Photography and videography for destination, elopements, and traditional weddings across the Northern Virginia and worldwide. My work focuses on capturing your day authentically so that you can relive your memories and feel the emotions you had in that exact moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

Tiffany and her team were absolutely incredible to work with! She shot our wedding in April 2024 and from start to finish was helpful and communicative. We got our teaser photos very quickly after the wedding and all of our photos following that quickly as well. The editing was amazing, all of the photos were so well thought out and the attention to detail was so amazing to see. We are SO happy with our wedding photos!!

PAPERBOYS 

5.0

Fredericksburg, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,995

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.

Hiring Nate with the Paperboys team might have been the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I are (very picky) creatives by nature and trade so we knew that we wanted to be very intentional about our choice of photographer for our special day. Our venue was a historic hotel that requires you to work with one of their select partners, something we initially were a little hesitant about due to its inherent limitations. Most partners listed had very technically beautiful photos but nothing that excited us creatively. Until we saw their most recent partner addition: Paperboys. We loved the playfulness, talent, and imagination that was deeply valued with the team and quickly connected with our photographer Nate both creatively and socially. It was apparent that he truly loved his craft and was easy to communicate our vision with, always making sure to ask helpful questions and take the time to study our provided resource materials. Without prompting or extra charge, he also opted to bring his own film camera to snap some artsy film shots on the actual day, an above and beyond move that shows how much he genuinely just loves what he does. The finished photos absolutely exceeded expectations. His signature style we loved shone through while also managing to capture the exact essence of what we were hoping for stylistically. And as someone who specifically struggles with body confidence and anxiety, he was able to make me feel safe by providing a calm presence and plenty of posing guidance. This allowed me to truly just exist and enjoy the day, which is something I genuinely wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to manage, and therefore the most wonderful gift in and of itself. TLDR: Just hire Paperboys already and thank me later! You’re welcome.

I'm Caty-Scarlett! Owner and crazy woman of Love and Lore Photography. I document love through a documentary driven perception and I would define myself as a wedding photo historian. I shoot lovers particularly in Virginia and across New England. Take me anywhere! Some places that are close to home are Dalton, Ohio. Boston and Provincetown, Massachusetts. Not to mention Shenandoah National Park and Coalton, WV.

Caty-Scarlett (and her second shooter, Sean) were an ABSOLUTE JOY to work with for our Shenandoah wedding! She jumped right into our vision and took the time to actually get to know us as a couple and the style we were looking for (documentary-esque/non-staged/natural). Clear, honest communication and incredibly helpful throughout the process on a very compressed timeline. She captured our family and friends emotions so beautifully over the course of our long weekend celebration and truly created pictures that we constantly reference. Attentive to the details, flexible and didn't pressure us, even took the time to remember our immediate family's names for group shots. Outstanding human being, we can't wait for our next adventure shoot!

Hello! My Name is Mary Winford. I am a DC wedding photographer who loves shooting weddings in Washington DC, but I shoot other places as well. I'm always excited to explore a new area. I was born and raised in North Carolina. I now live in Fredericksburg Virginia. It was a big change considering I've lived in North Carolina all my life, but I still travel back and forth to see my family. I am happy I have many awesome pictures to look back at when I miss them. Family and sharing memories with the people I care about is so important to me. That's one of the reasons why photography is so important to me.

Mary Winford Weddings was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was responsive and prompt via text and email, which was so helpful during the busy wedding planning process. Their work is truly inspired, with bright, dreamy and beautiful images that captured all the best moments of our special day. The crew was super kind and extremely helpful, offering lots of great ideas for poses and really treating our wedding like it was the most important event. They did an amazing job corralling the wedding party for group photos and got stunning shots of all the meaningful moments. We are thrilled with the artistic final images and would highly recommend Mary Winford Weddings to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography and videography!

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 26-year-old wedding photographer based just outside DC in NoVA. Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

We were thrilled with Sophia Osborne Photography for our wedding photos. Sophia was extremely professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day - she was organized, responsive, and helped us feel at ease. On the wedding day, she captured so many beautiful candid moments with her vibrant, creative style. The colors and lighting in both our portraits and reception photos are gorgeous and realistic. We were so excited when we got our sneak peek photos - they perfectly capture the joy and love from our special day. We can't wait to receive the full photo package and relive more memories.

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Awarded Best of Zola
ABBY IS INCREDIBLE. I booked Abby after another photographer I had booked was no longer able to do the job. I was in such a funk and I was terrified to find someone new. Abby had such a great vibe from the start and her skills are clearly magic. She made us feel comfortable right from the start. We had a blast together at our engagement shoot and I felt so safe for my wedding that I didn’t even feel the need to give her specific “shots” just the overall vibes! She read me and my vibe and knocked it out of the park. She was not just my photographer on my wedding day, she was a friend! I’m so lucky to call her a friend now, even after our wedding! Booking Abby will be one thing you absolutely do not regret! DO IT!

Nam Tatum is a travel documentary and editorial wedding photographer with a passion for capturing raw, unfiltered emotions. She moved to the U.S. at nine and served in the Marines for seven years before turning her lifelong love for photography into a career. Her approach to photography is far from cookie-cutter.

I seriously cannot put into words how amazing Nam is. My now husband and I had never done a photoshoot together so I was nervous how we would be. Nam made it so easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She’s a gem! Our wedding went flawlessly because of her. She stayed on track and got every requested photo and then some. She fit right in with all of us, cracking jokes and all. She has such a great personality and will go the extra mile for “the shot”. Can’t recommend enough!!

Rob Jinks Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Fredericksburg, VA

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

I enthusiastically recommend Rob for all your photography needs. He is super personable, affordable, and his photos are absolutely stunning. Rob photographed our wedding and what initially set him apart was his video messages and desire to have video meetings (we got married during the COVID-19 pandemic). At first, we found it a bit unusual, but we quickly realized that the video calls made it so much easier to get to know Rob and build a connection, particularly during a time when in-person meetings aren't an easy option. We had a few video calls to talk through our vision and hopes for the wedding day. Rob also walked us through examples of weddings he had done that would be similar in style to ours so we could get a sense of his artistic approach. We could immediately tell that he was very thorough and detail-oriented. As we were planning out the day, Rob gave super helpful suggestions, demonstrating his knowledge of what worked in the DC area (including at the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and the DC War Memorial) from a photographer’s perspective, and helped us develop a realistic plan for the day given our time together. On the wedding day, Rob made us feel very comfortable - both with him and with having our photo taken as we were newbies at that. And all of our guests felt the same way as he was organizing the after ceremony family portraits. He also turned around the final product in a very timely manner (within one month), and provided a sneak peak within the first week. We were completely blown away. The photos were vibrant, creative, and captured the joy and memories of the day so well. Family and friends are already hanging them up in their houses.

I've been an avid photographer since 14, starting with a Nikon F3 film SLR from my grandparents. My passion led me to transform my hobby into a business after 13 years. I've collaborated with world-class photographers, remarkable clients, and exceptional vendors. What sets me apart is my personal connection with clients, making them feel comfortable. My storytelling approach captures genuine emotions and unique moments. With extensive experience, particularly in weddings, I bring technical expertise and artistic vision to every shoot. When you hire me, you're gaining a dedicated storyteller committed to high-quality, timeless photos.

I would give 10 stars if that were possible! Nathan is incredible! From when we first reached out to even now, a month after our wedding. He is so friendly and warm, it is easy to feel comfortable around him. Feeling comfortable is so important since most of us aren't used to people taking so many pictures of us. He was helpful in picking a place to do our engagement photos and was great about getting us to pose or do goofy things that resulted in the most beautiful photos that I could truly feel how we felt in the moment when looking at the photos. On the day of our wedding, he was even more amazing, we were an hour behind schedule (my fault) and he kept his cool which in turn helped me to also remain calm. He was great at pivoting at a moment's notice when I changed the location of first look photos in order to save time. He was great at offering ways we could still get those photos in that location if we wanted to take the time to do it. He went above and beyond getting candid shots I asked for. The amazing thing is that my photos from my wedding truly feel like a portal back into the day, I look at the pictures and all the emotions of joy and love come flooding back. He is a true artist. The best part was we got a bunch of preview photos the day after our wedding!! Unheard of! And then he had the full gallery of photos only 3 weeks later, also unheard of! He does a great job capturing and editing photos. He also time and time again went above and beyond like an additional engagement session when we missed some shots we had wanted to get or an additional session in our wedding attire to capture additional portraits. He also asked if there were photos that we thought were missing from the gallery and went back through the thousands of photos to find ones we were asking about. I cannot recommend Nathan enough, our day would not have been the same without him, and it never would have been captured in such a perfect way.

Hello!!! I’m so excited to connect. I’m a family and wedding photographer based in Northern Virginia! I love real moments, and focus and all the candid fun, no stress. This day, these moments will live forever and ever, and it’s my job and privilege as your storyteller to snap them all!

Beginning the wedding planning process is daunting in itself, but the anxiety of finding the person that shares your vision for your photos (basically your concrete memories) can be so challenging. Not only do you want someone that can capture the candid beautiful moments of your big day, but also someone that makes you feel comfortable enough to celebrate and enjoy it. We never wanted staged or posed seeming photos for our wedding, just captured moments of real life and the joy of real people celebrating with us. Becky delivered. She was kind, patient, guiding, supportive, and (my favorite part) celebrated in our joy that day. She was so easy to work with, it honestly felt like a friend taking care of us. We would recommend Becky to anyone—she has a versatile portfolio and is always looking to better herself and connect with others. If you want your wedding day captured in photos that genuinely show you—Becky is the one!

I would recommend her both professionally to clients and personally to friends and family.

I am a full service wedding photographer. My approach to wedding photography focuses on the emotion of the event. That is what fascinates and moves me, that is what draws me to photography. I always do an engagement shoot with my couples, I think it is important to get to know each other before the wedding day, and it helps me to understand you as a couple. I like to get together at least once to just talk as well, the better you know me, the easier it will be for you to relax and focus on your wedding when I am looking at you the whole time.

The way he sees light through his camera and captures a once in a lifetime special moment lives forever in the images produced. We are forever greatful in the moment we shared that now has become a lifetime and generation of memories. From the bride: the pictures captured told the story of what took place on preparation before I walked down the aisle. We are a happy couple who are so blessed to do business with Paul. Paul is blessed with a special gift and makes you feel very comfortable. He builds a relationship with his clients. Paul gave us a scenario. We did our thing and he did his. During COVID he is understanding and flexible. We wish him nothing but the best!

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin is absolutely AMAZING at what he does. My fiancé and I can’t recommend him enough! His communication and planning is 10/10. We let him know the locations we wanted to shoot at and met him day of the shoot - he jumped right into guiding us through the session (we had no idea what we were doing, but Justin made us feel so comfortable). We laughed through the entire shoot! Justin is very personable and friendly. Justin sent previews of some photos the SAME day we did the shoot. We were in love with the previews! Shortly after, we got our full portfolio - to say we are obsessed is an understatement. All of the photos are beautiful, and Justin perfectly captured us. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, is great at communicating, and delivers stunning photos - look no further than Justin.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We used Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. for our wedding and engagement photos, and they were amazing from start to finish. Their communication was clear, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was efficient, stunning, and highly personalized to our style. They sent us multiple photographer options to choose from, and we went with Sabatani, who captured every moment of our special day beautifully. OLAS also helped us create a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. We're thrilled with the photos and couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our wedding.

Ivy & Quartz Photography

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

After friends shared a photo of my then fiance and me at their own wedding, we hired the photographer who took it. This was Nina! That one photo inspired us to review the gallery of their entire wedding and then her portfolio and we were blown away. 7 months later our own wedding day arrived. My husband and I are the type of people who are wildly present and constantly forget to take photographs of our life together. We knew we wanted to capture this day without the photography becoming a chore or hindering our ability to do what we do best and enjoy our time. Nina was able to provide just that and was incredible (as was the second photographer she worked with for our big day). Nina seamlessly handled all the chaotic moments and pre-ceremony stress of the very emotional bride (me) in stride! With very little direction she navigated all aspects of a wedding day with absolute poise and grace. I cannot thank her enough for taking on such leadership and just GETTING IT DONE! Nina captured all the big and tiny pieces that go into a wedding and I felt her photo choices, angles, and poses perfectly captured the essence of me and my husband's personalities. At every avenue Nina was a professional, personable, and I never expected I could be so satisfied with a collection of photographs. THANK YOU SO MUCH NINA.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

From our first interaction, Sean and his team at Portraits By Sean were prompt, personable, and clear in their communication. Their exceptional, professional, and quick work captured the essence of our special day perfectly. Sean was laid back and brought great energy to our wedding, seamlessly capturing all the important moments without ever being intrusive. We had nothing but a positive and truly exceptional experience working with Sean from start to finish. Not only were our photos top-notch, but he took the time to get to know us as a couple and was able to beautifully document all the candid, unscripted moments that made our wedding day so memorable. I'd give Sean 10 stars if I could!

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

In every regard, Cesario was a delight to work with. He was prompt from the very first email contact. We exchanged several ideas, he guided us along the way. Cesario worked with us in every aspect, was really flexible and easygoing. We had a semi pop-up wedding with very loosely laid out plans.. and he made everything cohesive and organized. I loved the direction he gave us in front of the camera also. I think all the guests felt really comfortable with him. Even though we were in no rush, we got our photos back within days!! Incredible. Loved our memories that were captured by Cesario! Highly recommend!

You know when you meet someone and it feels like you've been friends forever? That's Heather for you! Heather is fun, kind, warm, and will be your ultimate hype girl! Aside from being an awesome human, Heather is a talented photographer. Don't know how to pose and feel super awkward in front of a camera like me? No worries, Heather's got you! She'll direct you on how to stand, how to put your hands, how your face should look, give you hot tips... all of it! She also has a sharp eye for beautiful landscapes. You're in good hands and will have cute photos, I promise. In addition to Heather, we were lucky enough to work with her videographer, Andrew, and another shooter from her team. The entire HCP team was so fun to work with you and will put you right at ease. I've gotten to do 3 shoots with Heather to date and am incredibly pleased with how our photos have come out. In fact, I haven't even gotten the final album for our wedding yet (just previews) and i'm STILL impressed! If you have the opportunity to work with this team, take it. I couldn't recommend them enough.
