  • Serves Sanford, VA

I specialize in capturing the real, candid moments during your wedding day. My approach is all about blending seamlessly into your event. Clients often describe me as calm, cool, and personable. While I take a variety of photos, I stay in the background, moving fluidly throughout the day. My goal is to preserve those fleeting moments, often capturing details you might not have noticed in the excitement of the day. My role also is to make your day stress-free. Whether it's helping direct family for portraits or keeping things running smoothly, I'll be by your side to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

Christine is amazing! I was looking for a photographer for my wedding who’s work had more contrast than a lot of the light and airy photos I’ve seen lately and Christine definitely delivered! She’s super sweet and easy to work with (even doing our engagement pictures when she was super pregnant)! She did such a great job of scouting locations to take photos for our downtown San Diego wedding and we love that we have pictures in different spots around our venue. She also spent time talking through different dynamics with families for wedding pictures so we could get all the combos we needed without awkwardness of certain family members not getting along. I cannot recommend working with Christine enough! Hire her- you won’t regret it!!

I am a photographer, coordinator, artist, friend, and romantic documenting unscripted moments of life and love. I have that wedding-day giddiness when I photograph weddings, which I absolutely love documenting. I am always honored to be a part each and every wedding I photograph and to capture those important moments!

Laura's Focus Photography went above and beyond all our expectations. It's honestly hard to put into words just how grateful we are for Laura's exceptional work. Saying we're impressed doesn't even come close! Every time my husband and I revisit our wedding photos, it's like reliving those magical moments all over again. Each image brings back such fond memories of our special day, and being able to share those moments with our loved ones has been incredibly rewarding, all thanks to Laura's incredible talent. Right from our very first meeting, Laura's professionalism, expertise, and calming presence put us at ease. She was super responsive to any questions I had before the wedding, and her timeline guidance and advice on hair and makeup rotations were invaluable. Her attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic without a single worry. The photos turned out absolutely breathtaking, striking a perfect and timeless balance between documentary-style shots and those capturing the warmth of our family and friends. Without a doubt, we will wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone we know who is planning their wedding.

Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with for our Fall engagement session. We knew right after the introductory call that she was the best fit for us and she was very prompt in responding to our emails, including sharing some helpful tips and photo inspiration from her experiences. We chose to do half our session outdoor, where Megan truly helped us relax in front of the camera and picked out some A+ scenery to include. The other half was indoor, cooking in our kitchen! It was a new experience all around and Megan was nothing but professional - capturing all the smiles and laughs that we hoped our favorite activity would bring.

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 26-year-old wedding photographer based just outside DC in NoVA. Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal!

I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

My husband and I worked with Paul for both our engagement session and wedding. Knowing nothing about CIP, we decided to work with them due to the affordability of their wedding packages and ample portfolio photos. It was important to us that we found someone who could capture both the sappiness and the goofiness of our relationship, and Paul nailed it. Not only was he personable and entertaining, he also knew exactly what he was doing. He asked us the right questions prior to the big day and made sure we knew what to expect, and he slid very easily into the role of MC, which made the event run so much smoother. Not only that, but the turnaround time for photos was FAST, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! I have nothing but praise for Paul and the CIP team and am so thankful we got the pleasure of working with them.

Where do I start. I was really hesitant to go with a photographer I didn't know, as I was set on someone else for years, but they didn't have my date. But let me say, I am so happy I found Andrea as she exceeded my expectations. The first meeting with Andrea, I had such a peace about having her photograph our special day. She made the entire process so seamless and she was extremely professional and communicative. Our engagement session she made me and my husband feel so comfortable - my husband was nervous as we have never been photographed and he literally said "wow, she made that so easy, I'm so glad we went with her" and I 100% agreed, we knew we made the right decision. The day of our wedding Andrea was running all over to get all the perfect pictures and my sister in law (also a photographer) noted how amazing of a photographer she was just how she went about our wedding day. Pictures are something that you will have for a lifetime - go with Andrea!!!!

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband Will and I got married in October and we planned everything together. Hands down, the easiest and best decision we made (besides going through with the marriage ;-)) was picking Chris as our photographer. He was so easy to work with from the get go. We set up a brief meeting, shared our vision (we wanted a "photojournalist approach"), and mapped out a schedule of events. Anything that we did not think to ask, he made sure to bring up and help make our vision more complete. Chris was excellent at capturing all of the tiny moments of the night without being in anyone's way. The pictures that he captured were absolutely STUNNING--the perfect amount of sentimental moments captured in beautiful lighting and silly off the cuff moments that captured the essence of each and every guest. We would work again with Chris in a heartbeat and friends have already requested his contact information for their ceremony. As an added bonus, because we did not end up using Chris for all of the allotted time, he offered to do a separate photoshoot whenever we would like. It's those little attention to details and customer service which make Chris stand out from the rest. Overall, Chris was kind, professional, quick to edit and publish photos, and an amazing photographer. You would not do wrong by hiring him!

Layla was a WONDERFUL photographer. We knew from our engagement shoot that she would bring the same positive, warm, and comforting vibe to the wedding day but she exceeded expectations. She brought a second photographer (per our request) that we hadn't met before but both of them connected with all of our wedding guests, captured the most beautiful, intimate, and representative moments. We were sad when they left but not for the lack of photography! It took about 6 weeks to get our photos and they were amazing - we got nearly a thousand edited shots from the day, meaning we'll get to relive the entire night for the rest of our lives.

Bellocq Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. They were great to chat with throughout the planning process, and their communication style put us at ease. On the day of, they provided excellent direction on how to pose, and the resulting photos are absolutely stunning. They captured all of the most important moments, as well as many extra shots that really tell the story of our special day. The editing is beautiful and we couldn't be happier with the final album. Bellocq Weddings went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfectly documented, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and personable photography team.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

We could not love our engagement and wedding pictures more! From our first meeting with McKenna she got our vibe and made us both feel comfortable. We don't love pictures of ourselves but McKenna's shots captured our personalities and love for each other and made us feel so good. The only trouble is narrowing down which shots we want to get printed to display in our house! You will not go wrong with 1828 Collective and McKenna!

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

As a hopeless millennial, probably trying a bit too hard to hold onto her youth, I always try to bring fun and lighthearted energy everywhere I go. Life is just too short to sweat the small stuff, peeps!

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW! We think that is truly the only appropriate way to start a review about Kylee’s photography and business. To say what we thought having a photographer would be like for our wedding day versus what we got could not be more different. It feels like we gained a new best friend, with more talent than can even be described. From start to finish Kylee was amazing. Seeing someone so vocal with her support of the LGBTQ community was just a small part of making her part of our special day. Her work definitely speaks for itself, but the day of was total magic. It felt like we had a best friend with us all day, and you could feel the love all night. She worked INCREDIBLY well with our videographer, DJ, and day-of coordinator and honestly- she could probably be a day of coordinator as well with how seamlessly she helped the day run! So many of our guests have complimented her, as she did not make a single moment feel ‘staged’. She was able to capture the most important elements of our special day, without feeling like we were being ‘pulled out of the moment’ for a photograph. We do not know how she does it, but we know we made the right decision with Kylee. If you are considering Kylee B Photography for anything, DO NOT hesitate. She is unbelievable. THANK YOU again for everything. Danny and Hans

My work is inspired by romantic minimalism, modern elegance, and non-traditional perspectives. From stolen glances to joyous celebrations, I strive to capture what is at the heart of your relationship, weaving together a narrative that is uniquely yours. I blend a unique mix of documentary and editorial style photography in my craft: the documentary style to capture the events of your day in close detail, and the editorial style to provide copious amounts of posing guidance so you and your loved ones feel confident that you look like your absolute best in your photos.

After interviewing a few photographers for my proposal, Sravya clearly stood out to me as the best one for the job. She was very responsive, flexible, and kind. Most importantly, I loved her vision and support day of during the shoot. Her artistic eye made the photos turn out beautiful! She also delivered all of the pictures on time. Highly recommend working with Sravya!

Snowdrop Creative Co.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves Sanford, VA

Snowdrop Creative Co. was born from a dream. A dream that I could do the things that I LOVE, be present for my children and my partner, and create work that I am proud of. It sounds like what we all wish for, right? Well, it isn't always so simple as "I want this, so I'm doing it." I spent ten years in retail management. I spent long days away from my family, only to get home to them and be too tired to enjoy my time with them. My life was cold and dreary, and I knew something had to change. And so, Snowdrop was born. A place where I can create and love what I do. Capture memories and magic and joy in a single moment.

From the moment we first spoke with Snowdrop Creative Co., we were impressed by their kind, prompt, and super prepared communication style. On our wedding day, Alexandra and Ashley went above and beyond to make sure everything was captured perfectly. They helped me get ready, made sure I had my wine and pain reliever, refreshed my lipstick, and were great company throughout the day. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - they were incredibly creative and didn't miss a single special moment, including capturing our cake cutting for free. We would recommend Snowdrop Creative Co. to any couple looking for 10/10 wedding photography services.

As most hopeless romantics do, I love love. I love the small, quiet moments as much as the grand gestures. It is a unique honor to be the one to document those details on a wedding day. I believe deeply that love is as close as we’ll ever get to magic.

You will not regret choosing Jennifer as your photographer. She did an absolutely incredible job capturing my surprise and every beautiful moment after. She had the teaser photos ready so quickly for us to be blown away by, and she was so communicative through the entire process. Her pictures are stunning and she was so fun to work with! We aren’t natural models by any means, but somehow she made us look like we’ve been in front of the camera for years. Cannot wait to work with her again for our wedding!!!

Hello! We're Ashley and Justin of The Bere Collective and we're glad you found us! We've been a romantic pair for over 11 years and we have photographed weddings together for eight years. In 2017 we eloped to Juneau, Alaska and made our union official. We are a queer wife & husband photography team that are both proudly vegan and LGBTQIA+ affirming. We do a combination of digital and film photography, including instant film photos with a polaroid land camera from the 1960's and 35mm black & white film. We adore couples that are madly in love, lush fresh florals, and venues with gorgeous natural light.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley and Justin are incredibly professional, very easy to work with, and just all around great people. The thing I cared about most on my wedding day was getting quality photos that I would cherish for the rest of my life, and they certainly delivered! The day was pretty far from traditional, but they were accommodating all the way. At first I was a bit worried about bringing photographers to a tattoo parlor to take photos of us getting our rings tattooed, but they were so cool about it and the photos turned out amazing! After the tattoo shop they followed us to the (very small) ceremony, and then to a third location just to take photos of my husband I. I'm not very comfortable in front of the camera, but they were able to capture spectacular candid shots, and in the posed photos, provide direction that helped me feel like a proper model. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you're any type of alternative.

Stop by at out Insta and reach out with any questions ❤

Tigran was so easy to work with from day one! He took our engagement photos and wedding photos and they all turned out so beautifully. He had a wonderful vision for each moment and was so lovely to all of our friends and family. He is a true artist and we couldn’t recommend highly enough!
