We picked some unique songs for our processional that typically have heavy orchestration involved but Bryan was able to arrange them to sound beautiful on just guitar. The bossa nova they played for our cocktail hour was also incredible, everyone loved it! Such great style and energy all around, we couldn’t have asked for better live music on our special day.

Nathan Sottung Photography, LLC. 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Poolesville, MD

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. I've collaborated with world-class photographers, remarkable clients, and exceptional vendors. What sets me apart is my personal connection with clients, making them feel comfortable. My storytelling approach captures genuine emotions and unique moments. With extensive experience, particularly in weddings, I bring technical expertise and artistic vision to every shoot. When you hire me, you're gaining a dedicated storyteller committed to high-quality, timeless photos.

I would give 10 stars if that were possible! Nathan is incredible! From when we first reached out to even now, a month after our wedding. He is so friendly and warm, it is easy to feel comfortable around him. Feeling comfortable is so important since most of us aren't used to people taking so many pictures of us. He was helpful in picking a place to do our engagement photos and was great about getting us to pose or do goofy things that resulted in the most beautiful photos that I could truly feel how we felt in the moment when looking at the photos. On the day of our wedding, he was even more amazing, we were an hour behind schedule (my fault) and he kept his cool which in turn helped me to also remain calm. He was great at pivoting at a moment's notice when I changed the location of first look photos in order to save time. He was great at offering ways we could still get those photos in that location if we wanted to take the time to do it. He went above and beyond getting candid shots I asked for. The amazing thing is that my photos from my wedding truly feel like a portal back into the day, I look at the pictures and all the emotions of joy and love come flooding back. He is a true artist. The best part was we got a bunch of preview photos the day after our wedding!! Unheard of! And then he had the full gallery of photos only 3 weeks later, also unheard of! He does a great job capturing and editing photos. He also time and time again went above and beyond like an additional engagement session when we missed some shots we had wanted to get or an additional session in our wedding attire to capture additional portraits. He also asked if there were photos that we thought were missing from the gallery and went back through the thousands of photos to find ones we were asking about. I cannot recommend Nathan enough, our day would not have been the same without him, and it never would have been captured in such a perfect way.

I worked with Intan Sahrini for hair and makeup and she did a wonderful job on both! I’d never had my hair done before because I didn’t trust that hair stylists would know what to do with my curly hair. Intan did a glamorous updo using my natural curl and helped me achieve the vague vision I had using inspiration photos. I also wear minimal makeup in daily life but Intan was able to make me look like an elevated version of myself on my wedding day. She mixed a special lip color and placed individual lashes all to make sure my vision was achieved! Highly recommend.

She made both my husband and I feel at ease, comfortable in front of the camera, and stress free on our big day. The photographs came out beautifully and on time. I would highly recommend Sarandon for your next wedding. :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

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

I had the great pleasure of working with Nancy when one of my couples hired her (I own a venue and provide planning/coordination services). She was extremely professional, while still be fun. She put the couple at ease which produced stellar photos. They had fun and laughed which made all the photos to look natural rather than staged. I work with photographers all over the state and beyond and I can truly say Nancy is a joy to work with and her images are stunning!

This is a way too late review for a spectacular wedding planner and event designer who brought to life the wedding of my dreams in June 2022! Lauren and her team truly provide a 5-star experience in every way and more. Before I met Lauren, I had a vision for my wedding, but really wasn't sure how to bring it to fruition. I was walking through the "steps" recommended in different timeline sheets, which in itself is very tiring, and starting very big picture. But as anyone who has planned a wedding knows, the details start to become very, very overwhelming - especially when there's a specific look and feel you want for your wedding. Where do you invest your time and money? That's where Lauren was a lifesaver. Some key moments in our work together included: aligning us via several conversations and an inspiration deck (really important for making sure you're on the same page), meeting me at a rental facility to walk through design elements together, coordinating with family members to make sure she got a comprehensive picture of what really mattered to me (bless my partner, he couldn't care less), and "secretly" working with family members to make the vision "bigger and better" and surprise me. Lauren also has an IMPECCABLE eye for how to bring all the million details together. She hand-selected and/or advised on every detail, from utensil colors to linens to stamp types to wax seals - all the tiny details that create a full "experience" for you and your guests, but by the end, you don't have energy to pick yourself! Moreover, Lauren is incredibly professional, warm, direct, patient, and supportive - all traits you need in a planner and designer. She will also tell you what she thinks, which is essential, particularly in the home stretch! By the end, Lauren was responsible for creating the wedding of my dreams. I can truly say it was the most magical weekend of my life, and while all weddings are so special when you have the people you love, it doesn't quite feel *spectacular* without all those details coming together. I am happy to share photos of my event with anyone who asks, or simply look at Lauren's instagram for her incredible work. Thank you, Lauren - we were so lucky to find you!!! 3

Sam Hill Entertainment is based out of Charlottesville, VA with bands located throughout the Southeast. Over the last 25 years, Sam Hill has helped tens of thousands of brides and grooms book the best in live music across the 50 states and for fly-in international weddings! Our bands cover Top 40 hits, fiery versions of Soul, smooth versions of Motown, elegant jazz classics, toe-tapping bluegrass, and country - it all exists among the performers we work with!

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

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.

Quanisha always loved makeup, and as a child, to hone her skills her mother would allow her to practice on her during her evening naps. However, after graduating from makeup school with a makeup artistry certificate, she was disappointed to see makeup looks created without the personalization of the client's character and personal style. So, in 2018, attended Gwynnis Mosby Makeup Training center located in Tucker, GA soon after, Quanisha began her makeup artistry freelancing business called Quanisha Moody Makeup Artistry.

Quanisha was professional, timely, and did amazing work! She was a great addition to the bridal suite and getting ready space on my wedding day. I would highly recommend her to future brides! She did an excellent and thorough questionnaire prior to my day and was very prepared! Thank you so much for making me feel beautiful and still myself on my big day! She also did a beautiful job with my bridesmaids and mom!

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.

Your day, your memories, your captivating legacy, captured for years to come. I help regular brides create iconic moments so they can celebrate their love for years to come. It’s your day and your memories. Let’s celebrate with captivating photography.

I’ll preface by saying i had been married previously and photographer for my first wedding was “okay.” Krystina is the complete opposite! We hired her for both our engagement and wedding day photos. Krystina is absolutely incredible when it comes to photography and design choices. She brings such unique creativity to her work, which was fantastic for a couple who struggles in that department. She is very responsive, professional, and just so sweet and kind. Both of our families continue to rave about how she handled everything, kept us in schedule and made it look easy. She also managed to help keep my emotions and stress level at bay despite my anxiety on my wedding day. Not only are our photos absolutely stunning but her creative works like photo albums, prints and other little gift ideas are just simply incredible. We have absolutely no regrets hiring Kristina and 100% recommend her services.
