Currently booking for 2026 & 2027 I've been photographing weddings & couples for 11+ years and couldn't imagine doing anything else! Wedding Photographer 🏳️‍🌈 For ALL couples. Based in Raleigh, NC, and am always available for travel within the US.

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca is absolutely incredible and we couldn’t recommend her enough! My wedding is March of 2025 but so far she has captured our engagement session and also my boudoir session for my grooms wedding gift! I have never experienced such an amazing, friendly, and talented photographer and we are so glad Rebecca gets to capture our big day in a few short months. Each session she makes you feel so comfortable and this makes the process feel so natural allowing the best results. Rebecca also captured my family members wedding and I was present for this occasion she genuinely is such a comforting and bright light to everyone she encounters. Rebecca always is so quick about sneak peaks of your gallery which I truly enjoy and her work is unmatched! Me and my fiancé will always continue to work with Rebecca for any photography needs in the future. We 1000/10 recommend Rebecca for any of your photography needs

Jimmy went above and beyond in his role as photographer. Not only were the photos absolutely perfect and returned in a timely manner, he did far more than take photos. He was attentive and made the experience fun. We clicked well with him and he understood our vibe. When something went wrong with our ceremony plan, he was the first to come and check in and help get me back in track to enjoy our special day. He cleared my plate from the reception so our speech photos wouldn’t be impacted, and he did a great job photographing our dogs who were not easy to corral. Thanks Jimmy for being amazing!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick is a gem!! We are so thankful that he photographed our wedding. My partner and I had a lot of requests, and Nick accommodated them all while never making us feel difficult. He listened carefully to what was important to us - for my husband it was not stopping the party to take pictures and for me it was LOTS of candids of our loved ones. Somehow Nick made it happen!! We got gorgeous photos of the two of us just being ourselves with each other and amazing dance floor shots of our guests having the best time! With no posing!! The colors in the photos are fantastic -- even though Nick does AMAZING work outdoors he makes indoor photography feel just as special. Nick made a special effort to take a lot of photos of my grandparents and our parents specifically which we will treasure in years to come. Our friends said that the photos "look like how the day felt" which felt so right. We were amazed by how many micro moments between guests Nick captured!! Reliving the day via the photos is now my favorite past time. To top it all off, Nick was incredibly kind and calm throughout the day. Everyone in our families raved about how nice our photographer was. He worked with our coordinator for our timeline to run on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We got to be fully present all day long. It was the exact energy you want by your side throughout your wedding. If we could change one thing it would have been having Nick for more time!!

PLEASE INQUIRE VIA MY WEBSITE. Telling your love story through the lens of my camera is my passion. There isn't a right way to feel it. The only way to capture the raw feelings between you and your soulmate is to tailor the process to suit each unique individual. I want to capture your soul essence and the connection you share. If you want to elope and say I do on a mountain, I'll pack my bags! It is YOUR day and I am here to help make it happen.

Anna is the best! And we mean it! We booked her for our engagement photos in 2024 and shortly after booked her for our April 2026 wedding. During our engagement session she made a parking deck in downtown durham look like magic while we were in opposing hockey jerseys, so we felt confident that she could capture our wedding day even better. It was so great to be able to trust in her creative vision, knowing that she has a great eye for emotional, romantic, and moody moments. Also, she was unafraid to give us direction which was so great! It was a fantastic mix of getting some help in posing for photos and allowing us to just be. Her work was even better than I could imagine and I’m so happy she was able to capture our day. Her style is warm but true to life and she captured the emotions of the day beautifully. We are so happy to have these photos to relive our wedding day like it just happened, and I know that Anna will knock your own wedding or special event out of the park!

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!

Melissa is an absolutely incredible photographer to work with. She did our engagement photoshoot, our wedding day photoshoot assisted by Chelsea, and she shot some photos at our wedding afterparty. From the very first moment we talked to Melissa, we knew she truly cared about our vision. We live out of state, and she had multiple video chats with us and we texted inspiration photos back and forth for months. She bought special film for our engagement photoshoot just to capture our vision. She could not have done a better job! She was professional, thorough, on time, and went above and beyond at every opportunity. You won't find a more talented or harder working photographer at her price point, and as an added bonus, she's an incredibly sweet person and a real treat to hang out with :)

I truly love working with weddings. I’m happily married, I have a wonderful wife and two kids, and family means everything to me that’s why I treat your day with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m happy to be part of this new chapter in your life. On your wedding day, my full attention is on you & your story, emotions, and moments. I believe great preparation is 90% of success, which is why I always arrive early to check the venue, light, timeline, and details. I’m easygoing, connect naturally with people, and work calmly and kindly so you feel relaxed as much as possible.

We felt completely at ease the whole day. Working with Roman gave us a real sense of calm and confidence throughout the entire day. He is very polite, attentive to details, and at the same time completely unobtrusive during the shooting process. On our wedding day, he arrived early, coordinated with the planner, and carefully structured the timeline. Because of that, everything flowed smoothly without any stress or pressure. We never once worried about whether the shots would turn out well- his professionalism was evident in every moment. The final photos feel very atmospheric, beautifully capturing the mood and emotions of the day!

Erin Jay Wedding Photography earned our recommendation. Erin’s prompt communication from the beginning was invaluable. Despite being directly affected by the devastation caused by hurricane Helene, Erin made sure to stay in communication and even traveled to Knoxville, TN from Asheville, NC to capture our wedding. There are no words for that kind of dedication. She truly cares about what she does. There was a lot going on in a short amount of time, but Erin was steady, calm and managed to get some truly beautiful photos of us, the scenery and friends and family.

Welcome! Nice to connect, I'm Lee, a Charlotte wedding photographer documenting destination weddings, elopements, and intimate weddings that are driven by a deep sense of nostalgia and feeling. My style is natural & organic; the kind of images that connect you back to moments, people and places. I like to shoot a wedding as if I was one of your guests; raw, sincere, from the inside out. I look forward to getting to know you too!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lee has been a pleasure to work with for my wedding photography from the very beginning. On our introductory call, he spent a long time trying to understand us as individuals and as a couple, as well as what our vision was. He was open and flexible in ensuring that we felt comfortable working with him, which is so essential when it comes to a wedding photographer. Even though we booked months ahead of time, he was great about maintaining communication and continuing to check in with us throughout the process. When it came time to meet him for our engagement shoot, he easily and quickly made us feel comfortable in front of a camera, something we had felt worried about. He is kind, gentle, and personable, while also being our biggest hype man! It’s very clear that behind the camera, there’s a person that’s passionate about and believes in what he does. This helped us to already feel very comfortable with him on our wedding day, which was an important component for a day that could get chaotic and stressful. He was there to remind us to live in the moment. I couldn’t have asked for more and I absolutely recommend trusting Lee with one of the most important parts of your wedding journey!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

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.

Our work involves a lot of interaction between you and your partner: the way you smile, hug, laugh and goof off together. We use natural light to create artistically genuine moments. Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor. We're not someone who simply ‘gets the job done’— We're with you every single step of the way, from the first time we talk until your images are delivered.

Now And Forever Photography was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Alicia, the lead photographer, was easy to communicate with, messaging and calling to finalize all the details for both our engagement session and wedding day. Her eye for detail, use of natural lighting, and creative approach really brought to life the ideas I had envisioned. When we hit a hiccup with the engagement session location closing early, Alicia was extremely understanding and helped us seamlessly reroute to capture beautiful photos. I highly recommend Now And Forever Photography and will definitely keep them in mind for any future photography needs.

Wilder Weddings Collective is a dedicated team of elopement and wedding photographers passionate about capturing wild love and real emotion. Based in Western North Carolina, but willing to travel anywhere, we’re leading a revolution in wedding photography, bringing the focus back on couples, their commitment, and the whole experience of the day.

From the very beginning, Carolyn and Jake went above and beyond what we ever expected from a wedding photographer. Not only did they capture the most incredible photos, but they even helped us find the perfect location to get married. Their guidance, kindness, and genuine excitement for our day made the entire experience so much less stressful. They were so fun, easygoing, and comfortable to work with. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and it honestly felt like we were spending the day with friends. Then we got our gallery… and we were absolutely blown away. The photos were even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. They captured every emotion, every little detail, and every special moment so perfectly. If you’re looking for photographers who truly care about their couples, go above and beyond, and deliver breathtaking photos, Carolyn and Jake are your people. They exceeded every expectation we had, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. We are so incredibly grateful for everything they did for us!

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

We booked Sharon for our engagement photos and wedding and any expectation and hope I had for how the photos would turn out were exceeded by Sharon! Her ability to capture the best of both posed photos as well as candids were everything I was looking for. There was not a single tender moment or a moment of laughs that was missed by her and her team and I would recommend her to any and everyone! She also is so patient and quick to communicate and I truly could not have asked for a better experience! Thank so much, Sharon, for getting every precious moment that we can look back on for years to come!

Your wedding photography should feel as unforgettable as the day itself—filled with emotion, depth, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make it yours. My approach blends editorial artistry with real, heartfelt storytelling—so you get the iconic, cinematic shots and the quiet, unscripted moments in between. With a mix of film and digital photography, I create images that feel nostalgic yet modern, timeless yet full of life. Whether you're celebrating in a historic estate, a backyard under the stars, or halfway across the world, I’m here to capture it with care, intention, and an eye for the details that matter most.

Skyler has been nothing short of an absolute dream to work with! She shot our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a boudoir shoot. She has been incredibly kind and caring, even taking the time to reach out to us after we were hit by Helene. Her work is beautiful!! She was willing to adapt to the different styles we were wanting to try out for our pictures, and we were so, so pleased by every single photo. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and somebody we felt like we could trust throughout the craziness of getting married. She was worth every. single. penny! I am so grateful that we were able to not only get such great pictures of one of the biggest days for us, but that we got to meet Skyler and her husband in the process :-) I’m already scheming up reasons to have another photoshoot!!

Hi, I’m Meg! If you want a wedding photographer who feels like a friend cheering you on all day, that’s me. I’m warm, upbeat, always smiling, and I genuinely love people. I’ll happily chat with your friends, your fam, and very likely, your mom. Connection comes naturally to me, and it shows in the way I document weddings. I’m drawn to laughter, happy tears, tight hugs, and all the in between moments that make your day feel like yours. I want your photos to feel warm, honest, and full of joy, the kind that bring you right back to how it felt to be surrounded by your favorite people.

One of our headline DJs, Jordan (Aka: DJ Showout), had the pleasure of working with Megan at Jon and Nafeesha's wedding on May 12th, 2024, it was fantastic! Her communication, attention to detail, ability to capture perfect moments, and friendly presence made the day even better. The photos are absolutely STUNNING, and we have only seen the sneak peeks!! I am beyond excited to see how the full gallery comes out! I highly recommend Megan for your wedding and look forward to working with her again!
