  • Serves Franconia, VA

Your day, your memories, your captivating legacy, captured for years to come. I help regular brides create iconic moments so they can celebrate their love for years to come. It’s your day and your memories. Let’s celebrate with captivating photography.

Krystina was amazing to work with! She arrived early to the first location for shooting and acclimated herself with the area before getting started with photos. She did not need to be directed where to go, she knew where to go and what to do. She suggested and executed some great solo portraits and pictures with my mom and wedding party. At the wedding itself, she took excellent photos while at the same time not being in the way — my family commented how they didn’t even notice her taking pictures most of the time. The pictures we received were incredible, exactly captured our special day. I highly recommend her!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough great things about Angelica and her team! We are one of those awkward people that don't take many photos, but thanks to our engagement session and our wedding photos, along with Angelica's coaching, we looked great in our photos and always had a blast in our photo shoots! Our wedding and engagement photos are amazing. When we think we were feeling awkward, our photos just show us in-love and having fun. There are many romantic photos that cater to my personality, and my husband loves the editorial look of many shots. Angelica is worth saving up and booking. We are glad our friend recommended her. Thank you Angelica! Everyone, just book her! You will not regret it!

Yin Futography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Franconia, VA

Hobbyist coffee brewer, professional nap taker, and sucker for raw moments and authentic emotions. Dedicated to documenting the beautiful moments as they unfold. Based in Southern California & available worldwide.

I am so fortunate that Yin and I found each other on a wedding thread and I was able to see some of his work and book him for my wedding. If you are looking for a true artist that will capture raw and genuine emotion, look no further. Not only can you feel it when you see his work, but he also made the whole planning process and the day of my wedding that much more special. Yin is not only incredibly talented but also an organized professional, great communicator and a gentle, calming soul who brings the right energy to every moment. I have only had the chance to see my sneak peak photos and my husband (ahh!) and I were literally obsessed with each and every one. Being the type of people who do not do well with all eyes on us and are generally awkward in posed photos, we simply could not choose a “favorite” as every one of them held a special memory or captured a raw moment. I literally feel like I fell more in love with our love story after seeing our photos of nervousness, excitement, joy, bliss and emotions. He is truly a storyteller and his 2nd shooter Catherine did just as phenomenal of a job. It is truly wedding vendors like Yin that make dreams come true on this huge milestone. I just can’t stop raving! I literally plan to hire Yin for any and every future event!!! Thank you, Yin for capturing my wedding story and making our day so special. You are so gifted and I am so lucky we crossed paths!

About our lead photographer: Sarah Margaret Henry is the face of and creative mind behind Still Poetry Photography. She does everything from answering emails to designing the website to running shoots and everything in between.

Still Poetry Photography was the perfect choice for my boudoir shoot as a gift to my spouse. From the moment I booked, their communication was quick and friendly, putting me at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and value was incredible - the photos they captured beautifully executed my vision and left me feeling confident and affirmed. Having an openly disabled, queer, neurodivergent photographer was super important to me, and the experience was gentle, thorough, and clearly trauma-informed at every stage. I couldn't have asked for a more magnificent experience, and I'd recommend Still Poetry Photography to anyone and everyone!

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.

I'm Emily, the proud owner and lead photographer of EmmiClaire Photography. With a deep love for storytelling and an unwavering passion for capturing beautiful moments, I am honored to be your guide through the incredible world of photography. Photography has always been more than just a profession to me—it's a way of life. From a young age, (around seven years old) I found inspiration behind the lens, using my camera to freeze time and preserve emotions. Over the years, my craft has evolved, and I have honed my skills to capture the essence of love, joy, and authenticity in every image.

From our initial consultation to the wedding day itself, Emily and team were a joy to work with. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (and not awkward lol) which really shows in the photos. The team was professional, organized, fun, and had a great eye for capturing natural moments. We felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire process. Emily and team took the time to learn what was important to us, and it shows in the photos we have. I love them all so much, and I am so thankful I found this team. I feel like they are part of my family now.

Hi, I'm Liz! I'm based in Lynchburg, VA. I moved here from Los Angeles where I studied Fashion Design and Merchandising. Photography has been a huge passion of mine since I was in middle school but one class in college that really sparked my interest again. When the Pandemic hit, I was 6 months pregnant and starting to realize that I didn't enjoy my job anymore. I was so tired of working 50-60 hours a week and realized the most important thing to me was to be there to raise my child. So, that was that and here I am.

Working with Rustic Rose Photography was the best experience! She completed both engagement and wedding pictures for us. I am not someone who loves to be in front of a camera, but Liz uses really natural prompts to make you feel like yourself and feel good. At my wedding, she was really supportive and even checked in with me to see if I needed water or food. She’s always prompt and fun to work with. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. I can’t wait to scheduled more sessions with her in the future because she has a way of capturing the warmth of a moment in such a special way.

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.

If you need a photographer, Courtney Hathaway is the one to hire! Fun, caring and talented are just a few words to begin with. My husband and I are both camera shy and from day 1 of shooting our engagement, Courtney made us feel comfortable and confident. We had a giant wedding party and a toddler on board, no prob for Courtney! Everyone has expressed to us how fun she made our wedding shoot and how gorgeous all the photos turned out. She certainly knows how to work with big groups, shy couples, and little kids! We've worked with her through pouring rain from a tropical depression (wedding day), whipping winds on a beach (engagement shoot), and a perfect warm sunset surprise engagement by the sound. Every single time, she pulls through and creates timeless beautiful galleries.

It is so nice to have you here! I am a Charlottesville Washington DC and Virginia Wedding Photographer who creates artful film-inspired imagery with a combination of timeless editorial and hybrid candid photography that recreates tangible memories of what matters most: you and your authentic love story. With a passion for wanderlust and most importantly my family, I know that life's most cherished moments are fleeting. It's an honor to create emotional love-story centered heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.

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.

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.

I am a Baltimore based wedding and engagement photographer, known for my vibrant wedding photos with an authentic, candid style. I work with couples who are laid back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying time with family and friends, not spending half the day posing for stiff, awkward photos.

As a videographer, I have worked with Morgan many times, and each time I find out she is the photographer for the day, I breathe a sigh of relief. Her work is excellent, and she does such a great job directing her couples to give them the best photographs. She communicates well and takes the time to make sure couples get everything they need. She is not only professional when it comes to her clients; she works seamlessly alongside all the vendors at the event. You will not go wrong with hiring her. She's amazing!

  • Serves Franconia, VA

Residing on a country road, nestled between Washington, DC and Annapolis, MD, I can't help but pinch myself daily that I get to do what I love for a living. When I'm not capturing the love stories of the awesome couples I get to work with, you can find me loving every minute of life with my bald-headed husband, our sweet baby girl, and our big-eared pup.

Long review coming, but I can't help myself. Erin was the best decision of my wedding! I cared about three things for my wedding, and photography was one of them. Finding a photographer was a daunting task since at the end of the day I knew I would leave with two things: my husband and my pictures. From the very beginning, Erin was a delight to work with. Photography, one of my top priorities, became my lowest stressor leading up to my wedding and the day of. Erin is a phenomenal communicator. She is clear, timely, and respectful. She asked about our photography desires, encouraged questions, and confirmed information to ensure that we achieved what we wanted. Erin always responded quickly which was so helpful when trying to coordinate everything needed for a wedding. The day of the wedding she and her second photographer, Monica (an absolute gem!!), were excellent communicators with all of the adults and children present when relaying what they wanted and needed us to do for photos. They helped with poses and gave amazing feedback (both positive and adjustments needed) throughout the day to help us feel comfortable and get good shots (neither my husband nor myself are natural at posing, but our photos turned out amazing)! Erin is calm, organized, and KIND (exactly what a couple needs during the planning process and on the wedding day)! Everything was clearly outlined prior to signing a contract. Once signing, you have a login to see all of your information in one place (contract, payments, questionnaire, etc.) which makes it so easy to keep track of everything related to our photography. As a Type A person, I so appreciated how clear and organized all of the information was. She has a second photographer included on the wedding day who helps keep track of the previously-determined photos (confirmed during a phone call) and ensures that everyone is in place so photos don't take a million hours. We were able to complete all pre- and post-ceremony pictures (we had a lot) in about an hour total for both. She was so sweet and made both of us feel unbelievably comfortable. She's someone you'll genuinely want to stay friends with after the wedding! Both Erin and Monica were so thorough and detailed. Not only did they review everything I didn't know I needed to think about prior to the wedding, but the day of the wedding they handled everything with such attention to detail that it completely removed all pressure from us and our families. Erin and Monica knew the photos we wanted and made sure to get all of them throughout the day. They constantly helped adjust my gown, veil, hair, and poses to ensure that not only the framing and lighting was perfect (which it was), but that there were no little details out of place that would drive OCD me crazy haha. They also brought tremendous equipment that allowed them to shoot multiple ways in multiple lighting scenarios. We were married in an old church, had a reception in a wood-paneled moody, dark room, and finished with photos at the Jefferson Memorial. Every single venue had perfectly lit photos. They both jumped around, walked up and down, switched out cameras, and straight up WORKED (at impeccable speed) to get us so many amazing angles and photos. On top of everything. Erin helped us create beautiful photo albums for us and our parents. To say Erin is worth the investment is the understatement of the century. We are forever grateful to her for capturing our important day!

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

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!

Hi I'm Maddy! I’m a Virginia native whose love of her camera took her on an adventure into entrepreneurship. I accidentally stumbled into wedding photography thanks to some family friends, and ended up leaving my career as a consultant to pursue my passion. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a perfectionist and a little bit Type A, but take pride in how that makes me into a great wedding photographer. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love the energy of a wedding day that keeps me on my toes. My attention to detail allows me to go above and beyond when it comes to helping you prepare and capturing your wedding day.

Maddy was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding photography needs. From day one, Maddy was incredibly responsive, organized, and professional. She provided invaluable guidance on timelines and vendor recommendations that perfectly aligned with what we were looking for. During our engagement session, Maddy immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and even stayed longer than planned to capture the best light. On our wedding day, Maddy expertly navigated timeline modifications so we still got all the photos we wanted. We had a lengthy list of family and detail shots that were important to us, and Maddy made sure each item was captured beautifully. We couldn't be more thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos. The beauty of Maddy's art speaks for itself - she has a real knack for capturing light, color, and raw emotion. This, plus her professionalism, preparedness, and responsiveness set Maddy apart as an incredible photographer to work with throughout the entire wedding planning journey. I could not recommend her more highly!

I'm most known to produce warm and soulful images that feel timeless with capturing real emotion that is true to the world I see around me. I've spent over a decade perfecting my timeless and most noted use of vibrant color photographs. Photographing intimate weddings in the hills of Tuscany; to grand beach weddings overlooking the Riviera Maya beaches of Tulum, I'm honored to have photographed weddings of every proportion.

I'm so happy i hired Krystle as our wedding photographer. We got to meet beforehand when she was in California and took our engagement photos and it was like having a friend take our photos. She was an absolute delight to work with and helped put my husband (who hates taking photos) at ease. Our photos were beautiful and were even featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and Magnolia Rouge which was an lovely surprise. If in doubt, hire her! She is such a calming presence which helps on what can be a very stressful day. Wish we could do it all over again!

She’s so easy to work with and makes the whole process a breeze. She comes with her own ideas but also gives you the opportunity to share your own on what kind of pictures you want. I highly recommend!

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.

I loved my experience working with Elle and her team. They made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. The final product came out beautiful and I’m so glad we have these beautiful photos to help us remember such a big day in our lives. I appreciate all that they did for us and for being so patient, kind and timely.

Amy Jennings Photography Videography captures your special moments and make memories come alive everytime you look at a picture. Personally & Professionally I believe in inclusion and equality to all.

From the first night we talked with Amy about our engagement photos, wedding vision and desires for timeless and clean pictures and videography, both Amy and Scott exceeded our expectations. Looking back on our wedding day, Amy and Scott were so much more than our photographer and videographer. They captured our day beautifully and worked seamlessly with our additional vendors to make the day perfect. Amy also came to our rehearsal dinner to further help in the organization which was amazing. The quality of the work that Amy and Scott Jennings produce is a reflection of the kind and wonderful people that they are. Five stars is truly not enough to rate Amy Jennings because she is an extraordinary talent. We would highly recommend Jennings Photography without reservation! Thank you, Scott and Amy both for using your gifts to produce priceless pictures of our special day!!

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!
