We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Michelle as our wedding photographer. She captured not only the two days of our wedding weekend but also our bridal shower and engagement shoot, and we are beyond thrilled with the results. Michelle’s kindness and thoughtfulness shone through in every interaction. She truly cared about us and always put us first, making sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout the process. From the very first meeting, Michelle embraced our untraditional approach to our nuptials and celebrations! She took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and her attention to detail ensured that every moment we cared about was perfectly documented. Her professionalism and skill are unmatched. Whether it was the candid emotions of the bridal shower, the intimacy of our engagement shoot, or the grand celebrations of our wedding weekend, Michelle captured it all with a keen eye and an artistic touch. The photos are stunning and timeless, each one telling a story and bringing us right back to those special moments. What truly set Michelle apart was her ability to seamlessly blend into the events while still capturing every important detail. She managed to be everywhere at once without being intrusive, and her calm demeanor was a steadying presence during such a busy time. She was a safe face/person that weekend for sure! We are so grateful to Michelle for not only her work but the friendship we have created with her! She gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about her clients, Michelle is the one!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,150

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!

Kelly Wineinger Creative, LLC

Alexandria, VA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800

My love for photography first started in a high school darkroom, but it took several years and life experiences before I took this love to a professional level. After losing a parent a few years before my own wedding, my desire to capture special moments became not only a passion but a necessity. I discovered a newfound sense of presence and purpose, as well as a desire to bring back that childlike joy that so many of us lose in adulthood. As your photographer, you can count on an experience and photos filled with intention, joy, play, and warmth. I can't wait to photograph your story beautifully.

From our very first conversation, it was clear that our photographer was organized, honest, and incredibly professional. She was transparent throughout the entire process, answered every question we had, and made us feel completely confident that we were in good hands. On our wedding day, Kelly worked so naturally that we hardly noticed she was there. She was wonderfully self-sufficient, knowing exactly where to be without needing direction, and she captured so many genuine, candid moments without disrupting the celebration. We were able to stay fully present with our family and friends while trusting that every important memory was being documented. The final photos perfectly reflect the joy and emotion of our day, and we are so grateful to have such beautiful memories to look back on. We can't recommend Kelly enough to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also a true professional to work with.

Daniela Zapata Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Alexandria, VA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500

My Name is Daniela, but my friends call me Dani. I am passionate about being a wedding photographer, and also feel incredibly lucky to call it my career. My favorite part of this work has nothing to do with cameras. It's the love stories. The specific, particular, unrepeatable fact of two people looking at each other and deciding "it's you". That kind of commitment is one of the most beautiful things humans do, and I don't take lightly that you're letting me be there for it.

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

Hi I'm Christian! I am a wife, and mother of four who loves any adventure with a passport involved. I am a huge travel junky who loves exploring new places, food, and culture. I fell in love with photography while traveling the world as a child. Years later, I tell the unqiue love stories of stylish, wanderlust couples, who are madly in love. I absolutely love photographing weddings and the relationships I build with the couples I serve. On wedding days you can catch me with two cameras on each hip making sure that every detail is captured.

I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Christian Nwuso Photography as her makeup artist for a client project. As a photographer, Christian proved her ability to be an asset to any client or project that she has worked on. Christian is diligent and extremely committed to her work. Her professionalism and organizational skills became apparent when we worked together due to an extremely tight schedule for the day. I witnessed how she was able to smooth out the “kinks” when scheduling delays occurred which allowed the day to run in a more efficient manner. Christian delivered proactive solutions in a highly stressful situation, which resulted in a positive response and work environment. Christian has demonstrated reliability, trustworthiness and has an excellent work ethic and passion for photography. I am constantly impressed with her dedication to her craft as well as her clients. I have witnessed her go above and beyond for them. In addition to these great qualities, Christian has displayed great enthusiasm and initiative; she has excellent people’s skills and has a very friendly and outgoing personality. I am sure that she will be a highly talented asset to any prospective client. Christian has an abundance of positive qualities and I respect her greatly. I felt honored to be asked to provide this recommendation and hope that the information that I provided helps to understand what an outstanding professional Christian Nwuso really is.

While I take a variety of photos, I stay in the background, moving fluidly throughout the day. My goal is to preserve those fleeting moments, often capturing details you might not have noticed in the excitement of the day. My role also is to make your day stress-free. Whether it's helping direct family for portraits or keeping things running smoothly, I'll be by your side to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

It would be an honor to document the significant moments in your life. I believe each event deserves to be celebrated with heartfelt enthusiasm and attention to detail.

Awarded Best of Zola
As you’ll come to see with vendors, not all of them are very responsive, Barbora was always responsive no matter what time I texted her and had a question to ask her prior to the wedding. She’s punctual (something I care a lot about), she’s very organized (had a timeline and stuck to it) she is also very reliable so that made me comfortable. On the wedding day, she was a delight to be around. She worked so so hard. I literally got to a point where I had to remind her to go have her meal. She took what I thought were beautiful pictures. I wanted spontaneous and organic pictures and she captured just that. I am very awkward in front of the camera (and so is my husband), she helped direct us and made us comfortable. I also wanted pictures in front of the DC monuments, as you can imagine they’re crazy busy on the weekend but she managed to direct us along with the rest of our group and took some of the most beautiful photos (I thought). What I valued the most about Barbora is that it felt like she genuinely cared. It wasn’t a job that she had to go to, she really enjoyed what she was doing.

I’m a Washington, DC–based portrait photographer, and weddings are among the assignments I cherish most. It’s a privilege to capture such a defining moment in a couple’s life with images that stand the test of time.

I genuinely can't say enough good things about François and the photos he took at our countryside wedding. From start to finish, he was so easy to work with: attentive, graceful, never intrusive. It really shows in the final album. He captured everything: the venue, the big moments, and portraits of guests from both sides of the family. What I love most about his portraits is that nobody looks stiff or posed. Somehow he manages to bring out each person's personality, which is such a rare thing. And the venue shots! He clearly had an eye for the light, catching it at that golden late-afternoon moment when everything just glows. There's so much happiness in these photos. I keep going back to the album, and every time it feels like reliving the day all over again. Couldn't recommend François more highly!

Amanda was the best choice for our wedding photographer. I was overwhelmed by the cost of other photographers and often felt like photos were too posed or stiff. We also had a lot of family dynamics to work with with several blended families. But Amanda's calm, kind, and patient personality immediately put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, Amanda blended seamlessly into the guests, capturing the most beautiful, fun, and editorial shots without us even realizing she was there.

Those moments are the ones you'll want to remember for the rest of your life. Outside of photography I love working with the elderly, spending time with my family and friends, and traveling anywhere!

I’m Devin Mickens — an internationally recognized, award-winning wedding photographer ranked among the Top Ten Wedding Photographers in the World across four separate categories on One Eyeland. My work is defined by cinematic lighting, refined storytelling, and an editorial aesthetic that captures both emotion and elegance in every frame. From intimate local celebrations to breathtaking destination weddings, I’m passionate about creating timeless imagery that feels as real as the love it represents. My approach is personal, artful, and intentional — every photo is designed to make you feel something for a lifetime.

We brought Devin out for our destination wedding, and he absolutely blew us away. From the first consultation, he understood our vision perfectly. He scouted locations, managed the timeline seamlessly, and captured every detail — the colors, the energy, the atmosphere — like a movie scene. Devin has that rare mix of professionalism and creativity that makes the whole experience fun and stress-free. The images he delivered are beyond anything we dreamed of. Every time we look through our gallery, it feels like we’re right back in that moment. He’s truly one of the best photographers in the world.

The moments that matter most deserve to be preserved with the same care they were experienced. Whether you're celebrating your wedding or a meaningful season of life, my philosophy is simple: create timeless photographs that grow more cherished with every passing year.

She took our family photos, and they came out absolutely amazing! The quality is so clear, and every picture turned out beautifully. She also did an incredible job with our daughter’s 6-month photo shoot. She was patient, professional, and captured such precious moments that we’ll cherish forever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality photos!
