Portsmouth, VA
  • Photographer

  • 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!

From the very first interaction, their communication was timely, clear and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was simply wonderful - they took a vision I didn't even know I had and made it a reality, transforming me into my most beautiful self.

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!

Booking Cat and her team as our wedding photographers was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made by far. I chose Cat because I loved her photography and editing style, but as we began to work with her, we also loved how organized, fun to be around, and instrumental in planning our wedding she was. Cat helped us build our timeline and even took it upon herself to reach out to our venue, hair, and makeup vendors to build our wedding day photography timeline. My husband and I feel so lucky that we were able to experience working with Cat, Danielle, and Ashley, so we definitely know how amazing and awesome the whole team is. Our engagement shoot with Cat was so much fun and she made us feel so comfortable in front of her camera. For our wedding, we were so lucky to have Danielle as our lead photographer and Ashley there assisting. Danielle and Ashley are so much fun, were a joy to be around, made everyone laugh, and made us all feel so comfortable. The two of them are seriously a dynamic duo! At the reception, every time I looked up, Danielle was right in my eyeline seeing if my husband or I needed anything. She definitely never missed a moment, and was always there somewhere capturing everything. What I love about their photography is how much it looks like us. We have so many photos of my husband and I just laughing together, being ourselves, and enjoying the day with our people. You can truly feel the happiness through the photos and that’s something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We literally ordered a digital picture frame because how are we supposed to choose only a few photos from our day to have in our home?? It was truly such a joy to work with Cat, Danielle, and Ashley. They remain one of the best choices we made for our wedding and I’ll be forever grateful for them.

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Evan brought a perfect mix of warmth, professionalism, and humor that made our ceremony so personal and memorable.

We offer so many different options to personalize your wedding and make the experience unique for you and your guests. We have lighting, special effects, and even licensed pyrotechnicians on our team that can provide professional fireworks displays (both day and night) to show off your style with impact!

Awarded Best of Zola
Oh where to begin?! I met Brandon and Kellie during the April 2024 Richmond Bridal Expo. I was just going around signing up for all the give aways and drawings while collecting information. The day after the show, I received an email from DJ Signature saying I won their 2nd place prize and to schedule a meeting. My Fiancé and I set up a meeting via zoom and let the fun begin! We both instantly felt a connection with Brandon and he 100% understood the vibe we were going for. He took the time to go through all the packages and customized our perfect plan. I didn’t need some of the things the package offered so I opted to add in Signature Details (welcome to the party Kellie!) and have access to a wedding coordinator. Kellie joined our zoom call and it was like 4 friends just catching up and having a good time. Once we were done with the zoom, they emailed over everything we discussed along with a contract. We were signed, sealed, delivered within an hour of ending our call. Brandon is very proactive in asking for lists of music you do and don’t want during your ceremony. He also helped me when I was struggling to add certain genres I knew I didn’t want during the reception, and we created a dinner playlist with those songs so everyone was included. The day of the wedding Brandon and his assistants showed up ready to get to work. When I say everything was PERFECT I mean it! The music flowed beautifully and there was no awkward pauses in transitions. It was a special moment for my husband and I too, after pictures we got the chance to talk with Brandon. You could feel the love and support with everything he said and it was an honor to have him with us. Part of the package we did was a cold spark exit. I wasn’t sold on it when we originally talked about it but as we went on I was like ok it’ll be cool. My advice, DO THE COLD SPARKS!!!!!! I’m so glad they convinced me because it was honestly my favorite part of the night. Brandon had to leave after this part of our evening as he had another wedding to do fireworks at and his assistant took over. And that’s when the party started! I wanted it to feel like an early 2000’s-2010’s club vibe full of dancing and fun. They NAILED the mark on it too! Everyone had an absolute blast and I legit felt it for the next few days. If you’re looking for the best DJ in VA, you’re in the best hands with DJ Signature! Thank you for being a part of our day Brandon!!

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.

Where do we even begin? Choosing Dakotah as our photographer was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From our very first engagement shoot in the spring, she absolutely wowed us. She made us look and feel incredible — we’ve never felt more gorgeous or more like ourselves. We still look at those photos every single day and can’t get over how stunning they are. When the wedding day came (complete with rain and all!), Dakotah, Jim, and Anderson rolled with every twist and turn with total grace and humor. They made the entire day feel effortless. Dakotah and Jim are warm, funny, and make everyone around them feel comfortable and confident — including all of our guests. 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.

Jenna is basically a wizard in the wedding planner world. She helped plan our wedding that was one day after another on the same weekend, and was still able to absolutely crush it! During a time where there's typically a lot of stress, Jenna is able to put you at ease with her ability to remain calm under pressure, organized when there are a million things to keep track of, and most importantly, kind to everyone she works with. I don't think she has a mean bone in her body, and having someone like that who also values your event as much as you do meant the world to us. My friends and family all raved about how amazing the wedding turned out, but we truly could not have done it without Jenna! Thanks for keeping our heads attached to our bodies the past year and giving us the event of a lifetime. xoxo - Alex & Josh

Pick a Bloom was founded on love and laughter in small-town Surry, Virginia by us, a mother daughter duo, who wanted to see our vision of fresh flower alternatives bloom to life. We work primarily with 100% REAL preserved and dried flowers and foliage.

Pick A Bloom was the perfect florist for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was fast and responsive, which put us at ease during the planning process. The floral arrangements they created were absolutely beautiful and high quality, perfectly matching the vision we had for our special day. We were thrilled with the exceptional service and value that Pick A Bloom provided, and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional florist.

From the first introduction phone call to hugging her goodbye at the end of our wonderful wedding day, Makayla was Amazing. She heard my wishes and concerns about our wedding photos and helped me see her vision. And even got me in a rowboat! (Forever Grateful!) And the final results are breathtaking and I can’t choose a single photo I love more than others. They’re all above and beyond my expectations. I also want to say…Makayla kept me calm prior to the ceremony in ways she probably doesn’t even know she helped me. She exudes kindness and anyone near her feels it. You will not be anything but blown away when you hire Mak’s Captured Moments. I will be forever grateful we connected on Zola. I started with a wedding photographer and ended with a friend.
