Hi! I'm Darbey! I'm the girl behind the camera that will most likely cry a tear or two during the father/daughter dance (it gets me pretty much every single time!). I planned my own wedding for over two years, so I totally understand the love and care that goes into the planning of each wedding. I love that I have the opportunity to be part of my couples' wedding day, capturing all the pretty details and memories, but the thing I love more is being able to capture true love and my couples' stories.

Darbey photographed our engagement as well as our wedding. She was so fun to work with. Helped put us at ease and had us laughing the whole time! She and her second shooter Jordan got along so well with the bridal party and families and got so many compliments. She got us our wedding sneak peak photos a few days after and they were incredible!

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer who's not only incredibly talented but also an absolute blast to hang out with, you’ve found your match in Darbey! First off, we couldn’t be happier with our photos– they perfectly capture the day! They’re wistful, romantic, and lovely. The poses she had us try along with the framing and editing were so beautiful and perfectly matched the mood of our wedding! While looking through the sneak peek and then the gallery, we both could NOT stop smiling!
Beyond her incredible talent for capturing magic moments – Darbey knows how to make a wedding day feel like a non-stop party. We had no clue how big of a deal the photographer’s vibe could be until we met her. Everyone (from our 3-year-old ring bearer to my 92 year-old grandpa) she photographed was laughing and genuinely smiling (because she’s absolutely hilarious and so much fun) and it shines through in every shot! Also, Darbey really went above and beyond for us in so many ways! From the planning process, through the big day, all the way to getting us our photos way ahead of schedule, she was so selfless and generous. We’re convinced she’s an angel in disguise! ♥
So, if you're getting married in the Asheville area and you're after a top-notch photographer who's also just a genuinely awesome human, Darbey's a wonderful choice. Our wedding day wasn't just beautifully captured, it was actually elevated by this amazing person. We're not just walking away with fantastic photos; we're leaving with a new bestie. Darbey, we can't thank you enough for turning our wedding day into a stress-free, laughter-filled dream!

If you have the pleasure of working with Darbey Roberts, then you have the pleasure to be working with a true artist. Darbey’s work is why I reached out to her. I was super picky about our wedding photographer, as I really don’t like what’s currently trending (over exposure, over saturation). Darbey shoots everything raw and then she unleashed her creative talent into her edits. Her true to nature finish with emphasis on making the colors come alive just spoke straight to my heart. Little did we know that when we met her in person for our engagement photos that we were also in the presence of a comedian!!! Not kidding, almost every minute we were with Darbey, she was making us laugh. We had the absolute best time getting to know her and she made us feel 100% comfortable in front of the lens. I also had a bridal portrait session with her and it was just her and I at our venue, and true to our first time together, my belly hurt by the end of it from all the laughs. It was also an incredibly fun day, and Darbey was there to help me from taking my dress on and off, holding my train, and just taking the lead on getting me a variety of portraits I’ll cherish forever.
On the day of our wedding, we are blessed to say it was a perfect day for us. Darbey created for us a memorialization of one of life’s biggest moments for and we couldn’t be more in awe of our album. It is absolutely stunning. We are endlessly thankful to have worked with Darbey Robert’s, and would 1000% do it all again with her. Wedding planning is a roller coaster of an experience, and you really bond with everyone involved with helping make your dream vision come to life, and having Darbey capture it all is easily the best decision we made.
To say Darbey is a joy to be around while working is an understatement. She delivers the most high quality wedding photos you can lay eyes on, and I have the utmost respect for her and her work.

Darbey was such a delight! She made my husband and I feel comfortable from the get go being very responsive to emails and helpful as we determined our timeline. On the day of the wedding Darbey and her second photographer Jordan were timely and melded into our family as if they knew everyone already. Thank you for making the photoshoot feel easy and comfortable the photos are amazing!

Darbey was the absolute best! Her sneak peaks gave me chills and I can't wait to see the rest. She's so very kind and makes herself relatable, making it feel as though she was simply a friend attending. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She made us all feel so comfortable and she takes the best shots. I'd choose Darbey all over again.

We absolutely LOVED having Darbey as our photographer. She was able to accommodate and adjust to our crazy family as well. We got sneak peeks of our wedding after the weekend, and the mood and emotion that she was able to capture made it all the more romantic than it already was. Did I mention one of our shots was featured by the Lillian West bridal instagram?

Darbey was so easy to work with even through the forever changing schedule of COVID and our forever messy year we had going on. She was so willing to work with us. She also made the day as easy and enjoyable. Her and her partner was just all around amazing to work with.

Darby is amazing! She did my wedding this past June and the pictures were amazing! As the bride you look back and don’t remember much of the day but looking at pictures make you think your living the day all over again. Darby caught every move and and more she made the pictures so fun and and we just had a great time with her! I definitely recommend her 100% for wedding pictures and just pictures in general!
