Their communication was clear, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was efficient, stunning, and highly personalized to our style. They sent us multiple photographer options to choose from, and we went with Sabatani, who captured every moment of our special day beautifully. OLAS also helped us create a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. We're thrilled with the photos and couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our wedding.

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 26-year-old wedding photographer based just outside DC in NoVA. Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

However, we're so glad we listened to the advice of our friends and family and chose Pop of Molly Photography & Design.

She was so unobtrusive during the day that we often forgot she was there, but the photos she captured perfectly reflect the joy and intimacy of our celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

We love Angela’s journalistic style and ability to capture both the big moments and the small, intimate details. Each photo is a beautiful work of art that tells the story of our day with such elegance and emotion. Not only is Angela incredibly talented, but she is also a joy to work with. When we met her it felt like we had known her for years! Her friendly attitude helped us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera, which truly made a difference in the quality of the photos. She went above and beyond to make sure every shot was perfect, and her attention to detail was evident in every frame. The photos exceeded our expectations and will be cherished for a lifetime. We cannot recommend Angela Mallett highly enough to anyone looking for a photographer who brings both skill and heart to their work. Thank you, Angela, for capturing our special day so beautifully!

Emily and Dryden exceeded our expectations and we only knew them 10 days before the wedding day! We ran into an issue with our originally booked wedding photo + video crew only 2 weeks out before our big day, and in came this remarkably talented duo to save the 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! We are so happy to have had Fuse Media Studios capture our big day and to now call these two dear friends in the process is a special bonus!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

Rob was not only a responsive and professional photographer, but he did an incredible job of capturing our day. We love our photos and looking through them makes us feel like we are re-living our day! The emotion and stories are so present in the shots. It is evident how much heart Rob puts into his work, and working with him is a breeze. We're lucky to have found him, and if you have too, don't hesitate to book him!

Hey there, I'm Elena! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Bristol, VA/TN serving clients across Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. While my heart is in the Southeast, I'm always ready to pack my bags and capture your love story wherever it takes you across the country. My shooting style is relaxed, playful, and evocative. I value connection, authenticity, and true colors. I help couples who love candid shots and cherish raw emotions! Before becoming a wedding photographer, I spent a decade as a travel reporter. This shaped my photojournalistic and observant approach. I absolutely LOVE hunting for the ideal moment!

We had the best experience shooting our engagement session with Elena. She made sure that we were comfortable and gave us confidence through teaching us how to pose. Her photos from the session captured the best light and were beautiful. Elena was a joy to work with and was very communicative throughout the process from giving tips, to being receptive to our ideas, and going the extra mile to find the perfect location.

Kelsey Cuervo photography began out of a love of art and a proclivity to create, and evolved into a passion for capturing genuine connection in an artful way. I approach my clients with a desire to capture their genuine connection using their love story as my source of inspiration.

There is nobody we would have rather had with us throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Judging from her other work, we knew that we would be getting a stunning final product, but what you can't see in her pictures online is how friendly she is, how comfortable she makes you feel behind the camera (I was particularly nervous our first go around for the engagement shoot), and how well she directs and manages people to create her magic. Now for the product! My wife and I sat down together when Kelsey sent us the final photos and it genuinely took us back to our wedding day. She captured both the emotion and the beauty of it all so well, and we now have these pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. We feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and friend. Thank you, Kelsey!!
