Working with Rebecca was an absolute dream from start to finish—starting with our initial meeting, through our engagement shoot, and all the way to our wedding day! She is incredibly friendly, and she has a unique ability to make professional photos feel easy, natural, and fun. When my husband and I began searching for a wedding photographer, we knew we needed someone we felt completely comfortable with on such an important day, and Rebecca was the perfect choice. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We also feel so lucky to have worked with her amazing 'day of' team—Luisa, Chris, and Maggie. They were all not only professional but also incredibly warm and relaxed, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We truly feel blessed to have had Rebecca and her team capture our special day! We look forward to working with Rebecca again in the future.

I like to think of myself as a storyteller for sweethearts in love. I specialize in natural light wedding photography, with an emphasis on fine art and candid images. On wedding days, my second shooter is my sweet husband, Jakub– that’s right, we are a husband and wife team! I love shooting all the emotion-filled moments and delicate details on your wedding day, and I couldn’t imagine doing it without Jakub by my side. We when aren't photographing, we are usually spending time with our Holland Lop, Beau!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the pleasure of working with Laurel and Jakub throughout multiple sessions over the last 2 years - engagement photos, bridal portraits, rehearsal dinner and wedding day! Laurel was always open to my thoughts and suggestions from inspiration I had seen for poses, session locations, etc. but she is always prepared to give such helpful direction and guidance based on her experience. Communication is 12/10 and we loved her use of "credits" with the packages she offers. Sessions were always extremely comfortable and in turn, she was able to capture photos where we felt confident and well, like ourselves! Outside from their incredible talent to capture such special moments - Laurel and Jakub are just wonderful people to be around and work with!

As a Wedding Planner I've worked with Special Capture several times for weddings and each time the clients have been satisfied with their finished videos. 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.

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!

Katey Vaughan Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,700

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.

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.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Beatha Photography for our engagement shoot in Boston Common, and the experience was truly exceptional. From start to finish, Beatha was incredibly professional, making us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire session. The beauty of Boston Common was captured perfectly, with Beatha having a natural eye for lighting, composition, and the scenic backdrop. Every shot felt candid and genuine, reflecting the special connection between us. Not only is Beatha extremely talented, but she was also prompt, organized, and attentive to our vision. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the emotion of the moment were beyond what we could have hoped for. The final photos exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We highly recommend Beatha Photography for any special occasion – she truly goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding work. Thank you, Beatha, for making our engagement shoot such a memorable and beautiful experience!

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.

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!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

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.

When it came to wedding planning, the photographer was my most important decision. That's also what I say to friends and family who are planning weddings. After everything is over, your photographs are what you have to remember a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is over in a blink! It was important to me that our photos reflected our personalities and were worthy of our walls and frames. Kivus & Camera are truly exceptional wedding photographers and were everything I had hoped for. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was open, caring, and responsive. They were dependable and fully committed to ensuring our wedding day was captured beautifully. As an LGBTQ couple, we worried the perfect photographer would be hard to find, but Elyssa and John are wonderful, and we couldn't have done better. Elyssa is a lovely person who is easy to hang out with on top of being a fabulous, talented and professional photographer. The quality of their work is simply stunning - they have an artistic, one-of-a-kind style that resulted in photos that are both beautiful and unique. We will enjoy our photos and memories from our engagement shoot and wedding day for years to come thanks to the thoughtful way Elyssa and John captured each moment. Logistically, our photos were easy to get and work with. Elyssa curates things for you in a way that makes sense. We ordered a photo book as well, and it is absolutely gorgeous. We cannot recommend Kivus & Camera enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect. In fact, they just photographed my sister's wedding this summer as well. So you know that we were all happy if we were willing to make it a family affair! You will not be sorry if you work with Kivus & Camera. (But you might be sorry if you don't!)

At the wedding, he was very professional and went above and beyond every step of the way. He was attentive and captured every special moment.

He got our gallery to us quickly and the photos were beautifully compiled. We cannot recommend Tom enough!
