Fofia Studio Creation 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

Hello my name is Mirabela, I am a wife, a mom and a woman on the go. Standing still is not in my nature! Many might wonder how did you come up with that name? Well my first born, was my inspiration, my drive. Sofia for the longest time couldn't pronounce the letter S and she would call herself Fofia. She has thought me to be a better person and made me a new me. The Sailboat on my logo represents my son Hunter known as Captain Hunter. There is many ways to look at things, and what of a better way other than capturing those angles with my camera. I don't just capture pictures, I capture a story, Your Story!

I loved working with Fofia Studio Creations and Mirabela! Not only are her photos gorgeous but she is so easy to work with. She really pays attention to the details and strives to make everything as easy as possible for her couples and other vendors. I definitely recommend working with her!

Starlit Beauty Co.

  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

Hi! My name is Alaina and I have been a makeup artist professionally for just over 10 years and also have been a licensed Esthetician in NC since 2010- Proud Aveda Alumni! I LOVE meeting new people and helping them feel and look their best, while also making it a comfy and safe experience for you! When you LOOK good, you FEEL good. And I truly believe that. I specialize in natural bridal and special event makeup, and have been known to go a little crazy for Halloween too. Fun facts: I'm a busy dog mom of 4, and when I'm not doing makeup looks, you could probably find me rappelling down a mountain or hiking on a trail.

I have had the privilege to see this woman grow from being just a little girl with a glint in her eye. She has always been curious and loved making people feel good. She is quite the professional.

​We are Laura & Drew! *IF YOU LOVE OUR WORK, PLEASE REACH OUT TO US ON OUR WEBSITE WWW.LAURAMEMORY.COM* Laura is a full time artist working in photography, videography, & photo editing. Drew is a Ph.D. child clinical psychologist by day & photographs with Laura on weekends. Laura's middle name is really Memory! We are super chill and down to earth and hope our photos reflect that ease. We love those candid and joyful moments, genuine laughter, beautiful details, and capturing your love story in a journalistic and natural way. Always down for adventures, non traditional weddings, and travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
Y'all... I don't even know what to say about how much I love Laura and her husband, Drew. Not only did they capture our wedding day brilliantly, their presence actually made the day even better! Laura is exceptionally great to work with. Her paperwork is easy and prompt, she responds to emails quickly, and will even set up a virtual call to discuss whatever you would like. Her prices are fair for the amount of photos you receive and the quality of her work and service. Laura did our engagement photos and wedding photos. Scheduling our engagement session was easy and stress free (as was the wedding, but you probably already guessed that!). We met her in Miami since she was down there anyway. Laura was down for an adventure so we went to a botanical garden where we got eaten by mosquitos but Laura was positive and having fun the whole time. The photos are GORGEOUS and we used them for all of our wedding materials and website. We have gotten so many compliments on all of our photos! Laura and Drew arrived a day in advance of our wedding and let us know when they arrived so we had peace of mind. They were on time to our wedding (if not early) and stayed until they were contracted to leave, not a minute early. They were having so much fun at our wedding and captured so many amazing moments. As a note, they are super fun but also take their work very seriously and were busting their butts the whole day to make sure they caught every precious moment. Laura and Drew made us feel so comfortable. They are hilarious and go-with-the-flow but also make sure they stick to the timeline and are diligent about getting every picture you want. They arranged all of our bridal party and family photos, making sure they all looked good. Laura and Drew are also very sensitive to family matters. We have some complicated family dynamics and they handled them like champions, making sure our day was stress free. It is clear that Laura and Drew are committed to making sure the couple has a wonderful stress-free day. Laura carried around my extra makeup all day so I could blot my face and I'm pretty sure Drew served us drinks at one point because we were thirsty taking pictures. All of our friends are obsessed with Laura and Drew - we still talk about how much we love them several months later - because they are actually that wonderful. Laura and Drew are EXTREMELY inclusive. We are a same-sex couple and were so comfortable with them. All of their paperwork is gender neutral, which is not something I can say for our other vendors (no shade, it's just the truth) and it was sincerely appreciated. Some of our friends use they-them pronouns and Laura was sure to get this information in advance so she could make sure to call everyone what they prefer. We received a surprisingly large sneak peak of photos the day after our wedding. All of our friends and family were shocked at how quickly we got all those photos, but it's because Laura is an editing machine. We got all our other photos back well within the timeframe provided. There are literally hundreds of photos and every single one is perfection. Laura even did a little bit of photoshopping that I requested, which I really appreciated. Long story short, look no further for the wedding (or other event!) photographer of your dreams. Laura and Drew are truly one of a kind (well, two of a kind) and they will make your wedding day exceptional! I wish I could get married again so I can hang out with them more.

We were thrilled with the stunning florals by Thistle and Moon for our wedding. Mary (the florist) expertly brought our whimsical yet modern vision to life with vibrant colors and cascading arrangements. Her creativity was evident in every detail, including the elegant white columns and monochromatic design of flowers in ikebana. The bridal bouquet was unlike any other I’ve seen with cascading yellows, greens purples and burgundy flowers. The flowers added unforgettable elegance and romance to our day. Thanks to the talented team at Thistle and Moon for making our wedding truly magical!

Welcome to Christine's Plates, a heartfelt journey inspired by the warmth of grandmother's kitchen. Our story is rooted in the rich tapestry of generational legacy, where rustic farm-inspired cuisine becomes a tribute to tradition, quality, and community. It all started with a simple apron, a symbol of love, and a spark that ignited our passion for food. Christine's Plates is more than a dining experience; it's a celebration of cherished memories and the enduring spirit of our grandmother's dream.

From start to finish these ladies were awesome. They helped stay in our budget, offered great suggestions for the menu and even supplied us with vegetarian food that everyone loved. The food was outstanding. The Mexican salad and pulled pork were phenomenal. We had a ton of food and our college kids will be eating well for a few more days. The best part of working with them is they do what they say. If they are going to call you in an hour, they actually do call! We will definitely be using them again next year for our graduation party and parents weekend. I cannot say enough HOW AWESOME THEY ARE!! Thank you so much ladies!!!

Hey there – we're glad you're here. We're a husband-and-wife wedding and portrait photography duo based in Chapel Hill, NC. We photograph weddings in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area and all over the Southeast.

Indie Bird Photo is the greatest of all time- I cannot recommend them highly enough! Above all else, Nate and Emma are both genuinely great people who are an absolute joy to be around on your wedding day (and otherwise.) They photographed our engagement session, our wedding, and even joined us for our rehearsal dinner- and each time, it felt like working with our friends. Most importantly, their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. They are both extremely talented, experienced, and they captured our wedding in the most beautifully authentic way. They brought my dream of candid/documentary style/old school film/black and white photos to life with such ease. Nate sent us a sneak peak gallery within 24 hours of our wedding- which legitimately moved me to tears. I was blown away by the way that Nate and Emma shared all of our joy and excitement and documented it all in the most beautifully artistic photos. It was so meaningful to be able to see (and share!) our photos that quickly. Our families/friends/other vendors/my coworkers, etc. cannot stop gushing about how beautiful the photos are- and we've only seen a few! Our wedding day would not have been the same without them, and I cannot thank them enough.

Inspired by everyday colors and life's subtle details, I love to add my own personal twist to the makeup looks I create. I am a North Carolina based Bridal Makeup Artist, however. I travel worldwide to provide makeup services to my brides. I consider myself to be the bride's makeup artist. Brides hire me to create the precise bridal makeup look that they have envisioned their entire lives.

Hello Tiwa, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible job you did as my makeup artist on my wedding day. Your skill and artistry not only made me feel incredibly beautiful but also played a significant role in making my day truly special. From the moment I sat in your chair until the final brushstroke, you exhibited a level of professionalism and creativity that left me in awe. Your attention to detail and your ability to enhance my natural beauty while still making me feel like myself were truly remarkable. More than just the makeup, your presence and calming demeanor throughout the wedding preparations were a source of comfort and reassurance for me. You helped create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere during a day that can sometimes be filled with nerves and excitement. You went above and beyond in making me feel and look my best, and I am immensely grateful for your talent and dedication. Your work not only made me feel confident but also contributed significantly to the overall beauty and magic of the day. Thank you for being a part of one of the most important days of my life and for making it even more special. Your role was instrumental, and I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. Wishing you continued success in your career, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. I really would like to see you again as well, and hopefully we can set up a lunch date or just hang out, but you will forever be my go to for a makeover. I will be leaving reviews and tagging your business in all my posts, and I would love to review your services for other brides looking for MUA. With heartfelt thanks and warm regards, Donna Porch

Theresa did an absolutely incredible job with make-up on my wedding day! She worked alone and was able to do make-up for myself, 2 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers all before it was time for photos! Not only that, but she did an incredible job and all 5 of us were so happy with the looks she gave us. From the beginning, I loved the way she highlighted someone's natural beauty with make-up. I loved the look she did for me because it was very natural, yet made me feel bridal and beautiful and put together! She prepped the skin beforehand and everything was very soothing and clean feeling! (I have very sensitive skin and was concerned about this, but it was no problem for her at all, and my skin felt so fresh and like it was glowing!). All of her make-up also felt very light and effortless - I could barely tell I was wearing make-up and the lashes also did not bother me. Also, I cried a majority of the day, and despite that fact the make-up lasted all throughout the day and night!! She was very kind all throughout the day, and made casual conversation with all of us - we all felt comfortable with her! I highly recommend Theresa for all your make-up needs on your wedding day, prom, or other event! She is wonderful! Thank you, Theresa, for everything!

Edible Art Bakery & Dessert Café grew from the old Southern pound cake recipes of eastern North Carolina. The family-owned business of scratch made desserts continues with not only traditional tiered cakes, but also custom individualized dessert bars. Book a take-home tasting or visit the café to let us help bring your dessert inspiration to life!

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.

Located right outside of downtown Raleigh, you will find The Historic Wakefield Barn. Built in 1934 and renovated in 2017, the barn is a luxury wedding venue in North Raleigh unmatched in its scale and charm. This is the perfect barn wedding venue that can accommodate events large and small! The Historic Wakefield Barn is a National Historic Site that sits on 14 acres – the property includes a bridal suite, horse barn, the main barn and outdoor event spaces. The venue combines the barn’s history with subtle modern touches that result in a unique event space. The property is still an active horse farm, with two horses who live on-site named Mandatory, and Jackson!

The Historic Wakefield Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was outstanding - Brent was so helpful and responsive, making the entire experience stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a unique vintage and classy feel that exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to make our day special, providing a beautiful custom "Savannah" hanger when we booked the venue and even arranging for horses to be part of our celebration. When it rained right after our ceremony, we were so grateful for the indoor/outdoor capabilities - the team had a seamless rain plan that allowed us to enjoy the rest of the evening indoors. I highly recommend The Historic Wakefield Barn to any couple looking for a stunning, versatile wedding venue.

I'm a wedding photographer based in Raleigh, but my roots trace back to the beautiful state of New Jersey. Photography has been my passion since I can remember, and I'm incredibly grateful to turn that passion into my profession. As a wedding photographer, I have the honor of capturing the most special moments of a couple's life and turning them into cherished memories that last forever. Beyond weddings, I love photographing families and people from all walks of life, freezing moments in time that tell unique stories.

I had been going back and forth with my now husband for months on if we should hire a photographer or use a family friend but one meeting with Nicole showed me that she was the perfect person for this job. She made me and Josh feel comfortable, safe and respected. I have never felt more beautiful than I did captured in these photos by Nicole. She felt like a part of my extended family that day and made the entire day perfect. If you're thinking of hiring Nicole, I would absolutely recommend it and you will not regret it.

I’m Tugba*, an artist, adventurer, explorer, mother, educator, wife and much more. I have a BA and an MFA from Boston University in visual arts. Photography has been more than a hobby for me. Throughout my life and education, I have often used photography as a medium to explore my artistic endeavors. *pronounced “Too-baa”

We loved working with Tugba so much! From the moment I (the bride) met her I knew that I wanted to work with her for our wedding, and we are so glad that we did; she was very professional (responsive to communications, patient with the number of questions we had) and accommodating throughout the entire three years that we worked with her as we had to reschedule our wedding TWICE! Tugba has such a wonderful eye and is very experienced; she captured all the key moments that we indicated we wanted captured, and took other photos we didn't even know that we wanted but are so glad that we have. Also, neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Tugba directed us into the best lighting and poses to make sure we looked our best. She and her second photographer were as unobtrusive as possible throughout the event, while still managing to capture some really amazing candid shots that we are going to cherish as much as the posed ones. We do not have the words to express how much we love our wedding photos -- they are gorgeous and every time we look at them we are able to relive our magical day. We would highly recommend Tugba for your photography needs.

I’m an NC and DESTINATION wedding, graduation, and lifestyle photographer passionate about telling true stories that evoke real and raw emotion. I’m a tar heel, iced coffee lover, and cat lady who moved from NYC to a NC horse farm as a young girl. This gave me all the versatility I’ll ever need at any shoot. I’d love to hear your story!

Labeling Giovanni's work 'great' would be an understatement! Having her as our photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding was one of the best decisions we have made. Not only is she kind, relaxed and fun while working, but the results of her photos are incredible. We have looked at our wedding photos everyday for the last 3+ months since, and have felt nothing but joy. Our appreciation for Gio is unending as we know we will hold these photos close for the rest of our lives. She captured these memories perfectly. Oh! and the #1 compliment we have received from others about our wedding is how WONDERFUL the photos are. Gio crafted photos that were exactly what we wanted yes, but she somehow also made it everyone else's favorite too! We could not recommend a photographer more than Gio.

Johnny stepped in at the last minute to save the day by providing bartending services for our wedding reception, and we couldn't be more grateful. He was incredibly responsive and helpful from the get-go. He assisted us in creating the perfect bar and cocktail menu and guided us on how much alcohol we would need to keep our guests happy, even in 100-degree weather! Johnny's signature cocktail mixes were an absolute hit. He batched cocktails for us, including a delightful blackberry margarita and a unique basil honey bourbon. The drinks were so good; I wish he would share his secrets! Nancy, our onsite bartender, was amazing. We couldn't have chosen a better person for the job! She was fantastic, keeping everyone hydrated and in a dancing mood. All of our guests loved her. We highly recommend Johnny's Bartending Service and would use them again in a heartbeat. Their service made our event truly special!

I’m Tammy Jean Lamoureux, artist, partner, mother, photographer. In the twenty years that I’ve been taking pictures, photography has been my tool for seeing beauty in the everyday. My hope is to document the biggest moments of people’s lives while also illuminating those small moments of magic that hide in plain sight. The poetry of life is everywhere, and I try to create honest, heartfelt photographs that help us carry a little of that beauty along with us. I believe in the joy of improvisation, the tenderness in awkward moments, and photographs as time machines. Your moments are so precious. I’d be honored to document them.

It's not an exaggeration to say that working with Tammy was everything we wanted and more. While Tammy's work speaks for itself, her talents go far beyond the gorgeous photographs. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and listened to. She captured and memorialized priceless moments we never thought we would get to experience again. Working with her was a joy and a total vibe. We cannot recommend her enough!

I have been in love with all things entertaining since I planned my first birthday party at the age of 5! After spending over 15 year perfecting my craft in various areas of the special events industry, I decided to pursue a lifelong passion and attend culinary school. In March of 2019 I graduated from the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York focusing on health supportive cuisine. Each celebration has a signature touch, a personal flair, it is a reflection of who you are interpreted by my hands. It is simply me, Amelia Irene Design.

It was a pleasure to work with Amelia of Amelia Irene Catering and Event Design. She knew what we needed before we knew. The days leading up to our wedding were stress free. We were truly able to enjoy our wedding day knowing that everything would be taken care of. We recommend Amelia Irene Catering and Event Design to everyone we know that is planning an event.

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.

We LOVE working with Kivus and Camera! They are professional, responsive, fun, detailed and so very talented. On the wedding day, everything runs smoothly and you can truly tell they love what they do. They do an excellent job building a strong friendship with every couple. By the next day, they already share an extensive sneak peek of the stunning images they have taken. We can't recommend them enough!

When I finished college, I decided to follow the call of my passion, the classical guitar. I bought a ticket to Spain, birthplace of the instrument and home to a rich and ancient musical tradition. After several years studying alongside some of the world’s greats and honing my performance skills, I began to hear a different call—that of my own roots, the Pacific Northwest—and I knew it was time to continue my travels. Although I have now returned home from Spain, my journey with the classical guitar is only beginning.

I am a wedding coordinator and Ryan has played at several weddings for my couples and he is amazing. Extremely talented and responsive but also punctual and warm. I love working with him and I know you will too!
