Meredith Coe Photo

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Richmond, VA

Each event, at it’s root, is a story. It’s a unique story of that moment in time- a newborn coming home, a bride and groom embracing or a grandmother on her 85th birthday - and it's an important moment to hold still. My role as a photographer is to tell that story as honestly as I can. I want people to look back on these memories and remember it exactly as they experienced it. That’s why I aim for transparency in my photography that neither adds nor takes away from the moments that I am documenting.

Meredith was an absolute joy to work with! Her warm, fun energy instantly put us at ease, allowing us to feel comfortable and be ourselves, which truly shines through in our photos. She has an incredible eye for not only capturing the background, lighting, and surroundings perfectly but also bringing out the unique personality of everyone she photographs. We did our engagement photoshoot in NYC, which captured a cool, chic city love story, and our wedding day photoshoot at a vineyard in Charlottesville, VA, on a beautiful summer day. The vineyard setting was so dreamy, and Meredith effortlessly captured the natural beauty of the day, making every moment look timeless and elegant. When you look at her pictures, it feels like you’re reliving those moments. Her shots are full of life—not stiff or posed—but vibrant and authentic, capturing the true essence of each moment. Meredith was also incredibly kind and easy to work with, offering thoughtful advice both before and during the shoot. This was our first time having professional photos taken, but thanks to her, we felt relaxed from the start. Her work is a perfect mix of classy, modern, and elegant, with a splash of fun and a seize-the-day vibe. We’re already excited to work with her again—hopefully for our next photoshoot, when we have a baby! Cannot recommend her enough - just do it, book her!!!

My husband and I cannot applaud Mikkel enough for being such a superstar photographer! She is truly a professional with a bubbly, upbeat attitude and she possesses the rare ability to make you feel like the most important person in the world when she speaks to you. Not only did she remember our wedding day details, but also she made an attempt (successfully) to remember all the names of our family members and friends. My husband and I were also blown away by her amazing talent of being in five places at once on our wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

I want to thank Alisha at Productionista Events for being an integral part of making my wedding day a beautiful success! Alisha is very professional and goes above and beyond her job description. She was more than my Wedding Day of Coordinator she was my friend, my therapist, and more. As many brides already know, planning a wedding can be very stressful, and you don't know which vendors to trust and have to review so many contracts. Through Alisha, I was introduced to quality vendors she personally worked with, so I knew I would be surrounded by people I could trust on my special day. Alisha even caught a scheduling mistake in my DJ's contract. Alisha is very organized, kept track of all my vendors' payment dates, and kept me on budget. My wedding day was so beautiful and STRESS-FREE, and I have Alisha to thank for that. She even helped me with the bustling of my dress (my dress had 5 layers to bustle, so you could only imagine how difficult that task was). Thank you, Alisha, for your kindness, patience, for listening to me vent on occasion, professionalism, and just being a beautiful person inside and out. I can't thank you enough! If you are getting married, please work with Alisha you won't regret it!

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

I can't gush over Grace enough. After postponing our wedding twice due to Covid, we abandoned our original plans of having a huge wedding at home in Kentucky and decided to have a small ceremony at the beach in Florida. After finding Grace through hashtags on Instagram, we DMed a bit and setup a call. After talking on the phone, I was sold! Grace was my go to girl for all things Florida. She had the BEST recommendations for other vendors and was ALWAYS just a text away if I had any questions or simply needed someone to share wedding plans with. Even though we didn't actually meet in person until the day of the ceremony, it felt as if we had been lifelong friends. She PERFECTLY captured our ceremony and I can't wait to plan another shoot with her when we visit again!!

LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!

I have had an absolutely amazing experience with Naomi Culley Photography during my wedding year; I could not recommend her enough to other brides, couples, and families! We originally booked Naomi for our engagement photo shoot in the Outer Banks, and she provided us with stunning photos that will be cherished for the rest of our lives. She captured our relationship perfectly, and we laughed along with her during the entire shoot. We had such a wonderful time with Naomi and were so thrilled by our photos that we immediately decided to book her to photograph our wedding day as well! Her unique ideas, fun spirit, and incredible talent behind the camera makes us so thankful to have the opportunity to utilize her services for the most special day of our lives. Naomi has prioritized building a relationship with us as her clients, while being incredibly organized, communicating in a timely manner, and consistently being attentive to our requests. She has gone above and beyond as our photographer by recommending other top quality vendors in the area as well, and making our photography vision/planning stress-free. We simply cannot contain our excitement to see our upcoming wedding photos, and we cannot stop looking at our prior engagement photos. We are beyond lucky for the incredible moments and memories that were snapped behind Naomi's lens - I highly recommend Naomi Culley Photography to anyone looking for an excellent, professional, and truly wonderful photography experience!

Kierstin was my sister's wedding planner. My sister Alyssa had a same intimate wedding on a plantation in Hawaii. Kierstin made sure the wedding went great and She got reinvolved in with the other wedding guest and made sure everyone had fun time.

Hi! I'm Carly. ​ I am a Northern Virginia based photographer who combines film and digital photography to create romantic and artistic images that will still be loved in 30 years. As a photographer and a girl who has been a bride herself, I know how important it is to hire someone you trust to document your wedding day. It's more than just an 8 hour day. It's personal. It's catching the in between moments and freezing them in photos...like his reaction when he sees you in your dress for the first time. If you are looking for a wedding photography experience that is full of value and attention to detail, you are in the right place!

He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was the best! My husband and I would not have wanted anyone else to capture our special day. He did our engagement and wedding photos and our photos came out incredible! Jason is professional, friendly, and his outgoing personality makes the shoot so comfortable and enjoyable. During our wedding, he also went above and beyond by making sure to take care of us. He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot. So grateful for his expertise and we totally recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Amber’s ability to capture the honest, meaningful and organic emotions of the day makes her one of the most sought after wedding photographers. She has spent years crafting a unique one of a kind experience for her clients with a combination of digital and film images. Her signature photography style is best described as chic, timeless and natural. She believes a wedding day should be documented through the eyes and heart of her clients, capturing the fleeting moments that they never want to forget.

Amber made me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Taking pictures with her felt so natural, just like she was there to really capture the day rather than us constantly posing, which I really appreciate. I was absolutely stunned when we got our gallery back. The care that Amber puts into composing the perfect image speaks for itself when you see the final product. There was no detail missing and i’m so glad we have these to look back on for the rest of our lives. I recommend Amber to all my newly engaged friends because the experience is unparalleled - she is the best!
