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.

Yosaidy was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The photos came out even more beautiful than we had imagined and she was so easy to work with. She is an absolute must hire.

  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

Hey! I'm Rae, and I've been photographing weddings for 15+ years (500 wedding days!) This just means I have the experience and credibility to be reliable and create beautiful results, no matter what. I love weddings because I love documenting relationships. Those special people are the most important parts of our lives. I love photographing anything that involves couples, and also making people feel like STUNNERS. Engagements, maternity, senior portraits, models = *heart eyes* I believe that life should be remembered as beautifully as it felt when it happened.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Rae Marshall for our February 2026 wedding. Her portfolio and professionalism during our initial consultation immediately gave us the confidence that she would be the absolute best at capturing our day. Rae captured every moment — from first look, to the ceremony, to bridal party photos, to reception action shots, and every small detail in between — without ever feeling intrusive. Never having spent much time in front of the camera, we felt so comfortable following Rae’s lead. She made posing feel natural and easy, and we are absolutely thrilled with the preview collection shared with us just three days post-wedding — the photos are STUNNING. Timeless, classic, and elegant time capsules are what you’ll come away with in a partnership with Rae. We can hardly wait to see the rest!

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 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • 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
When it came to wedding planning, the photographer was my most important decision. That's also what I say to friends and family who are planning weddings. After everything is over, your photographs are what you have to remember a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is over in a blink! It was important to me that our photos reflected our personalities and were worthy of our walls and frames. Kivus & Camera are truly exceptional wedding photographers and were everything I had hoped for. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was open, caring, and responsive. They were dependable and fully committed to ensuring our wedding day was captured beautifully. As an LGBTQ couple, we worried the perfect photographer would be hard to find, but Elyssa and John are wonderful, and we couldn't have done better. Elyssa is a lovely person who is easy to hang out with on top of being a fabulous, talented and professional photographer. The quality of their work is simply stunning - they have an artistic, one-of-a-kind style that resulted in photos that are both beautiful and unique. We will enjoy our photos and memories from our engagement shoot and wedding day for years to come thanks to the thoughtful way Elyssa and John captured each moment. Logistically, our photos were easy to get and work with. Elyssa curates things for you in a way that makes sense. We ordered a photo book as well, and it is absolutely gorgeous. We cannot recommend Kivus & Camera enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect. In fact, they just photographed my sister's wedding this summer as well. So you know that we were all happy if we were willing to make it a family affair! You will not be sorry if you work with Kivus & Camera. (But you might be sorry if you don't!)

I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

I’m Kate — Ukrainian-born, Carolina-based, and the kind of photographer who will fix your veil, tell you exactly what to do with your hands, cry behind my camera during your dad’s speech, and somehow still notice your grandma tearing up across the room. I’ve been photographing people since 2018, and I’ve learned that the best wedding photos rarely come from trying to create a “perfect” wedding day. They come from actually having a really good one. I love incredible dresses, gorgeous light, old architecture, 35mm film, and portraits that could live in a magazine — but I love the champagne-popping, hair-coming-undone, friends-losing-it-on-the-dance-floor moments just as much.

One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

My name is Wioletta, but you can call me Viola. I am a professional photographer based in the mountains of North Carolina where I reside with my three children, partner, a Great Pyrenees dog and a Siamese cat. I have a degree in Visual Art, but I have been fascinated by photography since I was 14 years old. I moved to the United States from Poland when I was just 16. I created my first photography business in 2010 where I shot moody and aesthetic self-portraits that I later sold as prints. I also designed logos and CD covers for bands. I created my wedding business, Ethereal Moments Art, in 2018 and ever since it has continued to grow.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ethereal Moments Art was amazing to work with from start to finish and worth every penny. The theme of our May wedding was romantic, storybook/fairytale with lots of mauves, olive and sage colors and we wanted a photographer with an ethereal, intimate, candid style to match. We found Ethereal Moments Art by searching on the Knot. The first "difference-maker" is that the Ethereal Moments Art's website is upfront and transparent about pricing, day-of-timeline and process, which many photographers don't discuss in such detail right away. We were able to clearly envision working together. Plus, we could immediately make a decision to engage based on one of our highest priorities in vendor selection--budget. After an initial call and agreement, we had an engagement shoot. Wioletta suggested a time and place near us that captured our desire for a candid shoot in nature. We had not had a formal photoshoot done before, and Wioletta was professional, patient when we ran into traffic, gave helpful direction, made us feel comfortable, and took charge to capture us while the sun was going down and we were super sweaty! You can't tell at all in the final photos, either - it was a great way to get to know Wioletta and establish trust before the big day. Wioletta helped ease our minds and prepare us for the wedding day by asking for a list of photos that we wanted to have such as locations during first look, family portraits, etc. She and her shooting partner were on time and started working immediately. Even while the bride needed extra time due to a nervous stomach Wioletta was patient and adapted quickly, used that time to collect more photos of family and the venue. Wioletta did a fantastic job capturing all of the key moments, the beauty of the venue, family group portraits, and the candid moments shared amongst everyone having a great time. She provided a preview shortly after the wedding day, and then the whole album within her promised timeframe. Our album consists of thousands of photos(!) and we are very happy with them. Ethereal Moments Art's online platform made it easy to order prints, an heirloom photo album with USB containing all files, and a large framed version of our favorite image - the one of us sitting in the red chairs. It's hanging in our living room today. I cannot recommend Wioletta enough for your wedding and/or engagement. Overall, a pleasure to work with, responds promptly, and is a master of her craft. If you are on the fence, don't hesitate to book. Thanks again, Ethereal Moments Art! Our family will treasure your art for our entire lives.
