Patty is both a creative & analytical photographer with a passion for documenting love stories. With over 10+ years of experience working a camera, her journey into documenting weddings started 3 years ago after marrying the love of her life in 2020 (yes, during the pandemic).

We have worked with Betts Photography multiple times and they do not disappoint! They are so easy going and adventurous. They give the best photo prompts and make being in front of the camera so easy! Patty and Donny are so personable and inviting, and they have such a great eye for photos and poses. The pictures they take aren't just your basic pictures, their photos tell a story. They show emotion unlike any other pictures I have. I am so beyond thankful for their talent and love for what they do. Their passion radiates through their work!! I LOVE BETTS PHOTOGRAPHY and will FOREVER recommend them!!!

Arsalan Abbasi Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

My name is Arsalan — "RC" for short. Over many years, I have honed an appreciation for the textures of every day life: shadows shifting with time, the subtle glimpse of emotion in someone's face, or a dapple of light on concrete. Trained as an architect, I approach photography through the same lens with which I view the built world – with a thoughtful eye for light, composition, and poetry. Photography, to me, is about eternalizing this beauty, so that we can keep a little of its magic with us.

I absolutely recommend working with RC. From the moment we booked, RC was kind of and conscientious. He perfectly balanced keeping our spirits high while also being authoritative to make sure our wedding photos could go off without a hitch. Almost all of our family members mentioned to us how impressed they were with RC’s efficiency throughout our wedding. He was well-organized, communicative, and had a great vision for our photos. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

After doing hair for 6 years, I suffered a stroke, leaving me unable to use my right hand fully, blessing me with a career change I’ve always wanted to make, just needed that push, and boy did I get one!

Danielle Riley Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,850
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

Hi, I'm Danielle & I've been known to hype people up! I'm a creative entrepreneur who's been chasing her dreams since starting my biz at 21. Photography, providing education for photographers, and now podcasting, are kind of my thing! Cheesy teen movies make me happy, and I watch way too much New Girl. I have a slight addiction to white cheddar popcorn, and wine is my true love language. I want to help + hype you up for whatever stage of life you're in, by showing you that you are not alone in your thoughts, feelings or experiences and that you already have everything you could ever need to make your dreams a reality.

I worked with Danielle as a planner from Lucky Day Events Co. on a recent wedding. Danielle had the whole incredible vendor team cracking up the entire night! She was super professional, but fun, making the guests laugh which of course makes for the best candid/natural photos. She stayed beautifully on time and delivered photos to us and the clients in record time. Literally gave us sneaks to post to social media THAT NIGHT. I can't wait to work with her again on a wedding!

Chelsea Morgan Photography LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

I have always been a very visual person, find happiness in the details, and love people who march to the beat of their own drum. Deep conversations are my kind my thing, and people who are madly in love and aren’t afraid to show it make me very happy. I’m a photographer, yes, but also a storyteller, creative soul, educator, marriage supporter, and hopefully someone you would call your friend.

She easily fit in with our friends and family and was so easy to collaborate with when we wanted particular shots. She was always there in the right moment capturing candid moments and we absolutely love her style photography and the way she works with natural light. She was an absolute joy to work with and we could not be happier with our photos.

Original Weddings Photo & Video

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

Original Weddings Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
We initially went with Sound Originals out of cost consideration and ease of booking because their combined photo/video package seemed so much more cost effective than many of the quotes we were getting from individual photographers and videographers. We assumed therefore that the quality might be a bit diminished by comparison, but were quite pleasantly surprised to discover that this was not the case! We are beyond pleased with the coverage they provided of our wedding and reception, and would certainly recommend Sound Originals to anyone seeking photo/video of their big day. Our team on the day of the wedding were absolute rock stars. Kate, Trung, and Travis all were incredibly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond in ensuring we had excellent photos and video--both candids and plandids. We're so grateful to each of them for their excellent work! If you're considering booking Sound Originals, there is one practical consideration we might offer, however: Their business model seems streamlined to provide a standardized product and level of quality to many clients at once by contracting with local photographers and videographers--this is great for ensuring that clients know what to expect visually and that the company has backup photographers ready in case any members of the assigned team can't make it, but this also seems to come at the cost of personal touch when communicating with the company and the photo/video team. Our communications with them were always through a portal on their website and often felt rather impersonal. This was a trade off we were perfectly fine with, given the very affordable price we paid for our package and the piece of mind in knowing that even if our lead photographer got sick or something, someone else would be there to fill in. If you, however, require a high level of customization or personal touch and want to cultivate a close relationship with your photographer, then you may want to hire a photographer/team directly.
