Jenna Gallo Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,400
  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

Serving couples who are inspired by film and authentic moments, while capturing the genuine emotions and small details of your special day. Soft | organic | timeless | Infused with lots of romance | & filled with light ✨ Based in the Washington DC, Virginia & East Coast Area

Best Wedding Photographer EVER! I can't put into words how wonderful Jenna is and how much my husband and I loved having her photograph our wedding! Photography was very important to us and the images Jenna captured on our wedding day are nothing short of a dream! We knew shortly after meeting with her that we were a great personality match and she's someone we'd enjoy spending our wedding day with. Leading up to our wedding, Jenna was very supportive and willing to meet with us to discuss details. We had already had engagement photos done by the time we met with Jenna, so we met her in person for the first time on our big day but it felt like we already knew each other. She was so flexible and positive throughout the day (which did include some surprise rain showers, putting us a bit on edge). She really listened to us and understood what we were looking for and was just so fun to have around on our wedding day- all our family and friends loved her. Jenna continued to communicate regularly from our wedding up until our gallery was ready. She provided some sneak peeks quickly, and was even willing to edit and send a few specific photos in the timeframe while she was editing. We could not love our gallery more - especially the film photos! Highly recommend Jenna for wedding photography - she's awesome and you will have nothing to worry about on your big day!

Monica was such a wonderful addition to our wedding. She was so fun to spend time with, easy going, and a joy to work with! Her style of photography is so laid back, we got to have a blast at our engagement session and on our wedding day we didn't feel like we were missing out on cocktail hour, or dreading having to take pictures. She made the experience so enjoyable and we absolutely love all of our photographs. She captured us, our love, and our friends and family, perfectly.

Amandacreates Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

Hello, and Welcome My personal philosophy is: ​ "When you commit yourself to do something, do it from the heart." 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 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 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,995
  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

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.

Hiring Nate with the Paperboys team might have been the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I are (very picky) creatives by nature and trade so we knew that we wanted to be very intentional about our choice of photographer for our special day. Our venue was a historic hotel that requires you to work with one of their select partners, something we initially were a little hesitant about due to its inherent limitations. Most partners listed had very technically beautiful photos but nothing that excited us creatively. Until we saw their most recent partner addition: Paperboys. We loved the playfulness, talent, and imagination that was deeply valued with the team and quickly connected with our photographer Nate both creatively and socially. It was apparent that he truly loved his craft and was easy to communicate our vision with, always making sure to ask helpful questions and take the time to study our provided resource materials. Without prompting or extra charge, he also opted to bring his own film camera to snap some artsy film shots on the actual day, an above and beyond move that shows how much he genuinely just loves what he does. The finished photos absolutely exceeded expectations. His signature style we loved shone through while also managing to capture the exact essence of what we were hoping for stylistically. And as someone who specifically struggles with body confidence and anxiety, he was able to make me feel safe by providing a calm presence and plenty of posing guidance. This allowed me to truly just exist and enjoy the day, which is something I genuinely wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to manage, and therefore the most wonderful gift in and of itself. TLDR: Just hire Paperboys already and thank me later! You’re welcome.

  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

Hi friend! I'm Tianna, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Originally, I'm from coastal NC but after graduating college, I settled in the Triangle and have been loving it ever since. I'm a girl mama, avid fantasy reader, travel enthusiast, and true crime junkie. There is nothing I love more than cuddling with my toddler (when she lets me), reading a great book, and drinking a cup of coffee. Growing up, I never imagined I would be a wedding photographer. I honestly thought I would be an author! While I'm not putting pen to paper, I am still telling my couples' love stories and loving every minute of it!

Tianna is an extremely talented and fun photographer, she truly cares about her clients and her work speaks volumes! You won't be disappointed!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for someone to capture your memories in a seriously beautiful way, Christine Tustin is 100% your gal. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and after seeing Christine’s work we had no question we’d ask her to be our photographer. From discussing a contract to receiving our photos, she made the process simple, clear, and stress free, which means eeeverything when planning a wedding! Also, as a bride who had a wedding during COVID-19, I also had anxiety about making sure all our guests felt safe and comfortable. Christine was super flexible, organized, and made sure photos were timely but also thorough, minimizing any stress I had. Christine is not only an artist but she makes you feel like a BOSS. She has a unique way with people, bringing out the best in them through her sense of humor and badass-ness. She’s captured our personalities and relationship PERFECTLY and we feel super blessed to have these memories. Can’t wait to hang them on our photo wall. I could keep on writing/raving FOREVER about her, but will leave it at this. Look no further for an incredible photographer.

Wild Elegance 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

Being a mother, wife, and believer in Jesus has made me see the beauty of tears, smiles of joy, and bonds of union between two people ready for their new journey. A wedding is a celebratory day that everybody needs to remember as if it were yesterday, and that’s the reason why I love to capture real moments and transform them into memories. I will trace a timeline with the photos of your big day, and it will be like returning to the most beautiful day of your life. Because the things you live, I living them through my eyes.

I met Nia at a networking event in Richmond, VA and our energy matched so well that we exchanged numbers and planned to see one another again in DC. During weddings, events, headshots, you name it, Nia will always have a smile on her face. She commands the attention of the room to ensure we are running according to schedule and as a wedding coordinator it is extremely helpful. I appreciate her kindness and ability to have fun even in the most stressful situations. I can't wait for us to work together again. Hire her--best decision of 2024!

Wes Shinn Photography & Film 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

Combining emotion and romance, with a hint of mystery and wonder. These photos will tell your story in a one-of-a-kind way. Documenting your love differently from any other. And allowing you to re-live it with your love ones in the most special way. As a wedding photographer I think it’s really important to build a relationship with all of my couples. Honestly, I will admit that as your photographer I usually spend more time with you two individually than you actually will together on your wedding day. Which is why I have a lot to explain for how I move forward in capturing high caliber wedding photos with all of my couples.

We've had the pleasure of working with Wes Shinn on numerous occasions, and each time, he exceeds our expectations. His ability to transform your wedding moments into timeless works of art is unparalleled. Choosing him as your wedding photographer ensures not only stunning memories but you’ll also get a kind, professional photographer who cares about his clients. Trust us, you won't regret it!

While documenting your wedding day, I prioritize your unique humanness, capturing the genuine and candid moments in front of me. I am not the photographer who meticulously curates images for a perfect social feed in the name of going viral. The images I am passionate about creating tell your unique story and leave you with moments turned heirlooms.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Mary was by far the best & easiest decision I have ever made. Her work is not only stunning but the way she communicates with you before stepping in front of her camera ensured me that she was the one. During the day, she made my family & I feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the lens. Her style of giving light direction was exactly what we needed to feel confident. And the photos??? TO DIE FOR! We've gotten so many compliments. I know that I will be reaching out to her for every life event moving forward.

We love photography because we get to see people smile, laugh and be joyful.

Hey there! I'm Hannah, your go-to, candid-photo-loving wedding storyteller.I'm Hannah Hardy, a passionate wedding photographer based in the heart of Virginia. With an eye for the moments that matter most, I'm here to ensure that your special day is not only captured but transformed into a visual narrative that you'll treasure forever. My journey as a wedding photographer began with a deep fascination for emotions, connections, and the unspoken language of love.

There are no words to describe the breathtaking photos that we received back from our October 14, 2023 wedding!! Every single picture is stunning and there isn’t one single picture that we (even a little bit) don’t like. Hannah and her SIL showed up and quickly got to work. That day it was raining from dawn until the start of the ceremony and they showed up with smiles and raincoats to get every shot imaginable. They not only captured the sentiments of us but also captured the party and joy in everyone else there. I can not recommend Quinn Photography enough and will 1000 times out of 10 pick them for all of my photography needs! If you’re still in limbo on finding a photographer rather it be for a wedding, family, couple, birthday, holiday or whatever your heart desires stop what you’re doing and reach out to them.

She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

She made sure to get every single shot we asked for. Her skills are beyond unbelievable. She makes you feel so comfortable and makes sure you are having fun while taking all of your photos. She even helped me with our timeline, which helped the day run smoothly. Her turnaround time is extremely fast, unrivaled in the industry. We received our sneak peeks less than 12 hours after the photography ended. We received our full wedding gallery less than 2 weeks after our wedding date! We were blown away by all of the photos.

Each image brings back such fond memories of our special day, and being able to share those moments with our loved ones has been incredibly rewarding, all thanks to Laura's incredible talent. Right from our very first meeting, Laura's professionalism, expertise, and calming presence put us at ease. She was super responsive to any questions I had before the wedding, and her timeline guidance and advice on hair and makeup rotations were invaluable. Her attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic without a single worry.

Hi! I'm Kimie. I'm a Sagittarius/Capricorn based in Richmond, Virginia where I live in a cute little house with my husband (of 4 months!) Ben, and our two perfect puppies, Millie and Babe. I dance to my own beat and sing my own tune.

We were so excited to work with Kimie after seeing her work on Instagram and being referred to her by our wedding planner. She is super sweet and down to earth, and when we had our initial meeting I felt like I'd known her forever, she was that easy to talk to. For someone who has only been focusing on video for a few years (she started with just photography) Kimie is incredibly skilled. She captured all the special moments and made us look like superstars in our own movie (which, let's be honest, is what we all want lol). And what really made us Kimie's #1 fans was that she stayed through the entire reception even though she was only booked until about 8:30pm. She was able to catch the best of the dance party and our exit, which I was originally bummed about not getting video of but was such a nice surprise. We are in love with our videos and watch them over and over again, and every night our baby girls are like "Mommy! Video!". Book Kimie! (Married 5/21/22)

  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

I document love stories for the joyful, crazy in love, laid back bride & groom. Being a wedding photographer is the best job in the whole world. I get to work with the most fun loving, beautiful, and COOLEST couples who are just as passionate about authentic moments as I am. You'll also find my couples love good food, their fur babies, and their people! So when it comes to their wedding day, they are most excited to CELEBRATE, and it's my goal to make that happen. 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!

Based in Maryland, capture love story worldwide. We work to keep your timeless, intimate, lifetime, romantic, meaningful moments FOREVER. Limited amount of weddings each year so I can get to know you better and create the highest quality of work.

I was so stressed since we started preparing our wedding. Once we booked with Aira, she’s always there for me. She answered questions and provided great ideas. We were running late on our weddings, I was so worried, but Aira kept on telling me that how great we were and she captured everything I wanted. My husband and I were crying when we were watching the slideshow. All the feelings came back at that moment! Can’t thank her more!

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Madeleine was hands down the best wedding photographer I could have ever asked for. She is amazing with communication and she made sure that my husband and I's big day was both magical and stress free. She helped coordinate our first look, a special and timeless moment that we will never forget. I did not know what to expect for our first look and I was really nervous thinking about it, but she knew exactly how to set it up so that it was the most genuine and perfect moment of my life. She also did an outstanding job working alongside our wedding florist, as well as with our day of coordinators. We were able to get some amazing photos on top of a mountain/hill at our venue overlooking a valley. Despite the flowers for our half circle arch being situated all the way down at the ceremony area, Madeleine and our florist were able to work together to bring them up to the hill and do a coordinated photoshoot for us there. I loved seeing our gorgeous flower arch in two different locations at our venue. Everything about Madeleine Collins Photography is so professional, from the planning before the big day, to receiving all of the edited photos afterwards. The photos came out so beautifully and she did such a great job bringing out all the right colors and lighting. She knew exactly how to capture the lighting and our expressions. If you're still in between photographers and deciding, I can guarantee that you will not regret choosing Madeleine.

Hi Everyone! I am so happy that you are here! I am a photographer in the DMV area but I am available for travel among states and worldwide! I am passionate about telling your love story, documenting the authentic and candid moments that unfold throughout the day.

We cannot say enough great things about Katie! We booked her for both engagement pictures as well as our wedding. We took our engagement photos at the beach when it was still pretty cold out. During our session she got into the water to take the perfect shot, and the pictures turned out amazing! She is down to earth, easy to work with, and very accommodating. We never felt like it was an awkward photoshoot. She made it feel like we were just hanging out, being ourselves, and having fun. We cannot stop looking at our engagement and wedding photos. Our families really enjoyed her too. We highly recommend working with her and have already recommended her to others.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

Combining influences from the world of fashion, photojournalism and traditional schools of art photography, Framemoment Photography illustrate an exclusive breathtaking approach to our work. fresh innovative look alters change from standard event photography that typically appears in compilations and albums. Often described as striking, spontaneous and sometimes edgy, our gallery-worthy images push the limits of conventional event photography, providing each one of their clients with a personalized and visionary final product.

Akio is the literal best. He and his team are super insightful and supportive, they listen, they're fun, and they just take care of you. I needed a photographer who can shoot interracial couples/crowds so the colors wouldn't be funky and can pay attention to all the tiny cultural detail, and these guys freaking delivered. Super fun and flexible people, I can't hype them up enough.

We're Jay and Larissa, partners, parents, and documentary wedding photographers based in Chicago and capturing weddings around the world. We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. We've also been ranked among the world's best wedding photographers, but what matters most to us is what our couples think. Our goal is to blow your mind with photos that make your mother-in-law cry and your best friends say "holy shit!" If you want wedding photos that aren't just wedding photos, you're in the right place.

Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

Hi I'm Maddy! I’m a Virginia native whose love of her camera took her on an adventure into entrepreneurship. I accidentally stumbled into wedding photography thanks to some family friends, and ended up leaving my career as a consultant to pursue my passion. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a perfectionist and a little bit Type A, but take pride in how that makes me into a great wedding photographer. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love the energy of a wedding day that keeps me on my toes. My attention to detail allows me to go above and beyond when it comes to helping you prepare and capturing your wedding day.

We absolutely loved working with Maddy! She was professional, talented, and made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoots. She truly nailed the sweet romance we were trying to achieve through our pictures. Our package also included an engagement session and the photos came out beautiful! We had an incredible selection to choose for our save the date and website photos. Maddy’s system is also so easy to use. She uploads all photos online and gives you the option to download into a Google Photos album so it makes sharing with friends and family incredibly simple. In the days leading up to our wedding, Maddy was organized and helpful, even prepared for the rainfall predicted for our wedding! The day turned out gorgeous and so did our pictures. We are so happy we chose Maddy to capture our big day and I know you will too!
