Beautiful moments full of light and color! Whether you’re getting ready before your big day, having an intimate first look, or dancing the night away with family and friends, every moment of your wedding day is as beautiful as the next. I want to capture these special moments in their truest, most authentic, and most honest form. I’m based in Roanoke, Virginia, however, I love to travel and explore new places!

I dropped out of college to pursue photography back in 2014 and haven't looked back since. I'm an introvert at heart, but I come alive when I'm photographing what I love. I enjoy sipping coffee, exploring new places, board games, and creative projects.

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session. We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with 750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more. When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day.

Nancy Luna Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Fairfax, VA

I am a Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, and Richmond Wedding and portrait photographer. I love bringing joy by serving others. I found that through this gift of photography, it’s a way to express the love I have for people and it’s truly an honor to capture those moments that are once in a lifetime. To me, photography is more than taking photos, it's being a supportive friend throughout your day. It’s a privilege to have your trust and it's not something I take lightly. When delivering your gallery, there's no words to describe how I feel knowing this is a piece of history for you and your loved ones

From the first consultation phone call, Nancy was clearly organized, prepared, and invested in capturing the special moments of our wedding. She asked all the right questions to make sure nothing was left out of the shot list that was important or unique to us. She was on schedule and efficient in getting all the family photos we wanted, even requiring us to pick someone to be our "family member wrangler" to make sure everyone was there for the pictures and no time was wasted in getting back to the celebration. But even more than her capabilities in capturing stunning photos, she was so warm and lovely to work with. You could feel how much she cared about capturing our day, and made us feel so comfortable and special. I highly recommend booking Luna Photography for your wedding!

Having your memories documented is truly one of the most important things. When we look back on our lives we are the sum of our experiences and being able to share that journey with your present and future family is such a gift.

I found Vicki on Instagram quite a while ago. I can’t recall how I stumbled across her page… but man am I so glad I did. As soon as I saw her work I knew she had to be my photographer. I didn’t care the distance or cost - her photos were that stunning and that different - I absolutely needed her. We had a virtual meet and greet and we just clicked from the start. She got my vibe. And I’d like to think we fit her vibe! Little fact not many people know, we picked our wedding date based on Vicki’s availability! We quickly booked her and scheduled our engagement shoot. She traveled all the way from Lebanon PA to asbury park NJ for this shoot! We had such a fun time with Vicki, she made us comfortable and let us act like ourselves. The photos we got back were gorgeous yet moody - just what I was looking for. She nailed. Fast forward to the wedding, her and her assistant were phenomenal. I trusted vicki so much based on what I’ve seen her do, that I gave her absolutely no direction. She took the wheel and did her thing. She even went out of her way and captured moments of our children that were just so incredible. Literally the cutest thing you will ever see. Everything she did, everything she took were beyond my expectations. The look and feel of my photos is so unique, no other photographer can successfully do what she does. I wish Vicki lived closer so we can use her for all our little milestones! We may have to travel to her for something in the future! Vicki was everything and gave us something unique to look at to always remember our day. Photos are your memories, theyre something you will have forever. You want a master of their craft to be there on your big day. Vicki was that. Snatch her up quick. You won’t regret it! Thank you vicki!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11 years, but I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil – and I’ve been in love with stories just as long. Of all the ways to create a life around storytelling and art, I’m so glad to have found this one: weddings are filled with stories both intimate and profound, and with elements of beauty that delight the artist in me. I love the challenge of seeking, finding and capturing the beauty I see, and telling your story as I see it unfolding before me.

The first thing people mention about our wedding is how beautiful the pictures turned out. I was specifically looking for a candid-style photographer whose exposure remained consistent & correct throughout the night, and Ayesha delivered more than I could have hoped for. She was polite, professional, and so fast! Not only was her turnaround time short, but she practically managed to be in two places at once to capture every perfect shot. We are so grateful that we got the chance to work with her, and look forward to hiring her again for our next special occasion.

I love to travel and elopements and with a background in event planning jump in to assist in creating packages with whimsy, adventure, and always romance! Whether in a cathedral, church, park, mountain, or backyard, BB Jaxson Photography will capture the moments you will remember with a smile.

Belinda is incredible. We hired her back in September and are having a larger ceremony/reception in 2025. The first time we met her she drove almost three hours to us in November and the second time was for our fairly rushed legal ceremony two hours away from her. My grandparents are the reason we moved our wedding up. Not only did she allow us to substitute our engagement shoot for this ceremony, she of her own volition and the kindness of her heart included family portraits of my grandparents individually and together knowing that they were more my concern. She made them feel included, and was beyond accommodating of their needs and handicaps. Her kindness, grace, professionalism, and ability to work with people knows no bounds and I would recommend her to anyone. I tear up every time I think about how incredible she is and how blessed I am to have her as part of my special day. You cannot go wrong hiring her.

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

I knew exactly what to expect timeline wise and had a low stress shoot (and a lot of fun!!) these images are something my husband and I will cherish forever and many of which we’ve since printed and are hanging in our home for us to love and admire for years to come!

I began my photography career over 15 years ago as a photographer for a Natural History Museum. There I learned to be versatile and to shoot anything from galleries, portraits, events to fossils and fieldwork. Just like the museum, weddings also call for a versatile photographer to catch great details, ceremony and reception spaces, portraits and events. But with my wedding photography, I push for more. Inspired by photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, I follow the light and seek decisive moments—emotion and reactions.

Liz photographed our wedding this spring and we’re absolutely obsessed with the photos. She captured so many sweet organic moments of our love and with our guests, and she has such a great eye for color. Our wedding was bright and colorful out in nature, and everything just pops so well in the photos while still looking really natural. Liz was so kind and helpful and easy to work with the whole time. Highly recommend working with her for your wedding!

Alex Hines Photography is for the modern-styled couple who takes priority in tangible memories; memories that are timeless and unforgettable. Couples who value human connection and legacy. A wedding day is captured in a journalistic or documentary approach with very little guidance. With elegance and class, I specialize in off-guard flattering photos capturing in-the-moment emotion.

Alex was incredible to work with, start to finish. She was prompt to respond when we initially reached out to her, and we quickly setup a zoom call. We fell in love with her pure passion for what she does, and we felt fully comfortable and confident in her ability and professionalism. Alex kept up with us throughout the year long engagement and sent us helpful information along the way. She was responsive to messages on honeybook and always calm and confident—which helped ease any bridal anxieties I had! Alex did phenomenal work the day of the wedding. She was prompt, professional, and had a great vibe for our special day. She helped us scope out some fun, artistic spots to take photos and she made the whole day very special. I cannot wait to see the final images but I have no doubt that they will be beyond breath-taking. Alex—I hope we have more special occasions in the future that require your talent and vision! Thank you for ALL you did for us. -Kayla and George

We love working with smart, light hearted, fun, and easy going people. Searching out natural light wherever possible we take an energetic and vibrant approach to photography. We stay true to who we are by maintaining a creative vision throughout your wedding day.

Our wedding day was made special by so many vendors, but Wendy Hickok Photography pushed our wedding above and beyond our expectations. We used Wendy for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and in each case she was incredibly flexible and her work was amazing. She allowed us to postpone our engagement photos until the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Washington, DC, which is very hard to plan for! She braved frigid temperatures with us that day, but our engagement photos turned out amazing! To plan for our wedding photos, she came to our vineyard venue a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure she knew what we wanted in our pictures, and made sure to fully execute that dream the day of our wedding. To this day, I still get compliments on our wedding and engagement photos as they turned out beautifully. Without hesitation, I give Wendy Hickok Photography 5 stars, and I imagine we will be using her services for photographing other life events in the future.

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" 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! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Like some it started with a little camera originally to capture our children as they went on field trips, vacations, and other documentations of life. I quickly began venturing into photographing other families and children. A very good friend of mine invited me to shoot her wedding. This was something I haven't quite thought about doing but was super excited for the Opportunity since I was exploring my different options at the time. When I tell you I fell in love! I really did! I mean that would be such an understatement!! I knew at that point that becoming a Wedding Photographer was what I'd be.

Our wedding photos were so beautiful and we are so thankful to have them to cherish for the rest of our lives. The day was so easy going and every perfect moment was captured. A huge thank you to Elle Rose Artistry for helping make our special day the most it could be.

While documenting your wedding day, I prioritize your unique humanness, capturing the genuine and candid moments in front of me. I am not the photographer who meticulously curates images for a perfect social feed in the name of going viral. The images I am passionate about creating tell your unique story and leave you with moments turned heirlooms.

Hiring Mary was by far the best & easiest decision I have ever made. Her work is not only stunning but the way she communicates with you before stepping in front of her camera ensured me that she was the one. During the day, she made my family & I feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the lens. Her style of giving light direction was exactly what we needed to feel confident. And the photos??? TO DIE FOR! We've gotten so many compliments. I know that I will be reaching out to her for every life event moving forward.

Hey! I'm Sydney, but most people just call me Syd. I am a wedding and Elopement photographer based in KY & Washington, DC, but ready to jet set wherever you need me. I am an avid yogi, podcast lover, and travel enthusiast. I first picked up a camera at the age of 15 and fell in love with the art of photography. I got my start by photographing portraits of my friends and family. I came to realize that my favorite types of images to capture are the intimate and silly moments between two people in love. My photography style is romantic and timeless. I love working with shadows to get that moody effect that I adore.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the pleasure of working with Sydney on several weddings and a large styled photo shoot. Not only is she extremely talented, but down-to-earth, patient, kind, and caring. She understands that documenting a couple's wedding is about them, and does everything in her power to deliver what they want and what she, as an artist, believes is the best product - all the while staying in the shadows and capturing those true, raw, candid moments.

Since 2010, Aaron Jay Photography has worked with dozens of families, couples and events. Aaron Jay Photography has always been a people-pleaser. We love photography because we get to see people smile, laugh and be joyful. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than the look on a mother’s face as she sees the pictures he has taken of her children, or the look on a father’s face when he sees the pictures of his daughter on her wedding day. Aaron Jay Photography gets great satisfaction in knowing those moments we captured through a lens will be cherished forever.

We got married in the middle of a pandemic, via Zoom. Though none of our family or friends could be here, Aaron was able to come over and photograph us from a safe distance in our backyard. The pictures are absolutely amazing- better than anything I could have expected, even for a “normal” wedding. We love Aaron.

After a decade of photographing weddings in and around Baltimore, I have grown to absolutely love what this city has to offer. While I am a transplant to Baltimore (go Wolverines!) how close we are to EVERYTHING is just fantastic! That's one of the main reasons I love being a Baltimore wedding photographer - there is something for everyone here. No matter where it is, each wedding is both timeless and unique to the couple.

My wife and I got married at the Elkridge Furnace Inn and hired Tyler as our wedding photographer. It was the single best decision we made in regards to our wedding planning. Not only were his prices reasonable, but he was a phenomenal photographer who was omnipresent and yet invisible for the entire wedding. When people needed to be posed for shots, he brought Band Teacher Energy and made people laugh and pose naturally. Tyler and his assistant Claire were not only skilled at their jobs, but they were the absolute nicest people who made our day all the more special. By the end of the day, we had one of our guests who is getting married soon ask for his details. If you're looking at this review and thinking of hiring Tyler... yes. Just, yes. I can't endorse it enough.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!
