  • Classic style
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Drexel, NC

Hey! I'm Amanda. I’m a mama to Loretta Grace & Amelia Faye, wife to John & friend to YOU!! I love natural posing and I am a true candid photographer. Prompting you to do the silliest things, knowing you think I’m crazy, and then showing the end result is one of my favorite things ever. I take a lot of pride in my work, my business, and the overall customer service I provide my clients. It’s important to me that you feel heard, seen, and respected. I spend my free time Diamond painting, listening to true crime, and eating way too much sushi.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Loretta Grace Photography who truly captured the essence of the moment. Their attention to detail and creative eye resulted in stunning photos that exceeded all my expectations. Not only were they professional and easy to work with, but they also made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this photographer to anyone looking for exceptional quality and a unique perspective in their photoshoots. Thank you for creating such beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

Captured By Celeste

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Drexel, NC

Hey there! I'm your friendly neighborhood photographer, Celeste. As a Pisces, it feels like capturing love stories was written in the stars for me—romantic and creative by nature, I pour my heart and soul into every image I create. If you're into Enneagrams, I'm a 4, which means I embrace individuality and artistry in everything I do (though I'm still figuring out all the quirks of what that means!).

Awarded Best of Zola
Celeste is the absolute best at what she does. She is professional and detail oriented but also able to maintain a close relationship and have fun with her clients. I was a massive skeptic on professional photography- as me and my soon to be husband did not like being in-front of the camera. However, Celeste was so easy to open up with and not only was the experience to die for- she makes excellent company. My fiancé and I have grown close to Celeste and we look forward to our plans with her in the future. She is kind and open minded. She is punctual and flexible. She is witty and professional. Celeste has worked with my family and I to make sure that she makes it happen. My maternity photo location ended up being inaccessible the day of our session- and Celeste went above and BEYOND anything I could have asked if her. She set up a glamping tent on her OWN property and made magic with the circumstances we were given. She did my maternity photos in November of 2022, our first family photos in August of 2023, and will be not only photographing but a GUEST at our wedding in March of 2024. If you are new to professional pictures- or just looking for a breath of fresh air - I could not more passionately suggest anybody than Celeste.

Halifax Hill Studios

  • Serves Drexel, NC

We're Giuliana, Brian, and Lane of Halifax Hill Studios! A photography trio based just North of Raleigh: we love photographing weddings, engagements, family portraits and everything in between! Giuliana and Brian, the founders of Halifax Hill Studios, are married as of Fall 2021! Lane is a good friend of Giuliana and Brian, who just recently joined the Halifax Hill Studios team. Most of our wedding packages include a second shooter, so we tag-team throughout wedding day to provide you with the very best service and amazing photographs.

We knew after speaking to Giuliana on the phone that we wanted to book with her. Our wedding was at the Victorian so we knew she was the expert on places for photo and how the space worked. She is such a fun (and cool) person and she worked with such a peace and ease on our wedding day. I felt like as soon as she arrived, the day was just full of fun things! She gives clear yet inviting direction with poses (we as a couple and individuals definitely liked having someone direct us in posing so we didn't just stand there awkwardly). I never felt like she was bossing us around and she asked several times if there were additional things we wanted photographed or groups of people. Giuliana made us feel right at home in front of her camera and our pictures are INCREDIBLE. I cannot speak enough to her patience and ease with family photos, portraits, and other vendors. I felt like she had quite the challenge with all of our portraits and things going on but she handled it with such ease and it truly flew by. We actually ended up with extra time to be alone during cocktail hour which we wanted but I was never sure we would actually get it with our photo list, but she made it happen! We also had Giuliana come up to us in DC for our engagement shoot which was so much fun. We had a blast shooting at the monuments and she handled the people and weather changes with such an ease which took a lot of stress off of us!

  • Serves Drexel, NC

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

Kate was simply the best and easiest choice for my wedding. Not only did she and her crew take the loveliest photos that I will always treasure, but her other skills saved my day! Her kind supportive words when I was feeling overwhelmed and quick hands with a dress mishap got me down the aisle without a snag. Blessed to have had her shoot my special day and if I ever needed professional photos again I know immediately who I’d call. We love you!

Jason Snorlax Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold! I came to a crossroad after my son was born of whether I should return to work or pursue my passion with photography. Let’s just say I took a jump and went into business around 2012. It’s been a daring journey with the most awesome clients ever!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonathan. We found Jonathan through a friend, and he shot both our engagement photos and our wedding! Throughout the entire process, Jonathan wasn't just our photographer -- we really felt like he has become a dear friend to us. When we wanted to film our ceremony at the last minute due to family who weren't able to travel, Jonathan and Candice said, "No problem!" and filmed our ceremony, and got us the video within a week of the wedding, too, so our grandmas can watch. We will always treasure that he did that for us. Jonathan is incredibly talented and takes beautiful candid photos as well as the perfect posed photos we needed with our family. He is incredibly prompt in responding to questions, and delivers photos at an incredible speed too! We were able to view so many wonderful photos just 2 days after our wedding, and it's just the previews! And hey, if you are throwing a PARTY, Jonathan's dance floor photos cannot be beat. TL;DR: He is a gift to wedding photographers everywhere, we love Jonathan.

Are all brides that anxious on their wedding day? I certainly was! In addition to “typical wedding jitters” my dress hadn’t come back perfect from the seamstress… I was a wreck. I worried about how the photos would come out even with the best photographer. Andrea was amazing. Most of the time I didn’t know she was there. She got the best and most candid shots without any distraction (she must be part ninja). Andrea also got all of the wedding shots I’d requested through communication before the wedding and also had fun ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of. I received my photos within weeks of the wedding and I was amazed at how beautiful they turned out! The photos tell a story of a beautiful day and don’t even show a hint of the worries I had behind the scenes. I would recommend Andrea Coon photography without any reservation!

And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda both on weddings and as my co-host on the Super Gay Wedding podcast and she's earned my absolute highest recommendation. I literally recommend her to all of my clients. Beyond being a consummate professional and a lovely human, Amanda is a trained fine artist with an incredible eye for lighting and composition. If you leave a little wiggle room in your wedding day schedule, you'll have an album full of beautiful memories that also happen to be fine works of art. Amanda is a true team player who will do whatever it takes to make your wedding day work. An avid traveler and hiker with a small Jeep obsession, she'll also do that WHEREever it needs to be done. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Amanda RIGHT NOW.

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun! My job doesn't stop at creating timeless photos for you, it extends to offering you a sense of peace and showing you that a wedding/elopement day doesn't have to be stressful. Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

Having Kalypso on our team as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband is historically not the best at genuine looking forced smiles, yet our wedding pictures all turned out so well! Yes, he was very happy on our wedding day, but in the moment when you tell him to pose, it usually doesn't go so well. Kalypso has all sort of tricks up her sleeve to fix this, and she is such a joyous ball of energy that she has us legitimately laughing and smiling the entire time anyways. She was so easy to coordinate with, and her communication and promptness are on point. On to the most important part though - the pictures! They are AMAZING!! They perfectly capture the best day of our lives and work in all the little details so well. We are having a hard time figuring out what to frame where in our house - there are that many PERFECT pictures. It was Kalypso's first day shooting a wedding at our specific venue, and you would would think it was her own house based on how well she captured it all and worked so well in the space. I will certainly be trying to work with her for future life photoshoots and recommending her to all my friends!

Photography has always been a part of my life in some shape or form. As a young girl, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a photographer. I wasn't sure what kind I would be or how I would get there, but here I am as a wedding and elopement photographer. I value serving my couples first, and creating stunning images second. Capturing your unique love story is so important to me. In every session, I want you guys to fall in love all over again. My goal that you leave your session with a smile on your face and a heart overflowing with joy. It is always a pleasure to serve couples in love!

Looking for a photographer who not only takes great pictures but is also professional, easy to work with, and able to capture the essence of your wedding day? LOOK NO FURTHER. You have found her ! When I saw Catherine's work on Instagram I knew her style captured everything I wanted. When it came time for my now husband to pop the question, I wrote down Catherine's information as my top photographer choice. She then captured the biggest "yes" of my life, and I KNEW I needed her on my wedding day to continue the vision. The entire time up until the wedding, Catherine communicated with me and made sure she knew the vision I had for my wedding day. Behind the lens, on our wedding day, she was constantly encouraging us and managed to have ALL of the family photos flow seamlessly. Within the next few days, I was getting photos back and in just a month my whole album was ready! Talk about a quick turnaround!! We cannot recommend Catherine enough, and we hope she gets the opportunity to capture the memories of your day so you can have thee most beautiful photos of a lifetime hanging in your home.

Specializing in timeless documentary wedding, elopement, & portraiture photography with a fun, artistic, creative flair. Elizabeth strives to capture every fleeting moment of your special day, so that you and your loved ones will have those memories to cherish for a lifetime. Elizabeth enjoys building relationships with her couples, many whom she has kept in touch with over the years. Many of her wedding couples are repeat clients - maternity, newborn, family, anniversaries!

Elizabeth was the photographer for my parents’ vow renewal, so when my now-husband and I decided to get married in a tiny, intimate ceremony in my parents’ backyard, I knew I wanted to hire her! From the beginning she was nothing but enthusiastic, kind, and professional. With everything happening with Covid, she was very understanding about my request of her to wear a mask and try her best to stick to the 6ft distancing. She’s a natural with her photos and captured some very sweet moments that I never even knew happened! I’m extremely picky with pictures of myself, too, but I found PLENTY of photos that Elizabeth took that I am THRILLED with! You absolutely will love working with Elizabeth - she is so fun, so sweet, and does incredible work!!
