I believe that photography is a beautiful act of listening and storytelling. I value the responsibility of making honest images that reflect the truth in the relationships, moments, and emotions that I'm honored to witness. I make it a priority to get to know my couples so that I can create something authentic that will be a part of their heritage forever.

I believe it's an honor to be able to capture the intimate moments, the quiet, unseen minutes, the loud happiness, the beautiful details, and the love that permeates the entire space.

I was a divorce attorney.
I had brain surgery.
I became a wedding photographer.

Long story short, I was a college journalist who thought I needed to go to law school and be a successful attorney to be a successful person. If not for a brain tumor I would likely still be miserable practicing law. But that cancer diagnosis (and removal! yay!) completely reset my priorities and I returned to my cameras, finding that photographing weddings brought me SO MUCH JOY.

What I learned is that our time is truly valuable. And not just from a productivity/hustle culture perspective. From a "this life is amazing and it's really fucking short" perspective.

Because life is fucking short y'all. And we should be embracing every magical moment and we should be loving the hell out of our people. And yes, we should be working hard, but we should be joyful, not miserable. And we should be capturing that joy as often as possible so we can remember it for as long as possible.

So yeah. Capturing the magic of joyful lives is what I'm all about.

One half of Party of Two Photography: a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Charlotte, NC. We love getting to know our couples personally and creating photos that capture their unique personalities in a creative way. Our motto is "Work Hard, Party Hard, and Take Killer Photos!"

We work as a husband and wife team photographing other husband and wife teams. We have cats. We care about artistry, authenticity, and craft beer.

We're Charlotte Wedding Photographers that thrive on creating personal relationships with people over business relationships, and cannot WAIT to make badass photos for you.

Our mission is simple: Take great care of our clients and deliver amazing and bold photographs that reflect emotion, and bring them back to their wedding day.

A wedding day is packed full of emotion and the moments you spent the last year planning fly by quickly. With over 10 years of experience as a photojournalist, I specialize telling your story by finding those special moments that make your day unique. Nothing gets me more excited than seeing raw emotion pouring out of the photos I make. My mission is to tell visual stories for my clients with high caliber, documentary-style photography and to create meaningful artwork with professionalism and enthusiasm.

13 years and over 500 weddings later, I'm still in love with this job. Real-life moments and human connection are what drives me to create images that truly matter to the people who are in them.

Because an image that captures your soul will always mean more than a photo of your shoes...

If you're into real, raw, once-in-a-lifetime moments, let's talk!

We are a studio of photographers dedicated to delivering gorgeous images that stand the test of time and capture raw and real emotion.

I am the other half of Chad Winstead Photo & Film. We blend beautiful natural light and our expertise in off camera lighting while capturing all of the wedding day moments like a fly on the wall. We also capture beautiful and timeless portraits for our couples to hang on their wall. We have a passion for creating magical photos in any condition or setting throughout the entire day.

I'm Mabyn a wedding and portrait photographer, based out of Charlotte North Carolina. I've spent over a decade capturing amazing weddings and loving every moment! I'm central to Charlotte, NC but also travel to the Blue Ridge mountains, Asheville, Greensboro, & Winston Salem. I've also traveled all over to capture destination weddings big and small.

I fully believe your wedding is an extension of the two of you and your wedding photography should reflect your personality as well as relationship. Whether it's the raw emotion of the first time you see each other. Or the humor of your best man killing it on the dance floor, those moments matter. The LIFE of your wedding and your story matter.

I've created this business around our client's stories. It's not about me or the showiness of your wedding day. It's about two people making a vow and the community who gathered there to support & love you.

I also believe that choosing a photographer shouldn't be laden with stress or fear. I'm here to serve & guide you step by step! Giving you the peace of mind that your wedding will be photographed flawlessly!
