Aimee Nguyen Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Alexandria, VA

I'm Aimee Nguyễn. I’m a sarcastic 28 year old who loves to travel, cook, and snuggle with her cat. I have been photographing all kinds of love since 2017. My main goal on your wedding day is to capture your love and day authentic to you while making you feel comfy and stress-free. I take a lot of my inspiration from dope cinematography and my couples. I want to create visual poetry that speaks to your heart and soul, celebrating all the joy and happiness that surrounds you on your wedding day. My albums are meant to speak to your heart, not just the highlights.

Words simply cannot describe how in AWE I am of these photos. Aside from exchanging vows getting pictures to capture our love and the love of all our closest friends and family was most important to me on our wedding day. My husband and I cannot stop looking them and cannot wait to share them with everyone we love. Not only did she artfully capture our personalities and love on this day but she also captured the love between our favorite humans on the dance floor that night. They aren’t just pictures but true pieces of art with gorgeous lighting, angles and details captured perfectly! 10/10 recommend to all!

Hi, I'm Sarah! My goal? To capture the moment so you can live in it and deliver photos that are timeless, personal, effortless, and entirely YOU. I’ve been photographing weddings for ten years, so I know how to provide you with a stress-free experience that culminates with you receiving an album full of beautiful, romantic, whimsical images that stop you in your tracks and transport you back in time. Your wedding day will go by in a beautiful, euphoric blur. I’m here so you can relive it in slow motion.

There is no greater joy as a wedding planner than to have a photographer who is on top of it when it comes to portrait time and keeping the morning running smoothly for the bride and groom! Working alongside Sarah to bring together Clemence and Thomas' wedding day was nothing short of amazing and her images were stunning! I highly recommend her to capture your beautiful day!

Finding the right wedding photographer is very important! Each of my clients (turn friends) are extremely special to me. We will find a time to grab a coffee and discuss what you envision for your wedding day, talk details, timeline, colors, and so much more! Together we will create photographic memories that will never be forgotten.

We used Rachel for our engagement photos and wedding, and she was a total pro! Not only are her photos absolutely stunning, but she is excellent at what she does. She helped keep the timeline of the day going and helped us with the finer details. She is very efficient while not sacrificing quality. She also helps you feel at ease with everything, which is super important on such a crazy day! We would definitely recommend her to anyone and you will be happy with your photos from her for years to come!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

Hi! I'm Carly. ​ I am a Northern Virginia based photographer who combines film and digital photography to create romantic and artistic images that will still be loved in 30 years. As a photographer and a girl who has been a bride herself, I know how important it is to hire someone you trust to document your wedding day. It's more than just an 8 hour day. It's personal. It's catching the in between moments and freezing them in photos...like his reaction when he sees you in your dress for the first time. If you are looking for a wedding photography experience that is full of value and attention to detail, you are in the right place!

Awarded Best of Zola
Professional, creative, and an absolute gem! Carly went out of her way to help my fiancé and I find a place to have our engagement photos when we were in the process of moving from out of state. She took the time to come to our private venue ahead of time to scope out spots for our wedding day photos. She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day and i love looking back at our photos. I highly recommend Carly!

I’m LINDSAY, the owner & main photographer of Lindsay Mack Photography. I am based out of Warrenton, Virginia. And I am bit of a sucker for real, authentic, passionate love. When I shoot your wedding, I want you to remember each moment, vividly. I want you to relive that first moment when your Dad saw you in your dress. I want you to feel the moment when the love of your life laid his eyes on you as you were approaching the aisle. The moment when the groomsman does a split on the dance floor? Yes, that too. ALL OF IT. I am here to serve you, to work along side you and to capture those once in a life time feels.

Lindsay is a true pro! She helped organize an 8 hour styled shoot for my new farm wedding venue and knocked it out of the park. She has a wonderful way of making everyone feel super comfortable, she seamlessly managed two different sets of brides/grooms, additional models, flower girls, hair/makeup scenes, ceremonies and receptions while capturing every aspect of my 40 acre farm in the process. I can't recommend her enough and she will be at the top of my preferred vendors list as one of the best photographers in the region!

Ladies and gents, wedding planning is stressful as heck... let me save you some grief, HIRE AKBAR. He captured photos I would not even have the creative imagination to request. Apart from the incredible level of skill that Akbar brings to his craft, his kindness and calming nature really plays a central role in making your wedding day better. Akbar went above and beyond, not only did he captured natural, timeless photos from the wedding... he worked with all of my vendors and family (edit: my crazy family) to ensure that everything went smoothly. After the wedding, many of my friends and family even noted to me that they noticed Akbar working tirelessly throughout the entire wedding to capture every special moment. If you want incredible photos and someone who genuinely wants you to enjoy your wedding day, hire Akbar. Best money you will spend on your wedding.

Their communication style was affective - they were attentive, responsive, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was elegant and classic, capturing all the special moments of our day in a beautiful and timeless way.

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

I've worked with this photographer a few times and each time it has been like a fairy-tale shoot. An ordinary couple, set in a scene to make heads turn as they walk by. It's truly a magical experience. And then getting the pictures back is a whole set of feelings. My shoots have been with my boyfriend and with each picture I recieved back, you could truly see the love and energy captured in time. Forever cherished memories.

Ashley Sara Photo is hands down the best choice you will ever make! She is not only the most incredibly talented photographer, but also the kindest soul. You will be in awe of her skills and want to be best friends with her all at the same time. She made our wedding day 1000x better and we had the best time exploring our venue with her while capturing the most beautiful memories. I look at my wedding pictures at least once per day because they are just that good. I am someone who hates photos of myself and does not enjoy being in front of a camera, and she somehow managed to give me literally hundreds of beautiful photos that I adore. She’s also a pretty awesome hype woman and will give you plenty of confidence boosts. We already have 1 year anniversary pictures scheduled with her and plan to use her for every other occasion we can because who doesn’t need more beautiful photos they love!? To sum this up, just hire her. I promise you will not regret it :)

I'm here for the relationships and memories that matter and to capture all of your real moments that make your life so amazing! Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

When I’m not photographing weddings, I am a rock climber, scuba diver, glass blower (#breablowsglass on instagram), ukulele, guitar, and guitarlele player, world traveler, and cat mom to Sherlock (sherlocknessmonster on instagram). During the winter, I teach a video class at the Sheffield Institute of the Recording Arts and I love having a positive impact on my students. Everything I love to do challenges me personally and makes me a stronger person. I feel the most alive when I feel connected to this beautiful planet and the people on it.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé mentioned offhand that he knew a really great wedding photographer before we were even engaged. I started following her on Instagram and went down a rabbit hole on her blog, and I was instantly obsessed with her. I could tell that we had a lot in common, and I immediately wanted to make her my friend in addition to being our photographer. Her talent simply blows me away. I love that her photos capture moments in time and really make you feel something when you look at them. They aren't overly posed, and that's what I really wanted for our wedding photography. We had such a good time doing our engagement photos. Brea is just fun and easy to talk to. She never makes you feel awkward or uncomfortable, and we were just able to relax and have a good time.....and it shows in our photos. We love them so much. She was also super helpful leading up to the wedding when I had random questions about veil lengths and vendor recommendations. Then she even fit us in right before the holidays to do a quick mini session with our dog for Christmas card photos. The day of the wedding, Brea was so much fun to be around while I was getting ready. My fiancé and brother had a great time hanging out with her second shooter, Jim, and Brea's mom was an absolute gem, helping out with family photos, holding my bouquet, and making sure I didn't get my dress dirty before the ceremony. They worked so well with our dog, too, who can get a little noisy! We got so many compliments from our guests about Brea’s whole team–how awesome Brea and Jim were and how wonderful Brea’s mom was running our photobooth (which was also a huge hit that we highly recommend!) Brea’s team stayed until our wedding ended at 10 PM, and she still sent us sneak peek photos that night!!! We got our full gallery yesterday, and the photos are amazing. We love every single one of them. I’m honestly not even sure how they got some of the shots they did–they truly were like silent ninjas during the ceremony–but every single one of the photos makes me smile. There are not enough words or space to express how awesome Brea and her team are. Just do yourself a favor and book her the next time you need a photographer, but especially for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

She’s professional, punctual and really makes you feel at ease when in front of the camera. She is so amazing at capturing candid moments (which I love). She also gets pictures to you so quickly.

We value diversity and are both proud HBCU graduates. -Jonathan & Alexis -

Professional, personable, and passionate best describe our experience working with Jonathan and Alexis. We used Burroughs Photography to take photos at our weddings and the photos for each event turned out beautifully - truly capturing the spirit of the events. Jonathan was very knowledgeable about how to best capture us in the different settings (considering lighting, weather, etc.) and guided us into poses for timeless photos that will hang in halls forever. He was also very kind and helpful in planning the perfect way to memorialize our favorite moments. Burroughs is a trusted photographer that we will be using again in the future.

I've been an avid photographer since 14, starting with a Nikon F3 film SLR from my grandparents. My passion led me to transform my hobby into a business after 13 years. I've collaborated with world-class photographers, remarkable clients, and exceptional vendors. What sets me apart is my personal connection with clients, making them feel comfortable. My storytelling approach captures genuine emotions and unique moments. With extensive experience, particularly in weddings, I bring technical expertise and artistic vision to every shoot. When you hire me, you're gaining a dedicated storyteller committed to high-quality, timeless photos.

By far the easiest, most involved and communicative vendor I’ve ever worked with. Nathan was my wedding photographer and was proactive from the start. He provided pose ideas, suggestions for a successful day, and tips and tricks he gathered from previous events. Fantastic price and will definitely hire him again to capture future life events

Greetings! I'm Nandy, a wedding photographer specializing in crafting Clean, Classic, and Timeless images for couples deeply immersed in their love story. Raised in a charming southern Indian town, my journey brought me to the United States in 2014, accompanied by my loving husband Vijay and our two precious boys.

Nandy did an INCREDIBLE job capturing our big day. She also took our engagement photos. She was not afraid to do what it took to get the shot. We LOVED our engagement photos! She went above and beyond on our wedding day. She provided a very detailed timeline, got there early and got straight to work. She made posing feel very natural in both our engagement photos and bridal portraits. We could not have asked for a better photographer to capture these special moments. We are forever grateful to Nandy for her hard work and her timeliness in getting us our photos back!

Your wedding celebration is one of the most important events of your life. Leah treats it with respect and care.

She will be there to help make your vision come to life. You can count on her to have your back and lend a hand in time of need.

Leah Marie Photography + Stationery is truly the BEST! Hire Leah if you are seeking a wedding photographer to capture those special moments as this is her beautiful gifting. She was suggested and we fell in love with her personality over the phone. She was radiant, joyful and exuberant. She traveled to North Georgia to photo and without us knowing, she even photographed our rehearsal. One of the qualities that makes Leah stand out above other photographers I've worked with, (I'm an actress and on set often) is her specialized eye on composition, lighting and movement in a photo and the way she makes everyone feel at ease. The photos she captured were published a week later in the magazine BEAUTIFUL. Our wedding was featured in a 7 page spread story about our celebration. The other huge selling factor about Leah is the softness she provides in the finished photo. It is a surreal, warm, quality filled with a love light that is consistent in all of the photos she prepped and sent to us. She delivers such emotional and epic photos. Our videographer was filming and you see Leah photographing us, not missing a moment and she complimented /coordinated with our wedding palette. It was incredible. My sister consistently said how she wished she had a fraction of the talent in her wedding photographer. Leah is a rare gift. You not only get a photographer but a friend and a joyful personality celebrating your special day with you. Didn't miss a moment, talented, professional, easy to work with and turned around photos within moments.

I have an absolute passion for capturing genuine moments and the magic of love that couples share when marrying the love of their life. I love capturing every detail, every special moment you share, stunning portraits of you and your partner-- All of it! My goal is to capture breathtaking photos that take you back in time when you see them in a storytelling & photo-journalistic way and in a vibrant & airy style. Images that will be treasured throughout the years, not only by you but the following generations to come.

Giuliana provided the flexibility I needed. Being a new mom and trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was more than insane. She was able to deal with my being bad at preplanning and need to change things up with little notice. I cannot express how appreciative I am of that! She’s very sweet and amazingly talented. My family was treated like people instead of clients and it made everything go so smoothly. Without her advice I would have been lost when it went to planning out the pictures. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!! Her prices are fair and she’s just an amazing person. Thank you for everything Giuliana! :)

Vintage film-inspired family, boudoir, & wedding photography for passionate, creative people. Located in Frederick, Maryland, available worldwide. Hi, I'm Leigh Anne! As a kid, I never imagined myself as a photographer. I always wanted to be a teacher, but I loved looking through my parents' shoeboxes full of prints and developed a passion for photography. Those vintage photographs inspired the editing style that I use today.

Leigh Anne captured our day exactly how we wanted to remember it; magical, beautiful and fun. Despite being camera-shy and perpetually self-conscious, she made posing feel natural and even made it FUN! She brings a fun and light-hearted energy to the room and made our experience with her a memorable one. Her work is gorgeous, her talent is unmatched and we can't wait to book her for our future photography needs! We will be forever recommending her to everyone we know.

Beautiful moments full of light and color! Whether you’re getting ready before your big day, having an intimate first look, or dancing the night away with family and friends, every moment of your wedding day is as beautiful as the next. I want to capture these special moments in their truest, most authentic, and most honest form. I’m based in Roanoke, Virginia, however, I love to travel and explore new places! I started my business in 2015, and since then have had the privilege of meeting the most amazing couples and capturing the incredible love they share!

Jared is a top-notch photographer with a keen eye for capturing joy. I came across Jared's photos and was immediately enamored by how bright and cheerful his style was, and after two engagement sessions and a wedding gallery, I can 100% attest to the high quality return on investment customers will receive from him. Our engagement and wedding photos really captured the essence of the spaces we were in, as well as the happiness and excitement for being engaged and getting married. Jared is easy-going and keeps his word on time scales. I recommend Jared to any couple considering beautiful, captivating photos they want to keep for their lifetime.

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

I dropped out of college to pursue photography back in 2014 and haven't looked back since. I'm an introvert at heart, but I come alive when I'm photographing what I love. I enjoy sipping coffee, exploring new places, board games, and creative projects.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

I am a Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, and Richmond Wedding and portrait photographer. I love bringing joy by serving others. I found that through this gift of photography, it’s a way to express the love I have for people and it’s truly an honor to capture those moments that are once in a lifetime. To me, photography is more than taking photos, it's being a supportive friend throughout your day. It’s a privilege to have your trust and it's not something I take lightly. When delivering your gallery, there's no words to describe how I feel knowing this is a piece of history for you and your loved ones

I had the great pleasure of working with Nancy when one of my couples hired her (I own a venue and provide planning/coordination services). She was extremely professional, while still be fun. She put the couple at ease which produced stellar photos. They had fun and laughed which made all the photos to look natural rather than staged. I work with photographers all over the state and beyond and I can truly say Nancy is a joy to work with and her images are stunning! You won’t be disappointed by hiring her to photograph your wedding or any important life events.
