Artur was great to work with! He was professional and very responsive. He sent us sneak peaks the very next day, which was awesome. Our photos turned out amazing, we absolutely loved them! We really wanted sunset pictures, and he was able to capture those perfectly. We also got videography through Kandid Arts and I highly recommend them as well if you want video. Our highlight video captured the day perfectly

Nicole Thomas Photography

Hampton, VA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Chesapeake, 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.

Nichole was a dream to work with. She showed up early and came ready to work. Not only was she helpful during the couples ceremony, she also helped me tremendously with the family photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, and personable photographer.

DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK WITH HER!! Stephanie was one of our favorite vendors to work with! Starting with our initial phone call, she was the sweetest person and also matched our vibe extremely well! She’s so energetic, fun and has an amazing personality. We worked with her for the first time on our wedding day and the minute she walked in the door, she calmed any nerves I had and got to work immediately. She scoped out our venue and made sure to take the best photos possible. She told us how to pose to make us look our best and never once did we feel uncomfortable. She captured so many candids of us and these are our favorites! She’s also super fun and we had a great time with her!! We are still obsessing over our photos a month later and will be for years to come! Thank you so much Stephanie!!!! We miss you!!

Natasha Lamalle Photography

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Chesapeake, 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
Natasha gave us more than just photographs, she gave us an exhilarating experience. She took us on a beautiful dance in and out of crowds through Union Station. Capturing the essence of our joy once my wife and I placed eyes on each other for our first look. Then taking us to Union Market to bring us and our friends together, capturing tender moments of joy and laughter. And finally, our wedding, where singing, dancing and love was reflected in every photo of not only my wife and I, but also those that were there to celebrate with us.

Virginia Beach, VA

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. Her professionalism and quality of product are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her work and you can tell how passionate she is about it. If you want someone with great energy, clear communication, incredible products, great professionalism, and so much more then she’s your girl!

The Lauren Louise Collective

Washington, DC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Chesapeake, 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!!

Sam Hurd Photography

Washington, DC
  • Fine art style

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.

All I knew was that I was marrying my fiancé and that Sam was going to be our photographer. I didn’t care about anything else except that he was our photographer. The engagement session was so much fun! The day of the wedding was unbelievable. He’s so calm and professional. He answered all of my questions throughout the process quickly without getting frustrated. Lastly, his work is is just AMAZING! Highly recommend if you love bright colorful unique photos.

NO RULES. JUST FUN. Wedding days are awesome. There’s you, the rad couple who has decided to take the big leap. And there’s the cake, the vows, the friends and family, the toasts and all the love. (Did I mention cake?) Even though weddings can be awesome, they can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With Awesomesauce Photography, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing. I want you to actually enjoy partying with your friends and eat the awesome meal you have meticulously chosen, not spend it taking portraits for hours. With me, there are no rules. Just fun.

Combining emotion and romance, with a hint of mystery and wonder. These photos will tell your story in a one-of-a-kind way. Documenting your love differently from any other. And allowing you to re-live it with your love ones in the most special way. As a wedding photographer I think it’s really important to build a relationship with all of my couples. Honestly, I will admit that as your photographer I usually spend more time with you two individually than you actually will together on your wedding day. Which is why I have a lot to explain for how I move forward in capturing high caliber wedding photos with all of my couples.

We've had the pleasure of working with Wes Shinn on numerous occasions, and each time, he exceeds our expectations. His ability to transform your wedding moments into timeless works of art is unparalleled. Choosing him as your wedding photographer ensures not only stunning memories but you’ll also get a kind, professional photographer who cares about his clients. Trust us, you won't regret it!

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. 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.

I've worked with this photographer a few times and each time it has been like a fairy-tale shoot. An ordinary couple, set in a scene to make heads turn as they walk by. It's truly a magical experience. And then getting the pictures back is a whole set of feelings. My shoots have been with my boyfriend and with each picture I recieved back, you could truly see the love and energy captured in time. Forever cherished memories.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind.

PAPERBOYS

5.0

Fredericksburg, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,995
  • Serves Chesapeake, VA

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Hiring Nate with the Paperboys team might have been the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I are (very picky) creatives by nature and trade so we knew that we wanted to be very intentional about our choice of photographer for our special day. Our venue was a historic hotel that requires you to work with one of their select partners, something we initially were a little hesitant about due to its inherent limitations. Most partners listed had very technically beautiful photos but nothing that excited us creatively. Until we saw their most recent partner addition: Paperboys. We loved the playfulness, talent, and imagination that was deeply valued with the team and quickly connected with our photographer Nate both creatively and socially. It was apparent that he truly loved his craft and was easy to communicate our vision with, always making sure to ask helpful questions and take the time to study our provided resource materials. Without prompting or extra charge, he also opted to bring his own film camera to snap some artsy film shots on the actual day, an above and beyond move that shows how much he genuinely just loves what he does. The finished photos absolutely exceeded expectations. His signature style we loved shone through while also managing to capture the exact essence of what we were hoping for stylistically. And as someone who specifically struggles with body confidence and anxiety, he was able to make me feel safe by providing a calm presence and plenty of posing guidance. This allowed me to truly just exist and enjoy the day, which is something I genuinely wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to manage, and therefore the most wonderful gift in and of itself. TLDR: Just hire Paperboys already and thank me later! You’re welcome.

We will treasure our coverage forever. Kat was the sweetest and helped out when needed. She helped us reschedule our engagement photo shoot when it rained and was just a calm and cool presence. Loved having the free session - made me feel very at peace with our decision to hire her leading up to the wedding. We will probably seek her out for family pictures in the future. (She does more than just weddings!) Wishing you the best in this industry!

Christine is amazing! I was looking for a photographer for my wedding who’s work had more contrast than a lot of the light and airy photos I’ve seen lately and Christine definitely delivered! She’s super sweet and easy to work with (even doing our engagement pictures when she was super pregnant)! She did such a great job of scouting locations to take photos for our downtown San Diego wedding and we love that we have pictures in different spots around our venue. She also spent time talking through different dynamics with families for wedding pictures so we could get all the combos we needed without awkwardness of certain family members not getting along. I cannot recommend working with Christine enough! Hire her- you won’t regret it!!

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.

Right from our very first meeting, Laura's professionalism, expertise, and calming presence put us at ease.

Her attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic without a single worry.

Alex was incredible to work with, start to finish. She was prompt to respond when we initially reached out to her, and we quickly setup a zoom call. We fell in love with her pure passion for what she does, and we felt fully comfortable and confident in her ability and professionalism. Alex kept up with us throughout the year long engagement and sent us helpful information along the way. She was responsive to messages on honeybook and always calm and confident—which helped ease any bridal anxieties I had! Alex did phenomenal work the day of the wedding. She was prompt, professional, and had a great vibe for our special day. She helped us scope out some fun, artistic spots to take photos and she made the whole day very special. I cannot wait to see the final images but I have no doubt that they will be beyond breath-taking. Alex—I hope we have more special occasions in the future that require your talent and vision!

We were so excited to work with Kimie after seeing her work on Instagram and being referred to her by our wedding planner. She is super sweet and down to earth, and when we had our initial meeting I felt like I'd known her forever, she was that easy to talk to. For someone who has only been focusing on video for a few years (she started with just photography) Kimie is incredibly skilled. She captured all the special moments and made us look like superstars in our own movie (which, let's be honest, is what we all want lol). And what really made us Kimie's #1 fans was that she stayed through the entire reception even though she was only booked until about 8:30pm. She was able to catch the best of the dance party and our exit, which I was originally bummed about not getting video of but was such a nice surprise. We are in love with our videos and watch them over and over again, and every night our baby girls are like "Mommy! Video!". Book Kimie! (Married 5/21/22)

Awarded Best of Zola
We originally hired Corrin as our wedding photographer because we knew each other growing up and in addition to being incredibly talented at what she does, she’s just the kind of person you love to be around. Two days before our wedding, we found out a tropical storm was going to flood our venue (The Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk) and we were told we had to find a new place to get married. Absolutely devastated, I called Corrin and asked if she would be willing to meet us there the day before the storm to try to get at least the first look photos we had spent the last year and a half dreaming about. Without hesitation, she said “of course!” and showed up with a smile on her face and spent two hours taking the most beautiful, meaningful photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Because that’s just the kind of person she is: selfless and compassionate and completely dedicated to her couples. Corrin understood the vision we were going for and not only executed it perfectly at our original venue for our portraits, but also the next day at the new venue having just found out about it two days prior! She goes the extra mile with everything that she does and it shows, not only in her work, but also in how you feel during the most chaotic but exciting day of your life. We are sooo thankful for Corrin and would hire her a million times over!

I’m Josephine, or Jo for short. I take photos of a lot of different things, but I am always inspired by efficient design (think Bauhaus), movement and authenticity. Most of my photography is digital, but I love film so my editing style is reminiscent of that. Every once in a while I shoot a roll of film to document my own life which mainly consists of the following: getting outside, being active, telling my dog I love him, advocating for environmental protection, working my full time job and let’s be honest, spending way too much time staring at screens.

Working with Jo last August was absolutely great! As a coordinator, having someone on the vendor team who is flexible and calm is super important. She handled the rowdy guests with a calm and patient demeanor, was a team-player as things changed, and open to suggestions and questions from me. And the photos are fantastic, of course!

I'm a published wedding and portrait photographer located in a small town outside of Charlottesville. In addition to capturing beautiful images, I love spending time with my family, am freakishly good at word games (Hey Wheelmobile!), drink way too much Coca-Cola, know every line to Hocus Pocus and can never pass up a Chick-fil-A waffle fry or a trip to HomeGoods.

Would recommend Gracie to anyone! She takes the time to get to know your vision and executes it perfectly. (Plus her sneak peek was over 60 pictures which was amazing!!)

We're Jay and Larissa, partners, parents, and documentary wedding photographers based in Chicago and capturing weddings around the world. We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. We've also been ranked among the world's best wedding photographers, but what matters most to us is what our couples think. Our goal is to blow your mind with photos that make your mother-in-law cry and your best friends say "holy shit!" If you want wedding photos that aren't just wedding photos, you're in the right place.

Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

Hi I'm Maddy! I’m a Virginia native whose love of her camera took her on an adventure into entrepreneurship. I accidentally stumbled into wedding photography thanks to some family friends, and ended up leaving my career as a consultant to pursue my passion. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a perfectionist and a little bit Type A, but take pride in how that makes me into a great wedding photographer. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love the energy of a wedding day that keeps me on my toes. My attention to detail allows me to go above and beyond when it comes to helping you prepare and capturing your wedding day.

We absolutely loved working with Maddy! She was professional, talented, and made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoots. She truly nailed the sweet romance we were trying to achieve through our pictures. Our package also included an engagement session and the photos came out beautiful! We had an incredible selection to choose for our save the date and website photos. Maddy’s system is also so easy to use. She uploads all photos online and gives you the option to download into a Google Photos album so it makes sharing with friends and family incredibly simple. In the days leading up to our wedding, Maddy was organized and helpful, even prepared for the rainfall predicted for our wedding! The day turned out gorgeous and so did our pictures. We are so happy we chose Maddy to capture our big day and I know you will too!

Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

I drink an absurd amount of tea and I make videos occasionally. I adore art museums and dabble on the ukulele. My entire life, I’ve loved sharing my perspective; illustrating life as I saw it and taking photos of things I thought may be overlooked. And I even wrote a journal entry at the age of 7 stating I would someday be an artist. In a black and white composition notebook, I poorly scribbled the words: “I don’t want to be famous, but I want people to want my art.”

Nessa is an incredible photographer who is easy to work with and produces phenomenal photographs. She was happy to adapt her style to the vibe of our day (but still keep her trademark "Nessa-ness"). We wanted a photographer who wouldn't be imposing on the day and who would capture the story our wedding rather than just take a lot of clean cut portraits. That being said, the portraits we did take were also stunning, so if that's what you want, just let her know! She's great at both, just tends towards more journalistic. I plan on using Nessa again when we had kids or just need a fabulous photographer.

As your wedding photographer I understand the journey you have been on that leads you to your wedding day. I know about the unique twists and turns of your story as a couple and how much this celebration means to you both. I know these things because I am invested in you as a couple just as you are investing in me as your photographer. As you vow to be true to each other for the rest of your lives, I promise to capture you in a timeless and romantic way that creates heirloom quality images that eventually turn into your legacy.

Meridith Bright is an exceptional photographer. You would be absolutely blessed to have her by your side at any event. Meridith photographed my wedding (10/14/2023), welcome party (10/13/2023), and a recent family photography session (9/2023). I could not have been happier with her work, professionalism, and vibe. Due to budget reasons, we were unable to have a second shooter, but she was EVERYWHERE. Every single time I looked up, there was Meredith. It rained on my wedding day, which limited our availability for photo locations - no big deal, she improvised and came up with excellent second choices. When I stepped outside the tent to take selfies with my girlfriends in the rain, all of a sudden there was Meridith capturing our moment as well. I’m a photography addict and I had some out of the box ideas that Meridith admittedly didn't have experience with. I love that she was open and honest about not having done this type of photo before and I loved her willingness to try out the photo styles. One of these requested photos was in my sneak peak, and it was to die for, perfect. Two days before my wedding, my mother surprised me with a list of photos she would be requiring for the day. I thought my "official" timeline by my planner wasn't going to be able to accommodate this. Meridith took charge. She went back and forth with me multiple times over the next 48hrs and created a new timeline to ensure we could get it done. Lastly, after all that back and forth, I was insanely late the day of my wedding. There was a bit of drama (surprise lol), and I did not complete my hair and makeup until over an hour after I was supposed to. Oh my goodness was Meridith wonderful in this situation. She never flustered or got angry with me. Instead, she lovingly kept reminding me of the importance to have fun and enjoy this time. So while I was freaking out at the potential of ruining everything, Meridith was go with the flow, upbeat, and calming - all things I really needed. I got my sneak peak photos from the wedding and welcome party on 10/15/2023. 26 pictures of pure perfection. OBSESSED! They are absolutely gorgeous. The day had its fair share of craziness, but these pictures are out of this world – coming from someone with 105,891 pictures on their phone. I feel like I got my perfect day, which will forever mean the world to me and would not have been able to happen without Meridith Bright. Thank you for everything, Mer! And to the googlers still reading, book her – you won’t regret it.

I believe in loving and laughing and taking full advantage of the time we've been given. I'm a smile at strangers, hold the door open, start a conversation in an elevator type of girl. But believe it or not, I'm a bit of an introvert as well. I crave solitude, naps and pizza on the regular. But hey, I'm a wife, mom of three teenagers and business owner, so solitude, naps and pizza are like staples for sanity, right? I find my peace in the mountains. I travel any chance I get. And I mean ANY chance. Hot tea gets me excited and I could live in the bathtub or shower. Oh and cheese. If you need to know something about me, know cheese.

Born & raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I've been capturing love stories for over 15 years. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for over 10 years, and raising our two sweet boys on this little sandbar we call home is a dream come true. While we are based on the OBX, we happily serve couples on the Outer Banks and Beyond, and enjoy spending the winter months in Costa Rica. We have a large focus on coastal weddings, and are heavily involved in the sport fishing & commercial fishing industry, and many of our couples have a love of the water.

Hello, I am Alexius. I was born and raised right here in the good ole North Carolina. I live in Raleigh now, but I was raised in a small town of "Midway" (right outside of Winston-Salem). I found my passion for photography about five years ago and still amazed at the places that my little camera has taken me. I am even more amazed at the friends I have made while pursuing my passion for photography and filmmaking. I can promise that I will always be your biggest cheerleader. I will guide you throughout the whole process. I want my couples to walk away with not just great pictures, but with a wonderful client experience.
