Washington, DC
  • Photojournalistic style

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great time working with Cesario on our engagement and wedding photos! We picked him because we thought his style matched our vibe (fun and casual), and it was a good choice. We are really pleased with how the photos came out!

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

Working with Sharon was such a pleasure for both of our events, and she had our photos ready in a matter of days. The photos were such high quality, and you can tell she really loves and cares about what she does. She brought along two separate second shooters (one to each event), who were also extremely professional and talented. I cannot say enough great things about our experience!!

Jon took surprise proposal pictures for my now fiancé and I and we could not be happier with the photos! Jon is extremely service oriented and quick to respond which I really appreciated as it took a lot of the stress out of the planning process. The photos were absolutely gorgeous and he will also help you to plan your special day out/help with ideas to get the perfect scenic background. He even picked up flowers for my fiancé the night before so that he could bring them to the proposal for me without ruining the surprise! I can’t recommend Jon enough!

Natasha Lamalle Photography

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Photojournalistic style

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!

They are incredibly professional, and make an effort to really get to know their couples in order to really capture their story on their wedding day. I recommend them to all the couples I meet.

Hi - I'm Danielle. A wife. A mom to three wonderful children. A wedding photographer. I've been shooting weddings since 2010. 300++ weddings and counting. I love working with natural light, real moments, and images with energy and emotion. I would love the privilege of hearing your love story. If you'd like to inquire, please email or call to set up an interview.!

We booked Danielle for our engagement session and April 2024 wedding. Me and my husband aren't confident in front of the camera and at our engagement session, Danielle made us feel so comfortable. At that moment, we knew we made the right choice for our wedding day! Danielle was an integral part of our planning process - happily scheduling calls as needed to help us develop our timeline, narrow down locations for photos, and even providing us with a detailed timeline and checklists of things to bring for photos. On our wedding day, Danielle ensured that we remained on schedule with our timeline, capturing all the photos that we wanted and needed in a short timeframe. She made an effort to learn the names of our wedding party and family and provided everyone with guidance and feedback in a fun and engaging manner to make sure every photo turned out great! We recently got our sneak peeks back and were so thrilled with how they turned out. We're looking forward to seeing our full gallery soon! Danielle also provided a second shooter at no additional cost to us and he was absolutely fantastic as well! Chris handled getting ready photos of my husband and his groomsmen, making sure they stuck to the timeline, and getting them to where they needed to be - the hardest job of all. He was great to work with and captured beautiful images from different perspectives and angles that we wouldn't have gotten with just one photographer.

Photography, for me, is all about people. And I LOVE people. As a documentary photographer, I pay attention to the connections among people at events and make images that show the emotion, the connection, and the meaning of the moments I capture. But more than just loving photography, I've photographed hundreds of weddings over the years I've been in business and am constantly told by my clients how helpful, knowledgeable, and calming I am in moments that are new to my clients. And with a Masters in Photojournalism, I'm not new to this.

Chris is the consummate professional, he is so very talented on multiple levels, you absolutely can't go wrong, working with him. Call him today!

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. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

Paola Nazati Photography
Washington, DC
  • Photojournalistic style

My interest in photography began at age 16 when my brother brought home a used Canon A1 from a pawn shop. My persistent attraction to the art of photography led me to the Savannah College of Art and Design where I received a BFA in Photography. I then ventured to Asheville, NC where I was surrounded by a creative community of artists and found a niche preserving timeless images of love-classics. Fast forward many years later, I now live in Washington D.C. which serves as my home base for my continuing adventures.

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Nina was absolutely amazing and one of the best parts of our wedding day. She was recommended to us by our friends who worked with her for their wedding. From start to finish, every part of working with her was wonderful - from the initial photo call, to scheduling our engagement shoot, to planning the day-of, and then the wedding day itself. Our pictures are absolutely stunning, and we continue to get compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful the pictures are. We cannot recommend her enough!

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!

My goal is to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

My mission is to provide you with an unforgettable experience in front of the camera, as well as photographs that you'll treasure for a lifetime. I hope that the photographs I capture for you serve as a reminder of the love that lives within you and your loved ones.

Mariandree was a real gem to work with! We had originally planned our ceremony and small reception for Dec. 2020, but because of COVID had to make some changes. We kept our outside (super cold) ceremony for that December and Mariandree was more than willing to accommodate, given the circumstances. She was a real trooper out there with us on the freezing Waterfront, and we got some amazing photos back within a week! Mariandree was more than gracious to allow us to reschedule the second half of our photoshoot for September 2021 where we finally got to enjoy a small backyard reception. She brought her sister along as a second photographer for the first round, and her mom for the second. It made it really fun and relaxing because she got along so well with my own mom. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mdree Photography for your wedding! She is organized and makes sure to deliver. She has a really fun, youthful, and thoughtful personality, so expect to really enjoy having her capture your special moments.

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 highly, highly recommend Georgette with Lotus Photography. She is the sweetest, most joyful, gifted photographer and as an event planner and day-of wedding coordinator I genuinely love working with her. She is sweet, bubbly, kind, and incredibly talented. 11/10 recommend!!

Photos from the Harty is a small but mighty team of wedding, event, & lifestyle photographers. We've photographed - and attended - tons of events, weddings, etc. We've learned a lot. One of the things that has really stuck with us is this: not only do you need to love your photos, but you also need to love the photographer. You'll be spending the majority of your day with this person.

Looking for a sign that you’ve found the right photographer and your search is over? Look no further than Photos from the Harty! Our search turned up countless potential photographers, but our interview with Photos from the Harty sealed the deal. They are so personable and fun that we knew they would fit right in at our wedding - and they did! They were with us during every moment from intimate to silly and they made us feel super comfortable as if we were being photographed by longtime friends. The best part? The love and happiness that we felt during our wedding day is felt in every single photo. They captured our wedding day so perfectly that when it came time to hire a photographer for maternity photos and family photo shoots - there was no question who we wanted (and those photos all turned out perfectly, too)!! They have our highest recommendation. Stop looking and hire them, now!

I am so Happy you are here! My name is Alice and I am a portrait and wedding photographer based in Northern Virginia - Maryland - Washington D.C. areas. To me, it has been a privilege to be able to connect with everyone that I had a chance to photograph.

Hiring Alice as our wedding photographer was one of our best planning decisions we made! From our first call with her we knew she fit our personalities so well and would capture the emotions and colors of a traditional Indian wedding better than anyone else could. She was by my side every step of the way on the wedding day and truly made the day brighter with her smile and capturing my quirky personality! I cannot wait to work with her again.

I have also photographed many different subjects, scenes, and moments! There's a picture around every corner.

Steve photographed our wedding, which was pretty small by most standards. He arrived on time, prepared, and he was very easy to work with both before and during the event. His photographs turned out great, and we can definitely say he gave us a good value for what we paid. We would gladly recommend him to any of our friends for their photography work.

Megan Rei was the perfect photographer who made our engagement proposal so special. From beginning to end, Megan was a joy to work with. I contacted Megan through her website, and we had a great phone call that week to start planning. Megan was very flexible with the plans I had in mind, and she had really, really helpful tips about location, timing, and logistics for my surprise proposal. Megan was super responsive over email, was great about my changing dates in the month prior to the event, and we had a great call to finalize last details a few days before the event. On the day of, Megan's approach could not have been better. She arrived well in advance and had a great hiding place during the surprise proposal! During my fiance's and my proposals to each other, Megan took beautiful photos of us without us even knowing she was there, letting us truly enjoy the moment. At the same time she had really great ideas, after the proposals were over, about how to pose and create gorgeous shots. Megan's photos were crisp, beautifully framed, full of color, and had a variety of wide and close-up shots which we really appreciated. We even received a few photos from Megan the day after, which we loved! We received all the photos just a couple weeks later and we could not be happier. Megan is a truly talented photographer, super responsive, has great ideas to make any shoot a success, and her pricing is reasonable and transparent. We are already looking forward to doing a dog photoshoot with Megan next and hopefully working together on our wedding! We would recommend Megan to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a great person to work with.

Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin was recommended to me by two of my friends who also used him for their weddings. He was by far the easiest, most cheerful, professional, and knowledgeable vender we worked with at our wedding. Justin was so easy to get ahold of at anytime about any question. Included in his fee is a site visit to scope out pictures/angles which I found incredibly helpful. I felt really comfortable asking him questions and troubleshooting possible weather issues/locations etc. Justin went with us to multiple locations on the same day at no extra charge which I thought was very generous. His prices are fair and he is very generous with what you get. Also, his attitude/vibe is so upbeat and positive he was a pleasure to work with. And of course, the photos he took were absolutely incredible! He was able to capture very intimate moments without being intrusive and I feel like he documented our wedding day so accurately, beautifully, and perfectly. I don't know how he is able to be everywhere at once! The variety of joy and emotion he captured from our friends, family, and us was out of this world. I am so so happy with my photos and I cannot recommend Justin enough for your wedding. My family was also incredibly impressed with his attitude and skill and kept asking me where I found him, commenting that I hit the jackpot! 11/10.

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah Brookhart. From the day I started following her a few years ago, I knew I wanted to work with her, and the first time we talked, I knew I was right all those years ago! Sarah is the definition of expert. From the way she makes you feel like you can tackle the wedding planning process to feeling comfortable in front of the camera, she was crucial every step of the way. But now, the real reason she's incredible is her work. Her photography has a way of capturing moments I've never seen another photographer capture. She captures the real, raw love. Not staged moments. Almost every photo she delivered to us, from our engagement to our wedding, made me cry. And on the day of the wedding, she was an absolute dream to work with. She kept everyone organized and moving along and made sure I got the exact photos I wanted. She even spotted a rainbow outside and ran in to grab us for a quick photo. She is always thinking about her couples and putting them first, and it shows throughout the entire process. Her husband Ryan is also awesome, and was even our officiant! He was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and was a great buddy to the guys during the wedding day. And the best part, he knows when to get out of the photo for the first kiss: rockstar officiant! My husband and I can't recommend Sarah enough, and everyone that sees our photos asks who took them and we are SO excited to say SARAH BROOKHART! Seriously brides, if you want an amazing, reliable vendor that takes the most incredible and meaningful photos EVER, Sarah is your girl!

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. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot stress enough how it will be the best decision you've made for your wedding to hire Alli as your photographer. From the moment I sent in an inquiry form, she has delivered such a luxury experience. From being in constant communication, to making me feel so comfortable and beautiful at my engagement shoot, to even helping me choose the aesthetic for bridesmaids dresses! Alli truly goes above and beyond what I expected a wedding photographer to do for me. The day of the wedding we did a private shoot with just her and her partner and WOW - I was blown away by the pictures. We had such a high end experience, from the quality of the photos to how professional and speedy she was at the shoot. It was important to me to not spend the whole day taking pictures, as I truly wanted to be in the moment and enjoy my wedding day. What she did for us in an hour would have taken several with a regular photographer. Alli has shot several events for me including engagement photos, my wedding, and multiple branding shoots. I cannot recommend her enough.

My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express how incredibly thankful we were for choosing McKenna to capture our big day. McKenna was so friendly and charismatic from the start and she fit right into the craziness and chaos of our life without missing a beat. She was flexible and super communicative, especially when it rained on the day of our engagement photos, which really helped to calm our nerves and make the session comfortable and fun. She stepped right into the flow of things on our wedding day and kept everyone on schedule and in good spirits. The photos came back better than I could've imagined and our guests haven't stopped talking about them. To say that McKenna is talented would be an understatement and I'll certainly be asking her to capture the rest of our big life moments!

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.

Kay is an amazing photographer, and person. Working with her on not only my wedding but other photography projects has always been so easy, and so fun. The way she is able to effortlessly capture the beauty of special moments amazes me. She is very skilled annd what she does and it shows. I’m so grateful I met her and asked her to document the most important day of my life so far. I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with the moment. I also have always gotten my photos back earlier than the return date she gives. If you need a fun, energetic, professional with boatloads of talent, you’re in the right place.

She took time to really get to know us beforehand, and prepped us so we knew exactly what to expect. She blended perfectly with our group the day of, was super helpful while the bridal party was getting ready, and then I don’t recall seeing her again once the reception started. But I know she was there because the photos are gorgeous, perfectly capture our special day! She’s also just a really really nice person, an absolute joy to be around! Thanks so much for everything!

Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your wedding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

Jay was absolutely incredible. Not only was I impressed but my guests were impressed as well. He was everywhere and no where at the same time! You didn’t even really notice he was there yet he was all over the place. He was professional, very kind, and very talented. He captured our day beautifully. It was almost like a hallmark movie. He was very affordable and we got our photos back within 2 weeks after the wedding. We highly recommend using PixByJay, and will be going to Jay again for any future photography needs!!!
