Anna Romani Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Washington, DC

I am more than just a wedding photographer. I am also your hype woman, go-to for all wedding planning questions and day-of help, and #1 cheerleader during the wedding planning process. Ask any of my past couples... I will definitely be on the dance floor at your reception! I pride myself on helping my clients feel comfortable in front of my lens. You would not believe how many times clients have told me they don't like taking photos or "aren't photogenic," and then end up loving their photos! I am based in the DC area, and central Texas.

I can't say enough great things about Anna! She took photos for our wedding welcome party, and they are gorgeous - she got the lighting perfect (and it was challenging in a dark room!), got every shot I even imagined, and turned around sneak peeks truly the SAME evening! I was so pleased with the entire process from start to finish and would recommend Anna to anyone looking for a photographer!

Daniela Zapata Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Washington, DC

Daniela Zapata Photography is dedicated to capturing joy in every frame, and love in every moment. The DZP wedding experience includes thoughtful timeline planning, stress-free posing, and professional guidance every step of the way. I did my job right if your grandkids fight over your wedding photos one day (in a loving way, of course).

We chose Daniela to photograph our wedding day – she was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! When we were deciding to book with her, she took time to understand our vision and make sure we were a good fit. Daniela came prepared and organized to every meeting, crafting our shot list and what we wanted to capture for our big day. Daniela took time to come to the rehearsal dinner and took fantastic candid photos. On the big day, Daniela and her second photographer Kranthi were so helpful – capturing getting ready and the big moments before during and after the ceremony. The photos turned out incredible – they captured our vision and our day perfectly. Daniela’s energy was also fantastic; she brought a bright and energetic vibe that made her a delight to work with. We would recommend Daniela for ANY event – she is a fantastic photographer and you will not regret choosing her.

Brigitte Renee Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Washington, DC

I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts. This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!

Brigitte is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Her keen eye and sense of detail, added with her bubbly personality and ability to make you feel like her best friend legitimately is the perfect recipe for the best photographer. She is talented, down-to-earth, and full of so many amazing ideas and qualities that you NEED in your photographer. If you hire her, you will definitely not be disappointed.

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.

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

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

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!

I'm a wedding photographer based in Virginia, who travels the world capturing couples unique stories on a mix of film and digital. I'm always ready to travel & continually inspired by my clients & the stunning locations I’m grateful to explore each year. When not working or traveling, you'll find me spending quality time with my husband, my twin boys and rescued pup, Lana. Obsessed with stonewashed linen, puppies & minimal design, my ideal evening is a relaxed alfresco dinner with friends at a farm table overflowing with wine bottles and lots of laughs.

Vicki is a truly gifted photographer. Her composition, lighting, and color tones are always immaculate. Her presence on a wedding day is professional, poised, and unobtrusive. Her eye for details and ensuring her subjects look their absolute best ensures every single image she delivers is worthy of framing in your home. I am absolutely thrilled at every chance we have to work together and highly, highly recommend her!

Rebecca Wilcher Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,100
  • Serves Washington, DC

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 Erika, born and raise in Italy! and for that I love to travel to my hometown as much as I can. I moved in USA in 2012 and I love capturing your raw emotions in the most stunning settings. 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

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Washington, DC

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.

Hey Y'all! Tori Del came from my name Victoria Delgado. I am an introvert so if I come off as quiet or awkward that's basically the over analytical thinking happening as we speak lol. I am a hopeless romantic. I truly believe there is someone out there for everyone and I legit cry at all weddings. When it comes to photographing our loving couples, I love to incorporate both digital and film photography. I was introduced to photography through film photography and have always loved the aesthetic. When I am not photographing loving couples, I am holding down my household with my husband. We have 3 amazing children and a cute pup!
