    Wow wow wow!! A hundred times wow!

    We got our pictures from Brittany back yesterday and we are utterly speechless. First of all, in the busiest time of year, it still only took less than a month for us to get our editted engagement pictures so 10/10 for turnaround time. That’s only the beginning.

    Second of all, Brittany is both incredibly professional and yet down to earth and friendly. We were so nervous but she was so inviting and made us feel comfortable right away. She went above and beyond for our dream engagement shoot, shooting in both a weird location with funky lighting, and creating a moodiness that rivals Vogue.

    I can’t believe how out of her comfort zone she was willing to go to match our vision. We’re having a goth wedding and wanted a dark, moody Harry Potter-ish themed shoot and she just blew us away, we are absolutely floored with the results. We fell in love all over again and even my hard-on-himself-low-self-esteem-fiancee felt like a model in the pictures.

    I love the editting especially, she really played with lighting and color to match our theme, and it shows. It looks like something out of a romantic Victorian novel (but in downtown Asheville) and we are so so lucky to have these photos to keep forever.

    If you’re on the fence about photographers, you cannot go wrong with Asheville Wedding Photography. You will feel like you’re working with family, (the kind you like) and somebody who puts their heart and soul into their work. She is so good at making your vision a reality, and is willing to experiment in ways that truly evoke emotion. Brittany is an artist for the ages, and I cannot speak highly enough to the quality of our experience and the end results of our photos. We can not WAIT for her to do our wedding next Fall!

    Engagement session

    Brittany is phenomenal at what she does. I couldn’t be more thankful that we have her to photograph our wedding next June, after seeing the amazing work she did photographing our engagement session. I highly recommend!

    Amazing photographer!

    My fiancé and I hired Asheville Wedding Photography for our Wedding in October 2020. I entered to win an engagement photo session and I am so glad I did. Brittany messaged me letting us know that we had won and we decided to meet in downtown Asheville. Brittany was friendly and made us feel so comfortable. She knew all the best poses and places to give us the most beautiful pictures we could imagine. An interesting fact to our engagement pictures is that they were taken during this COVID-19 pandemic. Brittany wore a mask and brought gloves just incase she had to get close. I can't wait until our wedding because I know they are going to capture our special day and give us great photos just like they did for our engagement.

    Incredible! We're so happy we chose Brittany!

    We had Brittany shoot our engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and our wedding day. We are so incredibly happy with every photo she (and her second shooter) took. Brittany was absolutely wonderful and super easy to work with. My husband seriously does not enjoy being in front of a camera, but Brittany made us feel incredibly comfortable in times that could have been awkward (creating those super intimate shots). Not being from the area and planning our wedding from halfway across the country, we needed all the help we could get, Brittany was easy communicate with and provided expert instructions and direction on where to shoot, when, and how to pose for the best photos. She even took the stress of creating a perfect wedding day timeline off of my plate creating a flawless day. We had a rather upsetting event occur on our wedding day with my family, and Brittany stepped in to completely shower me and my now husband with love. It felt incredible to have her in my corner. Having seen our engagement photos and my bridal portraits, we were sure we would love our wedding pictures. We completely underestimated her talent. The photos of our wedding day are completely breathtaking!!! They were delivered faster than we anticipated and are more incredible than we could have ever imagined. The photos were delivered via our own online gallery with easy downloading and printing straight from the gallery. I cannot recommend Brittany with Inspired Life AVL/Asheville Portrait Company enough!

    Amazing! Beautiful pictures!

    Brittany was such an absolute pleasure to work with! One of the best decisions I've made was hiring her as our wedding photographer. She really knows what she's doing when she's photographing and I was even more blown away when I saw the beautiful editing she did!! We had the worst weather, it was so rainy and foggy you could barley see the landscape behind us, but when we got the pictures back, they were breathtaking, you would have no idea how horrible the weather was!! We also had to take our family pictures under a carport and she edited out all the cars behind us! Her work is absolutely amazing, you will not be disappointed! I also wanted to use family wedding pictures for Christmas gifts and she was able to send family portraits to me early. She also sent me 13 sneak peaks the week of the wedding! I couldn't be happier we chose Brittany for our wedding photographer!

    Amazing- don't look anywhere else!

    We could not possibly be more thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out! Brittany was so easy to communicate with and provided expert guidance on how to be sure we captured the moments that were most meaningful to us. We were stressed about creating the wedding day timeline and she made this process super easy and stress-free. I anticipated that we would really love our photos...but she FAR exceeded our expectations. The photos are easily accessible to us now and we will enjoy them for a lifetime. I would absolutely recommend Asheville Wedding Photography to anyone!

    Amazing Experience

    My husband and I got engaged in August and quickly decided we wanted an October elopement in Asheville (we live in Maryland). We booked Brittany to photograph our day and she was an absolute dream to work with! I initially reached out to her with some ideas regarding where we wanted to take photos/have our ceremony, but I wasn't completely sold on anything. Being from the area, she has a ton of knowledge on great spots and was able to make some awesome recommendations. She put together an entire itinerary for us with multiple spots and timing for everything, which was a huge help for us since we are not from the area and working out logistics can be tricky. We started our afternoon at Looking Glass Falls and hiked up Black Balsam Knob for more photos and our ceremony right before sunset. We also made several stops along the Blue Ridge Parkway throughout the day. My husband and I were both a little worried that taking photos would be super awkward, but Brittany made us feel so comfortable and kept us both laughing. The photos came out amazing and her editing has such a romantic feel. There are a few things I would go back and change about our day if I had the chance, but working with Brittany is NOT one of them. 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed!

    Honestly the best

    Brittany photographed our wedding in Asheville and she did PHENOMENAL! You can honestly tell the difference between her experience and professionalism as a photographer over someone who takes candid photos with an expensive camera. She knew where to go without question—both in the Asheville area, and at the venue—and was definitely prepared beforehand. She was also great at positioning us into ways that we would have never done on our own, and those are the photos that we love the most! Photos aside, she dressed professionally and has a fantastic personality. You could tell she actually cared about her job and wasn’t just trying to get a paycheck. She also has NO PROBLEM traveling. So if you’re not in Asheville, that’s not a problem! I will DEFINITELY hire her for photos in the future even though we live in Raleigh. Absolutely LOVE. 6/5 stars :)

    Excellent!

    Brittany is such a fun photographer to work with! Our ceremony went a couple minutes over, which cut out the time we had for portraits, but she still managed to get AMAZING portraits of us and kept us on time! She was very easy to be around and really makes you feel comfortable.

    Everything was excellent

    I had worked with Brittany in the past and knew she was exactly who I wanted to shoot my wedding. She does amazing work and is so wonderful to be around. I could not imagine having a better experience with anyone else. Brittany and I took an incredible overnight adventure down to Beaufort, SC to shoot my bridals and the images were breath-taking. For my wedding day, Brittany had a conversation with me to ensure that she knew exactly what and who I wanted pictures of, and also developed a timeline to make things less chaotic. She was so organized, knowledgeable, and had some great tips for me! The photos she delivered me from my wedding were beyond what I could have imagined. My grandma has told me (on numerous occasions) “she didn’t just snap pictures, she took pictures with meaning”, and this is so true. I am so glad I chose Inspired Life Photography to capture this precious time in my life, and you will be too.

    Amazing Experience!

    Brittany photographed our ceremony, newlywed portraits and part of our reception and she did a truly wonderful job. We just got our photos back and we're in love with them. She had a wonderful attitude and was really easy to work with the day of. She also took time out prior to get to know us as a couple. She made us feel really comfortable and captured some really genuine and sweet moments. During sunset the sky turned a gorgeous shade of purple and she stole some extra shots that came out stunning. We couldn't be more happy with our pictures and can't recommend Brittany enough.

    Amazing Photos, Fun Person

    My wife and I had Brittany photograph our wedding, and she was absolutely amazing! She hit the timeline perfectly, and was great at organizing everyone for the group photos. Everyone enjoyed working with her, and I think you can tell that from the photos. She even noticed a really nice light during the reception dinner and took us out to take what turned out to be some of our favorite photos from the night! The photos all turned out amazing, and we can't recommend her enough. Thanks, Brittany!

    Brittany was absolutely amazing! i adored her personality - she understood my vision for my photos and did a fantastic job pulling it all off in such a short time. She didn't miss a single moment, or shot. We are so grateful we picked her for our special day!!

    Proof You Don't Have to Break the Bank to Find True Artistic Talent!!

    Thank you so much to Brittany for capturing the best day of our lives. Brittany is proof that you don't have to break the bank to find true talent. We initially chose her because her packages were very reasonable and her portfolio was beautiful. (We were planning a destination wedding 5 hours away!) On the big day, we were blown away with her talent. Her communication could not have been better leading up to the big day when we were game planning! I was obviously very nervous on the big day and she helped calm me down too. So she did more than just "photograph" on the big day, she really had a lot of jobs haha! Her work is magnificent! We've been receiving compliments like crazy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful pictures at a very reasonable and affordable price as well.

    Brittany was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. After shopping for quotes for a week, we realized Brittany had by far the most reasonable pricing. Over the next 4 months we had numerous calls and emails traded to ensure everything was understood in terms of timing and our special requests, and even received a gift! 100% recommend Inspired Life to anyone looking for personalized service at a great price!

    First of all, you get what you pay for when it comes to wedding photography. Inspired Life Photography is well worth the price. Not only did we have amazing and gorgeous, engagement, bridal and wedding photos, we also really enjoyed the company of Brittany.
    We did our engagement photos in the fall of 2017 - got them back fairly quickly, considering the time of year. Brittany helped to design our Save-The-Dates. We ordered them through her as well. They turned out great and were a great first look into her photography. This was also a great way for us to get to know her before the big day - we were able to connect and were able to become more relaxed.
    With the bridal portraits, we did these on a very busy weekend, but I was extremely impressed with how well Brittany made it work. They turned out great!
    Lastly, our wedding photos! We were super impressed with all the other photos Brittany had taken for us, we knew that the wedding photos would be just as great. They were well worth the wait. Her and her 2nd shooter for the day were able to capture all the perfect moments and truly bring our big day to life.
    Inspired Life Photography is a must have! You will truly not be disappointed with the finished products.
    Brittany, Jake and I absolutely love you! You're fantastic!

    Brittany is so talented at what she does! We booked the 4-hour wedding day package with her and couldn't be happier with her and her amazing work! She was friendly, professional, and absolutely everywhere at the wedding, getting shots I didn't even know she got! During the family & wedding party photos, the reception, and send-off, she wasn't afraid to retake a picture or ask us to rearrange or move in order to get the perfect shot. And she got so many AMAZING pictures! Her framing and editing is light, creative, and just pretty. She captured our wedding day, the people, the decor, the whole event, beautifully. Truly could not be happier! (AND her price was incredibly reasonable!)

    We were so lucky to have Brittany for our big day! Not only does she have a great vision, we absolutely loved working with Brittany throughout the whole planning process. She even had the great idea for us to sneak away at sunset to get a few couple shots - they're my all-time favorite pictures of me and my husband!

    Magazine worthy photos & loads of fun

    We are so happy we got photos with Brittany out on Roan Mountain. The backdrop, the poses, and the editing made these photos look like an ad. I would 100% recommend Brittany. She’s on point with her event planning and organization and she’s also just a lot of fun to be around.

    I would highly recommend Inspired Life Photography for pictures! Brittney is so great to work with and goes above and beyond to make your wedding day stress free! I was very impressed with how much she was on her game and was adaptable to potential wedding day challenges! This tremendously helped my anxiety for the wedding day. I took engagement/bridal photos and was so impressed with the quality of images. She was so easy to book photography sessions and I feel like she always listened to what my vision was. She really does have an eye for certain scenery and lighting! I am looking very forward to seeing the wedding pictures which will be nothing but great I am sure!

    We were in love with Brittany's style from the moment we shot our engagement photos in December. Brittany was so easy to get along with and really helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We knew after looking at the engagement pictures that we would LOVE the pictures she captured on our wedding day. Fast forward five months and Brittany was shooting our big day on 5/20/2017 at The Venue in downtown Asheville. Brittany was able to rally my huge wedding party and family members so that we could get so awesome shots before the ceremony. She even closed down an entire street in Asheville (by standing in the middle of it!) so we could get the perfect picture in front of our venue– talk about a photographer who will do anything for a great shot! Brittany made all of our guests feel comfortable and several people commented on the fact that she and our second photographer, Nick, were “all over the room and dance floor” snapping photos that night. She was so helpful, supportive, and fun - we even danced a little together on the dance floor! When Brittany sent us the gallery of our wedding pictures, we could tell her pictures truly capture moments of us having fun with our guests as well as plenty of moments we missed in person throughout the night! Brittany captured the perfect blend of portrait, posed photos and candid pictures from the night. She listened to our request for a more journalistic approach to capturing the night in photos – from the tiniest details in the décor to the expressions on guests’ faces during toasts. We are blown away by all of the pictures and our guests cannot get enough of all the photos she took throughout the night. I highly recommend Brittany for anyone looking for a photographer to shoot their wedding. She has an wonderful, outgoing personality and a keen eye for gorgeous shots - you won't regret it!

    My wife, Megan and I completed a newlywed photo session with Brit last month. She was extremely professional and a blast to be around. We went to a beautiful outdoor mountain setting along the Blue Ridge Parkway and our photos turned out amazing. Megan and I couldn't be happier--Brit turned them around very quickly as well. We cannot recommend her enough!
