This couple is quite the dynamic duo. They are professional & fun. They are very artistic and come up with some of the most amazing shots I’ve ever seen!! They get some photos up on their blog within a week of the event! I am extremely impressed already and I cannot wait to see the rest! Well worth the price (& they give teachers a discount!!)

They are an open minded, creative, and flexible team. We searched around the area for a few weeks and couldnt find any photographer offering the same amount of work for the price of 2 and 3 photography. We are excited to be working with Thad and Sarah!

Thad and Sarah did our wedding photography on May 7th, 2011 and we couldn’t have been any happier!! They’re professional, fun, an awesome couple to be around, and guess what?!… they take the best wedding pictures I’ve ever seen! These two are amazing! They unobtrusively were everywhere at all times (sounds impossible, but somehow they were) and caught every memorable moment of one of our happiest days! It was awesome!! Many thanks to Thad and Sarah for your hard work, your incredible dedication and talent to your work, and especially for being so much fun to work with!!

Thad and Sarah are incredibly nice people, super easy to work with and AMAZING at what they do. They did our engagement pictures and my bridal portraits. There were so many good pictures from the bridal session that it took me forever to decide on one to print for the reception. We love all of our pictures and have every intention of contacting them again to take pictures of the next big event in our lives.

I used 2&3 Photography for my bridal portraits and wedding day photos and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Thad and Sarah are not only very talented photographers, but they are so fun and very attentive to the needs of the bride and groom. Their pictures are gorgeous… my family and friends are raving about how amazing our photographs are and how nice Thad and Sarah were at the wedding! I promise 2&3 photography will not disappoint!

2&3 are truly amazing. They take their job very seriously, but have a great time while doing so. They will help you out wherever you need it. They will do any combination of pictures you want and are really yours all day of your wedding. We saw a good number of our pictures a week after our wedding. Most photographers make you wait months to see your pictures. We got all of our pictures back a month after our wedding. That is unheard of, we have friends who got married in the summer and are still waiting for their pictures. We got over 1000 pictures from our wedding and are able to print as many copies as we want since they will give you a cd of all your pictures. They take the time to edit each picture individually and the quality of the pictures are amazing. I would highly recommend 2&3 to anyone who is looking for a photographer.
Laura and Paul – married October 23rd, 2010
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and The University Club at NC State, Raleigh
I met Thad and Sarah through a college friend who hired 2&3 for their engagement and bridal portraits. Just from seeing the bridal portrait my husband and I knew we wanted to hire them. They have amazing creativity and are the hardest working photographers out there. Their packages are hands down the most affordable and highest quality in the area. Each person we have referred has hired them and in turn, referred someone else. As a husband and wife team they work well together and their work speaks for itself. 2&3 created favors, invitations, designed programs and were with us the entire wedding day. They posted over 1700 photos for guests to view after the wedding and EVERYONE loves the photos. Please visit their website and see the great work they do. It is truly 5 Star!

We couldn’t have asked for anything more.. Our pictures came out beautifully and they will be treasured for years to come! We loved our photographers.. they made sure to capture every moment without us even noticing them being there. Thad & Sarah are professional, friendly, and extremely talented!

We hired Thad and Sarah to photograph our engagement pictures and our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a better pair!! They are very good at what they do and they kept the mood light. Their ability to capture the moments that we were looking for were amazing and the product of their pictures was more than we could have ever asked for. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer and would go back to them for any of our photographing needs!

Even while we were battling the potential for a rainy day, 2&3 put together a breathtaking set of photos for us and captured the great times we had at our wedding. We were so fortunate to have them involved in our day and provide us with photos that will spark memories for many years to come. They adapted to everything without the slightest hiccup from our last minute venue change to unforgiving weather to people jumping over people. We had a great time at our wedding and could not imagine having a better team involved.

If you are looking for great photograghers. Look no more! Sarah and Thad are the best photographers I’ve seen! They did my bridal, engagement,and wedding photos.And all of my photos were just beautiful! I could not have asked for more! And as for Sarah and Thad themselves they are just really great people. They really stretch themselves to the limit to make sure they get the pictures you would LOVE not just like! They capture the most romantic pictures. There was one of my bridal shots they made, my photo look like a fairy tale! I have had so many great comments on just that photo alone! I hope this helps with your decision!
JR and Crystal – married January 9th, 2010
Cordova Baptist Church, Cordova
Sarah and Thad were so creative and professional in capturing our engagement photos that we asked them to capture our wedding memories too. They were always quick to respond to our emails and phone calls, and even drove to Sanford to meet with us in the beginning. They have a passion and excitement for photography that is seen in each picture they take. You can see their fun-loving and energetic personalities through each image. Although I wasn’t the easiest Bride to work with, they gave me the most exquisite Bridal portraits while keeping me calm. My portraits were taken on the beautiful campus at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. They also photographed the moments we wanted to remember the most at our wedding rehearsal, ceremony, and reception having to succumb to the snowy and icy weather conditions on the day of our wedding. We received 200 prints and a CD alongside my matted and framed bridal portrait, and their originality and imaginative photography vividly reminds us of our love with each picture we see. In the future we hope that Sarah and Thad will be available to capture other memories and events in our lives.
Jessica and David – married December 19th, 2009
Tramway Baptist Church, Sanford
Sarah and I knew that we were going to be very busy at our Wedding, which also meant that we would not be able to take everything in that was happening. Since time was short, it was critically important that we find the right photographers to capture all those special moments for us. Sarah and Thad from 2 and 3 Photography met and exceeded our expectations. They were professional, prompt, friendly and most importantly great at what they do. You know that you chose the right photographers when you are presented with hundreds (could also say thousands here) of photos and have a hard time picking your favorites because they are all so good. We would recommend Sarah and Thad to anyone who wants to capture those precious memories and enjoy them for a lifetime.
Thanks 2 and 3 Photography!

2&3 Photography did an incredible job with our wedding pictures. They were a joy to have there taking pictures of everything. They really helped make everyone feel very relaxed but at the same time have a lot of fun. Our wedding pictures could not have been more perfect. If you want the total package in a photographer for any special event or moment in your life — 2&3 PHOTOGRAPHY is the one to choose!!! They also are always very quick to respond to any questions you may have, and have your pictures ready to view right when they say they will. We plan to use 2&3 Photography for years to come and have already highly recommended them to all our family and friends.
Jason and Kimberly – married October 10th, 2009
The Henrietta Riverboat, Wilmington
Thad and Sarah Lawrence at 2&3 Photography did a fantastic job with our wedding. He and his wife were not only professional, but they were also a pleasure to have at the wedding. Thad and Sarah’s vision and creativity is truly masterful, and the pictures they took of our wedding are immaculate. They were also very generous and they did not limit themselves in their task. At our wedding, they took many more pictures than we had contracted to ensure the best possible photos, a gesture which was greatly appreciated. After the wedding, they were invited to the reception to join us for lunch, but they proceeded to take more photographs and captured some of our favorite photos even though they were supposed to be relaxing. At the end of the day, we had received over two-hundred photos, even though we were only contracted for fifty.
In preparation for the ceremony, I did not have to do anything, which was for the best. Thad requested the date, time and location of the wedding, and he and his wife took care of everything else. They will also allow you to personalize the photos you receive, but I let the professionals make those decisions for us and I am glad I did.
After the wedding, Thad and Sarah were very quick in preparing the photos; within a week, we had received an email with a link to Pictage (a photo website which allows the bride and groom, their families, friends, and even their enemies, if you so choose, to view, crop, and purchase any additional photos in various sizes) which made it a very simple process for everyone to pick and choose which photos they would like to have without the hassle of calling anyone and everyone for copies.
Overall, my wife and I had a lovely experience with Thad and Sarah at 2&3 Photography; we highly recommend their services to anyone in need of an expert photographer, whatever your budget. Thad and Sarah truly captured our wedding beautifully and they were extremely nice throughout the entire process.

I am a professional photographer and designer so my standards are extremely high and I truly think that 90% of all wedding photographers in North Carolina are absolute garbage with rates & ego’s that will make your head spin.
2&3 are in that other 10% and are at the very top of the list.
They are humble, affordable, and deliver amazing work.
Photography is the most important part of a wedding because seriously, when you’re 90 years old and can’t tell the difference between your colgate and preparation H until it’s too late, at least you will have the ability to reflect on if Uncle Jimmy really ripped his pants during the electric slide, and it will be covered from EVERY angle.
So in closing, if you don’t use 2&3,
Don’t get married.
Trust me, you’ll be doing yourself a favor.
Justin and Miranda – married May 30th, 2009
Walnut Creek Country Club, Goldsboro
Sarah & Thad made my wedding so memorable! Not only did they spend countless hours answering questions and e-mailing me back and forth but they were very professional. We did bridal pictures at Sarah P. Duke Gardens and they could not have though of better pictures and poses. They go up and beyond normal photographers. I recommend them to everyone I know. I felt like a celebrity on my wedding day and I loved the photos to document the whole thing from the pre-wedding to the reception. Sarah & Thad really understand your want and needs and do everything they can to make your wedding pictures different from the rest. They give you 100% of their time, wonderful creativity, very quick at getting the proofs back. I had over 1000 pictures to choose from that they edited for me to make them look perfect. They took 2000+ pictures that day! Talking about great skills. Wonderful down to earth, great prices, wonderful people! If you don’t believe me… e-mail me I will be glad to talk to you about them: elisabeth01@windstream.net

We were very pleased with the service at our Golden Wedding anniversary (Dec. 30, 2009). Both photographers used the very attractive opportunities of Rigmor House to make numerous unusual shots from different angles and heights. Thus we have a very personal “pictage” of the event; because of the numerous shots we will also be able to look at many pictures with fond memories – for later occasions to view them and share them with others. Thank you again very much.

Sarah and Thad do a wonderful job. They are very diligent to get every imaginable shot. We were very surprised of how many pictures they took throughout the day! During our search, we wanted to make sure that we had multiple photographers to capture every single moment of our special day. That is exactly what we got for our wedding. Another great part about Thad’s work is that he spends just as much time and effort into the editing of our pictures. During our viewing, he showed us some power lines that were in one of our pictures. He was able to edit them out and you could never tell that they were ever there. We received our pictures in a timely manner and the experience of viewing them was also special. We absolutely recommend 2 &3 Photography to anyone looking for a professional job with great value. Kari and I appreciate all the work that they put in to making our special day the best we could ever imagine!
