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.

Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

I capture love stories all over Virginia and Washington DC! Everyone's story matters. That's why I believe it is important to let my clients know that I am an LGBTQIA+ and BLM ally.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Kelly was better than I could have imagined! She talked with me over a Zoom call at the beginning of planning our wedding and made a wedding timeline with me. Over the months of planning our wedding, we edited the timeline a few times, and I was so happy to have her experience and guidance in that since we were not hiring a wedding coordinator. Kelly was prompt with her responses to my texts and emails, and always professional. Our engagement session with Kelly was so fun, and she made us both feel comfortable during our first professional photo shoot ever. She delivered over 100 photos just from our engagement shoot! The day of our wedding, Kelly wore many hats. She acted as coordinator by keeping everyone in line and everything according to our timeline. She was also basically my maid of honor, fixing my dress, buttoning my gown’s sleeves in the car on the way to our ceremony, and swapping her shoes with mine for 30 minutes so my feet could have a break from my uncomfortable shoes before our first dance. I also appreciated her taking charge when needed. It took some stress off of me and allowed me to enjoy our big day without having to boss people around, haha. When it was all said and done, she delivered about 1,000 stunning photos of our day that we will always cherish, and even sent 100 printed photos as a gift to us. Kelly, THANK YOU for making our wedding day run smoothly, hyping us both up, making us feel comfortable and heard, and delivering such special memories in picture form. 3 So thankful we found you to be our photographer!

Jennifer and her husband were our photographers for our wedding earlier in December and we could not have been happier with our choice. They helped so much throughout the planning process and with developing the timeline and were incredibly quick and efficient responding to my many emails. They are so lovely to work with in person and I love watching their dynamic between each other, as well. It's never comfortable being in front of a camera but Jennifer makes it feel so natural, just like you're hanging out with your loved ones (which you are!). We already got our sneak peak of the album and we are SO madly in love with all of the pictures and impressed by the speed in which Jennifer was able to get them to us. If you want gorgeous photos from the most personable and efficient couple there is then PLEASE go with Jennifer Nolan Photography. Thank you both for everything!!

Josie was the one of best decisions we made for our wedding! She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and thorough. She builds a relation with the couple so everyone is comfortable, and takes the time to get to know you. She asks for input each step of the way, and makes sure that the couples desired shots and ideas are clear to her. She kept us sane throughout the process, and took charge when needed. We are so thankful to have found a friend in her, and so blessed to have had her as our wedding photographer!

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!

Jason Snorlax Photography

  • Serves Dayton, VA

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Timeless. Intimate. Organic. My name is Molly Majher (pronounced like "major") and I am a wedding photographer serving VA, WV, MD and more! I'm a wife, mom, and LOTR & HP fangirl. When you hire me as your wedding photographer you don't just get a person who shows up with a camera, but you get someone who you can be yourself around, who answers your questions, helps create your wedding day timeline, holds your umbrella when it rains and calms your nerves. I do all this while taking stunning photos for you to remember all the big and little moments of your wedding day.

I WOULD GIVE MOLLY 10 STARS IF I COULD. First and foremost, Molly was SO easy to work with; she is a genuinely kind person and we loved her instantly. We had a budget so she worked with us and helped create our timeline in order to maximize photos within our allotted time. She made everyone feel comfortable, was quick to direct us for poses/candids, and was very flexible when the family made it hard to coordinate for photos. Professionalism 10/10, Photos 100/10, Communication 10/10. I will forever be grateful that I was able to get her to photograph our wedding. You will not regret having her capture life's most precious moments for you.

She made me feel at ease immediately and was very patient throughout the process. Whether it was guiding me through poses or letting me just be natural, she struck the perfect balance. Creativity and Skill: The photos speak for themselves! Marie has a fantastic eye for detail and composition. The lighting, framing, and editing were all spot-on, capturing moments in a way that felt both artistic and authentic. Whether it was candid moments or more posed shots, each photo felt personal and unique. Final Product: The final images were delivered on time, and I was blown away by the quality. The editing was flawless, enhancing the photos without overdoing it. It was clear that Marie put a lot of care and effort into the post-processing, and it truly paid off.
