Photography By Jo

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

Hi! My name is Jo Mahaney. In addition to being a wedding photographer, I have become a professional boutonniere pinner, bonus bridesmaid, master timeline creator, manipulator of light, and emotional confidant. Primarily, I am there as your wedding photographer to ensure that--although your memory will fade with time--these photographs serve as vivid reminders of the joy in the season and the relationships that matter most. Photography by Jo began back in 2014 when I shot my first wedding for my roommates, while still in college. That year, I fell in love with weddings and have focused on those and other major family milestones ever since.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

Since 2010, Aaron Jay Photography has worked with dozens of families, couples and events. Aaron Jay Photography has always been a people-pleaser. We love photography because we get to see people smile, laugh and be joyful. There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than the look on a mother’s face as she sees the pictures he has taken of her children, or the look on a father’s face when he sees the pictures of his daughter on her wedding day. Aaron Jay Photography gets great satisfaction in knowing those moments we captured through a lens will be cherished forever.

Aaron is fabulous to work with! He is so easy, understanding and cooperative. Aaron’s personality is a perfect addition to our wedding staff. We would absolutely recommend him for any event!

I was supper nervous about the entire shoot with my fiancé but she made sure to make us feel relaxed and get lost in the moment. She was able to capture us in a way I will forever cherish and love. She was supper professional the entire time and listened to what we wanted and needed out of the shoot. I’m forever going to her for all my photo needs in the future.

Shawnee Custalow Studios

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

There's a feeling you get when someone you love smiles, when they laugh, when they take your hand in theirs. Those feelings are what I seek to capture. I combine the physical beauty of a moment with candid emotions to create heart-warming images that bring you back into the moment all over again.

Audrey was a dream photographer to have at our wedding! In addition to being so personable and having such a wonderful personality, she's an extremely talented artist!! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she really captures the moment. Looking through my photos I feel the excitement of that day! She is so sweet and made everyone feel so comfortable taking photos that the time flew by. I also felt like she was everywhere capturing all our moments -- I don't know how she did it all! We also received a lot of compliments about Audrey and how wonderful she is. Would definitely love getting to work with Audrey again.

Jessica was AMAZING to work with throughout the entire wedding process! We got the opportunity to work with Jessica for our engagement photos at Glacier National park in 2019 and were completely obsessed with our photos. So, when COVID kept changing our original wedding plans in Michigan and we decided on a small wedding out in Colorado we knew we had to have Jessica photograph our wedding. Jessica was always so quick to respond to texts/emails with any questions we had! Jessica is more than willing to go above and beyond for her clients. She is fun, professional, and makes the whole experience comfortable and easy. We couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer to work with and capture our Big Day!

Vanessa Bennish Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

Vanessa’s passion for everyone’s love story shines through from the moment you meet her. I’ve truly never met anyone that is as excited for someone else’s love and their love story. I believe this is what makes her so incredibly special and amazing at what she does. I wanted a warmer, boho vibe in our photos and we are absolutely obsessed with every moment, detail, and emotion captured during our special day. Vanessa’s professionalism and calming demeanor is also something that every wedding couple is lucky to have on their day. She used cues that make sense, wrangled our rowdy crowd with ease, and even had the littles ready for their red carpet debut in front of the camera. I can’t recommend Vanessa enough… I know I’ll be reaching out again for all of our special moments through life.

Alex Hines Photo & Co. 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

Alex Hines Photography is for the modern-styled couple who takes priority in tangible memories; memories that are timeless and unforgettable. Couples who value human connection and legacy. A wedding day is captured in a journalistic or documentary approach with very little guidance. With elegance and class, I specialize in off-guard flattering photos capturing in-the-moment emotion.

Alex was incredible to work with, start to finish. She was prompt to respond when we initially reached out to her, and we quickly setup a zoom call. We fell in love with her pure passion for what she does, and we felt fully comfortable and confident in her ability and professionalism. Alex kept up with us throughout the year long engagement and sent us helpful information along the way. She was responsive to messages on honeybook and always calm and confident—which helped ease any bridal anxieties I had! Alex did phenomenal work the day of the wedding. She was prompt, professional, and had a great vibe for our special day. She helped us scope out some fun, artistic spots to take photos and she made the whole day very special. I cannot wait to see the final images but I have no doubt that they will be beyond breath-taking. Alex—I hope we have more special occasions in the future that require your talent and vision! Thank you for ALL you did for us. -Kayla and George

  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

Hi - I'm Danielle. A wife. A mom to three wonderful children. A wedding photographer. I've been shooting weddings since 2010. 300++ weddings and counting. I love working with natural light, real moments, and images with energy and emotion. I would love the privilege of hearing your love story. If you'd like to inquire, please email or call to set up an interview.!

We hired Danielle Real for our engagement and wedding photos. She is a preferred vendor of District Winery, where we got married, and it was easy to see why. She’s a true professional and a master at photography. She made us feel at ease during our engagement photos by helping us choose the outfits that would work best with the setting and teaching us how to pose. On the day of our wedding, she was prompt and attentive. As a result of our productive planning meeting about a month before our wedding, she had a list of all the photos we wanted (most because of her great suggestions!) and we sailed right thru them. Bonus: she is a pro people-wrangler. She also knows the exact right spots for each kind of photos at District Winery which helped moved things along so much that we achieved our goal of not having to take any photos during cocktail hour so we could enjoy it too! We just finished going through all of our wedding photos and could not be happier - so many to love!

I am so excited you're here! My name is Erin, and I'm your Washington DC area wedding photographer. I'm a sucker for stunning natural light, and have a passion for preserving precious moments and everyday beauty. Big smiles, infectious laughter, colorful flowers and the clinking of champagne glasses are just a few of my favorite things.

Erin was a rockstar for both our DC micro-wedding and engagement shoot! From the very beginning, Erin was an exceptional communicator. She was flexible in scheduling, very responsive, and meticulously documented every detail to ensure nothing was overlooked. Her guidance was invaluable, from helping us choose the perfect location for the engagement shoot, to assisting in creating a seamless timeline for the wedding day. The photos themselves were absolutely stunning. Erin provided a great variety, including film and black & white shots, capturing the essence of our special moments beautifully. The delivery of the photos was impressively fast, with sneak peeks available within 24 hours! Erin helped us pose naturally and found the best backgrounds at our venues.

Since 2012, I have been creating authentic, organic images full of life and natural beauty. My passion is to capture the laughter, embraces, tears, and little moments occurring throughout your wedding day - I strive to create photographs that reflect the beauty that exists in the world around us, and provide something that each family would be proud to pass down from generation to generation.

Cat of SilverFire Photography has mastered her craft. She truly has an eye for photography and an artistry for capturing beautiful moments. We can’t stress how EASY and fun it was to work with her. Even after we spoke with her via zoom on our initial scouting phase for a photographer - my now husband and I instantly knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. She just has this genuine attitude towards things that is so infectious! We have lost count of the number of times people have said during and after our wedding how much they loved our photographer. We really appreciate how intuitive she is and her direction for poses was incredibly natural and endearing. She knows how to take the beautiful posed-photos as well as the candid b-rolls. We also booked the photo booth package and our guests loved it so much! It was such an honor to have her photograph our wedding. We also are thankful for her second shooter Jonathan who assisted in everything! The photos she gave were so beautiful. We were speechless and over the moon at these priceless forever moments she was able to capture. Seriously, you won’t regret having Cat/Silverfire be your official photographer. We’re beyond grateful, thank you for doing what you do. We wish you more success and you’ve made Alex and I forever happy with these photos, Cat!

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.

Hannah and her team were OUTSTANDING!! Every step of the process Hannah went above and beyond and really made me feel important and my ideas heard. She was always there and willing to jump in to help with anything and ease my stress on the wedding day. She was extra prepared for whatever and super professional yet down to earth and approachable. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease when taking the photos which really helps make them look and feel very genuine and not stiff and posed. When it came time to delivering the finished gallery we were blown away at just how many STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS photos she had captured and how fast she did it! We couldn’t have been more pleased. She was such a tremendous blessing and we were so so grateful she was a part of our special day. If you are on the fence about what photographer to hire, don’t hesitate any longer, she is the best and you will not regret choosing her and her talents!

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Madeleine was hands down the best wedding photographer I could have ever asked for. She is amazing with communication and she made sure that my husband and I's big day was both magical and stress free. She helped coordinate our first look, a special and timeless moment that we will never forget. I did not know what to expect for our first look and I was really nervous thinking about it, but she knew exactly how to set it up so that it was the most genuine and perfect moment of my life. She also did an outstanding job working alongside our wedding florist, as well as with our day of coordinators. We were able to get some amazing photos on top of a mountain/hill at our venue overlooking a valley. Despite the flowers for our half circle arch being situated all the way down at the ceremony area, Madeleine and our florist were able to work together to bring them up to the hill and do a coordinated photoshoot for us there. I loved seeing our gorgeous flower arch in two different locations at our venue. Everything about Madeleine Collins Photography is so professional, from the planning before the big day, to receiving all of the edited photos afterwards. The photos came out so beautifully and she did such a great job bringing out all the right colors and lighting. She knew exactly how to capture the lighting and our expressions. If you're still in between photographers and deciding, I can guarantee that you will not regret choosing Madeleine.

We cannot say enough great things about Katie! We booked her for both engagement pictures as well as our wedding. We took our engagement photos at the beach when it was still pretty cold out. During our session she got into the water to take the perfect shot, and the pictures turned out amazing! She is down to earth, easy to work with, and very accommodating. We never felt like it was an awkward photoshoot. She made it feel like we were just hanging out, being ourselves, and having fun. We cannot stop looking at our engagement and wedding photos. Our families really enjoyed her too. We highly recommend working with her and have already recommended her to others.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

We're Jay and Larissa, partners, parents, and documentary wedding photographers based in Chicago and capturing weddings around the world. We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. We've also been ranked among the world's best wedding photographers, but what matters most to us is what our couples think. Our goal is to blow your mind with photos that make your mother-in-law cry and your best friends say "holy shit!" If you want wedding photos that aren't just wedding photos, you're in the right place.

Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

As a wedding photographer, I focus on capturing the fun and genuine emotions that unfold throughout your special day. While striving to create stunning images that tell a story of the love felt by the couple and their loved ones on the wedding day. My goal is to not only provide beautiful photographs, but also to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all, allowing my couples to be themselves while I capture those candid moments that truly reflect the authenticity of the occasion.

Francesca is wonderful to work with. She is creative, artistic, professional and extremely sweet. She makes people feel at ease with the photoshoots. I have worked with her a few times and I highly recommend her. Not only she is talented, she is a wonderful human being.

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.

Erin was absolutely STELLAR. PHENOMENAL from start to finish. Couldn't have been more impressed or pleased with her on my wedding day. She worked so hard to get amazing shots, all the pics I asked for, and even some I wouldn't have thought of. Can't wait to see the results, I know they will be amazing. 3

My name is Amanda and I am the owner and dreamer behind Amanda MacPhee Studios! I specialize in weddings and branding! I love being a storyteller focused on JOY! Joy of being a bride, joy of following your dreams, joy from the little things in life. I want to capture it all! A little bit about me: I'm a fur mama, a Disney fan, and a taco fiend! Now put those three things together after a wedding filled with romance and joy, and that might be the best day ever! 😁

Amanda is a true artist. Her pictures are incredible and she captures each moment in such a special way. She was incredible to work with before, on our big day, and after the wedding. She also was a step ahead of us and always kept us up to date on all the plans. Amanda is kind, fun to work with, flexible, extremely talented, and always makes everything stress free especially for those not always comfortable with being in front of the camera. If you are debating who to choose for your big day, don't look any more! Choose Amanda, she's amazing!
