Yosaidy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Wake Forest, 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 are NOT people who feel comfortable in front of a camera, but Yosaidy made us feel so relaxed and natural. She guided us without making anything feel forced, and the results are incredible. Our wedding photos look like something out of a magazine but still feel 100% like us. We are beyond grateful for her talent and patience.

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.

Hello, and thank you for considering us for your photography needs! We are a husband and wife photography team located in Goldsboro,NC. Thomas is active duty military and I am the fulltime photographer. My husband assists me on weddings as my second shooter and our mini shoots throughout the year. Weddings are such a magical day and we want to help you remember your special day with beautiful photos you won’t forget.

His and Hers Visuals made our special day even more memorable! All my communications were with Dejiana, and she always responded quickly and thoroughly. She asked about inspo for wedding pictures well before the ceremony, and she incorporated my vision into her work! She was even earlier to the ceremony location than we agreed to, which was very appreciated. She provided sneak peeks very shortly after our day, and the full gallery was available within 2 weeks, which worked perfectly for us!

We absolutely LOVE the way our photos turned out. We had two photographers and both of them were very nice to work with. They got great detail shots and candid photos, which was important to me.

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.

Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Wake Forest, NC
  • 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.

Her communication style was thorough and kind, putting us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process.

We live out of state, and she had multiple video chats with us and we texted inspiration photos back and forth for months. She bought special film for our engagement photoshoot just to capture our vision. She could not have done a better job!

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!
