Alex Faye Media exists to tell love stories exactly as they are—unfiltered, emotional, and alive. I’m not here to stage your day; I’m here to capture the real, messy, beautiful magic of it. From photography and videography to planning, every part of what I do is about creating space for couples to breathe, laugh, and actually enjoy their wedding. I love what I do because I get to turn moments into art, and every story I tell feels like its own kind of forever.

Alex gave my partner and I a great experience and shoot. Even with the weather/sun taking a little turn on us, she worked with it and the photos came out amazing. I really appreciate her work, she really made this easy for us.

Alexis Frazier Photography & Videography

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.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

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!

Maria is INCREDIBLE, and we are so glad we chose her for our wedding photos. 1. She is super professional and prompt, but is also just a really cool person who did SO MUCH to calm our nerves leading up to the wedding. 2. Her photos are gorgeous. She has such good attention to detail, lighting, editing, and you can really really tell in the finished product. 3. She just takes photos of you whenever she is around, and got tons of great candids. 4. We had gorgeous sneak peeks within like 48 hours of the wedding - it was truly insane turnaround but was amazing for us to get hype and very quickly see high-quality photos of the day. 5. The system she uses to deliver your photos is great - we got a lot of compliments on it from our friends and family! 6. She goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you need - we filled out a survey a few weeks out listing our priorities, existing schedule, who needed to be in family photos, etc, and she sent back a really nice photo schedule document. It was fantastic to front-load this work and get it out of the way, and it made the day go so smoothly! 7. Overall she just really incredibly & beautifully captured the joy of the day - the personalities of my partner and I, our friends and family, the vibe of the venue and the party, and the sweetness of the sweet moments. We got tons of photos we will cherish forever and are so so thankful she was the one to capture the day!

I specialize in capturing the raw, real, and beautifully unposed stories of couples who choose to celebrate their love in meaningful, personal ways—whether it’s a quiet mountaintop elopement or a cozy backyard ceremony with your loved ones. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels true to you, I’d be honored to document it in a way that’s timeless, artful, and deeply personal. Let’s chase the light together.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made during our wedding was to work with Blythe, she was one of the first vendors we hired and came as a recommendation from a friend. When she arrived to my bridal suite, I immediately felt a sense of calm, and trust that she would help capture our day as we had pictured. She truly went above and beyond on our wedding day, she wasn't just our photographer, but my dress bustle expert, veil placer, hairpin carrier, bouquet carrier, dress and veil fluffer, she even grabbed a napkin and took my husband's gum out of his mouth. She communicated on the day of with my other vendors immediately, whenever I saw that something was missing or out of place. Truly our wedding day would have not run as smoothly without her. When I needed her she was right there in seconds, and during other portions of the wedding, I hardly even noticed she was there snapping photos so we truly got to enjoy our day without being constantly pulled for posed photos. All of our family members and friends kept commenting to us how incredible she was without ever even seeing any of the photos. She truly was the biggest gift to have on one of the biggest days of our lives. We only wish we could work with her again and again. From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU SO MUCH Blythe, we loved working with you and can't wait to work with you again in the future. If you are at all considering working with her please please HIRE HER!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

The quality of their work is truly timeless, personal, and stunning - Katie has an incredible talent for capturing the feeling and emotion of a moment, not just posed photos.
