Golden Hour Images was the perfect choice for our engagement photography. From our first interaction, their communication was effective, kind, fast, and easygoing. The quality of their work was amazing, with beautiful, high-quality photos that perfectly captured all the special moments of our day. They made our engagement pictures so special and fun, even incorporating our camping-themed shoot and being so patient with us and our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better photography team to document our engagement , and we're thrilled with the results.

Arden, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500

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’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, home cooked meals, hot summer days, and going on adventures. I’m weird (aren’t we all?), but I’m unapologetically myself, and I am obsessed with my job and this life I am so blessed to live. I've worked with some awesome couples, and maybe you're the next!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Hey there! John & Amy here, the husband and wife team behind the cameras. We’re both adventurers, daydreamers, and you guessed it wildly in love. Fun fact, we’re actually highschool sweethearts and have been together for 10+ years. We are currently based in NC and are transitioning to WA in 2022. We love to travel and are down to adventure throughout the US & Beyond. We both have a heart for exploration and love working with couples who share this adventurous spirit. Genuine smiles, hearty laughs, spontaneous adventures, that’s what we’re all about.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are over the moon with our photos and videos from Amy and John. The quality is incredible, and the quantity is unbelievable. They delivered an incredible amount of photos so quickly, and our friends and family have commented several times that it looks like our wedding was featured in a magazine spread because the quality is so impressive. We’ve been looking through them nonstop, and every time we see some new gem. They captured so many big and small moments throughout the weekend. It is incredible that they were able to capture so much without us or our guests feeling like there were cameras everywhere. They blended seamlessly, and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with them all day. They were so kind and lovely to work with and directed us beautifully, while allowing us to be ourselves and capturing genuine and authentic moments. They both brought such a calm presence. We can’t believe they captured so much content and so many angles when we don’t even remember them doing that - we mostly remember them being by our sides and talking and laughing with us. So many of our guests have said similar things. They truly impressed everyone and have given us so many incredible photos and videos to remember the weekend. Hiring them was such a great decision. We would 100% do it again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

His communication was always timely and he demonstrated an educated, professional approach that put us at ease. The quality of his work is truly exceptional - the photos he captured are natural, beautiful, and perfectly encapsulate the joy and love of our special day. Eugene has a unique talent for making even the most camera-shy guests feel comfortable, bringing out their natural personalities to create truly stunning images. Not only was he professional, but he was also funny and personable, seamlessly blending into the wedding festivities. He was super flexible with the timeline, even adding extra hours at the last minute to ensure he captured every moment.

Carly was consistent, easy-going, clear, and just a delight to work with! She took beautiful photos for our engagement shoot, an adventure bridal shoot, and our wedding day. It was such a relief to have her around on the wedding day, she arrived just in time and helped me calm down when others were stressing out around me. Carly made it easy to follow posing directions when we didn't really know what we wanted and weren't used to being in front of the camera. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
If we could give more than 5 stars to Michael, we would. Michael is an amazing photographer and beyond that just a genuine amazing human being. When we first started looking for a photographer, we both went into it knowing that we are both incredibly awkward people when asked to pose. With this in mind, we started the big search - the one that everyone reminds you that will tell your stories for years. Enter finding Michael - his website mentioned candidness, and a documentary type of style. Two things that immediately caught our eye - not to mention looking through his previous work- which is just unbelievable! Throughout the year leading up to the wedding, Michael was incredibly helpful. He answered any questions we had and offered super helpful suggestions when figuring out the flow of the day. One tidbit that I would recommend to any bride is work with your photographer to create that timeline - a tidbit from Michael. He also managed to have a blog post for every type of question I had (and I had a lot LOL). A few weeks prior to the wedding, Michael met with us via zoom to go over the different elements of our days and to go over our family list (which was insanely helpful day of because we were able to knock those out)! When our wedding day arrived, he was there early to get everything set up and his presence just put everyone at ease. It felt like someone who had been part of our family friends rather than a wedding vendor - which was another element that was important to us: good vibes! Our wedding day and the pictures felt just like us - entertaining and full of laughter. We hiked through some trails for our first look, walked along a highway, and climbed rocks- which lead to nothing but new memories and lots of giggles. We both were really nervous about taking the posed pics but Michael put us in our natural element and just focused on capturing our story, which was a trend all throughout the day. None of us will ever forget the fact we forgot to tell him we had a 6 foot hoagie at the ceremony. We also had a blast using bubble guns for a photo op fake exit and learned there is such a thing as too many bubbles! Within a day after the wedding, we had a sneak peek - and we generally could not believe how AMAZING our photos turned out. It’s still surreal that we could look that good in photos, he captured exactly what we were hoping -us having the time of our life and starting our life together as husband and wife. CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH! P.S. Plus how awesome is it when your vendors are so cool that they feel like friends by the end of the wedding so you have to get a selfie to commemorate the hours of planning and talking you did to make the day one of the most incredible days EVER!!!

We are from the NYC area and he took the time go over what locations would be ideal and suggested great vendors to work with. In the lead up to the wedding, he made a timeline of how the day would go. On the day of the wedding, he made my wife and I feel so comfortable and relaxed during the entire day and helped make this experience truly memorable. The pictures were spectacular. He captured the entire day (getting ready, first look, hike up the mountain, and ceremony) and truly made the day unforgettable.

Laren Rose Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Laren was thorough, sympathetic, timely, and encouraging-- and that continued throughout the entire process. Her creative, documentary, artistic, and intimate approach to capturing our wedding was truly unique. It was exactly what we were hoping for! Laren made being in front of the camera feel comfortable, easy, and fun. Almost every shot, she was encouraging us, finding ways for us to be silly so we felt less stiff, and coming up with wonderful ways to include even guests outside our wedding profile. For candids, she was low profile but somehow managed to be absolutely everywhere, capturing all the important tiny moments that made our day so special. When my grandfather was too ill to attend the wedding at the last minute, Laren made week-of changes to her plan to ensure I didn't confront his absence any more than I had to on my wedding day, and even helped me orchestrate a special photo of all my cousins that I could give my grandparents so they could feel a little more like they were there. Laren was beyond amazing at every stage from booking to proofs, and we are thrilled with the final results. I'd give her seven thousand stars if I could. My husband and I cannot recommend Laren highly enough!

Jessica was fantastic!! We had small outdoor wedding on a Tuesday in February with 24 guests and Jessica captured it perfectly. Prior to the wedding Jessica made sure every detail was covered and a timeline was created for a seamless day. Day of Jessica arrived on time and was ready to shoot! She was flexible, staying an extra hour to capture more of our cocktail hour and braved the cold as we had requested going to Dry Falls waterfall after the ceremony to get some shots. Our two large dogs were a part of the ceremony and Jessica was wonderful working with them prior and during the ceremony to get special shots with them!

Brian and I will be grateful forever that we chose Darrell & Kaitlyn Cassell for our wedding photography and videography. Until we received the pictures and videos back, we thought the best part of choosing them was the wedding day experience with them. I loved their approach and energy that day. They guided us seamlessly from one moment to the next, offering gentle direction when needed, but allowing everything to unfold naturally. Nothing ever felt forced or overly posed. Their calm, relaxed presence set such a peaceful tone for the entire day. When we got the photos and videos back, our gratitude skyrocketed. The images are absolutely stunning and I’ll let them speak for themselves. I have never felt more beautiful, and it feels like the joy of the day leaps right off the screen. I’m still blown away by how they managed to capture not just how everything looked, but exactly how it felt. I would choose them over and over and over again. I could not recommend them more and wish I could relive it again and again. The incredible highlight video is the closest I'll get to that and it's perfect. Everything was perfect.

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

The quality of her work was simply top-notch - her photos and editing captured all the big moments from our special day, with beautiful compositions and angles that we'll treasure forever. Renee arrived early to get some beautiful setup shots, and her professionalism and kindness put us at ease throughout the process. We've recommended her to multiple friends, and they've all been thrilled with the results as well. We couldn't be happier with our decision to book Renee.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Brennan captured the spirit of our wedding day so beautifully without ever feeling intrusive. It felt like they just melted into the background, allowing real moments to unfold naturally. We were especially touched by how attentive they were to our requests and how seamlessly they included wide shots of our venue. Brennan truly listened to what mattered most to us and turned it into visual poetry.
