  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Sterling, VA

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.

Crys was not only steadfast but also incredibly adept at pivoting quickly whenever needed. Her creativity sparked inspiration, and her encouragement bolstered my own creative ideas, ultimately leading to the perfect wedding day. Working with Crys felt like having a guiding light throughout the entire planning process. She was an absolute delight to collaborate with, making every step enjoyable and stress-free. Crys went above and beyond, handling much of the legwork to ensure we obtained everything we needed at a reasonable price, for which I am truly grateful.

Natasha Lamalle Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • 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
If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

Sam Hurd Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Sterling, VA

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.

Luis and Barbara are not only incredibly talented but were a joy to work with. Since we're both deaf, our biggest fear when it came to working with a photographer was how we will manage to communicate. But Luis and Barbara made us feel super comfortable and confident from the very beginning and we had so much fun during our sessions with them. They were consistently communicative, transparent, organized, and informative throughout the whole process. Whenever we saw Luis and Barbara all of the usual wedding stresses just melted away. We truly believe they are magic! And when we got our photos, we couldn't be happier. They were beautiful and we will treasure them forever. We sincerely couldn't have asked for a better photographer team.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

She took our minimal suggestions and created a beautiful design that was exactly what we’d envisioned. The communication throughout the planning process was easy and she made modifications as requested and worked with us around our budget to make sure we still got what we wanted. The florals day of the wedding were so beautiful and exactly as we had discussed early in the planning stages! The team that delivered the bouquets, set up the gorgeous ceremony arch, and table settings were professional, talented, and did everything with a huge smile that made the day even that more special.

Olga Gurton is a Siberia-born photographer who has been working as a Maryland engagement photographer and wedding photographer for well over half a decade. Over that time, she’s developed an amazing ability to help couples lower their guard, allowing her to take some of the rawest, most sincere photographs you’re likely to come across. In addition to the remarkable honesty of her work, we’re rather taken with her careful composition, which uses soft light, clever yet subtle framing, and a focus on simple, elemental emotions.” Peerspace "9 best engagement photographers in Baltimore, MD"

Warm and Beautiful Photos by an Incredible Photographer UPDATE (6/2/21): Olga continues to be incredible and everything we could have ever dreamed of in a wedding photographer. She also took care of finding us a second photographer (Marcus), a videographer (Glenn), and a live stream assistant (Matt) - all of whom were wonderful, professional, kind, and talented. We were able to do first look/couple photos around the Library of Congress and Supreme Court with Olga, Marcus, and Glenn and all three made it a fun and easy-going experience that resulted in truly stunning photos. After the wedding (and the "engagement shoot") Olga sent us a "sneak peak" of the photos within just a few days! We are so grateful we found her and could not recommend her and her team enough!!! ORIGINAL (7/12/20): Olga is AMAZING. We hired her for our wedding several months after we got engaged and were not intending to do an engagement shoot (my fiance does not love pictures haha). But after COVID forced us to postpone our wedding by 11 months, we decided that an engagement-style photo shoot on our would-be wedding date would be a great way to make a sweet memory on a tough date. Olga was sweet, supportive, and flexible as we figured out details for a new date and added the extra photo session. She is down to earth and made both of us feel immediately at ease during the session. She was as excited as we were to get gorgeous photos at the Lincoln and then silly ones at GW (where we both graduated from). I have always believed that engagement/wedding photos should radiate warmth and happiness and Olga has blown us away with her ability to capture our love in photos in a way that can't help but make you smile.

  • Serves Sterling, VA

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

It's undeniable that Lauren is an incredibly talented photographer -- her photos probably already caught your eye hence why you're in this reviews section ;) Aside from the incredible, authentic, editorial, and gorgeous photos Lauren delivered from our wedding, she was also a dream to work with. Lauren is a professional; badass, direct, organized, fun, and most importantly, far from "basic" when it comes to wedding photography. I'm so happy I frantically slid into her DMs years ago when she first started photographing weddings in DC. I will always recommend Lauren and years later, my heart still skips a beat when I fondly look through our wedding photos <3 Thank you, Lauren!!

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

Asa is an absolutely amazing photographer to work with. My husband and I booked him for our wedding back in 2017, and we loved our photos so much that I invited him to be a preferred partner at a new event venue I helped open in 2019. He does wonderful work with lighting in particular. As a bride, he made us feel very natural, and we had a lot of fun with our photo session. I highly recommend him for wedding and family photography!

Imagine a wedding that truly reflects your unique love story and personality. At Howerton+Wooten Events, we are dedicated to making that vision a reality. Our experienced team takes the time to understand your essence and energy as a couple, forming meaningful connections that reveal who you are, how you live, and how you love. With this deep understanding, we design stunning wedding experiences that are vivid, personal reflections of your lifestyle, taste, and journey together. The result is a wedding you will cherish for a lifetime, a beautiful celebration that is unmistakably and uniquely yours.

Words cannot define the worth and joy it was to have Kawania and her team be a part of my wedding day. She was a constant advocate for our needs and budget throughout the process, being realistic at every turn. What I know now is that what you get with Kawania is experience and know-how of the industry. She has planned several weddings and events before and knows how to troubleshoot mishaps that may happen on the wedding day in real time. She understands that the day of the event is a special moment for everyone involved and she knows not to bring stress to the wedding party and to allow them to live in the moment. At subsequent weddings, I have felt that my friends needed this approach with their planners on their wedding day/weekend. I, being their guest or in their bridal party felt the disorganization that their planners or self-planning brought. This was not the case with Kawania. We had glowing comments about our wedding day for even a year after and how it was not just a ceremony but a day of entertainment. She is an excellent communicator. We had regular meetings throughout the year, about once a week. I have seen my friends have wedding planners who do not get back to them for several days after they have a question about their wedding. Kawania brought my vendors to me instead of me having to look for vendors on my own and when one did not work she always had another one that could take the place. She set up meetings with me and my vendors one-on-one and reviewed all of our vendor contracts to make sure that we were getting a fair contract and that expectations for the vendor and for us were both reasonable and what we were looking for. Being a very busy working professional I appreciated that Kawania went above and beyond to make sure that I stayed on the schedule and was extremely patient when there were moments when I could not. I value how she brought my vision to life and had such great attention to small details that my day was exceptional. I have seen my guests feature elements of my wedding at their subsequent events and it speaks to how she was able to set the bar high for what a classy and unique event should be. Far beyond a wedding planner, she has become someone that I keep in contact with after the wedding. She even checked in on me when there was a major catastrophic event that took place in the area where I lived months after the wedding. There were even moments when I became uncertain or stressed and focused on the wrong thing when it came to my wedding. Kawania, quite like a mother figure helped me realize what my focus should be and to ignore all other distractions so that when I walked down the aisle, I was in full confidence of how the day was going to be and did not feel a single ounce of stress on my wedding day. I could not be more thrilled to work with Kawania again. Although I do not see myself getting remarried I would certainly work with her for any big event I needed in the future. She has such a positive energy and global about her and brings a light to every interaction even difficult ones that makes her pleasant, respectable, dependable, and all around the absolute reason why my big day went off such success. I cannot state how tirelessly she and her team worked so when I did meet them in person but felt like I was meeting friends who knew exactly what I wanted. You will not regret working with Kawania and Howerton Wooten events!

From the bouquets to the centerpieces and installations, Hailey’s use of bold color and stunning shapes in her designs was so modern and on-trend! It’s hard to find florists that will venture outside of the traditional “broccoli” bouquet shape and do it well at that, but Hailey delivers. I will definitely be recommending her to my own clients!

The customer service was also top-notch; she was responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about ensuring we were happy with the final product. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be recommending Paula to everyone we know. If you’re looking for a photographer who can turn your memories into art, look no further!

Creative, modern photographers based out of Philadelphia. Drew and Angela are fun, relaxed and experienced. You can trust us to capture all the fun and emotional moments as well as epic portraits with ease.

Angela and Drew are the BOMB! They are husband and wife, and clearly gaga for each other, which is very very cute. They have tons of experience, so they deliver consistently amazing images. They are extremely professional, and respond quickly. And no two photos look just like any other photos. Their creativity and eye for moments will pay off years down the road when you look back at your wedding photos and smile at how each moment can transport you back to the feeling at that exact time on the day, and then you have all this gorgeous artistic and creative stuff to relish in for decades! Can’t go wrong with picking them. For real!

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.

Filmmaking has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Cinema. However, it wasn't until I started filming weddings that I really fell in love with filmmaking. Being able to film couples at such a pivotal moment in their lives that is often filled with immense love is so fulfilling, gratifying and such an honor to be a part of.

Kristan is very passionate about her work in the videography buisness! Her communication and work ethic is by far the best. She worked great with our photographer and was very involved in each part of the day! She is unbelievably talented in catching the perfect moments and then putting them all together for the video. The video of my wedding day will always be special to me as I look back and remember the toasts, dances, ceremony, pictures, and so much more. Without a talented videographer like Kristan, I wouldn’t have these special memories saved to look back on. If you book Kristan Wilkins Films, you will not regret it!

Based in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina, I'm fueled by the thrill of storytelling. I’ve been developing my video production skills since I was 12 years old. From capturing moments alongside Michigan State's athletic teams to serving proudly in the United States Marine Corps, every experience has shaped my cinematic journey. Now, I'm ready to craft captivating narratives for you, wherever your love story unfolds. I want nothing more but to share your love story and to make you smile, laugh, and cry while watching your story on the screen. I am always willing to travel!

Absolutely amazing! I heard of Shane through a coworker. He did not disappoint! My proposal was supposed to be on a Saturday and had a last second change of plans and decided Friday evening would work better. I gave Shane a call literally 2 hours before it happened! Him and his wife were more than happy to accommodate! They were the easiest individuals to work with and made my proposal the best night ever! They made the setup work with the little amount of supplies we had due to last second changes on the beach in the dark! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 5 STARS!

I have a love for all things wild and natural, scented blossoms, mossy twigs, and starry nights. Flowers simply make my heart sing. I believe the magic of growing and gathering was planted in me years ago as a young girl, working alongside my mother picking wildflowers and lily of the valley. How I create is deeply rooted in who I am; a floral designer, grower, and potter. I feel my art background has been a really strong foundation for floral design as textures, color, and design are all intertwined with both arts.

We love working with Mary Ann w/ Barnswallow Blooms at Mount Ida Farm. They are on our preferred vendors list. They create beautiful floral arrangements & are always a pleasure to work with.
