These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Sean gave us an incredible experience with stunning results. He was punctual, professional, and gave very clear instructions for his shoots. He also was very excited to be a part of the process and involved in our special day. When it came time for the ceremony and reception, he was sure to stay out of the spotlight and took incredible pictures without us having to remember that he was there. 10/10 experience and 10/10 quality on the final photo results. We would highly recommend him for any event you may have coming up!

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.

Yosaidy has an amazing eye for detail. She captured not only the big moments but also the small, meaningful ones the looks, the hands holding, the laughter with family and friends. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving our wedding day all over again. Her work is emotional, beautiful, and so thoughtfully done.

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.

I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was a 2025 bride, and to be completely transparent, we originally planned to spend no more than 3,500 on a wedding photographer. After speaking with Candy, we decided to invest 2,000 more than our initial budget, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Candy’s communication is truly exceptional—you can immediately tell she loves what she does. She is incredibly creative, adapts effortlessly to any situation, and brings such a calm, confident presence. She’s never pushy, yet she directs with grace, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were married at 21c Museum Hotel in Durham, and we wanted a blend of elegant, traditional wedding photos along with fun, fashion-forward, editorial-style images—and Candy absolutely delivered on both. Her editorial shots look so effortless, even though you can tell there’s a lot of intention and artistry behind them. We inquired with five different wedding photographers, but we immediately connected with Candy—her personality, professionalism, and stunning work stood out from the rest. Beyond her talent, she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most humble, and human people you’ll ever meet. Candy offers a truly elevated wedding photography experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for timeless, editorial, and heartfelt wedding photography.

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!

This made the experience so smooth as we were all on the same page! Not only is Elise a wonderful communicator, but she put us at ease. We were so comfortable with us -- and we are both not people that love posing for photos. She is talented and everyone we shared our photos with was so impressed.

An avid traveler and lifelong student of the world, I’m fascinated by other cultures, languages, and traditions—curiosity that naturally fuels my love for storytelling through photography. Behind the scenes, my Type A nature keeps every detail organized and flowing smoothly. Outwardly? Calm, upbeat, and ready to pivot. I’d love to document your story—and I can’t wait to hear from you.

If you’re searching for a wedding photographer, look no further—you’ve found the best. Any couple would be incredibly fortunate to have Brighid from Oz Images capture their special day. We wholeheartedly give her a 10/10 recommendation. From the very beginning, Brighid impressed us with her professionalism, warmth, and creativity. She took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and figure out exactly how to capture the images we would value. Her communication was clear, her pricing was reasonable, and every interaction was straightforward and professional. We weren’t interested in many posed or overly formal shots. She planned and executed a few beautifully composed portraits, but what truly blew us away were the candid moments she captured so effortlessly. These photos told the real story of our wedding—a heartfelt, joyful celebration shared with 300 of our closest friends and family. Brighid has a gift for recognizing and preserving the spontaneous, meaningful interactions that make a wedding so personal and memorable. She developed a playful yet respectful rapport with our wedding party, which was exactly what our personality-filled group needed! She became part of the celebration—not just an observer—sharing in our joy and reflecting it back to us through her lens. She captured the subtle dynamics of our relationships with grace, humor, and tenderness. During the ceremony and reception, Brighid worked like a photo ninja—always present, never intrusive. She caught genuine moments of connection: laughter, tears, shared glances—photos that make us feel like we’re reliving the day every time we look at them. Our final album doesn’t just show who was there; it reveals how deeply loved and supported we felt on that day. Her turnaround time was lightning-fast. We received a sneak peek within hours and the full, beautifully edited album shortly after. Her editing style is natural, vibrant, and timeless—it elevated every shot without making them feel overly processed. A particularly meaningful note: due to a last-minute illness, my parents couldn’t attend the wedding. Thanks to Brighid’s thoughtful coverage and the help of a little technology, they felt like they were right there with us. These images mean the world to us. We revisit our wedding photos often. They make us laugh, cry, and feel so grateful all over again. Having Oz Images document our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Brighid didn’t just take pictures—she captured the spirit of our marriage and the love that surrounded us. We will treasure these images for a lifetime.

Katey Vaughan Photography was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first call, Katey was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and guiding us through the photography planning process. On the day of the wedding, they were organized, punctual, and captured our celebration with a bright, vibrant style that we absolutely love. The final photos are stunning and we are so grateful to have such beautiful memories of our special day. She is also SUPER quick to give back the final photos (we got ours book within a month after our wedding day).
