Booking LT² Photography for our wedding was the perfect choice! LaDonna and the LT² team ensured a flawless experience for our photography and video. They were so accommodating and respectful of my elderly grandparents the whole day. Their relaxed demeanor and skillful presence beautifully captured all the most special moments of our day. LaDonna's assistant made our family photos a breeze—corralling my cousins and aunts, telling jokes to keep people from wandering off. This Dream Team is the perfect picture of efficiency! They made our entire experience genuinely enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you for expertly capturing our cherished moments. A solid 5 stars!

Her cheerful demeanor and ability to guide us without making us feel pressure made the process of planning a large winter wedding extremely easy. She was thorough, transparent, and a joy to work with! She checked in with us multiple times during the day to make sure our vision was captured.

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.

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.

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.

Being a mother, wife, and believer in Jesus has made me see the beauty of tears, smiles of joy, and bonds of union between two people ready for their new journey. A wedding is a celebratory day that everybody needs to remember as if it were yesterday, and that’s the reason why I love to capture real moments and transform them into memories. I will trace a timeline with the photos of your big day, and it will be like returning to the most beautiful day of your life. Because the things you live, I living them through my eyes.

I met Nia at a networking event in Richmond, VA and our energy matched so well that we exchanged numbers and planned to see one another again in DC. During weddings, events, headshots, you name it, Nia will always have a smile on her face. She commands the attention of the room to ensure we are running according to schedule and as a wedding coordinator it is extremely helpful. I appreciate her kindness and ability to have fun even in the most stressful situations. I can't wait for us to work together again. Hire her--best decision of 2024!

Angela is a DREAM to work with and the sweetest of sweethearts. We received our sneak peek one week out and received almost 100 photos! I recommend Angela to anyone who wants a light and airy photography style.

Wes Shinn Photography & Film

Moyock, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

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.

Wes was great to work with. His work and photos speaks for themselves as to how beautiful his work is. He loves to captures kodak moments along with very artistic photos. He checks in every now and then before your big day. You also have one last talk before the big day to go over a few things and to talk about what you want. Highly recommend and you will not be disappointed!

WE'RE MARIA AND RICARDO, WE ARE HUSBAND AND WIFE AND THE HEART BEHIND THE PICTURES. WE ARE BASED IN NYC AND TAKE WEDDING COMISSIONS ALL AROUND THE US AND ABROAD BUT WE ARE ORIGINALLY FROM SPAIN AND PUERTO RICO MARIA IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, ALL THE IMAGES ARE TAKEN AND EDITED BY HER. RICARDO IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER AND RUNS THE BUSINESS AND MAKES SURE EVERYTHING GOES AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

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. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning.

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.

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)

My passion is to capture the laughter, embraces, tears, and little moments occurring throughout your wedding day - I strive to create photographs that reflect the beauty that exists in the world around us, and provide something that each family would be proud to pass down from generation to generation.

Cat of SilverFire Photography has mastered her craft. She truly has an eye for photography and an artistry for capturing beautiful moments. We can’t stress how EASY and fun it was to work with her. Even after we spoke with her via zoom on our initial scouting phase for a photographer - my now husband and I instantly knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. She just has this genuine attitude towards things that is so infectious! We have lost count of the number of times people have said during and after our wedding how much they loved our photographer. We really appreciate how intuitive she is and her direction for poses was incredibly natural and endearing. She knows how to take the beautiful posed-photos as well as the candid b-rolls. We also booked the photo booth package and our guests loved it so much! It was such an honor to have her photograph our wedding. We also are thankful for her second shooter Jonathan who assisted in everything! The photos she gave were so beautiful. We were speechless and over the moon at these priceless forever moments she was able to capture. Seriously, you won’t regret having Cat/Silverfire be your official photographer. We’re beyond grateful, thank you for doing what you do. We wish you more success and you’ve made Alex and I forever happy with these photos, Cat!

While Caitlin spent time with me pre-ceremony, Devin was with the groomsmen, so we have amazing photographs of both getting ready areas and double the pictures of the ceremony and reception. Both of them worked far beyond what a photographer could be expected to do and filled in gaps that I didn't even know I had in the planning.

I'm Katie and I've been a wedding photographer for over ten years now. In that time I've been lucky to photograph nearly 200 weddings all over the East coast and the world! I love to approach each wedding day as though I were telling the story to someone who wasn't there...which to me means capturing a mixture of the little details you worked so hard to choose as well as those little in between moments that happen as the day unfolds. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can find me shopping at Trader Joe's, planning my next trip, or cuddling with my cat, Lucy!

I had the pleasure of working with Katie Nesbitt over the course of several years and have watched her talents evolve in the process. Katie's eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with. She deftly navigates complex family dynamics, moves swiftly through portrait sessions, and knows when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. She has a way of elevating our charming, little farm venue through her lens and makes it look sophisticated and refined! I was always impressed by the mix of candids, posed shots, and details she captured throughout the day. Beyond that, she is punctual, communicative, dependable, and complimented every single vendor team she has been paired with for our couples! In fact, I hired Katie as my own wedding photographer for my 2020 (now 2022) wedding because I was so impressed with her professionalism behind the scenes as well as her work. I've loved working with Katie in this capacity, especially during these complicated times, because every communication reminded me that she cared, listened, was flexible as we were forced to change our plans. The next steps were clearly outlined, so we were never left wondering what was going on. It made us feel that we were being guided by a true professional through a process she was a master at! I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.

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 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. 

AMAZING! Amanda does such an amazing job of making you feel comfortable not to mention the pictures are just gorgeous, we couldn’t be more happy with our engagement and wedding pictures. She did a great job capturing the whole day and all the excitement behind it.

I am a photographer born and raised in Queens, NY yet now residing in the Hampton Roads, VA area. I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, a husband, and a father of four wonderful kids. I've been a photographer since 2016. I enjoy capturing those candid moments because those are special moments in time that can't be recreated or duplicated. I started New Light Creation Photography shortly after I began taking pictures. I came up with the name because, as we often see some things in black and white I seek to offer a third option. Or shall I say a new light if you will? I want to offer a different way of how you view yourself and how others see you.

After shooting weddings throughout high school, I set my camera down when I went to college. I thought I would go, get a corporate career, and just take gorgeous photos of my kids (currently 2 cats and 2 dogs) one day. Three degrees later, the corporate life was draining. My love for telling love stories had never went away. When I picked up my camera again, I felt at home. I’ve run wholeheartedly into this dream and I belong here. Telling love stories, making fast friends, documenting your favorite moments, adventuring through the woods, meeting all the dogs - this is my home.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

My husband and I decided to elope. Being that we eloped, I had no one to help me get ready for our small ceremony, and Ali immediately became my honorary bridesmaid. She ran around looking for items or products I needed, all while capturing precious moments. I am forever grateful for her help on such an emotional day. As a photographer, she worked with the lighting in ways I would have never known were possible. We got married on a boat, and she worked with the captain to ensure that the boat was in the proper position in the ocean for best lighting . Truly amazing. It was such a pleasure to work alongside Ali; she made two camera shy people like ourselves effortlessly take pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

I'm just here to say, if you're looking for an engagement photographer, wedding photographer, bridal shoot or any other of your photography needs, Diana knocks it out of the park every time. Feel awkward? Not sure how to stand or hand placements? Need your dress fluffed? Someone to help herd people out of your bridal suite? Someone who will be caring and take time to get to know you individually and as a couple? Diana is absolutely it! She quickly became a friend after hiking up in the dark with us to get a sunrise engagement shoot. She went above and beyond for us every step of our engagement and wedding. Her wonderful personality and infections smile will keep you feeling comfortable around her. I truly cannot recommend her enough!
