Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

They were always on time and made sure to put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - the photos and videos they captured were beautiful, exciting, and incredibly creative. Hannah and Matt were very intentional in the way they interacted with us and also made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We are thrilled with the final product and would highly recommend Whitt Photography and Film to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team to capture their special day.

Kandid Art Photography 

4.9

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Sterling, VA
  • Offer

I’m Artur full-time wedding photographer behind the Kandid Arts. As a wedding photographer with roots in Europe and a heart in the United States, I bring a unique blend of cultural influences and experiences to my craft. Born and raised in Eastern Europe, I developed a passion for photography that has only grown stronger during my last few years in the United States. For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography, capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day.

Working with Kandid Art was overall a great experience! They showed up on time and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. Though the wedding ran a bit behind, they were flexible. The photos turned out beautiful, and they got creative with the locations given the cold, rainy weather. They even got some funny shots of the kids at the wedding that are some of my favorites! The video was also good, although I don't love that they had to use like stock music for the background (I guess it's because of copyright issues with other songs?). I wish they would have included audio of the vows rather than the cheers of the attendees, so make sure you ask them to do that if you want it! I do love that they provided us with all the raw video footage though, as some of the most special moments didn't make the highlight video. Due to the event running behind, the cost increased a bit (which I was asked about after the wedding) due to the 2 photographers needing to split up to cover the shots. I wish they had asked me or the Wedding Coordinator about that on the day of so we could understand better what was the issue, but it was a minor thing in terms of communication. Overall 8/10 rating and would recommend.

I've had a camera in my hand since I was at least ten years old. Photography has always been something I've been passionate about. I was the friend that captured all the memories in high school. Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

I’ve worked with Kay 3 times now, and she knows I’ll be back to capture even more amazing memories! My absolute favorite thing about working with Kay, I top of her literally becoming your BFF, is that she always finds a way to capture candid moments that just ooze personality and love and all the feels!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Mrs. Sharon. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with her after she was hired but a videographer for our wedding in September 2024. She was kind and passionate.

Lindsay and Greg have been a pleasure to work with so far! My fiance had them there to photograph our proposal and I liked them so much that we booked them for our engagement and wedding sessions as well. We are both slower to open up type of people and Lindsay and Greg have been really easy to talk to. We didn't feel awkward and were comfortable with them. We have some beautiful photos and everyone has complimented their work. I can be anxious, but Lindsay has been really easy to work with. She has a calm presence and I really like how she's set me at ease! Lindsay and Greg targeted their work to match things that we wanted to incorporate. I shared some Pinterest images with Lindsay and she saved them and actually posed us in them during our session! I offhandedly mentioned one of my favorite shots from our proposal during our engagement shoot and they came up with something so cute to do that matched the vibe of that right then and there! I also was honest with Lindsay about poses I didn't like up front and she made sure to pose me in a way that I felt like allowed me to be more confident and comfortable. We can't wait to see what they can do at our wedding!

We understand that wedding planning can be overwhelming, which is why our in-house planning team is here to streamline the process. With clear communication and personalized support, we handle the details so you can focus on enjoying your special day with less stress.

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!

I started working as a photographer because I'm passionate about helping people showcase who they are and what they have to offer. I work to remove myself from the equation and let my clients take the spotlight. It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

We have gotten sooo many compliments on the photos from Michael's photography!!! I can't stop looking at them over and over, and sharing with everyone. We are having a hard time choosing which to frame! We had such a great experience overall. The team took great attention to align our expectations, timeline and vision ahead of the wedding with multiple touch points. The team pre viewed the venue to ensure they were aware of the space. The day of the team came organized and enthusiastic. They had creative ideas for multiple spaces, for couples photos, wedding party, and even a great first look for my dad and I that brough us to tears! We had such a blast at the reception and the photographers were right in the mix having fun to capture every dance move! Before we were even back from our honeymoon the team had edited many photos for us to share! The full final product was delivered by timeline throughout the day and easily order format to share with friends and family! Thanks sooooo much for helping us remember the day perfectly! Sooo great!

She captured not only the two days of our wedding weekend but also our bridal shower and engagement shoot, and we are beyond thrilled with the results.

She took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and her attention to detail ensured that every moment we cared about was perfectly documented. Her professionalism and skill are unmatched. Whether it was the candid emotions of the bridal shower, the intimacy of our engagement shoot, or the grand celebrations of our wedding weekend, Michelle captured it all with a keen eye and an artistic touch. The photos are stunning and timeless, each one telling a story and bringing us right back to those special moments. What truly set Michelle apart was her ability to seamlessly blend into the events while still capturing every important detail. She managed to be everywhere at once without being intrusive, and her calm demeanor was a steadying presence during such a busy time. She was a safe face/person that weekend for sure! We are so grateful to Michelle for not only her work but the friendship we have created with her! She gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about her clients, Michelle is the one!

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

I've known Beth with 3 Cats Photo for years and it was an honor to have her photograph our wedding. She made my wife and I's pinterest board dreams come to life in addition to taking pictures of all the tiny details we didn't even know we wanted until they existed. Beth is organized, kind, and so knowledgeable in addition to having a beautiful eye for the perfect moments and compositions to make every photo a work of art I want to frame on our wall. (Seriously, I've printed so many of our wedding pictures my wife jokes that I have constructed a shrine to our marriage - and she's not wrong, they're just so cute!).

They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it!

We were incredibly fortunate to have Xiao as our wedding photographer, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she was professional, thoughtful, and dedicated, providing us with tremendous support every step of the way. Before the wedding, Xiao took the time to consult with us in detail, discussing everything from the style and color of my dress to the bridesmaids’ outfits. Her exceptional aesthetic sense and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the photos would come together beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Xiao arrived fully prepared with an impressive array of photography equipment. She was patient, encouraging, and meticulous, guiding us through each pose and shot. She also thoughtfully scouted and selected stunning locations, making every photo feel unique and special. The group photos with our bridesmaids and groomsmen were especially fun and creative, with multi-angle shots that captured so much joy and personality. Throughout the ceremony and reception, Xiao worked tirelessly to capture every meaningful moment, leaving us with countless beautiful memories to treasure. After the wedding, her professionalism continued—she promptly created a shared folder so we could review and choose our favorite photos together. Her editing work was both fast and flawless, bringing out the best in every shot. Our entire experience with Xiao was exceptional. She is not only a highly skilled photographer but also someone who brings care, creativity, and passion to her work. Thanks to her, our wedding day has been preserved in the most beautiful and heartfelt way. We are beyond grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly talented and dedicated photographer.

She helped us think through what we wanted our photos to reflect, which made them all the more meaningful to us because they are true to our relationship.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Eugene is not only an exceptional wedding photographer but also a kind human who handled our rainy and crazy day with amazing calm and professionalism. Despite the weather challenges, Eugene remained composed and managed to capture every special moment perfectly. His ability to stay focused and bring out the best in every shot made our day truly memorable. His communication before, during and after the wedding is top notch. We are so grateful for him!

Your wedding day is a whirlwind of family and friends, vows and true love, good food and of course lots of cake! With a wedding photographer, all the beautiful moments can be captured and remembered forever. Pop of Molly Photography focuses on candid photography encapsulating the bride and groom and wedding guests enjoying the moment and being their own beautiful selves. Focusing on candid photography doesn't mean I won't take the time to sit down with you and go over the "must have" shots, list of family members and wedding party, and ensure I have photos of all your Pinterest board "dream wedding" photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Going into our wedding, my husband and I were hesitant about hiring a photographer since we aren't big picture people. However, we're so glad we listened to the advice of our friends and family and chose Pop of Molly Photography & Design. Molly was incredibly professional and really listened to our preferences for more candid, natural shots. She was so unobtrusive during the day that we often forgot she was there, but the photos she captured perfectly reflect the joy and intimacy of our celebration. Molly struck the perfect balance of following our lead and also using her creative eye to freestyle moments we didn't even realize were happening. We're thrilled with the beautiful, authentic photographs that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

My work is inspired by romantic minimalism, modern elegance, and non-traditional perspectives. From stolen glances to joyous celebrations, I strive to capture what is at the heart of your relationship, weaving together a narrative that is uniquely yours. I blend a unique mix of documentary and editorial style photography in my craft: the documentary style to capture the events of your day in close detail, and the editorial style to provide copious amounts of posing guidance so you and your loved ones feel confident that you look like your absolute best in your photos.

After interviewing a few photographers for my proposal, Sravya clearly stood out to me as the best one for the job. She was very responsive, flexible, and kind. Most importantly, I loved her vision and support day of during the shoot. Her artistic eye made the photos turn out beautiful! She also delivered all of the pictures on time. Highly recommend working with Sravya!

Would choose Melanie again and again. I actively recommend her to friends and acquaintances who say they’re engaged. She is super friendly, upbeat and good at her job. She blends in well and there are pictures that I don’t even remember her being there for.

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

Darcy was a pleasure to work with! She was so accommodating and informative throughout the process. I did a lot of our wedding planning at the last minute and I have never had professional photos done so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but Darcy walked me through the wedding day and made sure that we had a clear plan. She was also very patient with all of my last minute changes to the schedule. I originally reached out to Darcy because I loved the style of her photos and I was incredibly pleased when I saw our photos. I would definitely reach out to her for future events/family photos!

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!
