Justin recently photographed our wedding, he super friendly and did an amazing job of capturing our wedding. You can truly see the passion Justin has for his work when he is shooting, he was ready for rain or shine and took great care in making sure he got every wonderful wedding moment captured. We’re not the most photogenic couple but he did a fantastic job of helping us create some natural poses that even the most awkward people look great in and that we will enjoy for generations. I am so thankful we chose The Old North State Photography for our wedding day and you will be too. The prices were great and you could not ask for more knowledge and fun photographer.

​We are Laura & Drew! *IF YOU LOVE OUR WORK, PLEASE REACH OUT TO US ON OUR WEBSITE WWW.LAURAMEMORY.COM* Laura is a full time artist working in photography, videography, & photo editing. Drew is a Ph.D. child clinical psychologist by day & photographs with Laura on weekends. Laura's middle name is really Memory! We are super chill and down to earth and hope our photos reflect that ease. We love those candid and joyful moments, genuine laughter, beautiful details, and capturing your love story in a journalistic and natural way. Always down for adventures, non traditional weddings, and travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
Y'all... I don't even know what to say about how much I love Laura and her husband, Drew. Not only did they capture our wedding day brilliantly, their presence actually made the day even better! Laura is exceptionally great to work with. Her paperwork is easy and prompt, she responds to emails quickly, and will even set up a virtual call to discuss whatever you would like. Her prices are fair for the amount of photos you receive and the quality of her work and service. Laura did our engagement photos and wedding photos. Scheduling our engagement session was easy and stress free (as was the wedding, but you probably already guessed that!). We met her in Miami since she was down there anyway. Laura was down for an adventure so we went to a botanical garden where we got eaten by mosquitos but Laura was positive and having fun the whole time. The photos are GORGEOUS and we used them for all of our wedding materials and website. We have gotten so many compliments on all of our photos! Laura and Drew arrived a day in advance of our wedding and let us know when they arrived so we had peace of mind. They were on time to our wedding (if not early) and stayed until they were contracted to leave, not a minute early. They were having so much fun at our wedding and captured so many amazing moments. As a note, they are super fun but also take their work very seriously and were busting their butts the whole day to make sure they caught every precious moment. Laura and Drew made us feel so comfortable. They are hilarious and go-with-the-flow but also make sure they stick to the timeline and are diligent about getting every picture you want. They arranged all of our bridal party and family photos, making sure they all looked good. Laura and Drew are also very sensitive to family matters. We have some complicated family dynamics and they handled them like champions, making sure our day was stress free. It is clear that Laura and Drew are committed to making sure the couple has a wonderful stress-free day. Laura carried around my extra makeup all day so I could blot my face and I'm pretty sure Drew served us drinks at one point because we were thirsty taking pictures. All of our friends are obsessed with Laura and Drew - we still talk about how much we love them several months later - because they are actually that wonderful. Laura and Drew are EXTREMELY inclusive. We are a same-sex couple and were so comfortable with them. All of their paperwork is gender neutral, which is not something I can say for our other vendors (no shade, it's just the truth) and it was sincerely appreciated. Some of our friends use they-them pronouns and Laura was sure to get this information in advance so she could make sure to call everyone what they prefer. We received a surprisingly large sneak peak of photos the day after our wedding. All of our friends and family were shocked at how quickly we got all those photos, but it's because Laura is an editing machine. We got all our other photos back well within the timeframe provided. There are literally hundreds of photos and every single one is perfection. Laura even did a little bit of photoshopping that I requested, which I really appreciated. Long story short, look no further for the wedding (or other event!) photographer of your dreams. Laura and Drew are truly one of a kind (well, two of a kind) and they will make your wedding day exceptional! I wish I could get married again so I can hang out with them more.

I'm a wedding photographer based in Raleigh, but my roots trace back to the beautiful state of New Jersey. Photography has been my passion since I can remember, and I'm incredibly grateful to turn that passion into my profession. As a wedding photographer, I have the honor of capturing the most special moments of a couple's life and turning them into cherished memories that last forever. Beyond weddings, I love photographing families and people from all walks of life, freezing moments in time that tell unique stories.

I had been going back and forth with my now husband for months on if we should hire a photographer or use a family friend but one meeting with Nicole showed me that she was the perfect person for this job. She made me and Josh feel comfortable, safe and respected. I have never felt more beautiful than I did captured in these photos by Nicole. She felt like a part of my extended family that day and made the entire day perfect. If you're thinking of hiring Nicole, I would absolutely recommend it and you will not regret it.

I’m a tar heel, iced coffee lover, and cat lady who moved from NYC to a NC horse farm as a young girl. This gave me all the versatility I’ll ever need at any shoot. I’d love to hear your story!

Labeling Giovanni's work 'great' would be an understatement! Having her as our photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding was one of the best decisions we have made. Not only is she kind, relaxed and fun while working, but the results of her photos are incredible. We have looked at our wedding photos everyday for the last 3+ months since, and have felt nothing but joy. Our appreciation for Gio is unending as we know we will hold these photos close for the rest of our lives. She captured these memories perfectly. Oh! and the #1 compliment we have received from others about our wedding is how WONDERFUL the photos are. Gio crafted photos that were exactly what we wanted yes, but she somehow also made it everyone else's favorite too! We could not recommend a photographer more than Gio.

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.

At the wedding, he was very professional and went above and beyond every step of the way. He was attentive and captured every special moment. The photos are really amazing and he did an excellent job directing us and our families during the posed photos and capturing candid moments without intruding. He got our gallery to us quickly and the photos were beautifully compiled. We cannot recommend Tom enough!

This storyteller believes that your wedding day shouldn't feel like a photo shoot, but should be full of genuine moments that are unique to your love story. As a fly on the wall with a photojournalist style, I am less concerned about "blog worthy" shots and more about the candids that show who you are and who you love. I find importance in preserving fleeting moments and the importance of printing photos, not just letting them live in an online gallery.

Holy cow! When we were looking for a photographer and we saw Amy’s photography we reached out right away hoping she would have availability. We decided against doing engagement photos and instead had Amy come a day early for the rehearsal dinner which we were so happy. Amy made sure to keep in touch leading up to the wedding and guided us regarding some of the decision making for day of. She was so easy to be around and was totally flexible with impending weather. It ended up raining day of and Amy was still able to get the most amazing shots. We wanted to make sure that she was able to capture the special moments during our weekend and she did just that. We had an amazing time looking through all of the photos and will treasure them FOREVER! Also, she got everything back to us so quickly which was so nice. We would 100% recommend hiring Amy for your photos. She is a rockstar with an amazing eye.

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.

Hi, I'm Danielle & I've been known to hype people up! I'm a creative entrepreneur who's been chasing her dreams since starting my biz at 21. Photography, providing education for photographers, and now podcasting, are kind of my thing! Cheesy teen movies make me happy, and I watch way too much New Girl. I have a slight addiction to white cheddar popcorn, and wine is my true love language. I want to help + hype you up for whatever stage of life you're in, by showing you that you are not alone in your thoughts, feelings or experiences and that you already have everything you could ever need to make your dreams a reality.

I worked with Danielle as a planner from Lucky Day Events Co. on a recent wedding. Danielle had the whole incredible vendor team cracking up the entire night! She was super professional, but fun, making the guests laugh which of course makes for the best candid/natural photos. She stayed beautifully on time and delivered photos to us and the clients in record time. Literally gave us sneaks to post to social media THAT NIGHT. I can't wait to work with her again on a wedding!

I have always been a very visual person, find happiness in the details, and love people who march to the beat of their own drum. Deep conversations are my kind my thing, and people who are madly in love and aren’t afraid to show it make me very happy. I’m a photographer, yes, but also a storyteller, creative soul, educator, marriage supporter, and hopefully someone you would call your friend.

She easily fit in with our friends and family and was so easy to collaborate with when we wanted particular shots. She was always there in the right moment capturing candid moments and we absolutely love her style photography and the way she works with natural light. She was an absolute joy to work with and we could not be happier with our photos.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Our experience with OLAS was amazing from start to finish! Although we didn't work directly with the photographer until the day of the wedding (except for a zoom call where we got to meet her and talk about our vision), everyone on the team was super helpful and willing to answer any questions we had. I told Hannah (Event Planner for OLAS) over the phone that I thought they were some huge, conglomerate business because all of their emails and outreach seemed so put together and professional, so I was so surprised to hear that it was really just a small team of kick-a** women that are behind all of this. I love supporting female-owned and run businesses, and this truly seems to be one of the best. I wouldn't be surprised if they expanded a ton in the near future, so I am glad we got in when it was such a small and intimate team. You can tell they love what they do and really want to make your day special! Our photographer was also amazing on the wedding day, and even though we hadn't interacted with her too much before, she made us feel super comfortable the entire day and really seemed to love working for OLAS, which was great to see!

We had a traditional wedding, and while it was the right decision for us at the time, looking back it could’ve been so much more intentional, focused on us + our relationship, and the things we’re the most passionate about. Because of that, we have grown to be super passionate and dedicated to helping couples create elopements and intimate weddings that are the truest reflection of themselves in the places that inspire them the most and documenting that for them.

Jaira and jesse have been 2 of our favorite people for a long time and to have them take our engagement and wedding photos was such a dream. The engagement pictures felt like just going on an adventure with our best friends on top of a mountain. And our wedding photos we were able to be ourselves and they captured all of the best moments. We look back at all our photos at least once a month and are always in love. They are truly incredible at what they do and I can’t recommend them enough. If your looking for a laid back, down for anything photographer these are your people too!

She seamlessly adapts to changing weather conditions, unexpected delays, and venue adjustments, ensuring that the photography remains on point throughout the day.

Growing up, I was obsessed with magical love stories. Fairy tale love stories always left me with a euphoric feeling. I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

Words could never explain how appreciative and outstanding Caitlin is! We booked Caitlin for engagement pictures, bridals and of course the big day! Her and her husband made us feel so comfortable and really kept the shoots fun for us. She is wonderful with communication, talent, and always on time. She made the entire process from start to finish such a breeze! In our package we added on the Photo Booth and I must say it is soooo worth it our guest couldn’t get enough of it so I highly recommend adding it on. This was our party favor and you get unlimited photo strips. We also had the photo album added on and she went above and beyond our expectations and made our album better than we could’ve ever imagined or done ourselves. The point is if you’ve made it this far then YES you better jump on it and book Caitlin and her husband because they are the best team!

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11 years, but I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil – and I’ve been in love with stories just as long. Of all the ways to create a life around storytelling and art, I’m so glad to have found this one: weddings are filled with stories both intimate and profound, and with elements of beauty that delight the artist in me. I love the challenge of seeking, finding and capturing the beauty I see, and telling your story as I see it unfolding before me.

Ayesha was an absolute dream to work with! She was so good about planning all the different kinds of shots we wanted ahead of time. She was willing to get on as many phone calls with me as needed during the planning process (I had so many questions beforehand)! And she was wonderful at reminding me of all the different kinds of photos/portraits we should get. Our wedding was a typical South Asian wedding, which meant we had 3 different days of events, and Ayesha covered all of them flawlessly. Needless to say, it was A LOT for one photographer to handle, but she did it all beautifully and we (including our families) couldn't be happier with the final photos. We cannot recommend her enough!

When I started wedding photography 15 years ago, I wanted to create stunning pictures that showed off my technical skills. Those skills are helpful, but they are no longer the focus of my attention. You are. Now, my goal is to make sure you have the best wedding possible, and that you remember as many moments and details as possible. You may think you'll remember it all, but life moves on and you'll forget more than you expect. I'm here to remind you what your wedding day was like, how much you love your family and friends, and why you got married. I'm excited to help you have a wonderful wedding full of beautifully captured moments.

Ellen photographed my wedding and two separate engagement sessions. This stated, there is nothing more I can say than if I ever have a need for a photographer again, I'd hire her every single time! Her ability to get the perfect shot in every situation is simply amazing. Further, whether she had to take her shoes off and stand knee-deep in water, or provide firm (yet friendly) directions to friends and family after the ceremony (to get all our pictures done in time), she was as competent, kind, and professional as any photographer I've ever seen. I understand how hard it is to trust one person with capturing the most important moments of your life, but Ellen did not disappoint!

On most weekends you can find me, Robert ('Bobby'), photographing weddings—either in New York (where I lives) or farther a field: in various locations around the US and abroad. I find wedding ceremonies to be more than just a series of actions, people, and images to be “captured,” but rather recognizes them as events full of deep personal and cultural significance, particular to a specific time and place and community. As such, I assumes the responsibility of documenting these moments with great respect, believing them to be deserving of a discerning eye and an artistic hand.

We had the pleasure of meeting Bobby a few years ago when my sister got married. When we got engaged, he was the first vendor that we booked. Bobby is an incredibly professional and passionate photographer. His work captures every emotion of the day. What we love the most about Bobby is his calm demeanor and that he blends in with the crowd. He is really flexible and is willing to accommodate all needs. We are currently in the process of making our wedding album and it’s hard to choose the photos, as every one is better than the next. We are forever grateful to Bobby for capturing our special day.

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away.
