Winchester, VA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,500

Hi! I'm Carly. ​ I am a Northern Virginia based photographer who combines film and digital photography to create romantic and artistic images that will still be loved in 30 years. As a photographer and a girl who has been a bride herself, I know how important it is to hire someone you trust to document your wedding day. It's more than just an 8 hour day. It's personal. It's catching the in between moments and freezing them in photos...like his reaction when he sees you in your dress for the first time. If you are looking for a wedding photography experience that is full of value and attention to detail, you are in the right place!

Awarded Best of Zola
Professional, creative, and an absolute gem! Carly went out of her way to help my fiancé and I find a place to have our engagement photos when we were in the process of moving from out of state. She took the time to come to our private venue ahead of time to scope out spots for our wedding day photos. She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day and i love looking back at our photos. I highly recommend Carly!

Woodbridge, VA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000

I was born in California and raised in the military. I've always considered myself a global citizen because my family went anywhere the Marine Corps sent us. I'm inspired by people in love, dance, and art. Living in the Washington D.C. area has been the perfect place of inspiration for all of my passions. I believe there’s nothing more beautiful than a genuine smile. I believe in laughing until my eyes water. I believe in not taking yourself too seriously and always having fun. I believe in breakfast for dinner and dessert for breakfast. I love capturing bold images with emotion and style, for couples whose love has been cultivated over time.

Leandra has it all. She's talented, professional, an expert in lighting, kind and fun! We had the most amazing time with Leandra. She is such an incredible photographer and so sweet to be around! We laughed and had fun our entire session and we got so many beautiful photos! Leandra was also so great at finding different locations in Kauai during our anniversary session. She's the entire package and goes above and beyond in everything she does. Go ahead and hire her!!!

Rather than focusing on an artistic vision or the latest trends, I focus on creating timeless, chic, and clean images. My favorite weddings are the ones where classic meets modern and fashion-forward. So, with an eye for detail, a passion for weddings, and over a decade of experience, I see the balance of creating art and preserving priceless memories as a welcome challenge. And I don't cut any corners. The result? Timeless and elegant images full of natural light, dreamy colors, and beautiful textures. And forever keepsakes that remind you of this beautiful day.

When it comes to professionalism, punctuality, effectiveness, a keen eye, and top-tier performance, Hana is your girl! She is sweet, genuine, and an exceptional photographer. My clients absolutely love her. I would definitely recommend her for all of your photography needs!!!

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.

Morgan was incredible. As a bride you're always hoping that you'll have someone in your corner helping keep things on task and making sure everything runs smoothly. Morgan went above and beyond, helping me stay calm and keep everyone one on task throughout the whole day, keeping communication with me to make sure she was getting everything I hoped for, and making sure I was okay emotionally and physically (coming in clutch with a protein bar when no one else had anything ;)). Not to mention traveling all the way to Indiana! I honestly am extremely grateful she was our photographer and wouldn't have hoped for anyone else. She provided us with incredible photos, an incredible experience for our day, helped us feel like we were special, and provided us with memories we can forever look back on. Thank you so much, Zirzow Photography!

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

Beth & the 3Cats group are seriously amazing! We absolutely love having her photograph our weddings. Beth always delivers photo galleries so quickly with high quality, beautiful, stunning work. Not only is Beth an amazing photographer, she is also so very sweet & loving. We cannot recommend her enough!

My best friend gifted me Melanie for my wedding day and I could not be happier! I had a short and sweet, very low key elopement but Melanie made it feel like it was so much bigger and exciting than it really was. She made my husband and I feel comfortable, she talked to us like she's known us for years - to simply put it: she made us feel like we were the only two people in the world that day. AND we had a sneak peak that evening! She captured the most genuine smiles and laughter and we will be cherishing these beautiful photos forever! Which is something cheesy I never thought I would say. 10/10 recommend Melanie!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you.

My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Amber’s ability to capture the honest, meaningful and organic emotions of the day makes her one of the most sought after wedding photographers. She has spent years crafting a unique one of a kind experience for her clients with a combination of digital and film images. Her signature photography style is best described as chic, timeless and natural. She believes a wedding day should be documented through the eyes and heart of her clients, capturing the fleeting moments that they never want to forget.

Amber made me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Taking pictures with her felt so natural, just like she was there to really capture the day rather than us constantly posing, which I really appreciate. I was absolutely stunned when we got our gallery back. The care that Amber puts into composing the perfect image speaks for itself when you see the final product. There was no detail missing and i’m so glad we have these to look back on for the rest of our lives. I recommend Amber to all my newly engaged friends because the experience is unparalleled - she is the best!

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Working with Cassidy was a fantastic experience. He listened to what we wanted, gave us ideas from his experience working at our venue and made us feel completely comfortable. Everyone told us when selecting a photographer to make sure you are comfortable with them since they are involved in some of the most intimate moments of your day - and while that was true - he managed to get so many great shots without intruding or in some cases even being noticed. He caught serious moments, funny private moments and of course all of the formal moments. We have recommended him to multiple friends of ours and will continue to do that moving forward. You cannot go wrong working with Cassidy!

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Hey! I'm Sydney, but most people just call me Syd. I am a wedding and Elopement photographer based in KY & Washington, DC, but ready to jet set wherever you need me. I am an avid yogi, podcast lover, and travel enthusiast. I first picked up a camera at the age of 15 and fell in love with the art of photography. I got my start by photographing portraits of my friends and family. I came to realize that my favorite types of images to capture are the intimate and silly moments between two people in love. My photography style is romantic and timeless. I love working with shadows to get that moody effect that I adore.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sydney on several weddings and a large styled photo shoot. Not only is she extremely talented, but down-to-earth, patient, kind, and caring. She understands that documenting a couple's wedding is about them, and does everything in her power to deliver what they want and what she, as an artist, believes is the best product - all the while staying in the shadows and capturing those true, raw, candid moments.

I love weddings! I love how one single event can be done is so many unique ways to fit each couple and their story. My favorite things to capture during the day are the little details you incorporate to make the day truly yours. My approach is to capture emotion and as much candid interaction and love as possible on your big day while incorporating romantic and fun poses in between.

Yvette arrived early at the location without being asked to scope out spots for cute pictures, she was very kind, fun, and easy to work with. She did not even get the opportunity to meet us before the event, but she just jumped right in and started shooting. We have not seen all the photos yet but the sneak peaks we have gotten were gorgeous, and I’m sure the others will be the same.

It is important to find someone whose work you LOVE — but I also believe that it is just as important to find someone who will bring out the best of who you are within those photos. My favorite quote from Annie Leibovitz is “a thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.” This resonates with every aspect of what I believe in. I find it important to get to know you, find out who you are and what you both are to each other. Photography is my passion — I will never give you anything but my all.

She made sure the photos were fun and natural while also getting the ideal lighting and making us all look 100x better than we normally look. She captured all the magical moments throughout the day and made them into timeless photos that we will treasure forever. She is endlessly talented-from making engagement photos in the hail and snow of ohio look like a beautiful day in the park to whipping out her gardening shears when the flower arrangements don’t go as planned and you need an impromptu floral guru. She makes every single detail perfect and stress free and our wedding day truly would not have been the same without her! Of all my wedding day choices and vendors, Ashley was by far the best one.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with Jacqueline for our wedding this past weekend. She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE. Thank you so much Jacqueline!!!!! - Ben and Lindsay

Akiem has built a young and successful career as a content creator in the professional sports industry. He has worked with respectable brands including, USA Hockey, USA Soccer, NFL Flag, RISE and more. However, during 2020 COVID put a stop on sports, and that allowed him to discover a new passion- an undeniable love for wedding photography and videography “I want my clients to experience my love for creativity and storytelling through serving them on the most important day of their lives.”

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for a photographer on a short timeline- only a couple of weeks until the wedding. A'kiem was willing to work with us on the short timeline and was very fair with pricing! He was timely with his communication and was easy to get a hold of. He is talented in photographing in many different styles/vibes and catered the photos to the style we prefer. I would highly recommend working with him. We did not get to use his services for videography, but with the quality of photography he provided, I am sure his videography would also be fantastic. Highly recommend!

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 AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

As an experienced wedding photographer she was able to gave helpful suggestions and ideas. She went through the shoot list, making sure she knew who everyone was and perfecting the days timeline. She is not only your wedding photographer, but she treats you like you have known her for years. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I cannot recommend her enough.

Hi everyone, I'm Alyssa! I love the fact that photography allows me to capture the beauty of the mundane with powerful story-telling. I get really excited about the beauty in the little things, like glittering dewdrops sitting on blades of grass, the way the sun glistens through the trees during golden hour, the simple act of running barefoot and breathing in fresh mountain air. Whether it is the moment you say ‘I do’ or the smallest in-between moments that make life worth living, I am deeply passionate about capturing the beauty of your story.

I’m AnaGabriele (Ana), and the owner of Unearthed Photographical! My partner and I have been photographing weddings since 2016, when two upcoming brides I’d gone to high school with, saw that I was still taking photos and asked me to photograph their big days! Those two events made me realize how much I absolutely love wedding photography. Since then, we’ve honed in on our craft, learning how to make the process as smooth as possible for all of our clients. We love riding out on the Harley, crafting, and hanging out with our toddlers.

Anna was a delight, professional and my pictures turned out flawless. I’d recommend her to anyone preparing for a major life milestone who wants true art to remember it by.

I fell in love with photography a bit late in my life. The moment I took a professional camera in my hand I knew I want to explore it, learn everything about it and about creating awesome images. I discovered that photography is an amazing tool to be in charge, provoke, remember, create. I photograph weddings because I believe in love and the power of two people becoming one. I love the energy of the wedding day. I am a very active person in my private life and I use this energy to give everything on your wedding day. Sometimes you can see me in two places at the same time :)
