Awarded Best of Zola
Megan was amazing! I got to work with her on planning this surprise proposal in Shenandoah. We had plenty of discussion in advance of the event where she provided recommendations, advice, and prepared contingencies for the day of the proposal. We had to make late changes due to weather forecasts, and she adjusted seamlessly. She also played the part of "random photographer at an overlook" perfectly, so the proposal was truly a surprise up until I took out the ring. We also got photos at 2 different overlooks in Shenandoah, which was really nice. These are just the sneak peeks that she gave us within 12 hours of the proposal (amazingly quick for great pictures we could use for announcing), and we really couldn't be more grateful. Looking forward to seeing the full gallery when it's complete and so many thanks to Megan for her incredible work!

Awarded Best of Zola
I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

She made sure that her and her wonderful husband/assistant were everywhere all at once...lol. Capturing ever special moment with lots of detail. She isn't just a talented photographer she has an understanding of what moments NEED to be captured that you may never know aboutuntil she send you the gallery! Her heart behind what she does is in every photo. I can't recommend her enough!

I have been doing photography/weddings for the last 10 years or so. I am a mama of 2 and a wife myself. I may be a professional, but I am just like You, a person, and I strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible working with me!

K.S. Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was timely, professional, and extremely patient as we navigated the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Katie and her second photographer were a pleasure to have around - they made the entire experience fun and relaxed, while paying close attention to capturing all the special moments exactly as we had envisioned. The final photos are absolutely stunning - warm, inviting, and beautifully composed. We are thrilled with the value and quality of their work, and can't wait to continue enjoying these cherished memories for years to come. Highly recommend K.S. Photography!

Rob Jinks Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Sterling, VA

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.

My husband and I are so happy we chose to work with Rob for our wedding day! From the very start of the process, Rob was personable and asked us many thoughtful questions about our love story, our vision for our wedding day, and why we wanted to invest in wedding photos. Perhaps more so than any other vendor, he took the time to get to know us and understand our values. Our fun engagement session introduced us to Rob's adventurous spirit and authentic approach to taking portraits. We're both a little camera shy but enjoyed the process and genuinely treasure our engagement pictures. On our wedding day, Rob was an oasis of calm and confidence. He even surprised us with a physical preview photo album shortly after the ceremony. He is a consummate professional, kept us on track through the planning process, and asked the best questions. We are so happy we chose Robs Jinks Photography and happily give him our highest recommendation.
