Hi, I’m Heather! (that's me on the left) I'm a wedding photographer with a deep passion for capturing the genuine moments and raw emotions that make each wedding day so special. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling through photography, and over the years, I’ve developed a style that combines artistry with authenticity. My goal is to not just take pictures, but to tell the unique love story of each couple I work with, from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate details. My husband is a wedding videographer. So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

From the moment we first contacted HEARTS in FOCUS, their communication was stellar. They responded to our initial inquiry within a day and were very attentive throughout the planning process, answering all of our questions quickly. On the day of the wedding, the photographers were professional, discreet, and captured every moment beautifully. The final photos were delivered just a few weeks later and the quality is truly outstanding - we're thrilled with how they turned out. HEARTS in FOCUS provided exceptional value and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, reliable wedding photographers.

  • Serves Mechanicsville, MD

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

We received our photos from our July wedding and WOW is all I can say! Ashley and Michelle managed to capture our day perfectly. We chose bright colors for our summer wedding and didn't want them to look muted from editing. Ashley ensured us she captures "real life" and boy, did she deliver!! The colors pop and look stunning. We were so comfortable with Ashley & Michelle all day, and they really listened to what we wanted. They helped create a timeline for the day along with must take photos and kept everything moving & organized. There were multiple check-ins throughout the planning process, complete with thorough questionnaires that helped answer a lot of questions. We also used Ashley for our engagement photos, which helped us develop a relationship early on and we love those photos just as much as our wedding photos!!

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head.

Welcome to JFP, where passion meets precision. As a dedicated photographer by heart and an aerospace engineer by profession, I bring a unique perspective to capturing your most cherished moments. My goal is to create a seamless, luxurious experience for every couple, ensuring your wedding day flows effortlessly. I understand that your wedding is one of the most significant days of your life, and I’m committed to making it memorable. With an eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, I specialize in delivering a blend of documentary style images and classic portraits that reflect your unique love story.

Where do I even begin with this review?! Jennifer has been an absolute gift to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and now that we just go our sneak peeks back, we know we made the right choice with her! We did not use Jennifer for our engagement pictures, so I knew I was taking a risk when hiring her as our wedding day photographer. I was confident with what I saw on social media and our email correspondence ensured me that she would make a great fit for us. She was communicative along the entire way and was intentional when asking for our shot list. On the day of, it was very clear that she was very purposeful in capturing all of my preferred shots and made a dedicated effort to be present for each moment of the day. Jennifer was very professional and both her and her second shooter, Alex, found fun and creative ways to capture unique imagery from our ceremony and reception. She was attentive to our needs as a couple, made lots of great photo recommendations, and did not push us to do any pictures/poses we weren't into. Jennifer knew we wanted to be a part of cocktail hour and was happy to accommodate all of our formal pictures before the ceremony. She was discreet during the ceremony and captured lots of wonderful group shots at the reception. A week before the event she was happy to add on a few additional hours from our original contract. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Meet Katelyn, the visionary behind the lens, the master of capturing love stories; and a true artist with an impeccable eye for detail, an innate ability to freeze time, and the unique gift of encapsulating the raw emotions, intimate moments, and cherished memories that make weddings so extraordinary. From a young age, she discovered the power of storytelling through her mom's scrap books and National Geographic magazines, sparking an undying fascination with capturing the essence of life's most profound moments. She studies under renowned photographers, soaking up their wisdom and honing her own unique style; authentic photojournalism.

Choosing Katelyn as our wedding photographer was undoubtedly one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding day! We had the pleasure of seeing her work firsthand at a friend's wedding, with who knows how many cameras strapped on! Seeing her attention to detail firsthand and the beautiful quality of our friends photos, she was first on our list for a consultation. From our first call, Katelyn embraced our vision with enthusiasm and professionalism. We knew we wanted a documentary-style photographer with the option of film photos (we loved that Katelyn includes these already) who could capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of our wedding with our lively group, and Katelyn delivered! Despite our initial nervousness about being in front of the camera, Katelyn made us feel incredibly comfortable. Having an engagement shoot beforehand was a great practice run, she has an incredible talent for putting people at ease, and this truly shines through in the photos. We have never felt so photogenic! Our album turned out better than we could have dreamed up. It is truly reflective of us and our day. Complete with details of my treasured Kirkland sweatpants on the way to our venue contrasted with my dress glam Katelyn’s commitment to us was truly exceptional as she had a family loss shortly before our wedding. It would have been more than understandable for her to need more time away or to find us a replacement. Despite this, Katelyn remained fully committed to capturing our day and we are so so grateful. Her dedication and professionalism during such a difficult time speaks volumes about her passion for her work and for her clients. Katelyn is a true artist and an amazing person. Her work exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our wedding team. The only question we have is how early is too early for a vow renewal so we can hire her again!

That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

There are only good things to say about working with Maggie! We booked her for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding day. During the engagement session, she captured some true gems by helping us stay comfortable and true to ourselves. Leading up to our wedding day she was communicative, made sure she understood what our vision/priorities were, and worked well with our planner. On our wedding day, she was so fun to work with, got some beautiful shots of the big moments, and some incredible shots of little ones, too. Even just in our sneak peaks from our wedding, there are so many lovely candids amidst well-placed staged family/couple shots. She has great vision and good ideas and is fun to be around for the process! Regardless, her work speaks for itself. We highly recommend booking Maggie for your engagement and wedding photos!!

Rob Jinks Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Mechanicsville, MD

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.

I enthusiastically recommend Rob for all your photography needs. He is super personable, affordable, and his photos are absolutely stunning. Rob photographed our wedding and what initially set him apart was his video messages and desire to have video meetings (we got married during the COVID-19 pandemic). At first, we found it a bit unusual, but we quickly realized that the video calls made it so much easier to get to know Rob and build a connection, particularly during a time when in-person meetings aren't an easy option. We had a few video calls to talk through our vision and hopes for the wedding day. Rob also walked us through examples of weddings he had done that would be similar in style to ours so we could get a sense of his artistic approach. We could immediately tell that he was very thorough and detail-oriented. As we were planning out the day, Rob gave super helpful suggestions, demonstrating his knowledge of what worked in the DC area (including at the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and the DC War Memorial) from a photographer’s perspective, and helped us develop a realistic plan for the day given our time together. On the wedding day, Rob made us feel very comfortable - both with him and with having our photo taken as we were newbies at that. And all of our guests felt the same way as he was organizing the after ceremony family portraits. He also turned around the final product in a very timely manner (within one month), and provided a sneak peak within the first week. We were completely blown away. The photos were vibrant, creative, and captured the joy and memories of the day so well. Family and friends are already hanging them up in their houses.

I’m LINDSAY, the owner & main photographer of Lindsay Mack Photography. I am based out of Warrenton, Virginia. And I am bit of a sucker for real, authentic, passionate love. When I shoot your wedding, I want you to remember each moment, vividly. I want you to relive that first moment when your Dad saw you in your dress. I want you to feel the moment when the love of your life laid his eyes on you as you were approaching the aisle. The moment when the groomsman does a split on the dance floor? Yes, that too. ALL OF IT. I am here to serve you, to work along side you and to capture those once in a life time feels.

I cannot recommend Lindsay enough to anyone looking for a photographer! Our photos not only captured all the important moments and details through out our wedding day but also the authenticity of our relationships. You can see in the smiles of the portraits and candids all the love, silliness and those things that make us us! She truly does magic and you couldn’t go wrong.

Let us help create a collection of images that feels like poetry—rich, authentic, and filled with emotion.

We found Juniett & Julian from word-of-mouth to have a photoshoot to celebrate a milestone and we were just amazed at what they came up with! The entire process was incredibly seamless, from meeting them, coordinating locations (they have some good locations in mind!), to the actual photos we received. They work with you to ensure you're comfortable before, during, and they are communicative with after the photoshoot while performing final edits to the pics! Before Coordinating a time and place was easy, they're very flexible and timely! During They have a great eye in choosing lighting that best captures your features which is apparent when you see the final product. After Received the finalized pictures in a timely manner :) Personalities Gotta say this is the highlight of working with Juniett and Julian! They are very sweet, thoughtful, and a lot of fun to work with. We also had lots of laughs, oh the bloopers! In summary, if you need a photoshoot, these are your people! They are about their clients and it shows. We'll definitely come back to them, but until then, we'll just tell all our friends about the experience and recommend them :)

Hi! I'm Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

Emily made my husband and I feel super comfortable and we had a lot of fun working with her. She makes the awkwardness of photo shoots charming and fun and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photos. She truly captured our essence and made our day so special!

I'm a laid back, upbeat and silly (some might say incredibly funny, but whatever) person with a penchant for making everyone feel like an old friend. I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for a fun and talented photographer, then Rachel is a great choice! Rachel and I met the day of working a wedding together, where she was the photographer and my husband and I were the videographers. We all hit it off right away and captured the entire wedding day as a team, working together seamlessly even though we had just met. Why is this important for couples? Well, when your vendors work well together, you benefit! We were all looking out for each other throughout the day, helping to ensure that the photos and video were the best they could be for our couple. I would imagine that Rachel brings this same element of teamwork to every wedding she shoots. The pictures from the wedding day were awesome and Rachel was a delight to work with - hopefully we will be capturing many more weddings together!

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Jess, we knew she was our photographer, but not in the way that people say retrospectively. We were so excited after our meeting that we could barely wait until we got home to sign and tell her (we called out of joy) that she was going to be a part of our big day. She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work, the insanely efficient communication, and to have spent the last year working with someone who is truly excited and passionate to make your experience perfect.

Not only did she remember our wedding day details, but also she made an attempt (successfully) to remember all the names of our family members and friends. My husband and I were also blown away by her amazing talent of being in five places at once on our wedding day. Mikkel captured absolutely gorgeous photos that look bright and natural--exactly what we wanted! It is impossible to pick a handful of favorites from her gallery because they are all gorgeous.
