  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,500

We're Nate and Emma, a husband-and-wife wedding photography and videography team based in North Carolina. We specialize in candid, documentary-style photography and videography and capture weddings all over the East Coast. Our approach to wedding photography and videography is simple: we’re not here to turn your wedding into a photoshoot. Instead, we document the day as it naturally unfolds, unobtrusively and authentically. The result? Images and films that reflect who you are as a couple and capture your wedding exactly as it happened.

“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. Thanks Nate and Emma!”

At Raleigh Cakes, every wedding cake is scratch-made from real ingredients and designed around your vision. We are a licensed, insured commercial cake studio in Wake Forest serving couples throughout Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, and the broader Triangle area. Our lead artist and owner Aurora is Culinary Institute of America trained and a former on-call stand-in for multiple cake shows. Her philosophy drives everything we create: your cake should taste as good as it looks, if not better. We offer wedding tasting boxes, work from your inspiration images, and handle delivery and setup at your venue.

“Raleigh Cakes made the very unfamiliar process of creating a custom cake of this magnitude smooth and easy. The team was prompt and helpful whenever I reached out with questions or ideas about my cake design. I had a vision in mind, and they worked patiently with me to bring it to into being- exactly as I'd imagined. On the day of our wedding, the delivery was flawless and the cake was a showstopper. The flavor of the cake was spot on, and was very popular. The personalized attention they gave us really showed; I cannot recommend Raleigh Cakes enough to future couples looking for a dessert vendor to create their vision.”

  • Florist

Every wedding tells a story, and I believe the flowers should feel just as personal. As a NC native and Pittsboro farmer-florist, I grow many of the flowers I design with, pairing the best of each season with your style, color palette, values and the details that matter most to you. Whether it's a favorite color, a cherished family memory or simply the feeling you want your guests to remember, I love translating those ideas into flowers that feel aligned with you. You don't need to know flower names or what's in bloom. That's where I come in. I guide you through the process, creating flowers that are beautiful, seasonal and very you.

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Buck Naked Farm! The flowers for our fall wedding were stunning. I loved colorful dahlias. They perfectly complemented our barn wedding venue and the colors just popped against the bridesmaid dresses. Jennifer took the time to get to know us and added small details that reflected us —like tucking in blooms that were my grandmother’s favorite flower. It made the arrangements feel so special. She even custom grew the most amazing colored sunflowers for us! The entire process was seamless, She communicated clearly and often so I knew everything was covered. If you’re a bride who wants something different than run-of-the-mill flowers, Buck Naked Farm is IT.”

Hi, I’m Rebecca—the heart and eye behind the lens. I’m a wedding photographer drawn to the quiet, in-between moments—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything. The soft glances, the gentle laughter, the way your hands find each other without thinking. Those are the moments that tell your story honestly. With a refined, minimal approach, I focus on creating imagery that feels effortless and timeless. My goal isn’t just to document how your day looked, but to preserve how it felt. The emotions, the connection, the intimacy that makes your love uniquely yours.

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 had such a wonderful experience working with raiana! From our very first conversation, communication was excellent. They were responsive, attentive, and made sure every detail was thoughtfully planned. We especially appreciated their attention to detail and how smoothly everything came together. she captured the important moments beautifully, while also noticing the little moments that made our day special. My grandma's picture is one of my favorite. The delivery was also incredibly fast, which was such a lovely surprise.

Hi, I’m Elle! I’m a Makeup Artist, Bridal Expert, and Licensed Esthetician with 18 years in the beauty industry. I specialize in bridal makeup ranging from natural and soft glam to full glam, always customized around you, your features, and your personal style. I’m based in the Raleigh area and work with brides throughout North Carolina, including destination and coastal weddings. I provide makeup services only, but I also have a network of hairstylists I work with and can provide recommendations if you need both services. Outside of weddings, my work includes special events, commercial, film, print, and makeup education. I also offer brow and lash services to all of my clients in a private studio setting.

“Elle is truly amazing! She did my makeup for my wedding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calm, positive energy that made the whole morning feel relaxed and special. Her talent is incredible — she made me look and feel like the best version of myself, and my makeup lasted all day and night. Elle’s kindness and genuine care shine through in everything she does. She made me feel so comfortable and confident, like I was spending time with an old friend. Since then, I’ve gone back to Elle for my maternity and family photo makeup, and every single time she makes me feel beautiful, confident, and completely myself. I can’t recommend her enough!”
