Awarded Best of Zola
Stephanie and her husband are so wonderful. They recently covered my wedding and I couldn’t be happier! The sneak peak we got the day after the wedding has great pictures, and their personalities made the day even better. Stephanie knows how to take charge to get everything done quickly and efficiently, but in a very pleasant and kind way. I would like to especially shout out her husband for the help he provided on the day. He was holding my water, extra shoes, flowers, etc while doing our posed photos which made everything so much easier and calm for me. But even more important in my opinion, he rushed (literally ran) to my mom’s aid when she fell onto concrete immediately before we walked down the aisle. Everyone else had already walked down the aisle to the ceremony, so there was no one around that we knew, and he jumped right in to take care of her. For that act alone I could never thank these two enough. This review is getting long, but all in all, I recommend them to anyone and everyone!

I truly do not know where to begin or the words that will encapsulate how wonderful Jesslyn was at our September 2022 wedding. She was kind, patient, understanding and always followed our lead. The pictures I have from our wedding are genuinely the best photos I have ever seen of not only my now husband and I, but of all our loved ones. I especially appreciated that she took the time to take beautiful candid photos of our friends and family at the ceremony and reception. Not one guest was missed. Her skills are above top-tier, her personality is so warm and her photos...there are no words. Book Jesslyn, there is no one else like her.

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

NO RULES. JUST FUN. Wedding days are awesome. There’s you, the rad couple who has decided to take the big leap. And there’s the cake, the vows, the friends and family, the toasts and all the love. (Did I mention cake?) Even though weddings can be awesome, they can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With Awesomesauce Photography, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing. I want you to actually enjoy partying with your friends and eat the awesome meal you have meticulously chosen, not spend it taking portraits for hours. With me, there are no rules. Just fun.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Alex Hines Photography is for the modern-styled couple who takes priority in tangible memories; memories that are timeless and unforgettable. Couples who value human connection and legacy. A wedding day is captured in a journalistic or documentary approach with very little guidance. With elegance and class, I specialize in off-guard flattering photos capturing in-the-moment emotion.

Alex was incredible to work with, start to finish. She was prompt to respond when we initially reached out to her, and we quickly setup a zoom call. We fell in love with her pure passion for what she does, and we felt fully comfortable and confident in her ability and professionalism. Alex kept up with us throughout the year long engagement and sent us helpful information along the way. She was responsive to messages on honeybook and always calm and confident—which helped ease any bridal anxieties I had! Alex did phenomenal work the day of the wedding. She was prompt, professional, and had a great vibe for our special day. She helped us scope out some fun, artistic spots to take photos and she made the whole day very special. I cannot wait to see the final images but I have no doubt that they will be beyond breath-taking. Alex—I hope we have more special occasions in the future that require your talent and vision! Thank you for ALL you did for us. -Kayla and George

Richmond, VA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000

I'm Katie and I've been a wedding photographer for over ten years now. In that time I've been lucky to photograph nearly 200 weddings all over the East coast and the world! I love to approach each wedding day as though I were telling the story to someone who wasn't there...which to me means capturing a mixture of the little details you worked so hard to choose as well as those little in between moments that happen as the day unfolds. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can find me shopping at Trader Joe's, planning my next trip, or cuddling with my cat, Lucy!

I had the pleasure of working with Katie Nesbitt over the course of several years and have watched her talents evolve in the process. Katie's eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with. She deftly navigates complex family dynamics, moves swiftly through portrait sessions, and knows when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. She has a way of elevating our charming, little farm venue through her lens and makes it look sophisticated and refined! I was always impressed by the mix of candids, posed shots, and details she captured throughout the day. Beyond that, she is punctual, communicative, dependable, and complimented every single vendor team she has been paired with for our couples! In fact, I hired Katie as my own wedding photographer for my 2020 (now 2022) wedding because I was so impressed with her professionalism behind the scenes as well as her work. I've loved working with Katie in this capacity, especially during these complicated times, because every communication reminded me that she cared, listened, was flexible as we were forced to change our plans. The next steps were clearly outlined, so we were never left wondering what was going on. It made us feel that we were being guided by a true professional through a process she was a master at! I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.

Our photographer, Gary, was absolutely amazing! Not only was he great at capturing all of the special moments we wanted, he was beyond wonderful with my 91 year old grandma. He made sure that he didn't miss a thing and was able to input his own creative touch to many of the shots! All of our photos turned out beautifully. We had a minor hiccup (our videographer caught covid THREE days before our wedding) but Eivans was able to replace him (with the help of Gary and Sam) and our video turned out better than I could've imagined. The Sam, the manager, was incredible, understanding, and made sure that we were accommodated through the entire planning process as well as after. My husband and I couldn't be happier after getting back our photo gallery and wedding video.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Beyond more than just the value and punctuality and just the professionalism I have ever received. I overall feel like I've known him beyond our time working together. Cesario checked in on us even beyond wedding stuff, checking on our mind set our spirit and relationship with me and my bride to be. Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day! We loved getting to work with you to bring our dream to life. We appreciate your help in creating unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. I never knew how nervous I would be but Cesario made it seamless and effortless as he saw our vision and combine his own vision he saw for us and made it reality. He Spent the previous months staying in contact with me and my fiancé, insuring our photo ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner etc was too our liking. He took his time in details of each position and lighting, switching between cameras and accessories, also picking locations around the venue that represented our love, spirit and energy. Cesario was prompt on time and even ensured everything else besides his duty to us went well (family members looked great, coordinated with Coordinator, venue decor etc.) he was awesome. This was the best day I ever had and loved it because it was made with care and to our specs we wanted, this review doesn't give it its full justice on the quality of the the of the services he provided even the small details he went into helping our day. The special moment he had with me right after the ceremony were I could gather my emotions and he helped me gather myself and take it all in, that is something I can’t explain and I will always thank him for. I really saw how he cared and took his time in making sure it was perfect. We felt like we had a family member with us the entire day guiding us rather than a hired stranger witch made it feel natural and easy. The Photos came out UNBELIEVABLE, you see how he perfected each pictures, the lighting, how he captured moments we didn’t even know were happening. H captured the Cocktail hour photos, flowers, cake, bar and so much more. We are still looking through the photos and trying to figure out what to print out and frame, so many to choose from. Thank you again for your time and efforts and I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to hire Cesario Mendez!! Hurry book him now!!

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Ken Y could not have been a better choice as our lead photographer and we can't wait to work with him at our wedding in September. His communication, his candor, his creativity, his commitment -- it was all aligned with our vision and our biggest hopes. Honestly, it was way more fun and carefree than either of us imagined possible and that's the best feeling. We were both smiling hours later; he lit us up.

Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We were fortunate enough to have Randell as our wedding photographer and videographer as I just stumbled to find him in a local wedding facebook group and without a doubt, he is THE BEST! From the moment we met him, it was evident that his professionalism and passion for his craft set him apart. His efficiency on the big day was truly remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring he captured every significant moment without being intrusive. His ability to organize group shots and direct us for those perfect candid moments showcased his experience and expertise. Now, let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of spectacular! The only "problem" Randell presented us with was making every single photo look so incredible that it's nearly impossible to choose our favorites! As an artist myself, to me each image is a work of art, reflecting his keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of lighting and composition. Randell not only delivered on capturing the essence of our wedding day but exceeded our expectations. His creativity and skill turned ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and the timeless images he has given us to cherish for a lifetime. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, look no further than Randell. He's not just a photographer; he's an artist who turns your special day into a visual masterpiece. Thank you, Randell, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property.

We are a passionate and creative husband and wife photography team who have a serious soft spot for documenting love stories. The big and little moments in life matter and we believe that everyone deserves to have photos that remind them of all the joy, tears, laughter, and adventure that surrounded them on the most momentous days in their life.

Awarded Best of Zola
"When you look back at these photos years from now, what do you want to feel?" was the question that Lindsay asked my then-fiancée and me when we first met to talk about wedding photography. We said that we wanted to be transported back to that moment, and remember what it felt like being there on that day. Looking at the photos now, this is EXACTLY what Lindsay and her husband/co-photographer Greg delivered. Lindsay's photos go so far beyond just documenting what happened - they capture the joy, the emotion, the tears, the excitement. Using some kind of camera magic, she captures the cozy mood lighting of our venue exactly as it felt, the sparkle of the lights and the dark wood of the bar, no overexposed flashes or dimness at all. Our formal photos are serene and gorgeous, our dancing photos are chaotic and full of light and energy. I don't know how she caught it all, because I hardly remember seeing her on the day, but she managed to capture even the little accidental unscripted moments that might have otherwise been lost to time. The dash from the car to the venue, through the rain umbrella in hand, is now one of my favorite memories AND favorite photos, all thanks to Lindsay. On top of all that, Lindsay and Greg are just lovely people. They immediately made us feel comfortable, and quickly got us past the inherent goofiness of posing for photos. They were responsive, communicative, so easy to work with, and made sure they understood our vision for the day so they could take photos that captured it. We absolutely could not be happier with our wedding photos and wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay King Photography.

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

I've known Beth with 3 Cats Photo for years and it was an honor to have her photograph our wedding. She made my wife and I's pinterest board dreams come to life in addition to taking pictures of all the tiny details we didn't even know we wanted until they existed. Beth is organized, kind, and so knowledgeable in addition to having a beautiful eye for the perfect moments and compositions to make every photo a work of art I want to frame on our wall. (Seriously, I've printed so many of our wedding pictures my wife jokes that I have constructed a shrine to our marriage - and she's not wrong, they're just so cute!).

We hired Amy for our wedding photos after seeing her art style and knew it would be a perfect fit for our venue! We got married inside of a cavern, and it was so important to us that our photographer was comfortable with that lighting situation.

When we met, her energy was so calming and inclusive and she made us and our family/friends feel completely at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. And when I saw our photos, my jaw dropped. I could not believe she captured such incredible detail of our whole day. The pictures do all of the talking, we are forever grateful to have them.

Our goal with each new wedding, is not to be just good or “good enough”--the goal is to be world-class, one of the top wedding photography teams in the world. Each couple helps us accomplish this.

Working with J. Roman was a dream! We won an engagement shoot with J and quickly knew we wanted him as our wedding photographer after an engagement shoot that was so fun! He delivered hundreds of photos that we loved. His range is amazing; from moody and dark, to vintage and chic, to glam and bright, all the versions of photography you crave for your big day, J covers! We were open to J's eye when it came to moments and he worked seamlessly on our big day--him or his team never felt intrusive to a special moment. The raw emotion of the wedding day was captured so beautifully-we get to relive such a momentous day over and over through his art. He was incredibly professional, was very easy to work with and was so helpful in planning. J has delivered amazing results: 2500 photos for our wedding, which we received in exactly 3 weeks. We received the first short video within 4 weeks of the wedding as well for his photography and videography package. So grateful that we booked with J Roman and would recommend his over and over again!

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever.

I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

McKenna exceeded all of our expectations as a wedding photographer! She was so easy to communicate with. She made us feel super comfortable getting our pictures taken, and got so many amazing shots! She is super talented and got so many unique photos of us that we will cherish forever. We had people rave about her at our wedding saying how well she did working with everyone and how she added such positive energy to our day.

On the wedding day, she provided the perfect amount of direction. Her warm personality and professional demeanor made everything feel effortless. Stephanie didn’t just take photos; she told a story. Her ability to document the love and connection between us, our family, and our friends was remarkable.

Jade is an amazing photographer! I have done three bookings with her now and she’s gotten better every time! She made our wedding day absolutely fabulous.

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

My business was in need of professional headshots and Sara did an amazing job! Her pricing is fair, she communicates in a timely manner, and she has a nice studio perfect for the photos I wanted. Not only did she take individual headshots, but she also took group shots of my team. Despite some of my employees being camera shy, Sara knew just how to get them out of their shell and direct them into taking the photos. I am very impressed by how Sara conducts her business and recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

Awarded Best of Zola
Do yourself a big favor and just go ahead and hire Whitt Photography. Hannah is so amazing to work with, she listened to all my ideas then melded her own expertise with my vision. Hannah was excellent with communication, she always answered my questions in a timely manner (and I had a lot of questions). The day-of had its own hitches but they were just about the only thing I didn't have to worry about. They were on time, professional but still warm and comforting on a very stressful day. I cannot say enough good things about them. And of course the photos are gorgeous.

Meet Alex, a visual storyteller who brings your vision to life. Beyond the camera, I am an architect of moments, crafting images that transcend mere visuals. Imagine your session as a time capsule, not just freezing moments but encapsulating the very essence of your experiences—the laughter, the shared glances, and the whispers that echo in your memories. I aspire to create a visual odyssey where each image you relive not only the scenes but emotions, thoughts, and ambiance of your session.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were able to communicate throughout the wedding day fairly seamlessly. I was able to work with her on getting the bride and groom a moment alone before moving on to the next event on the day. She was super nice and professional and was able to work with me on timeframe if something needed to change or we needed to move something in the timeline around. It was such a pleasure to work with her and I look forward to crossing paths again in the future should the opportunity arise.

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

Brandon exceeded our expectations for photographing our wedding day! He seemed to know exactly what we wanted. The pictured he captured of us at sunset were some of our favorites - the colors were gorgeous. He is so much fun to be around, he's easy to work with, and took lots of stress away from the wedding day. Thanks to him we have plenty of beautiful memories from our favorite day!
