Timeless Photo Video provided excellent service for our wedding day photography and videography. Jamie and Matt were prompt, attentive, and captured all the special moments with an intimate, detailed style that we loved. They communicated in a timely manner leading up to the wedding and delivered the final products quickly after. While a few photos were overexposed, we were very pleased overall with their work and the value we received.

Hey there! I'm Hannah, your go-to, candid-photo-loving wedding storyteller.I'm Hannah Hardy, a passionate wedding photographer based in the heart of Virginia. With an eye for the moments that matter most, I'm here to ensure that your special day is not only captured but transformed into a visual narrative that you'll treasure forever. My journey as a wedding photographer began with a deep fascination for emotions, connections, and the unspoken language of love.

There are no words to describe the breathtaking photos that we received back from our October 14, 2023 wedding!! Every single picture is stunning and there isn’t one single picture that we (even a little bit) don’t like. Hannah and her SIL showed up and quickly got to work. That day it was raining from dawn until the start of the ceremony and they showed up with smiles and raincoats to get every shot imaginable. They not only captured the sentiments of us but also captured the party and joy in everyone else there. I can not recommend Quinn Photography enough and will 1000 times out of 10 pick them for all of my photography needs! If you’re still in limbo on finding a photographer rather it be for a wedding, family, couple, birthday, holiday or whatever your heart desires stop what you’re doing and reach out to them.

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
I recommend Nicole Thomas to be your wedding photographer with utmost enthusiasm. I have heard from a friend that Nicole has many years of experience and this wedding photography experience and is the best of the best, both in terms of the quality of her pictures and her personality. Her work really stood out from other photographers, and “told a story.” Both the amazing quality of her work and her willingness to work with me and my husband on the day of our wedding back in February 2022, made her an easy choice for us to be our wedding photographer. Nicole’s portfolio is unique from the others, and you can witness her dedication and respect for work. I am very grateful for her to capture those memories forever so me and my husband can look back on that day and cherish these moments.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her. Kathleen makes you feel like an instant friend, and it's because you are! I absolutely recommend Kathleen.

DeLine Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Smithfield, VA

My excited, caring and spunky with a side of ‘hell yeah’ personality makes people feel comfortable, protected and loved. I meet people, hug them within seconds and it’s not awkward. Also, catch me slingin' jokes and dancing while I work or just on a Tuesday. I started my business three years ago, since then I've captured 102 weddings and over 200 couples, I can't image doing anything else! I’m married to Alex, love of my life, cat-doggy daddy, and muse. We fell in love after I called him a loser the moment we met. Since then we've lived in Hawaii, traveled the world and added two fur babies!

When you choose DeLine Photography, you're choosing a partner and friend, not a vendor! My wife and I are professional photographers and videographers, so the selection process wasn't taken lightly for our own wedding. Cat made the short list immediately and then after meeting with her, getting to know how professionally structured her and her team are, it was a no brainer. Oh, not to mention her style of photo taking and editing is natural. Like us. If the grass is green and the sky is blue, that is how they should appear on the final product. I digress... It's not just about the business portion, but also the personal interaction. Our engagement shoot was so freeing. So much so that we all shared a drink together and took time to understand we are actually similar people with similar interests, not just a business transaction. I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley, another member of her team, as the second shooter for our wedding day and I can say without a doubt, that those things we enjoyed so much about the engagement session with Cat are also present with Ashley. I have been the photog or videographer when the groom is getting ready and I learned things from Ashley that I will use to make the next groom I work with feel comfortable and natural. When Cat arrived on our wedding day, rocking a sick blue jumper, ready for comfort and functionality, I was immediately at ease. This is a person that knows what she needs to do to be at her best and recognizing that allowed me to turn my vendor brain off and just enjoy every second of our special day. Lastly, the delivery process of sneak peeks, a surprise video from our final dance and blog post has been top notch and has given my wife and I the ability to relive so many moments together and with friends and family, even before the gallery is sent. Our interactions with those family and friends have warmed our hearts because their words about how amazing their time was at our wedding, gets backed up by those moments captured for a lifetime. If you have made it this far and haven't booked Cat yet, this is me telling you to do it now! She isn't just a vendor, she's a friend! And who doesn't have room for one more friend to celebrate one of the biggest days of their life?

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

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. My Client for Life program evolved when so many couples came back to me for newborn and family sessions - I LOVE building that relationship and becoming "their" photographer for life.

Saying Ashley (and her associate photographer, Bri) was amazing just does not do her justice. Ashley did both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and both were stunning. The communication with Ashley throughout the entire process was easy, she always responded quickly. She was so willing to answer our questions and give us tons of wedding planning advice. She made sure to get every single shot we asked for. Her skills are beyond unbelievable. She makes you feel so comfortable and makes sure you are having fun while taking all of your photos. She even helped me with our timeline, which helped the day run smoothly. Her turnaround time is extremely fast, unrivaled in the industry. We received our sneak peeks less than 12 hours after the photography ended. We received our full wedding gallery less than 2 weeks after our wedding date! We were blown away by all of the photos. Her editing is top quality and every single photo looks stellar. We could not recommend Ashley enough for any occasion, not just weddings!

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 believe in honest portraiture, which basically means capturing YOU, your family, or your business in ways that legitimately feel real. 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.

Hey there! Thanks so much for checking out! my page. I’m a couples and wedding photographer based out of Virginia Beach, Va but you can take me anywhere(: I’ve always loved taking photos and editing them, but couples have just completely stolen my heart. Being able to get creative and meet so many amazing couples all while giving you something you’ll have forever is what makes it so fun! Feel free to visit my instagram or website to see my most up to date sessions and learn more about me! (:

The first thing that caught my eye with Kyndall was her editing style. I mean when picking a photographer that’s pretty important to love! Her style was so unique and almost ethereal. I just got the best vibes from everything she had online and immediately I knew I wanted her for our wedding. From the moment we decided on Kyndall, I was impressed by her efficient and thorough communication and the entire process of booking. I loved being able to pay through her portal and have reminders throughout the year. She was always available if I had a small question or needed advice on something during my planning. Then the real magic happened day-of! Her and Bre were a highlight of my day truly. They were simply FUN. Immaculate vibes, we all fell into things very easily. It was a very blustery day and I wasn’t feeling super pretty- just kind of disheveled honestly. Despite the weather they both made me feel beautiful, comfortable, confident, and at ease, and I know my friends and family would agree. Her work was exactly what I was hoping for to capture our special day, and her personality was a bonus. Kyndall was genuinely fun to work with, and I cannot wait to see the final results. I’ve seen the sneak peaks (which I got literally less than 12 hours after our wedding!!) and I can say without a doubt hiring Kyndall was truly the best decision we made in selecting vendors. I would highly recommend her services to any couple planning their wedding.

Hello! My name is Liz Seidel and I can't wait to spend time with you! I am the sole owner/photographer at Sterling Life Photography. I have been documenting weddings and people full time since the summer of 2015. I have two beautiful children that keep me busy and laughing. I love driving with no destination while listening to audible, wine, a good laugh that makes your cheeks hurt, and melting into the scene at weddings.

We are so grateful to Liz for capturing the beauty and spirit of Emily and Matt’s wedding day. Liz was able to accompany us throughout the entire day in a way that did not interfere with any of the events or aspects of the day. She has a unique ability to capture the many moments of two families coming together as one by seamlessly threading together the tenderness of friends and family helping the bride and groom getting ready, to the love and holiness of the ceremony, and finally to the exuberance and free spirited joy and celebration of the reception. Then, Liz patiently put all of it together to create distinctively individual albums for the bride and groom, for our family and for Matt's family. Liz did an amazing job and I would highly recommend her to any bride and groom.

As your wedding photographer I understand the journey you have been on that leads you to your wedding day. I know about the unique twists and turns of your story as a couple and how much this celebration means to you both. I know these things because I am invested in you as a couple just as you are investing in me as your photographer. As you vow to be true to each other for the rest of your lives, I promise to capture you in a timeless and romantic way that creates heirloom quality images that eventually turn into your legacy.

Meridith Bright is an exceptional photographer. You would be absolutely blessed to have her by your side at any event. Meridith photographed my wedding (10/14/2023), welcome party (10/13/2023), and a recent family photography session (9/2023). I could not have been happier with her work, professionalism, and vibe. Due to budget reasons, we were unable to have a second shooter, but she was EVERYWHERE. Every single time I looked up, there was Meredith. It rained on my wedding day, which limited our availability for photo locations - no big deal, she improvised and came up with excellent second choices. When I stepped outside the tent to take selfies with my girlfriends in the rain, all of a sudden there was Meridith capturing our moment as well. I’m a photography addict and I had some out of the box ideas that Meridith admittedly didn't have experience with. I love that she was open and honest about not having done this type of photo before and I loved her willingness to try out the photo styles. One of these requested photos was in my sneak peak, and it was to die for, perfect. Two days before my wedding, my mother surprised me with a list of photos she would be requiring for the day. I thought my "official" timeline by my planner wasn't going to be able to accommodate this. Meridith took charge. She went back and forth with me multiple times over the next 48hrs and created a new timeline to ensure we could get it done. Lastly, after all that back and forth, I was insanely late the day of my wedding. There was a bit of drama (surprise lol), and I did not complete my hair and makeup until over an hour after I was supposed to. Oh my goodness was Meridith wonderful in this situation. She never flustered or got angry with me. Instead, she lovingly kept reminding me of the importance to have fun and enjoy this time. So while I was freaking out at the potential of ruining everything, Meridith was go with the flow, upbeat, and calming - all things I really needed. I got my sneak peak photos from the wedding and welcome party on 10/15/2023. 26 pictures of pure perfection. OBSESSED! They are absolutely gorgeous. The day had its fair share of craziness, but these pictures are out of this world – coming from someone with 105,891 pictures on their phone. I feel like I got my perfect day, which will forever mean the world to me and would not have been able to happen without Meridith Bright. Thank you for everything, Mer! And to the googlers still reading, book her – you won’t regret it.
