Awarded Best of Zola
Megan Rei was the perfect photographer who made our engagement proposal so special. From beginning to end, Megan was a joy to work with. I contacted Megan through her website, and we had a great phone call that week to start planning. Megan was very flexible with the plans I had in mind, and she had really, really helpful tips about location, timing, and logistics for my surprise proposal. Megan was super responsive over email, was great about my changing dates in the month prior to the event, and we had a great call to finalize last details a few days before the event. On the day of, Megan's approach could not have been better. She arrived well in advance and had a great hiding place during the surprise proposal! During my fiance's and my proposals to each other, Megan took beautiful photos of us without us even knowing she was there, letting us truly enjoy the moment. At the same time she had really great ideas, after the proposals were over, about how to pose and create gorgeous shots. Megan's photos were crisp, beautifully framed, full of color, and had a variety of wide and close-up shots which we really appreciated. We even received a few photos from Megan the day after, which we loved! We received all the photos just a couple weeks later and we could not be happier. Megan is a truly talented photographer, super responsive, has great ideas to make any shoot a success, and her pricing is reasonable and transparent. We are already looking forward to doing a dog photoshoot with Megan next and hopefully working together on our wedding! We would recommend Megan to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a great person to work with.

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset!

Some people say I have a sixth sense when it comes to capturing the perfect moment. I'd say it because I love my job and have had a great deal of practice doing it.

Awarded Best of Zola
I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Sean. From the moment we contacted him, he was professional, warm, and dedicated to creating an amazing experience for his clients. I am normally very camera shy, but Sean was so easy to work with that he put me at ease immediately. And as a cherry on top, he sent our photos back within the week! When we were choosing wedding photographers, we wanted someone whose work would transport us back to our wedding day. His photos captured the small, intimate moments that we will treasure most about the happiest day of our lives- the laughs as the wedding party prepared together, the moment my father saw me in my dress for the first time, the roller coaster of emotions as we read our vows to each other, the rowdy dancing at the end of the night. I can look at a picture and remember exactly how I felt at that moment. To Sean, the photographer who captures joy- from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Know that you have created something special that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. It is clear that you take great pride in your work and it was truly wonderful to work with you.

I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

Beth is absolutely wonderful! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, every single picture is beautiful. Not only is Beth an amazing photographer, she is an amazing person! We enjoyed getting to know her and she will be a lifelong friend. We will remember our wedding forever thanks to her photography.

Hello Bride to be! This is such an exciting time for you! I'm Abbe and I am excited to get to know you! I'm a wedding & portrait photographer based outside of Philadelphia, serving Pennsylvania, New jersey, New York, Maryland, Virginia, DC and all of the nation! I believe getting to know my clients is the #1 way to ensure an awesome experience! My mission is to serve you with a joyful and abundant heart! I believe even the little moments should never be taken for granted and you should ALWAYS follow your dreams.

We first hired Abbe (on a whim, based on online reviews) to take our engagement photos in Philadelphia, and it was an amazing experience! She made us feel incredibly comfortable, and she was flexible in terms of location. We initially considered taking photos by the water, but we realized we wouldn't have enough time to walk over to catch the sunset, so we did the shoot in Elfreth's Alley and it was perfect. Abbe was so friendly and fun and took the time to get to know us. She made us feel like we'd already known her for years. She was also really COVID-conscious knowing that I was at high risk; she managed to keep distance while still getting great shots of us. We loved working with Abbe for our engagement photos so much that we decided to hire her right off the bat as our wedding photographer as well! Abbe has a variety of wedding packages but she made a custom package for us because we had a tighter budget and specific needs (e.g., we live in New York, we didn't need a second shooter, etc.). Because we had an out-of-town wedding, we paid a hotel fee for her as well but she was really thoughtful in trying to get a lower-cost option. It really meant a lot to us. Her communication is always timely and efficient. We had so many questions, but Abbe was VERY patient and answered them all, always putting our needs and concerns first. Before the wedding, she had a long call with us to iron out details of the big day. We had a really tight timeline and it initially seemed impossible that we would be able to fit everything in — but Abbe made it happen! She was right on time on wedding day and got to work immediately. You can tell that Abbe is an expert in wedding shoots and has done this hundreds of times over. She took more than a thousand photos total and captured all of the shots we wanted. If you're camera-shy, don't worry — Abbe will tell you exactly what to do! She will fluff up your dress, she'll personally hold onto your lipstick so it's ready whenever you need it, and she will make sure you glow in all of the photos. She also has a photo questionnaire to make sure she has everyone's names down. She does her best photography work during the daytime, with natural lighting. (We were in an indoor venue with low lighting so our nighttime photos were taken with flash, but they were very clear and bright.) Abbe is incredibly energetic and fun to be around. She has a very dry sense of humor and cracks a lot of jokes, which as a couple we often enjoyed and found to be entertaining. Because we'd worked with Abbe during our engagement, it felt really nice to have her on our wedding day, someone we were already familiar with who was able to guide us through a nerve-wracking but exciting day. Overall, we really loved Abbe's work and we're so glad we got to work with her as our engagement and wedding photographer. We highly recommend doing both with her!

If you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins enough!! We hired Stephanie at the recommendation of a friend - and I’m so glad we did!! Putting aside the fact that her photos are STUNNING (which they are), Stephanie had such a relaxing and fun presence that she made taking wedding photos a good time! It’s so clear in both her attitude and her work that she loves what she’s doing, and that makes the whole experience 1000x better. On top of that, her work is simply gorgeous. She has such an eye for angles and poses that really comes through in the photos. Stephanie also sent us a sneak peak gallery the day after the wedding (which is not the norm!), which was so nice and let us relive some of our favorite moments the next day! Stephanie was responsive, professional, and best of all TALENTED. Again, if you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, hire Stephanie!!!

He has an eye for things that most people wouldn't have seen. I've had the pleasure of getting to work with him several times now and he's so kind and has such a calming presence which is exactly what you want from your wedding photographer/videographer! I'm currently helping my sister plan her wedding and when she got engaged he was the first vendor I sent to her to look at. She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video. His ability to tell a story both in photograph and video is remarkable. As a wedding photographer, if I had to redo my wedding day, I would without a doubt have Steve there to capture it.

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!

My name is Caledonia, and I'm the passionate Lead Photographer here at River Songs Photos. We are a team of two full-time artists obsessed with capturing your once-in-a-lifetime moments. As a wife and husband team; we are romantics dedicated to telling your love story through your big day! Each Wedding Gallery we create is captured with your vision in mind; edited and curated to weave the narrative of your romance. We are more than photographers - we are storytellers, painting with light, color, and movement. When the decorations are gone, and the food is eaten - all you'll be left with are the photos telling your story. Leave that to us!

River Songs was so great to work with. They were so accommodating with our unusual wedding, photographing our wedding ceremony, wedding hike, and creekside picnic. They captured all these special moments even though it was not the easiest environment to navigate with photography equipment. They went above and beyond, trekking through the woods and getting into the creek to take breathtaking photos. I love how they didn’t put a time limit on the day and stayed until they felt that they captured our story. We are so grateful for their work and look forward to having them take photos for us in the future. I absolutely recommend them to anybody in need of a photographer.

As a Wedding Planner I've worked with Special Capture several times for weddings and each time the clients have been satisfied with their finished videos. Marlon and his team (he always brings 2 if not more videographers to the wedding) help coach the wedding party for fun poses and shots and keep everyone laughing. Special Capture is not the "fly on the wall" type of videographer, they will be in the action capturing every detail even on the dance floor which makes for some awesome videos.

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

Hey! It's me- your friendly neighborhood photographer! I am a Pisces. They say we're romantic and creative souls, so I guess it was written in the stars that I'd become this person. If you're into enneagrams, I am a 4- but this is new territory for me so I am not sure how I feel about that yet. They say I am good at this photography stuff and people seem to like me, so here I am!

Celeste is the absolute best at what she does. She is professional and detail oriented but also able to maintain a close relationship and have fun with her clients. I was a massive skeptic on professional photography- as me and my soon to be husband did not like being in-front of the camera. However, Celeste was so easy to open up with and not only was the experience to die for- she makes excellent company. My fiancé and I have grown close to Celeste and we look forward to our plans with her in the future. She is kind and open minded. She is punctual and flexible. She is witty and professional. Celeste has worked with my family and I to make sure that she makes it happen. My maternity photo location ended up being inaccessible the day of our session- and Celeste went above and BEYOND anything I could have asked if her. She set up a glamping tent on her OWN property and made magic with the circumstances we were given. She did my maternity photos in November of 2022, our first family photos in August of 2023, and will be not only photographing but a GUEST at our wedding in March of 2024. If you are new to professional pictures- or just looking for a breath of fresh air - I could not more passionately suggest anybody than Celeste.

Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

My fiancé and I have worked with Yelitza twice and both experiences have been fantastic! She has made us both feel extremely comfortable both times and had great communication with us both times. During our first session she photographed us with our 6-month-old puppy who is very energetic she was very patient with him and was able to get great group shots of all of us.

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

Nichole was a dream to work with. She showed up early and came ready to work. Not only was she helpful during the couples ceremony, she also helped me tremendously with the family photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, and personable photographer.

Hi! I'm Kelly. A mom to two sweet girls and wedding photographer in Northern Virginia! First, congratulations!! You are in such an exciting time of life. I know wedding planning comes with a lot of excitement and A LOT of choices. It's my honor to document this important day in your life!

Such a talented photographer with an eye for the small details. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, she is the one to trust with your special day. Kelly was able to capture all the intimate details and beautiful shots at the venue. Some of my favorite pictures are the getting ready pictures of me and my bridesmaids. Shes great with direction so if you’re like me and don’t know how to pose, she will direct you to a flawless photo. My favorite part of her photography style is how comfortable she makes you feel, you forget you’re posing and just have a great time with her! Cannot recommend her enough! She’s also very timely in photo delivery and quality.

I’m a mother to an adventurous little boy, a personable little girl, and wife to an amazing man! Loving these three in my life started my venture in stumbling across photography. I’ve always been fascinated by it, and found myself studying it in many forms. It didn’t take long to realize this profession would allow me to be myself: passionate, fun, and bold! I came to a crossroad after my son was born of whether I should return to work or pursue my passion with photography. Let’s just say I took a jump and went into business around 2012. It’s been a daring journey with the most awesome clients ever!

Maria is the best photographer I have had the privilege to work with. From before/during/after our wedding she made every step special and magical. Our family and bridal party LOVED her and the humor/fun personality she brought to group photos. We love Maria and cannot wait to work with her in the future.

NO RULES. JUST FUN. Wedding days are awesome. There’s you, the rad couple who has decided to take the big leap. And there’s the cake, the vows, the friends and family, the toasts and all the love. (Did I mention cake?) Even though weddings can be awesome, they can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With Awesomesauce Photography, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing. I want you to actually enjoy partying with your friends and eat the awesome meal you have meticulously chosen, not spend it taking portraits for hours. With me, there are no rules. Just fun.

Hello my name is Mirabela, I am a wife, a mom and a woman on the go. Standing still is not in my nature! Many might wonder how did you come up with that name? Well my first born, was my inspiration, my drive. Sofia for the longest time couldn't pronounce the letter S and she would call herself Fofia. She has thought me to be a better person and made me a new me. The Sailboat on my logo represents my son Hunter known as Captain Hunter. There is many ways to look at things, and what of a better way other than capturing those angles with my camera. I don't just capture pictures, I capture a story, Your Story!

I've worked Hands-On with Maria. She was extremely professional and Goofy and funny she made the experience extremely fun. If I had the chance to work with her again I 100% would. She's an extremely creative photographer and makes her clients feel so welcome and comfortable. Have him a chance to work with her has been an amazing experience and has really grown my own work. I cannot be more thrilled with the experience I gained working with her.
