Vanessa Ray Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Wake Forest, NC

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.

From our first conversation, Vanessa Ray made us feel heard and asked thoughtful questions that showed she really cared about capturing our day. She was kind and professional throughout the entire process, and her pricing was incredibly reasonable for everything she delivered before, during, and after the wedding. What meant the most to us was how she helped our daughters feel involved and seen in the celebration, and how wonderful she was with our parents, especially our older dads. She has such a sharp eye for detail and caught adorable moments between us that we would have completely missed. The photos are stunning and truly exceeded what we expected for the cost. We can't recommend Vanessa Ray Photography enough.

I'm an elopement photographer, because I believe eloping couples deserve to have wedding days that are full of comfort, playfulness, and adventure somewhere stunningly gorgeous with zero stress! <3. I specialize in Glacier National Park and Western North Carolina elopements and love to serve couples with unlimited planning assistance.

We were SO blessed to have Des. She is so much more than a photographer. She has become our biggest hype girl and such a close friend, since working working with her. She will take such excellent care of you and make sure that you have a day that is an honest reflection of your relationship. She was able to guide us into choosing the most epic location, connect us with incredible vendors, and put us at complete ease. We’re super laid back and she made everything so easy and chill. We were taken care of through the entire experience. We we’re nervous about exploring somewhere new, but Des knows her stuff and was able to navigate us through the location scouting process seamlessly. The day of felt nothing like a photo session and more like hanging out with a really cool friend that gave you as much space as you needed to be vulnerable with your partner, while also keeping the hype up. She had such an incredible pulse on our needs. We were nervous about looking awkward or feeling camera-shy, but she knew exactly what to say to help up feel comfortable. There was no awkward posing or forced emotion, just really subtle prompting that helped you ease into each moment. The entire day was amazing and none of it would have happened without her skill and guidance. We felt like we could trust her to keep us present in the most important moments. We cried when we got our images, they were absolutely breathtaking and 1000% us. We loved being able to share this day through these images with all of our friends and family that weren’t there. They were able to laugh and cry with us. Getting your gallery from Des is like getting to relive your favorite day all over again. She is an absolute gem that impacted our lives in such a positive way. We had no idea how gorgeous Montana was until Des blew our minds with all of the incredible knowledge that she has. If you’re curious about how amazing eloping can be, she’s the girl to talk to. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Hi, I’m Hailey! I specialize in capturing elopements, micro weddings, and intimate celebrations where the focus stays exactly where it belongs: on your unique love story. My style is warm, moody, and deeply authentic. I skip the stiff, awkward poses to chase the real, unscripted moments, the quiet glances, cozy embraces, and genuine laughs. I'm here to capture the day exactly as it felt, creating stunning visuals you’ll cherish forever. If you value a meaningful, intentional wedding day over a chaotic timeline, let's connect and create something beautiful!

Hailey Ann Studio made our wedding day so much easier by staying in touch throughout the planning process and being upfront about what she'd capture for us. Her attention to detail showed in every single photo, and her editing skills brought out colors and moments we didn't even realize she'd caught. What really set her apart was how she jumped in to help with things beyond just taking pictures, making sure we could focus on enjoying ourselves. Her creative eye gave us shots we wouldn't have thought to ask for, and now we look back at our album and can't pick a favorite because they're all stunning. We'd highly recommend Hailey Ann Studio to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about making their day special.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,482

I love photography and often I would like to pause life to enjoy a special moment for just a little longer. I started my journey by photographing nature but was always drawn to weddings and portraits. I've been photographing weddings in Wine Country in CA since 2008. I recently moved to Raleigh, NC. It takes an experienced photographer to make people comfortable in front of the camera in order to capture their true personalities. I am available for weddings, engagements, portraits, and events in Raleigh/ Durham, NC and I am starting to offer destination weddings including Europe. I truly love what I do!

Magdalena is kind, professional and is an outstanding photographer. I have worked with Magdalena for over 10 years and she is always charming to fellow vendors and to the bridal party and their guests. I can recommend her services one hundred per cent.

Casie Weathers Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first conversation, Casie demonstrated an open, helpful, and kind communication style that put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we were looking for in terms of capturing our special day. Casie's organizational skills, artistic eye, and clear talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered. We had provided Casie with a detailed shot list beforehand, and she made sure to get every single photo we requested, even some we hadn't thought of. The only thing I wish we had done was make sure to get like a full length shot of my dress front and back and a great photo with just my siblings - something to keep in mind for future couples working with anyone. Overall, we are thrilled with the quality of Casie's work and highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding. She captures people in a beautiful way that is always so unique to the couple. We did 8 hours. We recommend 9 because getting ready always takes longer than you think. - happy couple

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.

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!

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!

Alex gave my partner and I a great experience and shoot. Even with the weather/sun taking a little turn on us, she worked with it and the photos came out amazing. I really appreciate her work, she really made this easy for us.
