It all started about 20 years ago! Terry began shooting wedding videos (in Weddington, NC to be exact), and soon transitioned into digital photography. The business grew so rapidly that he employed his daughter, Sarah, and her husband, Josh. Then came his son, James. Terry is the "God Father" of our "The Family" team.
He likes to call himself "Papa Razzi!" since becoming a grandfather to now 12 grandchildren! Four of those children are mine. Hi, I'm Sarah; the lady of the group! I run the web-site, social media, and client relation portions of our company. We are a team full of talent in various genres of photography.

Terry and James were wonderful to work with and have serious skill with photography! Our venue has a reputation for being dark, and you could never tell by looking through our photos. They captured so many great moments, and were helpful with little things along the way like fixing cufflinks, giving pointers on cutting the cake, ect. Great value for the service you get at a wedding!

Sarah and Terry are the best in their field. Their energy, passion and expertise permeated every aspect of the process, culminating in a breathtaking photographic record of our engagement and wedding day. The process of selecting photos for our wedding album could not have been easier. Sarah was super helpful in suggesting options and finishes. Plus she didn't bat an eye at any of the changes I requested. I cannot say enough good things about this family of professional photographers!

Carolina Media Star did our engagement and wedding photos as well as my bridal portraits. Myself and my husband have nothing but praise for Terry, Sarah and James. They did such a spectacular job with everything, are always kind, respectful and very professional. The photos are breathtaking and always magazine worthy! If you are looking for a great team of photographers, they are it!

Terry and James were absolutely wonderful! We were confident in our choice from their previous works but it was solidified with the outcome from our wedding. Open communication and great personalities. My husband and I will definitely recommend Carolina Media Star to anyone in need of great photography.

Mr. Terry is a awesome person and a very amazing photographer! My wife found him and we have nothing but positive things to say about him. He’s very professional, funny, knows all the good moves and positions to pose. Definitely on time and schedule as planned. If you’re in the area of him and looking for a real nice photographer Carolina Mediastar is the place to go!

Seriously the best. My wife and i got engaged in the fall of 2016 and we started to decide that we wanted a destination type wedding. Being from NY we wanted it to be reasonable travel time and we already had some friends and family in North Carolina so that is where we started our search. When we Found the Preston Woodall house we quickly realized that we found exactly what we were looking for. When we signed the paper work after our tour the gave us a couple names for each vendor we would need but to be honest the only name they gave us for photography was Carolina Media Star and simply stated

When my (now) husband and I started wedding planning in November 2016, we were WAY behind for our June 2017 wedding date! We booked our venue, and the owner/director told us that if we didn't have a photographer yet, we HAD to check out Carolina Mediastar! With one glance of their website, we immediately sealed the deal :) Terry shot our engagement pictures, and to say we had fun is a complete understatement!! We obviously were only supposed to have a set amount of time for our pictures, but he never once made us feel rushed or looked at his watch as if we were being a pain (even though I know
