Missy and Nicole were amazing! Working with them felt so natural and for the first time I felt so beautiful in front of a camera! My makeup was a little messed up from happy crying at our ceremony and they assured me it would not be a problem. Sure enough we got the photos back and they were BEAUTIFUL. They looked so natural and I did not see any of the makeup flaws I had that day. I think it is important to also mention that having two photographers is a game changer! They caught some pretty incredible moments from all different angles during our reception and worked so well together to create some unique/beautiful photos. These ladies are incredible and we cannot thank them enough for catching the best moments from our day on camera! We will definitely be recommending them to everyone we know. Thank you both so much again!

My photography style is raw, emotional, timeless, and fun. Whether I’m photographing a tender moment between a couple or the spontaneous laughter during a celebration, I strive to capture the genuine connection and joy shared on your big day. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than freezing those fleeting moments so you can relive them for years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture your day as it unfolds, I’d love to chat!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Holly was immediately responsive & answered all our questions in detail. She was incredible at our engagement shoot & had even looked up several nearby parks to choose from, & looked at great locations within the 1 we chose to shoot our engagement photos. I was able to change outfits & my fiance/now husband & I felt totally comfortable despite it being our 1st time having professional photography focused on us with her down to earth & direct communication style. Our photos turned out gorgeous & classic. On our wedding day, we had a lot of unexpected things happen like wind & rain at our outdoor ceremony & photography session, but she handled it all with grace & got our photos done beautifully & timely with our wedding party & immediate family as we wanted. We did some outdoor portrait photos & got some adorable ones inside our bridal suite. It was relieving to see her there every step of our 8 hours we hired her for, including our pivotal dances, cake cutting, dancing, etc. She even went above & beyond her job by stepping in several times in several ways when our coordinator was completely forgetful & careless. She communicated with my Mom who was very high strung & quick tempered beautifully. My husband & I literally cannot thank her enough for how beautifully & peacefully she took care of our photos & us on our our wedding. Would recommend her 10x over.

It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

He was one of the kindest and most professional vendors that I had the pleasure of working with in my professional career. I began recommending him immediately after our event together. I hope to work with Michael in the future and bring our next couple's dream wedding to life.

Even when the lighting in our church ceremony was less than ideal, she put in so much extra time and effort to make them as good as they could be.

She has an artist's eye for lighting and composition that resulted in gorgeous photos we'll treasure for lifetimes. The images vividly convey the romance, joy and meaning of our wedding, capturing emotions we'll re-live each time we look through our album. We highly recommend Kelly to any couple wanting beautiful, creative, emotionally-resonant photography and an overall delightful experience with a dedicated professional who will make your wedding memories last.

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 with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

Awarded Best of Zola
We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

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!

When you start wedding planning, it is so overwhelming to decide on vendors when there are so many available. But we are so happy we chose Amanda to be our wedding photographer! My husband and I had never had professional photos done, and when we had our engagement photo session, Amanda helped us become more comfortable and photographed us naturally, while also giving us suggestions for poses and actions so she could get some great shots. We saw our engagement photos and they were so beautiful, we were so excited to have her photograph our wedding! Throughout the process, Amanda was always fast to respond and answered any questions we had. She even guided us on our wedding timeline and was so helpful since she has photographed so many weddings. On the day of our wedding - she fit in with all our friends and family for the vibe of our wedding - fun, relaxed, and loving! We appreciated that she listened to everything we wanted for our wedding photos, but also made suggestions for things that she knew she could photograph amazingly! Now looking at our photographs, we are blown away by how beautiful they are and how she captured the day and us as a couple. Thank you so much to Amanda for capturing our best day ever!

Hi, I'm Stephanie, owner and lead photographer at Stephanie Whitehill Photography. I have a BFA in art/photography from the University of Georgia, over 25 years experience in photography, and 15 years photographing beautiful weddings. I've had the honor of being published in the wedding issue of Virginia Living Magazine. I'm a wife, mother, hiker, artist, reader, baker, and aspiring golfer. I live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley with my husband, and my two energetic boys.

Stephanie was amazing to work with! She had excellent communication and was extremely flexible and understanding when it came to our day being moved. She made sure we got all the shots we wanted as well as many that came out better than I could have thought of! Within the first couple of pictures she took she showed me what it looked like from her side and I knew they would come out great. My entire family loved working with her and was so impressed with how she worked with us. The pictures came out wonderfully and I am so excited to have them displayed in our home. The day goes by so quickly and the memories she provided are priceless!

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.

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.

My husband and I got married in December 2022 and realized a bit last-minute that we needed a Rehearsal Dinner photographer! Amanda was so accommodating and scheduled a conversation before the big weekend to go over all of our photo dreams and logistics. Not only is Amanda warm, kind, and easy to work with, her photos are absolutely stunning! Her work is light and airy with an incredibly timeless feel. With all the excitement and nerves of wedding weekend, Amanda was the calming presence we needed before our Rehearsal! We loved her photos so much, that we scheduled a Christmas card/one-year wedding anniversary photoshoot with her one year later in November 2023, with two large pups in tow! We give our highest recommendation for Amanda and her work and we are so lucky to call her our new family photographer!
