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!

So many amazing things to say about Cody and his approach to photography and videography. He is so quick on his feet to direct and pose his clients in ways that are emotive and captivating to see on photo and video.

I truly cannot recommend Melissa enough! We clicked instantly during my screening phone call and since the moment we hired her she's gone above and beyond. We were super nervous about having our photos taken for our wedding and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the finished product. We were initially drawn to Melissa because of her work with film and we're SO happy with the quality of the images and the speed in which we got them all back. She even surprised us on our wedding day with a Super8 style camera to capture video! I would hire her again in an instant!

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
I was a 2025 bride, and to be completely transparent, we originally planned to spend no more than 3,500 on a wedding photographer. After speaking with Candy, we decided to invest 2,000 more than our initial budget, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Candy’s communication is truly exceptional—you can immediately tell she loves what she does. She is incredibly creative, adapts effortlessly to any situation, and brings such a calm, confident presence. She’s never pushy, yet she directs with grace, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were married at 21c Museum Hotel in Durham, and we wanted a blend of elegant, traditional wedding photos along with fun, fashion-forward, editorial-style images—and Candy absolutely delivered on both. Her editorial shots look so effortless, even though you can tell there’s a lot of intention and artistry behind them. We inquired with five different wedding photographers, but we immediately connected with Candy—her personality, professionalism, and stunning work stood out from the rest. Beyond her talent, she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most humble, and human people you’ll ever meet. Candy offers a truly elevated wedding photography experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for timeless, editorial, and heartfelt wedding photography.

Oak City Photography

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.

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Durham, NC

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.

Mario was absolutely incredible to work with. From the moment we connected, he brought a calm, professional energy that made everything feel effortless. He doesn’t just take photos—he captures moments, emotion, and the little details you didn’t even realize mattered until you see them. His eye for lighting, composition, and storytelling is unmatched. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, creative, and truly invested in making your vision come to life, Mario is the one. Highly, highly recommend.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

MSMP Media was the perfect choice for our wedding. Beyond the fact that their editing style was what we were looking for with bright photos, their team was incredible. We had the pleasure of working with their West Michigan Team. Jordan was fantastic and even got me a small birthday gift because my wedding was on my birthday! It was small details like this that really made our experience so great. She was great at getting us ready for photos with great directions. None of the wedding party were huge "photo" people, but she made us feel comfortable to allow for such great photos. Her eye for shots was fantastic. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from everyone that we have shared them with! Beyond the photos themselves and the actual wedding day, Marisa had great communication. We received sneak peak photos within a day of the wedding and had the entire album less than a month out of the wedding. From what we have been told, this is a great timeline. We are so happy to have booked MSMP!

DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN ARIZONA, USA, MEXICO, & EUROPE I've always been drawn to people who do things their own way. The ones who bring color, personality, and don’t fit neatly into a box. From weddings to family sessions and events of all kinds, I create bold, true to color images that capture the romance, the chaos, and everything that made your day feel like yours. What matters most to me is helping you feel comfortable enough to let go a little, be fully yourself, and actually enjoy what’s happening while I document it.

From our first conversation, Ann at NorAnna Photo made planning our wedding day feel easy and stress-free. She communicated clearly about what to expect and showed genuine flexibility when we needed to adjust our timeline. On the day of our wedding, Ann and her team were everywhere—keeping things on track while making sure nobody felt rushed or anxious. What really stood out was how she kept our guests laughing and comfortable throughout the day, which made capturing authentic moments feel natural. The initial photos we've seen are gorgeous and show her talent for finding those warm, genuine shots that tell our story.

Finding a photographer was honestly one of the biggest challenges for me. I was so happy that Natalia had our wedding date available. I had been following her on Instagram for a long time before reaching out. Her photography feels incredibly inspiring - intimate, cozy, warm, and full of atmosphere. The emotions feel real, the color composition is beautiful, and the photos are neither overexposed nor overly retouched like so many others I came across. That’s exactly why I chose her - and I absolutely did not regret it. I also want to mention that we received our first wedding photos literally the next day, which completely surprised me. (I was so busy with the wedding that I actually forgot it was written in the contract!) I expected to wait at least a week before seeing any previews. Natalia is incredibly responsible, easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. She guided us with posing when needed and created such a calm and pleasant experience overall. I’m beyond happy with the result and highly recommend this talented photographer!
