Bethesda, MD
  • Photojournalistic style

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t recommend Nina more! All of the photos she took for our August 2025 wedding were absolutely stunning! She was so easy to work with, made us two camera-shy people comfortable throughout everything, and went above and beyond (including visiting our venue which she hadn’t shot at before beforehand to scope out her shots). Thanks again Nina!

Cloudfields Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,450

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!

We had such a great experience with our photography and videography team! We worked with two photographers, Evelyn & Geneva, and one videographer, Bogdan. All three were incredibly professional, kind, and patient—especially when it came to wrangling our families for group shots. From the very beginning, the communication was thoughtful and organized. We had initial and week-of calls with Evelyn and Bogdan, which helped align our vision and made us feel confident going into the day. We sent Evelyn ideas and poses we liked beforehand, and she was able to recreate many of them throughout the day. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we’re so excited to see our wedding video as well!!

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was great to work with Cesar. From the moment we had our introductory call with him, we were drawn in by his authenticity, humor and laid back energy. We knew he was a good fit for a day that we wanted to keep positive, low-stress, and focused. When it came time for him to give instructions for couple and family shoots, he was confident and cool. In fact, many of our guests went out of their way to share how impressed they were with Cesar. He did a great job capturing our daytime wedding despite the quick change from cloudy and rainy to a bright springtime sun. He struck the perfect balance of positioning himself well to get great shots without being conspicuous or obtrusive. I plan to hire Cesar for other events in the future and recommend that my friends do the same.

Natalie was truly one of the best parts of our wedding day. She didn’t just capture the most beautiful moments — she helped create them. From the very beginning, she made me feel so comfortable and confident, which meant so much because I usually hate being in front of the camera. She has such a calm, kind, and encouraging presence that instantly puts everyone at ease. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about her for days after the wedding — not just because of her talent, but because of the energy and joy she brought to the day. Natalie isn’t just a photographer; she genuinely feels like a friend who’s in your corner, cheering you on and making sure every memory is preserved perfectly. When we got our sneak peeks back, I was completely blown away. Every image transported me right back to those moments — the laughter, the love, the emotion — everything. Her photos allow me to relive the day over and over again, and I’m endlessly grateful for that. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel confident, capture your love story authentically, and go above and beyond to make your day special, Natalie is the one. I can’t recommend her enough.

We are professionals at everything that we do and stay connected with couples before and after the Big Day.

Precious Pics White Glove was a great choice for our wedding photography. I liked their communication style, they were responsive and kept us informed throughout the process. The quality of their work was just as I wanted, capturing all the special moments beautifully. They provided a detailed timeline to help keep us on schedule, which was really helpful. My only wish is that our wedding videos were a bit longer, as I think there was more footage they could have included. However, they explained this would affect the overall look, so I understand their decision. Overall, our experience with Precious Pics White Glove was very positive and I would recommend them to other couples.

Lindsay and Greg have been a pleasure to work with so far! My fiance had them there to photograph our proposal and I liked them so much that we booked them for our engagement and wedding sessions as well. We are both slower to open up type of people and Lindsay and Greg have been really easy to talk to. We didn't feel awkward and were comfortable with them. We have some beautiful photos and everyone has complimented their work. I can be anxious, but Lindsay has been really easy to work with. She has a calm presence and I really like how she's set me at ease! Lindsay and Greg targeted their work to match things that we wanted to incorporate. I shared some Pinterest images with Lindsay and she saved them and actually posed us in them during our session! I offhandedly mentioned one of my favorite shots from our proposal during our engagement shoot and they came up with something so cute to do that matched the vibe of that right then and there! I also was honest with Lindsay about poses I didn't like up front and she made sure to pose me in a way that I felt like allowed me to be more confident and comfortable. We can't wait to see what they can do at our wedding!

We preferred to have photographers who were more in the background to capture our special moments instead of actively posing us and we were very happy that this aligned with Anji and Pete’s style. Whenever we had specific questions, they would have blog posts or answers right away to make the whole process go smoothly. Our families and us absolutely loved all of the photos we received from our engagement shoot and wedding. Fingers crossed that we never need wedding photographers again but if we did we would definitely choose Anji and Pete.

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I captured my first wedding in 2016 and I was instantly in love with being a wedding photographer!

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we LOVE our photos. She truly captured the emotions of the day and the essence of all the people we love the most. Any time i look at our photos, i find myself involuntarily smiling. She captured the classic posed photos AND the precious in-between moments where people are being their most authentic selves (the face my dad makes when he's really intently listening, the hand gestures my mom uses when she's explaining something and can't find the right words, the face my mother in law makes when she's cracking herself up, the face my father in law makes right before the tears fall, and so so many more). Not ONLY are her photos amazing, but she made us feel so relaxed on the day-of. Her style is totally unobtrusive, which is just what we needed. Darcy got such amazing photos of all our guests we put 4x6" prints in our thank you cards and people were SO appreciative. She's on fridges across America. Comments we've gotten in response to Darcy's photos: "WOW your photographer is phenomenal", "this is the best photo of us in existence", "you guys look so happy!", "I feel like the photographer really captured your personalities" If capturing joy is important to you, hire Darcy. My only regret is getting her for 7 hours instead of 9.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

I can't recommend Stephanie enough. We decided at the last minute that we wanted a photographer at our small ceremony--Stephanie was able to fit us in and work with our schedule (and perhaps haphazard planning!). Day of, she arrived early and quickly set to work capturing some wonderful moments. Her presence was both joyful and calming. We are so grateful for her participation that day. AND her photos are WONDERFUL!! 3 3
