We are so fortunate to have found Piper to help us document and preserve the special feeling of our nontraditional wedding. I reached out to Piper after seeing her beautiful work and reading reviews. From the instant I spoke to her, I knew she understood the vision we were hoping for. We chose her over other photographers mainly because she had awesome suggestions for our wedding photography that spoke to us as a couple and utilized hidden gems in the city we love. On top of that, she was able to offer us a photo package that fit our needs. She was ultra flexible, as our Courthouse Wedding ran longer than expected, and super prepared, knowing everyone in the family by name. Turn around time on our photos was lightening fast, especially considering our wedding was during the holidays. We are beyond pleased with the results, and will cherish the photos of our wedding and family forever. I highly recommend Piper and would love to use her services again in the future.

Piper is truly amazing at what she does and made our engagement season and wedding such a joy! She not only made us feel comfortable and captured truly beautiful images, but she is also just a joy to have around during such a special time. We were the most nervous about photography because being in front of the camera (together especially) does not come naturally to us. After first meeting Piper for our engagement photos, we immediately knew we were in GREAT hands. She has such an ability to capture the most special moments and leave you with stunning pictures to last! We are more than grateful for her professionalism throughout the whole process and for making us feel like her only client (although in the background we know she was juggling many and a family)! Piper became like a member of our family throughout the whole process and we would recommend her to anyone!

Piper is amazing! She is organized, responsive, professional and extremely talented. Piper was great throughout the entire process! She gets to know you as a couple, your family, and what your overall vision is. She goes above and beyond! Piper is a true artist and visionary! I will have her do our photos when we have kids, and for the rest of our lives. Piper is one of a kind and you will be thrilled you picked her as your photographer. Her attention to detail is unmatched! I will continue to recommend and rave about Piper to our friends and family. Hire Piper you will be so happy you did!!!

Piper was recommended to me by my high school photography teacher, Byron Baldwin and he said she would not disappoint...that was an understatement. Piper did an excellent job for us! Her professionalism, warmth, and excitement over our special day was appreciated by all. Piper photographed our rehearsal dinner & wedding, and after spending 2 days with us, we felt like she was part of the family. Her creative energy & artistic talent were most evident in all her photos! Thank you Piper for capturing all the love & joy of the day!!

Piper is amazing! We knew from the day that we met her that we wanted to work with her as our wedding photographer. She is so fun to work with and makes the whole process very easy and comfortable. It was great getting to know Piper during this past year of wedding planning and we couldn't be happier. She is fun, but also very professional and quick to respond as well. We are so happy with the way the photos turned out and how Piper captured every moment perfectly. Our entire wedding party also loved Piper! Photography was a very important aspect when it came to our wedding and we believe we could not have made a better decision. Piper takes the time to get to know you as well as all of the details of your wedding day. We will be sure to use Piper for any future photography needs and would highly recommend her!

Piper was so amazing! She made sure to know every person in our bridal party by name, and she was so helpful in creating a timeline with us that made our day stress free! She was prompt in her communication and made sure that everything went smoothly. She found the best locations for our couples' pictures. I would highly recommend her!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Piper for our wedding, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! During our first conversation, she helped lay out a timeline for the day and began making notes of our families and wedding party. She even provided suggestions for a few vendors we hadn’t yet finalized yet. If she was this attentive and helpful to a prospective client, I knew she would be wonderful to work with--I had no idea! Piper was organized, professional, creative, warm, energetic, and just plain amazing throughout the entire process.

We planned our NC wedding from Pennsylvania, and Piper was so flexible in scheduling our engagement session and bridal portraits while we’d be in town. She helped us choose a location for our engagement photos and arrived at the bridal portrait location early to scope out beautiful shots. Piper made it so easy for us to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Leading up to the day, Piper continued to be amazing. She checked in periodically, was responsive to my questions, helped get us organized, and met with us a few days before the wedding to go over final details. On the day of the wedding, Piper arrived early to set up, to scope out more amazing shots, and begin photographing. I was so happy to have Piper there with us that day—she was warm and friendly, had learned the names of our families and wedding party, helped kept things running smoothly, and just was a joy to be around.

All of these wonderful things about working with Piper are really the icing on the cake. My main concern in hiring a photographer was finding someone who would take beautiful images that captured the day. Piper exceeded my every expectation, and our photos are simply gorgeous. She captured every detail, every guest, and most importantly the joy that we felt that day. We are beyond pleased with what she has given us and look forward to enjoying the images for the rest of our lives.

I had the joy of working with Piper for my engagment photos and wedding day. Piper is warm, energetic, incredibly talented, and truly passionate about her work. From our first meeting with Piper, she really took the time to get to know me and my fiancé, our relationship history, our family dynamics, and the things that were important to us in terms of capturing our big day. We were planning our wedding in Charlotte while living in Atlanta. Piper was kind enough to shoot our engagement photos one weekend while she was in Atlanta. It was so special to have our photos at the place where we got engaged and Piper went above and beyond to find the best shots in an unconventional space.



One thing that really stood out to me was Piper's dedication to learning everyone's name and relationship in the bridal party (and we had a big one!). She learned a little about each person in our wedding party and was able to call them by name on our wedding day. She also learned both sides "family trees" and was able to shoot all of the family formals with ease. Piper treated us like friends from the beginning, and it always felt natural and comfortable while she was shooting. It was forecast to rain on our wedding day and Piper checked in with me multiple times the day before to reassure the pictures would be beautiful no matter what! Even in the rain, Piper was flexible and dedicated and was smiling the whole time!



My husband, our families, and I are truly overwhelmed with the quality of beautiful pictures that we have from our big day! Piper did an incredible job of capturing the mood, the details, and the FUN of the reception! I would definitely recommend Piper!

Pictures were our top priority when planning the wedding. We found Piper through a family friend and from day one I knew I would love working with her. She was easy to contact, quick to respond, and relaxed yet very professional. In our first meeting she took the time to learn the names and relations of those involved with the wedding, she was even interested in their personalities and familial quirks. Since my parents are divorced, one remarried, it was a delicate balance to keep everyone happy and comfortable on the big day. Piper was skilled at planning around their anxiety and my family is still talking about how amazing she was.
Before the wedding we had two extra photo-shoots: one traditional engagement session and a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift to the groom. Piper helped us choose locations, outfits, accessories, and when the engagement shoot came she helped us pose for the camera so we looked like the best versions of ourselves. Her and I worked together to plan the boudoir shoot, which I was pretty nervous for. During the session Piper and I talked like old friends the whole time. She helped me feel 100% comfortable and confident in a situation where it would be easy to feel the opposite.
On the wedding day Piper showed up early, knew the schedule by heart, and was totally organized and prepared. We chose to have two photographers that day and the second shooter Piper had on her team was just as professional and artistic as she is. She was an integral part of my wedding day in ways that are hard to put into words. We just saw our edited album and I can’t describe how happy we are with them. Piper’s pictures are emotional, personal, artistic, and never forced or unnatural. She is an amazing photographer, but first and foremost she is an amazing person w

Piper was our engagement and wedding photographer. We had an instant connection with her - she understood our hopes for the product and delivered exactly what we wanted. One of her greatest qualities was her ability to strike the perfect balance of providing suggestions or ideas, while not being intrusive or overbearing. In fact, my bridal party and close friends commented on how fun / efficient / organized our photographer was -- attendants NEVER feel that way!

Thanks to Piper's expertise, creativity and warm personality, we now have a fantastic collection of one of the most important moments of our lives. We recommend Piper to everyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
