Top 10 Best Wedding Photographers in Charlotte

14254

Charlotte’s 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.

#10 (tie) Ana Meskh Photography @anameskhphoto

Ana Meskh had a total of 19 mentions on our Instagram poll, and while she has one of the smallest Instagram followings on this list, with 571 followers, she also has one of the highest engagement scores at 27.83%, with an average of 147 likes and 12 comments on each of her posts.

Ana first launched her business last March and is already demonstrating some of the most amazing talent in our city.

Her style tends to be traditional, colorful, and creative;

💕Esther and Carter didn’t let hurricane Florence steal their thunder! They took it right back and made it an epic day! ✨ Exactly one year ago on Saturday, September 15th Carter and Esther (former New Yorkers who moved south for “the weather”) got engaged and began planning their Charleston wedding; until it was canceled in an instant as hurricane Florence barrels towards the Carolinas. However, hurricane Florence didn’t stop Loetz and Walsh from celebrating what would have been their wedding day. The couple dressed up and celebrated locally in Charlotte with a photo shoot in the rain and party with friends. Their new wedding date is slated for November 30th at the William Aiken House in Charleston. They are working with local Charlotte wedding planner, Jackie Fogartie who organized the photo shoot in the rain with Critsey Rowe Photography. ” I wanted to make their day special even if they couldn’t get married. They are such a fun couple that I knew they’d want to do something fun to mark what was supposed to be their wedding day.” Fogartie has years of experience planning weddings in areas where big weather happens. September marks the kick off of hurricane season. For couples planning weddings in areas that are prone to big weather, Fogartie advises to get wedding insurance, and get it well in advance of your date. “There is liability and postponement insurance, and both are worth it. It’s not overkill, it’s smart.”

#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.
