We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

Hi, I’m Yosaidy your hype woman, storyteller, and third wheel with a camera. I’m a Venezuelan photographer and graphic designer, currently based in New York (but always down to travel). I’ve been in the U.S. since 2016, but I actually started shooting weddings back in Venezuela when I was just 18. Since then, photography has taken me on the wildest ride meeting people from all over the world, learning about different cultures, and capturing the kind of moments you never forget.

She took some of my absolute favorite pictures from our wedding day and got them back to us in a very reasonable amount of time. I love that she not only got great images of the people and activities we completed but also of the venue! I'm glad I'll have these pictures to look back on forever. I will definitely be hiring Vidr Photography again for my May (2021) Ph.D. graduation photos!

Nicki Seefried Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Durham, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,200

Please note that due to an upcoming move out of state, I'm no longer accepting NC wedding inquiries. 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!!!!

Fancy This Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
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!

Casie Marie Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Durham, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,400

Casie Marie Photography is a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, serving Raleigh, NC and Orlando, Florida. A hybrid photographer (digital AND film) who strives to capture Timeless, Photojournalistic, Joyful, & Playful Imagery

I truly cannot say enough good things about Casie Marie Photography. Casie photographed my wedding, and not only is she one of my very good friends, but she is also an absolute powerhouse of a photographer. She handled all of my quirks, my husband’s quirks, and every little detail in between with so much care and intention. She knew exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it, and paid attention to the details she knew I would care deeply about. Her approach is meticulous without ever feeling stiff or forced. I’ve already received a sneak peek and I am completely obsessed. Every image feels intentional, emotional, and so beautifully captured. Casie is incredibly talented, but beyond that, her years of experience in the industry truly set her apart. That experience shows in her confidence, her calm presence, her problem-solving, and her ability to make everything feel natural and effortless. Her posing guidance is easy, organic, and comfortable (with just the right amount of her signature sarcasm mixed in), and she makes you feel like yourself in front of the camera. She’s professional, fun, detail-oriented, and genuinely one of the best in the industry. I could not recommend her more. I love her, I trust her completely, and she is simply the best.

Amy Ellis Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
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.

Julianne Key Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Durham, NC
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,800

I’m Julianne, a North Carolina wedding photographer who believes every love story deserves to be told with care and artistry. My approach is calm, intentional, and deeply human, rooted in connection, trust, and quiet beauty. I create timeless, heartfelt images that honor who you are and the love you share, exactly as it is.

Julianne’s thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and amazing attitude blew us away on our wedding day. Leading up to our big day she sent us some unexpected gifts in the mail, which was a wonderful surprise. We can safely say that she was the best photographer for us on our big day. She was there for much more than photos. Whether it was helping us find things in the chaos of the bridal suite or coming up with a new game plan when we realize our sunset shoot couldn’t happen. Her and her assistant thought of everything to make us as comfortable as possible during our photos. We had a slight bug situation, but the bug spray they brought helped so much. Julianne has a way of making everyone feel comfortable when she’s capturing these special moments. She was even able to bring a smile to my camera shy husbands face consistently throughout the day. She was also able to hype up our wedding party when needed to get the perfect shot. Julianne stayed longer than planned to capture some special moments at our reception, which meant the world to us. She is such a kind and sweet person, who is literally willing to do whatever she needs to help the day run smoothly. One of the best decisions we made when planning was hiring her as our wedding photographer. If you get the opportunity to work with Julianne, trust me you will not regret it. She just might save the day!

L'amour Foto 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Durham, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600

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!

Arsalan Abbasi Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Durham, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

My name is Arsalan — "RC" for short. Over many years, I have honed an appreciation for the textures of every day life: shadows shifting with time, the subtle glimpse of emotion in someone's face, or a dapple of light on concrete. Trained as an architect, I approach photography through the same lens with which I view the built world – with a thoughtful eye for light, composition, and poetry. Photography, to me, is about eternalizing this beauty, so that we can keep a little of its magic with us.

I absolutely recommend working with RC. From the moment we booked, RC was kind of and conscientious. He perfectly balanced keeping our spirits high while also being authoritative to make sure our wedding photos could go off without a hitch. Almost all of our family members mentioned to us how impressed they were with RC’s efficiency throughout our wedding. He was well-organized, communicative, and had a great vision for our photos. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

I could not have asked for a better photographer than Casie!! We met her for our engagement shoot and she made us feel right at home, despite neither of us loving getting our picture taken. It gave me a lot of calm on our wedding day knowing we were in good hands! Casie was always early and super professional, responded to emails immediately, and set up meetings so we could discuss expectations and what we wanted. We got a sneak peek with lots of photos just a few days after the wedding, and we just got the rest of the photos and are so thrilled with them!! She got everything on our shot list, gave just the right amount of direction to look nice without feeling forced, and really captured the day beautifully--including moments that I myself didn't even realize were happening! She worked well with our videographer, and her second shooter was also amazing.I would highly recommend Casie!
