Fancy This Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Durham, NC
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500

At Fancy This Photography, my goal is to capture the essence of who you are on the most important day of your life. When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of who I was, and could capture that. I want the same thing for you. My passion is working with couples who want something a bit out of the ordinary for their wedding. The couple that’s real, the one who’s willing to be exactly who they are. The one who puts their relationships as top priority, and who want the people who are most special to them in the world to witness the joy of their wedding.

Fancy This Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Amanda Law and her team were incredibly professional, individualized, and reliable in their communication style. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the essence of our special day perfectly. The two photographers felt like friends we would have invited to the wedding anyway, and they were so fun to work with. They developed a great timeline for photography to ensure all of the photos we wanted were captured. Highly recommend Amanda Law and the whole Fancy This Photography group - we hope they like us because we are hiring them for all of our life events!

Our experience was nothing short of amazing, our videographer Cody was prepared, accommodating and professional. We gave him our vision and a list of songs which representing our personality and he made magic happen. Trusting this company with our Wedding was huge, we researched and researched and after seeing a video captured at our chosen venue we knew the search was over. Not to mention us being a same sex couple he made us feel welcomed and heard, these things matter. We had bad experiences with other companies because of our sexual orientation before.

I specialize in creating anxiety-free photography experiences for couples who want beautiful wedding documentation without the stress of being in front of a camera. My approach is editorial yet unscripted — I design a photography timeline that feels natural to you, then capture authentic moments as they unfold. The result is a gallery that reflects how your wedding actually felt, not just how it looked. I work exclusively with design-driven celebrations where thoughtful details and genuine emotion take center stage. My clients value artistry, discretion, and a photographer who anticipates moments before they happen.

I did 3 separate shoots over the course of my wedding season with Brennan (engagement, boudoir, and wedding day), and it was the best choice I could’ve made. Brennan truly has a gift - she’s an intuitive photographer who knows how to get “The Shot” and she made me feel comfortable and natural in front of the lens. Aside from her photography skills, she’s an amazing communicator. I loved seeing her interact with my family on the wedding day - she has the BEST personality and everyone loved her. Brennan goes above and beyond. She’s prompt. She’s versatile. She listens. Choose Brennan and thank yourself for it.

Hi, I'm Candy! I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Candy was very responsive and clear about everything, which made planning so easy. On the day of our wedding, she had this infectious energy that put everyone at ease—especially during those one-on-one shots that can feel awkward. Her photos are stunning; the candids capture real moments and the posed shots look like they belong in a magazine, with colors that just pop off the page. She went above and beyond to catch every beautiful and silly moment, which is exactly what we wanted. Candy is genuinely so incredibly talented and made our day feel special. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who actually cares about their couples and delivers incredible work.

Your wedding shouldn’t feel like an eight-hour photoshoot. We’re a husband-and-wife photography and film team focused on capturing your day as it truly feels. The nerves, quiet moments, big laughs, and everything in between. We’ll guide you when you need direction, then step back and let real moments unfold. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable enough to forget the cameras and enjoy marrying your best friend. Based in the Raleigh area and available throughout North Carolina and beyond, we create timeless photos and cinematic films that bring you back to how your wedding day felt.

We booked Redway Media for both our engagement photos and our introduction ceremony (cultural event prior to the wedding, which is next year), and they nailed it on both occasions. From our first conversation, they let us know what to expect and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Their photos turned out even better than we imagined—sharp, well-composed, and full of the love we share. The duo showed up organized and ready to work, and they knew how to pivot and adapt if unexpected circumstances arose. We couldn’t be happier with the final images and have already booked them for another shoot! If you want photographers who know their craft, communicate like a pro, and treat your dream as their goal, Redway Media is the way to go. :)

I'm an engineer by day and a photographer at night. I have always loved photography and shot my first wedding 6 months after completing my engineering degree. I have been tapping into my artistic side through other people's beautiful weddings ever since. I have countless weddings in my portfolio and have taken classes of life and formal training to hone my skills. The eye came naturally. My schooling gives me the unique advantage of perspective and responsibility. I'm going to capture every moment in beautiful detail, and I'll keep us on time.

Oak City Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Liz and Kim were open, available, and maintained a consistently positive attitude. They were detail-oriented in their approach, capturing our day in a modern and artistic way. The value they provided was unmatched, as they truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable - they even had fun dancing between shots! I HIGHLY recommend Oak City Photography to any couple looking for talented, professional, and personable photographers to document their special day.

Luxe Portraits

Hello, I am Mario, a Raleigh-based photographer. I am an NC native, and I have always been creative, as I started playing instruments at 11 years old. With over 5+ years of photo and video experience, I blend documentary and editorial styles to create imagery that feels authentic, emotional, and timeless. My journey began as a wedding DJ, where I learned how to read the room and stay present in every moment. These are the skills that I carry behind the camera now. Whether I’m photographing or filming, my approach is simple: I show up as a guest, not just a vendor, prioritizing your experience while quietly capturing moments that matter most.

Working with Mario and Luxe Portraits was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The booking process was seamless and easy, with clear communication throughout every step of the way. What really stood out was Mario's dedication to our vision—he took time to consult with us and ask thoughtful questions to ensure him and his team captured exactly what we wanted. Mario even arrived two hours early on our wedding day to set up and give us complete peace of mind, which spoke volumes about their professionalism. The final photos are timeless and truly unique, capturing our day in a way that feels authentic and genuine. The pricing was worth every penny, and I would recommend Luxe Portraits to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about delivering exceptional work.

Hey There! I’m Hannah - an Intimate Wedding Photographer originally from the coast of Virginia but stumbled my way to the North Georgia Mountains which I now proudly call home! I love finding new adventures while exploring new places! I started my Photography journey capturing families but soon realized that my heart was completely drawn to capturing love & the bond that two people share!

I adored Hannah! She was so responsive and easy to work with from booking through wedding. She wanted to have a really clear idea of our vision, and worked with us to make it a reality. Day of the wedding we were all running really behind (us and other vendors, not her) and she was so quick work to make sure we still got every picture we wanted. She also helped my mom distract me from a suit related disaster happening that I heard about the next morning, lol, so truly above and beyond. I loved having her energy at the wedding, and the sneak peeks alone are gorgeous. I cannot recommend Hannah highly enough!

Your wedding photos should feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot with a wedding squeezed in. I love the editorial, frame-worthy portraits just as much as anyone, but the moments I'm really chasing are the ones you didn't even realize happened. The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your grandma absolutely tearing it up on the dance floor. Your partner looking at you like they just won the lottery. Those are the photos that somehow become everyone's favorites.

Awarded Best of Zola
Skyler has been nothing short of an absolute dream to work with! She shot our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a boudoir shoot. She has been incredibly kind and caring, even taking the time to reach out to us after we were hit by Helene. Her work is beautiful!! She was willing to adapt to the different styles we were wanting to try out for our pictures, and we were so, so pleased by every single photo. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and somebody we felt like we could trust throughout the craziness of getting married. She was worth every. single. penny! I am so grateful that we were able to not only get such great pictures of one of the biggest days for us, but that we got to meet Skyler and her husband in the process :-) I’m already scheming up reasons to have another photoshoot!!
