Elyssa & John Kivus are a husband & wife wedding photography team. They live in Durham, North Carolina, but have travelled for weddings before and will certainly do so again (they like beaches!) Elyssa's background is in photojournalism, and John's is in computer software, but they fell in love in law school. Their story is long y'all. They like Star Wars, beer, and Disney World. They say they like running, but that's mostly so they can get away with drinking beer.
The thing they love most is working with fun couples and making vivid, enthusiastic images.
FAQs:
The Kivus & Camera style isn't light and airy or dark and moody. It's its own thing, and it's bold and colorful and happy
Kivus & Camera will definitely travel
Most collections include two photographers
Most collections include at least one portrait session outside of the wedding (like engagement session, bridal portraits, boudoir, etc.)
All collections include beautifully edited high resolution images, delivered via an easy to use online gallery
Most couples spend between $3,000 and $4,000 on their final collection
These folks are just fabulous. I can't imagine more gorgeous photos of our day. They're also a lot of fun to spend time with, which is really important when you're basically with your photographer for your whole wedding day! They were so helpful and got our photo gallery to us amazingly fast after the wedding! I highly recommend them.

Most AMAZING photos- and awesome people!
Elyssa and her husband were an AMAZING team for our day (and leading up to it!) We went with a package that gave us an extra two sessions and so we used them for engagement as well as the wedding photos. We still get to work with them again and can't wait! They got us preview photos within a couple of days of our wedding and our large gallery was available within a month! We love them and will definitely use them time and time again!

Amazing Photographers!
We could not be happier with our photos. Kivus and Camera went above and beyond our expectations and we have received numerous compliments from family and friends about the quality of our photographs. Kivus was able to capture the fun party atmosphere of our reception and that was precisely what we were looking for in our photographer. The turnaround period was amazing, we received preview pictures within 48 hours of our event and the entire gallery in about 3 weeks. Besides being great photographers they were also lovely people and made themselves available to us throughout the wedding planning process.
Kivus and Camera is a duo of creative and ever experienced photographers! Elyssa and John have a diverse but very cohesive style; your wedding day photos will show such natural progression in mood and a variety of angles, colors, etc. They've mastered the balance of providing content that is unique but timeless, bold but classic. Our property is incredibly varied in design, expansive, and exposed to weather elements. They seamlessly covered a recent wedding in torrential downpour with such ease and grace while still managing to capture incredible shots. I truly don't thin they missed a single detail of the day or experience. Elyssa and John go above and beyond as one of your wedding day vendors; they do not just provide photography but support and guidance as well. We invite them back as often as possible!
If you love a dramatic and romantic style for photography, you will love Elyssa and company. They are so talented and a dream to work with. Hire her today!
