Portraits By Sean

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lester, WV



I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My partner and I hired Sean for our engagement photos and we were extremely impressed! He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill. He also made sure the job was well done and he got all the photos that we could have wanted. We had a blast working with him! The photos are stunning and I genuinely can’t stop looking at them! My partner and I tend to feel awkward getting our picture taken but Sean created such a comfortable space for us. We would highly recommend booking Sean.

I have unofficially been the family photographer for years. Whether it be formals or family reunions, I’m usually the one behind the camera. The two things I value most are my family and our memories. What better way to engrain a memory than having it in a timeless photo? That leads me to where I am today! I am here to learn, grow and along the way help other people freeze their memories in time, as I do my own. When I’m not behind the camera or with my nose in a book, I am with my two fur babies; Sadie and Nash; my life partner and best friend, Isaiah; or my family. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to meet you soon!

Kelsey Sledd Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication was strong and on time throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was amazing, perfect, and excellent. Kelsey was so helpful, listened to everything I wanted, and was there for me throughout the day whenever I needed it.

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

While we ultimately went with a different photographer for our wedding day due to budget constraints (he is a friend of a friend who is a professional and offered us a discount we couldn’t not accept), I am confident Megan would have done an incredible job capturing all the special moments of our big day. Her affordable and stunning portfolio make her an excellent value for any couple planning their wedding.

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 27-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.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

My wife and I were so thankful that we chose Danielle as our wedding photographer. She is highly skilled, organized, and very easy to work with. She was an invaluable resource for us throughout the wedding process. In the months leading up to our wedding, she was like a wedding planner to us, guiding us through our itinerary, answering our questions, and asking important questions to help make our big day flow as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day itself, she put us both at ease and was very flexible when we decided to make a few last-minute switches. Most importantly, she helped capture so many amazing memories with her beautiful photos. We would highly recommend Danielle and Moon Rising Photography.

HOME STATES: California & Massachusetts | Hey, I'm Justina! in the dead of winter I'll be that person walking around with my iced coffee in one hand and airpods blasting underground hiphop or melodic punk all while thrifting for vintage treasures at your local savers. you'll also find me at creative meetups in boston, playing apex legends or catching up on reality when I'm able to find free time.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Justina as our wedding photographer, and she exceeded all of our expectations! Just looking at her work, we knew she was the one. From our first meeting, it was clear that Justina possesses incredible talent and a true passion for her craft. Her ability to capture the essence of every moment is unmatched. Throughout the planning process, Justina was exceptional in her communication. She took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and any specific shots we wanted. Her responsiveness and professionalism made us feel confident and relaxed, knowing we were in great hands. On our wedding day, Justina went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her attention to detail and creative approach were evident in every shot. She managed to capture not just the big moments but also the candid, heartfelt interactions that made our day so special (and were a huge priority to us). Her warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for us and our guests to feel comfortable in front of the camera. When we received the final photos, we were blown away by the quality and artistry. Each image was a masterpiece, reflecting the joy, love, and excitement of our celebration - my husband and I both got emotional going through them together. I truly never expected to see such joy captured in every moment of our day, and I am so grateful. Justina has a remarkable ability to tell a story through her lens, and we will cherish these memories forever. How lucky are we to have found her! If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, Justina is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hey yall! I’m Madalyn, the owner of Drozephotographs and hopefully your new photographer friend! I am an Alabama based licensed photographer who loves every minute of it. If you’re looking for an easygoing yet professional photographer, I’m yours! ❤️ The thing that I stress the most importance of is soaking in the moments. Whether that be your first sip of coffee in the morning with your girls, or your big moment when you’re walking down that beautifully stretched aisle. Every moment is so so so important. I would love to be the one that tells your story through your littlest and biggest moments.

Choosing Drozephotographs as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we first spoke with her we were impressed by her skills and how easy going she was working with clients. She was understandable and checked in with us to go over our wedding day. She even helped us make a guideline we were comfortable with to help on our big day. Her work is simply beautiful, perfect, and incredibly unique - she captured the most natural and beautiful moments of our special day! Drozephotographs helped us create a schedule so we didn't have to worry about a thing, and made sure we felt at ease in front of the camera, providing helpful tips and poses that made our photos stand out. It never felt awkward or forced, and every single picture she took was truly one of a kind. I’m still in awe over these photos no one could’ve done a better job!

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and I am so happy that you are considering including us to be a part of it. I commit to a limited number of Weddings per year to ensure that your day remains a priority. Photography is all about connection and your photographer will be one of the biggest and longest-lasting connections you’ll share with any of your wedding vendors. I strive to create beautiful portraits, but also a lasting relationship with my couples. When you book with us, you are not just a client, you become part of the JYP family! I am honored to have the opportunity to laugh…to cry…to share your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start? Jessica is probably hands down the easiest person we worked with on our wedding. We unintentionally scheduled our wedding on Mother's day and this was obviously an important day for her, but she worked with us anyway. She worked through our foolishness (my husband and I are incapable of being serious in most situations), and often would join in on the fun. She also provided a schedule of events which was incredibly helpful for me as I had no idea what I was doing. Jessica is an amazing photographer, but that is not really the best quality here. She is an amazing person all around and I highly recommend her!

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Kelsey is one of a kind! We were a bit nervous about the engagement photoshoot and many things went wrong that day, but she managed to calm us down and put us in a right mood! She was there for us and made us enjoy the photoshoot so much. We had a blast! And then when we saw the pictures I almost cried-she captured such genuine moments. She is highly professional, friendly, accommodating, and just a fun person to be around. We loved our photoshoot so much that we ended up booking a wedding with her too! We highly recommend her services!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the best experience with Shannon on our wedding day! She was very communicative before hand and the day of was ran very smoothly. She made us all feel very comfortable and stress free. She provided us an awesome sneak peek shortly after our wedding and the online gallery within the promised time frame. Her work is beautiful and exactly what we could have hoped for! Her services are also very affordable and customizable to what you desire or can afford. I would highly recommend!!

Salvatore (Milieu) made our wedding day even more special than we could have expected. We LOVED his beautiful and creative ways of capturing our most special moments (if you look at his portfolio, you will know exactly what I mean). He is so very kind, professional, and made us so comfortable. He was so accommodating and helped us come up with a way to get all of the photos we wanted within the time frame we had to work with.
