Oz Images Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Knightdale, NC
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,450

I’ve been a Raleigh, NC local since 2014—by way of Chicago, by way of military brat, so, all over. With a background in theater, I know how to read a room, anticipate moments, and blend seamlessly into your day while offering gentle direction.. An avid traveler and lifelong student of the world, I’m fascinated by other cultures, languages, and traditions—curiosity that naturally fuels my love for storytelling through photography. Behind the scenes, my Type A nature keeps every detail organized and flowing smoothly. Outwardly? Calm, upbeat, and ready to pivot. I’d love to document your story—and I can’t wait to hear from you.

If you’re searching for a wedding photographer, look no further—you’ve found the best. Any couple would be incredibly fortunate to have Brighid from Oz Images capture their special day. We wholeheartedly give her a 10/10 recommendation. From the very beginning, Brighid impressed us with her professionalism, warmth, and creativity. She took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and figure out exactly how to capture the images we would value. Her communication was clear, her pricing was reasonable, and every interaction was straightforward and professional. We weren’t interested in many posed or overly formal shots. She planned and executed a few beautifully composed portraits, but what truly blew us away were the candid moments she captured so effortlessly. These photos told the real story of our wedding—a heartfelt, joyful celebration shared with 300 of our closest friends and family. Brighid has a gift for recognizing and preserving the spontaneous, meaningful interactions that make a wedding so personal and memorable. She developed a playful yet respectful rapport with our wedding party, which was exactly what our personality-filled group needed! She became part of the celebration—not just an observer—sharing in our joy and reflecting it back to us through her lens. She captured the subtle dynamics of our relationships with grace, humor, and tenderness. During the ceremony and reception, Brighid worked like a photo ninja—always present, never intrusive. She caught genuine moments of connection: laughter, tears, shared glances—photos that make us feel like we’re reliving the day every time we look at them. Our final album doesn’t just show who was there; it reveals how deeply loved and supported we felt on that day. Her turnaround time was lightning-fast. We received a sneak peek within hours and the full, beautifully edited album shortly after. Her editing style is natural, vibrant, and timeless—it elevated every shot without making them feel overly processed. A particularly meaningful note: due to a last-minute illness, my parents couldn’t attend the wedding. Thanks to Brighid’s thoughtful coverage and the help of a little technology, they felt like they were right there with us. These images mean the world to us. We revisit our wedding photos often. They make us laugh, cry, and feel so grateful all over again. Having Oz Images document our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Brighid didn’t just take pictures—she captured the spirit of our marriage and the love that surrounded us. We will treasure these images for a lifetime.

Working with Raleigh Weddings and wedding planner Ally Carpenter was one of the best decisions we made wedding-wise. Our entire wedding weekend went perfectly, and a huge reason for that was Ally's help throughout the process. Ally thought of details that had never occurred to us, coordinated with all of our vendors so thoroughly that nothing fell through the cracks, and essentially absorbed any stress of our big day so that we could enjoy every minute. Ally did all the "peddling below the water" so that we could be "swans gracefully floating on the water's surface" on our wedding day. My husband and I can not recommend Ally enough.

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.

From the moment we booked The RF Collective, her communication was effective, timely, and responsible. On the day of our wedding, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and even got on her knees to help me bustle my dress before greeting our guests. The final photos were absolutely stunning - the quality of her work is truly beautiful and natural. She also gave us previous for both engagement and wedding sessions (which I LOVED).

Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Knightdale, NC

In Raleigh, Just like in Durham, Chapel Hill, and throughout North Carolina, once the guests arrive …the wedding DJ is the most consquential wedding vendor that you'll hire. The average wedding puts 75%-80% of their event in their DJ's hands. That's why, when it’s time to celebrate and have fun, you can relax and enjoy your event with Stylus! Entertainment is the single most important part of how your wedding will be remembered. If your wedding DJ isn’t getting everyone of all ages involved, from your friends to your parents and grandparents, then they’re probably not playing the right mix for you.

We cannot say enough great things about Jason at Stylus! He truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. From the very first meeting, he was professional, organized, and genuinely excited to help us create the perfect vibe for our celebration. Stylus worked closely with us to curate the perfect playlist, taking the time to understand our music preferences and offering thoughtful suggestions that really elevated the experience. We had some unexpected rain roll through right before our outdoor ceremony.. Jason and his team helped our live musician (harpist) reposition her instrument and went truly above and beyond. What impressed us most was his ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high all night. Guests of all ages were on the dance floor, and we got so many compliments on how amazing the music was. Everyone was up out of their seats the entire night. In addition to being our DJ, Jason also emceed our reception, adding fun introductions and the perfect bits of music/songs following speeches (that tied it all together). I can truly say our wedding would not have been half as fun as it was without Stylus as our DJ. Jason even took pictures during our ceremony and reception and sent them to us after our wedding. It was so awesome seeing the DJ's POV of the night. If you're looking for a DJ who will not only deliver but exceed your expectations, look no further. We are forever grateful!

Working with Bre was easily one of the best vendor choices we made while wedding planning. Our wedding ceremony became a kind of “pop-up” style event and Bre rolled with every decision and last minute detail we threw at her. With her day-of coordination package, we were able to have 2 pre wedding meetings and a rehearsal the day before. I went into the rehearsal feeling nervous about how things would go and left feeling so reassured and excited! The day of the wedding Bre checked in with me and made sure things were running smoothly. I felt so calm and confident walking up to the venue knowing Bre was in charge and bringing our vision to life! The whole day went beautifully and I know it’s because Bre was working her magic behind the scenes. She stayed until the last moment of clean up and made sure all our personal items and gifts made it home with us. Beyond just receiving a great service, it was so special to work with someone who truly celebrated with us and took care of us like we were old friends. I would 100% recommend working with Magical Moments and wish we could get married again to continue working with them!

Matt is my brother and my husband and I chose him to officiate our wedding, not only because he is family, but because we wanted it to feel more personal rather than a generic wedding ceremony speech from the officiant. I always knew my brother was good with words and could speak in front of a crowd, but he truly exceeded our expectations to give us the most memorable ceremony we could have asked for. His speech was the perfect mix of lighthearted jokes, love, personal stories from our relationship, and information and feelings from my husband and I. He truly captured the essence of love and what it means to commit yourself to someone else for the rest of your life. Our guests still cannot stop talking about how great Matt was, even 6 months after the wedding!

We actually knew we were in great hands because not only was she recommended by our venue, Highgrove Estate, but she also officiated my sister’s wedding at The Bradford back in December 2018 — such an unexpected and special connection! Our ceremony was everything we hoped for and more. Kayelily shared our love story in a way that was sweet, funny, and perfectly us. It flowed beautifully, had everyone smiling (and tearing up!), and was the perfect length at under 30 minutes.

We are so grateful we chose Myesha as our Month-Of Coordinator! From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy and flexible to work with. As someone who planned most of the wedding myself, I brought Myesha in for the final month to make sure I had everything in place and she truly delivered.

Although they had never worked together before, they immediately got along and collaborated seamlessly on the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Myesha kept everything running smoothly. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be and that we stayed on schedule without making anything feel rushed. Her calm, professional demeanor and positive spirit made such a difference, especially during moments that could have felt stressful.

Marlon and his team are awesome! Start to finish everything was great. He does all the things you expect out of a videographer at baseline (setting up timelines with you, finding good shots beforehand at the venue, making you feel comfortable), and excels at the things you want him to. Always out of the way but somehow managed to get the perfect videos and angles. Pulling you out only at the perfect moments when there are lulls, or when he has an insane golden hour shot to take (the one of my wife and I running through a field is one of the highlights of our wedding video). I would definitely recommend Marlon, even to people who haven't decided on a wedding video, because when you receive it, or you look through his catalog of wedding videos, it captures the day in ways the pictures just couldn't, especially for us. 10/10 Highly Recommend

Kash was a pleasure to work with. I worked with him across multiple days of events and Kash made it a breeze to work on the logistics and requests for the event. He was also very accommodating of our guests requesting last minute karaoke sessions and dance numbers.

I am DJ Joey B, owner of Joey’s DJ Service based in Durham, NC. I have been DJing professionally since 2005, with weddings as a major focus of my work. On your wedding day, I serve as both DJ and Master of Ceremonies, guiding the timeline, managing transitions, and keeping guests engaged from ceremony through the final song. I provide professional sound, wireless microphones, and clean lighting to support the full experience. Planning is clear and streamlined with an online portal for music selections, Do Not Play songs, and key details.

Joey’s DJ Service was an excellent choice for our Durham, NC wedding! Joey was so kind and friendly from the jump, and we liked and trusted him starting from our consultation call at the beginning of planning our event. Even at that early stage, Joey was already advocating for us to have the wedding we wanted, sharing tips on how to structure the day so we were able to set aside time for private moments of introvert connection during a very social, family-focused event. We ended up booking him to provide music for our entire wedding day, from pre-ceremony music (played while guests were arriving and taking their seats) through the ceremony (including microphones for the officiant and groom) through cocktail hour, dinner, special dances and toasts, and the dance party portion of the reception. Joey’s attention to detail, including making sure he knew which specific versions of the songs we requested we wanted to play, and which music lined up with specific points in the schedule of events, was unmatched. Joey’s client portal made it easy to share our music choices for all these different parts of our big day. He paid close attention to our playlists/requests for the dance party while also mixing in some of his own selections, reading the room and ensuring everyone had something to dance to; this was especially impressive given that our guests ranged in age from infants to octogenarians! He was also sensitive to the nuances of a big family gathering: My dad and I don’t have a close relationship, so my mom and I did a mother-daughter dance in place of the traditional father-daughter one. When my dad put in a song request later in the evening, telling Joey he intended to ask me to dance with him to that song, Joey pulled me aside to make sure it was okay first before honoring the request. My new husband and I loved working with Joey’s DJ Service for our wedding, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this seasoned professional to anyone planning a special event.
