we’re going to want. Seeing how excited she gets about finding the perfect light or backdrop just further confirms we picked the right one. She is truly an artist and it’s a joy to watch her at work while also being the subject. Whether you’re shy in front of the camera or not, she’s going to make sure you have the best time and helps guide you to make timeless memories. She blew us away off the bat with our engagement photos; gave me the most fun, confidence-boosting bridal boudoir session; and then absolutely rocked our worlds covering our wedding. Hire her!! You won’t be disappointed”

“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.”

“Evan took our vision and ran with it, creating the most beautiful images and capturing everything with such an impressive artistic eye. He cares so much about his craft that he even threw in film and polaroid shots (something we REALLY wanted, but it was not in the budget). My husband doesn't love being in front of the camera, but he has never felt more at ease. Evan is not only endlessly talented as a photographer, but he's a wonderful mix of professional and cool, calm, and collected. If you want images that are unique, beautiful, and made with great care, go with Evan Taylor Studio :)”

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Swansboro, NC

Hello & welcome! I’m a film-forward wedding photographer and videographer in Tennessee, capturing real moments and timeless imagery. I blend digital with 35mm film and Kodak Super 8 to create work that feels nostalgic, imperfect, and deeply human. My documentary approach lets the day unfold naturally, preserving the in-between moments that matter most. I’m drawn to experience-focused weddings — intimate gatherings, outdoor celebrations, and days that feel like a meaningful hang with your favorite people.

“Hanna did an amazing job, and exceeded my expectations. She was easy to work with and made my vision for my photos come to life. By the end of the day, she felt more like than a friend than my photographer. Everyone loved her so much, she even shot my best friends wedding too :)”
