  • Serves California, MD

Hi, I’m Alina, the photographer behind Alina Phillips Photography. I photograph weddings, intimate celebrations, and elopements throughout DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Planning my own micro-wedding showed me how meaningful it is to celebrate in a way that feels true to you. My approach is warm, relaxed, and focused on real moments, with gentle guidance so you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’m here to capture the people, emotions, and little details that make your day yours.

“One of the things we loved most about Alina was how effortlessly she worked with all the different personalities in our families. Weddings can get hectic with so many moving parts, but she stayed positive and patient the whole time, keeping everything flowing without ever making us feel rushed. She was especially great with our big group of groomsmen who honestly had no idea what to do...she guided them with ease and kept things fun, and the photos turned out amazing. We all look so natural in the pictures, and they truly captured the joy of the day. Alina’s energy, warmth, and professionalism made such a difference, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.”

“Choosing Jennifer Mummert for our elopement at Fall Creek Falls was the best decision we made. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive and helped us navigate everything with ease. Jennifer is so much more than just a photographer—she is a true adventure guide. She and her assistant went completely above and beyond, hiking out to remote, breathtaking locations with all of their equipment just to get the perfect shots. On the day of our wedding, she made us feel completely comfortable, relaxed, and natural in front of the camera. To top it all off, the fast delivery of our sneak peek pictures made sharing the exciting news on social media fast and easy! Jennifer captured the stunning scenery of Fall Creek Falls perfectly, but more importantly, she captured the raw emotion and magic of our day. The final photos blew us away. The lighting, the composition, and the moments she caught are absolutely beautiful.

I'm just an average gal who's a sucker for the simple things in life. Chances are if I'm not hunkered down getting shit done at my desk, I'm out exploring or swinging in my hammock next to a nice watering hole. Anywhere in nature makes me happy but I love me a good mountain view - extra brownie points if those mountain views are in the PNW because its my extra happy place. I've been kickin' it at this whole photography thing for 4.5 years now and it's easily one of the happiest things in my life!

“Working with Candace Nicole Photography was such a breeze from start to finish. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and made sure we knew exactly what to expect on our wedding day. During the shoot, Candace had a gift for putting everyone at ease and turning the whole thing into something enjoyable rather than stressful. Her photos are truly stunning—elegant and detailed in all the right ways, capturing moments we'll treasure forever. The final images exceeded what we hoped for, and we couldn't be happier with the quality. We'd recommend Candace to any couple looking for a photographer who's both professional and a joy to work with.”

Hi. I'm Teresa. While photography is a part-time job for me, documenting your stories doesn't ever get treated like it's not important. My full-time gig is teaching high school English and journalism at an all-boys school in Washington, DC. Journalism is my favorite subject to teach because it is as much about writing as it is about the art of observing the world, and I became a photographer because of my experiences in photojournalism.

“From the moment we booked TCJ Design for our wedding photography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Teresa demonstrated clear, frequent communication and was a great listener throughout the entire process. Their work is simply beautiful, timeless, and captivating. For our engagement session, Teresa really delivered on our by the water/Maryland theme, capturing stunning shots that felt so true to us as a couple.

First, Amber as a person is incredibly positive, enthusiastic, and supportive — she never shoots down your ideas. She’s a kind and hardworking mom. As a professional, she takes her art very seriously. You can tell she thoughtfully tailors each shoot to match your preferred aesthetic and really curates to your vibe. Her editing style perfectly captured the colorful, romantic, boho look I envisioned. Her editing and photoshop skills are unmatched: she somehow makes you look and feel like the absolute best version of yourself. She executed every specific shot I wanted along so many creative ideas of her own. I fully trusted her. We could not be more thrilled with both our engagement shoot and our wedding gallery.

My love for photography started in my early youth when I would visit my grandmother during summer vacations. She had about 3 to 4 wonderful family albums. My favorite albums were the ones where I saw gramma's old pictures taken in the early 1900’s. I would ask who those people were and she would tell me while including the stories behind the photos. What kid doesn’t like stories? Those family albums rapidly connected me with our family's history and the stories brought the photos to life. My great grandmother has a face, not just a name.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
“We were so glad we chose Lotus Photography for our wedding day. From the start, Georgette listened to what we wanted and made sure every moment we cared about was captured beautifully. She had a real gift for noticing the small details that made our day special, and she knew exactly how to help us feel confident and gorgeous in front of the camera. She was supportive throughout the whole process and answered all our questions with real knowledge about her craft. Looking at our photos now, we can see how much care she puts into her work. My husband and I would recommend Lotus Photography to any couple looking for a photographer who truly gets what matters!!”
