  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

I am a photographer, coordinator, artist, friend, and romantic documenting unscripted moments of life and love. I have that wedding-day giddiness when I photograph weddings, which I absolutely love documenting. I am always honored to be a part each and every wedding I photograph and to capture those important moments!

Laura's Focus Photography went above and beyond all our expectations. It's honestly hard to put into words just how grateful we are for Laura's exceptional work. Saying we're impressed doesn't even come close! Every time my husband and I revisit our wedding photos, it's like reliving those magical moments all over again. 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. The photos turned out absolutely breathtaking, striking a perfect and timeless balance between documentary-style shots and those capturing the warmth of our family and friends. Without a doubt, we will wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone we know who is planning their wedding.

  • 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

After finalizing our date and venue, Jenna was the first vendor we lined up to work with us on our wedding day--and I'm so glad we did! Researching photographers was such a daunting process. For me, it was a blend of finding someone with a great eye for composition and capturing the light, as well as a lovely demeanor (we're going to be spending a whole day together!) and ability to make us comfortable in front of the camera. Jenna exceeded my hopes--and dazzled us with her talents. Having seen the gorgeous samples of her work, I was blown away by our own finished product. Our photographs--and the overall experience--were everything I had hoped for, and more. Working with Jenna was effortless--and lovely. From her warm, friendly, and quick responses to my e-mails to the gorgeous heirloom keepsake box of curated photos (a happy bonus!), Jenna is a true professional and a class act. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!

  • Serves Dahlgren, VA

I love weddings! I love how one single event can be done is so many unique ways to fit each couple and their story. My favorite things to capture during the day are the little details you incorporate to make the day truly yours. My approach is to capture emotion and as much candid interaction and love as possible on your big day while incorporating romantic and fun poses in between.

Yvette arrived early at the location without being asked to scope out spots for cute pictures, she was very kind, fun, and easy to work with. She did not even get the opportunity to meet us before the event, but she just jumped right in and started shooting. We have not seen all the photos yet but the sneak peaks we have gotten were gorgeous, and I’m sure the others will be the same.

My name is Myles Katherine. I'm a photographer to my core and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to do what I love! Through my job, I have met so many incredible couples, artists, models, families and friends. After living in Portland, Oregon from 2012-2019, I relocated to Richmond, Virginia. However, I'm open to traveling anywhere and everywhere! I cannot make it through the day without coffee, my cat and (obviously) my cameras. I'm looking forward to being a part of your unique love story and capturing it in a beautiful, unconventional way. -Myles Katherine

Myles was our photographer for our wedding at the VA Living Museum and she exceeded our expectations (which were already high after looking through her website)! She really captured the joy of the day in such an artful and unique way. The film pictures were a particular highlight, so beautiful and elevated beyond your typical wedding photos! Myles was able to incorporate the natural landscape of the museum grounds into the photos as well. I usually feel pretty awkward getting my picture taken but Myles and her husband Chris made us and our family feel so comfortable there was no awkwardness at all! It was a privilege to work with Myles!

Hi. I'm Teresa. While photography is a part-time job for me, documenting your stories doesn't ever get treated like it's not important. My full-time gig is teaching high school English and journalism at an all-boys school in Washington, DC. Journalism is my favorite subject to teach because it is as much about writing as it is about the art of observing the world, and I became a photographer because of my experiences in photojournalism.

From the moment we booked TCJ Design for our wedding photography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Teresa demonstrated clear, frequent communication and was a great listener throughout the entire process. Their work is simply beautiful, timeless, and captivating. For our engagement session, Teresa really delivered on our by the water/Maryland theme, capturing stunning shots that felt so true to us as a couple. On our wedding day, the TCJ Design team seamlessly documented every meaningful detail, delivering photos that are more beautiful than we could have imagined. We are so grateful to have these cherished memories to look back on for years to come.

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!!!

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!

She has worked as a wedding photographer for many years, providing exceptional service and stunning collection for each couple. Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

As your wedding photographer I understand the journey you have been on that leads you to your wedding day. I know about the unique twists and turns of your story as a couple and how much this celebration means to you both. I know these things because I am invested in you as a couple just as you are investing in me as your photographer. As you vow to be true to each other for the rest of your lives, I promise to capture you in a timeless and romantic way that creates heirloom quality images that eventually turn into your legacy.

Meridith Bright is an exceptional photographer. You would be absolutely blessed to have her by your side at any event. Meridith photographed my wedding (10/14/2023), welcome party (10/13/2023), and a recent family photography session (9/2023). I could not have been happier with her work, professionalism, and vibe. Due to budget reasons, we were unable to have a second shooter, but she was EVERYWHERE. Every single time I looked up, there was Meredith. It rained on my wedding day, which limited our availability for photo locations - no big deal, she improvised and came up with excellent second choices. When I stepped outside the tent to take selfies with my girlfriends in the rain, all of a sudden there was Meridith capturing our moment as well. I’m a photography addict and I had some out of the box ideas that Meridith admittedly didn't have experience with. I love that she was open and honest about not having done this type of photo before and I loved her willingness to try out the photo styles. One of these requested photos was in my sneak peak, and it was to die for, perfect. Two days before my wedding, my mother surprised me with a list of photos she would be requiring for the day. I thought my "official" timeline by my planner wasn't going to be able to accommodate this. Meridith took charge. She went back and forth with me multiple times over the next 48hrs and created a new timeline to ensure we could get it done. Lastly, after all that back and forth, I was insanely late the day of my wedding. There was a bit of drama (surprise lol), and I did not complete my hair and makeup until over an hour after I was supposed to. Oh my goodness was Meridith wonderful in this situation. She never flustered or got angry with me. Instead, she lovingly kept reminding me of the importance to have fun and enjoy this time. So while I was freaking out at the potential of ruining everything, Meridith was go with the flow, upbeat, and calming - all things I really needed. I got my sneak peak photos from the wedding and welcome party on 10/15/2023. 26 pictures of pure perfection. OBSESSED! They are absolutely gorgeous. The day had its fair share of craziness, but these pictures are out of this world – coming from someone with 105,891 pictures on their phone. I feel like I got my perfect day, which will forever mean the world to me and would not have been able to happen without Meridith Bright. Thank you for everything, Mer! And to the googlers still reading, book her – you won’t regret it.

You just have to live and life will give you pictures. The first time I saw the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, I knew photography was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! His mantra is exactly how I approach wedding photography. I want you two as a couple to enjoy your wedding, having the best day of your lives, and amazing photographs will come from your joy.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in the DC area, stop and boom James immediately! We really liked James from the first time we saw his portfolio online, and felt very confident after our first call with him that we had found the photographer we wanted to work with. He was really thoughtful in sending us sample galleries from weddings he had done that were in similar venues to ours. We could not have made a better choice! He was good at communicating and working out details prior to the wedding, even scouting out potential locations in case of rain in the forecast. On the day itself he was fantastic and provided just the right amount of direction to get good shots while putting everyone at ease. He also captured all the special candid moments and I still don’t know how he managed to get so many different angles and shots during the ceremony. We also absolutely loved the video slideshow he did with our speeches and the photos. We’ll always treasure the stunning photos we have from our wedding and couldn’t recommend James more highly!
