Our planners recommended our GeeQ Photos, and I’m so glad they did. From our first initial meeting with George, everything was so well organized and seamless.

During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work. We would highly recommend George and GeeQ Photos team again and again. They were amazing, and I pray God continues to elevate his business to greater heights.

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

I've worked with this photographer a few times and each time it has been like a fairy-tale shoot. An ordinary couple, set in a scene to make heads turn as they walk by. It's truly a magical experience. And then getting the pictures back is a whole set of feelings. My shoots have been with my boyfriend and with each picture I recieved back, you could truly see the love and energy captured in time. Forever cherished memories.

Hi! I'm Meghan. I've had a love for photography since my parents bought me my first camera for Christmas in 2001. I took pictures of anyone and anything that sat still for more than .03 seconds. The more pictures I took, the more I loved it. It became a passion of mine, but it wasn't until later that I had the dream of starting my own business. In the meantime, I teach middle school - 7th grade Language Arts to be exact. Yes, it's exactly as crazy as you're imagining, likely even more so. Teaching has taught me two things: patience and how to laugh at myself.

Working with Meghan is always a treat. Clients love her because she is high-energy, hilarious, and just amazing behind the lens. Meghan has a creative eye for those candid moments and really captures the most important moments on a wedding day. Seeing her work first-hand, it's beautiful. Her images truly reflect the emotions shared between two people. I'm constantly amazed and inspired by her work. There is a reason she is my favorite photographer to work with. She knows how to read a room and a situation, so nothing gets missed. Wedding days go by quickly, but with Meghan, they go by even quicker because you're having so much fun. She's like that extra wedding party member you didn't know you needed. She's got your back. If you're looking for professionalism, stunning photos, and a good time, you want Meghan Luckenbill.

Imagine this: an evening just for the two of you, where you can finally slow down and simply *be* with each other. No distractions, no stress—just the warmth of your partner’s hand in yours, the quiet laughter you share, and that feeling of being completely seen and loved. That’s exactly what I want to capture for you. When you look at your photos, I want you to hear the songs that mean the most to you, the ones that play in the background of your story.

Jessica is an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. The patience she had and the creativity she showed was something many people aren’t gifted. Whatever image I had she always did a great job making it come to life. Whether it was a family shoot with all my nieces and nephews or a shoot with just me and my wife under a freezing waterfall to our elopement day, she managed to encapsulate emotions, personality and create memories that I will cherish forever! I highly recommend Jessica for all your photography needs! Throw your ideas at her and I promise she will make it come to life!

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

That’s how the pictures make you feel!!! She is very professional, patient and just great to work with. She also is willing to help with other wedding things if you need her to. She always asked if there is anything I can do to help. Book her!! You will not be disappointed!!

We're Jim & Dakotah - a Virginia Beach-based husband and wife photographer/videographer duo. We specialize in delivering elevated-edgy imagery to wedding couples that seek something a little more dramatic and polished.

Dakotah and Jim are simply a phenomenal photo/video team. Their work speaks for itself- it's stunning and we couldn't be any more pleased with what we've received. Almost more importantly, though, they were just perfect to work with. Dakotah has a way about her that makes you feel like you've been friends forever. My husband, who is typically more reserved and camera-shy, thanked me for choosing her because he was able to feel so relaxed with her behind the camera. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Dakotah made us feel relaxed and seen in what our vision was. She ensured we got exactly the shots that we wanted- nothing more, nothing less ("nothing more" in the context that we didn't want to feel like our wedding day photos/portraits were bulldozed by any family members! We got above and beyond of the candid shots!) She listened intently to us, honored our wishes, and provided stunning work. The moments that Dakotah captured are breathtaking and will be admired for the rest of our lives. We're so happy to have chosen her to capture the most exciting times in our lives and we will certainly be working with her again in the next chapters of our lives! And Jim- he's awesome. Our wedding day video was everything we could have wanted and more.

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Can't recommend Sam enough. Not only is his work some of the best I've seen and is well known around the world, but he is also just super chill to work with. He lets videographers do their thing and is very easy going with the couples and vendors he works with.

Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session. We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with 750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more. When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day.

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

When all of our wedding plans fell through because of COVID-19, we opted for a socially-distant micro wedding at a park. We somehow made it happen with just over 48hrs to plan! We knew we wanted a photographer to help us capture our special day, even if it didn't have all the bells and whistles, and were so lucky to have found Cassidy on such short notice. He was such a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly flexible (we changed our venue the night before the wedding) and very communicative. To top it off, our photos turned out so beautiful and made our adhoc wedding seem a bit more romantic and put together. He captured laughter and love! We loved his work and will recommend him to friends.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Alli - your Delaware-based, multi-published wedding photographer! At the end of the day, your wedding is not about the photos, it’s about the fleeting moments and the emotions that come with them. My approach centers around photographing these candid, emotional moments to produce a timeless recollection of your day. Years of experience has led me to understand the ins-and-outs of weddings, allowing me to provide expertise to guide you through the whole process (and make tons of jokes along the way).

Greg and I have a very unique love story. Our wedding day was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. On this day, we got remarried to each other. Something that I never imagined I would do. But, after years of being apart I realized the only thing missing from my life was the constant presence of my best friend. Maturity makes an extreme difference in a person's outlook. We are truly more in love today than we have ever been and only wish to live every day loving one another for the remainder of our days. With that being said, finding a photographer to capture those beautiful moments so accurately is difficult. But, Alli McGrath captured every moment of that day beautifully! We have used her for numerous events! She actually photographed our daughter first. Then, she did our son's engagement photos, our engagement photos and both our wedding and our son's wedding. SHE IS SO AMAZING AND TALENTED! AND AN ALL AROUND WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING! We love her!
