Amanda Adams Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Columbia, VA

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.

Amanda came to us highly recommended and we scheduled the only day that worked well with our schedules. Unfortunately for us, the day was less than picturesque. A dense fog covered the area and I thought there was nothing that could be done except moving the shoot inside. Boy, was I wrong. Amanda has the artistic eye that I clearly lack, because what I saw as gloomy, Amanda saw as artistic. We went through our shoot without a hitch and, a moment with the love of my life, artistically frozen in time, hangs on a canvass in my living room for all who visit to see. I’d recommend her final product and thorough process to anybody.

It is my honor to capture the purest and most sincere moments in peoples’ lives. Not only do I take pride in providing my clients with stunning images, I do so in a way that is always professional and engaging. Weddings don’t always go exactly as planned. Sometimes there is bad weather, poor lighting, or the timeline just gets derailed. It happens! My clients know that they never need to worry. Dealing with surprises is second nature to me, and my career as a seasoned photographer allows me to never skip a beat. The details of your special day will always be captured beautifully.

The quality of wedding photography is telling when more than three years later you're stopped by one of your wedding guests who not only remembers your wedding photos, but also out of nowhere praises how wonderful your photos turned out. This just happened to my husband and I and it was solely because we chose Aaron Watson Photography for our wedding photos. In addition to the superior quality of the photography itself was the pleasure of working with Aaron and his assistant photographers. They went above and beyond and were crucial in helping us plan a realistic wedding timeline and other parts of the day we wouldn't have thought of ourselves, such as building in 15 minutes just for my husband and I after the ceremony before we got swept away by the night's events. Through working with him, I'm proud to say we have gained a lifelong friend in Aaron. We highly recommend Aaron for any photography needs, wedding, engagement, family photos and more.

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

My business was in need of professional headshots and Sara did an amazing job! Her pricing is fair, she communicates in a timely manner, and she has a nice studio perfect for the photos I wanted. Not only did she take individual headshots, but she also took group shots of my team. Despite some of my employees being camera shy, Sara knew just how to get them out of their shell and direct them into taking the photos. I am very impressed by how Sara conducts her business and recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer!

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

Brandon, from the start, made it clear that his focus was to capture our big day the way we wanted to remember it. He worked hard to get to know the two of us as a couple and our style through the engagement shoot. When our wedding day arrived, he came inspired and prepared. Along with his assistant, Brandon made sure to get all of the best angles of the day and made sure to capture the emotion and ambiance as well. He knew we were game for some adventurous shots and he managed to create some truly magical moments that illustrated the romance and individuality of the evening. He worked flawlessly with our videographer and even outperformed our wedding coordinator in keeping us on track with all of the after-dinner events. We are SO infinitely grateful for his presence at our ceremony!! We can't recommend him enough.

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mikkel was more than just our photographer, she was a partner to us for the wedding as a whole! We had a destination wedding on the new Disney cruise ship, the Wish, and while it was an amazing time there were definitely challenges to planning a destination wedding at a brand new venue that we couldn't see until the wedding trip itself. Mikkel has a strong network of contacts in the industry that kept her informed of the ship and logistics and she ended up being more helpful to us than our Disney wedding coordinator! She checked in multiple times throughout our wedding planning on photography things such as the timeline, but also helped in providing her opinion on things like the bridesmaid dresses, the locations for the first look, and was generally helpful with her wealth of knowledge of Disney Cruise Line weddings to bounce ideas off of. Her pictures were INCREDIBLE! The quality, coloring, angles, lighting, everything about them is absolutely perfect. But most importantly, she is such a warm and happy person to work with that we felt incredibly comfortable posing in front of her for hours on end! We also had the luxury of her husband helping us a bit too and they were such a team, working together in the hot Bahamian sun quickly and effectively without even needing to direct each other most of the time to maximize how many pictures we could get before the sweat ruined our dress/suit/hair! Another attribute of Mikkel's that's worth mentioning is her flexibility. We took pictures with her the days before and after our wedding in addition to the big day, and our plan and timeline for the full weekend was completely in flux due to the chaos of our venue. If that caused issues for Mikkel, we never knew as she was upbeat and positive and leaned into every challenge that came our way. Honestly I could go on and on about her, she's exactly who we needed for our wedding and I am so grateful that we found her. If you are considering Mikkel, stop thinking about it and just book her - you won't regret it!

I'm a Northern Virginia based wedding photographer with a love for capturing your day in a way that feels most authentic to YOU. My experience with having my own COVID wedding has led me to appreciate all kinds of weddings, big and small. ◡̈ Virginia born and raised, I met my husband in middle school and we chose to be by each others' sides forever back in 2020! We are building a family and a life we love in Fredericksburg, VA, but are always ready to go. He's my right hand man and will probably tag along every so often!

Not only does he take beautiful photos (we have SO many favorites!), every step of the process was fun and absolutely perfect. He is very professional, accommodating, and incredibly detail-oriented, thoughtful and organized--perfect traits for a wedding photographer! Before coming to the wedding he went out of his way and asked if I was hungry or needed something from the store which was very considered. We truly couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day! We cannot thank and praise him enough, and we feel so lucky to have found him for our wedding. I would have a very hard time letting a friend of mine choose a different photographer.

Photographing you is not only a hobby, but a timeless commitment and passion to capture authenticity in the memories we are about to create.​I love seeing the beauty and emotions in people. I am not here to treat you as my client, but as a friend who I can make a connection with, and who is letting me capture those perfectly imperfect moments you wish to see. Let's chat more!

Amanda and her team at Amandacreates Photography were a joy to work with on our wedding day. From our first interactions, they were fun, helpful, and provided great direction to make my husband and I feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The final photos turned out beautifully - we are thrilled with the quality and value of their work. Amanda and her team truly captured all the special moments that made our day so memorable.

Hey there! I'm Rachel, and I've been accidentally smacking my camera into things for over five years (it's a good thing my gear is insured). I mix Traditional, Candid, and Documentary styles to capture your day just the way it happens. My husband Daniel and I are a photography duo, and we love becoming friends with our clients through our complimentary engagement sessions – think of us as your wedding day besties! As newlyweds ourselves, we totally get the wedding planning craziness and are here to make the photography part a breeze!

Rachel was absolutely wonderful to work with! She did gorgeous engagement photos for us and went above and beyond for our wedding photos! We just did our 1st anniversary photoshoot and Rachel again delivered another round of phenomenal photos for us!
