  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $7,500

HEY THERE! MY NAME IS KLAIRE, AND I'M A FINE ART WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, D.C. Elegantly refined details and family heirlooms make my heart pitter patter on a wedding day. I take on a select number of weddings every year to treat every couple with the utmost care as if they're old friends - I always cry happy tears on wedding days! I am eternally grateful to work with couples and capture beautiful images on their wedding day. My highest priority is to strengthen marriages with imagery that will remind them of how their unique story began.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Klaire for our wedding pictures, which included our engagement session too. Klaire truly brought so much joy and ease to both sessions, but especially our wedding day! We got our pictures back quickly and are still amazed at how she captured our day years later! Could not have asked for a better photographer!

Jennifer Fern Photography

Alexandria, VA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,300

As a wedding photographer by passion & an aerospace engineer by day, I bring a unique perspective to my photography. I am incredibly detail-oriented, hardworking, & I truly believe everyone deserves quality photos to look back on of special moments in their life. My goal is to deliver luxury, editorial images that capture the true essence of your love story. I approach each wedding with a fresh perspective, knowing that every couple is unique & deserves to have their story told in a way that is true to them. So count on me to take charge when needed & when I'm not - to keep on authentically & artfully documenting your day.

As a wedding planner, I've had the pleasure of working with a myriad of photographers, and Jenn certainly stands out. Jenn's professionalism and communication skills are top-notch, making the collaboration process seamless and stress-free. She is highly responsive, consistently keeping me in the loop, which is extremely important to the running of a smooth event. The wedding we worked on together required a high-degree of flexibility, and Jenn was not only capable of handling last-minute changes, but she did so with grace and a positive attitude. And all this before we've even discussed her work. Jenn's photos were beautiful, elevated, and did a great service to every design vendor who participated. She turned around sneak peeks quickly, and even provided the venue with some footage for them to use in their marketing. Highly recommend Jenn for any couple looking for film-quality photos delivered with positivity and professionalism.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

My name is Amanda, I'm a photographer and I absolutely love to connect with new people as well as learn their stories. I'm someone who would rather learn all about you, and get to know you on a deeper level. I'm originally from Cuba, I was born there, and by the age of 5, my parents and I moved to Mexico. I lived in Mexico for 7 years only to find out I was unhappy living there! In 2008, my mom, grandma, and I moved to Connecticut, and I began a whole new chapter in my life! I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and everything will eventually fall into place with just a little bit of hope and optimism!

When you start wedding planning, it is so overwhelming to decide on vendors when there are so many available. But we are so happy we chose Amanda to be our wedding photographer! My husband and I had never had professional photos done, and when we had our engagement photo session, Amanda helped us become more comfortable and photographed us naturally, while also giving us suggestions for poses and actions so she could get some great shots. We saw our engagement photos and they were so beautiful, we were so excited to have her photograph our wedding! Throughout the process, Amanda was always fast to respond and answered any questions we had. She even guided us on our wedding timeline and was so helpful since she has photographed so many weddings. On the day of our wedding - she fit in with all our friends and family for the vibe of our wedding - fun, relaxed, and loving! We appreciated that she listened to everything we wanted for our wedding photos, but also made suggestions for things that she knew she could photograph amazingly! Now looking at our photographs, we are blown away by how beautiful they are and how she captured the day and us as a couple. Thank you so much to Amanda for capturing our best day ever!

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Kelly and her assistant were FABULOUS! They were both so easy to work with, caught the best moments of the wedding we hosted for our daughter and her husband. We are blown away with the photos and can't recommend Kelly ore highly! She will make your day all the more special!

Congrats on your celebration of life! We would love to be on your BIG DAY and tell us more about your EXCITEMENT through our camera.

We truly understand each client is different and unique, we believe your SPECIAL day collection should be reflecting your personality as well. No matter the vision or style for your wedding day or an engagement , we are here to provide a deeply personal experience for our couple.

Shooting with Lucy and Janos was a really fun experience. Our pictures have a natural quality to them which is evidence of how at ease we were during the shoot. In some of our pictures, we're smiling and laughing, while others look like images pulled from an editorial spread. Lucy and Janos are skilled photographers and editors, but they also have knack for directing that can be hard to find. They have an artistic vision and are ready to bring it to life for their clients. I would highly recommend choosing Lucy and Janos for your big day!

Steve Broy Photography

Centreville, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $300

Growing up with a passion for skateboarding provided me with a creative view of the world around me. I've been taking pictures professionally for about 8 years and I'm inspired by the music I listen to and those that I love being creative with. 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. Thanks again Steve

Til Death Media

5.0

Springfield, VA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,200

I am passionate about capturing each couples unique story and their one-of-a-kind love. We are a husband and wife team plus our best man! When Jeremiah and I got engaged and started planning our wedding, the search for a photographer & videographer was a grueling tasks. I kept saying, “If ONLY Jeremiah & En could capture our wedding,” but that was totally unfeasible be as one is the groom & the other the best man. Then the light bulb went off & Til Death Media was born!

I will forever recommend Till Death Media! Kira helped me out of a bind when my photographer backed out less than 2 weeks before my wedding. Even though TDM wasn't able to photograph my wedding on such short notice, Kira spent hours searching for and interviewing local photographers on our behalf, eventually finding someone who was both a perfect match and well within our budget. Kira helped us edit and finalize our itinerary, organize which photographs we wanted taken, and even helped us pinpoint exactly what kind of editing style we wanted done - all things that I should've had sorted out with my previous photographer, but I was unaware of due to poor communication. When she stepped in, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I don't think I could've been happier with our wedding or our photographer. :) I 100% recommend Kira and TDM!

Vanessa Bennish Photography

Gaithersburg, MD
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

Vanessa’s passion for everyone’s love story shines through from the moment you meet her. I’ve truly never met anyone that is as excited for someone else’s love and their love story. I believe this is what makes her so incredibly special and amazing at what she does. I wanted a warmer, boho vibe in our photos and we are absolutely obsessed with every moment, detail, and emotion captured during our special day. Vanessa’s professionalism and calming demeanor is also something that every wedding couple is lucky to have on their day. She used cues that make sense, wrangled our rowdy crowd with ease, and even had the littles ready for their red carpet debut in front of the camera. I can’t recommend Vanessa enough… I know I’ll be reaching out again for all of our special moments through life.

Rebecca Wilcher Photography

5.0

Alexandria, VA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,100

My name is Rebecca, but some call me Becks. I'll let you decide which one to call me! I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer based out of Alexandria, VA, but I am ALWAYS looking for an excuse to travel. I'm inspired by human connections, love and friendships. I live for adventure, goofiness and optimism. When I’m not working, I can be found working out with my husband, traveling or at a grocery store/farmers market. Dark chocolate, workout clothes, ice cream, sushi and vegetables are a few of my favorite things.

We cannot recommend Rebecca enough. Aside from the absolutely stunning photos she took, she was a wonderful, positive force of energy to have around. She was also very calming especially when things got hectic with our zoom connection and instructed us to take deep breaths so as not to look tense in the photos. We never had a photoshoot done before but we instantly felt comfortable being candid with her. She knew exactly how to guide us through various poses and also listened to all our requests ex. close ups of the bouquet, of our rings, etc. It was small things like carrying my bag from location to location, making sure I was comfortable in my heels, and telling us to dab our sweat (humid August day!) that really made working with her a true pleasure. She definitely exceeded our expectations and we will never stop recommending her. Thank you, Rebecca!

I'm super outdoorsy, I love my hubby and my puppies... I believe in real connection and I think we must really like each other, because I'll be in your face all day, on your wedding day! Are you ready for it?

Erika is such an amazing, talented artist- her pictures are truly works of art! She is very responsive prior to the big day, which made my life easier as a bride. She is very easy to get along with and having her document our day was a blast! She also had a quick turnaround with her final edits! She is the best!

MFields Photography

5.0

Hyattsville, MD
  • Editorial style

After my first year of college studying music, I decided to take the business route. I worked for several Fortune 500 businesses and even some start-ups. Photography initially started as a hobby but it slowly became a passion as I developed a growing desire to serve others instead of quarterly sales goals. Studying various genres of photography allowed me to discover wedding & portrait photography - and the rest is history! From Washington DC to your destination event, my specialties include weddings, engagement sessions, and portrait photography.

Prior to finding out about MFields Photography, I was very frustrated with the process of booking a wedding photographer. So much so that by chance I was venting to my dental hygienist about my lackluster experience of finding a wedding photographer to capture one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Luckily she understood my dilemma since she was a newlywed. She told me all about MFields Photography and how great he was to work with. After my appointment she showed me her wedding pictures and I was SOLD. I called Myron the next day and he been making my role as a bride easy ever since. Myron is a valuable resource to have on your wedding team. Not only is he a great photographer, but he is well respected in his field. He also connected us to other reputable wedding professionals that helped us bring the magic for our wedding day. We are beyond grateful.

We are committed to keeping it real because we want to document each wedding celebration as it really unfolded and to visually show how it felt to be there.

Ethan's niche in photography stems from his background in film from Maryland Institute College Of Art and his abiding passion for the arts. He has the ability to capture moments as if they were stills from a film and he approaches his work with the utmost diligence and detail. Perhaps these traits pay homage to the training he received while serving in the United States Marine Corp, or perhaps they are innate. Nonetheless, His work aims to exhibit its own beautiful story.

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
​My wife and I connected with Josh in September 2019. We reached out to him via email to inquire about his services as a wedding photographer. Josh was very professional and did a wonderful job answering all of our questions. We were so eager to book him as our wedding photographer that we had sent him our deposit before we even had our initial planning meeting. Josh was grateful for our confidence in him. It was important to him that we at least meet so we can make a decision to confirm or withdraw our deposit. We were so impressed with Josh’s work that it was an easy decision to book him as our wedding photographer. ​Working with Josh was an absolute dream! He is very detailed oriented and always accommodating with our requests. He provided fantastic recommendations on where to have our photo shoots. In May 2020, we had to reschedule our wedding to the following year due to COVID. Josh reassured us that he would be with us all the way and that we would figure it all out together. Our deposit would be carried over to the next year, and Josh had even offered us a free photo shoot. This truly shows that Josh cares about his clients and will go the extra mile for them. There were a number of times when my wife and I would meet up with Josh to have lunch together. We would talk about plans for upcoming photo shoots, discuss the wedding itinerary, and get to know each other more. We all share common interests, and we just hit it off from the very beginning. I knew right then and there that we didn’t just get a wonderful photographer for our wedding; we got a new friend for life. ​Josh did such a phenomenal capturing every part of our wedding day. From getting ready in the morning to the wedding reception, the pictures that Josh took were absolutely breath taking. His style is truly simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. Because of him, we have all these wonderful photos to look back on and remember for the rest of our lives. Later that evening, I remember Josh coming up to me to let me know that he was done for the night and was about to head home. I was so surprised how time went by so quickly that day! I joked around and said, “No, please don’t go!” Our wedding day is by far the best day of my life that I didn’t want that day to end. With his giving spirit, Josh had offered stay a bit longer for us. However, I wanted to abide by our contract, and my wife and I thanked him for all that he had done for us that day. I knew that we would be seeing each again in the future. This was just the start of something beautiful. ​For all of those searching for a wedding photographer, I highly recommend Josh. You will have the time of your life working with him, and the moments leading up to the wedding will be captured perfectly. Have confidence in him like we did, and you all may be onto something beautiful.

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.

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin is an incredible photographer. I fell in love with his photography way before even getting engaged was up for discussion. I had high hopes, and they were exceeded. As someone who feels extremely awkward in front of a camera, it was crucial to have someone who helped us feel natural. I know everyone says it in their reviews, but it's true - Justin is genuinely friendly and great at helping you feel secure and confident in having the type of wedding you want most (and then swooping in and capturing it all.) I am not exaggerating when saying that before our sweetheart session, my spouse and I had ZERO photos of us kissing or any other PDA because we both felt so awkward! You'd never know from our sweetheart session - Justin is a rockstar at helping his clients feel relaxed and feel like they're able to be themselves in front of a camera. Throughout the day, Justin was incredible at helping us feel like we were the stars of the show, without the tremendous pressure of "This Is Your Day." He had us laughing early and managed to whisk us away for some reflecting, romantic evening photos as well. Our family also raved about him, and I think my spouse's sister is now obsessed with recreating the posing from one of Justin's cues in every family photo now until the end of time. I didn't feel stressed about worrying whether we'd get all our "loved ones" or whether we'd have time for "golden hour" photos (yes, and yes.) I didn't overthink how I looked. I was able to enjoy being in the moment, and as a chronic overthinker, that's priceless. We were gushing about Justin's work from our sweetheart session and we were absolutely blown away AGAIN. Somehow, Justin successfully captured even more incredible shots. The gallery is authentic, romantic, silly and just so US - and it's just the previews! I can't wait to hang even more of Justin's stellar work in our home. I know whatever projects Justin takes on, the results will be vibrant, joyous, and authentic. You couldn't ask for a better person to be alongside for such an important event.

Kylie is a photographer, but her titles don’t stop there. She is such a wonderful, kind, caring individual, along with a wife, and a mother (to one of the cutest boys). Aside from being one of her clients, she becomes a friend along the way. Sending care packages, Birthday wishes, to just checking in on how you’re doing and if you need any help with anything – that’s going above and beyond the “duties” of a photographer. Kylie, along with her second shooter, made everything feel so natural. My husband and I were so comfortable throughout our pictures the entire day. Our wedding party kept commenting on how fun they were and how it was refreshing to choose what types of pictures we wanted. After the big day was done, we were so surprised with how quickly we received our online gallery! It’s such a rush of emotions to relive one of the best days of your lives through these pictures, and Kylie did an amazing job because we are OBSESSED!! We will never find the perfect words to praise Kylie enough. Look through her galleries and you will see what amazing work she creates.

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously. I will be there to support you through the entire wedding process and then fist pump along side you on the dance floor. My main goal is to provide you with an incredible experience. A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

Jessi is absolutely wonderful to work with! She keeps you relaxed and is just so fun to be around that everything turns out wonderfully! Our wedding pictures are amazing and I still love them so much!

Amative Creative came highly recommended by a friend who had Andrea photograph her wedding, and the work was beautiful! She was highly professional, and was the perfect person to capture our day.

Amazing service, flexible, beautiful products, what more are you looking for? The team at Ezer is thoughtful, highly supportive, and really felt like part of our wedding team. They were willing to work with us to help achieve our vision for photos, went above and beyond, and really make the experience so seamless. This isn't even mentioning the quality of the photos, the speed at which they delivered, and the ease of communication. They really made us feel so special and celebrated as well, we couldn't be happier with their service and generosity. Book them for their photography, but they really shine because of who they are as people.

A lifetime of memories can occur in a single day. After months, perhaps even years of planning, you deserve to remember your "best day yet" through vibrant and meaningful portraiture. That's what we want for you: A positive, "we totally nailed it," "I've gotta show everyone," photographic experience from start to finish!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to even begin with this woman! Rachel and I have known each other for more than half of my life, so once we were engaged, there was zero question in my mind on who would photograph our big day. From our first conversation, Rachel knew our vision and executed it perfectly from our engagement session to our wedding day. My husband, like most men, don’t love to be in front of the camera. At our engagement photos, Rachel helped Matt feel so comfortable, and had him laughing/smiling the whole time! A few weeks later, we received the cutest mini photo book that had our favorite photos in it, such a sweet and thoughtful gift (and something i still look at almost daily!!) Fast forward to our wedding day, Rachel and her second photographer Haley, absolutely friggin KILLED IT! We had beautiful weather on our side, and man did we use that to our advantage!! Rachel and Haley both did such an amazing job capturing all the love and happiness everyone felt on our wedding day. They kept us on time, got every shot we asked for. We had two of the best in the industry, and our gorgeous photos show that! We are so grateful to have had both Rachel and Haley there with us on the big day. A million thank you’s would never be enough, but thank you!! Best decision we ever made was hiring Rachel Dibs Photography!

I’m Sarah, wedding + elopement photographer documenting true and heartfelt moments wherever your little heart desires. My husband, Ryan is my adventure-loving second photographer and ordained officiant (yep, he’ll marry you!). We are city-dwelling nature lovers who strongly believe in having a good time. We call Pennsylvania home but travel all over to photograph couples in love. When not behind the camera or working on the computer, we enjoy cocktails, coffee, cats, and hiking with our toddler, Brooklyn.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sarah is phenomenal. It’s taken me two weeks to write a review because I just didn’t feel ready. She captured my husband and my personality and love so well, it shows in every picture from the sneak peek she gave us. She is a total pro and is absolutely worth every penny. She and Ryan had lots of experience with weddings at our venue, so I felt very comfortable letting her run the show. They both did a fantastic job with putting us, our wedding parties, and our families at ease while also being very efficient with time. Sarah was thinking ahead and planning the whole time, she thought of things that never occurred to me. I cannot recommend or praise Sarah enough, she is absolutely phenomenal.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac went above and beyond! We had him for both our engagements photos and wedding. My husband and I are not big on taking photos and he made us feel so comfortable. Got all the shots we wanted and was a true fly on the wall. We got so many compliments! Highly recommend! You can trust him to capture the most important life events in the best light. Thank you Isaac! Cheers!

He is absolutely kind, energetic, and professional throughout both of our shoots. ( we loved our engagement session so much we booked him right away for our wedding ! ) The photos and video came out beyond our wildest dreams. For two people who don't love being in front of the camera, I don't know how he does what he does. I never felt overly aware of the camera or like I was being posed. Yet somehow he pulled off the most amazing and epic photos and final video! Almost unbelievable. 10/10 recommend. The best around!
