James Carroll Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Blacksburg, VA

I’m a wedding photographer based in Virginia, and I care more about how your day felt than how perfectly it followed a plan. I show up calm, pay attention, and let things unfold naturally; giving direction when needed and stepping back when it’s not. I’m drawn to the in-between moments: the laughter, the quiet breaths, the way your people show up for you. Weddings are emotional, chaotic, joyful, and imperfect, and I’m comfortable in all of it. If you want a photographer who feels more like a steady presence than a vendor, you’re in the right place.

James is absolutely amazing! We hired James a little over a year ago for our wedding! We were not getting married in our hometown so we decided to find someone in the town would get married in! We had our Engagement session with James last year in June in Roanoke Virginia. We were nervous before going, because sometimes the first session with a new photographer can be a little uncomfortable. Ours was FAR from it! We had the absolute best time! 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! We got our wedding pictures back and they are absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better! We highly recommend booking James! You will not be disappointed at all! He is simply the best!

We had such a great experience with OLAS! Our photographer, Jasmine, was a very calming and helpful presence during the day. She was professional and patient and worked collaboratively with us and our families to adjust to our shot needs and any other minor chances. She also gave clear directions on how to pose! The photos came out really wonderful - we love the warmer tones and Jasmine captured the joy, fun, and touching moments really well. The OLAS team was very professional from beginning to end and we appreciated the level of detail through the planning process.

MEGAN WAS AMAZING!!!! We cannot sing the praises of her and her team enough. Her photos are incredible -- we literally cannot stop looking at them, and we are so grateful we selected her for the memories that we will frame on the wall and review for years to come. But even more than her amazing photography was how wonderful she is to work with! From our first Zoom call, she was immediately just so much fun to talk to. Something to think about: Your photographer follows you around your entire wedding day, so you need someone you feel comfortable with! Megan immediately put us at ease. We had a blast with her on the engagement photoshoot (we went to waterfall at sunrise!) and we had a blast planning out all our wedding shots with her. At the wedding itself, her team was so professional and endlessly kind. They never made the wedding feel awkward or had to "stop the action" for a shot. She delivered an AMAZING gallery for us in a timely manner with the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken in our lives. She captured all the special moments and managed all our family dynamics. We would book Megan again 100000 times. Also, as a queer couple, she was so affirming and made us feel so comfortable. We love you Megan 3 Can't wait to book a newborn shoot one day ;)

Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding! Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber.

Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

Your wedding day is a whirlwind of family and friends, vows and true love, good food and of course lots of cake! With a wedding photographer, all the beautiful moments can be captured and remembered forever. Pop of Molly Photography focuses on candid photography encapsulating the bride and groom and wedding guests enjoying the moment and being their own beautiful selves. Focusing on candid photography doesn't mean I won't take the time to sit down with you and go over the "must have" shots, list of family members and wedding party, and ensure I have photos of all your Pinterest board "dream wedding" photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Molly was the best photographer we could have asked for. She was a calming and friendly presence as soon as she arrived. My husband and I did not have a super thorough plan and Molly had no problem just doing her thing. And her "thing" is being an incredible photographer. We loved the candid photos she captured of not only us but our loved ones. She is incredibly easy to work with and made our wedding experience so wonderful. I know that the pictures Molly took will be cherished for the rest of our lives and in the lives of those who love us. Molly also made the preparation process incredibly easy. She has a great understanding of how hard wedding planning can be and how expensive. The results of her work are completely worth the (very reasonable) price.

Hi! I'm Brayley, owner of Focused On Life Photography LLC, a Full-Time, Published, Destination Wedding + Lifestyle Photography business, & I would LOVE to be your wedding photographer! Since 2023, we at FLP LLC have been focused on capturing all of life's precious milestones in a natural, earthy, classic & candid style.

With us, you don't need to worry about things like how to pose -- all you need to do on your day is smile & relax! We'll take it from there.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.

Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph.

I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

Working with her was a pleasure, she is communicative, and made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. Not to mention she was such a lovely presence at our wedding, our family still talks glowingly about her two months later. Overall we cannot praise Jesslyn enough, we would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae and her team captured us so gracefully on our special day!!! As a queer couple, we had such a fun time getting to know Mae and her team, and felt so comfortable being captured by them. We loved having them there to memorialize us not only on camera but in polaroid and super8 as well. Mae is so skilled at capturing their client in the moment to create beautiful and unique photographs that will be cherished forever. We are still waiting on our full gallery, but are so satisfied on what we’ve received already!!!

I am so thankful to liz & her co photographer for capturing our special day. She was always accessible , and extremely helpful. Whether it was helping me find an outfit for engagement photos, to finding the right place to take them. While preparing for the wedding I would send her videos and FaceTime her at my venue walk throughs, so she could get an idea of where she could capture the best photos on our wedding day. On wedding day she was on them , and with us all day. I also loved how we got a handful of sneak peaks within 48 hours so we could have an idea of all the magical moments she captured. She had a positive attitude from the moment I met her and really made me feel like she loved what she did and wanted to capture all our special moments. My living room is full of all of our amazing wedding photos. Thank you so much Liz !!

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.

We had an amazing experience with Stephanie! She is very professional, friendly, and kind, which made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She really knows what she’s doing — from helping us with natural poses to capturing the most perfect moments. She also helped us choose the location for our elopement, making our special day feel truly unique and memorable. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the entire experience. She’s simply wonderful!

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Abby shot our wedding in April and she was amazing! So easy and fun to work with. We live in a different state so I was a little nervous about it but Abby was so communicative, prepared, and reassuring - making sure we knew her travel plans, backup plans, etc. She gave us a handful of instant photos during the reception which was such a fun touch!! Sneaks were delivered within a day of the wedding and the final photos were sent within a very reasonable timeframe. Not to mention they came out great! Highly recommend working with Abby!
