When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

  • Starts at $3,600

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

Awarded Best of Zola
The minute my fiancée and I found Chris (via a wedding photog friend who was unavailable for our date) I told him that I was a former wedding vendor myself, I know how the sausage gets made, and I just wanted him to be real with me. He totally got that and took it to heart. He went above and beyond to help us sort out another photog for part of our wedding experience when some of our plans had to change and I really appreciated his communication throughout the process. He made it fun and was easy to work with, was amenable to capturing my preferred "good side" and ending up sending us some truly amazing photos. I'm not the world's most photogenic person, and he did such a great job of sorting through snaps of (what I assume were) hundreds of double chins and closed eyes - he sent us a set of final photos in which I felt like I looked pretty in every single one and our joy just really shines through. 10 out of 10, would hire again!

Sharon captured our special day in Alexandria, VA and we are so thankful she did. Our photos were beautiful. She was so easy to work and communicate with. It made planning so easy with her. I planned my wedding during nursing school so it was extremely stressful and I am so glad Sharon was there to make this part of wedding planning stress free.

My valued clients give off energy that keeps me going which motivates me to push my boundaries to create the stunning, crisp, and vibrant images you see.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a great experience with Jon and would highly recommend his services to others that are looking to hire a photographer for a surprise proposal. I contacted Jon through his website less than three weeks before I was planning to propose. I received a response within a few hours, had a call with him to work out the details within a few days. Jon had great suggestions for my proposal plan and was able to provide example images of other proposals he had captured at various locations. The examples he provided were very helpful in my planning and gave me assurance as to what the final product would look like. Jon contacted me the week of the proposal to confirm final details and was responsive via text the day of. He was prompt and was at the location at the planned time. Initially was hidden in the background allowing the proposal to still feel intimate and private. He captured great pictures of the proposal, and you would have no idea other people were in the area by looking at the final pictures. Jon exceeded expectations in capturing photos after the proposal. He provided clear instructions and the photos turned out great. The photos were made available to us online within hours which made it easy to share with family and friends. Overall, Jon was responsive, easy to work with, and captured high quality photos of a very special moment.

Natasha Lamalle Photography

Washington, DC
  • Photojournalistic style

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were searching for a photographer who could capture our wedding as it really was, from the intimate moments to the wild dance floor, and Natasha's documentary-style fit our needs exactly! She listened carefully to what we wanted - minimal posed pictures, non-traditional "first look", lots of candids, etc - and she more than delivered. We had 130 guest count and Natasha covered basically every inch of our wedding day, no need or want for a second shooter. She was everywhere and so stealthy that we didn't realize she was so close to us the whole night until we got our pictures back. Our ceremony was outside and dinner/dancing were inside, and regardless of the lighting, the pictures turned out perfectly, she was even able to capture non-blurry pictures of guests jamming on a packed dance floor! She was a pleasure to work with, the instructions of her process were easy to follow from start to finish, and had a lot of examples to look through which gave us a good idea of what we were getting. We especially appreciated that she sent us a few pictures the morning after our wedding as a sneak peek, very nice touch. She's genuinely kind and calm which helped us remain present during our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed by the quality and we are too. We're thrilled we picked Natasha and highly recommend her!

You’ll sleep easy knowing you'll always be able to look back at your Wedding Day in bright, beautiful color when you receive your wedding photos in about 4-6 weeks.

Nicole and Jose of Bokeh Lane Photography are simply wonderful! So energetic and creative! They shot our engagement session and are slated to shoot our wedding whenever COVID allows for that. We wanted a photographer that has a great eye for candid shots and heard about these two from a friend who had their engagement and wedding shot by them. My friend’s pictures were beautiful, so I reached out to Nicole and Jose. They helped us with every step of the process, even with picking out outfits before the shoot. They’re kind and professional and just so easy to work with. I am not used to being in front of the camera, whereas my fiance is a natural in front of the camera. I told them that up front and they made sure to make me feel comfortable while just letting my fiance be himself, and the pictures came out so great! They are highly responsive as far as communication goes and prices are extremely reasonable for such high quality work. Highly highly recommend!

Hi - I'm Danielle. A wife. A mom to three wonderful children. A wedding photographer. I've been shooting weddings since 2010. 300++ weddings and counting. I love working with natural light, real moments, and images with energy and emotion. I would love the privilege of hearing your love story. If you'd like to inquire, please email or call to set up an interview.!

We booked Danielle for our engagement session and April 2024 wedding. Me and my husband aren't confident in front of the camera and at our engagement session, Danielle made us feel so comfortable. At that moment, we knew we made the right choice for our wedding day! Danielle was an integral part of our planning process - happily scheduling calls as needed to help us develop our timeline, narrow down locations for photos, and even providing us with a detailed timeline and checklists of things to bring for photos. On our wedding day, Danielle ensured that we remained on schedule with our timeline, capturing all the photos that we wanted and needed in a short timeframe. She made an effort to learn the names of our wedding party and family and provided everyone with guidance and feedback in a fun and engaging manner to make sure every photo turned out great! We recently got our sneak peeks back and were so thrilled with how they turned out. We're looking forward to seeing our full gallery soon! Danielle also provided a second shooter at no additional cost to us and he was absolutely fantastic as well! Chris handled getting ready photos of my husband and his groomsmen, making sure they stuck to the timeline, and getting them to where they needed to be - the hardest job of all. He was great to work with and captured beautiful images from different perspectives and angles that we wouldn't have gotten with just one photographer.

Photography, for me, is all about people. And I LOVE people. As a documentary photographer, I pay attention to the connections among people at events and make images that show the emotion, the connection, and the meaning of the moments I capture. But more than just loving photography, I've photographed hundreds of weddings over the years I've been in business and am constantly told by my clients how helpful, knowledgeable, and calming I am in moments that are new to my clients. And with a Masters in Photojournalism, I'm not new to this.

Chris is the consummate professional, he is so very talented on multiple levels, you absolutely can't go wrong, working with him. Call him today!

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

Paola Nazati Photography
Washington, DC

My interest in photography began at age 16 when my brother brought home a used Canon A1 from a pawn shop. My persistent attraction to the art of photography led me to the Savannah College of Art and Design where I received a BFA in Photography. I then ventured to Asheville, NC where I was surrounded by a creative community of artists and found a niche preserving timeless images of love-classics. Fast forward many years later, I now live in Washington D.C. which serves as my home base for my continuing adventures.

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed.

After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

We are so lucky that my wife happened to run into Nina shooting an event in our neighborhood. We browsed her Instagram and knew that she was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. She was kind enough to customize her services for our small wedding, coached us through poses, kept us calm and focused while still having a good time, and produced incredible pictures capturing all the important moments and emotions of our day. We're glad to have gotten to work with Nina on our wedding day and highly recommend Ivy & Quartz Photography!

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

We loved working with Darcy. It was so easy to be around her during our wedding, which was important to us as a couple who isn't the biggest fan of having our photos taken. She was super professional and took both portraits and joyful candid photos of us and all our guests. She and her team managed to get a candid, lovely photo of every single one of our guests without having to make us pose with them all night. We're an interracial couple and we were worried about having photos where only one of us was well lit. Darcy did a great job of making both of us, and all our guests of different backgrounds, look great. We love our photos!

I am a Documentary Wedding Photographer who captures Candid and Natural moments! I like to blend right into your day and clients describe me as calm, cool and personable. I take a variety of photos but make sure I’m not noticed while I move around. I see my purpose as preserving moments. My favorite feedback is that I captured moments that the couple didn’t see. Most importantly, I’m here for you! That might mean directing your family and keeping everything under control. My goal is to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

Awarded Best of Zola
We picked Konrad because his candid shots were absolutely outstanding. Neither one of us really cared too much about formal portraits, so we thought he'd be perfect. Little did we know how skilled he is at turning even boring staged photos into really beautiful shots. He kept us relaxed, directed us well, and was super efficient. We barely noticed him throughout the event as he snuck around taking pictures and the shots did not disappoint. Our friends remarked that he was truly all over the place, doing the work of multiple people. If you want someone who will respect what you're looking for and produce works of art for a reasonable price, Konrad is the way to go.

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse.

I highly, highly recommend Georgette with Lotus Photography. She is the sweetest, most joyful, gifted photographer and as an event planner and day-of wedding coordinator I genuinely love working with her. She is sweet, bubbly, kind, and incredibly talented. 11/10 recommend!!

She was a tremendous help guiding us through the process, both in location and in the poses themselves. We ended the experience in great spirits and with even greater pictures. In fact, we clicked so much with Megan that we hired her to photograph our actual wedding in New Hampshire, which took place December 2021. We loved working with Megan because she makes the experience feel fun, relaxed and natural. She captured our true essence - between loving, fun, goofy and serious. She also has a fantastic eye for truly eye-catching shots, as you'll see below. Last but not least, Megan's personality is a breath of fresh air. Personable, professional and kind.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first chatted with Justin, we knew we were in capable hands. His professionalism, creativity, and passion for capturing special moments were evident throughout the entire process. He’s just the best! Prior to our wedding day, Justin came to a walk-through at our venue and made us feel super comfortable before we even started taking photos. On our wedding day, Justin was more than just a photographer; he was a calming presence and a supportive friend. We did a small ceremony with just the two of us, our officiant and Justin - and he was the perfect addition to our day. He captured all of the details and moments that truly reflected the joy and love we felt. We aren’t exactly models so we weren’t sure how we’d do in front of the camera. Justin went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and genuinely have fun taking our pictures. From emotional to lighthearted, the photos we received exceeded our highest expectations. He managed to encapsulate our day in a way that we will cherish forever. He played an integral role in making our wedding day unforgettable. We cannot recommend him highly enough to any couple looking for an exceptional photographer who also happens to be a super cool and genuine person. Thank you, Justin, for making our day come to life in the most beautiful way possible. Your work is a gift we will treasure always.

We hired him as we noticed how, compared to the other photographers we were considering, his images evoked fun and a world of vivid colors, and above all, everyone in his photos looked HAPPY, which is a harder quality to find in professional wedding photos than you might think. Anyway, Justin did not disappoint! While a consummate professional, he was also incredibly fun to work with and was great at putting us at ease in order to get the best, most natural photos possible.

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously.

A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

Jessi is absolutely incredible! She is extremely talented, easy to work with and great with communication. From the start, she was beyond easy to talk to. My husband and I felt comfortable right away and that was very important to us. Your photographer is with you for our entire wedding day capturing all the moments and you need someone amazing, for us, Jessi understood the assignment. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Jessi (and her second shooter Barb) were a dream come true! She was not afraid to stand outside in the freezing cold extreme winds on the side of a mountain to get the best shots and on our day she was pumping us and our wedding party up, keeping us laughing and having a great time. Our wedding photos turned out gorgeous and we will cherish them forever!! Don't wait to book Jessi, we will be using her again for our next big moment and wish we hired her for our rehearsal dinner too. She is that good! Thank me later...

I’m Sarah, wedding + elopement photographer documenting true and heartfelt moments wherever your little heart desires. My husband, Ryan is my adventure-loving second photographer and ordained officiant (yep, he’ll marry you!). We are city-dwelling nature lovers who strongly believe in having a good time. We call Pennsylvania home but travel all over to photograph couples in love. When not behind the camera or working on the computer, we enjoy cocktails, coffee, cats, and hiking with our toddler, Brooklyn.

Sarah is phenomenal. It’s taken me two weeks to write a review because I just didn’t feel ready. She captured my husband and my personality and love so well, it shows in every picture from the sneak peek she gave us. She is a total pro and is absolutely worth every penny. She and Ryan had lots of experience with weddings at our venue, so I felt very comfortable letting her run the show. They both did a fantastic job with putting us, our wedding parties, and our families at ease while also being very efficient with time. Sarah was thinking ahead and planning the whole time, she thought of things that never occurred to me. I cannot recommend or praise Sarah enough, she is absolutely phenomenal.

Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

So where do I start?! Lead and his team are the most professional, passionate, skilled, and accommodating photographer/videographer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the most important day of our lives. They took so much time to incorporate everything we could want in our wedding photos and they even took the time to edit some multiple amazing videos with the footage. They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I'd recommend their work for any event you'd like to capture precious moment's in! They were worth more than every cent we spent! Again, thank you so so much Ledd and team. We will treasure these photos forever.

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

I was the venue manager on site for their wedding and Abby's professionalism, excitement, and willingness to navigate the obstacle of the day (the rain) was amazing.

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and I am so happy that you are considering including us to be a part of it. I commit to a limited number of Weddings per year to ensure that your day remains a priority. Photography is all about connection and your photographer will be one of the biggest and longest-lasting connections you’ll share with any of your wedding vendors. I strive to create beautiful portraits, but also a lasting relationship with my couples. When you book with us, you are not just a client, you become part of the JYP family! I am honored to have the opportunity to laugh…to cry…to share your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first part of wedding planning for us was finding the photographer because it was the most important to me (other than the man I was marrying). I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

I am so thankful that I found Nam’s photography business to capture our elopement ceremony. From the first consultation Nam was clearly excited to work with us and her passion for photography was readily apparent. She is very detail oriented and asked thoughtful questions leading up to the event which actually led us to do some additional planning to ensure that we would have pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you can’t tell by her website, Nam is so friendly and even though I am not comfortable in front of a camera, I felt completely at ease being photographed by her. We went into the shoot with zero ideas of what we wanted for photographs but that did not phase Nam, she came prepared with a lot of ideas and she did an amazing job directing us and making sure we got some unique and beautiful photos that really captured the beauty of our venue. I cannot recommend Nam enough - she made our elopement experience so special and in the end all of the photographs were absolutely stunning!

J is truly incredible to work with! He immediately made me feel comfortable and wasn’t “pushy” when I was deciding on photographers. We picked him because 1.) his photography is seriously amazing, and 2.) he is a genuinely wonderful guy, and I knew he would put me at ease throughout the day. His rates are also very reasonable and there are no “hidden” fees. I really liked that he was with us the ENTIRE day too! We just got our wedding photos back (SUPER FAST TURNAROUND) and I am completely in love! I don’t even have the words to describe how incredible they are. He captured so many moments that I didn’t even know happened, and now we have hundreds of photos of people laughing and crying throughout the day that I wouldn’t have ever seen if he wasn’t there! We wanted someone that was artistic and didn’t just take the “stereotypical” wedding photos, and he exceeded our expectations. He was very responsive throughout the entire process and took the time to thoroughly answer every single question I had. He was even helpful during the wedding day with things not entirely photographer related, like helping me find something I lost at one point and exuding a “chill” vibe that definitely calmed everyone down! My entire family adored him, and we are already thinking of new events in life that we will hire J for! I am SO thankful he was with us for our engagement photos and wedding day, and I cannot recommend him enough!

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, our experience with Lee was nothing short of amazing!!! When we first met Lee in 2019, he welcomed us into his studio with open arms and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. It quickly became apparent that Lee valued his relationship with us and that, for him, to truly capture the essence of our special day he wanted to understand our unique relationship. We shared a glass of delicious wine and talked for over an hour, reviewed some of his work, shared our vision of our wedding, and shared important details of our story together. My wife and I felt so comfortable with him, like we were already friends, and not just another client. I still remember the way I felt walking out of his studio that day. We knew right then and there that he was special and the right choice for us. Fast forward to 2020 and the world had suddenly and drastically changed. My wife and I were forced to postpone our wedding until the following year (November 2021). The experience was painful and frustrating, forcing us to make adjustments and sacrifices that were not part of our original plans. Throughout that entire time, Lee was there for us. He checked in on us, he invited us to hang out, he showed that he really cared. Lee went above and beyond for us for our engagement photos and traveled quite a long distance to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When we had a small "backyard BBQ" wedding in October 2020 for our official marriage (we didn't want to wait another year), out of the goodness of his heart, Lee volunteered to come shoot our day and help capture those precious moments with close family and bridal party. And, at long last, on our big wedding day in November 2021, Lee delivered amazing photographs and an unforgettable experience beyond our highest expectations! He brings extensive experience to the table and we were so impressed with how deftly he moved and how efficiently he operated throughout our wedding day. Lee is kind, funny, reliable, gentle, generous, polite, professional, fair, and he takes amazing photographs! Lee, thank you for choosing us and making our lives better and our wedding day the best it possibly could have been.

While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

My husband and I got married almost 7 months ago and the pictures for both our engagement session and our wedding were amazing. We loved working with Pix by Jay and would definitely use him again.
