Jennifer Mary Photography LLC

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Salem, VA for additional fees

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

Lelia Angelique Weddings 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Salem, VA for additional fees

As a seasoned wedding photographer with over seven years of experience, I specialize in capturing vibrant, timeless, and authentic love stories. My passion for photography stems from my love for people and their unique journeys. Engaged to my fiancée, Sarah, I understand the importance of celebrating love in all its forms. My goal is to make your wedding day seamless and joyful, blending professional excellence with a down-to-earth approach. I strive to be more than just a photographer—I aim to be a friend who enhances your wedding experience, capturing every special moment with care.

Lelia Angelique photography went above my expectations! Angelique was so great to work with on the wedding day, she actually even helped my mom zip me into my second dress because the zipper got stuck! My only critic was that I felt a bit rushed and overwhelmed with family photos and hurt some people’s feelings but honestly that was my own fault. Angelique provides a form to fill out in advanced for family photos and I think had I wrote more than the recommended photo count, she definitely would have made it work. She really is “on your side” in wedding day. She even was able to edit photos during her dinner break, so we had sneak peaks immediately. Post wedding day, Angelique worked with me to select my favorite photos and ordered a really nice wedding photo album and a couple prints for us. When I asked for a couple re-edits she was so quick and polite about it. Truly would recommend her to anyone!

Eisley Images

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Salem, VA for additional fees

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

Katie Arnold Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,800
  • Serves Salem, VA for additional fees

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)
