Yosaidy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

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.

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.

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
We are so glad we hired Kivus to shoot our wedding!! Elyssa & John were amazing to work with and did a phenomenal job. Elyssa is so creative and has an amazing eye for capturing the beauty in candid, spontaneous moments. Our photos are filled with laughter, dancing, tears (of happiness!) and pure joy. Plus, she was flexible and incredibly easy to work with ahead of time. It was such a relief on the day of our wedding knowing we were in good hands with Elyssa. We would 100% recommend hiring Kivus & Camera for your wedding! Thank you so much, Elyssa!!!

Kaitlyn Blake Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,300
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

Are you looking for a photographer that feels more like a friend? One that makes you comfortable when posing and documents natural laughs? Oh hey! You found me! What is my style? I'm a candid and VIBRANT photographer. How would my friends describe me? Bubbly, loyal, and hilarious. Okay, maybe they don't tell me I'm hilarious but I laugh at my own jokes.

Strongly recommend working with Kaitlyn for your wedding photos-- we are so pleased with how the photos from our wedding turned out. I don't know how, but Kaitlyn captured just about every moment to a "t". Even reviewing our photos, we caught so many moments we missed the day of. So grateful we had such a professional and well-equipped photog in our corner on our special day-- it allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves, and I'm *SO* glad we put our faith in her. One note-- when working with Kaitlyn, she'll ask you to fill out a survey before your event. I'm so glad she did, because it got us thinking about what our priorities were before our wedding day, and every single photo we could've wanted or asked for is there! She even managed to corral our very camera-shy dog.

From the very beginning working with Mel was amazing! I was skeptical sifting through all the recommendations I had received but I cannot be more happy with my choice to work with Mel! Him and his wife were nothing short of amazing on our wedding day. He was always available to answer any questions I had and was super open to listening to everything we had to say. We’ve only gotten our sneak peak so far but the photos are amazing and I can’t wait to see the rest! If you’re thinking about booking with Mel, you will not regret it!

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.

I cannot say enough good things about Emma - she is always flexible, knowledgeable, and shows up with the best energy to every event!

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic.

And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! 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!

Choosing Alyssa Marie Photography as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made. From our first interaction, Alyssa's communication was clear, kind, and honest, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is truly exemplary - she has an outstanding eye for detail and a meticulous approach that captured all the special moments of our day. Alyssa handled our large, lively wedding party with such grace, never rushing us and allowing my husband and I to truly enjoy our time together. I only wish I could have five more weddings just to work with Alyssa again and get even more of her incredible photos. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and I am so grateful we found her.

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!!!!

  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

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.
