I was in need of some new professional headshots, but was not excited about how uncomfortable the whole process might be. Thankfully the good reputation that preceded Wandering Ducks Photo & Film LLC was one well earned, and Honorée McGraw made the whole shoot fun and easy — and best yet, she had a super quick turn…

Honorée was our adventure elopement photographer in Asheville, NC in September 2024. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from the start! She listened to our vision and brought it to life while also ensuring we were comfortable and ourselves throughout the whole day. We had such a fun day throughout! We had requested a second photographer and Honorée took care of finding an additional photographer and videographer to help pull it all together, it was a fantastic team! The photographs and video turned out beautifully and arrived sooner than expected per our contract so that was an awesome surprise, we are so, so thrilled with them!! On top of the beautiful work, I wanted to also take the time to review Honorée's adventure elopement guidance. We are not from the area and prior to our elopement, neither of us had ever been to NC. Honorée scheduled the day so we were able to see downtown Asheville as well as go on a hike for our adventure elopement. It was planned perfectly and resulted in really beautiful memories. We are so grateful to have found Honorée and Wandering Ducks Photo and Film, we will cherish these memories forever. We highly recommend her for any photo/video needs, especially an elopement!

I was in need of some new professional headshots, but was not excited about how uncomfortable the whole process might be. Thankfully the good reputation that preceded Wandering Ducks Photo & Film LLC was one well earned, and Honorée McGraw made the whole shoot fun and easy — and best yet, she had a super quick turn around time and got me a portfolio of portraits that I’m actually really happy with. Definitely check out Honorée if you’re in the Triad and need to have some special moments or life transitions captured in a beautiful way!

We had an incredible experience from beginning to end! Honeree took the time to talk to and connect with us and the results of this understanding is evident in the beautiful photos. I can’t get over the joy in the moments she was able to capture. Will definitely book again in the future.
