Emie was friendly and fun to work with. Sometimes it's a little bit of a struggle to balance between the photographer and videographer, especially during the limited time we usually have allotted for the bridal party shoot; with Emie, this was extremely easy, and we got plenty of footage for our film. Even at a point in the day when we were getting footage of the bride and groom in the rain, we never felt too rushed. It was fun to share ideas and work with Emie throughout the day.

Emily and Dryden exceeded our expectations and we only knew them 10 days before the wedding day!

We didn’t give them much time to coordinate and plan the photo + video for the day with us and yet, they did it all so effortlessly—all while genuinely getting to know us as a couple. They made the day go smoothly with our day-of schedule, brought the fun with some music during photos and fun posing prompts, were professional and courteous towards us and our guests, and deliver quality AND quantity!

Hi! I am so happy you are here! Congrats on your engagement. I am Jordan, owner and photographer of Jordan Kate Photography, based in Amherst, Va. I fell in love with photography when I was young. I started by taking pictures of the beautiful mountains that make up my hometown, eventually, when I graduated high school, I ventured into photographing weddings. I absolutely LOVE every aspect of being a photographer. Whether that is meeting a bride for the first time or sending off a fully edited wedding gallery. I am HERE for it!

Jordan photographed our engagement session and our wedding in 2020. She was wonderful to work with during those events. We had no idea where to take engagement photos, but she gave several recommendations to help us choose from a list of places in our area with spectacular scenery. She gave us a check list for the day of the wedding, so it helped the entire process to run smoothly since we were prepared with the items to be photographed, a list of desired photos, and a timeline. Our engagement canvases and wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and well prepared photographer!

Joy Shots Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Serves Amherst, VA

My photography journey started in high school, photographing church and community events. From there it was natural transition to begin offering photo sessions to my friends and family, and so Joy Shots was born in 2014.I was privileged to shoot my first wedding for a friend in 2015 and I have since had the honor to photograph over 50 weddings. I love the chances I have to work with couples from their initial engagement session through their wedding day, through capturing their growing families down through the years. To me the people I get to connect with year after year with Joy Shots are more than customers, they are a part of a family.

We were thrilled with Erika and Joy Shots Photography! Erika's communication was clear, vibrant, and quick - she always responded promptly to any questions we had leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erika was professional, fun, and respectful. She made sure to capture all the special moments while keeping things light and moving smoothly. Erika was often there when we couldn't find our planner, stepping in to keep things on track. She really went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect and we got amazing photos to remember it by. The quality of Erika's work shows through in the vibrant, joyful photos she captured. She helped me with my veil and bustling my dress multiple times. She had my change of shoes when my feet began to hurt! She even let me borrow sunglasses for some super fun pics. We'd HIGHLY recommend Joy Shots Photography for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to beautifully photograph their special memories. She was the best vendor we hired at our wedding, by far.

Kanded LLC 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Amherst, VA

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

I recently had an engagement session done with Kanded, and it was everything I could have asked for! I had a very specific vision in mind, and Kiersten and Enrique nailed it. From helping pick a location, doing camera tricks to help achieve the look I wanted (think dreamy vintage fairytale)- they were so helpful and attentive every step of the way! An added bonus is that you’re getting two photographers for the price of one, so you can’t go wrong booking with them :)

Tori Parker Photography 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Amherst, VA

Although Tori lives on the east coast, her art & lifestyle is largely inspired by the west coast. Tori grew up just outside Los Angeles and her art reflects the airy, relaxed and purposeful atmosphere that exists in the Golden State. The Tori Parker team intends for their photos to reflect a similar air: relaxed but with a powerful undertone of golden hour hues and genuine joy. When Tori isn't taking photos or managing her amazing team of associate photoghers, she enjoys intentional time with Jesus, watching New Girl with her husband, being outdoors with her dogs, and eating the spiciest thing on the menu.

We really enjoyed working with Tori, Claire, and Brooke! Tori coordinated our photographers and edited our photos, Claire was our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding day, and Brooke was our second shooter for our wedding. The editing of our photos was done beautifully and working with Tori regarding the plan for our wedding made us very comfortable. Additionally, she got photos back to us very quickly! Claire was great to work with, she made us feel very comfortable during shoots and did a great job posing two people who are very uncomfortable in photos! The wedding party and family photos were also lovely and went very smoothly. They were very easy to work with and captured the event without distracting from it at all which was awesome.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Booking Alli as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made wedding planning!! From creating a fully comprehensive timeline of the day, putting together a collage of Pinterest inspiration photos to know exactly what we wanted, scouting out photo locations at our venue the day before the wedding, making everyone feel comfortable and confident on the day of, and truly just working with efficiency, skill, and professionalism. Alli and Josh truly went above and beyond and we are so grateful for them!! Our friends, family, bridal party and everyone involved agreed that the Mannixco was the best overall photographer that any of us have ever worked with! One of our groomsmen said, “a lot of people with a good camera can take a good photo, but not everyone can be a great photographer like Alli”!! If you want beautiful wedding photos and a photographer who knows what they’re doing but feels like a friend at your wedding, I 100% would recommend the Mannixco to anyone!!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

They were always on time and made sure to put us at ease throughout the entire process.

Abby and her team provided and exception service to our bride and groom who were married at our venue. Her photography was beautiful - capturing non posed special moments as well as posed beautiful and fun shots of our couple. Abby had to think out of the box when a rain storm hit mid wedding - and her reassurance and creativity with pics instantly reduced any possible stress for the couple - the photos were exceptional irrespective of weather! We hope to have her back soon and highly recommend using her for your wedding - you will not be disappointed!
