Sarah Houston Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

I am a lover of pretty light, laughing with my couples and curating fine art weddings & engagements for the Audrey Hepburn’s of Charlottesville, Virginia and beyond. When I’m not photographing weddings you can find me in my favorite place-Walt Disney World.

Oh my goodness, working with Sarah was probably the best decision we made from our entire wedding. From the first moment I saw her photography, I knew she specialized in romantic, bright, and really stunning photos, but I couldn’t have predicted how unbelievable ours would turn out. They are easily the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen. Not only did she capture the colors and details in such a vibrant way, but more importantly her photos show the love, emotion, and even the fun that we had together and with our friends and families. I’ve never seen the way I look when I look at my husband, and I’m so incredibly grateful that I now can. She truly brings the day to life, and makes your photos look as gorgeous as the day itself feels. Sarah is also super relatable, funny, and sweet. At this point I kind of just want to be her best friend, and I’m a little sad that we won’t have any more planning meetings together haha. We really looked forward to those! She made us feel so at ease through the entire planning process and the wedding day itself, and got us even more excited for the special day as we talked through all the details and photography potential at our venue. On the day of, she was always exactly in the right spot to capture a key moment, she guided us toward locations that were perfectly lit, she even climbed into a creek to take the most stunning photos of us during golden hour. She will do anything to make sure your photo dreams come true (and they’ll be even better than you could’ve dreamed, honestly!). She is also extremely fast. Our families and friends still talk about how shocked they are that we got our photos so quickly. She had our sneak peeks to us the day after the wedding, and we had the full set before we even came back from our honeymoon! She is unreal! It was about the same timeframe with our engagement photos too — and we still look at those more than a year later, they’re just stunning. For your wedding day, Sarah Houston is everything you could ask for in every way. She became my confidant, best friend, and more on the most special day of my life. I could not be more grateful to have had her there, and to have her incredible photos now. Thank goodness she does non-wedding shoots so we can work with her again someday soon :) Seriously, you would be doing yourself a favor by booking with her! She is so amazing!

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.

Beck and Call Photography

  • Serves Gainesville, VA

Photography is a calling, it's one of those things that found me, not something I went looking for. In fact I would say it chased me down and dragged me into it. I absolutely couldn't be more happy about it though. It's like happy finds you every time you go to work... how can that be possible? I fell in love with documenting the homeless population in Denver Colorado, and after CBS discovered me drifted from stringing for the Denver Post to photographing the base at Quantico. Pretty soon my mom decided I was just in too much danger, and she arranged the marriage between me and weddings. I've been in love ever since.

Jennifer and Beck and Call Photography are a pleasure to work with. As a fellow wedding vendor, we are confident in her work and professionalism. Highly recommend!

Hi guys! I'm Sarah. I'm a fine art wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the DC area. My specialty is documenting your day in an authentic, beautiful and timeless style. I'm driven and inspired by light, nature and connection.

We were lucky enough to stumble upon Nova Soul when we were looking to do our engagement photos. Sarah was absolutely amazing and gave us the engagement photos of our dreams. When we unexpectedly had to cancel our destination wedding, because of the pandemic, Sarah was my first email. We were thrilled she was available to photograph our elopement ceremony. We had high expectations, because we already knew how amazing she was, but she absolutely blew it out of the water. She was able to capture the emotions, love, and all the beauty of our small intimate ceremony with our immediate families. Not only are the photos gorgeous, but Sarah herself is so kind, and easy to work with. I had never had professional photos done, she made me laugh and feel so comfortable. I don’t think I can properly explain how highly I recommend her!

Best Wedding Photographer EVER! I can't put into words how wonderful Jenna is and how much my husband and I loved having her photograph our wedding! Photography was very important to us and the images Jenna captured on our wedding day are nothing short of a dream! We knew shortly after meeting with her that we were a great personality match and she's someone we'd enjoy spending our wedding day with. Leading up to our wedding, Jenna was very supportive and willing to meet with us to discuss details. We had already had engagement photos done by the time we met with Jenna, so we met her in person for the first time on our big day but it felt like we already knew each other. She was so flexible and positive throughout the day (which did include some surprise rain showers, putting us a bit on edge). She really listened to us and understood what we were looking for and was just so fun to have around on our wedding day- all our family and friends loved her. Jenna continued to communicate regularly from our wedding up until our gallery was ready. She provided some sneak peeks quickly, and was even willing to edit and send a few specific photos in the timeframe while she was editing. We could not love our gallery more - especially the film photos! Highly recommend Jenna for wedding photography - she's awesome and you will have nothing to worry about on your big day!

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.

We absolutely loved working with Maddy! She was professional, talented, and made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoots. She truly nailed the sweet romance we were trying to achieve through our pictures. Our package also included an engagement session and the photos came out beautiful! We had an incredible selection to choose for our save the date and website photos. Maddy’s system is also so easy to use. She uploads all photos online and gives you the option to download into a Google Photos album so it makes sharing with friends and family incredibly simple. In the days leading up to our wedding, Maddy was organized and helpful, even prepared for the rainfall predicted for our wedding! The day turned out gorgeous and so did our pictures. We are so happy we chose Maddy to capture our big day and I know you will too!

Sitting here obsessing over all of the photos that Kristin has taken throughout my wedding journey! I don't know where to start because she is just absolutely wonderful! She offered an amazing wedding package so she did our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, rehearsal, and our wedding day! My husband and I are not fond of getting our picture taken, but Kristin made us feel so relaxed and comfortable and walked us through every step and pose! We have been amazed by everything she has done that even our sneak peeks gallery from the wedding day is blowing our minds! We're like, wait, there's more?! YES! We can't wait! Kristin's husband even brought his drone and got some amazing aerial shots after our ceremony, then during the reception, Kristin was on the dance floor getting every shot possible! I am so excited to see the final results! Highly recommend!

We were incredibly fortunate to have Xiao as our wedding photographer, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she was professional, thoughtful, and dedicated, providing us with tremendous support every step of the way. Before the wedding, Xiao took the time to consult with us in detail, discussing everything from the style and color of my dress to the bridesmaids’ outfits. Her exceptional aesthetic sense and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the photos would come together beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Xiao arrived fully prepared with an impressive array of photography equipment. She was patient, encouraging, and meticulous, guiding us through each pose and shot. She also thoughtfully scouted and selected stunning locations, making every photo feel unique and special. The group photos with our bridesmaids and groomsmen were especially fun and creative, with multi-angle shots that captured so much joy and personality. Throughout the ceremony and reception, Xiao worked tirelessly to capture every meaningful moment, leaving us with countless beautiful memories to treasure. After the wedding, her professionalism continued—she promptly created a shared folder so we could review and choose our favorite photos together. Her editing work was both fast and flawless, bringing out the best in every shot. Our entire experience with Xiao was exceptional. She is not only a highly skilled photographer but also someone who brings care, creativity, and passion to her work. Thanks to her, our wedding day has been preserved in the most beautiful and heartfelt way. We are beyond grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly talented and dedicated photographer.

The photos are phenomenal, she took the small amount of feedback we had to heart and incorporated it, and she made sure we were all on the same page about the style of photographs we wanted.

Each event, at it’s root, is a story. It’s a unique story of that moment in time- a newborn coming home, a bride and groom embracing or a grandmother on her 85th birthday - and it's an important moment to hold still. My role as a photographer is to tell that story as honestly as I can. I want people to look back on these memories and remember it exactly as they experienced it. That’s why I aim for transparency in my photography that neither adds nor takes away from the moments that I am documenting.

Awarded Best of Zola
Meredith was an absolute joy to work with! Her warm, fun energy instantly put us at ease, allowing us to feel comfortable and be ourselves, which truly shines through in our photos. She has an incredible eye for not only capturing the background, lighting, and surroundings perfectly but also bringing out the unique personality of everyone she photographs. We did our engagement photoshoot in NYC, which captured a cool, chic city love story, and our wedding day photoshoot at a vineyard in Charlottesville, VA, on a beautiful summer day. The vineyard setting was so dreamy, and Meredith effortlessly captured the natural beauty of the day, making every moment look timeless and elegant. When you look at her pictures, it feels like you’re reliving those moments. Her shots are full of life—not stiff or posed—but vibrant and authentic, capturing the true essence of each moment. Meredith was also incredibly kind and easy to work with, offering thoughtful advice both before and during the shoot. This was our first time having professional photos taken, but thanks to her, we felt relaxed from the start. Her work is a perfect mix of classy, modern, and elegant, with a splash of fun and a seize-the-day vibe. We’re already excited to work with her again—hopefully for our next photoshoot, when we have a baby! Cannot recommend her enough - just do it, book her!!!

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

We absolutely loved working with Hannah (and Anthony, her partner, as second shooter)! Hannah was so on top of all things planning-wise and even helped me to figure out non-photography-related wedding things. She's so friendly and personable, it's amazing how she can really dial in on what you want and need. On the day of our wedding, Hannah was such a calming presence, working with our day-of planner to make sure things went off without a hitch and all the photos we wanted captured were shot. Seriously, cannot recommend Hannah enough!

My name is Myles Katherine. I'm a photographer to my core and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to do what I love! Through my job, I have met so many incredible couples, artists, models, families and friends. After living in Portland, Oregon from 2012-2019, I relocated to Richmond, Virginia. However, I'm open to traveling anywhere and everywhere! I cannot make it through the day without coffee, my cat and (obviously) my cameras. I'm looking forward to being a part of your unique love story and capturing it in a beautiful, unconventional way. -Myles Katherine

Myles was our photographer for our wedding at the VA Living Museum and she exceeded our expectations (which were already high after looking through her website)! She really captured the joy of the day in such an artful and unique way. The film pictures were a particular highlight, so beautiful and elevated beyond your typical wedding photos! Myles was able to incorporate the natural landscape of the museum grounds into the photos as well. I usually feel pretty awkward getting my picture taken but Myles and her husband Chris made us and our family feel so comfortable there was no awkwardness at all! It was a privilege to work with Myles!

Hi! I'm Katie, an East Coast & Destination Wedding Photographer, based in Washington D.C. After taking a high-school photography class–it quickly became clear that I loved the art of photography. Soon after graduating, I was offered an internship position near Chicago that allowed me to continue to dive into the world of studio lighting, image editing, and commercial photography; continuing to hone on the technical skills that often get left behind when you have the digital screen to instantly see your work. A few years later, I photographed a friends wedding and it became crystal clear that this was exactly what I wanted to pursue.

Oh my goodness! Kate Grace is the best wedding photographer in the game. I am SO glad we snagged her to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire process from booking to engagement shoot to COVID-19 wedding planning - Kate was there for us each step of the way. On my wedding day I was barely stressed because I knew Kate would capture every moment perfectly. She took every shot (and then some!!!) on my shot list and delivered THE MOST BEAUTIFUL gallery. Kate even worked with our videographer and sent them pictures for our wedding video. Kate is INCREDIBLE. Hire her. You WILL NOT regret it. As long as we are in the DC area, Kate is our photographer.
