We loved working with Mehmet. Like many brides I was a bundle of nerves as we approached the big day; every time I talked with Mehmet he was very reassuring and easy. On our wedding day, he was a delight to work with. Both my spouse and I are picture-shy, but Mehmet made it fun and our pictures are gorgeous. Also he surprised us by getting video of the ceremony! 10/10, a strong contender for best decision we made when planning our wedding.

I'm an elopement photographer, because I believe eloping couples deserve to have wedding days that are full of comfort, playfulness, and adventure somewhere stunningly gorgeous with zero stress! <3. I specialize in Glacier National Park and Western North Carolina elopements and love to serve couples with unlimited planning assistance.

We were SO blessed to have Des. She is so much more than a photographer. She has become our biggest hype girl and such a close friend, since working working with her. She will take such excellent care of you and make sure that you have a day that is an honest reflection of your relationship. She was able to guide us into choosing the most epic location, connect us with incredible vendors, and put us at complete ease. We’re super laid back and she made everything so easy and chill. We were taken care of through the entire experience. We we’re nervous about exploring somewhere new, but Des knows her stuff and was able to navigate us through the location scouting process seamlessly. The day of felt nothing like a photo session and more like hanging out with a really cool friend that gave you as much space as you needed to be vulnerable with your partner, while also keeping the hype up. She had such an incredible pulse on our needs. We were nervous about looking awkward or feeling camera-shy, but she knew exactly what to say to help up feel comfortable. There was no awkward posing or forced emotion, just really subtle prompting that helped you ease into each moment. The entire day was amazing and none of it would have happened without her skill and guidance. We felt like we could trust her to keep us present in the most important moments. We cried when we got our images, they were absolutely breathtaking and 1000% us. We loved being able to share this day through these images with all of our friends and family that weren’t there. They were able to laugh and cry with us. Getting your gallery from Des is like getting to relive your favorite day all over again. She is an absolute gem that impacted our lives in such a positive way. We had no idea how gorgeous Montana was until Des blew our minds with all of the incredible knowledge that she has. If you’re curious about how amazing eloping can be, she’s the girl to talk to. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Magdalena Stefanek Photography

Wake Forest, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

I love photography and often I would like to pause life to enjoy a special moment for just a little longer. I started my journey by photographing nature but was always drawn to weddings and portraits. I've been photographing weddings in Wine Country in CA since 2008. I recently moved to Raleigh, NC. It takes an experienced photographer to make people comfortable in front of the camera in order to capture their true personalities. I am available for weddings, engagements, portraits, and events in Raleigh/ Durham, NC and I am starting to offer destination weddings including Europe. I truly love what I do!

Magdalena is kind, professional and is an outstanding photographer. I have worked with Magdalena for over 10 years and she is always charming to fellow vendors and to the bridal party and their guests. I can recommend her services one hundred per cent.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express how precious and special the photos Sarah captured for me and my fiancé are. Sarah has an eye for capturing moments we would have never thought to memorialize (e.g. walking down the street, the little moments of laughter between eating). Her photojournalistic style tells our story from beginning to end. Our favorite photos are the ones that involve movement, whether it's my fiancé lifting me up or me swishing my dress in the middle of the street. There are no uncomfortable forced poses, only candid secret moments. We cannot recommend working with Sarah enough. She is SO kind, patient, personable, and talented. She is willing to listen to all of your ideas and provide valuable input. She has worked in a variety of settings and it shows in her artwork!

The spunky and energetic photographer over here! 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.

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!

​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.

I'm a wedding photographer based in Raleigh, but my roots trace back to the beautiful state of New Jersey. Photography has been my passion since I can remember, and I'm incredibly grateful to turn that passion into my profession. As a wedding photographer, I have the honor of capturing the most special moments of a couple's life and turning them into cherished memories that last forever. Beyond weddings, I love photographing families and people from all walks of life, freezing moments in time that tell unique stories.

Nicole was a BREEZE to work with from start to finish. She was so attentive from just the first zoom we had. She truly cares so much about every little detail that you want out of your photos & she will go above and beyond until it is met! From booking her for my wedding she did our engagement photos, my bridals, a boudoir session as a wedding gift, and even a little Christmas card session! She’s truly a gem.

I’m an NC and DESTINATION wedding, graduation, and lifestyle photographer passionate about telling true stories that evoke real and raw emotion. I’m a tar heel, iced coffee lover, and cat lady who moved from NYC to a NC horse farm as a young girl. This gave me all the versatility I’ll ever need at any shoot. I’d love to hear your story!

Labeling Giovanni's work 'great' would be an understatement! Having her as our photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding was one of the best decisions we have made. Not only is she kind, relaxed and fun while working, but the results of her photos are incredible. We have looked at our wedding photos everyday for the last 3+ months since, and have felt nothing but joy. Our appreciation for Gio is unending as we know we will hold these photos close for the rest of our lives. She captured these memories perfectly. Oh! and the #1 compliment we have received from others about our wedding is how WONDERFUL the photos are. Gio crafted photos that were exactly what we wanted yes, but she somehow also made it everyone else's favorite too! We could not recommend a photographer more than Gio.

Hi, I'm Tom! I'm a husband, dad (of 2 humans, 1 dog, 1 cat, and 4 chickens), and have loved weddings since my first reception conga line in 4th grade. When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll find me tending my vegetable garden, eating Tex-Mex, rewatching RuPaul's Drag Race and going for hikes around North Carolina & visiting family in New England.

We had an amazing experience with Tom as our wedding photographer! Before the wedding, he was quick to respond to any communication and very intent on making sure he knew what he wanted. At the wedding, he was very professional and went above and beyond every step of the way. He was attentive and captured every special moment. The photos are really amazing and he did an excellent job directing us and our families during the posed photos and capturing candid moments without intruding. He got our gallery to us quickly and the photos were beautifully compiled. We cannot recommend Tom enough!

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.

Holy cow! When we were looking for a photographer and we saw Amy’s photography we reached out right away hoping she would have availability. We decided against doing engagement photos and instead had Amy come a day early for the rehearsal dinner which we were so happy. Amy made sure to keep in touch leading up to the wedding and guided us regarding some of the decision making for day of. She was so easy to be around and was totally flexible with impending weather. It ended up raining day of and Amy was still able to get the most amazing shots. We wanted to make sure that she was able to capture the special moments during our weekend and she did just that. We had an amazing time looking through all of the photos and will treasure them FOREVER! Also, she got everything back to us so quickly which was so nice. We would 100% recommend hiring Amy for your photos. She is a rockstar with an amazing eye.

Hi, I'm Danielle & I've been known to hype people up! I'm a creative entrepreneur who's been chasing her dreams since starting my biz at 21. Photography, providing education for photographers, and now podcasting, are kind of my thing! Cheesy teen movies make me happy, and I watch way too much New Girl. I have a slight addiction to white cheddar popcorn, and wine is my true love language. I want to help + hype you up for whatever stage of life you're in, by showing you that you are not alone in your thoughts, feelings or experiences and that you already have everything you could ever need to make your dreams a reality.

I worked with Danielle as a planner from Lucky Day Events Co. on a recent wedding. Danielle had the whole incredible vendor team cracking up the entire night! She was super professional, but fun, making the guests laugh which of course makes for the best candid/natural photos. She stayed beautifully on time and delivered photos to us and the clients in record time. Literally gave us sneaks to post to social media THAT NIGHT. I can't wait to work with her again on a wedding!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

After being given a long list of wedding photographer vendors from our venue, Once Like A Spark really stood out to us not only because of their name but also because their portfolio of pictures was exactly the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. This company was extremely easy to work with and their communication was awesome! They have different team members designated for each stage of planning so you know you’re getting the attention you need during a stressful time. We used OLAS for our September 2023 wedding. We opted for a second photographer after originally booking only one and they made the addition seamless to our contract! You are able to choose your primary photographer and we chose Matt (a former Bruins photographer, which my husband loved :)) and he could not have been more professional and focused the day of the wedding! Our second photographer was wonderful too! Both were detail oriented and made us so excited to see the shots they got! We received our gallery 5 weeks after the wedding, which was earlier than we expected, and were totally blown away! Our photographers nailed it! We cannot recommend OLAS enough! 10 out of 10 experience!

Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

Hey there, I am so happy you are here. A GIRL WITH A DREAMI am a big time lover of love, Jesus, and traveling the world - but you can just call me Hailey. Based in ATL, Im a full time wedding photographer. Im always down for an adventure. When I'm not behind a camera, you can find me on zooming off on a hike with my husband or chatting someone's ear off about my latest podcast obsession. I am here for all the coffee, hugs, & candids. ohh and my Cat hehe

Awarded Best of Zola
I chose Hailey from the moment we had our initial call to talk through her services. She listened so well to our wedding vision & asked thoughtful questions. We were forgoing a wedding coordinator & other “extras.” Hailey was still excited to take us on as clients which some photographers would not have. I was ready to confirm during the call with how supportive and excited she sounded about our day. From this call, she sent over her proposal for cost & information very quickly. She was responsive via text & email to any questions we had. Closer to the date, she sent over a questionnaire so she could be prepared with the photos we wanted. It also included tips & guidance on making sure the experience is smooth. This was super helpful. During the wedding, I was blown away by her and her second shooter. She was decisive when we needed someone to make a decision, supportive to me as a bride, went above and beyond to handle any last minute changes or hiccups with grace. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken. She made it sooo easy and fun! The photos are sooo creative and I continue to pinch myself that they are ours! Wow! Here’s where she deserves to be shouted from the rooftops: We scheduled a hike we wanted photographed to a waterfall on site at the venue (our venue at Hawkesdene in NC lodges all guests for 2 nights). The venue shared it was 1 mile in/out and not difficult. Well it HAILED the night before and rained all night so the path was flooded and muddy. We had to decide to forge ahead or cancel. She without hesitation was ready to forge ahead, ruining her shoes, to ensure we could still have our hike documented with our guests. She encouraged me along the way and I am so grateful because the photos are just incredible. Anyone would be truly lucky to have Hailey capture their wedding. This review doesn’t do her or her skills justice. I will forever cheer her on & can’t wait to find an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Our team prides ourselves on being professional third-wheels on your wedding day. We are perfect for those who thrive on love and connection, and are looking for bold and purposeful imagery. We have 2 wedding associates, 2 family photographers, and a husband and wife videography team

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend. Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know! Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day! Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night! Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT! We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11 years, but I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil – and I’ve been in love with stories just as long. Of all the ways to create a life around storytelling and art, I’m so glad to have found this one: weddings are filled with stories both intimate and profound, and with elements of beauty that delight the artist in me. I love the challenge of seeking, finding and capturing the beauty I see, and telling your story as I see it unfolding before me.

The first thing people mention about our wedding is how beautiful the pictures turned out. I was specifically looking for a candid-style photographer whose exposure remained consistent & correct throughout the night, and Ayesha delivered more than I could have hoped for. She was polite, professional, and so fast! Not only was her turnaround time short, but she practically managed to be in two places at once to capture every perfect shot. We are so grateful that we got the chance to work with her, and look forward to hiring her again for our next special occasion.

You are. Now, my goal is to make sure you have the best wedding possible, and that you remember as many moments and details as possible. You may think you'll remember it all, but life moves on and you'll forget more than you expect. I'm here to remind you what your wedding day was like, how much you love your family and friends, and why you got married. I'm excited to help you have a wonderful wedding full of beautifully captured moments.

Ellen photographed my wedding and two separate engagement sessions. This stated, there is nothing more I can say than if I ever have a need for a photographer again, I'd hire her every single time! Her ability to get the perfect shot in every situation is simply amazing. Further, whether she had to take her shoes off and stand knee-deep in water, or provide firm (yet friendly) directions to friends and family after the ceremony (to get all our pictures done in time), she was as competent, kind, and professional as any photographer I've ever seen. I understand how hard it is to trust one person with capturing the most important moments of your life, but Ellen did not disappoint!

On most weekends you can find me, Robert ('Bobby'), photographing weddings—either in New York (where I lives) or farther a field: in various locations around the US and abroad. I find wedding ceremonies to be more than just a series of actions, people, and images to be “captured,” but rather recognizes them as events full of deep personal and cultural significance, particular to a specific time and place and community. As such, I assumes the responsibility of documenting these moments with great respect, believing them to be deserving of a discerning eye and an artistic hand.

We had the pleasure of meeting Bobby a few years ago when my sister got married. When we got engaged, he was the first vendor that we booked. Bobby is an incredibly professional and passionate photographer. His work captures every emotion of the day. What we love the most about Bobby is his calm demeanor and that he blends in with the crowd. He is really flexible and is willing to accommodate all needs. We are currently in the process of making our wedding album and it’s hard to choose the photos, as every one is better than the next. We are forever grateful to Bobby for capturing our special day.

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away.
