L'amour Foto

Durham, NC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600

I’m Tammy Jean Lamoureux, artist, partner, mother, photographer. In the twenty years that I’ve been taking pictures, photography has been my tool for seeing beauty in the everyday. My hope is to document the biggest moments of people’s lives while also illuminating those small moments of magic that hide in plain sight. The poetry of life is everywhere, and I try to create honest, heartfelt photographs that help us carry a little of that beauty along with us. I believe in the joy of improvisation, the tenderness in awkward moments, and photographs as time machines. Your moments are so precious. I’d be honored to document them.

It's not an exaggeration to say that working with Tammy was everything we wanted and more. While Tammy's work speaks for itself, her talents go far beyond the gorgeous photographs. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and listened to. She captured and memorialized priceless moments we never thought we would get to experience again. Working with her was a joy and a total vibe. We cannot recommend her enough!

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. As a wedding photographer, I believe your story deserves to be told with intention, care, and artistry. My approach is rooted in capturing the quiet, fleeting moments—the way your partner looks at you, the laughter shared with loved ones, the beauty in the in-between. I strive to create timeless, elegant imagery that feels effortless and true to you, so years from now, you’ll look back and feel every emotion all over again. Beyond the photos, I aim to bring a calm, reassuring presence to your wedding day, making the experience as memorable and meaningful as the images themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Rebecca was an absolute dream from start to finish—starting with our initial meeting, through our engagement shoot, and all the way to our wedding day! She is incredibly friendly, and she has a unique ability to make professional photos feel easy, natural, and fun. When my husband and I began searching for a wedding photographer, we knew we needed someone we felt completely comfortable with on such an important day, and Rebecca was the perfect choice. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We also feel so lucky to have worked with her amazing 'day of' team—Luisa, Chris, and Maggie. They were all not only professional but also incredibly warm and relaxed, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We truly feel blessed to have had Rebecca and her team capture our special day! We look forward to working with Rebecca again in the future.

Moments with Meg Photography

  • Serves Durham, NC

Hi, I’m Meg — wife, mom of three wild and wonderful kiddos, and professional memory-maker for couples who want to actually enjoy their wedding day (yes, it’s possible!). My love for photographing weddings started long before I ever picked up a camera — I’ve always been obsessed with the feeling of them. The laughter, the happy tears, the chaos, the quiet moments no one else notices — that’s where the magic lives. When I’m not documenting “I do’s,” you can find me chasing my kids around our backyard, sipping cold brew like it’s a personality trait, or sneaking away for a cozy date night with my husband.

Awarded Best of Zola
Meg did our wedding and engagement photos in 2024 and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! (I’m just delayed in getting this review up). She was delightful and easy to work with and communicated well throughout the process (timelines, what to expect, what she needed from us). The photos themselves turned out amazing! We were both nervous about posing/feeling awkward but Meg put us at ease and gave the perfect amount of instruction. She embraced our vision/personalities but also helped guide us to some really fun and creative shots.

Hey there! I’m Jesse Crossland, a wedding and portrait photographer passionate about capturing love in its most genuine and playful moments. My goal is to make every couple feel beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera, so their personalities shine through in every image. What drives me is seeing couples light up when they see their photos—those little, in-between moments of laughter, stolen glances, and pure happiness. It’s why I do what I do. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly cares about your experience and wants to make the process fun and stress-free, I’d love to chat!

Jesse made our engagement shoot SO easy! And the photos that came out of it felt very us. You could see our emotions and movement in the photos which is exactly what we were going for. She brings excitement to the session and has prompts that don’t feel like you’re being posed and static. We are so excited for her to capture our wedding next year! Jesse’s communication ahead of the shoot and during the signing process was also timely, helpful, and kind. Would 100% recommend her!

As a Wedding Planner I've worked with Special Capture several times for weddings and each time the clients have been satisfied with their finished videos. Marlon and his team (he always brings 2 if not more videographers to the wedding) help coach the wedding party for fun poses and shots and keep everyone laughing. Special Capture is not the "fly on the wall" type of videographer, they will be in the action capturing every detail even on the dance floor which makes for some awesome videos.

I'm Niki and I'm so glad you dropped by! As a little girl, you could often find me with my nose buried in a Life or Time magazine - poring over every single image. I'm lucky enough now to be able to create images that freeze a moment and memory in time... I began my photography career 12 years ago and I haven't looked back since. I'm a creative based in Raleigh, NC that loves travel and going off on an adventure to capture my client's most prized moments. My greatest joy is capturing a split second and freezing it, knowing that my clients will be able to go back and relive that moment whenever they want. I'd love to talk to you!

Three Seventeen Photography was a true pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Niki, the lead photographer, has a professional, prompt, and responsive communication style that put us at ease throughout the entire process. Her artistic eye and beautiful photos were worth every penny - she captured the essence of our blended family so perfectly. Niki made the photo session a light-hearted and streamlined experience, even for those in our group who don't love having their picture taken. We've continued to have Niki capture major milestone moments for our family, and we're so grateful for her talent and ability to beautifully document our journey together.

Hey there – we're glad you're here. We're a husband-and-wife wedding and portrait photography duo based in Chapel Hill, NC. We photograph weddings in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area and all over the Southeast.

We are so glad we chose Nate and Emma for our wedding photos. The photos are absolutely stunning and captured the bright, joyful tone of the day while being classic photos well cherish forever. They also were so easy and sweet when working with them from intro calls and engagement sessions to the big day itself. They helped us feel at ease and didn’t overtake the whole day - made sure to have portraits taken, but also stayed through our reception to capture a lot of moments and range of candids throughout the day.

Hello my name is Mirabela, I am a wife, a mom and a woman on the go. Standing still is not in my nature! Many might wonder how did you come up with that name? Well my first born, was my inspiration, my drive. Sofia for the longest time couldn't pronounce the letter S and she would call herself Fofia. She has thought me to be a better person and made me a new me. The Sailboat on my logo represents my son Hunter known as Captain Hunter. There is many ways to look at things, and what of a better way other than capturing those angles with my camera. I don't just capture pictures, I capture a story, Your Story!

I loved working with Fofia Studio Creations and Mirabela! Not only are her photos gorgeous but she is so easy to work with. She really pays attention to the details and strives to make everything as easy as possible for her couples and other vendors. I definitely recommend working with her!

If you are looking for candid, natural photographs that tell the story of your day, mixed in with beautiful portraits that have authentic expressions and smiles, then we could be a fit. Photographing weddings, I've learned that posed and stiff traditional photography isn't my style. Nor do I like to turn wedding clients into fashion models and ask them to pose like they don't like each other or for brides to be fierce. It's just not my style. My style is all about telling the story of your wedding through candid, natural, authentic photographs. I want you to see love, togetherness, joy & beauty when you see your pictures.

I can not express how wonderful EMmedia Photography is. My sister's reception photos came out amazing! I enjoyed working with our photographer from the initial consultation until the delivery of the final portfolio! 10/10 experience all around! The quality of their work was amazing and providing incredible value.

I am a mom of 3 amazing children, Alyssa, Elijah and Stetson. I enjoy making them smile and showing them that mommy can do anything. I love being their super hero, as that is all I have ever wanted in life as a mom. Now enough about me, I can't wait to capture your special moments and be apart of it all!

She loves what she does, and values the unique opportunities that each of her clients give her. Sweet tea is her fuel of choice and ice cream keeps her going, but it’s her faith in Christ that grounds her. It’s no wonder that Leslie excels in capturing the love that others share, specializing in weddings and engagements. A triplet herself, Leslie is very close to her family, and enjoys shooting family and newborn portraits, too. Her fashion portraiture often takes her outdoors, the beach sets her soul on fire, and you may forget she’s behind the camera at all.
