When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

“Wow can’t say enough amazing things about this photographer, he truly was one of the highlights of our wedding. Don’t walk to book him run! He was super focused, detail orientated, bilingual, fun and laid back. He captured so many incredible behind the scene moments and my family kept saying we didn’t even see him take that picture. We were nervous about not knowing how to pose. He made us so comfortable and had amazing poses. He captured intimate moments of our families reactions during the ceremony, speeches and partying. He helped the day flow so well and we couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures were. The turn around time for the pictures was also super fast. We had a bad experience with a photographer prior who ended up being a scammer and he truly saved our wedding day!! Thank you!”

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

Sophia was extremely professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day - she was organized, responsive, and helped us feel at ease. On the wedding day, she captured so many beautiful candid moments with her vibrant, creative style. The colors and lighting in both our portraits and reception photos are gorgeous and realistic. We were so excited when we got our sneak peek photos - they perfectly capture the joy and love from our special day. We can't wait to receive the full photo package and relive more memories.”

Hey - I’m Tillie! Does someone putting a camera in your face make you cringe? Me too! I know having your photo taken can be awkward and uncomfortable. I take my time to get to know my clients and their photo goals prior to their wedding day.

“Words cannot fully express how pleased we are with both our engagement and wedding photos from Tillie. Back in 2022, Tillie willing drove two hours and hiked a steep trail just to capture our surprise engagement photos at Ohiopyle. We loved the final photos so much that we asked her to do our wedding in 2025! What stands out most about Tillie is not just the quality of her work, but the experience of working with her. She brings the perfect blend of diligence, professionalism, organization, and calm - which makes big days, like weddings, far less overwhelming and stressful. She photographed our wedding for nine hours straight and delivered over 900 gorgeous photos that reflected our vision perfectly. Even after the wedding, her dedication to quality continued. She was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and timely with every edit we requested - despite having many other projects in queue. We asked her to lighten some photos and remove some tricky shine from nighttime flash photos. She perfectly executed these requests and completed them in less than a day. Tillie is an exceptional artist and an even more exceptional person. Her photos allowed us to relive the most special days of our lives - including a few moments we may have missed. If you are looking for a kind, easygoing, and incredibly talented photographer, we would highly recommend Tillie for all your photography needs!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“We absolutely loved working with Maria for our engagement and wedding photos! We knew from looking at her portfolio for the first time and after we connected over the phone that we’d found exactly the right person to capture our celebration. From in-person meetings to Zoom syncs, our partnership with Maria immediately felt comfortable and collaborative. Maria brought warmth and her expertise to the table, while we brought our personalities and our vision to capture the vibrance and energy of our wedding day. There are three main elements that I want to highlight from working together with Maria: 1. Our rainy day engagement shoot in Brooklyn - despite us being based in Brooklyn, NY and our wedding venue and Maria both being located in the greater Washington, DC area, Maria made her way up to NYC and graciously did an engagement shoot with us capturing shots in some of our favorite places around Brooklyn. At first we were a bit worried when we saw that rain was in the forecast for our shoot day, but Maria assured us that the rain would only add to the romanticism of the shoot and she was absolutely right and truly delivered great shots. Not only that, she was great at directing us and making us feel relaxed throughout the entire session. 2. Maria’s unique proposal for our wedding day shoot - we connected with Maria nine months prior to our wedding, but she’s a sought after photographer! She was already booked on our wedding date, so she suggested an alternative for us to still be able to leverage her services and her editorial eye: she would suggest another trusted photographer to take raw photos on the day of our wedding, while she would still own all of the planning, coordination, and editing of all of our wedding photos so our images still got the Rise & Roam treatment. 3. Our wedding photos - Maria was highly communicative and phenomenal at making sure she understood what we were looking for in our shots. She made sure that our day-of raw photographer was aligned with our vision as well. (Shoutout to Sarah Mattozzi for being such a great day-of photographer and for partnering with Maria on our unique photography setup! Loved working with Sarah!). Just a few days after our wedding, Maria sent us a bunch of preview photos from the shoot and we were immediately struck by how well they turned out. Once we got the full album drop, we were so happy with all the images!! Maria captured the spirit, energy, and fun that was such a core part of our wedding celebration! Overall, I would highly highly recommend Maria to capture your own special day because she did a phenomenal job on capturing our celebration!”

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!”

I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

“Maria was absolutely amazing to work with through every part of the process and I have absolutely no regrets. I wanted my wedding pictures to be soft and colorful and warm, and I could tell from her portfolio that she was able to make these beautiful scenes in almost any location. I was hard for me to find a photographer so was able to work with us to accommodate a packed 18 hours wedding day with two ceremonies and a reception, but Maria had lots of experience with Indian weddings and inter-cultural weddings so it was so easy to come to an agreement! When we first met with her over Zoom, my now husband and I expressed that we were a little concerned about how well we would come across on camera, since I usually feel awkward. But during our engagement session, Maria was so fun and gave clear direction so we ended up not only with some beautiful engagement pics, but also having a great time! On the day of the wedding, her team was so professional, prepared and funny! They were great at having us relax and have fun in the moments even with a busy schedule. They were also ready with a camera at all times and were able to catch pictures of so many quick moments during the Hindu ceremony. They found great locations to take pictures in front of, and the pictures turned out so amazing I can't even believe them! Maria even hand sewed part of my sleeve ruffle back on when it popped off just before the ceremony without hesitation. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and team, and I would happily work with her again for any future big life events :) Take a look at the photos if you want the proof!”

We're a happily married Pittsburgh couple that met in a philosophy class in college (both Saint Vincent grads.) We instantly bonded over our love for philosophical debate and adventure. We are obsessed with what we do for a living and have been shooting together since we met. We offer both Photography and Videography services, and are skilled hybrid shooters.

“Our experience with Devan and Kaleigh was nothing short of incredible. The weather was less than perfect and that did not slow them down nor stop their shine. They made everything so much less stressful and made it fun. The final product was everything I wanted and could not wait to showcase and show off! They are a breath of fresh air on a stressful day, highly recommend.”

I'm a professionally-trained journalist turned self-taught wedding, elopement and portrait photographer based in Clarksburg, West Virginia. I have been so honored to have captured more than 175 weddings & travel across the country to photograph couples in love. My style relies heavily on natural and candid moments, I want your images to transport you back to that special day as it was— the laughs, the goofy glances, that hand squeeze from Grandma, or the tears you share with your partner when you see each other for the first time. To me, photography is a lot more than just pretty photos — it's an experience and a real part of your day.

“Kailee is an absolute delight to work with, and we are so fortunate to have her work to preserve our wedding! From our engagement session to the last reception photo, she made it so easy to relax and be ourselves in front of the camera. In addition to direct support with timeline planning for our day, she provided wonderful and detailed resources that I found myself using constantly in the months leading up to the wedding. Looking through our final gallery feels like a warm hug from a perfect day!”

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

“Anna is absolutely incredible and such a pleasure to work with. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work is absolutely phenomenal as well. I have never been so pleased with a photographer before! Her editing is beautiful and she really can just capture emotions in her photos. Her photography became my favorite aspect of my wedding. She did not only our wedding photos, but a few other shoots as well, including our engagement photos. She is honestly the only person I would trust/recommend to capture your sweet wedding memories. I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how much I cherish the photos that she has taken for the special moment in our lives.”

Those photos are once in a lifetime photos and that's exactly what I'm all about - capturing the real you in that special moment. That is a gift that you will cherish for a lifetime and lifetimes after that.
