Katey Vaughan Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves West End, NC

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.

Bovara Studios is a wedding videography company led by Annie Bovitz that serves the Carolinas and beyond, and will travel wherever your love story takes us. Authenticity and emotion are two things I value above all else when it comes to wedding & elopement films.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annie was such a pleasure to work with and the quality of her work speaks for itself! She was so professional, kind, and communicative. Annie provided a few opportunities to meet before our wedding day to get to know each other better, discuss details, and ask any questions. This process made us feel so secure moving into our wedding day! The videos that Annie produced from our wedding were beyond anything we could have hoped for. She is truly an artist with a keen eye for details and small moments, and her videography style provided such an intimate view into the day. As I’ve often heard from others, our wedding day passed by in such a whirlwind, so having high quality videos to relive these moments has been the biggest gift - both to us and our families. Choosing to pursue videography for our wedding was so worthwhile and I would 100% recommend Annie and Bovara Studios to any couple planning a wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married in March of 2023, and we used Magnolia Collective’s full-service package for our wedding at The Maxwell in Raleigh. From the very beginning, Megan and Lauren impressed us with their quick responses to our questions and their exceptional organizational skills, both in the lead-up to our wedding and on the big day itself. The initial call with Megan's team allowed us to determine if we were a good fit for each other. Megan walked us through the company, the process, and the available packages in detail. We were seeking a planner who would be totally hands-on so we could be hands-off, and Magnolia Collective was perfect for that role. Megan and Lauren were always quick to respond to our calls and emails, helping us build an incredible team of vendors for our wedding. The vendors they recommended were top-notch and aligned perfectly with our vision. Megan even attended our rental appointment and picked out everything we needed based on our likes and dislikes from our style boards. This level of personalized service was exceptional and ensured that every detail matched our vision perfectly. Best of all, Megan’s team organized and coordinated our wedding so seamlessly that any minor issues went completely unnoticed. We trusted Megan’s team with every aspect of our wedding, providing them with our preferences, and they brought our vision to life beautifully. Their list of trusted vendors and strong reputation with them made the entire process stress-free. A special shout-out to Lauren, who was fabulous! She assisted with the set-up on the day of the wedding and checked in on me regularly to ensure everything was going smoothly. She was always pleasant to email and speak with, adding a personal touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with Magnolia Collective. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to making our wedding day perfect were truly outstanding. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will take care of everything and allow you to enjoy your special day without any worries.

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!!!!

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!

Sarah started playing harp for weddings in 2009 at the age of 14. She has loved playing at weddings, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and elopements ever since. 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!

I'm a don’t skip dessert after dinner, give me anything sweet and chocolate, kind of girl. While I have always loved all things sweet, my true passion sparked when my son was born in 2018. I made a point to make everything from scratch and wanted to plan and bake for his first birthday. His desserts and cake for his special day went off without a hitch, and from that point on I have been baking and decorating ever since. I love being able to add something sweet to some of life’s biggest celebrations.

We got married at Whiskey Kitchen in November 2021. They did an amazing job! The food was amazing. Having the entire whisky bar open was a hit for our guests who are normally used to a small selection of drinks at most other weddings. They already have tables & chairs available to use and moved them around between our ceremony and reception. There is plenty of space for a live band and dancing. We're so happy we asked if they hosted weddings! We would highly recommend using them as your wedding venue.

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. I cannot be more thrilled with the experience I gained working with her.

Your wedding celebration is one of the most important events of your life. Leah treats it with respect and care. She doesn’t miss a thing, it’s your big day where every moment counts and every detail matters. Leah offers more than taking pretty pictures on your wedding day. She will be there to help make your vision come to life. You can count on her to have your back and lend a hand in time of need.

Leah Marie Photography + Stationery is truly the BEST! Hire Leah if you are seeking a wedding photographer to capture those special moments as this is her beautiful gifting. She was suggested and we fell in love with her personality over the phone. She was radiant, joyful and exuberant. She traveled to North Georgia to photo and without us knowing, she even photographed our rehearsal. One of the qualities that makes Leah stand out above other photographers I've worked with, (I'm an actress and on set often) is her specialized eye on composition, lighting and movement in a photo and the way she makes everyone feel at ease. The photos she captured were published a week later in the magazine BEAUTIFUL. Our wedding was featured in a 7 page spread story about our celebration. The other huge selling factor about Leah is the softness she provides in the finished photo. It is a surreal, warm, quality filled with a love light that is consistent in all of the photos she prepped and sent to us. She delivers such emotional and epic photos. Our videographer was filming and you see Leah photographing us, not missing a moment and she complimented /coordinated with our wedding palette. It was incredible. My sister consistently said how she wished she had a fraction of the talent in her wedding photographer. Leah is a rare gift. You not only get a photographer but a friend and a joyful personality celebrating your special day with you. Didn't miss a moment, talented, professional, easy to work with and turned around photos within moments.

We love those candid and joyful moments, genuine laughter, beautiful details, and capturing your love story in a journalistic and natural way. Always down for adventures, non traditional weddings, and travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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!

My name is Keely Harpster and I am the face behind ‘The Southern Pines Floral Company.’ I am a floral designer, landscape designer, and a Certified Plant Professional in North Carolina. First and foremost, I am a mom of two and a wife. I am grateful to be a Southern Pines native and look forward to raising my children in this wonderful town.

The flowers that Keely provided for my daughter's outdoor wedding were gorgeous - she shared our vision right away, and the flowers she provided were fresh, arranged beautifully, and displayed with care. She was very communicative leading up to the big day, and was punctual and professional. We highly recommend her services - she is extremely talented and a pleasure to work with.
