Rainey Day Bouquets

  • Florist
  • Serves Durham, NC
  • Offer

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

While I didn’t use her for a wedding — I most certainly will once I get married! Morgan’s floral arrangements are so well done that I asked to purchase some to decorate my home. Her customer service and attention to detail is out of this world. 10/10 recommend.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

If you're looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning, romantic images but also add a touch of warmth and personal connection to your wedding day, we wholeheartedly recommend Kiersten. She is truly one of the sweetest souls.

After graduating college my goal was to coach and work in the fitness industry. Long hours and the realization that I was working really hard to make someone else a lot of money led me to entrepreneurship. I left a job in 2019 to start my own business. That little business is now my career! My love for photography and helping other families like mine preserve memories has only grown since starting my own family. My kids are my "why" and I truly believe being a mother and a wife has made me a better businesswoman.

She is personable, professional, and easy to work with. We have also used her multiple times to take professional photos of our team and have always been blown away! You can always expect her to over deliver and exceed your expectations. She gives suggestions on event day based on venue, lighting, and the overall look you are trying to achieve.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
In a word, Amanda is extraordinary. In more words, Amanda was the best vendor decision for our wedding day. I'm a photographer, my now-husband is a videographer, and while we do not do weddings ourselves, we have both worked our fair share of them in the past, so we had a few ideas of what we were (and were not) looking for in a photographer. We could not have possibly had a better experience than we did with Amanda. On our wedding day, I forgot that I was a photographer. I knew every detail was left in her capable hands and I was able to relax and not worry about our photos even once. Meeting Amanda the first time was what solidified our choice in photographer. We already loved her portfolio of work. We already knew we'd love the photos, but meeting her in person solidified that she was the right fit for us. People don't often think about "fit" when it comes to a photographer, but it's so important. Amanda made us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera (that's not easy when you're always the one behind the lens), and we knew that she would be able to handle all sorts of personality types in our families and friends. Our wedding day images are thoughtful and artful and surpassed our already-high expectations. Our day was perfectly documented, and when you look at the gallery, it tells you a story - our story. Every time I look at our photos I am taken back into those moments, which is exactly what a good photo should do. I could go on and on (and on), but you get the point. Amanda's an artist and a professional and went the extra mile to make our photographs memorable and authentic, and our wedding day photography stress-free and easy. I simply cannot recommend her enough.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11 years, but I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil – and I’ve been in love with stories just as long. Of all the ways to create a life around storytelling and art, I’m so glad to have found this one: weddings are filled with stories both intimate and profound, and with elements of beauty that delight the artist in me. I love the challenge of seeking, finding and capturing the beauty I see, and telling your story as I see it unfolding before me.

As a wedding decorator, I get to work with many photographers and Ayesha Ahmad Photography is one of my favorites! I love her style of photography and she is very easy to work with! She takes great portraits of couples as well as decor shots!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Filmmaking has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Cinema. However, it wasn't until I started filming weddings that I really fell in love with filmmaking. Being able to film couples at such a pivotal moment in their lives that is often filled with immense love is so fulfilling, gratifying and such an honor to be a part of.

Kristan is very passionate about her work in the videography buisness! Her communication and work ethic is by far the best. She worked great with our photographer and was very involved in each part of the day! She is unbelievably talented in catching the perfect moments and then putting them all together for the video. The video of my wedding day will always be special to me as I look back and remember the toasts, dances, ceremony, pictures, and so much more. Without a talented videographer like Kristan, I wouldn’t have these special memories saved to look back on. If you book Kristan Wilkins Films, you will not regret it!

At Big Day Story Carolinas, we're more than just photographers and videographers; we're visual narrators. Our team's mission is to illuminate the beauty of your moments and weave them into a story that stands the test of time. With state-of-the-art equipment and an artistic touch, we ensure every shot reflects the essence of the occasion. Whether it's the subtle glances or the grand gestures, our lenses capture it all, while our editing suites transform raw footage into cinematic masterpieces.

We came across Doko PRIME nMedia through one of our friends’ instagram story. Upon looking at their profile and the candid pictures they take we decided to reach out to them which later happened to be one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We needed a wedding photographer/videographer who had an idea about traditional Nepali-Hindu wedding as we didn’t want to miss any of our special moments. After having chatted on the phone, we loved how easy it was to talk to Bipin and how he knew what exactly we were looking for. Even in a short 10 mins call, we bonded over our shared love of food . During our next call, we virtually met with Sanjay along with Bipin. After meeting with them, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of professionalism and personality. The connection and ease we found with them made the entire process go so smooth. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that we usually are the most awkward posers and the most camera shy people. But, Bipin and Sanjay made it so easy on us that during our pre-wedding photoshoot we felt like we were actually hanging out with our friends. We initially were hesitant about our shoot but considering their suggestion we decided to go with it. When we look at those pictures today, we feel glad that we did it. We could head towards our big day with the best pictures and the most magical experience right before our wedding. A day before the wedding day, was my Mehendi. There was a change of plan just a night before our Mehendi, and we decided to go with HSNC, Morrisville for our Mehendi venue. Sanjay and Bipin were so committed to give us the best experience that they immediately adjusted with our change and drove from Charlotte to Morrisville to be on time to capture the groom’s entrance for the Mehendi. There were many different emotions flowing through the room that night. To our surprise this team managed to capture each of those both in photos and videos. You guys really treasured all those moments just for us to feel it every time we see them. On the wedding day, things ran a bit late due to some rituals taking longer time than expected (which is so typical for a traditional hindu wedding), but this team was A-gaming on their end. From being at the Bridal suite at 6:30 am in the morning for a bride getting ready shoot to driving down to groom’s house which was 45 minutes from the venue (DoubleTree by Hilton, Durham) to capture groom’s getting ready and ‘janti anmaune’. They were making sure that both the bride and the groom gets the best of what they could provide. While Sanjay was taking care of the groom-side, Bipin was making sure that Bride’s side were well taken care of.

Hi! I’m Patience! Thank you for checking out my portfolio! I am a destination photographer specializing in weddings and life events. I’m originally from Africa and a hopeless romantic who loves love. I am here to help you turn your vision into reality the way you want it no matter where it takes place.

If you’re looking for someone who will get the job done and go above and beyond, Patty is the one. She has a keen eye for detail and not to mention, her editing is close to true to color and is not over saturated. I absolutely love light and airy. I hired Patty because her photos were amazing! Can I say magazine worthy? Not only that, I have a tan complexion and my husband is white, I needed someone who could capture and edit both our skin tones the right way, which I feel like is hard for a lot of photographers. I’m so happy I didn’t turn out look orange or yellow. She definitely has a diverse portfolio which drew me in. Also, as a seasoned wedding professional myself, I can say Patty is very dedicated to making sure you get everything you asked for. She executes seamlessly, no doubt! Not to mention she’s so fun to be around, which is a bonus!!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I planned our wedding for 2020... before the world went haywire, and Holly rode the wave with us from beginning to end. Between reschedules, engagement photos, her photographing our spur of the moment small elopement, and then our big wedding celebration and vow renewal this year with family and friends, I can say with complete confidence I know her work ethic and her commitment to her craft. And they are both top notch. She will do anything to get the perfect shot, she will make your nervous partner more than comfortable being themselves in front of the camera, and she will even pin a boutonnière (because this bride could not!!) when in need. We have so many perfect moments captured I can't even begin to thank her for, because with the right photographer you can relive a moment over and over. You will not be disappointed if you choose Holly for your special day!

I am a natural light photographer. Moved here to Florida 5 years ago from Illinois. I am a wife and a mother of 3 wonderful boys. Located in Freeport ,Florida but I serve from the Emerald Coast from Fort Walton Beach to Panama City Beach and surrounding areas. I am starting to get into more travel with my photography and will also travel to destinations. I photograph from families, couples to Senior's along with weddings and elopements. Looking forward to another great Year and meeting new families!

Sweet Sunkissed Photography was an amazing choice for our wedding day! Kim had great communication with us throughout the entire process and was a true professional. The quality of her work was absolutely stunning - the photos she captured truly brought our special day to life. Kim worked tirelessly to get every shot we wanted, running all over the venue to make sure she didn't miss a moment. She was so kind, fun, and kept us on track the entire day, which was especially helpful given the layout of our venue. Kim was a breath of fresh air compared to some other photographers we had met, as she was never pushy and always remained cool, calm, and collected. We knew our photos were going to be incredible even before she delivered them, and they exceeded all of our expectations. We highly recommend Sweet Sunkissed Photography for any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience!

Born & raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I've been capturing love stories for over 15 years. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 10 years, and raising our two sweet boys on this little sandbar we call home is a dream come true. While we are based on the OBX, we happily serve couples on the Outer Banks and Beyond, and enjoy spending the winter months in Costa Rica.

If you need a photographer, Courtney Hathaway is the one to hire! Fun, caring and talented are just a few words to begin with. My husband and I are both camera shy and from day 1 of shooting our engagement, Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.

My modus operandi, or MO, is a bit mountain peakish, a bit jump on any train going anywhere-ish, a bit lost down an alley in Cairo-ish, stuck on a dhow in Oman, flying too fast down a black diamond ski run, sky diving to cure a broken heart, scuba diving to avoid social interaction & talking, world traveling to loose myself so I can find myself. And for the last few decades this wild one becalmed herself and became a Special Needs advocating, mother of four. I am love. I am anger. I am sadness. I am joy. I am like you. I wash dishes and cook food, clean up after other people and pay bills.

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.

Thomas and Ginger's love story blossomed in 2007, leading to a picturesque June wedding in 2011. Combining over 15 years of photography experience, the Grimes Photography team offers couples an exceptional journey and unforgettable photos. Settled in Greenville, North Carolina, Thomas and Ginger cherish their family life with Kennedy, Houston, and Shepard, alongside their cherished dogs Lilly and Walt. Octavio joined the team in 2022, infusing his passion and nearly a decade of expertise into every project, while relishing precious moments with his wife and two children.

We had the pleasure of working with Thomas & Octavio at Grimes Photography for our engagement pictures, bridal portraits and wedding weekend and I have to say, I could not be more pleased with how this entire experience turned out! Thomas was very personable, EXTREMELY ORGANIZED, and is all around a great person to work with. When you are getting pictures done for your wedding, it is so important to have people that understand your style and vision. Thomas was great listening to us and was so efficient the day of our wedding. I was very pleased about this, since we had a very large wedding! We asked a lot of Thomas when he came out to take our engagement photos on South River. He spent half of the day riding in our nasty boat adventuring off into the sound & mosquito filled woods. But, let me tell you - those pictures were AMAZING! And the photobooth. WOW. YOU NEED THE PHOTOBOOTH AT YOUR WEDDING! We had the best time getting to look at the 300 pictures from our wedding guests. This is a really fun way to capture the thrills of the night because people have the freedom to take pictures the way they want to be seen. Really a fun thing to have at your wedding! If you are looking for a photographer that can capture all of life's beautiful moments...Thomas and his team at Grimes Photography are the ones for you. The photos speak for themselves, but they truly have the eye for what goes into that beautiful photo. We highly recommend Thomas and Grimes Photography.

Hi friend! I'm Tianna, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Originally, I'm from coastal NC but after graduating college, I settled in the Triangle and have been loving it ever since. I'm a girl mama, avid fantasy reader, travel enthusiast, and true crime junkie. There is nothing I love more than cuddling with my toddler (when she lets me), reading a great book, and drinking a cup of coffee. Growing up, I never imagined I would be a wedding photographer. I honestly thought I would be an author! While I'm not putting pen to paper, I am still telling my couples' love stories and loving every minute of it!

Tianna is an extremely talented and fun photographer, she truly cares about her clients and her work speaks volumes! You won't be disappointed!
