PAPERBOYS 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,995
  • Serves Alexandria, VA

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Hiring Nate with the Paperboys team might have been the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I are (very picky) creatives by nature and trade so we knew that we wanted to be very intentional about our choice of photographer for our special day. Our venue was a historic hotel that requires you to work with one of their select partners, something we initially were a little hesitant about due to its inherent limitations. Most partners listed had very technically beautiful photos but nothing that excited us creatively. Until we saw their most recent partner addition: Paperboys. We loved the playfulness, talent, and imagination that was deeply valued with the team and quickly connected with our photographer Nate both creatively and socially. It was apparent that he truly loved his craft and was easy to communicate our vision with, always making sure to ask helpful questions and take the time to study our provided resource materials. Without prompting or extra charge, he also opted to bring his own film camera to snap some artsy film shots on the actual day, an above and beyond move that shows how much he genuinely just loves what he does. The finished photos absolutely exceeded expectations. His signature style we loved shone through while also managing to capture the exact essence of what we were hoping for stylistically. And as someone who specifically struggles with body confidence and anxiety, he was able to make me feel safe by providing a calm presence and plenty of posing guidance. This allowed me to truly just exist and enjoy the day, which is something I genuinely wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to manage, and therefore the most wonderful gift in and of itself. TLDR: Just hire Paperboys already and thank me later! You’re welcome.

Wild Elegance 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Alexandria, VA

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Elizabeth Russell Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Alexandria, VA

I began my photography career over 15 years ago as a photographer for a Natural History Museum. There I learned to be versatile and to shoot anything from galleries, portraits, events to fossils and fieldwork. Just like the museum, weddings also call for a versatile photographer to catch great details, ceremony and reception spaces, portraits and events. But with my wedding photography, I push for more. Inspired by photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, I follow the light and seek decisive moments—emotion and reactions.

Liz photographed our wedding this spring and we’re absolutely obsessed with the photos. She captured so many sweet organic moments of our love and with our guests, and she has such a great eye for color. Our wedding was bright and colorful out in nature, and everything just pops so well in the photos while still looking really natural. Liz was so kind and helpful and easy to work with the whole time. Highly recommend working with her for your wedding!

  • Serves Alexandria, VA

Like some it started with a little camera originally to capture our children as they went on field trips, vacations, and other documentations of life. I quickly began venturing into photographing other families and children. A very good friend of mine invited me to shoot her wedding. This was something I haven't quite thought about doing but was super excited for the Opportunity since I was exploring my different options at the time. When I tell you I fell in love! I really did! I mean that would be such an understatement!! I knew at that point that becoming a Wedding Photographer was what I'd be.

I loved my experience working with Elle and her team. They made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. The final product came out beautiful and I’m so glad we have these beautiful photos to help us remember such a big day in our lives. I appreciate all that they did for us and for being so patient, kind and timely.

Wendy Hickok Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Alexandria, VA

We love working with smart, light hearted, fun, and easy going people. Searching out natural light wherever possible we take an energetic and vibrant approach to photography. We stay true to who we are by maintaining a creative vision throughout your wedding day.

Our wedding day was made special by so many vendors, but Wendy Hickok Photography pushed our wedding above and beyond our expectations. We used Wendy for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and in each case she was incredibly flexible and her work was amazing. She allowed us to postpone our engagement photos until the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Washington, DC, which is very hard to plan for! She braved frigid temperatures with us that day, but our engagement photos turned out amazing! To plan for our wedding photos, she came to our vineyard venue a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure she knew what we wanted in our pictures, and made sure to fully execute that dream the day of our wedding. To this day, I still get compliments on our wedding and engagement photos as they turned out beautifully. Without hesitation, I give Wendy Hickok Photography 5 stars, and I imagine we will be using her services for photographing other life events in the future.

Amy Jennings Photography Videography captures your special moments and make memories come alive everytime you look at a picture. Personally & Professionally I believe in inclusion and equality to all.

From the first night we talked with Amy about our engagement photos, wedding vision and desires for timeless and clean pictures and videography, both Amy and Scott exceeded our expectations. Looking back on our wedding day, Amy and Scott were so much more than our photographer and videographer. They captured our day beautifully and worked seamlessly with our additional vendors to make the day perfect. Amy also came to our rehearsal dinner to further help in the organization which was amazing. The quality of the work that Amy and Scott Jennings produce is a reflection of the kind and wonderful people that they are.

Since 2010, Aaron Jay Photography has worked with dozens of families, couples and events. Aaron Jay Photography has always been a people-pleaser. We love photography because we get to see people smile, laugh and be joyful. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than the look on a mother’s face as she sees the pictures he has taken of her children, or the look on a father’s face when he sees the pictures of his daughter on her wedding day. Aaron Jay Photography gets great satisfaction in knowing those moments we captured through a lens will be cherished forever.

We got married in the middle of a pandemic, via Zoom. Though none of our family or friends could be here, Aaron was able to come over and photograph us from a safe distance in our backyard. The pictures are absolutely amazing- better than anything I could have expected, even for a “normal” wedding. We love Aaron.

Having your memories documented is truly one of the most important things. When we look back on our lives we are the sum of our experiences and being able to share that journey with your present and future family is such a gift.

I found Vicki on Instagram quite a while ago. I can’t recall how I stumbled across her page… but man am I so glad I did. As soon as I saw her work I knew she had to be my photographer. I didn’t care the distance or cost - her photos were that stunning and that different - I absolutely needed her. We had a virtual meet and greet and we just clicked from the start. She got my vibe. And I’d like to think we fit her vibe! Little fact not many people know, we picked our wedding date based on Vicki’s availability! We quickly booked her and scheduled our engagement shoot. She traveled all the way from Lebanon PA to asbury park NJ for this shoot! We had such a fun time with Vicki, she made us comfortable and let us act like ourselves. The photos we got back were gorgeous yet moody - just what I was looking for. She nailed. Fast forward to the wedding, her and her assistant were phenomenal. I trusted vicki so much based on what I’ve seen her do, that I gave her absolutely no direction. She took the wheel and did her thing. She even went out of her way and captured moments of our children that were just so incredible. Literally the cutest thing you will ever see. Everything she did, everything she took were beyond my expectations. The look and feel of my photos is so unique, no other photographer can successfully do what she does. I wish Vicki lived closer so we can use her for all our little milestones! We may have to travel to her for something in the future! Vicki was everything and gave us something unique to look at to always remember our day. Photos are your memories, theyre something you will have forever. You want a master of their craft to be there on your big day. Vicki was that. Snatch her up quick. You won’t regret it! Thank you vicki!

We fell in love at the young age of 18 & have been spending 24/7 together since. Our favorite days are when we can adventure to a new city or road-trip to a different state. We like to wander & try new coffee shops & cool restaurants. We like cuddling & watching tv on lazy days. Our style is definitely retro with lots of cozy & casual & little minimal. Our favorite weddings are the ones that are a little laid back & intimate with sentimental moments.

We believe being present on your wedding day will bring out the best in you and your partner. Giving an authentic and fun experience while having a timeless and editorial look.

Sebastian took our wedding photos and I'm in love with them! Me and my husband are not typically in front of a camera and unsure of how to pose, Sebastian helped us feel so so comfortable and gave us direction and different poses so there was more variety than just the one typical pose. He was so sweet and patient when it came to our families, he also speaks fluent Spanish and English which was perfect for our American/Peruvian wedding (my parents don't speak Spanish and my husband's parents don't speak English.) Not only was his personality off the charts, his photography skills were also outstanding. He caught the sweetest moments between my husband and I as well as with our families. He captured details of the wedding that I would probably forget if we didn't have pictures (table settings, my nails, decorations etc) and the quality was stunning. We couldn't be more grateful for Sebastian as a person and as a photographer, look no further cause he's the whole package!!

Hey! I'm Valerie. I spend most of my weekends as a creative Virginia wedding photographer, but I also shoot a ton of documentary lifestyle portraits and spend the weekdays photographing small-business marketing content for clients throughout Virginia and DC. I believe in honest portraiture, which basically means capturing YOU, your family, or your business in ways that legitimately feel real. I always want people to feel like they know you when they see an image. Forget the stereotypes of what it's supposed to be. Let's just make real images with real smiles in real situations in real places that matter.

We loved having Valerie as our wedding photographer. Multiple people commented on how quick she was and we loved our photos. Valerie was communicative and professional. We could not recommend her more!

We are Victoria & Hunter, a married photography & videography duo. Our style is simple and organic, capturing your real emotions & personalities in artful imagery. We currently call Maryland home and love traveling across states, borders, & seas to tell your story. We believe that life is best enjoyed with others, so drop us a line and let’s be friends! *Please contact us directly through our website.

I've grown up in the wedding industry, spending over 20 years learning the ins and outs. Victoria is the absolute most empathetic, kind, thoughtful person I've met in the wedding industry and quite possibly on this earth. From the beginning, she was helpful, sincere, and hysterical as we planned out our engagement shoot and wedding logistics. Whether it a package of homemade soap or inspiration emails, she was a more personalized and wonderful version of Pinterest. When it came to our wedding day, she was able to navigate my large, blended family, nail every shot IN THE RAIN, all the while telling corny jokes, and dancing the night away. I truly felt like I had an old friend with me throughout the entire experience. Her second shooter, Hunter, is her photography (and real life! ) soulmate. As a married couple, they work so incredibly well together and are able to capture the most beautiful moments. Hunter was amazing with the groomsmen, making everyone feel comfortable and natural. Plus, he has great taste in music! Victoria sent our entire wedding pictures, completely edited, in record time. She knows how to capture and highlight every moment genuinely. Finally, a few months after our wedding, my younger brother passed away. Victoria dug up some old photos of him and sent them our way. I've never met anyone as thoughtful as her, truly. This was the easiest and best decision of my wedding planning. Forever thankful for you, Victoria!

Hi, congrats on your engagement! I'm Amanda, a Virginia Wedding Photographer that specializes in capturing photographs that will make you feel. Photos that will take you back to a moment, a memory, or a feeling from one of the most important days of your lives! Consider me both a fly on the wall and a professional hype man!

When you book with Amanda, you're guaranteeing more than just quality photography. After our engagement session, we knew that Amanda was the only person to properly – and exquisitely – capture our wedding events. From story boarding and Pinterest sharing to event planning and logistics behind the execution, Amanda didn't shy away from any of our non-traditional or creative ideas. In fact, she embraced them. Amanda and her team were timely, eager, present while also anticipating every need (from a photography standpoint and more). They felt more like guests than vendors in the best way. She worked seamlessly with other vendors for a fun, collaborative event. We had very specific wants for our photography, but wanted to give her room to be creative – and she delivered. Despite photography being one of our priorities for our events, she also recognized when it was time to let us be present and in the moment. Many photographers can deliver stunning photos and capture timeless moments, few can reach their full creative potential in the moment and establish the trust couples need the way Amanda can. After our wedding, Amanda is not-only our most highly recommended photographer, but she's a friend and fellow creative professional. We are so thankful for her and we'll cherish these moments forever.

Hi guys! I'm Sarah. I'm a fine art wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the DC area. My specialty is documenting your day in an authentic, beautiful and timeless style. I'm driven and inspired by light, nature and connection.

We were lucky enough to stumble upon Nova Soul when we were looking to do our engagement photos. Sarah was absolutely amazing and gave us the engagement photos of our dreams. When we unexpectedly had to cancel our destination wedding, because of the pandemic, Sarah was my first email. We were thrilled she was available to photograph our elopement ceremony. We had high expectations, because we already knew how amazing she was, but she absolutely blew it out of the water. She was able to capture the emotions, love, and all the beauty of our small intimate ceremony with our immediate families. Not only are the photos gorgeous, but Sarah herself is so kind, and easy to work with. I had never had professional photos done, she made me laugh and feel so comfortable. I don’t think I can properly explain how highly I recommend her!

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

Hannah and her team were OUTSTANDING!! Every step of the process Hannah went above and beyond and really made me feel important and my ideas heard. She was always there and willing to jump in to help with anything and ease my stress on the wedding day. She was extra prepared for whatever and super professional yet down to earth and approachable. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease when taking the photos which really helps make them look and feel very genuine and not stiff and posed. When it came time to delivering the finished gallery we were blown away at just how many STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS photos she had captured and how fast she did it! We couldn’t have been more pleased. She was such a tremendous blessing and we were so so grateful she was a part of our special day. If you are on the fence about what photographer to hire, don’t hesitate any longer, she is the best and you will not regret choosing her and her talents!

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.

Based in Maryland, capture love story worldwide. We work to keep your timeless, intimate, lifetime, romantic, meaningful moments FOREVER. Limited amount of weddings each year so I can get to know you better and create the highest quality of work.

I was so stressed since we started preparing our wedding. Once we booked with Aira, she’s always there for me. She answered questions and provided great ideas. We were running late on our weddings, I was so worried, but Aira kept on telling me that how great we were and she captured everything I wanted. My husband and I were crying when we were watching the slideshow. All the feelings came back at that moment! Can’t thank her more!

My approach is simple – I love to capture love, and I want to provide you with imagery that you will cherish forever. I strive to create images that are classically beautiful and romantic so that they will withstand the test of time. My work has been described as colorful, emotional, authentic, and light-filled. I want to get to know you, as connecting with my clients, learning about their personalities, and how they interact with one another translates into the imagery I create so that I am able to capture those genuine moments.
