Your wedding day is a whirlwind of family and friends, vows and true love, good food and of course lots of cake! With a wedding photographer, all the beautiful moments can be captured and remembered forever. Pop of Molly Photography focuses on candid photography encapsulating the bride and groom and wedding guests enjoying the moment and being their own beautiful selves. Focusing on candid photography doesn't mean I won't take the time to sit down with you and go over the "must have" shots, list of family members and wedding party, and ensure I have photos of all your Pinterest board "dream wedding" photos.

Molly was the first vendor that we booked for our October 2025 wedding and she was a star from the beginning! We set up a call, discussed our vision for our wedding and then moved forward with an easy to set-up payment plan for our photography package! It included engagement photoshoot and a full day of photography! Molly was very communicative and knowledgable and made us feel so comfortable. Highly recommend her for your next occasion!

Stephanie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and on top of it. She and her second photographer struck the perfect balance of being professional and efficient while also feeling like casual friends, which made the entire experience feel natural and fun. My husband and I felt totally comfortable with her guidance and direction during photos, and she made the whole process so easy, even with unpredictable weather and changing light. She adapted quickly and found the perfect locations around our venue to make sure we got the best possible shots. We were so excited to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning. The quality was flawless and just captured the beauty of our day. She also did our engagement session, and those remain some of our favorite photos ever (other than the wedding, of course). If you’re getting married in Virginia, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins and her team enough. She captured our day perfectly, and we’re so grateful to have these memories to look back on forever.

Black Pepper Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication was fantastic - they were timely, professional, and personal, with an enthusiastic approach that made the experience truly enjoyable. The quality of their work was simply stunning, with breathtaking, extraordinary, and timeless photos that captured every precious moment of our special day. Chayil, our photographer, took charge to help manage the multiple people in our wedding party and family when we were feeling overwhelmed, and executed our photography needs flawlessly.

Chayil is a wonderful person who really dedicates herself to your special day and stops at nothing to capture exactly what you want. She's a true life photographer who captures every life milestone in photographs that will last a lifetime. Chayil was also incredibly supportive and willing to work with whatever we asked of her - she was honestly such an amazing guest and vendor, even getting people out on the dance floor and making everyone smile and laugh all night long. Everyone who attended our wedding still tells me how great Chayil was and how lucky we were to have her with us and capturing our special day.

We used Cait for our wedding ceremony and reception in September. We had such a wonderful experience with her! From working with me before the wedding to pre plan and prepare to then “winging it” with me the actual day of the wedding- as NOTHING went as planned the day of despite months of preparation! She was so encouraging, supportive, as well as professional. Her knowledge and experience in weddings was a huge plus and extremely helpful. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and will always have a place in the heart of myself and my husband for going above and beyond at our wedding and reception. Her photos were amazing and helped capture the beautiful moments of our day- the formal and the candid so we can remember these good times always… while recalling all the stories of how it all went ‘not as planned’! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for your services and for being the wonderful person you are.

Jessica Erin Photos

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Carson, VA

When looking through your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years, you want each photo to spark a dozen timeless memories – like the chill of the autumn air, the way your dress swung to and fro, how your grandma couldn’t stop smiling the whole night, the taste of your new spouse’s lips, and countless more. You’re looking for true and honest evidence that brings you back and steadies you in these fleeting moments. You want to freeze your day just how it is and cherish it forever. Hey, I'm Jess! You're in the right place.

From the moment we first spoke, Jessica was so inviting, thoughtful, and professional. She was always timely in her communication and provided valuable insight on how to enhance the wedding experience and perspective through photography. When we first met at the engagement shoot and all the way through the wedding day, Jessica made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and genuinely seemed excited to be a part of our special day(s). The variety of beautiful photos captured our relationship as a whole and every unforgettable moment. Jessica laughed along with our families and friends, worked seamlessly with our planner and venue coordinator, and was just a joy to be around. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful collection of memories thanks to Jessica.

Lover Pics

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Carson, VA

I’m Hadley Chittum (she/they), a documentary photographer based in Richmond, Virginia working for publications like the Guardian, New York Times, Teen Vogue, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and more. I started Lover Pics out of a desire to photograph more intimate stories and to document human connection. Because of my photojournalism background, I prefer to photograph weddings by sitting back and letting the action unfold. My process and style will work best for a couple that wants to be present in the moment and not have too many forced, posed photo-ops. But trust I'll always be there with guidance when needed.

Hadley was a wonderful photographer for our special day!! Both posed and candid photos came out beautifully and we love them dearly. Hadley is also a wonderful communicator and a great person to be around! We will definitely ask her to photograph future events.

  • Serves Carson, VA

As time passes I want you to look back through all your photographs and have all of those memories come pouring back into your mind. The moments of love, celebration, joy, the stuff you never want to forget. I'm here to help you cherish your once-in-a-lifetime love story, and celebrate your greatest achievements, and adventures! I want to celebrate it all with you!

We booked Colleen to do a wedding redo shoot 2 years after a hurricane swept through our wedding day. Due to a few different issues with our original photographer, we decided to change gears after Colleen was recommended to us by a good friend. Off the bat, Colleen was super flexible to schedule with and seemed so excited about our vision! During our shoot, Colleen made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Something I appreciated so much was that she made sure to place emphasis on the things she knew would matter to me- for instance, she asked me if I have a “good side”, fixed my hair and necklace between takes, made sure my dress was lying appropriately, and gave flawless posing direction. Initially I was nervous that Colleen would think my wishes to be unachievable; however, she delivered everything I wanted- and then some! Colleen gave us more photos in a (less than) 2hr shoot than our wedding photographer gave us in a 12hr day. Her photos captured my exact vision- artistic, romantic, seductive, modern- all tied in a beautiful Christmas bow! Something else worth mentioning- Colleen left our shoot and *immediately* began working on edits. We were sent multiple sneak peaks DAY OF, and dozens more the following day! Entire album was completed with hundreds of shots by 10 days out. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience with Colleen and these photos that we can cherish for years. Thank you Colleen!

The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise.
