Hello and welcome to George Joell 3 Photography. My name is George and I am honored to be able to offer expert photography service to the Fayetteville North Carolina, Raleigh North Carolina, Fort Bragg North Carolina, Coastal Beaches, and surrounding North Carolina and South Carolina Cities to include Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach.
As a Retired Army First Sergeant and Veteran, I really understand the need to capture and preserve the special moments that life gives us. Whether it is an engagement portrait session, bridal portrait session, wedding ceremony, family portraits, maternity session, newborn or child portraits, or a special event like a birthday, prom, or military ball, having the right person to capture that event is very important. I believe that I am that person.
I can remember my own wedding when I barely arrived just one day prior. I was in Advance Military training and was initially denied the chance to take leave to get married. To make a long story short, the power of a mother's determination and a two Star General made my presence possible. That day was so special, that I could not imagine not having it recorded in photographs, preserved for a lifetime. My Fiancee' (now lovely wife of 27 years), mother, mother-in-law, and family members planned a great wedding and reception. The event was so spectacular and full of joy. I can remember the day so vividly with the aid of our beautiful wedding albums and portraits. Without those images, most of the event would have been a blur. My cousin paid for a professional wedding photographer to catch every detail of our wedding day as a gift, and he was the best. Like I often tell the story, if I could locate him today, I would buy every negative that he owns of our event. Our wedding album is still one of the best albums in our house. He is still my hero and was worth every dime. I owe my cousin so much for her generosity.

My initial visit with George P Joell 3 Photography was nothing short of an exceptional one. I needed a headshot for my LinkedIn page and needed it quick and George made it happen! He fit me in a couple days after submitting my request which allowed me to have my LinkedIn page prepared so coaches and recruiters can view prior to my certification training next week.
Not only was he amenable to my immediate request, I truly appreciated the health consciousness of his studio as well. I was checked for COVID like symptoms prior to entering. I also liked the fact that George remains professional at all time and the work he does is phenomenal! George is my number one pick for a photographer and I'll always recommend anyone to him if asked.

I'm new to the are and I was searching for a photographer when I came across George's website. He had some awesome reviews so I went ahead and booked an appointment. George was so amazing, he took extra time to make sure I was ready for every pose. He made awesome suggestions on the backgrounds to use for the photos and even had some jewelry I was able to borrowed. I'm so incredibly happy with his work and my photos. Will definitely choose him again for my next photo shoots.

My experience with George was absolutely amazing! He was professional, friendly, and really helped me feel comfortable. I was super nervous about my professional headshot, and he made sure to ease my nerves, be patient, and take multiple photos until I was happy with the perfect shot. The photo completely exceeded my expectations! Thanks so much George!

I recently needed an event to be photographed for publication in a national magazine. George was recommended by a colleague and I couldn't be happier. His professionalism shows in the quality of his work. He was easy to work with and created a positive experience. He is an excellent videographer as well. I would highly recommend George.
