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
Hiring Alexis was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding. Alexis is professional, and her photography is stunning, but just as importantly, she is a kind and generous person. She has a remarkable ability to put anyone she's working with at ease (including children and family members who shy away from cameras!). She has a calming, steady presence while also having a remarkable ability to keep people on track when necessary. Starting with our engagement session (and continuing with family sessions), we've always been impressed with how well she is able to capture really fun candid photos as well as beautiful portraits and more traditional shots. We 100% recommend Alexis!

Sarah Houston Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Sterling, VA

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!

Like some it started with a little camera originally to capture our children as they went on field trips, vacations, and other documentations of life. I quickly began venturing into photographing other families and children. A very good friend of mine invited me to shoot her wedding. This was something I haven't quite thought about doing but was super excited for the Opportunity since I was exploring my different options at the time. When I tell you I fell in love! I really did! I mean that would be such an understatement!! I knew at that point that becoming a Wedding Photographer was what I'd be.

I loved my experience working with Elle and her team. They made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. The final product came out beautiful and I’m so glad we have these beautiful photos to help us remember such a big day in our lives. I appreciate all that they did for us and for being so patient, kind and timely.

Beck and Call Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Sterling, VA

Photography is a calling, it's one of those things that found me, not something I went looking for. In fact I would say it chased me down and dragged me into it. I absolutely couldn't be more happy about it though. It's like happy finds you every time you go to work... how can that be possible? I fell in love with documenting the homeless population in Denver Colorado, and after CBS discovered me drifted from stringing for the Denver Post to photographing the base at Quantico. Pretty soon my mom decided I was just in too much danger, and she arranged the marriage between me and weddings. I've been in love ever since.

We would definitely recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She provided exceptional service and made us feel comfortable. Definitely had a large selection to chose from on our special day.

Hi guys! I'm Sarah. I'm a fine art wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the DC area. My specialty is documenting your day in an authentic, beautiful and timeless style. I'm driven and inspired by light, nature and connection.

We were lucky enough to stumble upon Nova Soul when we were looking to do our engagement photos. Sarah was absolutely amazing and gave us the engagement photos of our dreams. When we unexpectedly had to cancel our destination wedding, because of the pandemic, Sarah was my first email. We were thrilled she was available to photograph our elopement ceremony. We had high expectations, because we already knew how amazing she was, but she absolutely blew it out of the water. She was able to capture the emotions, love, and all the beauty of our small intimate ceremony with our immediate families. Not only are the photos gorgeous, but Sarah herself is so kind, and easy to work with. I had never had professional photos done, she made me laugh and feel so comfortable. I don’t think I can properly explain how highly I recommend her!

Best Wedding Photographer EVER! I can't put into words how wonderful Jenna is and how much my husband and I loved having her photograph our wedding! Photography was very important to us and the images Jenna captured on our wedding day are nothing short of a dream! We knew shortly after meeting with her that we were a great personality match and she's someone we'd enjoy spending our wedding day with. Leading up to our wedding, Jenna was very supportive and willing to meet with us to discuss details. We had already had engagement photos done by the time we met with Jenna, so we met her in person for the first time on our big day but it felt like we already knew each other. She was so flexible and positive throughout the day (which did include some surprise rain showers, putting us a bit on edge). She really listened to us and understood what we were looking for and was just so fun to have around on our wedding day- all our family and friends loved her. Jenna continued to communicate regularly from our wedding up until our gallery was ready. She provided some sneak peeks quickly, and was even willing to edit and send a few specific photos in the timeframe while she was editing. We could not love our gallery more - especially the film photos! Highly recommend Jenna for wedding photography - she's awesome and you will have nothing to worry about on your big day!

Hi I'm Maddy! I’m a Virginia native whose love of her camera took her on an adventure into entrepreneurship. I accidentally stumbled into wedding photography thanks to some family friends, and ended up leaving my career as a consultant to pursue my passion. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a perfectionist and a little bit Type A, but take pride in how that makes me into a great wedding photographer. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love the energy of a wedding day that keeps me on my toes. My attention to detail allows me to go above and beyond when it comes to helping you prepare and capturing your wedding day.

We absolutely loved working with Maddy! She was professional, talented, and made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoots. She truly nailed the sweet romance we were trying to achieve through our pictures. Our package also included an engagement session and the photos came out beautiful! We had an incredible selection to choose for our save the date and website photos. Maddy’s system is also so easy to use. She uploads all photos online and gives you the option to download into a Google Photos album so it makes sharing with friends and family incredibly simple. In the days leading up to our wedding, Maddy was organized and helpful, even prepared for the rainfall predicted for our wedding! The day turned out gorgeous and so did our pictures. We are so happy we chose Maddy to capture our big day and I know you will too!

I am a Wedding, Portrait, and Event Photographer. I’m based out of Northern Virginia, but I enjoy traveling to Virginia Beach and other destinations. I’m a Mermaid at heart, so naturally, my favorite place to be is by the sea. I am married to my best friend, Michael, and we have 2 pups named Lily Mae & Sir Chance. I have the biggest heart for the ocean and all of its living things! My favorite aquatic animals are sharks! I would love to add that I am a Shark Photographer on top of being a Wedding & Portrait photographer. I am the Founder of The Mermaid Series Blog.

Sitting here obsessing over all of the photos that Kristin has taken throughout my wedding journey! I don't know where to start because she is just absolutely wonderful! She offered an amazing wedding package so she did our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, rehearsal, and our wedding day! My husband and I are not fond of getting our picture taken, but Kristin made us feel so relaxed and comfortable and walked us through every step and pose! We have been amazed by everything she has done that even our sneak peeks gallery from the wedding day is blowing our minds! We're like, wait, there's more?! YES! We can't wait! Kristin's husband even brought his drone and got some amazing aerial shots after our ceremony, then during the reception, Kristin was on the dance floor getting every shot possible! I am so excited to see the final results! Highly recommend!

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Awarded Best of Zola
Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Awarded Best of Zola
Mel is truly a one-of-a-kind photographer. I’m an over planning, anxious person and bride. My photos were my top priority of my wedding day and it was extremely important to me that they were what I wanted. I had searched for what seemed like forever and stumbled across Farfalla and immediately knew it was the style I had been searching for. The contrast makes the photos intimate without comprising them and being too dark. And there is no give in color, it’s beautifully there. I call it intimately colorful, which is what my day is all about. I knew our engagement photos would be good but they surpassed anything I imagined. They were STUNNING. My fiancé is not a picture person but we both felt so comfortable within 10 minutes of the shoot. We laughed, joked, and had fun the whole time, photographer included! She just has the most fun personality that would be needed on your wedding day and from day 1 with all my questions, Mel responded within a timely manner and eased all my worries. Up to this point, I’ve texted her several times regarding the photos or canvas I’ve ordered and she’s always just so sweet and excited! It always makes you feel special by the end of a conversation. All I have to say is, you get what you pay for. Quality wedding pictures are an investment, but it’s a lifetime investment. And you want to make sure you’re investing in the right person. Mel is that person, and you will have no regrets.

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!

I don’t even know where to start. Audra was amazing, I don’t know how but we had crazy weather for both our engagement shoot (Canadian wild fires making it the smokiest day of a decade) and our wedding (hottest day of a decade at 100 degrees feels like 110). But Audra could not have been more amazing, she was so flexible and handled all the weather hurdles like such a pro. She was able to take all the photos we wanted and make us feel so comfortable while doing so. She captures such beautiful moments and was so patient when people were late or grumpy about the heat. She then handed us some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen and made me feel so gorgeous and that I was back in the moment with my husband. I seriously love every photo so much I think she has such a gorgeous style that can take a simple moment and turn it into a work of art. I cannot recommend her enough.

Each event, at it’s root, is a story. It’s a unique story of that moment in time- a newborn coming home, a bride and groom embracing or a grandmother on her 85th birthday - and it's an important moment to hold still. My role as a photographer is to tell that story as honestly as I can. I want people to look back on these memories and remember it exactly as they experienced it. That’s why I aim for transparency in my photography that neither adds nor takes away from the moments that I am documenting.

Awarded Best of Zola
Meredith was an absolute joy to work with! Her warm, fun energy instantly put us at ease, allowing us to feel comfortable and be ourselves, which truly shines through in our photos. She has an incredible eye for not only capturing the background, lighting, and surroundings perfectly but also bringing out the unique personality of everyone she photographs. We did our engagement photoshoot in NYC, which captured a cool, chic city love story, and our wedding day photoshoot at a vineyard in Charlottesville, VA, on a beautiful summer day. The vineyard setting was so dreamy, and Meredith effortlessly captured the natural beauty of the day, making every moment look timeless and elegant. When you look at her pictures, it feels like you’re reliving those moments. Her shots are full of life—not stiff or posed—but vibrant and authentic, capturing the true essence of each moment. Meredith was also incredibly kind and easy to work with, offering thoughtful advice both before and during the shoot. This was our first time having professional photos taken, but thanks to her, we felt relaxed from the start. Her work is a perfect mix of classy, modern, and elegant, with a splash of fun and a seize-the-day vibe. We’re already excited to work with her again—hopefully for our next photoshoot, when we have a baby! Cannot recommend her enough - just do it, book her!!!

The captivating art of photography has always fascinated me, and its ability to transcend language barriers and unite people on a deeper level is truly remarkable. Photography is my way of telling unique stories of love and connection. When it comes to wedding photography, I am constantly drawn to capturing the true essence of every moment and making it tangible. I infuse every image with a touch of fashion and my distinct perspective, crafting a timeless and exquisite collection that will allow you to relive those precious moments for years to come.

Hamid went above and beyond to capture all the fun emotions of our day. He is so thoughtful. Going into our couples shoot both of us were nervous but you made it fun! We have received many lovely comments from friends and family about our photographs and feel very lucky to have these memories to look back on.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Can't recommend Sam enough. Not only is his work some of the best I've seen and is well known around the world, but he is also just super chill to work with. He lets videographers do their thing and is very easy going with the couples and vendors he works with.

I'm Sarandon (pronounced SU-RAN-DIN). I'm an artist and photographer in Baltimore, Maryland where I live with my husband, our daughter, and our Australian Shepherd pup. I have an affinity for houseplants, terrible movies, good whiskey, and dinner parties. On days off I like hunting for my next favorite bakery, perusing a museum, or gathering friends for dinner and cocktails.

Sarandon is a talented, professional, and easy to work with. Personally, as someone who hates getting their photos taken, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in front of the camera that Sarandon was working with. She made both my husband and I feel at ease, comfortable in front of the camera, and stress free on our big day. The photographs came out beautifully and on time. I would highly recommend Sarandon for your next wedding. :)

A Washington DC area (Maryland, Virginia) and destination wedding and lifestyle photographer. My approach to photography is extremely artistic, photojournalistic and arguably cinematic. With every shot I take I’m constantly thinking of new ways to creatively tell your story using unconventional techniques and unique angles, while creating that captivating feeling of presence when viewing your photos. My goal is to preserve your special moments by creating romantic, yet visually striking imagery to be enjoyed for years to come.

As a portrait photographer I had been following Kanayo’s work because it’s artistic, unique and different. I teased that I would get married again just to have him photograph it. Well he said do a vow renewal and sure enough that’s what we did. There was no question or shopping around for us, Kanayo would be our photographer. We made the right decision! His images are just amazing, and eveytime we look at them it’s like we are living in that exact space and time. He captured so much that tells our story, expressing the emotions, the joy and the love on that day. He goes above and beyond to get the shot, yet he is not intrusive. He is kind and very patient yet in control. He is a master photographer! I highly recommend Kanayo for your photographs. We were not disappointed and you won’t be either.

There's a feeling you get when someone you love smiles, when they laugh, when they take your hand in theirs. Those feelings are what I seek to capture. I combine the physical beauty of a moment with candid emotions to create heart-warming images that bring you back into the moment all over again.

Audrey went above and beyond as our wedding photographer. She is thoughtful, creative, professional, and most of all ensured that our wedding vision came to life. She does an excellent job capturing people truly being themselves, and I'm so grateful to have photos of my husband and I, and our loved ones captured in our most authentic form. Her style of photography is timeless and beautiful and she was an absolute pleasure to work with and get to know. I cannot say enough good things about Audrey, she is most definitely someone you want on your team on your most important day!!

Ali shot our wedding reception photography and did amazing! The photos came out beautiful but the best part was Ali himself. He was so funny, personable, and friendly. My husband loved talking to Ali and had such a great time. He also gave amazing, clear directions for photos. Our whole family loved them. Ali felt more like a family friend rather than a stranger.

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

We absolutely loved working with Hannah (and Anthony, her partner, as second shooter)! Hannah was so on top of all things planning-wise and even helped me to figure out non-photography-related wedding things. She's so friendly and personable, it's amazing how she can really dial in on what you want and need. On the day of our wedding, Hannah was such a calming presence, working with our day-of planner to make sure things went off without a hitch and all the photos we wanted captured were shot. Seriously, cannot recommend Hannah enough!
