Bethany Aubre Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Rappahannock Academy, VA

It is so nice to have you here! I am a Charlottesville Washington DC and Virginia Wedding Photographer who creates artful film-inspired imagery with a combination of timeless editorial and hybrid candid photography that recreates tangible memories of what matters most: you and your authentic love story. With a passion for wanderlust and most importantly my family, I know that life's most cherished moments are fleeting. It's an honor to create emotional love-story centered heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.

If you want a lively band that knows how to have fun, look no further than Cake Fight. We'll put on an energetic show that will have all your guests on their feet and dancing in no time. We play a little modern pop, a little classic rock, and a little of everything in between. A typical set could include everything from Dua Lipa, to Devo, to the Doors. So, everyone from your teenage niece to her grandfather will be singing along to their favorite songs. **DISCLAIMER: No actual cakes will be harmed in the course of your event. Unless it's a wedding. Or a birthday. Or any event where the guests will eat cake.**

Awarded Best of Zola
Hello, We LOVE working with Cake Fight. Anytime we hire them, our guests compliment the music and leave us positive reviews. More importantly, they pack the house. What is normally a somewhat tranquil, quiet winery quickly becomes a joyful dancing hall full of intoxicating energy. Small children to retirement aged guests ditch their tastings to cut a rug and sing along. Our staff dances their way through their shifts with a smile. We highly recommend locking these folks in for your wedding or private event.

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

We had a small and simple wedding but wanted some good pictures. William was very professional, and the pictures are amazing! They absolutely capture the day just as we remember it. The online gallery is very easy to use and William delivered us the pictures very quickly.

  • Serves Rappahannock Academy, VA

Willow Creek Event Planning is a fast growing, women-owned business that specializes in Event Planning, Coordination, and Luxury Rentals. With our background in corporate planning, our initial introduction into the wedding industry was a match made in heaven. Since then we have been partnering with couples all over the DMV (and beyond) to ensure seamless, memorable events.

We were so so happy with the service Willow Creek Event Planning provided. We opted for the day-of coordination and it really helped take a load off of my husband and I. I strongly recommend you at least get a day-of coordinator for your wedding, especially these ladies. They had fast response times leading up to the wedding, they helped bring things to my attention that I didn’t know needed to be planned, and they were there for everything on the wedding day. Even rushing to get a bandaid for my clumsy self! 10/10

Hi there! So glad you're here! A little about me, ... let's see, I'm 38. Married to the love of my life. We have 3 beautiful children! (ages 18, 17, and 8) ,and I can't forget our fur-baby, Emma. She's a shih-tzu, and our little "fluffy butt" - I am obsessed with Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino's, going antiquing any chance I get, decorating our home, and after 20 years, I have FINALLY found a wine I like, after tasting everything! so I like to say I'm now a wine enthusiast haha! Mexican & Italian are my fav food! Love a good Netflix binge! & I live for 2 hour bubble baths!! Once I'm in, you can't get me out! :)

Such AMAZING pictures - from our engagement photos to the big day, April was perfect. She is so sweet, accommodating, and easy to work with. She drove all the way from Franklin to our home on a weeknight last minute to do our engagement photos! And then she captured all the best moments from our wedding day - I literally can’t decide which ones are my favorite because she did such a great job. HIGHLY recommend!!! One of our favorite people to work with throughout the whole wedding process. I hope she will work with us again in the future!

PAPERBOYS 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,995
  • Serves Rappahannock Academy, VA

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Hiring Nate with the Paperboys team might have been the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I are (very picky) creatives by nature and trade so we knew that we wanted to be very intentional about our choice of photographer for our special day. Our venue was a historic hotel that requires you to work with one of their select partners, something we initially were a little hesitant about due to its inherent limitations. Most partners listed had very technically beautiful photos but nothing that excited us creatively. Until we saw their most recent partner addition: Paperboys. We loved the playfulness, talent, and imagination that was deeply valued with the team and quickly connected with our photographer Nate both creatively and socially. It was apparent that he truly loved his craft and was easy to communicate our vision with, always making sure to ask helpful questions and take the time to study our provided resource materials. Without prompting or extra charge, he also opted to bring his own film camera to snap some artsy film shots on the actual day, an above and beyond move that shows how much he genuinely just loves what he does. The finished photos absolutely exceeded expectations. His signature style we loved shone through while also managing to capture the exact essence of what we were hoping for stylistically. And as someone who specifically struggles with body confidence and anxiety, he was able to make me feel safe by providing a calm presence and plenty of posing guidance. This allowed me to truly just exist and enjoy the day, which is something I genuinely wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to manage, and therefore the most wonderful gift in and of itself. TLDR: Just hire Paperboys already and thank me later! You’re welcome.

Hello, and Welcome My personal philosophy is: ​ "When you commit yourself to do something, do it from the heart." Photographing you is not only a hobby, but a timeless commitment and passion to capture authenticity in the memories we are about to create.​I love seeing the beauty and emotions in people. I am not here to treat you as my client, but as a friend who I can make a connection with, and who is letting me capture those perfectly imperfect moments you wish to see. Let's chat more!

When you start wedding planning, it is so overwhelming to decide on vendors when there are so many available. But we are so happy we chose Amanda to be our wedding photographer! My husband and I had never had professional photos done, and when we had our engagement photo session, Amanda helped us become more comfortable and photographed us naturally, while also giving us suggestions for poses and actions so she could get some great shots. We saw our engagement photos and they were so beautiful, we were so excited to have her photograph our wedding! Throughout the process, Amanda was always fast to respond and answered any questions we had. She even guided us on our wedding timeline and was so helpful since she has photographed so many weddings. On the day of our wedding - she fit in with all our friends and family for the vibe of our wedding - fun, relaxed, and loving! We appreciated that she listened to everything we wanted for our wedding photos, but also made suggestions for things that she knew she could photograph amazingly! Now looking at our photographs, we are blown away by how beautiful they are and how she captured the day and us as a couple. Thank you so much to Amanda for capturing our best day ever!

Like some it started with a little camera originally to capture our children as they went on field trips, vacations, and other documentations of life. I quickly began venturing into photographing other families and children. A very good friend of mine invited me to shoot her wedding. This was something I haven't quite thought about doing but was super excited for the Opportunity since I was exploring my different options at the time. When I tell you I fell in love! I really did! I mean that would be such an understatement!! I knew at that point that becoming a Wedding Photographer was what I'd be.

Our wedding photos were so beautiful and we are so thankful to have them to cherish for the rest of our lives. The day was so easy going and every perfect moment was captured. A huge thank you to Elle Rose Artistry for helping make our special day the most it could be.

Wild Elegance 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rappahannock Academy, VA

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

A former newspaper photographer & editor, I truly love to capture authentic moments as they happen - commonly known as lifestyle photography. My favorite photos are storytelling moments filled with happiness & love. I'm also a sucker for gorgeous light, sunsets, trees, and ALL naturally beautiful outdoor settings. I'm a bit of a romantic and LOVE catching those in between funny moments when no one thinks I'm watching.

Hey! I'm Valerie. I spend most of my weekends as a creative Virginia wedding photographer, but I also shoot a ton of documentary lifestyle portraits and spend the weekdays photographing small-business marketing content for clients throughout Virginia and DC.

I always want people to feel like they know you when they see an image. Forget the stereotypes of what it's supposed to be. Let's just make real images with real smiles in real situations in real places that matter.

Hi - I'm Danielle. A wife. A mom to three wonderful children. A wedding photographer. I've been shooting weddings since 2010. 300++ weddings and counting. I love working with natural light, real moments, and images with energy and emotion. I would love the privilege of hearing your love story. If you'd like to inquire, please email or call to set up an interview.!

We booked Danielle for our engagement session and April 2024 wedding. Me and my husband aren't confident in front of the camera and at our engagement session, Danielle made us feel so comfortable. At that moment, we knew we made the right choice for our wedding day! Danielle was an integral part of our planning process - happily scheduling calls as needed to help us develop our timeline, narrow down locations for photos, and even providing us with a detailed timeline and checklists of things to bring for photos. On our wedding day, Danielle ensured that we remained on schedule with our timeline, capturing all the photos that we wanted and needed in a short timeframe. She made an effort to learn the names of our wedding party and family and provided everyone with guidance and feedback in a fun and engaging manner to make sure every photo turned out great! We recently got our sneak peeks back and were so thrilled with how they turned out. We're looking forward to seeing our full gallery soon! Danielle also provided a second shooter at no additional cost to us and he was absolutely fantastic as well! Chris handled getting ready photos of my husband and his groomsmen, making sure they stuck to the timeline, and getting them to where they needed to be - the hardest job of all. He was great to work with and captured beautiful images from different perspectives and angles that we wouldn't have gotten with just one photographer.

Sydney is a California native who married a Virginian. Her love affair with photography started as a kid in the camera shop she would frequent with her mom to get film developed. Years later, after her oldest son was born, she turned her passion into a career. She understands how important it is to capture everything! Sydney loves to celebrate both the big and the little moments - and wants to help you remember them all.

We loved working with Sydney! We got married in May of 2020, and she was so kind and flexible as our plans kept changing due to state guidelines. Her pictures remind me of every surprise, every wonderful thing I want to remember about the best day of my life, and I love getting to relive that day through her photos! She really managed to capture every emotion that we experienced that day in such a beautiful and timeless way, and I'm so excited to work with her again for future family photos.

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

Hannah and her team were OUTSTANDING!! Every step of the process Hannah went above and beyond and really made me feel important and my ideas heard. She was always there and willing to jump in to help with anything and ease my stress on the wedding day. She was extra prepared for whatever and super professional yet down to earth and approachable. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease when taking the photos which really helps make them look and feel very genuine and not stiff and posed. When it came time to delivering the finished gallery we were blown away at just how many STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS photos she had captured and how fast she did it! We couldn’t have been more pleased. She was such a tremendous blessing and we were so so grateful she was a part of our special day. If you are on the fence about what photographer to hire, don’t hesitate any longer, she is the best and you will not regret choosing her and her talents!

I document love stories for the joyful, crazy in love, laid back bride & groom. Being a wedding photographer is the best job in the whole world. I get to work with the most fun loving, beautiful, and COOLEST couples who are just as passionate about authentic moments as I am. You'll also find my couples love good food, their fur babies, and their people! So when it comes to their wedding day, they are most excited to CELEBRATE, and it's my goal to make that happen. I want my couples to make memories with their people, and I am there to capture them!

Corrin is not just a photographer; she's a calming presence and a true artist. On my wedding day, she surpassed all expectations, making me feel at ease throughout. Her assistance rivaled that of my coordinator, and her stunning photos continue to draw compliments. Corrin's warmth is unparalleled – talking to her was like catching up with an old friend. Not only did she effortlessly capture breathtaking moments, but she also ensured my entire bridal party felt comfortable. Corrin, you've not only preserved memories but created an unforgettable experience. Thank you for being both a skilled professional and a lovely person.

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.

Based in Maryland, capture love story worldwide. We work to keep your timeless, intimate, lifetime, romantic, meaningful moments FOREVER. Limited amount of weddings each year so I can get to know you better and create the highest quality of work.

I was so stressed since we started preparing our wedding. Once we booked with Aira, she’s always there for me. She answered questions and provided great ideas. We were running late on our weddings, I was so worried, but Aira kept on telling me that how great we were and she captured everything I wanted. My husband and I were crying when we were watching the slideshow. All the feelings came back at that moment! Can’t thank her more!

Hi I'm Christian! I am a wife, and mother of four who loves any adventure with a passport involved. I am a huge travel junky who loves exploring new places, food, and culture. I fell in love with photography while traveling the world as a child. Years later, I tell the unqiue love stories of stylish, wanderlust couples, who are madly in love. I absolutely love photographing weddings and the relationships I build with the couples I serve. On wedding days you can catch me with two cameras on each hip making sure that every detail is captured.

Christian was a pleasure to work with. She captured absolutely beautiful moments during my wedding and her attention to detail was top notch. She and her staff were very professional. I would highly recommend Christian!
