Ellen LeRoy Photography

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

When I started wedding photography 15 years ago, I wanted to create stunning pictures that showed off my technical skills. Those skills are helpful, but they are no longer the focus of my attention. 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!

R WAGNER PHOTOGRAPHY 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

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.

I am a lifelong artist. I got into photography when I picked up a camera to do a portfolio. One friend after another asked me to take pics for them after I did an artist album cover. Then one day a friend asked me to document a wedding. My first was rough but it has been weddings ever since. I love capturing love with my perspective. I have a laid back approach and help my couples feel at ease along with their families

Shagari was a dream to work with. He made sure we were having fun and captured the full essence of our day. Communication was excellent before, during and after our wedding. We get compliments on our photos all the time. Would have another event so we could book him again!

With many years of experience, we are artists and photographers that like to have fun and love what we do! We specialize in many photography services and aim to be your go-to wedding photographers, event photographers, portrait photographers, maternity photographers, corporate photographers, and everything in between. 

Wow, we could not have been more impressed with Brian and Anna! They were recommended to use by our wedding planner, and my first interview with Brian was enough for me to be blown away by his professionalism, creativity, and photography. We got our pictures back quickly, and loved every one. From family portraits to candid moments and "detail" shots, we got everything we wanted, plus some shots we didn't know we wanted! Brian and Anna were given very little "must have" shots, and really impressed us with how they worked to capture every amazing moment of that day. Both Brian and Anna were easy to talk to, flexible, and detail-oriented, which is crucial when hiring someone to capture your special day. Brian presented us with many package options to assure we got exactly what we wanted. The style of photography was unique and and wonderful, and fit our aesthetic perfectly. Thank you both so much for the amazing job you did!

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

Kelsie Elizabeth Photography

  • Serves Chapel Hill, NC

From her high school darkroom days, to full time wedding and family photography, Kelsie leaned into her passion of capturing couples’ stories as they unfold. As a student of the Art Institute of Boston and Maine Photographic Workshops, art has always been an outlet for Kelsie. In addition, her Culinary Arts and Hospitality degree and extensive experience in catering and event management, gives her an advantageous eye for the details. Enjoying colors, fabrics, and florals, she is able to capture both the celebratory love shared at a wedding as well as the design and beauty surrounding the couple and their guests.

Having Kelsie as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! Kelsie is fun, thoughtful, organized, flexible, and such a talented photographer. Her previous experience as an event planner shone through as she kept in touch and asked careful questions to get to know us and think through our vision. Covid got in the way of many of our plans and we had to reorganize our whole wedding just days out, but Kelsie’s eye for balancing big moments and small details really captured all the special parts of our day. We couldn’t be more thrilled with how our photos and wedding album turned out!

Specializing in timeless documentary wedding, elopement, & portraiture photography with a fun, artistic, creative flair. Elizabeth strives to capture every fleeting moment of your special day, so that you and your loved ones will have those memories to cherish for a lifetime. Elizabeth enjoys building relationships with her couples, many whom she has kept in touch with over the years. Many of her wedding couples are repeat clients - maternity, newborn, family, anniversaries!

Elizabeth was the photographer for my parents’ vow renewal, so when my now-husband and I decided to get married in a tiny, intimate ceremony in my parents’ backyard, I knew I wanted to hire her! From the beginning she was nothing but enthusiastic, kind, and professional. With everything happening with Covid, she was very understanding about my request of her to wear a mask and try her best to stick to the 6ft distancing. She’s a natural with her photos and captured some very sweet moments that I never even knew happened! I’m extremely picky with pictures of myself, too, but I found PLENTY of photos that Elizabeth took that I am THRILLED with! You absolutely will love working with Elizabeth - she is so fun, so sweet, and does incredible work!!
