I absolutely love working with Brian and Daniela. As a planner, it is crucial to me that I work with wedding vendors that are responsive, considerate of our couples, and that work hard to ensure the best quality work. Nova Vista is an awesome example of that. They really get to know their couples and become comfortable with them, and they take great pride in providing the most seamless and professional service. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photography team that is truly sweet, pays attention to the details, and aims to give the best of the best.

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!!!!

Most importantly though I will celebrate this exciting time in your life with you while becoming a dear friend for years to come.

​We are Laura & Drew! *IF YOU LOVE OUR WORK, PLEASE REACH OUT TO US ON OUR WEBSITE WWW.LAURAMEMORY.COM* Laura is a full time artist working in photography, videography, & photo editing. Drew is a Ph.D. child clinical psychologist by day & photographs with Laura on weekends. Laura's middle name is really Memory! We are super chill and down to earth and hope our photos reflect that ease. 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.

Fancy This Photography

Durham, NC
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Fancy This Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Amanda Law and her team were incredibly professional, individualized, and reliable in their communication style. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the essence of our special day perfectly. The two photographers felt like friends we would have invited to the wedding anyway, and they were so fun to work with. They developed a great timeline for photography to ensure all of the photos we wanted were captured. Highly recommend Amanda Law and the whole Fancy This Photography group - we hope they like us because we are hiring them for all of our life events!

Amy Ellis Photography

Durham, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.

From our first call with Amy, we were impressed by her warmth, timely responses, and detail-oriented communication style. On the day of our wedding, Amy and her team seamlessly blended into the background, capturing all the candid, in-between moments that we will cherish forever. Amy made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and we hardly even noticed her taking photos - yet the final results were nothing short of extraordinary. The 50 (!!) preview photos she provided just days after our wedding were a wonderful surprise, and we are thrilled with the quality and value of their work (she even edited out a scrape I had from running). We cannot recommend Amy highly enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional photograger to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

I’m Tammy Jean Lamoureux, artist, partner, mother, photographer. In the twenty years that I’ve been taking pictures, photography has been my tool for seeing beauty in the everyday. My hope is to document the biggest moments of people’s lives while also illuminating those small moments of magic that hide in plain sight. The poetry of life is everywhere, and I try to create honest, heartfelt photographs that help us carry a little of that beauty along with us. I believe in the joy of improvisation, the tenderness in awkward moments, and photographs as time machines. Your moments are so precious. I’d be honored to document them.

It's not an exaggeration to say that working with Tammy was everything we wanted and more. While Tammy's work speaks for itself, her talents go far beyond the gorgeous photographs. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and listened to. She captured and memorialized priceless moments we never thought we would get to experience again. Working with her was a joy and a total vibe. We cannot recommend her enough!

Chandler and Sarah are the best! We had a short engagement so all booking and planning was "rushed" they were very understanding and always responded quickly. Could not have asked for a better experience, they are amazing at making sure you get the shots you want while still being able to bring in creative elements that suit you if you don't have a preference like we did. Loved working with them, they are just the sweetest. It's only been a week after our wedding so we've only gotten the sneak peek photos so far but if they are just a glimpse of how beautiful the rest of them will be I am going to cry all over again as they captured the day so beautifully.

A little about me: I grew up in North Carolina, moved to Florida, and now I am back in North Carolina. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me lounging at home with my two Aussies (because, let’s be honest, they run my household). Dogs are my world, which is why I’m always equipped with at least two lint rollers during every shoot (I’ve pretty much achieved Master Lint Roller status by now). Every moment is special and worth capturing, and my job is to help tell your story in a way that honors your love and feelings for one another.

I am a photographer in the Raleigh, NC area but I am totally willing to travel. I love to capture life and all its glory.

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
Of all of the vendors and activities surrounding our wedding, aside from actually marrying the man of my dreams, the most important thing to me was the photos. Elise and her assistant did a beautiful job capturing our day and all of the special moments. We were able to get the shots that mattered to us most. I would use her again in a heartbeat!

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.

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!
