Lotus Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Gore, VA

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I fell in love with capturing weddings in 2017 and I have been hooked ever since!

Georgette took our engagement portraits in DC at sunrise and they are absolutely stunning images! Georgette’s energy and excitement about her work is truly infectious, and she made our shoot so enjoyable! We laughed the whole time and had so much FUN. Georgette did an awesome job of helping us find natural poses that photographed really well, while also embracing any spontaneous moments during the shoot (we love a jumping shot!) She captured our personalities so well. The images are absolutely stunning and bring back warm memories of our amazing experience capturing our engagement photos. :)

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
Megan is a phenomenal wedding photographer and arguably one of the best in the DC metro area! My husband and I initially hired Megan for our engagement shoot in January 2020 at Shenandoah Park. She was a tremendous help guiding us through the process, both in location and in the poses themselves. We ended the experience in great spirits and with even greater pictures. In fact, we clicked so much with Megan that we hired her to photograph our actual wedding in New Hampshire, which took place December 2021. We loved working with Megan because she makes the experience feel fun, relaxed and natural. She captured our true essence - between loving, fun, goofy and serious. She also has a fantastic eye for truly eye-catching shots, as you'll see below. Last but not least, Megan's personality is a breath of fresh air. Personable, professional and kind. We could not have asked for a better photographer on this journey.

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
I cannot recommend working with Sophia enough. She was communicative, prompt and very efficient. She really worked with us what we wanted for the day in a short time frame and the photos just speak for themselves. We truly could not be happier that we chose to work with her!

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner Abby is on my recommendation list because her editing style is unique and really resonates with some of my clients. She is easy to work with, she has a good attitude on wedding days even on those hot summer ones that sometimes can be hard to have a good attitude! She also has good sneak peak turnaround time so you aren’t feeling abandoned while she edits your whole gallery. She gives you a good little taste to hold you over until your full gallery comes out! Absolutely would recommend Abby to be your photographer!!

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!

I seriously cannot put into words how amazing Nam is. My now husband and I had never done a photoshoot together so I was nervous how we would be. Nam made it so easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She’s a gem! Our wedding went flawlessly because of her. She stayed on track and got every requested photo and then some. She fit right in with all of us, cracking jokes and all. She has such a great personality and will go the extra mile for “the shot”. Can’t recommend enough!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

Rob Jinks Photography

  • Serves Gore, VA

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

My husband and I are so happy we chose to work with Rob for our wedding day! From the very start of the process, Rob was personable and asked us many thoughtful questions about our love story, our vision for our wedding day, and why we wanted to invest in wedding photos. Perhaps more so than any other vendor, he took the time to get to know us and understand our values. Our fun engagement session introduced us to Rob's adventurous spirit and authentic approach to taking portraits. We're both a little camera shy but enjoyed the process and genuinely treasure our engagement pictures. On our wedding day, Rob was an oasis of calm and confidence. He even surprised us with a physical preview photo album shortly after the ceremony. He is a consummate professional, kept us on track through the planning process, and asked the best questions. We are so happy we chose Robs Jinks Photography and happily give him our highest recommendation.

I've been an avid photographer since 14, starting with a Nikon F3 film SLR from my grandparents. My passion led me to transform my hobby into a business after 13 years.

Hello!!! I’m so excited to connect. I’m a family and wedding photographer based in Northern Virginia! I love real moments, and focus and all the candid fun, no stress. This day, these moments will live forever and ever, and it’s my job and privilege as your storyteller to snap them all!

Becky was such a pleasure to work with. With little guidance, she captured the most beautiful pictures of our wedding ceremony, family, and candid shots on our wedding day. She was very reliable and on time; I had no concerns or stress about our pictures having Becky there. And I could not be happier—there are so many gorgeous shots that I have difficulty picking just a few favorites! For our engagement pictures, she was so flexible when coming into DC and helping manage our dogs while taking photos. With just a few images for inspiration, she directed our poses and moved us to several locations to ensure we captured everything we wanted. My husband and I are the worst picture takers, but she made everything easy and comfortable. I would recommend Becky tenfold! We can't wait to use her services again!

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

I am a full service wedding photographer. My approach to wedding photography focuses on the emotion of the event. That is what fascinates and moves me, that is what draws me to photography. I always do an engagement shoot with my couples, I think it is important to get to know each other before the wedding day, and it helps me to understand you as a couple. I like to get together at least once to just talk as well, the better you know me, the easier it will be for you to relax and focus on your wedding when I am looking at you the whole time.

The way he sees light through his camera and captures a once in a lifetime special moment lives forever in the images produced. We are forever greatful in the moment we shared that now has become a lifetime and generation of memories. From the bride: the pictures captured told the story of what took place on preparation before I walked down the aisle. We are a happy couple who are so blessed to do business with Paul. Paul is blessed with a special gift and makes you feel very comfortable. He builds a relationship with his clients. Paul gave us a scenario. We did our thing and he did his. During COVID he is understanding and flexible. We wish him nothing but the best!

I shoot lovers particularly in Virginia and across New England. Take me anywhere! Some places that are close to home are Dalton, Ohio. Boston and Provincetown, Massachusetts. Not to mention Shenandoah National Park and Coalton, WV.

Caty-Scarlett (and her second shooter, Sean) were an ABSOLUTE JOY to work with for our Shenandoah wedding! She jumped right into our vision and took the time to actually get to know us as a couple and the style we were looking for (documentary-esque/non-staged/natural). Clear, honest communication and incredibly helpful throughout the process on a very compressed timeline. She captured our family and friends emotions so beautifully over the course of our long weekend celebration and truly created pictures that we constantly reference. Attentive to the details, flexible and didn't pressure us, even took the time to remember our immediate family's names for group shots. Outstanding human being, we can't wait for our next adventure shoot!

Hello! My Name is Mary Winford. I am a DC wedding photographer who loves shooting weddings in Washington DC, but I shoot other places as well. I'm always excited to explore a new area. I was born and raised in North Carolina. I now live in Fredericksburg Virginia. It was a big change considering I've lived in North Carolina all my life, but I still travel back and forth to see my family. I am happy I have many awesome pictures to look back at when I miss them. Family and sharing memories with the people I care about is so important to me. That's one of the reasons why photography is so important to me.

Mary Winford Weddings was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was responsive and prompt via text and email, which was so helpful during the busy wedding planning process. Their work is truly inspired, with bright, dreamy and beautiful images that captured all the best moments of our special day. The crew was super kind and extremely helpful, offering lots of great ideas for poses and really treating our wedding like it was the most important event. They did an amazing job corralling the wedding party for group photos and got stunning shots of all the meaningful moments. We are thrilled with the artistic final images and would highly recommend Mary Winford Weddings to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography and videography!

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin was absolutely incredible!! He was able to impeccably capture the beauty and joy of the day. A lot of photographers we considered had beautiful photos, but the reason we went with Justin was because you could feel the joy come through the photos and it paid off! Justin sent us the high quality, well edited photos faster than I have ever heard any wedding photographer get pictures to the bride and groom and he made it very easy for us to share those pictures with family and friends. Not only did Justin deliver beautiful photos that captured the mood of the day, but he went above and beyond his photographer duties. When all of the bridal party was racing around with wet fingernails, Justin stepped in to help button the many buttons on my dress. When we were running late to get to the ceremony, Justin called the front desk at the venue to make sure our ride was waiting for us to get to the ceremony ASAP. I cannot recommend Justin enough!!!

On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

Ivy & Quartz Photography

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

After friends shared a photo of my then fiance and me at their own wedding, we hired the photographer who took it. This was Nina! That one photo inspired us to review the gallery of their entire wedding and then her portfolio and we were blown away. 7 months later our own wedding day arrived. My husband and I are the type of people who are wildly present and constantly forget to take photographs of our life together. We knew we wanted to capture this day without the photography becoming a chore or hindering our ability to do what we do best and enjoy our time. Nina was able to provide just that and was incredible (as was the second photographer she worked with for our big day). Nina seamlessly handled all the chaotic moments and pre-ceremony stress of the very emotional bride (me) in stride! With very little direction she navigated all aspects of a wedding day with absolute poise and grace. I cannot thank her enough for taking on such leadership and just GETTING IT DONE! Nina captured all the big and tiny pieces that go into a wedding and I felt her photo choices, angles, and poses perfectly captured the essence of me and my husband's personalities. At every avenue Nina was a professional, personable, and I never expected I could be so satisfied with a collection of photographs. THANK YOU SO MUCH NINA.

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.

Cesar was very clear about pricing from the get go as well as what is delivered with his package. He was very courteous and professional before, during, and after our event. The pictures he took to commemorate our wedding reception are beautiful. Our friends and family all love them. Thanks Cesar!
