Charlotte’s fall wedding season is here. The Queen City now has more venues, caterers, and photographers than ever before – great for couples who want choices, but terrible for the indecisive.
To help out the latter, we decided to ask our Instagram followers who they thought the best wedding photographer in Charlotte was.
Our poll received a total of 757 submissions and the following ranking represents the photographers who were tagged the highest number of times. While this may seem somewhat subjective, we have researched all of the following photographers to check for consistent outstanding quality, made with the help of the best cameras for wedding photography, and I can say with complete confidence that they are some of the best wedding photographers in the entire Charlotte region.

#4 Brittany West
Brittany West is a destination elopement and destination wedding photographer with a strong focus on the intimate connection between a couple on their wedding day. When she isn’t capturing the nuptials of couples on mountain tops in places like Asheville she can be found coordinating the logistics of an elopement for couples, typically working closely with the betrothed guiding them every step of the way. The merging of wedding photographer and wedding day coordinator allows Brittany to give her clients the best wedding day possible.
