Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer in this industry, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous wedding planners. I'm more than happy to state that the Magnolia team is one of my favorite's in the Raleigh area. From the timeline collaboration before the wedding to the last dance on the wedding day, the team’s commitment to creating the beautiful event for their clients truly sets them apart. From the stunning floral arrangements to the carefully chosen color palette, their attention to aesthetics and design allows me to capture the essence of the day effortlessly.

makeupxsamara

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Serves Research Triangle Park, NC

MakeupxSamara is a *natural glow* makeup company based in Raleigh, NC. What is a *natural glow* you might ask? Well, after looking through the images on this page you might notice a theme...natural, radiant, glowy, NEVER CAKEY, makeup. And that's not a coincidence. After 5 years in the industry, owner Samara Perchick has become known for her effortless, soft-glam style that is recognizable and sought-after throughout the Triangle. Her main goal is for clients to look in the mirror and recognize their reflection and feel like an elevated but natural version of themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Samara last minute after my original plan for makeup for my rehearsal dinner fell through. I could not have asked for a better, more talented makeup artist. Samara made me feel instantly at ease with her friendliness and professionalism. More importantly, she made me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt in my entire life. If I had known how skilled and professional Samara was, I would have hired her to do the makeup for me and my bridal party on my wedding day. She has a lot of experience with different types of makeup and is used to working on all ages and skin types, which I found out after I later hired her to do makeup for another event with my mom and grandmother (it goes without saying that everyone was thrilled with their makeup and the party guests were gushing about how great we all looked). I’ve had my makeup done by dozens of people, but no one makes me look as gorgeous as Samara does.

We're Giuliana, Brian, and Lane of Halifax Hill Studios! A photography trio based just North of Raleigh: we love photographing weddings, engagements, family portraits and everything in between! Giuliana and Brian, the founders of Halifax Hill Studios, are married as of Fall 2021! Lane is a good friend of Giuliana and Brian, who just recently joined the Halifax Hill Studios team. Most of our wedding packages include a second shooter, so we tag-team throughout wedding day to provide you with the very best service and amazing photographs.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Lane as our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough good things about her. From start to finish, Lane demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and skill that truly made our special day even more memorable. She was always in the right place at the right time, capturing all the important moments. This allowed my spouse and me to fully enjoy our day while knowing that every precious moment was being expertly documented. Additionally, Lane and her second shooter (Julian- who is an absolute rock star!) were great at managing our entire family and bridal party to ensure we got beautiful shots. (This is not an easy task- Thank you!!!) The pictures that Lane delivered were nothing short of stunning. She has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for capturing the most beautiful shots. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and love you could feel in every single shot. We couldn't be happier with the final product. It was evident that she genuinely cared about capturing our day just the way we envisioned it. We are incredibly grateful to Lane and Julian for preserving our wedding day and bridals portraits with such elegance and skill, and we highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a talented photographer. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the memories that we will cherish forever!

305 Trackside 

5.0

Southern Pines, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $350

305 Trackside is an industrial chic event venue located in the Historic Seaboard Freight Depot building in the heart of downtown Southern Pines, NC. Original wood plank floors, exposed brick walls, 6 oversized sliding barn doors, exposed trussed ceilings, 1,500 square feet of open air interior space and over 1,500 square feet of covered outdoor patio space, all make this venue an unforgettable backdrop for any event!

We chose this venue because of location, price, and style. My dad was an engineer for CSX and the location of this venue along with its history made it the obvious choice for us. The venue itself hardly needed any decorations for our wedding; the historical brick and old wooden planked floor were stunning...along with the party lights on the ceiling. Compared to other venues in the area, this venues price was unbeatable. Along with it being cheaper, it gave us more options. We booked the venue the night before the wedding as well which made decorating and rehearsal a BREEZE! We booked the Jefferson Inn through the venue as well so getting ready the day of the wedding was so simple and convenient; after the wedding was over, we headed back to the Inn that was a block away. One major plus of this venue was that it has AMAZING, GORGEOUS BATHROOMS AND A CATERER KITCHEN! You would think this was included at every event venue, but we toured several venues that had no on site bathrooms or place for the food to be prepared. I had soooooo many compliments on the venue; I’ve recommended it to ALL my friends for their upcoming weddings.

Growing weary in the search for the right photographer? Maybe interactions are feeling kinda transactional, you just can't picture yourself in the galleries you're seeing, or you're tired of hearing we all love pizza, margs, and wine nights? Now I don't want to start of this relationship with a lie...I honestly love those things too. BUT, as you search for the right person to capture your loved ones, your growing kiddos, or your big day, who can blame you for wanting to connect a little deeper?

Nicki is phenomenal!! We are SO lucky to have found her. Our photos are absolutely amazing. Nicki has been kind and patient with us throughout this entire process. We have even hired her for our professional headshots… and we probably will for every event! Thank you Nicki!!!!

Feathered Hair Salon

I'm a bridal hair stylist located in Cary, NC, and I've been honing my craft for over 10 years. I absolutely adore weddings – they're my favorite! Working with brides and helping their visions come to life brings me so much joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rush was a dream to work with, in all truth. She styled five heads including my long, thick haired updo. She also did wonders with shall-we-say less bountiful heads of hair, which as you may know, is less of an easy job. She works with good products and good tools which was important to me. And most importantly, my bridal updo was The Most Comfortable Hair I've Ever Had. I kid you not. I wore that updo (with 75 pins in it) for 12 hours. There was not a pin-prick in my scalp and it wasn't heavy or annoying in any way. It held up until midnight when I reluctantly left the party and disassembled my gorgeous hair. Some people style wedding hair because they have to, Rush does it because she genuinely loves the whole experience (which really shows). She was helpful, thoughtful, had superb communication habits, and is just all around a sweet, sweet human. I could not recommend her or her services more highly.

We had an amazing experience hosting our wedding at The Barn at Blue Rock Farm. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was in constant communication with us, ensuring that every detail was accounted for. The venue itself is an intimate setting with a beautiful outdoor area, making it an affordable option for couples looking for a unique and picturesque location. While there is no air conditioning, the venue has plenty of fans that kept us cool and comfortable throughout the event. One of our favorite things about working with The Barn at Blue Rock Farm was the flexibility they offered - we were able to bring in our own catering, beverage service, and decorator, which allowed us to personalize the day exactly how we wanted. Elizabeth was also incredibly accommodating, jumping in to help with our day-of coordinator services at the last minute when we needed her. The pricing was reasonable, and the expectations were well communicated from the start, making the entire planning process a breeze. We highly recommend The Barn at Blue Rock Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful, customizable, and affordable wedding venue about one hour away from Raleigh.

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

My husband and I are so grateful that we were able to work with Elise as our wedding day photographer. Her work with us started long before our wedding day, as she was incredibly proactive and chatted with us a few times before our wedding. 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. Look no further - Elise is absolutely a wonderful photographer!

She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

Ariel Kaitlin Photography does not disappoint! I searched high and low for a wedding photographer that I liked and was within my budget. Let me preface my review with saying, "you get what you pay for." I, without a doubt, hit the jackpot with Ariel. Ariel and Alex were the dynamic duo of my dreams AND MORE. While posing for photos can be a bit awkward and stiff, Ariel and Alex make it FUN and make you loosen up and ditch the nerves on your wedding day. Ariel went above and beyond to capture 'the shot' on my wedding day... She stood on a porch banister and crouched in a bush to get what she needed. I know she will do this for all of her couples, even though I want to believe she did this only for me. Ariel has an eye for details, light, and capturing what is real, authentic and stunning. She makes her couples feel seen, and makes friends with her couples, so the couple can enjoy those special moments and ultimately, their special day. Her organization skills and attention to details are impeccable and she honestly kept everyone else on track on the wedding day, and let me say this... THIS MATTERS SO MUCH since time does fly on your big day. I don't remember much about my other vendors, (as a couple, you spend the most face time with your photographers) but I do remember my photographers and I consider myself lucky to have found and booked Ariel, and even luckier now that I've convinced them to stay friends with me and my husband. So with all that said, if you're looking for a personable, fun, photographer, who delivers stunning photos that you'll cherish forever LOOK NO FURTHER. Book with Ariel, you can thank me later!

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've worked Hands-On with Maria. She was extremely professional and Goofy and funny she made the experience extremely fun. If I had the chance to work with her again I 100% would. She's an extremely creative photographer and makes her clients feel so welcome and comfortable. Have him a chance to work with her has been an amazing experience and has really grown my own work.

Y'all... I don't even know what to say about how much I love Laura and her husband, Drew. Not only did they capture our wedding day brilliantly, their presence actually made the day even better! Laura is exceptionally great to work with. Her paperwork is easy and prompt, she responds to emails quickly, and will even set up a virtual call to discuss whatever you would like. Her prices are fair for the amount of photos you receive and the quality of her work and service. Laura did our engagement photos and wedding photos. Scheduling our engagement session was easy and stress free (as was the wedding, but you probably already guessed that!). We met her in Miami since she was down there anyway. Laura was down for an adventure so we went to a botanical garden where we got eaten by mosquitos but Laura was positive and having fun the whole time. The photos are GORGEOUS and we used them for all of our wedding materials and website. We have gotten so many compliments on all of our photos! Laura and Drew arrived a day in advance of our wedding and let us know when they arrived so we had peace of mind. They were on time to our wedding (if not early) and stayed until they were contracted to leave, not a minute early. They were having so much fun at our wedding and captured so many amazing moments. As a note, they are super fun but also take their work very seriously and were busting their butts the whole day to make sure they caught every precious moment. Laura and Drew made us feel so comfortable. They are hilarious and go-with-the-flow but also make sure they stick to the timeline and are diligent about getting every picture you want. They arranged all of our bridal party and family photos, making sure they all looked good. Laura and Drew are also very sensitive to family matters. We have some complicated family dynamics and they handled them like champions, making sure our day was stress free. It is clear that Laura and Drew are committed to making sure the couple has a wonderful stress-free day. Laura carried around my extra makeup all day so I could blot my face and I'm pretty sure Drew served us drinks at one point because we were thirsty taking pictures. All of our friends are obsessed with Laura and Drew - we still talk about how much we love them several months later - because they are actually that wonderful. Laura and Drew are EXTREMELY inclusive. We are a same-sex couple and were so comfortable with them. All of their paperwork is gender neutral, which is not something I can say for our other vendors (no shade, it's just the truth) and it was sincerely appreciated. Some of our friends use they-them pronouns and Laura was sure to get this information in advance so she could make sure to call everyone what they prefer. We received a surprisingly large sneak peak of photos the day after our wedding. All of our friends and family were shocked at how quickly we got all those photos, but it's because Laura is an editing machine. We got all our other photos back well within the timeframe provided. There are literally hundreds of photos and every single one is perfection. Laura even did a little bit of photoshopping that I requested, which I really appreciated. Long story short, look no further for the wedding (or other event!) photographer of your dreams. Laura and Drew are truly one of a kind (well, two of a kind) and they will make your wedding day exceptional! I wish I could get married again so I can hang out with them more.

It's so easy to use and you can invite guests to add music, too. You fill out worksheets and then review with a staff member to make sure everyone is on the same page. It was truly a great experience and our DJs read our dancing crowd so well. Everyone has told us we threw an epic party and that's mainly because the music was so good!

Hello! Mekai here. Welcome to Sparks + Sand Floral Design! •••To start off I’d just like to say thank you. Even if you’re just checking the page out. Thank you! •• I’m here to enhance your events with florals that reflect you best! I was born and raised in Palm Springs, California and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina a little over a year ago now. I am a one-woman team when it comes to my business, but I'm also a fiance and step-mom to two rad kids and I am the happiest I've ever been. I would love nothing more than to connect with you and help you reach your flower dreams!!

This review is long overdue for my October 2021 wedding! We hired Sparks and Sand and I could not have been happier with how the florals turned out for my wedding. The process of planning was so stressful and we had to postpone from our original 2020 date. However, Mekai was a DREAM to work with. She was so helpful and responsive to all of my questions and quote changes. We had some last minute changes to the quote but she handled everything with ease. The florals were GORGEOUS and I could not have been happier. I literally teared up when they arrived to our Airbnb. They were everything I could have ever asked for. She understood fully what I was going for with just a few inspiration pictures. Everything was so easy and the florals were arranged beautifully at the venue. I'm so happy that I booked Mekai!

I'm a wife, cat + dog mom, Charlotte NC native, and all around hype woman. I love capturing experiences. Above all else I love watching my couples interact with each other expressing and showcasing their relationship. What truly makes me passionate is to be able to capture their love story with artistic beauty and elegance. I love to provide them with gorgeous candid images so that every time they revisit these memories it inspires the contentment and enduring emotion they hold in their hearts from that day.

Cirque91 was amazing to work with! She paid attention to what we wanted while also giving professional advice/suggestions to maximize our experience. We received over 800 shots and every single one is better than the next! She was very organized and made it a wonderful experience. Very personable, easy to work with, and communication (which was important for me in a photographer) was amazing. Thank you Brennan!!

I am so glad we chose to work with Sally Oakley Events, especially Kathy. While Kathy was our month of coordinator, she went above and beyond helping us for over a year. She promptly answered questions and helped me navigate wedding planning. Her years of experience are truly priceless, as she knows the ins and outs of wedding planning. She is very down to earth and understood my budget restraints and was able to guide me on what things were important and what were extra fluff. On the day of the wedding, she was amazing. She handled the vendors and logistics completely. I was able to relax and have fun getting ready and not worry about anything happening outside the bridal suite. Numerous guests have complimented how organized and well run our wedding was and that is owed to Kathy!
