My philosophy is pretty simple: tell the most amazing love stories through photographs that capture true love, real emotion and beautiful moments. As a photographer, my job is to tell your love story the way that it unfolds. I believe in preserving the moment with artistry and authenticity. I want your photographs to be timeless and beautiful. From the big moments to the subtle details, I give each element equal attention and care. If it matters to you, it’s important to me, and that commitment will shine through in every image.

The Inmans Photo and Video were an absolute joy to work with! From the moment we put an inquiry in to the actual day, they were nothing short of amazing to work with! While we didn't have Ashley and Camden (the owners) for our big day, their team was incredible.

Wanting to make sure I documented every little thing he did so I could remember years after was important to me. That turned into what is Holly Johnston Photography today. My passion is to document all of the moments through out your day so you can remember them years after, when you look back at your photos. I want you to be transported back to that day and remember all of the emotions and love.

Stephanie and her husband are so wonderful. They recently covered my wedding and I couldn’t be happier! The sneak peak we got the day after the wedding has great pictures, and their personalities made the day even better. Stephanie knows how to take charge to get everything done quickly and efficiently, but in a very pleasant and kind way. I would like to especially shout out her husband for the help he provided on the day. He was holding my water, extra shoes, flowers, etc while doing our posed photos which made everything so much easier and calm for me. But even more important in my opinion, he rushed (literally ran) to my mom’s aid when she fell onto concrete immediately before we walked down the aisle. Everyone else had already walked down the aisle to the ceremony, so there was no one around that we knew, and he jumped right in to take care of her. For that act alone I could never thank these two enough. This review is getting long, but all in all, I recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

Abbe Foreman Photography

Conshohocken, PA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Emporia, VA

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!

Sharon Elisabeth Photography

Hello! I’m Sharon and I own Sharon Elisabeth Photography. I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Awarded Best of Zola
What an incredibly talented and genuinely caring professional! My new husband and I had a truly amazing experience, from start to finish, while working with Sharon. We were so excited for her to photograph our wedding after getting our beautiful engagement photos back and she did not disappoint – far from it! Her communication with us over time eased much of my anxiety, as well, as we had the opportunity get to know each other more and design the perfect shot list for our big day. From getting ready early on to the conclusive reception send-off, her creative eye captured our love for one another and allowed our joy to shine through in every photo. She even got down in the grass herself, multiple times, to get that perfect angle. We were extremely impressed with the coordination and partnership between Sharon and her assistant photographer, and their efficient use of the time we had to take a long list of desired shots in between our ceremony and reception, as well. Take it from a naturally awkward and uncomfortable person – your photographer can make a giant difference on your wedding day. Finally, I must mention the fact that my husband’s mother passed away nearly three weeks after we were married, and upon learning of this, Sharon created an online gallery with some of the photos from our wedding that featured his mother in such a beautiful way. Being able to share some of these at her funeral and commemorate her joy from that day was invaluable and so appreciated. The two of us are so very grateful that Sharon came so highly recommended by our reception venue’s staff and would not have changed a single thing!

I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up being in front of a camera doing pageants and modeling. I know what it is like to have no direction at a photoshoot and leave disappointed. I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had nothing short of a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She was very helpful and coordinated in planning the photo schedule, and made sure that everything happened on time despite certain delays! Stephanie was always polite and professional, easy to work with, fairly priced, and flexible (we had to have a relatively late notice change of venue). And finally, the photos were beautiful!

David with D.S. Photography was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. He has great communication skills and is very easy to talk to.

Where to even begin?! We met Coby at a bridal show and she was so warm and open right from the beginning. We met for coffee and discussed how we wanted our wedding to be, and we just knew she was who we wanted as our photographer. She helped with planning so when our wedding day arrived, it was simply perfect! We woke up the day after our wedding to beautiful sneak peeks and our whole wedding album was complete a few weeks later. The whole process was simply amazing!

We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

We had the most amazing experience with Him & Her Photography! Josh and Alisha did both our engagement and wedding photography and went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!

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.

I’m originally from New York, and shortly after moving down south I found myself falling in love with a country boy and made the New River Valley, VA my home. I have had a passion for photography since I was a child, and when I finally decided to take the leap into my own photography journey I was very lucky to have the support of family, friends and other professionals. I’ve had the opportunity to have some amazing mentors along the way and have soaked up everything they took the time to teach me.

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... 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. Our latest photography session was a rooftop city session and the photos came out absolutely amazing again! I would highly recommend Yelitza!

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.

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!

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.

Amanda came to us highly recommended and we scheduled the only day that worked well with our schedules. Unfortunately for us, the day was less than picturesque. A dense fog covered the area and I thought there was nothing that could be done except moving the shoot inside. Boy, was I wrong. Amanda has the artistic eye that I clearly lack, because what I saw as gloomy, Amanda saw as artistic. We went through our shoot without a hitch and, a moment with the love of my life, artistically frozen in time, hangs on a canvass in my living room for all who visit to see. I’d recommend her final product and thorough process to anybody.

There are no words to describe the breathtaking photos that we received back from our October 14, 2023 wedding!! Every single picture is stunning and there isn’t one single picture that we (even a little bit) don’t like. Hannah and her SIL showed up and quickly got to work. That day it was raining from dawn until the start of the ceremony and they showed up with smiles and raincoats to get every shot imaginable. They not only captured the sentiments of us but also captured the party and joy in everyone else there.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Indie Bird Photo is the greatest of all time- I cannot recommend them highly enough! Above all else, Nate and Emma are both genuinely great people who are an absolute joy to be around on your wedding day (and otherwise.) They photographed our engagement session, our wedding, and even joined us for our rehearsal dinner- and each time, it felt like working with our friends. Most importantly, their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. They are both extremely talented, experienced, and they captured our wedding in the most beautifully authentic way. They brought my dream of candid/documentary style/old school film/black and white photos to life with such ease. Nate sent us a sneak peak gallery within 24 hours of our wedding- which legitimately moved me to tears. I was blown away by the way that Nate and Emma shared all of our joy and excitement and documented it all in the most beautifully artistic photos. It was so meaningful to be able to see (and share!) our photos that quickly. Our families/friends/other vendors/my coworkers, etc. cannot stop gushing about how beautiful the photos are- and we've only seen a few!

Hi! I'm Kimie. I'm a Sagittarius/Capricorn based in Richmond, Virginia where I live in a cute little house with my husband (of 4 months!) Ben, and our two perfect puppies, Millie and Babe. I dance to my own beat and sing my own tune.

We were so excited to work with Kimie after seeing her work on Instagram and being referred to her by our wedding planner. She is super sweet and down to earth, and when we had our initial meeting I felt like I'd known her forever, she was that easy to talk to. For someone who has only been focusing on video for a few years (she started with just photography) Kimie is incredibly skilled. She captured all the special moments and made us look like superstars in our own movie (which, let's be honest, is what we all want lol). And what really made us Kimie's #1 fans was that she stayed through the entire reception even though she was only booked until about 8:30pm. She was able to catch the best of the dance party and our exit, which I was originally bummed about not getting video of but was such a nice surprise. We are in love with our videos and watch them over and over again, and every night our baby girls are like "Mommy! Video!". Book Kimie! (Married 5/21/22)

Hi! My name is Lydia. I'm based in Nashville, TN. My photography style is light, bright and true to life. My goal is to make you feel at ease in front of the camera and provide photos that you can cherish for the many years to come. We will always take traditional posed photos but I'm drawn to the candid moments. I love to capture the moments that show off what makes you unique.

Lydia and her assistant Lanie photographed our wedding at my grandparent’s house. They were both prompt, friendly, professional, and they took the most BEAUTIFUL photos!! All of our guests enjoyed interacting with them, and I am seriously going to have a hard time narrowing down my top favorites because the photos are just fantastic. Lydia even delivered our gallery ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her :)

Caitlin & Devon are a husband/wife photo/video team dedicated to making your wedding day one to savor and cherish forever! Just like you, Caitlin & Devon are planning their own wedding and know exactly what it's like to be in this season of life. By offering custom package options and a guiding hand throughout your wedding experience, you're sure to be left with a positive experience and a gallery full of precious memories! Caitlin started her photography journey in 2017, straight out of high school, and Devon joined her full-time in 2020, They absolutely adore each of the 150+ weddings they've been able to capture and each couple they meet!

When I say that this was THE MOST worthwhile money spent on our wedding, I mean it. Caitlin and Devin were absolutely above and beyond what I ever could have expected as photographers. Not to mention there are two of them! While Caitlin spent time with me pre-ceremony, Devin was with the groomsmen, so we have amazing photographs of both getting ready areas and double the pictures of the ceremony and reception. Both of them worked far beyond what a photographer could be expected to do and filled in gaps that I didn't even know I had in the planning. Truly cannot recommend them enough, they captured the very best in our day.

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.

Couldn't recommend Sam enough if you're looking for someone to capture your engagement, elopement, wedding, or just take beautiful pictures of your family! Sam helped me plan and coordinate the most amazing proposal in Rocky Mountain National Park. I received the ring for my now fiancé earlier than expected and decided to propose to her while in Colorado that weekend. It was a last-minute change of plans, so I reached out to Sam to help make it happen. Sam went above and beyond to help organize a beautiful location, timeline, and cover story to get dressed up for pictures in RMNP. She even helped friends of ours to coordinate travel and lodging to fly out and celebrate with my fiancé and I after the proposal. Sam did all of this in the background while I was on a trip with my SO and trying to make sure she didn't get suspicious. When the day came, the location was beautiful, and Sam accounted for all of the details I never would've considered (lighting, weather, park traffic, bringing champagne and hand warmers, etc.). All I had to do was focus on the proposal. Our pictures turned out incredibly, and my fiancé was blown away by the whole day. I highly recommend Sam if you're looking for someone to go above and beyond to not just take beautiful pictures, but also help you plan all the details of your most important events.

A little about me: I'm an introverted wife and mama of three adventurous kids. I like to be silly, joke and have fun. I am an animal lover! When I'm not working I like to fish, hike, kayak and explore with my family. I enjoy reading and listening to true crime podcasts. ​ Most of all I love making new friends. I hope to see ya around!

Not only is Ashley kind, sweet, & patient, she is also very hard working & has a deep passion for what she does! My sweet dog was really old and she took the best pictures of him that I get to enjoy for life. Of course come my wedding day, instantly I knew I wanted her there! We got married at a park and then had our reception somewhere else. She was very willing to go on a short hike to get our mountain pictures, drove 30 minutes to our reception, and got every single detail!!!!! She was also very helpful during the wedding! 100% best Photographer hands down!

Our engagement photo experience with Mary was exceptional! We were able to go to 3 different locations and Mary made it so easy with a full itinerary and plan. We felt so taken care of. On top of that Mary made us comfortable in front of the camera and ourselves. We absolutely love the photos she took of us and will treasure them forever. So excited for our wedding day with her by our side. We cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Mary!!

SO HERE’S THE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW: You have to connect with me for this to work. I love deep, personal conversations and lazy Sunday mornings with my husband. My passion for sociology shapes my work. I collect hobbies and cherish unnoticed moments. I live in romantic light, where creativity and play are essential.
