OUR STORY
Over a decade ago, in the heart of Asheville, NC, my story with photography began. At first, it was just me, my camera, and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I explored nature’s raw details and honed my skills through portraiture, capturing genuine moments in people’s lives. Over time, I realized that wedding photography was the perfect way to combine my two greatest loves: creating art and meeting extraordinary people.
From there, White Lion Wedding Photography was born—a passion-driven business built on connection, creativity, and the belief that every love story deserves to be told through meaningful, artistic images.
An Asheville Journey Rooted in Art and Connection
ABOUT US
We’re more than just photographers—we’re storytellers. Based in Asheville, NC, White Lion Wedding Photography specializes in fine art wedding photography with a focus on heartfelt moments and genuine connection. Whether it’s the quiet glance shared during your vows or the joy of a dance floor full of laughter, we work to preserve the memories that matter most.
Our approach blends the dramatic beauty of Asheville’s landscapes with an editorial, artful style, giving each photo a balance of creativity and authenticity. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of documenting countless love stories, and every couple we work with adds a new layer to the fabric of what we do.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
“For us, wedding photography isn’t just about the images. It’s about the people.”
We believe in building a relationship with each couple, making sure you feel at ease in front of the camera. This connection allows us to capture who you truly are—your personalities, your love, and the unique details that make your wedding day yours.
We focus on prompting, not posing, encouraging organic moments that feel as authentic as they are beautiful. It’s this combination of a relaxed approach and artistic vision that makes our photography stand out.
Our Approach
We take inspiration from you—your story, your style, your connection. Whether you’re drawn to dramatic mountain vistas or intimate urban settings, we create wedding imagery that reflects your personality while standing the test of time. Each image is meticulously crafted with a fine art approach, combining Asheville’s natural beauty with a refined, editorial touch.
At the heart of White Lion Wedding Photography is a dedicated team of creative professionals, all driven by a shared passion for telling love stories. Whether we’re behind the camera, editing your gallery, or designing your album, every detail is thoughtfully managed to ensure a stress-free, enjoyable process from start to finish.
Our Promise
We promise to see you — not just pose you.
To move gently through your day, capturing the quiet magic and electric joy as it unfolds.
You’ll never feel rushed, stiff, or like the photos are more important than the moment.
We’ll be there with calm guidance, steady presence, and a camera that always knows when to disappear — and when to lean in.
The result? Photographs that feel like memories.
Not just of how it looked — but how it felt.
