I’m based in Richmond, Virginia. I grew up in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and being at home with my family is my ultimate happy place. I specialize in natural-light photography and my passion is capturing special moments between you and your loved ones.

Rather than focusing on an artistic vision or the latest trends, I focus on creating timeless, chic, and clean images. My favorite weddings are the ones where classic meets modern and fashion-forward. So, with an eye for detail, a passion for weddings, and over a decade of experience, I see the balance of creating art and preserving priceless memories as a welcome challenge. And I don't cut any corners. The result? Timeless and elegant images full of natural light, dreamy colors, and beautiful textures. And forever keepsakes that remind you of this beautiful day.

I want to tell your story. I am a mix of Documentary and Editorial style of Photography. I want my photos to be a piece of art you hang on your wall. Or an album you pass down to your children and your grandchildren. I believe location is a very important element in telling your story. I am willing to travel, hike, take a boat, whatever I need to do to arrive at the location that inspires and represents you.

I am an experienced photographer in the Richmond, VA area, most recently named Richmond's Most Loved Photographer of 2020, 2021 & 2022. There is nothing I love more than watching my clients families grow as the years go by or watching two people express their love for one another at a wedding ceremony. Capturing those milestones means the world to me and I feel as though that passion shows through in my creative but natural photography style.

As time passes I want you to look back through all your photographs and have all of those memories come pouring back into your mind. The moments of love, celebration, joy, the stuff you never want to forget. I'm here to help you cherish your once-in-a-lifetime love story, and celebrate your greatest achievements, and adventures! I want to celebrate it all with you!

I believe in loving and laughing and taking full advantage of the time we've been given. I'm a smile at strangers, hold the door open, start a conversation in an elevator type of girl. But believe it or not, I'm a bit of an introvert as well. I crave solitude, naps and pizza on the regular. But hey, I'm a wife, mom of three teenagers and business owner, so solitude, naps and pizza are like staples for sanity, right? I find my peace in the mountains. I travel any chance I get. And I mean ANY chance. Hot tea gets me excited and I could live in the bathtub or shower. Oh and cheese. If you need to know something about me, know cheese. 

The biggest failure at the end of our lives would be trading our intimacy for our fears in light of playing it safe. This season of your lives may make you feel unwelcome and even excluded as dive into your wedding research.

We're a team of people loving, color-addicted, and moment-captured wedding photographers based in DC with over 300 weddings of experience. We've shot stories in over 20 countries and 30 states.

Born & raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I've been capturing love stories for over 15 years. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 10 years, and raising our two sweet boys on this little sandbar we call home is a dream come true. While we are based on the OBX, we happily serve couples on the Outer Banks and Beyond, and enjoy spending the winter months in Costa Rica. We have a large focus on coastal weddings, and are heavily involved in the sport fishing & commercial fishing industry, and many of our couples have a love of the water.

Hello, I am Alexius. I was born and raised right here in the good ole North Carolina. I live in Raleigh now, but I was raised in a small town of "Midway" (right outside of Winston-Salem). I found my passion for photography about five years ago and still amazed at the places that my little camera has taken me. I am even more amazed at the friends I have made while pursuing my passion for photography and filmmaking. I can promise that I will always be your biggest cheerleader. I will guide you throughout the whole process. I want my couples to walk away with not just great pictures, but with a wonderful client experience.

My name is Myles Katherine. I'm a photographer to my core and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to do what I love! Through my job, I have met so many incredible couples, artists, models, families and friends. After living in Portland, Oregon from 2012-2019, I relocated to Richmond, Virginia. However, I'm open to traveling anywhere and everywhere! I cannot make it through the day without coffee, my cat and (obviously) my cameras. I'm looking forward to being a part of your unique love story and capturing it in a beautiful, unconventional way. -Myles Katherine

Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images when I capture them. I live for the authentic moments... the raw emotions of the day. The tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your parents before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do". Those are the moments I promise to capture! I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind.

Please shoot me an email me or dm on instagram to chat further.

I've given you little prompts on things to do so you can focus on the people and things you love not me with my giant camera.

Hi! I’m Alex, your local Blue Ridge baby. I’ve been chasing this Virginia light for as long as I can remember. There is something magical about the land, how the light hits the Shenandoah, the greens in the spring, and the rivers around us.

I believe every journey is enchanting, that time is fleeting, and life is a beautiful crazy mess. I am here to preserve the raw beauty of your love. I am for the venturesome, for the lovers, for the real magic that your story creates. Let me take you on an adventure!!!

Steve and I met in March, 1999 on Match.com. We were married on September 2, 2000 at the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. We became a photography team in 2007. I had already been photographing weddings on my own, but someone was missing. I am not complete without Steve. My photography is the same. I love working with my husband. We can be on opposite sides of a ceremony, look at each other and just know what the other will do. Many of our couples love our height difference. I'm 5'1". Steve is 6'4". You will literally get two very different perspectives for the exact same moment.

It is important to find someone whose work you LOVE — but I also believe that it is just as important to find someone who will bring out the best of who you are within those photos. My favorite quote from Annie Leibovitz is “a thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.” This resonates with every aspect of what I believe in. I find it important to get to know you, find out who you are and what you both are to each other. Photography is my passion — I will never give you anything but my all.
