Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Promani Weddings for our wedding photography. We spoke with Ben originally to set up the contract. He was very accessible and prompt to respond to our questions. Our photographer for the day was Malak. She was amazing! We love the photos from the day and are so grateful we will have these memories for years to come. Aside from gorgeous photos, she was also a lovely person and incredibly kind. She made sure we got each of the photos we wanted, was flexible when changing around the order of the shot list, and she had some great ideas for locations given it was a somewhat wet and overcast day from the rain. We are so very pleased – thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

Cesario Mendez Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

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.

Wow can’t say enough amazing things about this photographer, he truly was one of the highlights of our wedding. Don’t walk to book him run! He was super focused, detail orientated, bilingual, fun and laid back. He captured so many incredible behind the scene moments and my family kept saying we didn’t even see him take that picture. We were nervous about not knowing how to pose. He made us so comfortable and had amazing poses. He captured intimate moments of our families reactions during the ceremony, speeches and partying. He helped the day flow so well and we couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures were. The turn around time for the pictures was also super fast. We had a bad experience with a photographer prior who ended up being a scammer and he truly saved our wedding day!! Thank you!

We loved working with Creative Interpretations Photography for our wedding! Paul and Ryan were extremely professional yet warm - keeping us on schedule while making sure we felt comfortable and happy. Their communication was always speedy and helpful in planning details. Most importantly, they captured beautiful, artistic photos that we will treasure forever. My sister and I were struggling with my dress bustle when Paul swooped in to help get it done, and Ryan made sure to grab a special moment with my newborn that I just adore.

Love Knot Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hi, I am Bhanu Vee, The creator behind Eternal Vistas.

Instead of stiff poses, I guide you with gentle cues to let your authentic chemistry shine through. I go out of my way and step into wedding planner shoes if that's what my couple needs. Lets Talk !

Awarded Best of Zola
Nailed Our Wild Woodland Wedding! Eternal Vistas were absolute legends for our wedding out in the sticks. We’re not fancy folks—give us dirt under our boots and a good campfire any day—so we were stoked when they rolled with our vibe like champs. They didn’t blink at our weird ideas, like stringing up mason jar lanterns in the trees or timing the vows for that golden-hour glow. Man, the pics they snagged are unreal—rugged, raw, and full of that heart-pumping, ‘we just got hitched’ energy. They even caught my nephew sneaking s’mores before the ceremony, which still cracks us up. And the way they framed those misty forest shots? Pure magic—like something out of a fairy tale, but with our muddy sneakers in the mix. Bhanu and team turned our chaotic, love-soaked day into memories we’ll be showing off at every barbecue for years. If you want photographers who get the real stuff, these are your people!

I am a wedding photographer based in Providence, Rhode Island. My love for photography began over a decade ago and has been an integral part of my creative journey ever since. With a solid foundation in fashion photography, I bring a unique perspective to capturing weddings. Five years ago, I shot my first wedding, and it was an unforgettable experience. Being part of such a special day and bringing joy to my couples is incredibly important to me. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and significant moments of your wedding day, ensuring that each photograph tells the unique story of your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously. I will be there to support you through the entire wedding process and then fist pump along side you on the dance floor. My main goal is to provide you with an incredible experience. A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

I’m so happy I hired Jessi as my wedding photographer. We have gorgeous pictures where we look happy and natural. Jessi takes the time to talk with you prior to your shoots to get a feel for what you’re looking for in your photos. One of the best parts is before your wedding day, you fill out a form telling her what you want including names of people to have in photos so you don’t miss anything during the chaos of the big day. She’s wonderful, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and captures beautiful moments. I love the lighting she uses so that it’s not overly one style (such as dark and moody vs. light and airy). She just goes off the best lighting available in the photo and makes everything gorgeous. You’ll be blown away by her talents!

They are skilled at taking candids that capture the emotions of the moment. We’ve had the pleasure of taking engagement, wedding, and maternity photos with Anji and Pete, and look forward to continuing to work with them to capture and share the special moments in our lives. We could not recommend them more highly.

Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

Awarded Best of Zola
D.S. Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, David was responsive and professional, quickly answering all our calls and emails. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and captured beautiful, creative shots that perfectly caught the joy and energy of our special day. David was fun and easygoing to work with, seamlessly going with the flow as our schedule shifted. For an awkward couple like us when it comes to posing and taking pictures, David made us feel really comfortable and made us laugh throughout the whole shoot. And on top of his great service, he offered the best pricing we found among the photographers we considered. We couldn't be happier with the high-quality photos that now allow us to remember our wedding day. Highly recommend D.S. Photography!
