Hi, I’m Holly — a wife, a mom of four, and the heart behind Holly Bee Photography. My love for photography began when my kids were little and life was moving just a little too fast. I picked up a camera to freeze those fleeting moments, and I’ve been chasing beautiful golden light ever since. I strive to create a space where everyone feels seen, welcome, and celebrated. Inclusivity is at the core of my work, and it’s important to me that every family, couple, and individual feels at home in front of my lens.

Holly Bee Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Holly was prompt in her communication, kind in her demeanor, and enthusiastic about capturing our special day. Her professional, quick, and personal approach to photography resulted in stunning images that perfectly encapsulate all the moments we wanted to remember. Holly even managed to capture an unexpected and delightful moment when we ended up saving a bird during the wedding. Her ability to be in the right place at the right time is truly impressive. We were thrilled with the quality of our photos and Holly made sure everything was executed exactly as we had envisioned. I would wholeheartedly recommend Holly Bee Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Brightwood, VA

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

Atalie Day Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our first contact, Atalie's communication style was professional yet personal, and she was always easily accessible to answer any questions we had. Her work is truly professional, beautiful, and feels like artwork - Atalie captured every special moment of our day, and her pictures will bring our perfect day back to life every time we look at them. I can't recommend Atalie enough - she is so easy to smile at and work with, and she went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was captured beautifully. Hire Atalie and you'll be thrilled with the results!

As someone who was raised right here in the Shenandoah Valley, amongst the warm and rolling blue-ridged mountains, the beauty in little things became very easy for me to identify. My love for freezing time and catching those tiny details rapidly accelerated through my teen years, as I grew even more sentimental. Which brings me to today, where I am forever spending my days in love with watching people walk through their journey in this world. told ya i was sentimental...

Kristy Good Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Brightwood, VA

I’ve been practicing photography in one form or another for nearly 20 years, alongside a background in graphic design and a bachelor’s degree in art. I don’t approach weddings as a checklist to complete, but as a whole experience to observe and capture creatively. I consider myself an artist as much as a photographer–light, composition, atmosphere, and emotion matter to me just as much as the moments themselves.

Kristy is always wonderful to work with! She has taken many pictures of me and my family. She makes the experience fun and easy going. Kristy is great about getting the pictures back quick and every single photo always looks amazing! She is truly one of the best!

  • Serves Brightwood, VA

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

We absolutely loved working with Hannah (and Anthony, her partner, as second shooter)! Hannah was so on top of all things planning-wise and even helped me to figure out non-photography-related wedding things. She's so friendly and personable, it's amazing how she can really dial in on what you want and need. On the day of our wedding, Hannah was such a calming presence, working with our day-of planner to make sure things went off without a hitch and all the photos we wanted captured were shot. Seriously, cannot recommend Hannah enough!

We are so happy that we went with Sound Originals! The process was extremely smooth and their online platform was so easy to use and update. Everyone on the team was transparent and helpful.

Our photographers were extremely professional and easy to work with and we cannot recommend this company enough!

Erin and the entire OLAS team were an absolute dream from start to finish. From our very first phone call to receiving the final gallery, everyone was kind, professional, and so helpful. Erin was a calming, joyful presence all day long – giving gentle direction exactly when we needed it and somehow making us feel like total naturals in front of the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking. She captured the giggles, the happy tears, the little glances – every moment that made the day feel like pure magic. Steve and I keep saying we’ve never smiled so much in our lives, and now we get to relive it forever because Erin caught our love so perfectly. If you’re getting married: book OLAS. 10/10. Marry your best friend and let OLAS capture it. We’re obsessed and will recommend them to everyone we know! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding day even more unforgettable.

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 ;)

She has this amazing ability to hype you up and make you feel so confident and beautiful, which was exactly what I needed leading up to the big day. The photos she captured are nothing short of magical. They're so dreamy and artistic that I actually got emotional looking through them - she truly has a gift for capturing those precious moments in the most beautiful way. What impressed me most was how she moved like a ninja throughout our entire wedding, getting every single angle and moment without ever being intrusive or in the way. I barely noticed her darting around, yet somehow she managed to capture everything perfectly. I originally discovered Zaida through a friend's wedding she photographed, and seeing her work firsthand convinced me she was the right choice. She's not just a photographer - she's a true artist who brings such a unique level of expertise and dedication to her craft. You can tell she works incredibly hard to deliver something truly special. Working with Zaida was an absolute dream from start to finish.

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.

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.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

Awarded Best of Zola
Bhanu at Eternal Vistas showed he genuinely cared about making our day perfect. He was involved in planning every step of the wedding with us, and even monitored the forecast to suggest we order umbrellas last minute; this was a thoughtful touch that saved us. There were so many thoughtful touches that will not fit in this review (preparing a wedding outline, checking in on our mental health/stress levels when planning, suggesting a song to listen to while we looked at photos, and so many more things!!). We received sneak peek photos in less than 24 hours, and we were absolutely floored by the quality. They are beyond our wildest dreams. We had a main photographer, a videographer, and an assistant (an unexpected bonus assistant, I’ll add). Their attention to detail is clear in every shot, and the whole experience felt effortless. The value we got from working with them was outstanding and truly worthwhile. I could not recommend them enough to any couple looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. My husband and I are grateful for Eternal Vistas and their passion for what they do. Thank you thank you thank you.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.
