Yosaidy Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Sanford, NC

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Yosaidy Photography enough. She went above and beyond in every way and made our wedding day run so smoothly. Our photos are breathtaking, full of light, emotion, and love. So many people have complimented our gallery and asked who our photographer was. If you’re considering booking her DO IT. You won’t regret it.

Brennan Rieder Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Sanford, NC

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.

Cirque91 was amazing to work with! She paid attention to what we wanted while also giving professional advice/suggestions to maximize our experience. We received over 800 shots and every single one is better than the next! She was very organized and made it a wonderful experience. Very personable, easy to work with, and communication (which was important for me in a photographer) was amazing. Thank you Brennan!!

Vanessa Ray Photography 
  • Photojournalistic style

My goal is to capture every part of your story. The parts you planned for so long, the parts that didn’t go exactly as planned, and the parts that will make you laugh and cry with joy when you look back years later. I want them all, because I would want nothing less for myself, and because this part of your life, even if it isn’t exactly what you thought it would be, might be the most beautiful piece of all.

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.

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!

Hey, I’m Blythe—a wedding photographer with a heart for intimate moments and untamed landscapes. 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
Blythe Eland Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding day. Blythe Eland is not who we originally booked with (although now I wish we had known about her from the start!) The night before our wedding, our wedding photographer let us know that one half of their two person team would not be able to make it and that Blythe Eland would be filling in as second shooter. I was certainly nervous to hear this information (especially the night before) but it was clear on the day of the wedding that I had nothing to worry about. Blythe arrived early and went above and beyond. Her photo ideas and instructions were fantastic, and she seamlessly took the lead to ensure our day went off without a hitch. We were so grateful for her professionalism and talent. Since our wedding, we've had the pleasure of working with Blythe two additional times and have been consistently impressed by her responsiveness, timeliness, and the beautiful photos she captures. We cannot recommend Blythe Eland Photography highly enough.

My husband Kevin and I were looking for an elopement photographer in Cary, NC. It was a challenge to find the right person as we needed someone who's bilingual (Spanish and English). Candy is a wonderful person and photographer. She made us feel so comfortable, specially my husband who is ex-military and is a little bit of an introvert. I am so thankful for her talent as she was able to capture the perfect moments. The quality and artistic style of her photos are out of this world.

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom gave me an old film camera sometime around 5th grade thinking offhand that I might be interested in yet another art form and boy was she ever right. From then on, I've always had a camera in my hand, documenting anything and everything. Photography has been not only my chosen form of expression for over half my lifetime, but my way of learning about the world, of getting to know people, and even of getting to know myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adrian is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you're a couple that is awkward in front of a camera! We hired her for our wedding in Asheville, and she came to us in Raleigh for our engagement session. She made us feel really comfortable and didn't try to make us do any "unnatural" poses; over the engagement session, she found what worked for us, and brought out more of that! She was also very patient with our dog who did not want to cooperate at all, and still managed to get some great action shots of him! The day of our wedding, it poured! She was such a trooper about quickly moving outside when the sun poked out, and back in when the skies opened up. And when everyone hit the dance floor, she got the best personality pics of our loved ones. She was so patient with us, and everything we needed as two individuals who originally did not feel comfortable in front of the camera!
