John and Brandy are fantastic!

John did our engagement photos and then John and Brandy did our wedding photos. John spent hours with us in the heat of summer getting a ton of great pictures! He made us comfortable and it was a lot of fun! We got our pictures back quickly and they are fantastic! On our wedding day John and Brandy spent most of the day/night with us getting a TON of AMAZING pictures! It poured down rain and was windy, but we still got amazing pictures inside and outside! They captured all of the pictures I asked them to, and so many more! John and Brandy were so fun, reliable and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding/event/ any photo needs!!

John and Brandy made this process so easy for us. We never worried if they were getting the “important” pictures and they never failed to be there when I wanted a picture with a special person. I can’t wait to see the pictures ! Thank you both again so much!

John and his wife were an amazing duo! They got all the best shots and helped us figure out which pictures to take. They also captured the magic of the reception as well as the fun of dancing. Would HIGHLY recommend!

John and Brandy captured both my bridal portraits and my ceremony and reception. Not to mention they traveled all the way from New Bern, NC to Asheville, NC for the big day. They came recommended to us by a family friend and they are both a treasure. John and Brandy met with me before my bridal portraits and before my wedding to discuss ideas and to plan out how the actual day would go. We got married in a historic church in Asheville, the Basilica of St. Lawrence, which came with quite a few rules about photography. They were both so professional that they called our church ahead of time to discuss with the wedding coordinator what was and was not allowed. I love that they took initiative and helped us out in that regard. We also had a time limit on our photography after the wedding, and they were still able to capture all of the family portraits that are now so dear to us of all of our relatives. I think the biggest thing to know as a future bride is that this couple is not only creative and thoughtful with their shots, but they have an innate ability to help you relax in front of the camera. This is a HUGE bonus if you want natural, elegant, timeless, and beautiful shots. They truly helped both me, my husband, our family, and our guests just enjoy the day and that shows up effortlessly in all of our amazing photographs, which we absolutely cherish.

We loved John and Brandy! Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous. They captured the touching moments of our wedding, as well as the silly ones. They took pictures of everything we requested and more that we didn't even think of. We highly recommend them for your wedding as well!

My husband and I were beyond blessed to have Portraits by Angelo photograph not only our engagement photos, but our wedding as well. The pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined. John and his wife Brandy are such a sweet and talented couple. They definitely went above and beyond all that they said they would deliver. So pleased with their work!

We used Portraits by Angelo for our engagement session as well as our wedding photography. The photos were very beautiful and I am so impressed with how they turned out! These photos are something that I look forward to looking at year after year, and remembering every moment that they captured! Portraits by Angelo were very responsive to each email or call that I made, and were more than happy to adapt to last minute changes. John and Brandy were extremely friendly and our guests continue to comment on how lovely they were to not only use, but to our guests as well. I will definitely be using them again in the future!

Used them for our engagement and wedding portraits, and I cannot be more happy with the result of both. They went above and beyond and made my special day even more special. I got over 800 pictures of my wedding and they are all amazing. I have no complaints on the service they provided. They were helpful in anything we asked of them and were very professional. They captured every moment, they took all the pictures that I requested plus many many more. I am more than satisfied with the outcome of hiring Portraits by Angelo as my wedding photographer.
