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.

My fiancé and I have worked with Yelitza twice and both experiences have been fantastic! She has made us both feel extremely comfortable both times and had great communication with us both times. During our first session she photographed us with our 6-month-old puppy who is very energetic she was very patient with him and was able to get great group shots of all of us. Our latest photography session was a rooftop city session and the photos came out absolutely amazing again! I would highly recommend Yelitza!

Imagine this: an evening just for the two of you, where you can finally slow down and simply *be* with each other. No distractions, no stress—just the warmth of your partner’s hand in yours, the quiet laughter you share, and that feeling of being completely seen and loved. That’s exactly what I want to capture for you. When you look at your photos, I want you to hear the songs that mean the most to you, the ones that play in the background of your story.

Jessica was our photographer for our wedding. It may have been a micro wedding but our pictures were grand! Jessica captured details that I could never thank her enough for. She listened to what my thoughts were and collaborated with her own vision which resulted in the most beautiful photographs! I will always recommend her to anyone and everyone!

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! :)

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.

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recommend Nicole Thomas to be your wedding photographer with utmost enthusiasm. I have heard from a friend that Nicole has many years of experience and this wedding photography experience and is the best of the best, both in terms of the quality of her pictures and her personality. Her work really stood out from other photographers, and “told a story.” Both the amazing quality of her work and her willingness to work with me and my husband on the day of our wedding back in February 2022, made her an easy choice for us to be our wedding photographer. Nicole’s portfolio is unique from the others, and you can witness her dedication and respect for work. I am very grateful for her to capture those memories forever so me and my husband can look back on that day and cherish these moments.

I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11 years, but I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil – and I’ve been in love with stories just as long. Of all the ways to create a life around storytelling and art, I’m so glad to have found this one: weddings are filled with stories both intimate and profound, and with elements of beauty that delight the artist in me. I love the challenge of seeking, finding and capturing the beauty I see, and telling your story as I see it unfolding before me.

The first thing people mention about our wedding is how beautiful the pictures turned out. I was specifically looking for a candid-style photographer whose exposure remained consistent & correct throughout the night, and Ayesha delivered more than I could have hoped for. She was polite, professional, and so fast! Not only was her turnaround time short, but she practically managed to be in two places at once to capture every perfect shot. We are so grateful that we got the chance to work with her, and look forward to hiring her again for our next special occasion.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy to have hired Angelica and her team. From the start she listened to what we needed, catered to our vision for our wedding photos, and delivered breathtaking images. Any questions we had she answered, so it was great to have quick communication with her, as most of our vendors took almost a week to get back to us! We go through our photos all the time, and I can honestly say our wedding photos are so much better than my friend's photos! We also had a full album and parent albums in our collection. Our main album came in a gorgeous wooden box. Our parent's album were custom created for them, instead of a replica. We even got a few large photos to decorate our home. They are absolutely gorgeous! We were very happy we did purchase them and Angelica delivered them within two to three months from our wedding! Thanks to her always following up with us, we were able to get our albums designed, our wall art photos chosen, and helped us guide our parents as to what photos to choose for their albums. I have friends still waiting for their albums and photos and it's been almost a year. You can't go wrong with Angelica Criscuolo Photography. She's sweet, a professional, and when it came time to family photos, she was the boss and took charged! We loved it as we have a very boisterous family. Thank you Angelica!
