I’m AnaGabriele (Ana), and the owner of Unearthed Photographical! My partner and I have been photographing weddings since 2016, when two upcoming brides I’d gone to high school with, saw that I was still taking photos and asked me to photograph their big days! Those two events made me realize how much I absolutely love wedding photography. Since then, we’ve honed in on our craft, learning how to make the process as smooth as possible for all of our clients. We love riding out on the Harley, crafting, and hanging out with our toddlers.

Unearthed Photographical were the best communicators throughout our entire wedding planning process. From our initial consultation to the day of, they were incredibly responsive, attentive, and helpful in guiding us on how to get the most out of our photography coverage. The quality of their work was fabulous - they captured moments and angles I didn't even realize I wanted documented, and the final photos came out absolutely gorgeous. I will definitely be using Unearthed Photographical for all of my future photography needs and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer experience.

Nicole Thomas Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Salem, VA

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Best photographer ever!!! Nicole was nothing short of AMAZING! She captured every moment and more. When you look at her photos is like you are re-living that moment. That’s how the pictures make you feel!!! She is very professional, patient and just great to work with. She also is willing to help with other wedding things if you need her to. She always asked if there is anything I can do to help. Book her!! You will not be disappointed!!

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

The Kanded Photography Team is just awesome. They are so fun to be around. The recently shot a wedding at my venue and the pictures were AMAZING! They have an awesome eye for capturing unique photos that aren’t “cookie cutter.” They not only made the couple look amazing, but captured the beauty of our venue perfectly.

Hello! I’m Toni Jones, and I bring a heartfelt passion for photography to every frame I capture.

This experience has been invaluable as I transitioned into photography, particularly in capturing the profound moments of couples’ lives. My approach is personal and intimate. I believe in creating a connection with every client, understanding their story, and reflecting that narrative through my lens. It’s not just about the photos; it’s about the experience and the memories we create during the process.

TJ Divine Image captured our unique and dynamic partnership in no time at all!

The studio was welcoming and the entire experience felt a little like being pampered--from the music of our choice to Toni's open and engaging smile and her deep attention to detail.

Heart of Loveland Photography 
  • Classic style
  • Serves Salem, VA

Hi, I’m Taylor! I'm based here in Loveland, Colorado. I travel to shoot weddings on the East Coast whenever I can. our level of trust in the person behind the lens is so important; not only to me but to the product that will be your wedding album. That's why I focus on what YOU as a couple have to say from right where you are...on your most special day. And of course, everyone is different. It takes a level of trust to book a wedding vendor and a solid relationship from the get-go. That's why, when the Big Day finally comes, pictures won't be on your mind. Love like yours is the reason Heart of Loveland Photography exists.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous! I had taken a few with my iPhone - and while I knew his would be better, his totally blew me away. I can't wait to work with Journeys Photography 941 again!

Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding photos by From GA with Love are absolutely breathtaking. We had our ceremony overlooking a serene Swan Lake at sunset, and the way they captured the luxury and tranquility of that moment still takes my breath away. The shot of us holding hands on the elegant wooden bridge, with the golden light reflecting off the water, looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale. They didn’t just capture the ‘big moments’—the quiet glances, the subtle laughter, and the peaceful calm of our surroundings were all preserved so perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with how every detail was immortalized with such artistry and care. If you want photos that tell the real story of your day—and make it look like pure luxury—look no further!

Sarah was our photographer and she was great. I was planning a destination wedding in New York from California and she made it easy to connect. To talk style and shortlist. On the day of she came early to set up and she helped get the guests in position and made suggestions for lighting and poses to make the most of the location and the lighting through the day/sunset. I’ve already gotten a glimpse of how that worked since my friends followed her around snapping the same poses on their phones and they are amazing. Looking forward to the real shots.

  • Serves Salem, VA for additional fees

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Elizabeth was a pleasure to work with. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable, and that shines through in the photos. We are obsessed with how our wedding pictures turned out. She’s the best!

When we had an unexpected change to our plans for our wedding just a couple weeks before our big day, I found Michaela and she was a saving grace! She was very professional, took in a few of the things that I really wanted to capture and took them to a new level, and ultimately photographed our wedding better than I could have imagined. She was extremely reasonable in price. I am definitely booking her again when we get pictures done.

Caleb and Brittany are such a pleasure to work with!

They themselves are just such a fun and beautiful couple and made us feel so comfortable during the photo shoots. It really felt like you were just hanging out with friends and there just happened to be a camera there to capture all of the special moments! It’s amazing to see how these two can just look at their surroundings on the spot and immediately come up with a vision and instruct you on how to make that vision come to life. They compliment each other so well and really work as a team during these shoots. Caleb and Brittany made us feel so confident and were hyping us up the entire time - what more could you want from a photo shoot?!
