“Blythe Eland Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Blythe's communication was prompt, thorough, and incredibly helpful - she answered every question I had, even the most random ones like the best deodorant to wear! On the day of, Blythe and her 2nd shooter anticipated our every need and worked seamlessly through some challenging weather conditions, including a hurricane and some intense humidity, all while staying organized and upbeat. The quality of their work was simply outstanding and we feel we got incredible value for every penny spent. Blythe's fun, genuine, and sweet personality also made her a joy to have by our side on our special day. We are over the moon with our wedding photos and cannot recommend Blythe Eland Photography highly enough!”

Adrian Etheridge Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
Chapel Hill, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!”

“My fiancé (now husband) found Casie for us during the wedding planning process, and I immediately fell in love with her work! Her darker style was exactly what I was looking for and her wedding engagement package is extremely well priced. Working with her felt like meeting up with an old friend. I was very worried about how I would feel about posing and if I would look awkward and she did such an amazing job directing me in a way that felt natural. I have not received a picture from her that I do not like. Casie also made the planning process so easy. She even met with me over facetime to address some anxiety I was having regarding the timeline. I ended up adding 2 hours to the photography package (again, very reasonably priced). Overall, I genuinely have nothing bad to say about Casie and her work. She is a joy to work with, her work is incredible, and she is such a fun person to be around!”

  • Offer

Your wedding day moves fast — the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the hug from someone you haven't seen in years, the look between you two when no one else is watching. I'm here to catch all of it, so years from now you can look back and feel it again, not just see it. I blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — refined, intentional images that still feel real. Nothing overly posed, nothing you'll look back on and wince at. My background in art direction and a lifetime spent moving between countries shaped how I see a scene: I notice light, composition, and the small human moments most people miss.

“We received our gallery so quickly and were blown away. Raiana caught so many moments that we completely missed during the day. Looking through the photos brought back all the emotions from our wedding.”

“Anna is the best! And we mean it! We booked her for our engagement photos in 2024 and shortly after booked her for our April 2026 wedding. During our engagement session she made a parking deck in downtown durham look like magic while we were in opposing hockey jerseys, so we felt confident that she could capture our wedding day even better. It was so great to be able to trust in her creative vision, knowing that she has a great eye for emotional, romantic, and moody moments. Also, she was unafraid to give us direction which was so great! It was a fantastic mix of getting some help in posing for photos and allowing us to just be. Her work was even better than I could imagine and I’m so happy she was able to capture our day. Her style is warm but true to life and she captured the emotions of the day beautifully. We are so happy to have these photos to relive our wedding day like it just happened, and I know that Anna will knock your own wedding or special event out of the park!”

  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

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!”

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

“Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!”

Hi, I’m Hiba! I’m the kind of photographer who will fix your veil, hype you up before you walk down the aisle, make sure you actually eat something, and probably end up chatting with your mom like we’ve known each other for years. I really love weddings, but more than that, I love everything they hold. The nervous excitement while you’re getting ready. Your best friend tearing up when they see you. That split second before you walk down the aisle. The way your person looks at you when no one else is paying attention. The loud laughs, the happy tears, the champagne spills, the hugs, the chaos, and all those tiny moments you didn’t even know were happening. Those are the things I want you to remember.

“From the moment we met Hiba, we knew she was the perfect person to capture our wedding day. She didn’t just take photos—she saw us. The way she quietly caught the little moments, the ones we didn’t even realize were happening, still gives us chills. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again—the joy, the nerves, the happy tears, the way our hands found each other in the middle of the chaos. Somehow, she bottled up the love and energy of that day in a way that feels so us. Hiba, thank you for giving us the greatest gift—the ability to step back into those moments for years to come. We’re forever grateful.”
