I wish there was a way to express our 100% satisfaction and gratitude beyond just a 5-star review. Choosing Carina as our wedding planner was the BEST decision we made at the beginning of our planning process. From the first conversation, we could tell she was passionate about and dedicated to making our wedding the best day ever, and it didn’t hurt that she was making us laugh along the way too :) Overall, she gave us an amazing experience, and we’re even more thankful to have gained a lifelong friend along the way. Hurricane Helene hit WNC 2 weeks before our wedding date in 2024. Once she broke the news that we would not be able to host our dream wedding in Asheville, she offered so much support and put in an insane amount of effort to help us come up with a plan B. Not only did she re-plan our ceremony and dinner in a different city in less than 10 days, but she also traveled to Atlanta to coordinate what ended up being a beautiful, memorable, and very special day. And if that was not enough, Carina stuck with us for another entire year to make sure our dream wedding was made a reality. In 2025, we were able to renew our vows at the original venue in Asheville, then party the night away the way we had imagined. All this would not have been possible without Carina’s immense dedication. We’re so thankful to Carina for sticking with us through the hardest days and delivering not one, but two of the best days of our lives. Literally cannot express our happiness, satisfaction, and love for Carina enough!! 3 You will not regret booking Raleigh Weddings for your special day! In fact, you may regret NOT booking Raleigh Weddings. We love you Carina!!! Maybe we’ll throw a 3rd wedding just to continue working with you (JK, but maybe…) 3

DJ Frank is the man. We are beyond thankful that he was our DJ for our wedding. We first experienced Frank at a friend’s wedding and knew right then that we had to have him for ours, and he absolutely delivered. Frank brings such incredible energy to the room, but never overpowers it. He’s as professional and easy to work with as they come. Leading up to the big day, he took the time to really get to know us and understand our music preferences, which made all the difference. We were pretty specific about not wanting the typical, overplayed wedding songs or line dances, and Frank pulled off an amazing party without any of those. The music matched our taste perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night long, seriously, no one left! We can’t recommend DJ Frank highly enough. He knows how to read the crowd, set the perfect tone, and make your celebration unforgettable. If you want a DJ who’s professional, thoughtful, and knows how to throw an incredible party, look no further.

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). We couldn't be happier with the memories they captured of our special day. Highly highly recommend!

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! If you are looking for a wedding officiant to personalize your ceremony, make you and your guests laugh, and make the whole room feel the love between you and your partner, I truly recommend Matt for your special day!!

Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

I was a 2025 bride, and to be completely transparent, we originally planned to spend no more than 3,500 on a wedding photographer. After speaking with Candy, we decided to invest 2,000 more than our initial budget, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Candy’s communication is truly exceptional—you can immediately tell she loves what she does. She is incredibly creative, adapts effortlessly to any situation, and brings such a calm, confident presence. She’s never pushy, yet she directs with grace, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were married at 21c Museum Hotel in Durham, and we wanted a blend of elegant, traditional wedding photos along with fun, fashion-forward, editorial-style images—and Candy absolutely delivered on both. Her editorial shots look so effortless, even though you can tell there’s a lot of intention and artistry behind them. We inquired with five different wedding photographers, but we immediately connected with Candy—her personality, professionalism, and stunning work stood out from the rest. Beyond her talent, she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most humble, and human people you’ll ever meet. Candy offers a truly elevated wedding photography experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for timeless, editorial, and heartfelt wedding photography.

Located right outside of downtown Raleigh, you will find The Historic Wakefield Barn. Built in 1934 and renovated in 2017, the barn is a luxury wedding venue in North Raleigh unmatched in its scale and charm. This is the perfect barn wedding venue that can accommodate events large and small! The Historic Wakefield Barn is a National Historic Site that sits on 14 acres – the property includes a bridal suite, horse barn, the main barn and outdoor event spaces. The venue combines the barn’s history with subtle modern touches that result in a unique event space. The property is still an active horse farm, with two horses who live on-site named Mandatory, and Jackson!

The Historic Wakefield Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was outstanding - Brent was so helpful and responsive, making the entire experience stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a unique vintage and classy feel that exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to make our day special, providing a beautiful custom "Savannah" hanger when we booked the venue and even arranging for horses to be part of our celebration. When it rained right after our ceremony, we were so grateful for the indoor/outdoor capabilities - the team had a seamless rain plan that allowed us to enjoy the rest of the evening indoors. I highly recommend The Historic Wakefield Barn to any couple looking for a stunning, versatile wedding venue.

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.
