Even if you don’t realize it yet, who you choose to document your day will play an integral part in how you remember it all.
After photographing more than 150 weddings over the past few years, we've truly come to understand what it takes to capture a wedding day in a way that honors the couple, their loved ones and the legacy that is just beginning.
You’ll hear this thirty times over — “your day will pass in the blink of an eye.” We value the emotion and allowing space for the moments that matter. Creating an effortless experience that turns your memories into art that you will cherish forever, and ensuring that your memories never fade.
Our journey together starts right here.

learn more about us
Growing up, we spent our days flipping through our favorite family albums and watching our most cherished home movies. We learned about family members we never met and relived the joys of holidays past. Now, with much of our family no longer here, those memories are so perfectly preserved that we can continue to remember that happiness we felt with our favorite people. We can remember their laughter, their hugs and who they were. And we’ll never forget.
This is the heart we pour into our work. So when we show up on your wedding day, we know just how precious these memories will be throughout your life. When you look back on those once-in-a-lifetime moments with your favorite people.
the heart behind the work
Wonderful! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 60 days before the wedding.
We typically add travel fees on to any session or wedding outside of a 100 mile radius from our home in Charlotte, NC. Fees vary depending on location and we also make exceptions for certain places, so ask us for more details.
Galleries typically include anywhere between 400 and 800 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding but you can expect between 70-100 images per hour of coverage. We are happy to send over a few full galleries upon request, so you can get a feel for what we deliver.
Absolutely! We’re here to capture your love story and one day, that may include kids, family get togethers, vacations and holidays. We would love to be a part of those moments too! It means so much being able to stay in touch and hear all about the exciting things that happen in your life.

I can’t say enough good things about Sam and Nick of Anorda Photography. I am a bit of a high maintenance customer and I picked the perfect professionals for my proposal. Sam is very communicative and quick to respond. She’s great at calming your nerves and fears and is super personable. You can tell she cares about you as a person when you speak with her and she makes your experience nothing but fun.
