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.”

“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!”

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, and warmth. I can't wait to photograph your story beautifully.

“My fiancé and I are so happy we chose Kelly for our engagement session! From the very beginning, she made the entire process seamless by answering all of our questions, taking the time to understand our vision, and even helping us coordinate our outfits. Kelly is incredibly talented and has such a warm, calming presence that she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She captured us so naturally and truly brought out the best in us. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo was stunning, and we'll cherish these memories forever. We can't recommend Kelly highly enough!”

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!”

She kept the vibe light and fun, even when we were freezing, and somehow made us look fantastic despite the wind trying to steal my veil every five seconds. She handled everything like a pro, made us laugh through the shivers, and delivered photos that made us forget how cold we were. If she can make a winter storm look this good, imagine what she can do on a typical day. Highly recommend!”

I’m Sara, and I’ve been a full-time wedding photographer serving the Maryland, DC, and Virginia regions since 2006. My goal is for you to be fully present during the happiest time of your life while I document your story with a natural, photojournalistic style. Most days, you’ll find me editing with a coffee in hand, but on weekends, I’m running across the DMV to capture the candid moments and soulful details you’ve poured your heart into. I’ve worked through every season and venue over the last 20 years, ensuring every memory is preserved in timeless, high-resolution imagery.

“Working with Sara Vars Photography was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Sara's straightforward communication made the entire process feel simple and stress-free, which was a huge relief as a bride juggling a thousand details. Her knowledge of our venue meant she could work quickly and efficiently, capturing stunning pictures without slowing us down so we could actually be present and enjoy every moment. She helped with things like my veil and made sure we had the perfect sunset shots, and her calm presence kept me grounded throughout the day. Sara didn't add to my anxiety like I worried a photographer might—instead, she made everything feel manageable.

We started off with an engagement shoot that really impressed upon us their desire to know us, our style, and what we envisioned for our big day. They were on top of their communication with us, where we felt like they were going out of their way to keep us updated and engaged. On the day of our wedding, they arrived promptly and did their own thing without disrupting us. Sometimes I even forgot that they were there! One of the things I really appreciated about Alie & Ritchie is that they did a fantastic job keeping to the schedule we had gone over with them. After the wedding, Alie & Ritchie surprised us with a sneak peek a few days later, and the photos were breathtaking.

“If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.”

I am so excited you're here! My name is Erin, and I'm your Washington DC area wedding photographer. I'm a sucker for stunning natural light, and have a passion for preserving precious moments and everyday beauty. Big smiles, infectious laughter, colorful flowers and the clinking of champagne glasses are just a few of my favorite things.

“I had the honor of being Erin’s first wedding she shot when moved to the DC area! Although there are tons of photographers in the area, Erin’s work truly outshined everyone else’s portfolios and I snatched her up before she even moved to Virginia! Erin had never shot at my venue, so she made sure to come to multiple planning sessions with the venue and my wedding planner to scout locations and build my wedding timeline — with a newborn baby! She made the extra effort to support me in ways she DID NOT need to do, but just another reason why she is in a league above the rest. She made me (and my husband, who hates photos) feel so comfortable on our day while not forcing staged photos once we were tired. We even got film photos that were jaw dropping. My gallery had way more photos than I anticipated, and the turnaround time was quick for the full gallery and sneak peeks. I want to get married all over again just to relive her work!!”

Leading up to the wedding, she would check in with us regularly and helped us identify the moments, items, and locations that were most important to us to capture. At the rehearsal and wedding day, she arrived early and blended in seamlessly with our party – making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, while also capturing beautiful candid moments as well.

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!”

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

“We are thrilled with Vanessa Bennish Photography! From the moment we met Vanessa during our engagement photo session, we felt completely comfortable with her. Her warm personality, professionalism, and ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera were immediately evident. The photos she and her team captured on our wedding day are nothing short of stunning. Each shot is a work of art that beautifully reflects the emotions and details of our day. Her composition and editing style are very well balanced and give our images a timeless quality look. We are obsessed with how she and her team told the story of our wedding through their lens— their talent for capturing those intimate moments and candid emotions is unmatched. One of the unique touches that made our experience even more special was Vanessa's ability to shoot in different photography formats and mediums, including 35mm film and Polaroids. This added an extra layer of depth to our photos and truly gave the whole experience the cherry on top! Vanessa, we are immensely grateful for the memories you've given us. We've been going through our photos repeatedly, and each time, we are filled with joy. Thank you so much for everything—you were a dream to work with, and we can’t wait to schedule another session with you in the future! If you're searching for a photographer with an eye for detail, incredible creativity, and a knack for making you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, look no further than Vanessa Bennish Photography. We are extremely happy with our choice and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Vanessa! Kim & Daryl”

“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. The value we received was incredible - the previews we've seen so far are beyond what we could have imagined, perfectly preserving all the special moments that made our day so unique and memorable. I would highly recommend working with Amanda and would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
