Lotus Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Stafford, VA

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I fell in love with capturing weddings in 2017 and I have been hooked ever since!

Georgette took our engagement portraits in DC at sunrise and they are absolutely stunning images! Georgette’s energy and excitement about her work is truly infectious, and she made our shoot so enjoyable! We laughed the whole time and had so much FUN. Georgette did an awesome job of helping us find natural poses that photographed really well, while also embracing any spontaneous moments during the shoot (we love a jumping shot!) She captured our personalities so well. The images are absolutely stunning and bring back warm memories of our amazing experience capturing our engagement photos. :)

Awarded Best of Zola
There are no amount of words to be able to explain how much I enjoyed working with Morgan for our wedding! Long story short, 6 weeks out we were suddenly in need of a new photographer & videographer. I frantically posted in a wedding facebook group & Morgan was recommended. Having to find a new photographer & finding Morgan was a huge blessing in disguise. From our first call, she made me feel at ease with her not only capturing our love story but also as an asset to help things run smoothly on our big day! Though we met Morgan for the first time on our wedding day, she immediately made us feel comfortable. She is so fun and kind but also knows how to take charge when needed! She is extremely organized & did a great job capturing the photos I wanted based on inspiration photos. Our bridal party had so much fun taking photos which says a lot if you've ever been a part of one. My hubby even enjoyed taking photos which he hates to do! Her second shooter, Hannah, was super sweet, a great help, and added amazing ideas & photos. Morgan gave us so many beautiful photos that we will cherish forever! I seriously can't recommend Morgan enough!!

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! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

Hello! My name is Alexis and I am a wedding photographer serving Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and destinations beyond. I create natural, elegant, artful wedding photography for the adventurous, romantic, classic couple in love. I have eight years of professional wedding photography experience. I've had the opportunity of capturing the most achingly beautiful love stories around the globe, from intimate chapel weddings in Greek villages, traditional cathedral weddings in the city, and now the large familial celebrations in the iconic capital city of Washington DC.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alexis is a phenomenal photographer. We first worked with her back in 2017 for our wedding. We had only a few shots in mind and were otherwise not sure what we wanted. She walked us through every single pose, taking background, light, and body position into every shot. The pictures we got back are still one of the highlights from the day. After our wedding, and after she moved to the DMV area where we live, we have continued to use her for family photos every year. Our most recent was family and newborn pictures for our third and she was amazing as usual. She was wonderful and patient with our kids, gave tips on how to have a successful experience with a newborn, and blew us away with the most beautiful family photos. We will continue to use Alexis every time we want new family pictures and refuse to see anyone else. We highly recommend her!

When I'm not taking pictures, you can find me homeschooling my two awesome kids, teaching speech & debate, reading obsessively, and watching Lord of the Rings on repeat :)

She was exceptionally kind to us, asked great questions ahead of time to help us figure out what we wanted and wanted to prioritize. On the day of, she expertly navigated our changing needs, like accommodating tiny kids’ timelines. She was also exceptionally kind to take photos at the family farm in addition to the church, for some more scenery. Her work is truly natural, elegant, lifelike, and absolutely beautiful - we were thrilled with the final photos that captured all the special moments of our day, including our first look at the altar. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our picture taken much at all, but Katie did a phenomenal job putting us at ease, giving us clear and concise posing direction, and capturing us looking our best in our happiest moments. Katie was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional photography team to help make their wedding day perfect.

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

Rob did an amazing job. The guests loved him and he really got some amazing shots. He got down on the ground, climbed fences, and ran all over the place to get the shot when we thought of it. He make everyone comfortable and really make sure to get those shots during the wedding with dancing and fun

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!

Carly is one of my favorite vendors to work with! I'm a florist and have worked with her multiple times. She has an incredible eye for fine art & her photographs reflect this. You will never regret choosing her to be your photographer!

Timeless. Intimate. Organic. My name is Molly Majher (pronounced like "major") and I am a wedding photographer serving VA, WV, MD and more! I'm a wife, mom, and LOTR & HP fangirl. When you hire me as your wedding photographer you don't just get a person who shows up with a camera, but you get someone who you can be yourself around, who answers your questions, helps create your wedding day timeline, holds your umbrella when it rains and calms your nerves. I do all this while taking stunning photos for you to remember all the big and little moments of your wedding day.

I was blown away when I stumbled across Molly’s Instagram page 2 years ago, and even more blown away after receiving our own engagement and wedding galleries. Not only is she incredibly talented, she’s also incredibly kind, thoughtful, and fun. From the moment we met her all the way through to the wedding day, she was there for our questions and matching our excitement. Her calm, patient, caring personality is such a comfort on a busy wedding day and made the day go so smoothly. There are already so many things to think about when planning a wedding; trusting your vendors wholeheartedly makes such a difference and that is exactly how we felt about our wedding photos, we just knew they would be perfect and they were. Best decision we made, hands down!

I absolutely loved Maria and her husband. They were so easy to work with and very flexible on the day of. Maria did my boudoir photos as well and she helped so much with the awkwardness by being so personable and cracking a few jokes to lighten the mood. I am so glad we chose them, and the photos look PHENOMENAL. Go with them, seriously you won’t regret it!

  • Serves Stafford, VA

I have an absolute passion for capturing genuine moments and the magic of love that couples share when marrying the love of their life. I love capturing every detail, every special moment you share, stunning portraits of you and your partner-- All of it! My goal is to capture breathtaking photos that take you back in time when you see them in a storytelling & photo-journalistic way and in a vibrant & airy style. Images that will be treasured throughout the years, not only by you but the following generations to come.

Giuliana provided the flexibility I needed. Being a new mom and trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was more than insane. She was able to deal with my being bad at preplanning and need to change things up with little notice. I cannot express how appreciative I am of that! She’s very sweet and amazingly talented. My family was treated like people instead of clients and it made everything go so smoothly. Without her advice I would have been lost when it went to planning out the pictures. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!! Her prices are fair and she’s just an amazing person. Thank you for everything Giuliana! :)

Sarah Houston Photography

I am a lover of pretty light, laughing with my couples and curating fine art weddings & engagements for the Audrey Hepburn’s of Charlottesville, Virginia and beyond. When I’m not photographing weddings you can find me in my favorite place-Walt Disney World.

Oh my goodness, working with Sarah was probably the best decision we made from our entire wedding. From the first moment I saw her photography, I knew she specialized in romantic, bright, and really stunning photos, but I couldn’t have predicted how unbelievable ours would turn out. They are easily the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen. Not only did she capture the colors and details in such a vibrant way, but more importantly her photos show the love, emotion, and even the fun that we had together and with our friends and families. I’ve never seen the way I look when I look at my husband, and I’m so incredibly grateful that I now can. She truly brings the day to life, and makes your photos look as gorgeous as the day itself feels. Sarah is also super relatable, funny, and sweet. At this point I kind of just want to be her best friend, and I’m a little sad that we won’t have any more planning meetings together haha. We really looked forward to those! She made us feel so at ease through the entire planning process and the wedding day itself, and got us even more excited for the special day as we talked through all the details and photography potential at our venue. On the day of, she was always exactly in the right spot to capture a key moment, she guided us toward locations that were perfectly lit, she even climbed into a creek to take the most stunning photos of us during golden hour. She will do anything to make sure your photo dreams come true (and they’ll be even better than you could’ve dreamed, honestly!). She is also extremely fast. Our families and friends still talk about how shocked they are that we got our photos so quickly. She had our sneak peeks to us the day after the wedding, and we had the full set before we even came back from our honeymoon! She is unreal! It was about the same timeframe with our engagement photos too — and we still look at those more than a year later, they’re just stunning. For your wedding day, Sarah Houston is everything you could ask for in every way. She became my confidant, best friend, and more on the most special day of my life. I could not be more grateful to have had her there, and to have her incredible photos now. Thank goodness she does non-wedding shoots so we can work with her again someday soon :) Seriously, you would be doing yourself a favor by booking with her! She is so amazing!

It is so nice to have you here! I am a Charlottesville Washington DC and Virginia Wedding Photographer who creates artful film-inspired imagery with a combination of timeless editorial and hybrid candid photography that recreates tangible memories of what matters most: you and your authentic love story. With a passion for wanderlust and most importantly my family, I know that life's most cherished moments are fleeting. It's an honor to create emotional love-story centered heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.
