Jesslyn McCartney Photography LLC

Richmond, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,100

My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's.

WE LOOVE OUR WEDDING PHOTOS, THANK YOU JESSLYN!!! Not to brag but… we have the best wedding photos ever. And I’m sure you will feel the same way about your wedding pictures if Jesslyn is taking them. We hired Jesslyn for our Save The Date photos and loved them so much we had to have her for our wedding. Our wedding photos are breath taking. She gave the perfect amount of suggestions on pose and background ideas. I usually loathe photoshoots, but our Save The Date and wedding photoshoots were so much fun! Looking back, running off to take photos was the most relaxing and carefree time during the wedding for both my husband and me. Jesslyn has a very professional and calming presence to her which is always a plus during a big wedding. And most importantly, she was really able to capture our love and who we are as a couple. Jesslyn has an amazing eye for detail. We got our photos back promptly. If you want a professional, fun, calming, confidence boosting photographer who takes the most beautiful wedding photos, 10/10 would recommend

If you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins enough!! We hired Stephanie at the recommendation of a friend - and I’m so glad we did!! Putting aside the fact that her photos are STUNNING (which they are), Stephanie had such a relaxing and fun presence that she made taking wedding photos a good time! It’s so clear in both her attitude and her work that she loves what she’s doing, and that makes the whole experience 1000x better. On top of that, her work is simply gorgeous. She has such an eye for angles and poses that really comes through in the photos. Stephanie also sent us a sneak peak gallery the day after the wedding (which is not the norm!), which was so nice and let us relive some of our favorite moments the next day! Stephanie was responsive, professional, and best of all TALENTED. Again, if you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, hire Stephanie!!!

Not only does he take beautiful photos (we have SO many favorites!), every step of the process was fun and absolutely perfect. He is very professional, accommodating, and incredibly detail-oriented, thoughtful and organized--perfect traits for a wedding photographer! Before coming to the wedding he went out of his way and asked if I was hungry or needed something from the store which was very considered. We truly couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day! We cannot thank and praise him enough, and we feel so lucky to have found him for our wedding. I would have a very hard time letting a friend of mine choose a different photographer.

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.

From the moment we reached out, Linda was a dream to work with. She was honest, upfront, and clear about pricing and packages, and worked with us to create the right timeline for our wedding day. She was also incredibly warm and kind throughout. We initially chose Linda because we loved her portfolio of more candid, natural, and photojournalistic/documentary-style images. She brought that same vision to our wedding day, and captured incredible moments for us. During the day, she helped make sure everyone was where they needed to be. She felt like a part of our wedding party. She carried around heavy equipment on a very hot Virginia day in September, and it was very appreciated. She got every shot we had asked for in advance and suggested a few on the fly that became some of our favorites. She got us the photos back in a very timely manner, and it was easy to download and share them with friends and family. We would highly suggest working with Linda for any event and would love to work with her again if we have the opportunity. Working with Linda was a highlight of our wedding process.

Greetings, I've been shooting photography for about 10 years and I love all facets of both the profession and the hobby. From newborns, pregnancies, family portraits, and events. I especially enjoy shooting and being a part of weddings. I can never get over the overwhelming look of enjoyment that all couples have as they view their photos through my eyes. Many people always ask me my favorite question What made you want to become a photographer? Well as a child, I was always captivated by watching National Geographic and Discovery channel with my grandfather.

I grew up as one of the youngest cousins in a big extended family, and holiday gatherings have always been a lively affair. At the dinner table I learned that my favorite part the season was hearing stories be told and watching my family laugh & cry. Since then I've been dedicated to helping others tell their stories, at first with my academic pursuits, and then with my love of cameras and the magic they can create.

    I don't think there are enough positive things that I can say about Megan. My husband and I do not consider ourselves to be "photogenic" at all. However, Megan made the photography process truly enjoyable. From our engagement pictures to our wedding pictures, she made the entire process hassle and pain free. Megan truly listened to what we wanted and was also there to offer suggestions and input of her own, which we truly appreciated. She is extremely responsive, helpful, and organized. Due to COVID, we were constantly shifting our wedding plans and Megan was there every step of the way. Although the day itself was very different than we could have every imagined, Megan captured it beautifully. We love the brightness, colors, and natural beauty that Megan emphasizes in her photography; I truly feel that I am "there again" when I look at what she captured. To summarize, we are extremely pleased in our decision to use Megan Rei Photography. Her prices were competitive and her service is top notch and professional. If you are looking to capture life long memories with an emphasis on color, brightness, and natural beauty, (and have a blast while doing it) look no further! Megan is your gal!

    Hi there, I’m Zaida and I’m a full time wedding, portrait and lifestyle photographer (yes, I do destination weddings) based in Fredericksburg, VA and I do travel wherever you need me! I am married to a handsome man and I’m also a mom. I am from the Dominican Republic, raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I capture special moments with creativity and a uniqueness that separates me from the rest. I love to travel, spend time with my husband, play with my little ones, eat and I have a sweet tooth!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    If you’ve never done a photoshoot with a professional before, Zaida is the best you could ask for! Zaida gave me and my wife the best engagement shoot and the best wedding photos that exceeded our dream expectations. She gave me photos of my wife that I’ll cherish forever, and she even made me look good! I’m camera shy, but Zaida’s demeanor and process are so natural and fun that I often forgot that I was in a photoshoot. If you book her, you’ll be rewarded with a truly joyous experience, and a dreamy gallery of photos too. Her aesthetic simultaneously appears modern and timeless, offering something that 50 years from now will still look good. Additionally, her photos accentuate the nature around, making the subjects appear to belong in the space, rather than seeming inserted. I can’t recommend her enough! P.S. For bigger shoots, her co-photographer is her husband, who is the perfect pairing to Zaida. If you’re able to work with both, that’s even better because the two are so fun and cute together that any awkwardness I felt kissing my wife in front of them was quickly dissipated. Even just talking with them is a great time!

When we had to reschedule due to Covid, we made sure to contact them first to inquire about new dates and availability. We are so grateful for how supportive they were during those uncertain times and how easy they made the process of rescheduling. Des and Raul went above and beyond to make our day special. They were professional, so fun to work with, and knew exactly how to make us feel at ease in front of the camera. We were blown away when we saw the photos!

From the moment we booked our team of Madawn, Ashley and Paul I knew we made the right choice.

The photographers were on time and full of ideas for creative shots that we would probably never have gotten if we didn’t choose CIP.

She and her husband work so seamlessly together and made the photo shoot so comfortable and fun for us, and the photos came out AMAZING. Absolutely gorgeous, impeccable quality, and Alysa got them to us so quickly after the shoot. I cried when I saw them, which made my husband cry. My mom cried. My sisters cried.

Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

    We were fortunate enough to have Randell as our wedding photographer and videographer as I just stumbled to find him in a local wedding facebook group and without a doubt, he is THE BEST! From the moment we met him, it was evident that his professionalism and passion for his craft set him apart. His efficiency on the big day was truly remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring he captured every significant moment without being intrusive. His ability to organize group shots and direct us for those perfect candid moments showcased his experience and expertise. Now, let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of spectacular! The only "problem" Randell presented us with was making every single photo look so incredible that it's nearly impossible to choose our favorites! As an artist myself, to me each image is a work of art, reflecting his keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of lighting and composition. Randell not only delivered on capturing the essence of our wedding day but exceeded our expectations. His creativity and skill turned ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and the timeless images he has given us to cherish for a lifetime. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, look no further than Randell. He's not just a photographer; he's an artist who turns your special day into a visual masterpiece. Thank you, Randell, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

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.

    ABBY IS INCREDIBLE. I booked Abby after another photographer I had booked was no longer able to do the job. I was in such a funk and I was terrified to find someone new. Abby had such a great vibe from the start and her skills are clearly magic. She made us feel comfortable right from the start. We had a blast together at our engagement shoot and I felt so safe for my wedding that I didn’t even feel the need to give her specific “shots” just the overall vibes! She read me and my vibe and knocked it out of the park. She was not just my photographer on my wedding day, she was a friend! I’m so lucky to call her a friend now, even after our wedding! Booking Abby will be one thing you absolutely do not regret! DO IT!

I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

    If you have spent even just a few minutes checking out McKenna's work, it is obvious how good she is at getting her subjects comfortable! Creating images that are playful and honest. Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun. But what you may not be able to see through the limitations of your computer screen, is how she exudes positivity, enthusiasm, and carries a genuine curiosity. Does this sound like someone who you would want at your wedding? I hope so. I have had the pleasure of working along side her while capturing video and I'd happily have her at every wedding taking the photos! Hire her to tell your story.

    I'm a witty human person living with sarcasm, 2 teenagers, a husband, the most adorable pup, and deafening awesomeness. I moved to the States at 9 years old and served in the Marines for 7 years in adulthood. I am too tall for most kid activities and too damn short for most adult activities. I LOVE capturing the raw, unplanned, and candid emotions pouring out of humans. Been doing this sh*t since I was 10 years old! I don't find joy in "cookie-cutter" poses and pictures... I want to capture you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

To live in the moment is my motto, allowing myself to be true to my feelings and always see the bright side of every experience. I've been photographing for 3 years and making friends along the way, creating memories that will withstand the test of time with a touch of art. Let's connect and make beautiful memories!?

    We hired Maria to photograph an engagement session & our wedding (ceremony reception). It's hard to know where to begin because she was so fantastic from start to finish. She was quick to respond and very organized, which made planning very easy. She also has such an open and easy way about her - we asked to do half the engagement shoot with our dog and the other half at a nearby but different location alone and she had no qualms whatsoever and we got some of the best photos of our family from it. My husband and I are strangers to professional photos (so bad at posing) but obviously didn't want that overly posed look - Maria was so great about directing us into poses that felt & looked very natura. Wedding day all of our guests thought she was absolutely lovely (because she is) and she captured such incredible photos, we are so blown away. Not sure how to wrap this up, but overall she is professional & organized, very kind and easy going - such a pleasant vibe to be around, and she genuinely wants to showcase you/your love and capture incredible moments. You'd be silly not to book her!!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Taking pictures with Steph was one of the highlights of our wedding day. From our first chat with her, we felt so at ease. We were confident that she was a total professional that we could trust not only to capture all those “must have” shots but to capture the feeling of the day. We loved Steph’s style of warm and romantic images that carry not just the visuals but the emotions of the moment. Shooting with Steph was so much fun, my husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera but felt so confident and secure with Steph behind the lens. Between our wedding planner and Steph our timeline also ran exactly on schedule which helped give the day a relaxed feel, no small feat! When we received our highlights, the photos honestly took out breath away. They were so much more than we could have hoped for. Every detail of the day was there, all those special little corners and moments that you hope get captured forever. The couple portraits are some of my favorites, they really show how we felt on the day and will be so special to look back on as the years go by. Of course, Steph also made sure we looked darn good! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steph for your wedding and engagement pictures. She delivers the best possible experience and product, in addition to being a super organized professional who will make sure it all goes to plan.

    Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad.

    I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

    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.

    Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

    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. My goal is to capture those raw, honest, and authentic emotions so that twenty years from now, you can look back on these photos and still remember exactly how that moment felt. I hope we share the same goal and that I am the photographer you are looking for.

    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.

    Hey! I'm Valerie. I spend most of my weekends as a creative Virginia wedding photographer, but I also shoot a ton of documentary lifestyle portraits and spend the weekdays photographing small-business marketing content for clients throughout Virginia and DC. I believe in honest portraiture, which basically means capturing YOU, your family, or your business in ways that legitimately feel real. I always want people to feel like they know you when they see an image. Forget the stereotypes of what it's supposed to be. Let's just make real images with real smiles in real situations in real places that matter.

    We loved having Valerie as our wedding photographer. Multiple people commented on how quick she was and we loved our photos. Valerie was communicative and professional. We could not recommend her more!

I love it because I love my people and I love this earth and I love connection and growing things and all I ever want to do is preserve it.

    Cecilia was our wedding photographer’s second shooter and we are so happy to have met her! My husband Earl was quite apprehensive about taking photos (he has about 2 smiles in him and then he’s over it!) but Cecilia hung out with the groom’s party before the ceremony and made all of the guy’s very comfortable and took some great candid photos! During pre-ceremony photos, in addition to taking photos, Cecilia was so kind and helped me with my train/veil when we were walking around the venue finding picture perfect spots! Thank you for making our wedding day so enjoyable, Cecilia!

    I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

    Katie is so fantastic! She is communicative, easy to work with, and takes the most FABULOUS photos! My sister has special needs and getting good photos of and with her for my wedding was one of the most important things to me- and we have the most amazing photos!

I was so tired of working 50-60 hours a week and realized the most important thing to me was to be there to raise my child. So, that was that and here I am.

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.

    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.

    We can’t say enough wonderful things about Justin! My husband and I just got the first batch of our wedding photos, and they look exactly the way the day felt: beautiful, warm, and authentically happy. From our first call, it was clear Justin understood exactly what we wanted from our wedding photos, and from our wedding in general. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, he was kind, respectful, and genuinely interested in getting to know us. By the day of the wedding, we were excited to hang out with him and introduce him to our friends! Justin and Emily made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, and even managed to get our 2 year-old nephew to stand still long enough for some great photos. Working with Justin was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

    Jen & Steve at The Fox & The Hare Photography are AMAZING! Their ability to capture detail is unreal. We scheduled both our engagement session and wedding day with them, and we were blown away by both galleries. They were so much fun to work with, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing our day!
