Sarah Irvin Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Athens, WV

I feel so honored each time I am chosen to capture one of the best days of your life. I have been shooting weddings for 13 years and continue to learn and grow with each year that passes. When you invest in me, I take it to heart and will give you the best images to hang on your walls forever. While I'm technically there to capture your beautiful images, you'll also find me crying at the daddy-daughter dance, fluffing your dress a lot, and telling your partner things to make you laugh. My editing is true to color. I want you to look back on your day in 10+ years and remember the actual color of all of the details you specifically picked out!

2021 Bride Forever… Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the hardest decisions I had to make, because I knew it was going to be such an emotional day (my mother having a recent and sudden terminal cancer diagnosis) and having a surprise wedding, I needed someone who could capture it perfectly. Sarah did just that—and more. She handled every moment with such grace and gave us photos that are absolutely priceless. Sarah has been capturing all of my family’s special events and portraits for years, and she never fails to overdeliver. I love that her editing style is true to color—it makes every picture timeless and authentic. Even during the most chaotic family sessions, she somehow manages to get the perfect shots (which is no small feat with a squirmy toddler). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my most important memories.

Hi! I’m Erica Agee, owner of Erica Agee photography and I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer. I specialize in weddings and elopements and love capturing special days that will be remembered for generations to come. I’ve been in business for the past decade and with photographing over 100 weddings, they all have something unique.

Erica was so nice and down to earth. She gave us so much information and helped give timeline examples. She was quick to respond to all of my questions and helped me make some last minute ceremony choices. On the wedding day she communicated with me and worked around all the many things going on at once. The photos turned out beautiful but it was Erica herself that was the best part. She listened to our wants and needs for the day and made it effortless.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

We had our Engagement session with James last year in June in Roanoke Virginia.

We laughed a lot and James was so fun to work with! Not to mention the pictures we got back from it were absolutely incredible. I could not recommend James more! Before our wedding James kept in touch and up to date with everything! This helped ease my anxiety before our big day. James arrived ahead of schedule on our wedding day and got started immediately! He is by far our favorite photographer that we have worked with and we will definitely be making trips to Roanoke in the future just to book sessions with him because yes we love him that much!

She was such a joy to work with, and I'll definitely be recommending Together and Unscripted to others in the future!

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

I’m a Virginia-based photographer specializing in elopements and small weddings, capturing genuine and meaningful moments across Washington D.C., Virginia, and Maryland. More than just a photographer, I help guide couples from iconic city landmarks to scenic nature spots, making sure they have the best time on their elopement adventure. I’ve been telling real love stories since 2014, and as an eloping bride myself, I know how important it is to feel supported and free to celebrate your day your way. I’m here to create an experience that feels effortless, intentional, and unforgettable.

Ahh, what can I say about my favorite photographer!!! I've already done 3 beautiful shoots with her, one photo more beautiful than the other and they always become my screensaver for everything, cell phone, computer, iPad!!! Her work is incredible, she's always super patient, helps with every pose... gives tips on what to do as it's very common for us to be shy in front of the camera. Besides that, the way she delivers the photos shows love in every detail, beautiful details by the way. I highly recommend having your photos with her, she's the best.

I am a wedding and portrait photographer serving Virginia and beyond. I have been taking photos since I was able to hold a camera and am so incredibly passionate about capturing moments and storytelling through the art of photography!

From the moment we reached out to Megan for our engagement photos, we were impressed by her clear, prompt, and fun communication style. Megan has a bubbly, celebratory energy that made the photo session an absolute joy. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous - Megan has a great eye for beautiful shots. While we ultimately went with a different photographer for our wedding day due to budget constraints (he is a friend of a friend who is a professional and offered us a discount we couldn’t not accept), I am confident Megan would have done an incredible job capturing all the special moments of our big day. Her affordable and stunning portfolio make her an excellent value for any couple planning their wedding.

The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - the candids captured the spirit of our day beautifully, and the editing is simply stunning. Cierra delivered amazing shots that we'll cherish forever. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
