Hey there! I’m Jesse Crossland, a wedding and portrait photographer passionate about capturing love in its most genuine and playful moments. My goal is to make every couple feel beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera, so their personalities shine through in every image. What drives me is seeing couples light up when they see their photos—those little, in-between moments of laughter, stolen glances, and pure happiness. It’s why I do what I do.

Jesse was the photographer for my wedding and she was absolutely amazing! Jesse made everyone feel so comfortable and she was so coordinated!

Plus her kindness made it so no one looked stiff or awkward in my photos, and everyone was comfortable to be themselves on camera! Lastly Jesse coordinated with my venue to go above and beyond, if she had a question she went straight to them which took SO MUCH stress off of me!

We believe that celebrating life and hosting is one of the greatest joys imaginable. Our lives take us in so many different directions, that finding the time, much less the space to be together feels impossible. When events can be firmly put on the calendar, you have achieved an amazing feat. Gathering so many people with different lives and schedules for one night is a monumental task. We have an incredibly large family ourselves so every birthday and holiday feels like a massive event. Once you nail down the date, we want to be the space where you can host your loved ones. Where you can share food and drink, and create a memory that will stay with them for a lifetime. We would be honored if you could create those memories with us. We created this space with our family in mind and we hope we can share it with yours

Why you'll love this venue

I have photographed with Klarie on numerous occasions, including restaurant photos, family portraits, and photography of her own events. Every time, Klarie has been such a joy to work with and so easy to communicate with, so I have no doubt that clients will be in good hands planning their events here! As a wedding and event photographer, there are many things I look for in a venue which can set it apart as deserving of a recommendation. After touring Suenos, it's very clear that Klarie put a lot of thought and intention into every aspect of the venue's design. Having an outdoor space which is covered is a very smart thing with our NC weather, and having a barn-style indoor space with so many windows allows for beautiful ambient light even when indoors. The indoor bathrooms in the barn are some of the nicest venue bathrooms I've seen, and it's great to have outdoor bathrooms just a few steps away as well. Because the venue is so far off the road and set back against the treeline, the entire space feels very peaceful and secluded, while still being easily accessible. And I absolutely adore the cottage (and it's bathtub!) which would be perfect for getting ready photos. Klarie has an exceptional eye for decor and design, so I love that the spaces can be tailored to fit each of her events. Each of the venue spaces as well as the property itself feels spacious, offers a huge variety of photo backdrops perfect for any season, and has fantastic light both during the day and once the sun has set. I look forward to getting to photograph here!

Mini Acres Farm was the perfect venue for our South Asian wedding. Laura was prompt and kind in her communication, and she was very accommodating of our needs, finding the solutions we were looking for. The venue was the first and only one we saw, and we knew it was the one - the magnolia tree, the large swings, the granary, and the fountain add so much character to this already beautiful blueberry farm. The bride and groom's suites were welcoming and had plenty of room for our families to rest and get ready. Ours was a South Asian wedding, and this venue gave us the canvas to make it our own!

I worked with Mindy to design our wedding cake. I gave her a few pictures I found for inspiration and let the artist do their work and the results were lovely. Not only was the cake delicious, but it fit in well with our small wedding at the butterfly conservatory at the Durham Life and Science Museum during COVID. Our guests loved the cake and my husband and I were so happy with the way it turned out. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to their bakery for more specialty cakes.

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

I used to be a divorce attorney, I had brain surgery, and now I'm a wedding photographer. Yes, you read that right. But there's obviously more to the story. Before going to law school I went to school for photojournalism and even worked for newspapers. After brain surgery turned my life upside down, I realized I wanted to go back to my roots as a photojournalist and I wanted to capture truly joyful, enthusiastic moments and voila - I fell in love with weddings and photographing them.

Awarded Best of Zola
When it came to wedding planning, the photographer was my most important decision. That's also what I say to friends and family who are planning weddings. After everything is over, your photographs are what you have to remember a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is over in a blink! It was important to me that our photos reflected our personalities and were worthy of our walls and frames. Kivus & Camera are truly exceptional wedding photographers and were everything I had hoped for. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was open, caring, and responsive. They were dependable and fully committed to ensuring our wedding day was captured beautifully. As an LGBTQ couple, we worried the perfect photographer would be hard to find, but Elyssa and John are wonderful, and we couldn't have done better. Elyssa is a lovely person who is easy to hang out with on top of being a fabulous, talented and professional photographer. The quality of their work is simply stunning - they have an artistic, one-of-a-kind style that resulted in photos that are both beautiful and unique. We will enjoy our photos and memories from our engagement shoot and wedding day for years to come thanks to the thoughtful way Elyssa and John captured each moment. Logistically, our photos were easy to get and work with. Elyssa curates things for you in a way that makes sense. We ordered a photo book as well, and it is absolutely gorgeous. We cannot recommend Kivus & Camera enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect. In fact, they just photographed my sister's wedding this summer as well. So you know that we were all happy if we were willing to make it a family affair! You will not be sorry if you work with Kivus & Camera. (But you might be sorry if you don't!)

Hi guys! Mekai here, owner + founder of Sparks + Sand floral design. Originally from Palm Springs, California and now in Raleigh for a couple years, S+S has brought me the most incredible opportunities to share in the joy + wonder florals can bring to every person, every event, every meaningful moment. I am so darn thankful I get to connect with so many unique people with visions I cannot believe I get to bring to the table. Thank you for supporting me, + allowing me the space to be a part of your most special celebrations. I cannot wait to connect with you!

We have had sparks and sand at Lucky Star Ranch multiple times and she has been great every time. We are a small family ranch venue in the middle of the desert and she is always more than happy to help where she can even if it has nothing to do with her flowers. I've never seen a disappointed client or staff member after chatting with her. Mekai works really hard to make sure everyone is happy and will go above and beyond. We're always happy to see Sparks and Sand is coming back.
