I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My partner and I hired Sean for our engagement photos and we were extremely impressed! He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill. He also made sure the job was well done and he got all the photos that we could have wanted. We had a blast working with him! The photos are stunning and I genuinely can’t stop looking at them! My partner and I tend to feel awkward getting our picture taken but Sean created such a comfortable space for us. We would highly recommend booking Sean.

I'm a wedding and dog photographer based in the Northern Virginia/DC area with a focus on capturing fun, candid, colorful photos of the people and pups you love! I'm always willing to travel, especially back to my home state of New York.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't think there are enough positive things that I can say about Megan. My husband and I do not consider ourselves to be "photogenic" at all. However, Megan made the photography process truly enjoyable. From our engagement pictures to our wedding pictures, she made the entire process hassle and pain free. Megan truly listened to what we wanted and was also there to offer suggestions and input of her own, which we truly appreciated. She is extremely responsive, helpful, and organized. Due to COVID, we were constantly shifting our wedding plans and Megan was there every step of the way. Although the day itself was very different than we could have every imagined, Megan captured it beautifully. We love the brightness, colors, and natural beauty that Megan emphasizes in her photography; I truly feel that I am "there again" when I look at what she captured. To summarize, we are extremely pleased in our decision to use Megan Rei Photography. Her prices were competitive and her service is top notch and professional. If you are looking to capture life long memories with an emphasis on color, brightness, and natural beauty, (and have a blast while doing it) look no further! Megan is your gal!

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 27-year-old wedding photographer living between DC and San Francisco! 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.

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. .

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!!!

Hi there, I’m Nathan—a wedding photographer who’s been telling love stories since 2012. Photography has been my passion since my grandparents gifted me a film camera as a teenager. That passion has led me to hike glaciers, explore ice caves, scuba dive with sharks, and brave Arctic temperatures to capture star-filled skies. That same adventurous energy and dedication come with me to your wedding day. My style is simple: I focus on capturing your day as it unfolds naturally, ensuring each image feels authentic and true to your unique story. Let’s create something unforgettable together!

Awarded Best of Zola
I would give 10 stars if that were possible! Nathan is incredible! From when we first reached out to even now, a month after our wedding. He is so friendly and warm, it is easy to feel comfortable around him. Feeling comfortable is so important since most of us aren't used to people taking so many pictures of us. He was helpful in picking a place to do our engagement photos and was great about getting us to pose or do goofy things that resulted in the most beautiful photos that I could truly feel how we felt in the moment when looking at the photos. On the day of our wedding, he was even more amazing, we were an hour behind schedule (my fault) and he kept his cool which in turn helped me to also remain calm. He was great at pivoting at a moment's notice when I changed the location of first look photos in order to save time. He was great at offering ways we could still get those photos in that location if we wanted to take the time to do it. He went above and beyond getting candid shots I asked for. The amazing thing is that my photos from my wedding truly feel like a portal back into the day, I look at the pictures and all the emotions of joy and love come flooding back. He is a true artist. The best part was we got a bunch of preview photos the day after our wedding!! Unheard of! And then he had the full gallery of photos only 3 weeks later, also unheard of! He does a great job capturing and editing photos. He also time and time again went above and beyond like an additional engagement session when we missed some shots we had wanted to get or an additional session in our wedding attire to capture additional portraits. He also asked if there were photos that we thought were missing from the gallery and went back through the thousands of photos to find ones we were asking about. I cannot recommend Nathan enough, our day would not have been the same without him, and it never would have been captured in such a perfect way.

Rob Jinks Photography

  • 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.

We are so happy we booked Rob Jinks as our photographer! You can tell he truly cares about his clients and puts so much thought and effort into his work. Our family and friends loved him too - he made sure everyone felt included and seen. The pictures are incredible and he made the whole process very easy. We highly recommend Rob Jinks!!

My husband and I couldn't have possibly asked for a better photographer for our wedding and engagement photos than Sarah! We had so much fun during our engagement shoot in 2023, and we knew then that we'd found the perfect photographer for our big day. She made us feel so comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. Our timeline didn't go according to plan on wedding day, and Sarah was so accommodating and flexible. She helped me to stay calm, which is hard to do as the bride on your wedding day! She sent us some sneak peak pictures and they are seriously magazine worthy; we are obsessed! Utilizing Sarah's photography services for your wedding will be the best decision you make. 10/10 recommend!

Kelsey Cuervo photography began out of a love of art and a proclivity to create, and evolved into a passion for capturing genuine connection in an artful way. I approach my clients with a desire to capture their genuine connection using their love story as my source of inspiration.

There is nobody we would have rather had with us throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Judging from her other work, we knew that we would be getting a stunning final product, but what you can't see in her pictures online is how friendly she is, how comfortable she makes you feel behind the camera (I was particularly nervous our first go around for the engagement shoot), and how well she directs and manages people to create her magic. Now for the product! My wife and I sat down together when Kelsey sent us the final photos and it genuinely took us back to our wedding day. She captured both the emotion and the beauty of it all so well, and we now have these pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. We feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and friend.

Awarded Best of Zola
Beginning the wedding planning process is daunting in itself, but the anxiety of finding the person that shares your vision for your photos (basically your concrete memories) can be so challenging. Not only do you want someone that can capture the candid beautiful moments of your big day, but also someone that makes you feel comfortable enough to celebrate and enjoy it. We never wanted staged or posed seeming photos for our wedding, just captured moments of real life and the joy of real people celebrating with us. Becky delivered. She was kind, patient, guiding, supportive, and (my favorite part) celebrated in our joy that day. She was so easy to work with, it honestly felt like a friend taking care of us. We would recommend Becky to anyone—she has a versatile portfolio and is always looking to better herself and connect with others. If you want your wedding day captured in photos that genuinely show you—Becky is the one!

Stephanie Leigh Photography & Design is boutique photography studio based in lovely Loudoun County Virginia. Focusing on photography & videography services specializing in weddings, micro weddings, elopements & engagements.

Stephanie was probably our favorite person to work with for our wedding. She is fun, personable, confident and an amazing photographer. We found her through Visit Loudoun, a group that helps connect vendors to engaged couples. Upon our first meeting with her, she was a clear contender, and we couldn't be happier to have chosen to work with her! We actually found out shortly before our first meeting that my now-husband's sister had also booked Stephanie for HER wedding 6 months before ours. We made it clear from the beginning of our conversations that we were two very different couples and wanted to make sure that our pictures would not look the same/similar in comparison to one another. Stephanie understood this fully and was not put off by this at all. We were excited to book the videographer package with her and even were able to add in an extra hour last minute when our timeline was finalized and we wanted to make sure she got pictures of all the fun things we had planned! Stephanie got our pictures and videos to us very quickly and was very easy to work with and quick on edits of photos that we requested as well. I keep referring to the pictures of our wedding party as our magazine spread. The colors look amazing and every photo is just so BEAUTIFUL!

Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too).

She creates a space where couples feel like themselves, guests feel celebrated, and, honestly, where I can just breathe because I know everything is being captured perfectly. It’s rare to find someone who blends professionalism with genuine warmth and creativity, but Chayil does it every single time. She’s more than a vendor to me. She’s a partner in making magic and bringing dreams to life. If you’re looking for someone who will turn your wedding memories into art, look no further.

We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

Her professionalism is well above par and her clam nature put me at ease, when I was nervous about being in front of the camera. She is extremely responsive and flexible and I even had a couple of “teaser” photos in my e-mail the very next day. I couldn’t be happier.

I am a full service wedding photographer. My approach to wedding photography focuses on the emotion of the event. That is what fascinates and moves me, that is what draws me to photography. I always do an engagement shoot with my couples, I think it is important to get to know each other before the wedding day, and it helps me to understand you as a couple. I like to get together at least once to just talk as well, the better you know me, the easier it will be for you to relax and focus on your wedding when I am looking at you the whole time.

The way he sees light through his camera and captures a once in a lifetime special moment lives forever in the images produced. We are forever greatful in the moment we shared that now has become a lifetime and generation of memories. From the bride: the pictures captured told the story of what took place on preparation before I walked down the aisle. We are a happy couple who are so blessed to do business with Paul. Paul is blessed with a special gift and makes you feel very comfortable. He builds a relationship with his clients. Paul gave us a scenario. We did our thing and he did his. During COVID he is understanding and flexible. We wish him nothing but the best!

Not to mention Shenandoah National Park and Coalton, WV.

Caty-Scarlett (and her second shooter, Sean) were an ABSOLUTE JOY to work with for our Shenandoah wedding! She jumped right into our vision and took the time to actually get to know us as a couple and the style we were looking for (documentary-esque/non-staged/natural). Clear, honest communication and incredibly helpful throughout the process on a very compressed timeline. She captured our family and friends emotions so beautifully over the course of our long weekend celebration and truly created pictures that we constantly reference. Attentive to the details, flexible and didn't pressure us, even took the time to remember our immediate family's names for group shots. Outstanding human being, we can't wait for our next adventure shoot!

Kara has been an amazing photographer to work with! Her style of bright photos truly captured the joy we felt all day during our wedding. Our engagement session with her made us feel comfortable and confident in how to pose, making the wedding day even smoother. Seeing even just the sneak peeks of the photos she captured made us realize she was able to photograph so many beautiful moments, even when we didn't know she was there! We absolutely love them and are so grateful that she was also able to capture the beauty and solemntiy of our wedding Mass in the most perfect ways.
