Stokes is great at making the long wedding photo shoots an enjoyable activity! My husband hates taking photos and even he didn’t mind them! Stokes even got genuine smiles out of him. She’s also easy going, so if you don’t like something or want to try something different, she’s going to work with you. She just wants you to love your photos! I requested minimal editing, and our photos came out very natural, beautiful, and professional at the same time.

Purelyjoyous Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,450
  • Serves Fairfax, VA for additional fees

I’ve always loved photography. Yet, it wasn’t until 2008 when I began to travel internationally for work that decided to bring my Nikon D750. I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple. Share love, one image at a time.

Joe Appel Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Fairfax, VA for additional fees

So many times when I present a collection of images to a couple they'll find themselves overwhelmed with emotion. I've thought a lot about this and believe it's because so much happens so fast on a wedding day that your mind can only process a certain amount in the moment. When you see those authentic images that tell your story all of the information that your mind stored during your wedding is released. It's amazing how powerful images are. I am grateful to be able to give my couples photos that they'll treasure for life.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I loved every part of the process of working with Joe Appel! With all the components that go into wedding planning, we definitely appreciated the smooth and stress-free communication with Joe. He honored our wishes for the candid shots we wanted and managed to capture every big and small moment of our wedding without ever choreographing shots. Post-wedding, communication stayed consistent and smooth as he compiled beautiful albums for us. We saw Joe as a friend over a vendor the whole way through. Many thanks -- we're looking forward to another reason to hire him!!

I'm Meghan Ann Imagery! I'm an artist, storyteller, and lover of love. It's fitting I ended up as a wedding photographer, right? I'm based in Connecticut but wishing for the dream inquiries that will send me to Alaska, Colorado, or some place new.

Meghan was such a pleasure to work with and we kept saying over and over again throughout the wedding process, “We are so how grateful we booked her!” Literally you ask any of our family and friends what was the phrase we said the most throughout our wedding process was, “We absolutely love our photographer!” She made us feel relaxed throughout the entire process and truly helped us get not just the photos that we desired but BEYOND that. She is an absolute artist at finding the perfect shot and her positive attitude helps you feel at peace while you’re planning all the details of your wedding day. I can not recommend Meghan and her team enough. Absolute professionals!

Documenting you—exactly as you are—in your beautiful, natural, perfectly imperfect life. Focus on each other, not the lens. Enjoy what’s happening all around you and trust that the photographs will be just as true as what you’re experiencing.

Becca was a great photographer for our intimate microwedding. She was very flexible and worked with us on making our day perfect beforehand and day of when we were hit with some bad weather. She was fun and professional and made sure to capture all of the sentimental and important moments of our day. We received our photos quickly in an easily accessible album on her site and could not be happier with the number of photos and variety of shots we have received! I would absolutely recommend working with Becca to everyone.

** Inquiries are only accepted from the form on my website! It's the only way to ensure I received your inquiry. ** My name is Jes and I am the owner of Jessica Lynn Photography. Photography has been a passion of mine since high school where I began shooting with a pin-hole camera! I would like to say I'm joking but I'm actually serious. My style is crisp and clean, I love all things candid and lifestyle, and I’m not scared to play in the shadows. While I understand the importance of posing, there is something so beautiful in letting my subjects (that’s you) be themselves!

Jessica Lynn Photography captured our wedding day beautifully! Despite not meeting before the big day due to scheduling conflicts, Jessica made me feel at ease like reconnecting with an old friend. Her communication was clear, effective, calming, and sooo understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of Jessica's work is simply breathtaking - her photography style resulted in airy, stunning, fun images that we will cherish. I especially appreciated Jessica's attention to detail in photographing all of my requested people. She also bustled my dress in a flash! Having Jessica there made me feel calm and in good hands. She also gave us such a wonderful surprise by giving us Polaroids at the reception - I was blown away!!!!!! I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica Lynn Photography for your special event photography needs.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her. Kathleen makes you feel like an instant friend, and it's because you are! I absolutely recommend Kathleen.

Hi - I'm Lizzie! I am a story teller and professional hype woman who is dedicated to preserving your legacy through imagery. It is a privilege being trusted to photograph your wedding and it is not a responsibility that I accept lightly. I truly believe that the only things left after your wedding day are the photos and the marriage. Every couple has a unique story. I take the time to get to know my clients so that I can capture their wedding day in an honest and personalized way. I will work side-by-side with your wedding planner in order to create a custom, photo-friendly timeline that will ensure that my team captures every moment.

I spent a lot of time deliberating which photographer to choose. Lizzie Baker’s work really stood out. Her photography is truly a work of art and the passion comes across not only in her pictures but in how she engages with you end to end. Lizzie was one of my favorite vendors to work with and she truly made our wedding day better. We are delighted with how she captured our wedding, the scenery, and all the details and moments that you want to be able to look back on. Lizzie was always one step ahead of the program which was a huge benefit. She had great ideas for shots and her approach and personality kept us at ease during the planning process and throughout wedding day. Lizzie is not just an amazing photographer - she really is your hype woman, wedding day extraordinaire, and someone you will be happy to have at your side. People say you spend a significant amount of time with your photographer which proved to be true! We are so glad it was with Lizzie.

  • Serves Fairfax, VA for additional fees

When I went to college I knew I wanted to have a career that allowed me to work with people and so I studied Social Work and Psychology! Photography was a hobby but when my friend found her self with no photographer days before her wedding, she asked if I could shoot her day and from the first wedding I was hooked! 11 years later and I think I have the best job on the planet. I have been married to the love of my life Jordan for 6 years now and she is the extra magic in Swiger Photography. We have a lil rescue pup named Furgie and spend our free time trying new bourbons and exploring Philadelphia!

I have known Amanda both professionally and personally for several years, and when the time came to choose my own wedding photographer, there was no question that she was it. She is incredibly professional, personable, and has a way to bring the light out of every person who stands in front of her camera. She works with such ease and confidence that there was not a single moment that I felt stressed during our day, because I knew our moments were being captured. Leading up to the wedding, Amanda made sure that she really understood our vision for our day, and absolutely delivered! If you are looking for a photographer that can make even the most shy family member absolutely shine, who brings laughter and joy to your wedding, and who will unequivocally give her all to capturing your precious moments, you would be remiss not to hire Swiger Photography!

HI there! My name is Natalie and I own Natalie Kathryn Photo! I love having the privilege to capture you on the best day of your life! I absolutely love weddings and being able to be there for every part of your day!

Wedding photos were such an important part in planning my wedding. I wanted to make sure I was investing in something high quality and would match the editing style my husband and I prefer. Natalie and her teams photos are just that. While she was who did all our final edits, she was not able to be present on my wedding day. Instead two girls who she works closely with did my wedding photos. I was a bit nervous about this at first but after working with Natalie I put full trust that her recommendations would not let me down. We are so thrilled with our sneak peaks and are so glad we trusted this team. Everyone was so great in making sure we got the posed photos we wanted but also capturing moments as they happened. Looking forward to receiving our full gallery. If anyone is looking for bright and romantic photos, look no further.

Light and bright, timeless photographs and videos for weddings and couples. ND, New England & CA based, available for travel. I describe myself as kind of Type A, kind of Type B. When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mariah, with Mariah R. Photography and Film, was so amazing and made me feel like a true princess/queen on my wedding day. Prior to the wedding day, she communicated openly with me about everything and made sure I was ready to go. She provided me with example timelines to help plan my day which was extremely helpful!!! Before heading to my location, she had messaged me and asked if I needed anything before she arrived. Once Mariah had gotten there, she calmed my nerves, reassured me when my anxiety was heightened during the chaos, and communicated with me about every thing I needed. She captured my day perfectly. She was my number one supporter through the whole day! I just can’t boast about her enough. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend her to capture your special moments. You seriously won’t regret it.

  • Serves Fairfax, VA for additional fees

I’m a fun-loving, passion-chasing, curly-headed gal looking at life through a viewfinder. My happy place is anywhere outside of my comfort zone, but a nature-filled walk chatting up good company is a close second. If I’m not planning my next trip, or dreaming up something to cook for dinner, I’m outside trying to meet my Fitbit step goal. (10k club, anyone?) My latest leap of faith? A cross-country move to sunny Orange County, California. This isn’t the first time I’ve packed up and jetted away from my home state of Maryland: Germany, Singapore, and South Carolina make the list too.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I decided to elope last minute but we were not sure if we would find a photographer days before the big day. We contacted Alaina and told her the day; she responded promptly and was totally on board. During the portrait session she made us feel very comfortable. The session was fun, it went by fast, and she did a great job at capturing our feelings that day. Would definitely hire again.

Kanded LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Fairfax, VA for additional fees

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

I recently had an engagement session done with Kanded, and it was everything I could have asked for! I had a very specific vision in mind, and Kiersten and Enrique nailed it. From helping pick a location, doing camera tricks to help achieve the look I wanted (think dreamy vintage fairytale)- they were so helpful and attentive every step of the way! An added bonus is that you’re getting two photographers for the price of one, so you can’t go wrong booking with them :)

Hey there! I'm Alyssa - I'd describe myself as an easy-going, down to earth, nature-loving photographer that loves photographing joyful people and their relationships. Landscapes and natural ecosystems was where I started my photography journey, but I've found that what held the most meaning is in photographing the relationships around me. I am detail oriented, an organized planner, and adventure-seeking. When I'm not working on photos or photographing lovebirds, I generally still have my camera in hand but am out on the trail with my husband and two dogs. **Note that I am currently not booking weddings after January 2023.**

I HIGHLY recommend Alyssa Christine Photography! It has been an absolute joy working with Alyssa for our wedding. From the beginning, she was easy-going, organized and talented! My (now) husband and I felt so comfortable in front of the camera at our engagement session and we LOVE what she captured. We love how she captured the moment and has the most beautiful lighting. We knew we made the right choice! As we got closer to our wedding day, Alyssa helped create a very detailed timeline for the day which brought SO much peace of mind that everything was going to run smoothly. She was also very attentive, and captured pictures and details that were important to us. We loved getting sneak peeks of our special day and we cannot wait to see the full gallery. Our family and friends have been complimenting the photos we've been getting from Alyssa Christine Photography. We would absolutely love to have Alyssa take future photos for us and our family!

"Silva” LATIN FOR “FOREST” We chose that word because we love the authentic aesthetics and complexities of the forest and we would love to transfer that nature into your lifestyle portraits. This idea paired with our desire to follow an aesthetic consisting of earth tones and vibrant hues are elements that will define Silva Stills in a recognizable way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Silva Stills handled our engagement and wedding pictures, as well as my bridals - I worked very closely with Brooke throughout the entire wedding process and she was a pleasure to work with, very cheerful, professional and patient (especially on the day of the wedding with the BIG bridal/wedding party we had). She drove a long distance for the engagement session, bridal session and wedding day, she took into consideration the inspiration pictures I found and devoted a huge amount of time to me throughout the whole process, was always very quick to respond, and was very generous with her advice surrounding the wedding day, the timeline, (questions about sunsets) and reassuring me we would have enough time for pictures. Brooke with Silva Stills went above and beyond to make sure I had a stress-free wedding day, communicated with me as needed and promptly delivered pictures as they were edited. I had so many pictures I loved that I had 3 albums made up, as well as some canvases printed! What a wonderful value for the service provided and pictures received! And a special shout out because she stood outside with me in August (in Texas) for my bridals and sweated right along with me! ha! Highly recommend!

After nearly a decade of freelancing as a wedding cinematographer and photographer, I’m excited to have opened my own studio, dedicated to capturing love stories. While I originally came to the U.S. in 2015 for a Master’s in International Business, I discovered my true passion for documenting life’s most special moments. Weddings are about more than just beautiful shots—they’re about preserving raw, candid emotions. My goal is to capture moments you’ll cherish forever, so you can relive your wedding day for years to come.

Veil & Film was the perfect choice for our wedding photography and videography. From the beginning, their communication was efficient, precise and incredibly patient as we navigated the many details of our big day. On the wedding day, their team proved to be hardworking, creative and dignified in their approach. They were very accommodating when our timeline shifted, and if we requested specific themed photos, they had additional creative shots in mind on the spot which was so impressive. We were tearfully happy when we received the final photos and videos - it was like reliving the whole wedding all over again. We are currently expecting and will definitely be using Veil & Film to capture our baby shower as well. This amazing team truly helped make our special day unforgettable.

My name is Melissa Kelly! I am a Boston Metrowest based wedding photographer! I live in Grafton, MA with my wonderful husband and my two energetic boys! Photography has been a family hobby for my entire life! My father and I have always shared a special bond over our creative and artistic side and my maternal grandfather even had a dark room IN his home! It's in my blood! I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others!

Both my engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Melissa! Honestly, she was the best! (And it should be noted, I am picky with pictures haha) While "wedding planning" some people recommended I hire a videographer, but with Melissa's photos I didn't even need one! She captures every moment, even ones you didn't realize were being captured. It's like reliving my day every time I look at these photos. There is a lot of beauty in her editing, lighting, and angles. She gives you pose ideas too for those who are a little camera-awkward. Plus I got sooooo much positive feedback from wedding guest about how much they loved her the night of the wedding due to her amazing, fun personality, but then when they saw the outcome of the photos afterwards, everyone including my husband and I were (even more) impressed. I absolutely recommend Photography By Melissa Kelly. You will get beautiful photos and memories a genuine kind person to hang out with on your special day :) I honestly can't thank her enough, hands down!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

We cannot say enough positive things about Sweet Lime Photography! Loy was an absolute pleasure to work with. He suggested ideas that he felt would look great as well as listened to what we wanted to capture.

We worked with BarcStone Photography recently on an early-May 2022 wedding at our Tasting Room. Krista was thorough, asked good questions, took exceptional photographs of the couple as well as our property. BarcStone was pleasant to work with, informative, and easy to get a hold of. After working with BarcStone, we have happily added them to our Vendor List. Couldn't be more impressed with a photographer than Krista Stone of BarcStone Photography.

At Chelsey Rae Evans Photography, we offer intimate elopements, wedding celebrations, and engagement sessions. My goal is to create an elevated experience using intentional artistry and an editorial style that allows you to feel your best self while finding joy in effortless moments. I'm very easy going, and you'll never be pressured to be anyone but yourself! If you cherish your wedding day photos and want moments that wow while making you feel your natural, beautiful self, then we're the right fit! Think of documentary photos that set the scene and tell a story in a fashion-forward way.

John and I got engaged in our hometown but decided to do a destination wedding. We found dozens of photographers but Chelsey's photos really stuck out to us because it was exactly what we wanted. We reached out and she got back to us the next day (We messaged her at like 11 at night). From there on, she personalized the entire experience for us, all the way from meeting for the first time, planning our style and what we wanted, down to the exact fine details of specific shots that we wanted (And many more that she recommended) . I had no idea how detailed photography can be! But when our pictures came back, I simply could not believe the level of attention she took. Chelsey is not just great at what she does, she's very friendly and is truly genuine in caring about the people she works with. Girl... if I can nominate you somewhere, let me know. I'll fill that form out immediately! :)

It is my honor to capture the purest and most sincere moments in peoples’ lives. Not only do I take pride in providing my clients with stunning images, I do so in a way that is always professional and engaging. Weddings don’t always go exactly as planned. Sometimes there is bad weather, poor lighting, or the timeline just gets derailed. It happens! My clients know that they never need to worry. Dealing with surprises is second nature to me, and my career as a seasoned photographer allows me to never skip a beat. The details of your special day will always be captured beautifully.

Good communication and team work; exquisite photos

Bob & Dawn Davis Photography & Design

  • Serves Fairfax, VA for additional fees

We are blessed to photography many weddings & events around the world. We've had the honor to photograph many celebs as well. All our clients are a blessing & we know it’s an honor to be chosen to photograph their memorable event. We are grateful to all who has given us the privilege to work with them. We strive to tell our couple’s story & reflect their energy in each photograph. Like Elton John & Bernie Taupin, we work in two rooms: Bob is the principal photographer & handles all the logistics of our shoots. Dawn completes our vision by editing photos & making each image sing, then designs a fine art book to encapsulate the each story.

Bob & Dawn were nothing short of amazing to work with. My husband and I changed our wedding plans quite a bit, but decided to move forward with a small and intimate wedding on our original date. Bob & Dawn were so accommodating and easy to work with, they took a ton of stress off my plate. Every single picture from our day is perfect. Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time. Although I had a COVID wedding, you would truly never tell from our photos and everything I was hoping for was delivered by this dynamic duo. I know I will stay in touch with them over the years, and am grateful to have worked with them when I did!

We are Amy & Jackson Smith, a husband and wife team, who met through photography. We fell in love and got married in our own backyard right here in Charlottesville. We feel so fortunate to meet such genuine people and have the opportunity to tell their stories. Since 2014 we have shot over 150 weddings at more than 60 venues. We are based in Charlottesville, Virginia and love photographing weddings here as well as Richmond, Washington DC, and beyond.

My wife and I are beyond thrilled with the amazing photos Amy and Jackson from Smiths Photography took at our wedding in Florida! They did such an incredible job capturing all the special moments, and somehow they managed to capture the true personalities of each of our guests, too. Their talent is truly unmatched. The pictures are not just beautiful; they perfectly reflect the emotions and vibe of the day. Every shot is a work of art, and the quality is outstanding—vibrant colors and sharp details make each photo a real standout. Amy and Jackson were so professional yet so warm and friendly. They made sure to understand exactly what we wanted and then went above and beyond to deliver. They blended into the background while making everyone feel at ease, which really helped make the day even more special. We received our photos quickly and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We are incredibly grateful they were our photographers. If you’re looking for someone who captures not just the moments but the essence of your event, Smiths Photography is the way to go. Highly recommend them!

WHO I AM: Hey!! I'm Natalie, a wedding and elopement photographer from Lincoln, Nebraska who serves couples all around Nebraska, Arkansas, Colorado and everywhere in between and around! I have been photographing weddings for 4 years and am still counting. Whether I am behind the camera or not I absolutely love to travel. The days I am not behind the camera (or computer!) are spent with my fiance Trent and pups Milo & Clyde. Whether it's riding atv's or just hanging out on the couch, we enjoy both.

Natalie is amazing to work with and my wedding day was running behind and then just changed around and she kept with the flow it was nice to have a photographer who worked with you!
