I'm a wedding and dog photographer based in the Northern Virginia/DC area with a focus on capturing fun, candid, colorful photos of the people and pups you love! I'm always willing to travel, especially back to my home state of New York.

Awarded Best of Zola
Deciding to hire Megan was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding day, and we can't recommend her enough! Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful, and are so colorful and cheerful and captured our day perfectly. She also did a phenomenal job with our engagement photos, capturing some stunning shots in Shenandoah at sunset. We initially found her after looking for a wedding photographer who was also good with dogs since our ceremony was going to prominently feature our best dog of honor, and from our initial conversation we knew she'd be a great match for us. We felt super comfortable working with her, and her tips and advice resulted in some absolutely fantastic pictures (and some super adorable ones of our pup!). We got a great mix of posed and candid shots, and she did such a great job of capturing the fun. She was also extremely communicative and so prepared for anything. The weather on our wedding day was tricky, and when the sun changed to a sudden downpour, she had clear umbrellas ready to go so that we could keep taking pictures! Our pictures are everything and more than I ever could have asked for, and hiring Megan was truly worth every penny!

My name is Jennette and I would love to be a part of your special day! I got into wedding coordinating on accident! One random day a few years ago, one of my friends asked if I would assist her in a few of her weddings. From that day on, I have been working weddings and my interest in them grew! My company is named after my beloved doggie, Lilo. She is a boxer mix hound, and she is surely a sassy one! She is lively, fierce and isn't afraid to have a good time. My vision for Lilo Weddings is to deliver a stress free and memorable event while working side by side with amazing vendors on the couple's wedding day!

We are U.S. Jow Ga Martial Arts, a small martial arts school out of Columbia MD. We perform traditional Chinese lion dances for various events! Jenette Le is quite possibly the best wedding planner we have had the pleasure to work with. The wedding seemed like it went really smoothly! I am not exaggerating when we have waited hours after a scheduled performance time due to delays in weddings. Communication was on point and we even went early! In my 17 years of doing lion dances I can count on my hand the number of weddings we have done that were on time or less than a 30-minute delay. Being early is a first! 100% Recommend!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I start with Fox Meadow Barn and the owner, Dixie?! From my first tour, Dixie was incredibly accommodating. Due to the venue being 2 hours away from me and the fall being peak season, I needed to tour during the week around 7:00 PM. Unfortunately, my husband couldn’t make that tour and I was unable to FaceTime him. Once again, Dixie accommodated us and let us do a self-guided tour the day before Thanksgiving. Just like me, my husband immediately loved it and wanted to call Dixie to book. We needed to come home and look at some more details before moving forward and Dixie never once pressured us. I reached out to 100 venues across Virginia, DC, and Maryland, and many people were focused on sales and made me feel like just a number. Dixie made me feel like family! After booking, Dixie provided me with a ton of resources — a day of timeline example, a spreadsheet with vendors for everything imaginable, photos, and videos. No matter how many times I emailed or texted, Dixie responded within hours or less. She made being a DIY bride and planning my own wedding a breeze! In fact, because of Dixie and how much I enjoyed planning my wedding, I am strongly considering entering the wedding industry part time as a planner or coordinator. I cannot recommend Dixie and Fox Meadow Barn enough! I was not a barn bride until discovering Fox Meadow Barn. It is absolutely gorgeous!

From our first call, she made me feel at ease with her not only capturing our love story but also as an asset to help things run smoothly on our big day! Though we met Morgan for the first time on our wedding day, she immediately made us feel comfortable. She is so fun and kind but also knows how to take charge when needed! She is extremely organized & did a great job capturing the photos I wanted based on inspiration photos. Our bridal party had so much fun taking photos which says a lot if you've ever been a part of one. My hubby even enjoyed taking photos which he hates to do!

We absolutely loved working with Maria for our engagement and wedding photos! We knew from looking at her portfolio for the first time and after we connected over the phone that we’d found exactly the right person to capture our celebration. From in-person meetings to Zoom syncs, our partnership with Maria immediately felt comfortable and collaborative. Maria brought warmth and her expertise to the table, while we brought our personalities and our vision to capture the vibrance and energy of our wedding day. There are three main elements that I want to highlight from working together with Maria: 1. Our rainy day engagement shoot in Brooklyn - despite us being based in Brooklyn, NY and our wedding venue and Maria both being located in the greater Washington, DC area, Maria made her way up to NYC and graciously did an engagement shoot with us capturing shots in some of our favorite places around Brooklyn. At first we were a bit worried when we saw that rain was in the forecast for our shoot day, but Maria assured us that the rain would only add to the romanticism of the shoot and she was absolutely right and truly delivered great shots. Not only that, she was great at directing us and making us feel relaxed throughout the entire session. 2. Maria’s unique proposal for our wedding day shoot - we connected with Maria nine months prior to our wedding, but she’s a sought after photographer! She was already booked on our wedding date, so she suggested an alternative for us to still be able to leverage her services and her editorial eye: she would suggest another trusted photographer to take raw photos on the day of our wedding, while she would still own all of the planning, coordination, and editing of all of our wedding photos so our images still got the Rise & Roam treatment. 3. Our wedding photos - Maria was highly communicative and phenomenal at making sure she understood what we were looking for in our shots. She made sure that our day-of raw photographer was aligned with our vision as well. (Shoutout to Sarah Mattozzi for being such a great day-of photographer and for partnering with Maria on our unique photography setup! Loved working with Sarah!). Just a few days after our wedding, Maria sent us a bunch of preview photos from the shoot and we were immediately struck by how well they turned out. Once we got the full album drop, we were so happy with all the images!! Maria captured the spirit, energy, and fun that was such a core part of our wedding celebration! Overall, I would highly highly recommend Maria to capture your own special day because she did a phenomenal job on capturing our celebration!

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

My business was in need of professional headshots and Sara did an amazing job! Her pricing is fair, she communicates in a timely manner, and she has a nice studio perfect for the photos I wanted. Not only did she take individual headshots, but she also took group shots of my team. Despite some of my employees being camera shy, Sara knew just how to get them out of their shell and direct them into taking the photos. I am very impressed by how Sara conducts her business and recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer!

Hi! My name is Katie, and I'm a one-woman photographer team. I've been capturing weddings for over 12 years, and my goal has always been to provide luxury quality at affordable prices. My style is a mix: fine art when capturing details and posed portraits; photojournalistic when capturing candid moments throughout the day. I emphasize natural light, true colors, clean compositions, comfortable posing, and authentic moments. When I'm not taking pictures, you can find me homeschooling my two awesome kids, teaching speech & debate, reading obsessively, and watching Lord of the Rings on repeat :)

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Katie for our wedding, her communication was clear, timely, and backed up with a clearly written contract and follow-up texts. She was exceptionally kind to us, asked great questions ahead of time to help us figure out what we wanted and wanted to prioritize. On the day of, she expertly navigated our changing needs, like accommodating tiny kids’ timelines. She was also exceptionally kind to take photos at the family farm in addition to the church, for some more scenery. Her work is truly natural, elegant, lifelike, and absolutely beautiful - we were thrilled with the final photos that captured all the special moments of our day, including our first look at the altar. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our picture taken much at all, but Katie did a phenomenal job putting us at ease, giving us clear and concise posing direction, and capturing us looking our best in our happiest moments. Katie was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional photography team to help make their wedding day perfect. I have recommended her to all of my engaged friends without hesitation, and would recommend her to you too!

Meet Alex, a visual storyteller who brings your vision to life. Beyond the camera, I am an architect of moments, crafting images that transcend mere visuals. Imagine your session as a time capsule, not just freezing moments but encapsulating the very essence of your experiences—the laughter, the shared glances, and the whispers that echo in your memories. I aspire to create a visual odyssey where each image you relive not only the scenes but emotions, thoughts, and ambiance of your session.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were able to communicate throughout the wedding day fairly seamlessly. I was able to work with her on getting the bride and groom a moment alone before moving on to the next event on the day. She was super nice and professional and was able to work with me on timeframe if something needed to change or we needed to move something in the timeline around. It was such a pleasure to work with her and I look forward to crossing paths again in the future should the opportunity arise.

Where to even start? From the planning of the engagement session to the execution of our wedding day photography, Nam was so fun, helpful, encouraging, and professional. She made all of our dreams come true with every picture and has made memories that we will cherish forever. Nam’s laidback fun personality made both my husband and I feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera even though neither one of us are big fans of having our picture taken. She captured us in a way that showed our love in every picture, and it never felt like unnatural or like a photoshoot. She has a way of making people feel seen, and her pictures show that. If you want to always remember the way you *feel*, I would highly recommend Nam. She captures heart on film, and we feel so lucky to have that memorialized forever!

Sandra and her team were the absolute best! Sandra was so organized and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process.

The team was able to give everyone the hairstyles they envisioned and we couldn't have been happier with the results.

Hi! I'm Jill Smith, owner, creative, wife and mother.

I am a certified wedding planner, florist and designer. Jill Smith Events and Designs has a team of professional individuals skilled in planning, florals, and designs. We produce events at a variety of venues in the DC/VA/MD area. We partner with couples in the area, and often areas beyond. Our goal is to ensure a seamless, memorable event that lasts a lifetime!

We were planning from the west coast for our Virginia wedding, and Jill was truly a lifesaver. From day one, she was incredibly communicative and kept us on track every step of the way, which gave us such peace of mind. Jill went above and beyond when it came to our décor. Not only did she help us design stunning tablescapes, but she also provided the perfect finishing touches—everything from table numbers to candle holders, welcome table, seating chart and individual name card tents to make our vision come to life! On the day of the wedding, Jill handled any issues before we even knew they existed! Her professionalism and calm demeanor were unmatched, and she always seemed to know exactly what I needed before I could even think to ask. If you’re getting married in the Leesburg/Purcellville area, you absolutely need Jill as your coordinator. She is amazing at what she does, and we couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her!

I’m so happy I went with Julia. She did an amazing job during our trial (she did both the hair and makeup on me) and a fantastic job on the wedding day. She had a colleague take care of makeup for me and my bridesmaids since my hair was so extravagant, but her colleague did a great job, too. The bright picture is shortly after they finished, and the night picture is many hours later and the makeup held wonderfully with no touch ups. I also got so many compliments on the hair! Photos are by @sopho.tography, except for the trial photo where I’m in a blue shirt.
