  • Serves Sterling, VA

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!

Maddie was above and beyond anything we could've asked for as our wedding photographer. She has a gift for the craft and handled our huge wedding party like a pro. She pays attention to every little detail to get the best photos and was so skilled in finding the perfect shots throughout the weekend. We loved working with her and would suggest her to any couple across the country as she knows how to scope out any area for the best shots. Her consultation process was great, she gave us a lot of good ideas and considerations to help us make sure we got in as many good family/friend shots as possible so the whole wedding party could have nice photos to remember the weekend by as well as us. She went above and beyond throughout the wedding night, coming back to grab her camera off the clock to get a bunch of candid photos of the dance floor and reception. Thank you Maddie for capturing our special night, we loved working with you.

Lotus Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Sterling, 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!

Lotus Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Georgette showed a true empathy for our vision and provided thoughtful feedback to help us feel confident in our decisions. She was incredibly approachable and adaptable, always available for quick chats, texts, and emails. On our wedding day, Georgette was with us from start to finish, ensuring she captured every guest and all of our most intimate moments as a couple. The final photos are absolutely stunning - professional, artistic, timeless, and so authentically us. It's like reliving our special day every time we look through them, and we can't wait to have our favorites printed to hang up all over the house! If you're looking for a photographer who is full of life, energetic, and so much fun to be around, Lotus Photography is the perfect choice.

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel.

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

This was my first time working with Yalford Photography and I was impressed by the detail of her timeline. We worked together to make sure everything coincided and made any adjustments as needed. On the day of the clients wedding we all worked together as a team to give the couple the best day. The photos are beautiful. Consider Yalford you won't regret it !

Nicole Thomas Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Sterling, VA

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

I recommend Nicole Thomas to be your wedding photographer with utmost enthusiasm. I have heard from a friend that Nicole has many years of experience and this wedding photography experience and is the best of the best, both in terms of the quality of her pictures and her personality. Her work really stood out from other photographers, and “told a story.” Both the amazing quality of her work and her willingness to work with me and my husband on the day of our wedding back in February 2022, made her an easy choice for us to be our wedding photographer. Nicole’s portfolio is unique from the others, and you can witness her dedication and respect for work. I am very grateful for her to capture those memories forever so me and my husband can look back on that day and cherish these moments.

I am a modern-day storyteller, wielding my camera as my pen to capture the tales that unfold before me. With a passion for freezing time in the most exquisite way possible, my photographic journey has been a remarkable one. Through the lens, I unearth the extraordinary within the ordinary, revealing the beauty that often hides in plain sight. From the gentle play of light on a dew-kissed leaf to the raw emotions in a candid portrait, I believe that photography is the art of preserving fleeting moments and emotions.

Wild Elegance

  • Classic style

  • Serves Sterling, VA

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Alex Hines Photography is for the modern-styled couple who takes priority in tangible memories; memories that are timeless and unforgettable. Couples who value human connection and legacy.

Natasha Lamalle Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Sterling, VA

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were searching for a photographer who could capture our wedding as it really was, from the intimate moments to the wild dance floor, and Natasha's documentary-style fit our needs exactly! She listened carefully to what we wanted - minimal posed pictures, non-traditional "first look", lots of candids, etc - and she more than delivered. We had 130 guest count and Natasha covered basically every inch of our wedding day, no need or want for a second shooter. She was everywhere and so stealthy that we didn't realize she was so close to us the whole night until we got our pictures back. Our ceremony was outside and dinner/dancing were inside, and regardless of the lighting, the pictures turned out perfectly, she was even able to capture non-blurry pictures of guests jamming on a packed dance floor! She was a pleasure to work with, the instructions of her process were easy to follow from start to finish, and had a lot of examples to look through which gave us a good idea of what we were getting. We especially appreciated that she sent us a few pictures the morning after our wedding as a sneak peek, very nice touch. She's genuinely kind and calm which helped us remain present during our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed by the quality and we are too. We're thrilled we picked Natasha and highly recommend her!

Hello! I'm Xiaoqi (pronounced "cho-chee"). You're here because you want to connect with an awesome wedding photographer. You don't want just some stranger following you around with a camera, but a friend invested in capturing your story.

Sydney Darwin Photography

  • Serves Sterling, VA

Hey! I'm Sydney, but most people just call me Syd. I am a wedding and Elopement photographer based in KY & Washington, DC, but ready to jet set wherever you need me. I am an avid yogi, podcast lover, and travel enthusiast. I first picked up a camera at the age of 15 and fell in love with the art of photography. I got my start by photographing portraits of my friends and family. I came to realize that my favorite types of images to capture are the intimate and silly moments between two people in love. My photography style is romantic and timeless. I love working with shadows to get that moody effect that I adore.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the pleasure of working with Sydney on several weddings and a large styled photo shoot. Not only is she extremely talented, but down-to-earth, patient, kind, and caring. She understands that documenting a couple's wedding is about them, and does everything in her power to deliver what they want and what she, as an artist, believes is the best product - all the while staying in the shadows and capturing those true, raw, candid moments.
