Hey! It's me- your friendly neighborhood photographer! I am a Pisces. They say we're romantic and creative souls, so I guess it was written in the stars that I'd become this person. If you're into enneagrams, I am a 4- but this is new territory for me so I am not sure how I feel about that yet. They say I am good at this photography stuff and people seem to like me, so here I am!

Celeste was so easy and fun to work with we absolutely love our wedding pictures and I did a private personal shoot as well and had an amazing time she was serious and her job while having an amazing time keeping me smiling and laughing. Will for sure book again!!

Hi, its Jessica, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Virginia. My clients are so special that they find themselves a friend for a lifetime, not just another wedding vendor. I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

Jessica is AMAZING, we hired her for our wedding and also did the engagement pictures with her. I am brazilian and since she is also I thought maybe my now husband would be a little uncomfortable taking the pictures but no way, not with Jessica, the way she makes everything seems so smooth and simple makes you think you are spending a good afternoon with a friend! And her work is definitely THE BEST! On my wedding day she managed to speak both languages with my family and my guests and took so much amazing pictures that now is hard to choose! Everyone loved her job and she sent the pictures so fast that I was really impressed! From now one my dates for events with pictures will depend on her agenda. I can’t wait for the next sessions of her capturing our love!

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.

This was my first time working with Yalford Photography and I was impressed by the detail of her timeline. We worked together to make sure everything coincided and made any adjustments as needed. On the day of the clients wedding we all worked together as a team to give the couple the best day. The photos are beautiful. Consider Yalford you won't regret it !

Not only was she incredibly professional but she also made sure we felt heard and seen on a personal level. We know how important your wedding day is and she made sure she was a lending hand in so many other ways. We couldn't recommend her enough because she truly just captured our day to the best of it's ability.

Hi there. I originally hail from Georgia, but am so happy to now call Charlottesville my home. When I'm not chasing down perfect sunlight, you can usually find me tucked away somewhere with a book, writing, enjoying life with my partner Charles, styling my 1920s home, or snuggling with my Frenchie pup, Finny.

Awarded Best of Zola
Audra Jones was, to put it simply, the perfect person to photograph our wedding. We knew what we wanted - a small, intimate gathering of our closest friends and family, full of life and personality, but none of the hassle weddings are usually known for. But finding a photographer who could capture that feeling seemed like a challenge - until we met Audra. She didn't just capture the most important moments of our big day, she felt like part of them. She was incredibly professional and courteous throughout the entire event, nimbly bouncing around the ceremony to capture the perfect pictures without obstructing anyone's view. And when it came time for the real party to begin, she effortlessly blended into the crowd as they danced the night away during the reception. Her secret? She danced right alongside our guests! We received so many compliments from friends and family alike, praising Audra's ability to make them feel comfortable as she snapped their photos. Audra was a joy to work with in every aspect of planning our wedding. She had a vision but was always willing to collaborate, she was well organized but never strict, and she was so quick to get finished photos back to us, without sacrificing quality. If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, we can't recommend Audra Jones Photography enough!

NO RULES. JUST FUN. Wedding days are awesome. There’s you, the rad couple who has decided to take the big leap. And there’s the cake, the vows, the friends and family, the toasts and all the love. (Did I mention cake?) Even though weddings can be awesome, they can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With Awesomesauce Photography, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing. I want you to actually enjoy partying with your friends and eat the awesome meal you have meticulously chosen, not spend it taking portraits for hours. With me, there are no rules. Just fun.

From the moment we reached out, Linda was a dream to work with. She was honest, upfront, and clear about pricing and packages, and worked with us to create the right timeline for our wedding day. She was also incredibly warm and kind throughout. We initially chose Linda because we loved her portfolio of more candid, natural, and photojournalistic/documentary-style images. She brought that same vision to our wedding day, and captured incredible moments for us. During the day, she helped make sure everyone was where they needed to be. She felt like a part of our wedding party. She carried around heavy equipment on a very hot Virginia day in September, and it was very appreciated. She got every shot we had asked for in advance and suggested a few on the fly that became some of our favorites. She got us the photos back in a very timely manner, and it was easy to download and share them with friends and family. We would highly suggest working with Linda for any event and would love to work with her again if we have the opportunity. Working with Linda was a highlight of our wedding process.

I'm Sarandon (pronounced SU-RAN-DIN). I'm an artist and photographer in Baltimore, Maryland where I live with my husband, our daughter, and our Australian Shepherd pup. I have an affinity for houseplants, terrible movies, good whiskey, and dinner parties. On days off I like hunting for my next favorite bakery, perusing a museum, or gathering friends for dinner and cocktails.

Sarandon is a talented, professional, and easy to work with. Personally, as someone who hates getting their photos taken, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in front of the camera that Sarandon was working with. She made both my husband and I feel at ease, comfortable in front of the camera, and stress free on our big day. The photographs came out beautifully and on time. I would highly recommend Sarandon for your next wedding. :)

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!

Washington, DC

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Can't recommend Sam enough. Not only is his work some of the best I've seen and is well known around the world, but he is also just super chill to work with. He lets videographers do their thing and is very easy going with the couples and vendors he works with.

At the heart of my process, I believe in being a calming presence who gives you room to be the most genuine version of yourself in front of my camera, gently guiding you with prompts while capturing sophisticated portraits and true moments. As a bride, you know how fleeting the moments of your wedding day will pass you by. So rather than worrying if you’re missing any of it you value being present, and will hire a photographer who will allow you to do just that. This trust grants you the ability to live in the moment while we’re documenting them for you telling the story of your relationships with a gentle authenticity.

My husband and I got married in December 2022 and realized a bit last-minute that we needed a Rehearsal Dinner photographer! Amanda was so accommodating and scheduled a conversation before the big weekend to go over all of our photo dreams and logistics. Not only is Amanda warm, kind, and easy to work with, her photos are absolutely stunning! Her work is light and airy with an incredibly timeless feel. With all the excitement and nerves of wedding weekend, Amanda was the calming presence we needed before our Rehearsal! We loved her photos so much, that we scheduled a Christmas card/one-year wedding anniversary photoshoot with her one year later in November 2023, with two large pups in tow! We give our highest recommendation for Amanda and her work and we are so lucky to call her our new family photographer!

It is so nice to have you here! I am a Charlottesville Washington DC and Virginia Wedding Photographer who creates artful film-inspired imagery with a combination of timeless editorial and hybrid candid photography that recreates tangible memories of what matters most: you and your authentic love story. With a passion for wanderlust and most importantly my family, I know that life's most cherished moments are fleeting. It's an honor to create emotional love-story centered heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.

Primarily, I am there as your wedding photographer to ensure that--although your memory will fade with time--these photographs serve as vivid reminders of the joy in the season and the relationships that matter most.

RICARDO IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER AND RUNS THE BUSINESS AND MAKES SURE EVERYTHING GOES AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

My name is Amanda, I'm a photographer and I absolutely love to connect with new people as well as learn their stories. I'm someone who would rather learn all about you, and get to know you on a deeper level. I'm originally from Cuba, I was born there, and by the age of 5, my parents and I moved to Mexico. I lived in Mexico for 7 years only to find out I was unhappy living there! In 2008, my mom, grandma, and I moved to Connecticut, and I began a whole new chapter in my life! I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and everything will eventually fall into place with just a little bit of hope and optimism!

Amanda is the best! She is professional, takes amazing photos and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took all the ‘inspo’ photos I wanted, made suggestions for more, and used her expertise to help make the photos even better. She worked well with all of the other vendors we had hired for our wedding and was also worked perfectly with my friends and family (they all thought she was fabulous too)! I’m so grateful she was our photographer and all of the photos have exceeded my expectations!

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.

Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

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.

Our wedding photos were so beautiful and we are so thankful to have them to cherish for the rest of our lives. The day was so easy going and every perfect moment was captured. A huge thank you to Elle Rose Artistry for helping make our special day the most it could be.

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.

Cat of SilverFire Photography has mastered her craft. She truly has an eye for photography and an artistry for capturing beautiful moments. We can’t stress how EASY and fun it was to work with her. Even after we spoke with her via zoom on our initial scouting phase for a photographer - my now husband and I instantly knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. She just has this genuine attitude towards things that is so infectious! We have lost count of the number of times people have said during and after our wedding how much they loved our photographer. We really appreciate how intuitive she is and her direction for poses was incredibly natural and endearing. She knows how to take the beautiful posed-photos as well as the candid b-rolls. We also booked the photo booth package and our guests loved it so much! It was such an honor to have her photograph our wedding. We also are thankful for her second shooter Jonathan who assisted in everything! The photos she gave were so beautiful. We were speechless and over the moon at these priceless forever moments she was able to capture. Seriously, you won’t regret having Cat/Silverfire be your official photographer. We’re beyond grateful, thank you for doing what you do. We wish you more success and you’ve made Alex and I forever happy with these photos, Cat!

I want my couples to make memories with their people, and I am there to capture them!

Awarded Best of Zola
We originally hired Corrin as our wedding photographer because we knew each other growing up and in addition to being incredibly talented at what she does, she’s just the kind of person you love to be around. Two days before our wedding, we found out a tropical storm was going to flood our venue (The Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk) and we were told we had to find a new place to get married. Absolutely devastated, I called Corrin and asked if she would be willing to meet us there the day before the storm to try to get at least the first look photos we had spent the last year and a half dreaming about. Without hesitation, she said “of course!” and showed up with a smile on her face and spent two hours taking the most beautiful, meaningful photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Because that’s just the kind of person she is: selfless and compassionate and completely dedicated to her couples. Corrin understood the vision we were going for and not only executed it perfectly at our original venue for our portraits, but also the next day at the new venue having just found out about it two days prior! She goes the extra mile with everything that she does and it shows, not only in her work, but also in how you feel during the most chaotic but exciting day of your life. We are sooo thankful for Corrin and would hire her a million times over!

Josh was able to photograph our small intimate wedding by Lake Anna, Virginia. His knowledge went above and beyond photography. In our pre-wedding meeting he was detail oriented and helped us iron out our schedule (we planned the wedding ourselves and we barely knew what we were doing). When I was getting ready for the ceremony and none of my sisters knew how to put the veil on, Josh was the one who put it on and had bobby pins handy to secure it in place. He made us feel so at ease when it came to posing and came up with creative ideas that included us in a canoe on the lake! My husband and I now have amazing pictures that capture the best memory of our lives. Thank you Josh!

I am a Wedding, Portrait, and Event Photographer. I’m based out of Northern Virginia, but I enjoy traveling to Virginia Beach and other destinations. I’m a Mermaid at heart, so naturally, my favorite place to be is by the sea. I am married to my best friend, Michael, and we have 2 pups named Lily Mae & Sir Chance. I have the biggest heart for the ocean and all of its living things! My favorite aquatic animals are sharks! I would love to add that I am a Shark Photographer on top of being a Wedding & Portrait photographer. I am the Founder of The Mermaid Series Blog.

Sitting here obsessing over all of the photos that Kristin has taken throughout my wedding journey! I don't know where to start because she is just absolutely wonderful! She offered an amazing wedding package so she did our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, rehearsal, and our wedding day! My husband and I are not fond of getting our picture taken, but Kristin made us feel so relaxed and comfortable and walked us through every step and pose! We have been amazed by everything she has done that even our sneak peeks gallery from the wedding day is blowing our minds! We're like, wait, there's more?! YES! We can't wait! Kristin's husband even brought his drone and got some amazing aerial shots after our ceremony, then during the reception, Kristin was on the dance floor getting every shot possible! I am so excited to see the final results! Highly recommend!

I am passionate about capturing each couples unique story and their one-of-a-kind love. We are a husband and wife team plus our best man! When Jeremiah and I got engaged and started planning our wedding, the search for a photographer & videographer was a grueling tasks. I kept saying, “If ONLY Jeremiah & En could capture our wedding,” but that was totally unfeasible be as one is the groom & the other the best man. Then the light bulb went off & Til Death Media was born!

I will forever recommend Till Death Media! Kira helped me out of a bind when my photographer backed out less than 2 weeks before my wedding. Even though TDM wasn't able to photograph my wedding on such short notice, Kira spent hours searching for and interviewing local photographers on our behalf, eventually finding someone who was both a perfect match and well within our budget. Kira helped us edit and finalize our itinerary, organize which photographs we wanted taken, and even helped us pinpoint exactly what kind of editing style we wanted done - all things that I should've had sorted out with my previous photographer, but I was unaware of due to poor communication. When she stepped in, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I don't think I could've been happier with our wedding or our photographer. :) I 100% recommend Kira and TDM!

Ashley Cox Photography is a professional wedding photography studio based in Virginia. Ashley has an eye for beauty in every moment of your wedding day, and preserves it with an artistic touch. She has worked as a wedding photographer for many years, providing exceptional service and stunning collection for each couple. Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

I'm a film photographer based in Virginia, who travels the world capturing couples unique stories on film. I'm always ready to travel & continually inspired by my clients & the stunning locations I’m grateful to explore each year. When not working or traveling, you'll find me spending quality time with my husband & our rescued Australian shepherd mix named Bear. Obsessed with stonewashed linen, puppies & minimal design, my ideal evening is a relaxed alfresco dinner with friends at a farm table overflowing with wine bottles and lots of laughs.

Vicki is a truly gifted photographer. Her composition, lighting, and color tones are always immaculate. Her presence on a wedding day is professional, poised, and unobtrusive. Her eye for details and ensuring her subjects look their absolute best ensures every single image she delivers is worthy of framing in your home. I am absolutely thrilled at every chance we have to work together and highly, highly recommend her!

I'm a photographer based out of VA who loves Jesus, I'm a PRN L&D nurse who loves all things pregnancy, I'm a Mom and Wife, Queso | Coffee | Red Wine are love languages... I'm always game for out of state weddings and would love to be considered in your venue hunt!

I was lucky enough to connect with Becca on Instagram. We had one call and I just knew she was the photographer for us. I didn't meet with anyone else, you spend all day with your photographer so you really want to connect with them, and we hit it off right away. Becca's energy is so lively, loving, and genuine. She made everyone feel at ease and happy- so many folks- from our guests, family, and our wedding party- RAVED about her during and after! We had a wonderful engagement shoot so I knew the wedding day would be the same. Honestly, I am so grateful people in my life had the opportunity to meet Becca- I think she really set a bar for folks in their minds of what a wedding photographer should be like! When she walked in on the wedding day I was so excited to see her and I felt the same all day long. If you want a photographer who will liven up the group, bring their A-game, connect with you and your guests, deliver your images quickly, and feel more like a friend than a vendor- Becca is the photographer for you!

Hello! I'm Christina! *I believe big love happens in the small moments. *I LOVE learning about your love story! *Chasing dreamy light for your portraits thrills me! *My favorite parts of a wedding day are the parts that show off the kind of life you’ve built & tell the story of who you are- the private vows, speeches, & stories shared throughout the day. I live to be the wallflower witnessing & capturing these moments. It is such an honor that I look forward to every weekend.

My husband and I used Golden Gower Photographer to capture our December wedding. Christina captured each moment and every emotion of our day perfectly. Christina as a photographer is kind, warm and encouraging. She has a special ability to make her clients feel comfortable and heard. Christina is quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and is prepared with solutions to calm any nerves. From our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, we are impressed not only with the quantity of pictures, but the quality of the photos as well. It is clear Christina took her time and put thought and care into each individual picture, and we feel so fortunate to have these beautiful pictures to look back on for years to come.

I believe in loving and laughing and taking full advantage of the time we've been given. I'm a smile at strangers, hold the door open, start a conversation in an elevator type of girl. But believe it or not, I'm a bit of an introvert as well. I crave solitude, naps and pizza on the regular. But hey, I'm a wife, mom of three teenagers and business owner, so solitude, naps and pizza are like staples for sanity, right? I find my peace in the mountains. I travel any chance I get. And I mean ANY chance. Hot tea gets me excited and I could live in the bathtub or shower. Oh and cheese. If you need to know something about me, know cheese. 

AMAZING! Amanda does such an amazing job of making you feel comfortable not to mention the pictures are just gorgeous, we couldn’t be more happy with our engagement and wedding pictures. She did a great job capturing the whole day and all the excitement behind it.

The biggest failure at the end of our lives would be trading our intimacy for our fears in light of playing it safe. This season of your lives may make you feel unwelcome and even excluded as dive into your wedding research. Listen to this: No matter where you’re from, who you pray to, what you weigh, who you voted for or who you love; who you are and who you’re becoming as individuals and as a whole are what matter to us most. We're a team of people loving, color-addicted, and moment-captured wedding photographers based in DC with over 300 weddings of experience. We've shot stories in over 20 countries and 30 states.

Our photographer was Katherine and we couldn't have been happier! She was so easy to work with from beginning to end and her photos are absolutely beautiful. She definitely kept the day flowing as it should. Katherine is super down to earth and it felt like a friend was with me all day!
