Elise Hodges Photography

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Research Triangle Park, NC

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

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

  • Serves Research Triangle Park, NC

In Raleigh, Just like in Durham, Chapel Hill, and throughout North Carolina, once the guests arrive …the wedding DJ is the most consquential wedding vendor that you'll hire. The average wedding puts 75%-80% of their event in their DJ's hands. That's why, when it’s time to celebrate and have fun, you can relax and enjoy your event with Stylus! Entertainment is the single most important part of how your wedding will be remembered. If your wedding DJ isn’t getting everyone of all ages involved, from your friends to your parents and grandparents, then they’re probably not playing the right mix for you.

As a venue owner Stylus S.E. Is always an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication is prompt and thorough, ensuring we feel prepared and confident leading up to the big day. On the day of, their professionalism and ability to keep the dance floor packed and guests entertained is unmatched. Once, when an unexpected power outage struck, Stylus came through with a battery backup for their equipment and some battery-operated lights, literally saving the reception. We would highly recommend Stylus S.E. to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding band and DJ service.

I’m from New Orleans, originally. We love to throw a party. Having four of your favorites on tap … whether local craft beer, bubbly, hard seltzer, or even cocktails. Well, that’s what we like to call ‘passing a good time’.

We couldn't have asked for a better bar service for our wedding! The mobile tap trailer was a hit from the moment it arrived. Lil Brew Bird was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to our guests. They kept everything running smoothly, ensuring the drinks flowed without any hiccups. Not only was the setup visually stunning, but the quality of the drinks was fantastic, and our guests kept raving about the selection. They were quick to serve and made sure everyone was well taken care of all night. Highly recommend this service for anyone looking to add a unique touch and exceptional service to their event

Hi! My name is Alaina and I have been a makeup artist professionally for just over 10 years and also have been a licensed Esthetician in NC since 2010- Proud Aveda Alumni! I LOVE meeting new people and helping them feel and look their best, while also making it a comfy and safe experience for you! When you LOOK good, you FEEL good. And I truly believe that. I specialize in natural bridal and special event makeup, and have been known to go a little crazy for Halloween too. Fun facts: I'm a busy dog mom of 4, and when I'm not doing makeup looks, you could probably find me rappelling down a mountain or hiking on a trail.

Alaina did a great job making me feel beautiful but still making sure I looked like me, which is just what I wanted. She was very sweet and enjoyable to work with, professional, and prepared, including having a touch-up kit for me. She also helped my MOB look like a bombshell.

Working with Erin was absolutely amazing. She did my hair for two occasions including my wedding. I met her by chance and I’m so glad I did. After she did my hair for the first event I immediately hired her for the wedding. She was detailed, lightning fast, and creative. She did my wedding hair with very little guidance. I simply told her what I was looking for and she brought it to life perfectly. Everyone who got their hair done was super happy with it. Erin was a great communicator throughout the process, on time, and just overall an amazing human. I would hire her over and over again. I’m sad I don’t have another event coming up that I can have her do my hair for! Overall, you cannot go wrong by hiring her!

I like warm hugs (if you get that Disney reference then we’re def going to be fast friends), am constantly on the lookout for the best chai, and shout “shit biscuits” just a little too often. I’m here to help guide my fun-loving, nerdy couples through the wedding planning process and offer expletive laden compliments when they inevitably kill it at their session. Most importantly though I will celebrate this exciting time in your life with you while becoming a dear friend for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!
