Raleigh, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything. The soft glances, the gentle laughter, the way your hands find each other without thinking. Those are the moments that tell your story honestly. With a refined, minimal approach, I focus on creating imagery that feels effortless and timeless. My goal isn’t just to document how your day looked, but to preserve how it felt. The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked The RF Collective, her communication was effective, timely, and responsible. On the day of our wedding, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and even got on her knees to help me bustle my dress before greeting our guests. The final photos were absolutely stunning - the quality of her work is truly beautiful and natural. She also gave us previous for both engagement and wedding sessions (which I LOVED). We couldn't be happier with the memories they captured of our special day. Highly highly recommend!

*PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE TO SUBMIT A CONTACT FORM AT WWW.CANDYNOGALES.COM.* MY WEBSITE IS UNDER MY PHOTO ON MY ZOLA PAGE. Hi, I'm Candy! I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was a 2025 bride, and to be completely transparent, we originally planned to spend no more than 3,500 on a wedding photographer. After speaking with Candy, we decided to invest 2,000 more than our initial budget, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Candy’s communication is truly exceptional—you can immediately tell she loves what she does. She is incredibly creative, adapts effortlessly to any situation, and brings such a calm, confident presence. She’s never pushy, yet she directs with grace, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were married at 21c Museum Hotel in Durham, and we wanted a blend of elegant, traditional wedding photos along with fun, fashion-forward, editorial-style images—and Candy absolutely delivered on both. Her editorial shots look so effortless, even though you can tell there’s a lot of intention and artistry behind them. We inquired with five different wedding photographers, but we immediately connected with Candy—her personality, professionalism, and stunning work stood out from the rest. Beyond her talent, she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most humble, and human people you’ll ever meet. Candy offers a truly elevated wedding photography experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for timeless, editorial, and heartfelt wedding photography.

My husband and I are so grateful that we were able to work with Elise as our wedding day photographer.

This made the experience so smooth as we were all on the same page! Not only is Elise a wonderful communicator, but she put us at ease. We were so comfortable with us -- and we are both not people that love posing for photos. She is talented and everyone we shared our photos with was so impressed.

Hey! I'm Rae, and I've been photographing weddings for 15+ years (500 wedding days!) This just means I have the experience and credibility to be reliable and create beautiful results, no matter what. I love weddings because I love documenting relationships. Those special people are the most important parts of our lives. I love photographing anything that involves couples, and also making people feel like STUNNERS. Engagements, maternity, senior portraits, models = *heart eyes* I believe that life should be remembered as beautifully as it felt when it happened.

We had the pleasure of working with Rae Marshall for our February 2026 wedding. Her portfolio and professionalism during our initial consultation immediately gave us the confidence that she would be the absolute best at capturing our day. Rae captured every moment — from first look, to the ceremony, to bridal party photos, to reception action shots, and every small detail in between — without ever feeling intrusive. Never having spent much time in front of the camera, we felt so comfortable following Rae’s lead. She made posing feel natural and easy, and we are absolutely thrilled with the preview collection shared with us just three days post-wedding — the photos are STUNNING. Timeless, classic, and elegant time capsules are what you’ll come away with in a partnership with Rae. We can hardly wait to see the rest!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

House of Willingham is a wedding photography business based in Charlotte, North Carolina that will capture unique moments while cheering you on from behind the camera. With professionalism, creativity and a knack for connecting with people, they will produce beautiful images while also becoming good friends with each couple.

I met Christian about a year ago at a work function. She was kind and genuine which I really appreciate in people. About a year later, I decided to elope but the planning company I chose came with a photographer. I wanted Christian to photograph my elopement and was disappointed that it wouldn't happen. I knew I really wanted to work with Christian so I hired her for my after elopement/wedding session photos. I think it was one of the best decisions I made when it came to my elopement. Christian alleviated any anxiety I had when it came to any questions or worries that arose. It was starting to look like the weather wasn't panning out. She promptly responded with a plan of action giving me choices that made the entire situation easier and painless. She even (online) scouted locations in the area, leaving me to enjoy my elopement and not have to worry about another thing I needed to plan. Day of Christian made me feel beautiful. She complimented me and my husband, making us beam. He's usually very reserved in front of people. But her calming and accepting demeanor encouraged him to become himself and not be so camera shy. Christian was so communicative throughout the entire post process. Letting me know at what stage she was in the editing process. When I say the photos came out better than I could have imagined it is and understatement. I love the colors and the authentic moments she was able to catch between me and my husband. I love my gallery so much I'll be redoing our ACTUAL wedding photos with her in the upcoming future. If you're questioning if you should hire Christian, her value outweighs her cost 10 fold. Don't hesitate to hire her, I know I won't.

I specialize in creating anxiety-free photography experiences for couples who want beautiful wedding documentation without the stress of being in front of a camera. My approach is editorial yet unscripted — I design a photography timeline that feels natural to you, then capture authentic moments as they unfold. The result is a gallery that reflects how your wedding actually felt, not just how it looked. I work exclusively with design-driven celebrations where thoughtful details and genuine emotion take center stage. My clients value artistry, discretion, and a photographer who anticipates moments before they happen.

I did 3 separate shoots over the course of my wedding season with Brennan (engagement, boudoir, and wedding day), and it was the best choice I could’ve made. Brennan truly has a gift - she’s an intuitive photographer who knows how to get “The Shot” and she made me feel comfortable and natural in front of the lens. Aside from her photography skills, she’s an amazing communicator. I loved seeing her interact with my family on the wedding day - she has the BEST personality and everyone loved her. Brennan goes above and beyond. She’s prompt. She’s versatile. She listens. Choose Brennan and thank yourself for it.

I'm lucky enough now to be able to create images that freeze a moment and memory in time... I began my photography career 12 years ago and I haven't looked back since.

My husband and I were married on Halloween night, and we were looking for a photographer with a unique style to highlight the special occasion. Niki did not disappoint. We love sharing the images with our friends and family. The portraits are among my favorites. I love how they embody the spirit of the event. Along with the stylized poses, I love the candid moments seen in many of the portraits that truly reflect the relationships behind them.

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!)

Hello, I am Mario, a Raleigh-based photographer. I am an NC native, and I have always been creative, as I started playing instruments at 11 years old. With over 5+ years of photo and video experience, I blend documentary and editorial styles to create imagery that feels authentic, emotional, and timeless. My journey began as a wedding DJ, where I learned how to read the room and stay present in every moment. These are the skills that I carry behind the camera now. Whether I’m photographing or filming, my approach is simple: I show up as a guest, not just a vendor, prioritizing your experience while quietly capturing moments that matter most.

Mario was absolutely incredible to work with. From the moment we connected, he brought a calm, professional energy that made everything feel effortless. He doesn’t just take photos—he captures moments, emotion, and the little details you didn’t even realize mattered until you see them. His eye for lighting, composition, and storytelling is unmatched. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, creative, and truly invested in making your vision come to life, Mario is the one. Highly, highly recommend.

Maggie made us feel comfortable throughout the entire day and was incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and we highly recommend Maggie to any couple looking for unforgettable wedding photos!

I'm an engineer by day and a photographer at night. I have always loved photography and shot my first wedding 6 months after completing my engineering degree. I have been tapping into my artistic side through other people's beautiful weddings ever since. I have countless weddings in my portfolio and have taken classes of life and formal training to hone my skills. The eye came naturally. My schooling gives me the unique advantage of perspective and responsibility. I'm going to capture every moment in beautiful detail, and I'll keep us on time.

Oak City Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Liz and Kim were open, available, and maintained a consistently positive attitude. They were detail-oriented in their approach, capturing our day in a modern and artistic way. The value they provided was unmatched, as they truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable - they even had fun dancing between shots! I HIGHLY recommend Oak City Photography to any couple looking for talented, professional, and personable photographers to document their special day.
