Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

Awarded Best of Zola
D.S. Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, David was responsive and professional, quickly answering all our calls and emails. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and captured beautiful, creative shots that perfectly caught the joy and energy of our special day. David was fun and easygoing to work with, seamlessly going with the flow as our schedule shifted. For an awkward couple like us when it comes to posing and taking pictures, David made us feel really comfortable and made us laugh throughout the whole shoot. And on top of his great service, he offered the best pricing we found among the photographers we considered. We couldn't be happier with the high-quality photos that now allow us to remember our wedding day. Highly recommend D.S. Photography!

Would choose Melanie again and again. I actively recommend her to friends and acquaintances who say they’re engaged. She is super friendly, upbeat and good at her job. She blends in well and there are pictures that I don’t even remember her being there for.

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.

Alex Hines Photography is for the modern-styled couple who takes priority in tangible memories; memories that are timeless and unforgettable. Couples who value human connection and legacy. A wedding day is captured in a journalistic or documentary approach with very little guidance. With elegance and class, I specialize in off-guard flattering photos capturing in-the-moment emotion.

Alex was incredible to work with, start to finish. She was prompt to respond when we initially reached out to her, and we quickly setup a zoom call. We fell in love with her pure passion for what she does, and we felt fully comfortable and confident in her ability and professionalism. Alex kept up with us throughout the year long engagement and sent us helpful information along the way. She was responsive to messages on honeybook and always calm and confident—which helped ease any bridal anxieties I had! Alex did phenomenal work the day of the wedding. She was prompt, professional, and had a great vibe for our special day. She helped us scope out some fun, artistic spots to take photos and she made the whole day very special. I cannot wait to see the final images but I have no doubt that they will be beyond breath-taking. Alex—I hope we have more special occasions in the future that require your talent and vision! Thank you for ALL you did for us. -Kayla and George

Since 2010, Aaron Jay Photography has worked with dozens of families, couples and events. Aaron Jay Photography has always been a people-pleaser. We love photography because we get to see people smile, laugh and be joyful.

Aaron Jay Photography gets great satisfaction in knowing those moments we captured through a lens will be cherished forever.

We got married in the middle of a pandemic, via Zoom. Though none of our family or friends could be here, Aaron was able to come over and photograph us from a safe distance in our backyard. The pictures are absolutely amazing- better than anything I could have expected, even for a “normal” wedding. We love Aaron.

Katie Nesbitt Photography

  • Serves Colonial Heights, VA

I'm Katie and I've been a wedding photographer for over ten years now. In that time I've been lucky to photograph nearly 200 weddings all over the East coast and the world! I love to approach each wedding day as though I were telling the story to someone who wasn't there...which to me means capturing a mixture of the little details you worked so hard to choose as well as those little in between moments that happen as the day unfolds. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can find me shopping at Trader Joe's, planning my next trip, or cuddling with my cat, Lucy!

I had the pleasure of working with Katie Nesbitt over the course of several years and have watched her talents evolve in the process. Katie's eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with. She deftly navigates complex family dynamics, moves swiftly through portrait sessions, and knows when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. She has a way of elevating our charming, little farm venue through her lens and makes it look sophisticated and refined! I was always impressed by the mix of candids, posed shots, and details she captured throughout the day. Beyond that, she is punctual, communicative, dependable, and complimented every single vendor team she has been paired with for our couples! In fact, I hired Katie as my own wedding photographer for my 2020 (now 2022) wedding because I was so impressed with her professionalism behind the scenes as well as her work. I've loved working with Katie in this capacity, especially during these complicated times, because every communication reminded me that she cared, listened, was flexible as we were forced to change our plans. The next steps were clearly outlined, so we were never left wondering what was going on. It made us feel that we were being guided by a true professional through a process she was a master at! I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.
