Amber’s ability to capture the honest, meaningful and organic emotions of the day makes her one of the most sought after wedding photographers. She has spent years crafting a unique one of a kind experience for her clients with a combination of digital and film images. Her signature photography style is best described as chic, timeless and natural. She believes a wedding day should be documented through the eyes and heart of her clients, capturing the fleeting moments that they never want to forget.

Amber made me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Taking pictures with her felt so natural, just like she was there to really capture the day rather than us constantly posing, which I really appreciate. I was absolutely stunned when we got our gallery back. The care that Amber puts into composing the perfect image speaks for itself when you see the final product. There was no detail missing and i’m so glad we have these to look back on for the rest of our lives. I recommend Amber to all my newly engaged friends because the experience is unparalleled - she is the best!

Beyond happy with our decision of having Svenja as our photographer to capture our wedding day! Her attention to detail amazed me with all the special & intimate moments she captured especially the candid ones of our loved ones. Our wedding photos were breathtaking !! We received so many compliments on them. She even went above & beyond anything I’ve ever seen & surprised us with having some of our photos taken during the day displayed on a tablet during our wedding reception as a sneak-peek. Our guest enjoyed viewing them as much as we did! Prior to our wedding day she made sure to check in & was always willing to set up a call to go over the flow of the day of how I envisioned. She created a beautifully organized timeline that made the day less stressful & made sure to help keep me on that schedule to elevate added stress. The surprise packages in the mail before & after our wedding (printed wedding photos & a personable hand written note after) really showed how big of a heart and attention to detail she has! I could go on and on how happy I was with Svenja . I HIGHLY recommend her & will to any future brides ! You get a photographer & coordinator all in one!

It should be fun for you and your guests. Just be yourself as I capture all the happy, emotional, romantic and quirky moments that make you and your partner who you are.

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.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

This was my first time working with Yalford Photography and I was impressed by the detail of her timeline. We worked together to make sure everything coincided and made any adjustments as needed. On the day of the clients wedding we all worked together as a team to give the couple the best day. The photos are beautiful. Consider Yalford you won't regret it !

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!

I have an absolute passion for capturing genuine moments and the magic of love that couples share when marrying the love of their life. I love capturing every detail, every special moment you share, stunning portraits of you and your partner-- All of it! My goal is to capture breathtaking photos that take you back in time when you see them in a storytelling & photo-journalistic way and in a vibrant & airy style. Images that will be treasured throughout the years, not only by you but the following generations to come.

Giuliana provided the flexibility I needed. Being a new mom and trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was more than insane. She was able to deal with my being bad at preplanning and need to change things up with little notice. I cannot express how appreciative I am of that! She’s very sweet and amazingly talented. My family was treated like people instead of clients and it made everything go so smoothly. Without her advice I would have been lost when it went to planning out the pictures. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!! Her prices are fair and she’s just an amazing person. Thank you for everything Giuliana! :)

I am a Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, and Richmond Wedding and portrait photographer. I love bringing joy by serving others. I found that through this gift of photography, it’s a way to express the love I have for people and it’s truly an honor to capture those moments that are once in a lifetime. To me, photography is more than taking photos, it's being a supportive friend throughout your day. It’s a privilege to have your trust and it's not something I take lightly. When delivering your gallery, there's no words to describe how I feel knowing this is a piece of history for you and your loved ones

From the first consultation phone call, Nancy was clearly organized, prepared, and invested in capturing the special moments of our wedding. She asked all the right questions to make sure nothing was left out of the shot list that was important or unique to us. She was on schedule and efficient in getting all the family photos we wanted, even requiring us to pick someone to be our "family member wrangler" to make sure everyone was there for the pictures and no time was wasted in getting back to the celebration. But even more than her capabilities in capturing stunning photos, she was so warm and lovely to work with. You could feel how much she cared about capturing our day, and made us feel so comfortable and special. I highly recommend booking Luna Photography for your wedding!

Having your memories documented is truly one of the most important things. When we look back on our lives we are the sum of our experiences and being able to share that journey with your present and future family is such a gift.

I found Vicki on Instagram quite a while ago. I can’t recall how I stumbled across her page… but man am I so glad I did. As soon as I saw her work I knew she had to be my photographer. I didn’t care the distance or cost - her photos were that stunning and that different - I absolutely needed her. We had a virtual meet and greet and we just clicked from the start. She got my vibe. And I’d like to think we fit her vibe! Little fact not many people know, we picked our wedding date based on Vicki’s availability! We quickly booked her and scheduled our engagement shoot. She traveled all the way from Lebanon PA to asbury park NJ for this shoot! We had such a fun time with Vicki, she made us comfortable and let us act like ourselves. The photos we got back were gorgeous yet moody - just what I was looking for. She nailed. Fast forward to the wedding, her and her assistant were phenomenal. I trusted vicki so much based on what I’ve seen her do, that I gave her absolutely no direction. She took the wheel and did her thing. She even went out of her way and captured moments of our children that were just so incredible. Literally the cutest thing you will ever see. Everything she did, everything she took were beyond my expectations. The look and feel of my photos is so unique, no other photographer can successfully do what she does. I wish Vicki lived closer so we can use her for all our little milestones! We may have to travel to her for something in the future! Vicki was everything and gave us something unique to look at to always remember our day. Photos are your memories, theyre something you will have forever. You want a master of their craft to be there on your big day. Vicki was that. Snatch her up quick. You won’t regret it! Thank you vicki!

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.

Best photographer ever!!! Nicole was nothing short of AMAZING! She captured every moment and more. When you look at her photos is like you are re-living that moment. 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!!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!

I am thrilled that you have found your way here. Working in a creative field like photography, I have such an appreciation for movement and connection and meaningful, timeless images. It’s been my goal since becoming a full-time wedding photographer to deliver to my clients enduring images that can be appreciated by their children and grandchildren. Photography is about capturing that perfect moment but it is also about providing a positive portrait experience for my clients so that they not only remember the images but they remember how much fun they had making the memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were fortunate enough to find Joanna for our engagement photos and wedding photos. And we have continued to use her since then for family photos. One thing I love about her is she doesn’t have a travel fee. Our wedding was in Lexington, VA. She is also great with kids and goes with the flow. She’s got such a calm personality that puts you at ease and taking photos with her felt effortless. She also worked around our videographer seamlessly. Most importantly of course, our pictures are stunning!!

My name is Giovanna (you can call me Gio!) and I'm a traveling wedding photographer based in North Carolina. I've photographed everywhere from the DMV, NYC, Colorado, Hawaii, Spain to tons of other locations. Having a background in photojournalism, I photograph with a documentary approach which allows an organic and authentic feel to shine through my images. If you value emotion, connection, and creative storytelling, then I'm your girl. I was born in the bustling city of NY and later moved to a horse farm in NC. I was constantly amazed by my ever changing environments and inspired to capture moments that would otherwise be lost in memory.

Gio is INSANELY talented. I’ve worked with her for several life events, the biggest and most important investment being our wedding. Gio is professional and organized, a dream for any bride to work with. She has a gift for making you comfortable in front of the camera and provides expert guidance that makes shooting with her feel effortless. Her passion for her craft is palpable, and you know it’s good when she turns the camera around and says “YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!” Every album I’ve received is a breathtakingly beautiful, cinematic keepsake of the most special moments. Her work is literal ART. I’ll never forget the emotional experience of receiving our wedding album - we literally laughed and cried for hours. Every detail and moment is so intentionally and artfully captured. It’s been two years and I still swoon over our wedding photos. I’ve had several (also obsessed) friends inquire about our wedding photography and even book their weddings with Gio. She is easily one of the best investments I made for my wedding day and I can’t say enough positive things. As a repeat client, I so look forward to working with her again in the future. No question - book with Gio!

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 11 years, but I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil – and I’ve been in love with stories just as long. Of all the ways to create a life around storytelling and art, I’m so glad to have found this one: weddings are filled with stories both intimate and profound, and with elements of beauty that delight the artist in me. I love the challenge of seeking, finding and capturing the beauty I see, and telling your story as I see it unfolding before me.

The first thing people mention about our wedding is how beautiful the pictures turned out. I was specifically looking for a candid-style photographer whose exposure remained consistent & correct throughout the night, and Ayesha delivered more than I could have hoped for. She was polite, professional, and so fast! Not only was her turnaround time short, but she practically managed to be in two places at once to capture every perfect shot. We are so grateful that we got the chance to work with her, and look forward to hiring her again for our next special occasion.

We cannot say enough great things about Angelica and her team! We are one of those awkward people that don't take many photos, but thanks to our engagement session and our wedding photos, along with Angelica's coaching, we looked great in our photos and always had a blast in our photo shoots! Our wedding and engagement photos are amazing. When we think we were feeling awkward, our photos just show us in-love and having fun. There are many romantic photos that cater to my personality, and my husband loves the editorial look of many shots. Angelica is worth saving up and booking. We are glad our friend recommended her.
