Hi, I’m Yosaidy your hype woman, storyteller, and third wheel with a camera. I’m a Venezuelan photographer and graphic designer, currently based in New York (but always down to travel). I’ve been in the U.S. since 2016, but I actually started shooting weddings back in Venezuela when I was just 18. Since then, photography has taken me on the wildest ride meeting people from all over the world, learning about different cultures, and capturing the kind of moments you never forget.

Yosaidy has an amazing eye for detail. She captured not only the big moments but also the small, meaningful ones the looks, the hands holding, the laughter with family and friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have asked for a better photographer than Casie!! We met her for our engagement shoot and she made us feel right at home, despite neither of us loving getting our picture taken. It gave me a lot of calm on our wedding day knowing we were in good hands! Casie was always early and super professional, responded to emails immediately, and set up meetings so we could discuss expectations and what we wanted. We got a sneak peek with lots of photos just a few days after the wedding, and we just got the rest of the photos and are so thrilled with them!! She got everything on our shot list, gave just the right amount of direction to look nice without feeling forced, and really captured the day beautifully--including moments that I myself didn't even realize were happening! She worked well with our videographer, and her second shooter was also amazing.I would highly recommend Casie!

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.

Raleigh, NC
  • Photojournalistic style

I specialize in creating anxiety-free photography experiences for couples who want beautiful wedding documentation without the stress of being in front of a camera. My approach is editorial yet unscripted — I design a photography timeline that feels natural to you, then capture authentic moments as they unfold. The result is a gallery that reflects how your wedding actually felt, not just how it looked. I work exclusively with design-driven celebrations where thoughtful details and genuine emotion take center stage. My clients value artistry, discretion, and a photographer who anticipates moments before they happen.

I did 3 separate shoots over the course of my wedding season with Brennan (engagement, boudoir, and wedding day), and it was the best choice I could’ve made. Brennan truly has a gift - she’s an intuitive photographer who knows how to get “The Shot” and she made me feel comfortable and natural in front of the lens. Aside from her photography skills, she’s an amazing communicator. I loved seeing her interact with my family on the wedding day - she has the BEST personality and everyone loved her. Brennan goes above and beyond. She’s prompt. She’s versatile. She listens. Choose Brennan and thank yourself for it.

I'm Niki and I'm so glad you dropped by! As a little girl, you could often find me with my nose buried in a Life or Time magazine - poring over every single image. I'm lucky enough now to be able to create images that freeze a moment and memory in time... I began my photography career 12 years ago and I haven't looked back since. I'm a creative based in Raleigh, NC that loves travel and going off on an adventure to capture my client's most prized moments. My greatest joy is capturing a split second and freezing it, knowing that my clients will be able to go back and relive that moment whenever they want. I'd love to talk to you!

My husband and I were married on Halloween night, and we were looking for a photographer with a unique style to highlight the special occasion. Niki did not disappoint. We love sharing the images with our friends and family. The portraits are among my favorites. I love how they embody the spirit of the event. Along with the stylized poses, I love the candid moments seen in many of the portraits that truly reflect the relationships behind them. She made sure to capture all the details we had put into the ceremony. Niki is a wonderful addition to any wedding team!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

I used to be a divorce attorney, I had brain surgery, and now I'm a wedding photographer. Yes, you read that right. But there's obviously more to the story. Before going to law school I went to school for photojournalism and even worked for newspapers. After brain surgery turned my life upside down, I realized I wanted to go back to my roots as a photojournalist and I wanted to capture truly joyful, enthusiastic moments and voila - I fell in love with weddings and photographing them.

When it came to wedding planning, the photographer was my most important decision. That's also what I say to friends and family who are planning weddings. After everything is over, your photographs are what you have to remember a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is over in a blink! It was important to me that our photos reflected our personalities and were worthy of our walls and frames. Kivus & Camera are truly exceptional wedding photographers and were everything I had hoped for. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was open, caring, and responsive. They were dependable and fully committed to ensuring our wedding day was captured beautifully. As an LGBTQ couple, we worried the perfect photographer would be hard to find, but Elyssa and John are wonderful, and we couldn't have done better. Elyssa is a lovely person who is easy to hang out with on top of being a fabulous, talented and professional photographer. The quality of their work is simply stunning - they have an artistic, one-of-a-kind style that resulted in photos that are both beautiful and unique. We will enjoy our photos and memories from our engagement shoot and wedding day for years to come thanks to the thoughtful way Elyssa and John captured each moment. Logistically, our photos were easy to get and work with. Elyssa curates things for you in a way that makes sense. We ordered a photo book as well, and it is absolutely gorgeous. We cannot recommend Kivus & Camera enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect. In fact, they just photographed my sister's wedding this summer as well. So you know that we were all happy if we were willing to make it a family affair! You will not be sorry if you work with Kivus & Camera. (But you might be sorry if you don't!)

Hello, I am Mario, a Raleigh-based photographer. I am an NC native, and I have always been creative, as I started playing instruments at 11 years old. With over 5+ years of photo and video experience, I blend documentary and editorial styles to create imagery that feels authentic, emotional, and timeless. My journey began as a wedding DJ, where I learned how to read the room and stay present in every moment. These are the skills that I carry behind the camera now. Whether I’m photographing or filming, my approach is simple: I show up as a guest, not just a vendor, prioritizing your experience while quietly capturing moments that matter most.

Working with Mario and Luxe Portraits was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The booking process was seamless and easy, with clear communication throughout every step of the way. What really stood out was Mario's dedication to our vision—he took time to consult with us and ask thoughtful questions to ensure him and his team captured exactly what we wanted. Mario even arrived two hours early on our wedding day to set up and give us complete peace of mind, which spoke volumes about their professionalism. The final photos are timeless and truly unique, capturing our day in a way that feels authentic and genuine. The pricing was worth every penny, and I would recommend Luxe Portraits to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about delivering exceptional work.

I'm an engineer by day and a photographer at night. I have always loved photography and shot my first wedding 6 months after completing my engineering degree. I have been tapping into my artistic side through other people's beautiful weddings ever since. I have countless weddings in my portfolio and have taken classes of life and formal training to hone my skills. The eye came naturally. My schooling gives me the unique advantage of perspective and responsibility. I'm going to capture every moment in beautiful detail, and I'll keep us on time.

Oak City Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Liz and Kim were open, available, and maintained a consistently positive attitude. They were detail-oriented in their approach, capturing our day in a modern and artistic way. The value they provided was unmatched, as they truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable - they even had fun dancing between shots! I HIGHLY recommend Oak City Photography to any couple looking for talented, professional, and personable photographers to document their special day.
