Kivus & Camera 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Durham, NC

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.

The vibrant colors that Elyssa captures are my favorite! Besides being super talented she is a delight to be around. She is approachable, yet completely professional. I have worked with Elyssa on many weddings and it has always been a great experience. I would highly recommend Kivus & camera!

Tuuba Tuncer Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Durham, NC

I’m Tuuba*, an artist, adventurer, explorer, mother, educator, wife and much more. I have 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.

Oury Memories

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Durham, NC

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Oury Memories provided fantastic wedding photography for our special day. Grace was extremely responsive and dedicated throughout the planning process, taking time to understand our vision and priorities for capturing the event. On the wedding day itself, Grace and her team went above and beyond to get creative shots, even climbing on chairs and furniture 7 months pregnant! We're so grateful we chose Oury Memories to document memories we'll treasure forever.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma was an absolute dream to work with! Quick to respond to messages; very helpful with location scouting and wardrobe choices. She promised to have our gallery edited and delivered within 2 weeks of our shoot date and she did not disappoint! My fiancé and I are absolutely in love with our photos - they're everything we had hoped for, and then some! I sent Emma a plethora of inspo photos on Pinterest and now I feel like I have my very own Pinterest board of photos that are all of me and my fiancé - they are perfection! We hope to work with Emma again in the future - cannot recommend her enough!

Megan Pitts Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Durham, NC

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

Megan was the best photographer we could have ever asked for! She captured every aspect of our wedding day from start to finish. She was on time, communicative, and sent the pictures back in a timely manner. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped pose us when need. She also created our wedding album that came out beautifully!

It is the greatest privilege in life to capture such meaningful photos on the most important days of our lives. The trust and vulnerability from each person I work with is something I take very seriously. I am so thankful to choose this profession because of how much joy it brings me to document two people coming together in the name of Love, with their most cherished friends and family surrounding them.

Where do I start? Casie’s all around professionalism and talent make her stand out in the large crowd of wedding photographers. I hired Casie nearly a year before my wedding and she was able to answer any questions I had during that time. She was also such great company on my wedding day - never taking up “too much space”, while also being there whenever I needed assistance. She made ALL of my specific visions come true while simultaneously providing some incredibly unique surprise shots in my gallery as well. I cannot recommend Casie enough!!!!

LindseyK Photography specializes in capturing romance and emotion. Waiting for the sun to gleam just right through the trees, having finger on trigger awaiting that moment dad wipes a tear from his daughter's eye during their dance, or pulling the bride and groom away for some alone time during sunset to capture that forehead kiss. These are the moments... the moments of subtle, real, beautiful emotion that float through a busy wedding day easily forgotten unless captured. The importance of your bouquet broach, notes shared, jewelry worn, groomsmen toasts, ..even quirky socks, all tell the story of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Lindsey on our wedding day! Neither one of us enjoy being in front the camera and she made it so easy and comfortable - we ended up having a blast! We are amazed at all the photos - she captured us perfectly! We still joke 8 months later that we can't decide which ones to hang up in our house. Throughout the entire process, Lindsey was super professional and great to communicate with and we can't thank her enough for doing such a wonderful job. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her for future photography needs :)

Take my word, you will not regret choosing Sheree to capture your big day!!!

I have been doing photography for a little over 3 years. I'm so thankful to all my clients that chose me from the start of my journey of becoming a Photographer, they truly shaped who I am as a photographer today. My true passion didn't really begin until a year ago that I found out my "why" behind taking photos and since then it has completely changed my perspective on being a photographer. I love having the ability to impact somebody's world for the greater with just one photo. If you made it to the end, thank you for reading!! and I hope I see an inbox inquiry from you! I can't wait to meet and take photos of all you beautiful people :)

They ultimately helped us create a beautiful record of our wedding that we will treasure forever. Words cannot express how thankful we are.

I am a lifelong artist. I got into photography when I picked up a camera to do a portfolio. One friend after another asked me to take pics for them after I did an artist album cover. Then one day a friend asked me to document a wedding. My first was rough but it has been weddings ever since. I love capturing love with my perspective. I have a laid back approach and help my couples feel at ease along with their families

Shagari was a dream to work with. He made sure we were having fun and captured the full essence of our day. Communication was excellent before, during and after our wedding. We get compliments on our photos all the time. Would have another event so we could book him again!

Kelsie Elizabeth Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Durham, NC

From her high school darkroom days, to full time wedding and family photography, Kelsie leaned into her passion of capturing couples’ stories as they unfold. As a student of the Art Institute of Boston and Maine Photographic Workshops, art has always been an outlet for Kelsie. In addition, her Culinary Arts and Hospitality degree and extensive experience in catering and event management, gives her an advantageous eye for the details. Enjoying colors, fabrics, and florals, she is able to capture both the celebratory love shared at a wedding as well as the design and beauty surrounding the couple and their guests.

Having Kelsie as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! Kelsie is fun, thoughtful, organized, flexible, and such a talented photographer. Her previous experience as an event planner shone through as she kept in touch and asked careful questions to get to know us and think through our vision. Covid got in the way of many of our plans and we had to reorganize our whole wedding just days out, but Kelsie’s eye for balancing big moments and small details really captured all the special parts of our day. We couldn’t be more thrilled with how our photos and wedding album turned out!
