Jules and Conrad Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

Hi! We're Julie and Rad. We met in Vietnam in 2016, and have lived in eight countries together since then. During our time abroad we've had plenty of adventures, seen incredible wildlife, eaten a lot of wonderful food, and honed our photography skills. We also got married in 2020! Planning a wedding during a pandemic involved an unusual set of challenges. Although our guest count was a little smaller than we originally anticipated-- the day could not have been more perfect. This was made possible only because we hired and trusted the right people. We try to instill the same trust so you can enjoy your day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply Amazing! We had our engagement shoot at the Biltmore estate and it was nothing short of magical. Julie was able to capture exactly what I wanted the pictures to look like. She is a joy to work with and helped us feel relaxed and at ease. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and everyone that lays eyes on them is OBSESSED! They take your pictures and capture who you are but also make it look like a beautiful piece of art. I simply cannot say enough good things!

Jared is a top-notch photographer with a keen eye for capturing joy. I came across Jared's photos and was immediately enamored by how bright and cheerful his style was, and after two engagement sessions and a wedding gallery, I can 100% attest to the high quality return on investment customers will receive from him. Our engagement and wedding photos really captured the essence of the spaces we were in, as well as the happiness and excitement for being engaged and getting married. Jared is easy-going and keeps his word on time scales. I recommend Jared to any couple considering beautiful, captivating photos they want to keep for their lifetime.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

**Please inquire through my website. I do not respond to messages on Zola.** Hey there! My name's Nick, I'm a wedding photographer and videographer from NW Georgia. My goal is to provide an authentic story of your wedding while providing a comfortable and fun experience! Whether you're having an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I'm here to listen, understand your vision, and bring it to life.

I’m not sure how to even put into words how incredible our videographer, Nick, was at our wedding. He exceeded our expectations in absolutely every way. He was so much more than a videographer for us, he truly kept the day flowing, the jokes rolling, made sure I was hydrated in the Georgia heat, and was our biggest cheerleader. I think it is truly an art for a videographer to be able to follow you around all day capturing memories, but to feel as if you aren’t even being followed. Nick is truly one of the kindest people you will ever meet, he is very passionate about his work and it shows. He also delivered videos of our ceremony in less than two weeks from our wedding day, which was an absolutely AMAZING and quick turn around time. It was so special for us to be able to look back on our sweet day so soon after. I cannot wait to allow Nick to capture so many more memories in our lives throughout his photography and videography business at Fenton Photo LLC. Thank you so much Nick!!

After graduating college my goal was to coach and work in the fitness industry. Long hours and the realization that I was working really hard to make someone else a lot of money led me to entrepreneurship. I left a job in 2019 to start my own business. That little business is now my career! My love for photography and helping other families like mine preserve memories has only grown since starting my own family. My kids are my "why" and I truly believe being a mother and a wife has made me a better businesswoman.

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.

Being behind the camera isn’t just about clicking a button and editing a photo and delivering it. It’s about making sure you capture each and every detail even if the couple doesn’t realize it. I’ve become passionate in what I do because I love the smiles that it puts on people’s faces and the happy tears that stream down their face when I deliver the most beautiful album that they get to hold on to for the rest of their lives. True love is real. Capturing my couples is like bringing a romance novel to life.

Marylyn, owner of Momentous Memories, has been my go-to girl for YEARS!! She never disappoints!! She knows just how to capture the most amazing moments and love between two people. Her photography is stunning and she creates such a fun environment to be in! My husband does not like having his picture taken, but she knew exactly how to get him to open up and pose for pictures. She was great at communicating throughout the pre-wedding process and ensuring that she knew how our day was going to go. Even though on our day it poured down rain, Marylyn worked her magic and created an album of the most breathtaking photos. I will always highly recommend her to anyone I know!

Hospitality Butler is your premier wedding and event planner. We create unforgettable experiences with meticulous attention to detail and a passion for exceeding expectations. From venue selection and design to catering and entertainment, we handle every aspect to ensure your event is a resounding success.

Working with Matt Starnes and the Hospitality Butler team was the best decision I made for our wedding in April 2025. We hired them for full-service planning, and from start to finish, Matt brought professionalism, warmth, and unmatched attention to detail. As a detail-oriented bride, I had a strong vision, and Matt honored that while also offering his own thoughtful, creative ideas like carrying the floral design into the ceiling of the tent and recreating a fringe linen I loved for our champagne and cake tables. I trusted him fully. He ensured our crest appeared consistently across the event, and he found a way to display the handwritten notes we wrote for each guest in a meaningful and beautiful way. When I had a dress malfunction with my gown on the wedding day, Matt stepped in immediately, he wrapped his arms around me, reassured me, and had his team fix it on the spot. That kind of care and responsiveness is exactly what you want on such an important day. Matt cares and that is something I will always cherish. If you’re planning a luxury wedding and want a team that can handle every detail with grace and excellence, I cannot recommend Matt and Hospitality Butler enough. I miss our planning meetings and will be continuously jealous of those that get to work with him and his team!

She took the time to walk us through different mediums and showed us examples to help us decide what would work best for capturing the unique details of our special day. The final charcoal piece is truly one-of-a-kind and a work of art that we will cherish forever. Abigayle's attention to detail and creative vision were outstanding, and we highly recommend Lucky Moon Studio to any couple looking for a truly custom and tailored wedding keepsake.

FêteFone® is a modern twist on the traditional guest book—where guests talk instead of write. Using a stylish vintage phone, your loved ones can leave heartfelt, funny, and unforgettable voice messages that capture the true spirit of your celebration. Your big day goes by in a flash, but with FêteFone, you’ll have the voices, laughter, and love preserved forever. Imagine hearing your grandmother’s kind words, your best friend's inside jokes, or the excitement in your guests’ voices—all at the lift of a receiver. FêteFone helps you capture the magic of your celebration—the joy, the tears, the laughter—in a way you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

As a planner with over two decades in the industry, we’ve seen trends come and go—but FêteFone has completely changed the game when it comes to guest books. It’s intuitive for guests of all ages, beautifully designed to complement any wedding aesthetic, and it always ends up being one of the most talked-about elements of the night. Our couples are blown away when they get their messages, and the keepsake phones look stunning in their homes afterward. From a logistics standpoint, it’s a dream—no WiFi, no app, no stress, and round-the-clock support. By creating the audio guest book, FêteFone has elevated it into something truly personal and unforgettable.
