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.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Tammy! In addition to being so kind, professional, and easy to work with, the quality of her work speaks for itself. Tammy is truly an artist. The photos we received from our engagement shoot and wedding are more than we could have hoped for. Her work captures the beauty in the small moments throughout the day in addition to the big ones. These small moments helped to tell such an intimate story of our wedding day and are some of the photos that I treasure the most! Tammy made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She provided a perfect balance of subtle guidance while also allowing us to interact in a way that felt natural to us, resulting in photos that really captured our personalities and relationship. When planning our wedding, we knew that the decision of booking a photographer was one of the most important that we would make, and I am so grateful that we made the decision to go with Tammy. I would 100% work with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in NC! P.s. wanted to give a special shout out to her black and white photos! She is truly a magician at editing.

Marlon and his team (he always brings 2 if not more videographers to the wedding) help coach the wedding party for fun poses and shots and keep everyone laughing. Special Capture is not the "fly on the wall" type of videographer, they will be in the action capturing every detail even on the dance floor which makes for some awesome videos.

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.

  • Serves Durham, NC

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.

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 had the absolute pleasure of having Lane as our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough good things about her. From start to finish, Lane demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and skill that truly made our special day even more memorable. She was always in the right place at the right time, capturing all the important moments. This allowed my spouse and me to fully enjoy our day while knowing that every precious moment was being expertly documented. Additionally, Lane and her second shooter (Julian- who is an absolute rock star!) were great at managing our entire family and bridal party to ensure we got beautiful shots. (This is not an easy task- Thank you!!!) The pictures that Lane delivered were nothing short of stunning. She has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for capturing the most beautiful shots. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and love you could feel in every single shot. We couldn't be happier with the final product. It was evident that she genuinely cared about capturing our day just the way we envisioned it. We are incredibly grateful to Lane and Julian for preserving our wedding day and bridals portraits with such elegance and skill, and we highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a talented photographer.

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've worked Hands-On with Maria. She was extremely professional and Goofy and funny she made the experience extremely fun. If I had the chance to work with her again I 100% would. She's an extremely creative photographer and makes her clients feel so welcome and comfortable. Have him a chance to work with her has been an amazing experience and has really grown my own work. I cannot be more thrilled with the experience I gained working with her.

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox.

Choosing Felisha to be our wedding photographer truly was one of best decisions we made throughout our planning process. Right from the first phone call with her we could feel her excitement, passion and love for being a photographer. She made us feel comfortable and was there with us every step of the way for the whole time we got to work together. We chose to do our engagement photos with her and she knew just how to shake out all our nerves/shyness, making the whole process fun and stress free. The engagement photos were so beautiful and perfect to use for our Save the Dates. On our wedding day, Felisha was a constant source of genuine joy. She worked with our families and the vendor team seamlessly. She was always there to guide us, she kept everyone on time and she reminded me on multiple occasions to take a second to soak everything in. I had numerous family members and friends come up to me to tell me how amazing our photographer was throughout the night and in the weeks that followed. She laughed with our loved ones, she cried with our loved ones and she broke it down on the dance floor with everyone all while taking the most beautiful photos. And don't even get me started on the film! I will never run out of good things to say about Felisha. She photographed moments that we will cherish forever. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and on the day of our wedding she knew exactly how to capture all the special snippets of our day that would mean the most to look back on. We love Felisha and if we could do it again we would absolutely choose her!

I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!"

The quality of Kaitlyn's work is simply stunning, with a documentary-style approach and gorgeous natural lighting that perfectly encapsulated the passion and love of our special day.

I was born and raised in High Point NC. I have always enjoyed being around a camera, at a very young age I would have glamour shots done at my dads house and I think I knew then that I wanted to do something to capture other peoples special moments. When you step in front of my camera on your special day you will never have to worry about how to pose yourself or others, I will take care of everything for you. Once you get your images back you will be able to relive your entire day from start to finish, every small detail will be captured. When I'm not capturing someones special day, you can find me hanging out with my 3 kids and husband!

I couldn’t say enough great things about Chelsea. From the first time I talked to her (we bonded about healthcare problems haha) I knew she was who I needed for my day. Fast forward to our engagement photos, she literally hiked basically straight uphill for a mile with us AND we saw a snake and she still kept going and got the PERFECT photos, even though we all forgot water. We also did a few other sessions with her in between which were also amazing. Then the wedding day comes, she was the MVP for our day and helped with anything I needed help with, even if it had nothing to do with photography. We just got the album and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, not to mention you get SO many pictures. She’s not only an amazing photographer, but such an all around amazing person that eases your mind as a bride throughout the day. There is no way I could have chosen someone better than her and I’m SO grateful I found her on here!

I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up being in front of a camera doing pageants and modeling. I know what it is like to have no direction at a photoshoot and leave disappointed. I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

My wife and I had nothing short of a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She was very helpful and coordinated in planning the photo schedule, and made sure that everything happened on time despite certain delays! Stephanie was always polite and professional, easy to work with, fairly priced, and flexible (we had to have a relatively late notice change of venue). And finally, the photos were beautiful!

Hi! We are Jonathan & Emma Cunanan. Our whole story is centered on spontaneity & romance. We met, became best friends, & within a month we fell in love & by that October we were married. We are in love with love, & our business is founded upon that- making sure your day is celebrated with joy & completeness. We want to capture your moment right where you want it so you never have to forget what a moment felt like. Weddings are a core memory, & you should never have to compromise exquisite memories. That’s what we’re here for. We would LOVE to tell your story for you.

I am so happy we used this wonderful and talented team to take photos for our 15th wedding anniversary. We did not have real wedding photos, and I've always dreamed of having a picture-perfect portrait of my husband and I to put on the wall. The Cunanans directed our poses, used different angles, and got so many wonderful shots. I'm so pleased!

BWC Photos (Brotha With A Camera)

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Durham, NC

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I wish I could give Lionel more than 5 stores because he truly is an immaculate photographer. My husband and I decided to have a smaller, more intimate wedding and Lionel elevated the entire day for us. From pre-ceremony pics, during the ceremony and afterwards he was absolutely professional, joyous to my hubby and our guests and he captured all of the quirky moments that are the essence of our love. He has a keen eye for detail and finds beauty in every aspect of the room to capture. I highly recommend Lionel aka Brotha with a Camera for your wedding needs no matter how big or small.
