Hi, I'm Laurel! I love to capture authentic, candid moments between you and your loved ones, as well as variations on classic poses. I like to think of myself as a storyteller for sweethearts in love. I specialize in natural light wedding photography, with an emphasis on fine art and candid images. On wedding days, my second shooter is my sweet husband, Jakub– that’s right, we are a husband and wife team! I love shooting all the emotion-filled moments and delicate details on your wedding day, and I couldn’t imagine doing it without Jakub by my side. We when aren't photographing, we are usually spending time with our Holland Lop, Beau!

Awarded Best of Zola
Laurel & Jakub were the perfect choice for my wedding. From the initial consultation with Laurel where she trusted the girl who didn’t have a clue what to do but wanted a short engagement, to the engagement session, to the bridal portraits, to the day of the wedding- Laurel always helped & calmed our nerves & anxiety. She always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera & always respected our input/wants/don’t wants. She was the perfect asset to our wedding day. If you aren’t sure of who to trust with photographing your wedding day & love the natural light look of photos, choose Laurel!

Hi, I'm Coby! I am so excited you are here! It is a privilege to be invited to some of the most pivotal and beautiful moments in people's lives. My couples choose me to preserve true, honest memories of their newly forming family tree. They trust me to truly see these connections and document them with professionalism and artistic ability so that they come away with photos that are treasured for the rest of their lives.

Coby was one of the most organized, prepared, and professional vendors we worked with on our wedding day. She walked my husband and I through every shoot - what to expect and how to prepare. Not only did she provide high-quality and professional work, she is also a wonderful person to spend time with! She felt more like a friend than our photographer!”

Kivus & Camera

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
The vibrant colors that Elyssa captures are my favorite! Besides being super talented she is a delight to be around. She is approachable, yet completely professional. I have worked with Elyssa on many weddings and it has always been a great experience. I would highly recommend Kivus & camera!

Tuuba Tuncer Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

I’m Tuuba*, an artist, adventurer, explorer, mother, educator, wife and much more. I have an MFA from Boston University in visual arts. Photography has been more than a hobby for me. Throughout my life and education, I have often used photography as a medium to explore my artistic endeavors. *pronounced “Too-baa”

We loved working with Tugba so much! From the moment I (the bride) met her I knew that I wanted to work with her for our wedding, and we are so glad that we did; she was very professional (responsive to communications, patient with the number of questions we had) and accommodating throughout the entire three years that we worked with her as we had to reschedule our wedding TWICE! Tugba has such a wonderful eye and is very experienced; she captured all the key moments that we indicated we wanted captured, and took other photos we didn't even know that we wanted but are so glad that we have. Also, neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Tugba directed us into the best lighting and poses to make sure we looked our best. She and her second photographer were as unobtrusive as possible throughout the event, while still managing to capture some really amazing candid shots that we are going to cherish as much as the posed ones. We do not have the words to express how much we love our wedding photos -- they are gorgeous and every time we look at them we are able to relive our magical day. We would highly recommend Tugba for your photography needs.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

Megan Pitts Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

My philosophy is simple... I am here to tell the story of the day you married the love of your life. I want to document the excitement of you getting ready with your best friends, the look on your mother's face when she sees you in your dress for the first time, and the tears your father cries during the father - daughter dance, and that "Oh my God, we are really married?!" look of joy on your faces as you walk down the aisle as a married couple for the first time. I will pose you and guide you when necessary, but I believe when you are focusing on each other and really soaking in those moments --- that's when the magic happens.

Megan was truly the best photographer we could have possibly chosen for our engagement and wedding. She was so easy to work with both leading up to our big day, and on wedding day itself (shoutout to her for saving the day more than once on wedding day when the weather and my stress got the best of me!). We are absolutely in love with our photos, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Kristen was a joy to work with from start to finish!! She was so kind and intentional during the entire process, and she and Ryan helped put my normally shy husband into such a comfortable mood during our engagement session, and then again on our wedding day! Kristen easily felt like part of the bridal party with her fun personality. She coordinated the timeline so well without being pushy or impatient. She cried and laughed with the group through the whole day and captured the sweetest moments. Her work on my wedding day was absolutely beautiful, and we will treasure these photos for years to come! You won’t regret hiring her team for your big day!

It is the greatest privilege in life to capture such meaningful photos on the most important days of our lives. The trust and vulnerability from each person I work with is something I take very seriously. I am so thankful to choose this profession because of how much joy it brings me to document two people coming together in the name of Love, with their most cherished friends and family surrounding them.

Where do I start? Casie’s all around professionalism and talent make her stand out in the large crowd of wedding photographers. I hired Casie nearly a year before my wedding and she was able to answer any questions I had during that time. She was also such great company on my wedding day - never taking up “too much space”, while also being there whenever I needed assistance. She made ALL of my specific visions come true while simultaneously providing some incredibly unique surprise shots in my gallery as well. I cannot recommend Casie enough!!!!

LindseyK Photography specializes in capturing romance and emotion. Waiting for the sun to gleam just right through the trees, having finger on trigger awaiting that moment dad wipes a tear from his daughter's eye during their dance, or pulling the bride and groom away for some alone time during sunset to capture that forehead kiss. These are the moments... the moments of subtle, real, beautiful emotion that float through a busy wedding day easily forgotten unless captured. The importance of your bouquet broach, notes shared, jewelry worn, groomsmen toasts, ..even quirky socks, all tell the story of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a planner who works with many photographers, Lindsey has always been amazing to work with, quick to respond, and serious and caring about her clients. Her turnaround is fantastic and her work is beautiful. :)

I have been doing photography for a little over 3 years. I'm so thankful to all my clients that chose me from the start of my journey of becoming a Photographer, they truly shaped who I am as a photographer today. My true passion didn't really begin until a year ago that I found out my "why" behind taking photos and since then it has completely changed my perspective on being a photographer. I love having the ability to impact somebody's world for the greater with just one photo. If you made it to the end, thank you for reading!! and I hope I see an inbox inquiry from you! I can't wait to meet and take photos of all you beautiful people :)

We couldn’t be happier with DL Photo Film. It was a joy to have them as a part of our special day. They guided us through the process and their communication and attention to detail was impeccable. They ultimately helped us create a beautiful record of our wedding that we will treasure forever. Words cannot express how thankful we are.

  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

I am a lifelong artist. I got into photography when I picked up a camera to do a portfolio. One friend after another asked me to take pics for them after I did an artist album cover. Then one day a friend asked me to document a wedding. My first was rough but it has been weddings ever since. I love capturing love with my perspective. I have a laid back approach and help my couples feel at ease along with their families

Shagari was a dream to work with. He made sure we were having fun and captured the full essence of our day. Communication was excellent before, during and after our wedding. We get compliments on our photos all the time. Would have another event so we could book him again!

Kelsie Elizabeth Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

From her high school darkroom days, to full time wedding and family photography, Kelsie leaned into her passion of capturing couples’ stories as they unfold. As a student of the Art Institute of Boston and Maine Photographic Workshops, art has always been an outlet for Kelsie. In addition, her Culinary Arts and Hospitality degree and extensive experience in catering and event management, gives her an advantageous eye for the details. Enjoying colors, fabrics, and florals, she is able to capture both the celebratory love shared at a wedding as well as the design and beauty surrounding the couple and their guests.

Having Kelsie as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! Kelsie is fun, thoughtful, organized, flexible, and such a talented photographer. Her previous experience as an event planner shone through as she kept in touch and asked careful questions to get to know us and think through our vision. Covid got in the way of many of our plans and we had to reorganize our whole wedding just days out, but Kelsie’s eye for balancing big moments and small details really captured all the special parts of our day. We couldn’t be more thrilled with how our photos and wedding album turned out!
