Growing weary in the search for the right photographer? Maybe interactions are feeling kinda transactional, you just can't picture yourself in the galleries you're seeing, or you're tired of hearing we all love pizza, margs, and wine nights? Now I don't want to start of this relationship with a lie...I honestly love those things too. BUT, as you search for the right person to capture your loved ones, your growing kiddos, or your big day, who can blame you for wanting to connect a little deeper?

Nicki is phenomenal!! We are SO lucky to have found her. Our photos are absolutely amazing. Nicki has been kind and patient with us throughout this entire process. We have even hired her for our professional headshots… and we probably will for every event! Thank you Nicki!!!!

Fancy This Photography

Durham, NC
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Fancy This Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Amanda Law and her team were incredibly professional, individualized, and reliable in their communication style. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the essence of our special day perfectly. The two photographers felt like friends we would have invited to the wedding anyway, and they were so fun to work with. They developed a great timeline for photography to ensure all of the photos we wanted were captured. Highly recommend Amanda Law and the whole Fancy This Photography group - we hope they like us because we are hiring them for all of our life events!

We’re Halima and Imroz, your friendly neighborhood photographers at HiShutter. We believe the best photos happen when you’re having fun, and we’re here to make that happen. Expect some laughs, a lot of love, and epic photos of your big day!

"Choosing Halima and Imroz was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! L they pros behind the camera, and they made us feel so comfortable, we forgot we were even being photographed! We laughed, we joked, and they felt like an extension of our wedding party—like two friends who just happened to be snapping the most incredible shots. If you’re camera-shy (or your partner is!), Halima and Imroz make the whole experience fun and easy. They know how to capture those true-to-life moments while making sure you feel like the most glamorous version of yourself. Not to mention, they’re the ultimate dream team for fusion weddings! Their background made us feel so seen and understood. Long story short: Book them. Thank us later!"

Amy Ellis Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.

From our first call with Amy, we were impressed by her warmth, timely responses, and detail-oriented communication style. On the day of our wedding, Amy and her team seamlessly blended into the background, capturing all the candid, in-between moments that we will cherish forever. Amy made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and we hardly even noticed her taking photos - yet the final results were nothing short of extraordinary. The 50 (!!) preview photos she provided just days after our wedding were a wonderful surprise, and we are thrilled with the quality and value of their work (she even edited out a scrape I had from running). We cannot recommend Amy highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional photograger to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

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!

During our engagement session Laurel and Jakub hopped on our gator and rode around the farm with us and even crawled under our electric fence to enter our horse pasture, while getting all friendly with one of the horses! During the bridal session they both made me feel like I was literally the only one that mattered. I felt like the prettiest person and Laurel was the ultimate hype person.

I've been putting off this review for a while but only because I don't feel like I have ability to express how much I LOVED working with Jessica and how great our photos turned out! Jessica takes the time to get to know you and your partner and what your needs are. She is thorough in making sure you go over expectations, scenery, lighting, who will be in your photos, etc. She is punctual, excited, and very easy to work with! Often it can be awkward taking photos that are supposed to represent the intimate aspects of your marriage/relationship but Jessica puts you at ease and is so understanding of the situation. She gives great advice and wonderful options to choose from but if you don't love ALL of your photos I would be extremely surprised. Due to Covid-19, we had to call off the large scale wedding we had planned, we still got married, still had Jessica come for our photos but to be honest my expectation were not super high only because the lighting in the venue was terrible. While I should have never doubted Jessica's magic, but I thought to myself "how good can they be with this lighting and this boring room?". It BLEW ME AWAY how wonderful all the photos turned out despite my concerns and I ended up posting EVERY SINGLE PICTURE to our Facebook for our friends and family to see. That's how great they were! I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much Three Region Photography!

Hi, I'm Coby! I am so excited you are here! It is a privilege to be invited to some of the most pivotal and beautiful moments in people's lives. My couples choose me to preserve true, honest memories of their newly forming family tree. They trust me to truly see these connections and document them with professionalism and artistic ability so that they come away with photos that are treasured for the rest of their lives.

I worked with Coby at a fall wedding in Raleigh, and she was a dream photographer for my client. She spent several months before the wedding helping myself and my client prepare for their wedding, which made wedding photography the day of extremely smooth. From the first moment of inquiry to well beyond the final delivery of the wedding gallery, she made the whole wedding planning process a team event.

A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Florida, and now I am back in North Carolina. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging at home with my two Aussies (because, let’s be honest, they run my household). Dogs are my world, which is why I’m always equipped with at least two lint rollers during every shoot (I’ve pretty much achieved Master Lint Roller status by now). Every moment is special and worth capturing, and my job is to help tell your story in a way that honors your love and feelings for one another.

Blythe Eland Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding day. Blythe Eland is not who we originally booked with (although now I wish we had known about her from the start!) The night before our wedding, our wedding photographer let us know that one half of their two person team would not be able to make it and that Blythe Eland would be filling in as second shooter. I was certainly nervous to hear this information (especially the night before) but it was clear on the day of the wedding that I had nothing to worry about. Blythe arrived early and went above and beyond. Her photo ideas and instructions were fantastic, and she seamlessly took the lead to ensure our day went off without a hitch. We were so grateful for her professionalism and talent. Since our wedding, we've had the pleasure of working with Blythe two additional times and have been consistently impressed by her responsiveness, timeliness, and the beautiful photos she captures. We cannot recommend Blythe Eland Photography highly enough.

Hi! I'm Elise and I have been a professional photographer since 2020 and have found a love and passion for capturing weddings! I've been married to my guy since 2010 and have 4 kids. My favorite part of a wedding day is the first look and dancing at the reception! I love sushi, hiking with my family, and my plant babies

Of all of the vendors and activities surrounding our wedding, aside from actually marrying the man of my dreams, the most important thing to me was the photos. Elise and her assistant did a beautiful job capturing our day and all of the special moments. We were able to get the shots that mattered to us most. I would use her again in a heartbeat!

It is the biggest honor to photograph your wedding. Your wedding is a day you hope to remember for the rest of your life and I don’t take my role as a wedding photographer lightly. Whether you’re a newly engaged couple looking for a photographer for your wedding or just an engagement session I have something for you! The best moments on your wedding day are the unexpected, intimate moments.

I will post and gush about Katey as a photographer for forever. She has been a WONDERFUL woman to work with. When I first posted looking for a photographer - instead of pitching me on the phone, we met on a video call - talked about me, my wedding vision, and I never felt any pressure from her. ( I knew on the call I wanted her but what is life without a little suspense) Since then she has been a dream. She is SO communicative, she has been flexible, and it was so comfortable to be photographed by her. Besides having the actual BEST experience - both in how she worked to make it comfortable for everyone (me and my husband) and then (me and all of our families on the day of). she is also a KILLER photographer - I will always always always refer back to her incredible skill with how she photographed my day. She truly has her own vision for capturing all of (and ofcourse the best) moments in a wedding. I cannot say enough nice things about Katey. ** funnily enough my sister in law got married about two weeks before me and ended up liking Katey's pictures in our wedding better than her own. So if you read nothing but my last sentence - you will truly love working with Katey - your pictures will turn out incredible and it will be such a great and natural experience.

Halifax Hill Studios 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Durham, 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!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Durham, NC

I am a photographer in the Raleigh, NC area but I am totally willing to travel. I love to capture life and all its glory. I am originally from Glasgow, Scotland which is why my company's name is Beatha. It is Gaelic for LIFE. I capture life in the most raw form and curate it for my clients to enjoy for years. I love taking a moment in someone's life and making it last a life time. I love to shoot documentary style with very candid moments. People's true emotions are more clear this way and I always find it the most beautiful.

I recently had a photo shoot with Corinne and I can't recommend them enough! From the moment we started, their fun and easygoing personality made the entire experience so relaxing. They have a natural ability to put you at ease, making it feel less like a formal shoot and more like hanging out with a friend. The creative direction they provided was spot-on, and I loved how they encouraged me to be myself. The photos turned out amazing—beautifully capturing the moments we shared. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines talent with a laid-back vibe, Beatha Photography is the one to book!

Nova Vista Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Durham, NC

Husband and wife duo conquering the world of wedding photo and film in the Carolinas and beyond. Bilingual (Spanish and English) photographers who love digital but have a special spot for albums and metal/acrylic wall art. Our packages include complementary engagement sessions as we want our couples to feel comfortable behind the lens and get you photo ready for your wedding day!

I absolutely love working with Brian and Daniela. As a planner, it is crucial to me that I work with wedding vendors that are responsive, considerate of our couples, and that work hard to ensure the best quality work. Nova Vista is an awesome example of that. They really get to know their couples and become comfortable with them, and they take great pride in providing the most seamless and professional service. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photography team that is truly sweet, pays attention to the details, and aims to give the best of the best.

Fofia Studio Creation

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!

Hello Friends, my name is Moira and I'm a professional portrait and wedding photographer based in Raleigh, North Carolina although I'm available for travel and love meeting new people everywhere! I'm super passionate about what I do and love creating and capturing genuine, candid, and timeless moments. I'm there to capture the joy, laughter, beauty, and raw emotion of your wedding day.

Moira was the best photographer we could have hoped for! Not only was she flexible in the ever changing craziness of the day, but she made it so fun! We laughed pretty much the whole day through and it literally felt like we were working with a friend. On top of all that, the photos that we’ve received so far are absolutely amazing! She really captured the best parts of the entire day.
