Harvest Moon Photography 

5.0

Portsmouth, VA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an introvert and more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

Awarded Best of Zola
Harvest Moon Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Camille was fast to respond, accommodating to our needs, and always maintained a positive and excited energy. Her communication style was just what we were looking for - she made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. The quality of her work is truly flawless, with a beautiful, candid, and dreamy aesthetic that captured all the little moments we wanted to remember. Camille made sure I got everything I wanted and more out of my photos. The photo I cherish most to this day isn’t even of my husband and I. My grandfather recently passed away and the photo I cherish most is of him and my littlest sister, dancing together alone on the dance floor. It is a photo I hold dear to me and will cherish always. Camille is an incredibly talented and accommodating photographer, and we are so grateful to have had her be a part of our special day. We have already decided she is the only photographer we want to work with going forward to capture all of the special moments in our lives.

DeLine Photography

Portsmouth, VA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

My excited, caring and spunky with a side of ‘hell yeah’ personality makes people feel comfortable, protected and loved. I meet people, hug them within seconds and it’s not awkward. Also, catch me slingin' jokes and dancing while I work or just on a Tuesday. I started my business three years ago, since then I've captured 102 weddings and over 200 couples, I can't image doing anything else! I’m married to Alex, love of my life, cat-doggy daddy, and muse. We fell in love after I called him a loser the moment we met. Since then we've lived in Hawaii, traveled the world and added two fur babies!

The ladies at this company are simply amazing!! My now husband I are not photogenic people and are typically not comfortable being in front of the camera, but Danielle and Ashley made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun doing it! We have many branches to our family and the photos ran seamlessly and were quicker than I expected! I am obsessed with the preview photos we have gotten so far and can’t wait to see the full album!

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

Lauren Ashlie Imagery provided amazing photography for our wedding day. Her communication was efficient, clear, and prompt throughout the entire process making it so easy to work with her. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are so natural and detailed, capturing all the special moments beautifully.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose DJ Karizma for our February wedding in Va Beach this year and first things first, his organization, communication and responsiveness were top tier. He had ceremony and reception worksheets, and song suggestions for us to review and complete which made it very easy to communicate all of our music preferences. He responded within a day or two to any questions that we had via email and text. We had a lot of expectations for our DJ such as the specific songs we chose for the ceremony, the grand entrances, reception and dance floor. We asked him to also add in some reggae vibes and all of his selections were a perfect fit for our guests. We needed his MC assistance with announcements for the audio guestbook and QR codes for the seating chart and disposable camera photo capture. He covered these announcements during cocktail hour as expected. He made sure all those that were giving a toast/speech were prepped and ready for their turn. He announced all of big moments such as the cake cutting, family dances, bouquet toss, garter toss..etc. He hosted our Photo Table Dash game and co-hosted our mini Newlywed game and his energy and enthusiasm were just what our celebration needed! We were impressed with him staying on top of everything we asked for. Our only disappointment was due to where the venue had the DJ set up (behind a curtain which obstructed his view) so our grand entrance music was cut short unexpectedly. We wish we would have communicated our expectation better with the venue as they were our day of coordinators and were supposed to be the DJ's "eyes." However, we would choose DJ Karizma again without hesitation for future events. Thank you so much DJ Karizma for making our wedding fun, hype and such a delight!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the most complimented parts of our entire wedding day was our ceremony, and that’s all thanks to our incredible officiant, Evan. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a ceremony that felt meaningful and personal, and Evan delivered that and so much more. He met with us ahead of time, walked us through everything, and really took the time to understand our story. When the big day came, he absolutely nailed it. He shared our love story in such a heartfelt and light-hearted way, beautifully weaving in some of my favorite scripture. There was laughter, happy tears, and so much joy…he truly set the tone for the rest of the day, and helped calm my nerves more than he probably realized. To top it all off, Evan is a true jack of all trades, his company also offers bartending services! Right after the ceremony, he jumped behind the bar and kept the good vibes going. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed chatting with him and how great the service was. If you're looking for someone who can do it all,and do it with heart….Evan is your guy.

It doesn’t get any better than Signature DJs. We booked Signature DJs for ceremony/reception music, Photo Booth, and uplighting. Brandon and Kellie were more than helpful during the wedding planning process. Signature DJs periodically sent me emails to remind me of anticipated steps to keep me on track. I had already booked my Day-Of Coordinators, but had I not I definitely would have booked Kellie! On the day of our wedding, Signature DJs arrived early and easily set up. Meredith with the photo booth was amazing! Our guests loved the customized photobooth strips!

We absolutely loved working with Bryauna and Jamar at Moments for Life Visuals. From booking our initial consultation to giving updates on wedding timelines to following up post wedding, they were responsive and easy to get in touch with. Jamar showed up right on time on our wedding day and we felt really comfortable with him around. He managed to capture the entire vibe of the day from the big moments to the little details. We were really on the fence about whether or not the cost of a videographer would be worth it since we already booked a photographer. Moments for Life had packages that fit with our budget and we’re so glad we booked them. Photos are great, but the videos we got are so full of life and are truly magical. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer - DO IT! We also really appreciated that Moments for Life gave us the raw footage of our ceremony, reception speeches, dancing, and cake cutting.

We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor.

Anderson was amazing as the second photographer, helping capture every detail and moment we might have missed. The way this team works together is seamless. Dakotah’s direction and creativity are unmatched, and Jim’s presence behind the camera adds so much calm and fun to the day. We could truly feel how much they care about their couples — they listen, they adapt, and they help with absolutely everything. What started as a vendor relationship has truly turned into a friendship. I’ve never been more excited to get photos or messages from someone because I know whatever Dakotah and Jim create is going to be magic. Every single time, they blow us away. If you’re debating whether to book them, don’t wait another second — invest in them. You will not regret it. They are simply the best, and we cannot recommend them enough.
