Perry’s work is incredible. Her style is vibrant and artistic yet accessible and natural. The photos from our wedding are timeless and will be cherished and revisited for years to come. Perry’s not only a master of her craft she’s wonderful to work with. Perry’s energy and enthusiasm are genuine and contagious. She’s affable and professional and put us (and our family/guests) at ease.

You can tell she truly loves what she does and values each and every couple she takes on as clients. Her work is very detailed, unique, and absolutely beautiful.

I couldn't have been more blown away by the artistry and fabulous customer service from Perry Vaile Photography. The experience of working with her was by far the best of any vendor from my wedding, and I feel like she is the kind of person that makes friends everywhere she goes.

"{Perry Vaile] is wonderful to her sweet couples, amazing behind the lens, talented beyond words and generous with her love and passion."
In a world of clickable and compelling instagram feeds showing only the highlights, and the mirage of styled wedding shoots, I know it must be hard to filter through the noise of it all as a client. What's REAL? With years in the business, clientele and events that stretch from celebrity bashes featured in magazines - to intimate, soulful private elopements on mountaintops, I've discovered reality is beautiful no matter the overall expense. I'm humbled to be doing this work day in and day out. My team and I work hard to feature and serve real people, real weddings and real moments in the framework of a purposeful editorial approach.
I strive to create imagery with a vibrant spirit all its own, and a timeless beauty to last generations. I've found that often my clients are effervescent in their approach to life and discerning in their eye for photography; they recognize a distinction in my images when they see it, and for that I'm grateful.
"Perry was an incredible joy to work with. I stumbled upon her photography and immediately knew that no one else would do for our wedding. She perfectly captured drama, light, and raw emotion. I felt very lucky that she was local and had the opportunity to meet with her prior to the wedding - even if one is not so fortunate - Perry feels like an immediate friend and puts you at ease in a moment."

My husband said she made us look like celebrities & its all thanks to her direction and great eye. Perry's attention to detail is impeccable and the care she has for her clients is unbelievable! She definitely goes above and beyond what is expected from her.

I looked for a really long time for a photographer - literally months - and kept putting off signing a contract because no one's photography felt quite right to me. I luckily stumbled upon Perry's work, and knew immediately that this was "it."

I first met Perry on my way to our rehearsal! What an amazing woman! Not only was she checking out the site (above and beyond the call of duty), but she was such a blast! From the moment I met her, I felt so comfortable. Her smile and warmth make the whole process go smoothly. As someone who is NOT photogenic at all (not being modest, it's the truth people!), she managed to make me look great! I cried when I saw our pictures the first time and everyone who has seen them can't stop commenting on how they look amazing!

My greatest and most sage advice for any bride and groom is pick Perry. She is pure magic and sunshine. Her pictures are top quality, her colors are gorgeous, she gets every good angle you have, and she miraculously captures the true emotion of your wedding. The only thing I regret is not having booked her for even more hours. On top of being such a wizard behind the camera, she is caring, incredibly personable, very professional, quick to respond to questions via email/text, and punctual -- pretty much all the things you'd wish for from your photographer. I cannot recommend her enough

I met my husband on Facebook (it's true) and have been with him for over 12 years. I received my Masters in Historic Preservation, we moved all over NC, dated for 4 years and got married on a warm September day in 2010 on the banks of a river in Charleston, SC. We have two beautiful daughters, Ireland and Sunday, who fill our days with laughter and perspective. (Because of them, I always have a soft spot for mommas on wedding days!) My self-indulgences include romance novels, red lipstick, crime shows, interior design, and Pepsi.
One of my favorite challenges is when a client tells me they aren't photogenic and I think to myself just how much I'm going to prove them wrong. Countless couples in my galleries once told me the exact same thing :)
I grew up and still live in rural North Carolina, but travel frequently and extensively for work and life. I would choose an open field, a mountain top, or a beautiful view over city-living - any day of the week & twice on Sundays.
