Welcome to George Joell 3 Photography

You’ve just arrived at the online home of a true Master Photographer with over 20 years of experience.  My name is George Joell III, and I’m honored to share my passion and expertise with engaged couples who want more than just snapshots, they want legacy-quality portraits and wedding albums.

I’m proud to be a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP), one of only a few in North Carolina, and a Photographic Craftsman, a title awarded by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) for excellence in photography education. I also served on the Board of Directors for PPA, and I’m a former President of the Professional Photographers of North Carolina (PPNC). With Fellowship and Associate Degrees from PPNC, I’ve had the privilege of teaching photographers across the country.

Despite these accolades, my rates remain accessible, often comparable to photographers who are just getting started. Why? Because I believe in delivering world-class photography without inflated pricing.
