Steven made my fiance's vision come to life through his creative eye and extreme talent. You can certainly tell that Steven loves what he does. Every single photo that he took was absolutely stunning. We told him that we are going to use him as our "lifetime photographer" and that is the truth!! He will be photographing our wedding in June 2018 and we will be sure to have him there for when we start our family :) ALSO- for all of the females out there, Steven photographed my boudoir shoot and let me tell you- it was PERFECT! He made me feel super comfortable and it was just so much fun! I absolutely recommend him for any type of photo shoot -he will capture every beautiful moment and more. Thank you so much, Steven! We love you!!!

I recently found Steven online when searching for a photographer for my surprise engagement. My now…read morefiancee loves the mountains so I felt proposing there would be perfect. We live in Florida. Without living there I couldn't really scope out any spots. My first impression with Steven was fantastic. He seemed to truly care about making everything perfect. His pricing was more than fair, not the most expensive not the cheapest. He was more than happy to share specific spots to propose, time of day that would've made the shots incredible but couldn't due to a prior commitment. However he made it all work out. My fiancee had no idea he was there until after the proposal and the pictures came out absolutely stunning. Truly worth every penny to capture such a precious moment in our life. Post photoshoot, he was very responsive and went above and beyond with editing. All in all, I would recommend him to anyone who cares about quality, attention to detail, timeliness, all with fair pricing. We will be using him for our wedding as well!!

Josh and Shelley captured the most beautiful moments on our wedding day! I say moments rather than…read morephotos for this reason- Their talent for capturing natural moments between family, friends, bride and groom makes for the most excellent photographs to cherish, I noticed, more so after seeing the final photos that you can find someone who will snap a family picture if you tell everyone to look at the camera and smile, but it takes TRUE TALENT to capture the special moments as they are naturally happening. Shelley and Josh maximize on capturing the event as it is naturally occurring. They were also able to maximize time spent because their ability to tag team, and weaved through the event seamlessly without disturbing any guests or ceremonies. Also, they are very comfortable people to be around, which sounds silly but makes a world of difference on the most stressful day. The commitment and creativity I observed while they shoot the wedding was unbelievable. They have several camera's and lenses, which they often switched for certain photo's, they were always aware of the lighting and best places to photograph (and take excellent outdoor photo's). The value and quality we received is unbeatable, especially being able to access all the photos! After receiving the photo's and seeing my wedding through the eye's of Josh and Shelley, I can honestly say it was magical. And my wedding photo "like's" on Facebook are blowing up! Couldn't Thank them enough for the work they did!

My husband and I couldn't believe how lucky we got to have Shelley photograph our adventure…read moreelopement in South Iceland! She was easy to communicate with and so personable in person. I pretty much instantly felt comfortable working with her, even though I never got to meet her in person until the actual elopement day. My husband doesn't comment on services very much, but he was so impressed with Shelley's creativity and fearlessness in getting the best shots. She would sometimes be laying on the ground and get completely soaked by the waterfalls, and she would have us stand so close to the edge of a cliff and so close to the waterfalls. My husband got to see a sneak peek of a few shots on her camera, and his mouth literally dropped at how beautiful the photos were. We completely trusted her opinion on the stops we made in Iceland not only because she has been to Iceland before, but also because she just has that creative vision to know what looks good (her website/blog says it all). Another bonus is that she scouts the wedding ceremony area for you beforehand and chose our ceremony site, which we are so grateful for. It was intimate (away from the crowds), peaceful, and beautiful. If you and your partner are looking for someone who loves candid photos, dynamic photos with a lot of movement, and epic landscape photos, Shelley is the best photographer for that. We can't recommend her enough!

My event was not a wedding but an international business conference and she rocked it! We had PhD scholars that don't like to be bossed around and Kathy nailed it with professionalism and a dash of southern charm. Wrangling the crowd was challenging but her persistence in getting the right angle paid off with scrolls of great photos. I highly recommend Kathy!

From the first email exchange, Jenny and Joe were warm and you could tell they love what they do. We planned our wedding from across the country and yet, JCM felt like our nextdoor neighbor through it all!! They are incredibly fast in their responsiveness, we even got our full album released about a week after the event!!! Guests were blown away by how fast, and how GORGEOUS all of our photos were - from the family posed photos to the epic candid shots on the dance floor. They made everything feel easy and natural, they handled so much behind the scenes to make our day nothing but fun and truly magical. Nothing but love and respect for this pair of creative, driven, and impressive team!

Originally I was looking for a photographer for my best friends family. They haven't had family…read morephotos for awhile. So for their Anniversary last year. I decided to get them a gift certificate for the family photos. I stumbled upon Paula Roberts photography by the way of Yelp. I had look at others but for some reason Paula Roberts Photography stood out to me. Her pictures are phenomenal. Each ones , I looked at ...she would capture the moment. And that's what I loved about her work. The more I got to read her story on her business page the more I decided I want her to do my friends family photos. They great thing was she was from NC and my friends lived in NC too. It was a great match. My friend was grateful for the family photos they had a great time in the shoot. And the pictures were amazing. They were happy with their new family photos. Paula Roberts Photography is like the best of the best ... since last year Paula Roberts Photography has done two other events for me as well. The photos are phenomenal.. and she captured my moments.. and that's what I love. Some Photographers has it and some don't or they try to create it. You can't create moments they just happen. She loves her job and takes a pride in what she does. Even tho she lives in NC . I live in SC and she will come. She's the best photographer I know. If you book with Paula Roberts photography you will not be disappointed! I recommend her to everyone I know. She's the best at what she does, she's down to earth. I hope to have tons more photo shoots with her in the future! Thank you Paula for all you do for me!

She brings an attentiveness to craft, a documentarian's eye, and an unparalleled aesthetic to her work. Meg's skill as a photographer is matched by her warm personality and huge heart!

I can't recommend her highly enough.

From the owner: I discovered my love of photography many moons ago while taking a night class in photography at…read moreLSU. I started making portraits of my many nieces and nephews that lived in town. In fact, one of my nieces initiated my first paying family portrait session! Thanks Dr.Kate! I knew making heirloom portraits of kids and families was my calling very early. I am so fortunate. Initially, I made heirloom portraits on a medium format, (4 x bigger film than 35mm) film camera. Back then, I printed my work in the darkroom (or dark womb as we called it!). It is a magical process. I moved on to shooting digitally ( about 10 years ago. I started shooting video last year and am just in love with making heirloom videos of kids and families as much as still portraits. It feels like such a natural progression of my creative process. I adore photographing weddings. My philosophy is to document the amazingness of the day and let the couple see what it's like to be there and all the juiciness that they missed. No ordinary human can take in everything that is happening. Having me be a part of your special day is like having your long lost southern cousin (or Auntie) who cares about you and wants you to reexperience your special day through the lens of an experienced artist and storyteller. I hope to infuse some laughs, ease and grace into the day. I  approach the "assignment" as a documentary one with little conceptual mixed in there. I love you, I love your story and I love your face!
