Cat was the photographer for our elopement and it was an amazing experience. One thing everyone said at different points in the day was how comfortable Cat made us feel during the photoshoot. It was an incredibly hot day in the woods, and Cat was able to make us all laugh and have a fun time even while we were melting. She photographed both the ceremony itself and helped us do a photoshoot after, and the pictures turned out absolutely incredible. They are so creative and professional, and we would not have been able to pick a better photographer for our special day. We highly recommend Cat for any queer couples or any couples whose wedding days don't look entirely traditional - Cat made it easy for us and the results turned out fantastic!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Mason(aka Anchor Pictures) all the praise they deserve. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Mason and Savannah previously and found them to be so sweet and easy to work with as well as extremely professional. I knew that when I got married they would be at the top of my list for videography and I was so glad they were available! My husband still talks about how absolutely sweet and helpful Mason was on the day of our wedding, assisting him in getting his bow tie on when no one else knew how. He worked perfectly with our photographer team and even when we ran slightly behind schedule due to hair and makeup, he was on it with getting all the shots needed quickly so we could get back on track. The videos themselves I could watch on repeat constantly, every day, for the rest of my life. I still cry watching the full video and cannot stop smiling when I watch the teaser and full 8 minute cut. The drone shots, the details, all cut together seamlessly with our music and clips of the ceremony and speeches. Mason’s work is beautiful, the camerawork and shots are breathtaking and made my humble backyard wedding look like a high budget royal wedding video. I love it sooooo much and am forever grateful that we will one day be able to watch this video with our children as well as show other family members who were not able to make it that day. Thank you SO much Anchor Pictures, I cannot recommend them enough!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.)

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.

Our wedding was a couple months ago and it was fantastic, I’m just now coming down off the high. I give Aran a lot (like all) of the credit for our wedding day being perfect, he 100% kept the day flowing seamlessly as it should - which I can promise, I had absolutely nothing to do with. Both my husband and I are huge music lovers with tastes that are all over the place and a large number of our guests were older family members. I know that we couldn’t be an easy crowd to please, but he did, everyone had a great time and I will always be grateful for that. Aside from being a fantastic DJ, he was a great person to have at our wedding. I would 100000% recommend him.

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 was our photographer for our wedding. It may have been a micro wedding but our pictures were grand! Jessica captured details that I could never thank her enough for. She listened to what my thoughts were and collaborated with her own vision which resulted in the most beautiful photographs! I will always recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Tyler made our Anniversary a night to remember. He serenaded my wife at dinner as we celebrated 16 years together. He was able to take a list of songs I asked him to sing and create a beautiful arrangement in less than a week, including learning a custom song that had been written for our wedding. He would be a Blessing to have perform for any occasion. I highly recommend this wonderful artist.

Nicole Thomas Photography

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.

I recommend Nicole Thomas to be your wedding photographer with utmost enthusiasm. I have heard from a friend that Nicole has many years of experience and this wedding photography experience and is the best of the best, both in terms of the quality of her pictures and her personality. Her work really stood out from other photographers, and “told a story.” Both the amazing quality of her work and her willingness to work with me and my husband on the day of our wedding back in February 2022, made her an easy choice for us to be our wedding photographer. Nicole’s portfolio is unique from the others, and you can witness her dedication and respect for work. I am very grateful for her to capture those memories forever so me and my husband can look back on that day and cherish these moments.

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.
