Wedding Photography in Asheville

Jen Burrell  Photography

Jen was born in Georgia and raised in the mountains of Western NC. She attended UGA and then Wingate University School of Pharmacy. While she’s located in Greenville and travels frequently back and forth from Asheville, you are never too far away for a girl with an adventurous spirit and a case of wanderlust. When she's not shooting weddings internationally, getting her toes sandy on the coast for sunset maternity shoots, hiking up the Parkway for adventurous bridal sessions, or cuddling the squishiest newborn babies in her studio, she's at work as a full time pharmacist.  

On a typical day you can find her cuddled up on her couch -in a home that Joanna Gaines would be proud of - editing with her three [giant] fur babies curled up around her. You can walk into her home and tell that Jen is a detail oriented person - and that is exactly what you want in a photographer. She doesn’t miss a thing. 

When she’s not shooting or working she likes to try the best local restaurants with her hubby of almost 8 years. Unless it's game night - then you can find her rooting for her Dawgs or Tar Heels.. Jen is a busy lady - but she makes time for her friends and family, because she recognizes that they are the best part of life.

Gabrielle von Hiking Photography

Hey! I am so happy you are here! I want to be a part of weddings that are raw and authentic. 
My heart is to work with couples who fight fiercely for who and what they love, for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Justin Driscoll

Above all… I strive to capture raw expression and movement through my work. I have had a camera in my hand since a very early age and began tinkering with Photoshop / Illustrator in the late 90’s and have refined my skills ever since, continuously evolving.

My graphic design skill assembled with my love of photography is where I found my niche. In 2009 my vision came full circle when I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a BSBA – Business Administration / Major in Marketing.

Since then, my work has been featured in several galleries, online and in print through many publications. I love what I do, take pride in my work. I look forward to working with you!!

Sheila Mraz Photography

Welcome to Sheila Mraz Photography. I’m so glad you’ve found me! To put it simply, I adore people.  I am that type of person who is undoubtedly a people-person.  You know, the one who starts a conversation with strangers in the elevator and the one you will find inviting others on to the dance floor with no music.  Yep, this is me and this is why I have chosen photography.  To be completely honest, I think that photography has chosen me. I find that life is too exciting to just let it go by without being noticed, documented or celebrated. I feel a calling to be behind the lens and create images of real life.  I find that through photography I am able to slow down time and experience the sacred still moments.  I specialize in creating images of laughter, joy and pure happiness.  Images that you will cherish as an heirloom and you will want to revisit to bring a smile to your face or an occasional tear.
