After being around weddings for years, I've found my place in specializing in intimate weddings, where I aim to encapsulate the distinct essence of every couple's love story through my lens. From the quiet glances to the joyous tears, having had the privilege to witness and immortalize numerous heartfelt moments, I'm dedicated to ensuring that your wedding day is documented in a way that resonates profoundly with your unique journey together.

Dayna is so great! She has such an incredible eye for photos and has a really beautiful way of catching moments. She also has a personality/demeanor that is so easy to get along with, and I really vibed with her. We got our wedding photos back in 5 weeks, and they are all absolutely GORGEOUS. She listened to what we wanted and what we were nervous for (and repeated it back to us to make sure she understood). I am so happy we booked Dayna and I wholeheartedly recommend her to other couples planning their wedding!

For years I have been obsessed with taking photos of everyone and everything. This is because I truly believe photographs can tell a story. As well as create unique memories that last forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. She was personable, professional, and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, including my camera shy family. She kept the day running smoothly while capturing every picture I requested and the meaningful moments behind them beautifully. Even while very pregnant, she absolutely crushed it! She was on her feet all day AND STILL breaking it down on the dance floor all night. Her positivity, organization, and genuine care truly showed in both her work and her presence. We are so grateful she was there. Having her as both our photographer and now our friend made the experience even more special. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone without hesitation!! 3 Also, a shoutout to her husband, Chris! He was great and fun on the dance floor as well!

We’re Alexis and Nate, the husband-and-wife team behind Alexis Frazier Photography—offering wedding photography and videography across North Carolina and beyond. We’re here to capture your day with authenticity, artistry, and heart (plus a few laughs along the way).

Choosing to work with Alexis for our wedding photos was the easiest and best decision we made when wedding planning, and having Nate do videography was the cherry on top. I knew her work was phenomenal from her Instagram, but I had no idea what a fun, joyful, and uplifting presence she would be on the big day. EVERY bride needs an Alexis on their wedding day, concerned you don't look perfect? She's there to correct minor issues (amazing eye for detail, no errant bra straps here!) and hype you up in a way that improves your self esteem for life. Every photo you receive is so beautiful and there's no awkward "what do I do with my hands??" Moments because Alexis is there to effortlessly guide you into beautiful poses and moments you want preserved. The video Nate curated is so special to us and is such an incredible way to remember our wedding. Every little detail is given its moment, and the editing and video quality are flawless. These are truly the people you need on your team to ensure all of your special memories are preserved and treasured in the way you deserve.

Their communication was quick and helpful from the very beginning - they were always available to answer any questions I had. The quality of their work was truly stunning, with gorgeous posed photos as well as amazing candids that captured all the special moments of our day. The whole OLAS team was so supportive and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Hiring Ali was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she felt like a helpful friend who was there to guide us through the planning and execution of our big day(s). She was a calm and supportive presence during our wedding weekend who made herself known when we needed her, but otherwise felt like a guest with a nice camera. Of course the photos look exceptional, but what stands out to us is her artistic eye and her excitement about her craft. She went absolutely above and beyond for us in so many ways and my family and I are forever grateful!

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé (now husband) found Casie for us during the wedding planning process, and I immediately fell in love with her work! Her darker style was exactly what I was looking for and her wedding engagement package is extremely well priced. Working with her felt like meeting up with an old friend. I was very worried about how I would feel about posing and if I would look awkward and she did such an amazing job directing me in a way that felt natural. I have not received a picture from her that I do not like. Casie also made the planning process so easy. She even met with me over facetime to address some anxiety I was having regarding the timeline. I ended up adding 2 hours to the photography package (again, very reasonably priced). Overall, I genuinely have nothing bad to say about Casie and her work. She is a joy to work with, her work is incredible, and she is such a fun person to be around!

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. We’re so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully and would absolutely recommend Raiana to other couples!

Hey, I'm Bri, a wedding and couples photographer based in Wilmington, NC, shooting all over the East Coast and beyond. I work in digital and film, mixing in 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, and Super 8 depending on your day. I'm not chasing posed shots. I'm after the real moments, the ones that happen in between, because that's where the honest emotion lives. My own wedding taught me exactly what I didn't want in a photographer, and it's shaped how I show up for every couple since. I pay attention, stay close but out of the way, and I'd love to hear about your day.

If you want to turn your big day into literal fine art, that you can look back on without trend, in years to come. Look no further. Bri has an unbelievable gift in capturing the art that surrounds us, the kind we dont take the time to see, and does so in an effortless and breezy way! Highly recommend!

I take on limited weddings each year. If your date is available — let’s talk.

We were a little nervous about taking photos so it was nice to do our Engagement Photos with her as well to get used to being in front of the camera, and Aira was so good at guiding us and making us feel comfortable. Our wedding photos turned out spectacular, we cannot stop looking at them! Aira captured all of the big moments, as well as really sweet little moments we would not have been able to see without her there. She is creative with angles, lenses, and poses, and we could not be happier!

When we were looking for a wedding and engagement photographer we wanted someone who was creative in their shots, had crystal clear photo quality, and had a true to life/vibrant photography style - and Maria was the perfect fit! We had a phone consultation where she asked thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple but also helped asked things related to photography to help us communicate our desires and ensure she was the right fit. Maria wants her couples to have the dreamiest day and I loved how intentional she was with helping us communicate our vision - she’s the pro and knew exactly what to ask to get us thinking! We were immediately obsessed and left in awe at some sample galleries, so we signed right away. When it came time for our engagement photos we had this super fun pre-shoot questionnaire that once again consisted of thoughtful questions (our planner was SO impressed with them), such as if there were any specific shots we wanted or our comfort level with photos. My now husband and I sat down with wine and went through the questions together, so that itself was a fun planning experience. We’re not the most comfortable in front the camera so it was cool to feel seen and have her understand us before we arrived to the shoot. And let me tell you we had the BEST time! We felt comfortable so quickly and the shoot flew by. The photos turned out AMAZING and we got even more excited for the wedding. Before the wedding we had a questionnaire to go over our desires for the wedding (and even had a chance to put secret info if you had any surprises for people or just wanted her to be aware of certain family dynamics you don’t want widely disseminated). On our wedding day Maria even handled a situation for us when we asked for help and she was the most discreet and professional and got us taken care of. We just got our full gallery back and the photos are the dreamiest - incredible sunset photos, creative and thoughtful detail shots, and excellent photos of our guests. The gallery captures our day perfectly and is everything and more than we could have asked for. Maria is timely, talented, professional, a cool person, and is someone we’d hire again in a heartbeat. Plus, she’s always down for an adventure so if you want to travel I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you there and help make your photography dreams come true. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever. All photos credited to Maria at MTD Photo Co.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae was an absolute joy to work with when my boyfriend surprised me with a proposal. From the very beginning, Mae's communication was clear, kind, thoughtful, and mindful - she truly made us feel special every step of the way. Her creative, high-quality, and unique photography captured all the special moments, including the exact moment my fiancé proposed. Mae's film-style approach gave our photos a truly special look and feel. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Mae Krell Photo to anyone looking for a talented and caring photographer who will go above and beyond to make your proposal/engagement/wedding day perfect.
