Hello! I'm Cierra, a published wedding and portrait photographer that serves West Virginia and beyond. I've been photographing weddings since 2019 and would love to capture your special day!

We had a wonderful experience working with Buonamici Exposures for photography at our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was helpful, experienced and professional - they know weddings inside out and offered great advice. On the big day, they were extremely kind and friendly with us and our guests while still being focused and efficient. The quality of the photos is fantastic - very crisp, vibrant and artistic. They perfectly captured the emotions and special moments of our wedding. We'd highly recommend Buonamici Exposures to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to beautifully photograph their memories.

Augy Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

HOWDY! I'm Dom, a wedding, event, and portrait photographer of Northeast PA. To describe myself and my work in one word, I'd say I am PASSIONATE. I love everything about LOVE and the journey. To be one with life and nature. I am always seeking new opportunities and adventure. I believe that my work is for the wildly in love, the crazy about each other, the ones who dream of a happy loving beautiful life together, the soul mates. I want to be able to tell the story of two lovers. I find it is very important for a bride to get to know their photographer before their wedding day since we are with them all day long.

Dom listened to my insecurities and took beautiful photos. He was fun to work with and returned our photos in a timely manner! His wedding photos are incredible as well. Definitely book him!

My name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the owner and photographer of Jennifer Mary Photography and specializing in Branding and Wedding Photography. My love for photography started in elementary school. I was always snapping photos with my Poloroid sticker camera or a disposable camera. I fell in love with the story telling. I'm a curly-headed, Old Bay loving, Lilly Pulitzer wearing, and caffeine-dependent millennial. In late 2017, I moved from Maryland to gorgeous Charleston, SC; where I experienced my first Southern snow storm (which consisted of 4 inches of snow and 2 weeks of snow days for students! What a time to move!)

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

Lelia Angelique Weddings 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

As a seasoned wedding photographer with over seven years of experience, I specialize in capturing vibrant, timeless, and authentic love stories. My passion for photography stems from my love for people and their unique journeys. Engaged to my fiancée, Sarah, I understand the importance of celebrating love in all its forms. My goal is to make your wedding day seamless and joyful, blending professional excellence with a down-to-earth approach. I strive to be more than just a photographer—I aim to be a friend who enhances your wedding experience, capturing every special moment with care.

Lelia Angelique photography went above my expectations! Angelique was so great to work with on the wedding day, she actually even helped my mom zip me into my second dress because the zipper got stuck! My only critic was that I felt a bit rushed and overwhelmed with family photos and hurt some people’s feelings but honestly that was my own fault. Angelique provides a form to fill out in advanced for family photos and I think had I wrote more than the recommended photo count, she definitely would have made it work. She really is “on your side” in wedding day. She even was able to edit photos during her dinner break, so we had sneak peaks immediately. Post wedding day, Angelique worked with me to select my favorite photos and ordered a really nice wedding photo album and a couple prints for us. When I asked for a couple re-edits she was so quick and polite about it. Truly would recommend her to anyone!

Mary Anna Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

I married my high school sweetheart right out of college. I’m so thankful to say he’s still my favorite person after many years of marriage! I do photography part time and love my day job: raising four fantastic little people. I have a passion for connecting with others… and feel most contented when my home is filled to the brim. That’s why I love being a photographer. I get to serve and connect with kind and interesting people.

Mary and her husband were amazing! From the very first conversation, Mary made me feel comfortable and heard! She listened to my vision and delivered! I love that she coached us through the photos (we've never taken professional photos before) and made sure they came out beautifully. She really is the sweetest while also being professional. I cannot recommend her enough!

Arsalan Abbasi Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

My name is Arsalan — "RC" for short. Over many years, I have honed an appreciation for the textures of every day life: shadows shifting with time, the subtle glimpse of emotion in someone's face, or a dapple of light on concrete. Trained as an architect, I approach photography through the same lens with which I view the built world – with a thoughtful eye for light, composition, and poetry. Photography, to me, is about eternalizing this beauty, so that we can keep a little of its magic with us.

I absolutely recommend working with RC. From the moment we booked, RC was kind of and conscientious. He perfectly balanced keeping our spirits high while also being authoritative to make sure our wedding photos could go off without a hitch. Almost all of our family members mentioned to us how impressed they were with RC’s efficiency throughout our wedding. He was well-organized, communicative, and had a great vision for our photos. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

We are NJ wedding photographers who enjoy capturing life’s timeless moments for you to cherish. We’re New Jersey natives, a husband and wife duo, raising our little girl and Sheepadoodle pup on the east coast. Your love knows no bounds and we would love the privilege to get behind the scenes of your love and capture the raw, organic, and intimate moments. We love weddings for what they represent. Two people giving all of themselves to each other for the world to see.

Alberto and his assistant photographer brought the ultimate experience to our New York City wedding day on 02/24/24! From the very start we knew we wanted Alberto (we call him Chris) to shoot our wedding because of his beautiful film photography & style to his work. He’s professional, educated, passionate, creative & intentional in every detail of his work. When we hired him in November 2023, we had 4 calls where we discussed details, plans, vision, & what to expect. He knows his craft very well and is always making sure his couples are happy and comfortable throughout the process. Him and his assistant photographer were with us from Getting Ready to First Touch to the Altar and lastly, our party! They move efficiently & proactively, never leaving room for error and always leaving time for preparation & fun! I would hire Alberto & his team 10x more, & we cannot wait to see the full gallery. The few snippets alone took our breath away, we can’t even imagine all the hard work they’re putting into our photos. If you hire Alberto, you will not be disappointed!!!

Brittany Titus Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

I'm a photographer, but I'm also a wife, momma, sister, and someone who truly believes God's given me this job because it allows my creative gift and passion to have purpose! Also, If you like to start your day with iced coffee and end it with a margarita, then we should definitely be besties. If you want a photographer that will dance with you at the reception and cry happy tears with you as you marry your best friend, then I should definitely photograph your wedding!

Brittany does a phenomenal job making the couple feel comfortable and thus the pictures she takes look natural and not forced at all. My wife and I both dislike being photographed and typically formal pictures look a little forced. This was no issue with Brittany's pictures! She made both of us feel very relaxed and our pictures looked natural!

Our passion for telling love stories started out as capturing our own adventures but little did we know that God had planted a seed in our hearts that would grow into something that we are still in awe over. Today, our love for wedding films has lead us down a path where we’ve been blessed to capture countless weddings and help share each couples unique love story!

Love and Heirloom Films were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was professional, fast, and easy - they were always responsive and made the process seamless. The quality of their work was truly exceptional, capturing our day in a documentary, emotional, and picturesque way. They made sure to get all the big and little moments, and the final photos and videos are perfect keepsakes that we'll cherish forever. Every time we look back on them, we're transported right back to our special day.

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

In a nutshell - I am your giddy third wheel! I’ll travel anywhere for a great love story, I believe photography should be FUN, and that it should feel like an adventure because really, it’s just us, going on a little adventure together! This is also a no pressure situation! You don’t have to know “how to pose” — this isn’t about posing at all! This is 100% about us 3 out and about together, having fun, laughing a ton, and me giving you guys prompts and direction all in the effort of eliciting a natural reaction!

I can't recommend Elizabeth Ladean Photography enough!! I've had the opportunity to work together personally and professionally many times over the years. She truly is the best in the business!! She is extremely talented as a photographer and has a knack for making you feel comfortable and at ease. She is responsive, organized, and proactive. I've worked with many wedding professionals; she has always stood out in the way she runs her business! When you work with Elizabeth you'll get gorgeous, timeless photos but also a memorable experience!! Highly recommend!!!

Toni Walley Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

I grew up and reside in upstate NY. I always had a love for capturing life in its natural state, and turning those moments into memories that can be looked back on for many generations. I love to travel and shoot a variety of life’s experiences, especially elopements and micro weddings. I've been featured in many magazines over the years and specifically have been on the cover of several bridal magazines in the last two years.

My husband & I are not huge fans of getting photos taken. We both are pretty awkward with PDA and were nervous about this for our big day. I felt a bit stressed since I didn’t have anything prepared in my mind for our photography either. As soon as Toni arrived on site, all my worries disappeared! I could just feel her kind energy radiating as soon as she came into the room. She found her way to the bridal suite and immediately started her magic. Our favorite part about Toni was how she fit in naturally. It never felt awkward or rushed, and she made sure we were enjoying every moment. Our entire family loved her and everyone kept saying how great she did. She really prioritized family photos and helped make sure we got everyone in them. Definitely recommend booking Toni for your day. She really is the best and I’m so happy that I found a photographer that I will use for any big life event moving forward!!!

Maddy Humphrey Photos

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA for additional fees

I am a Virginia Beach and Outer Banks professional photographer and I grew up a few streets from the beach in Virginia Beach at the oceanfront, it is my ultimate happy place. If I am not in Virginia Beach, I am probably spending time in the Outer Banks with my boyfriend and our cocker spaniel puppy Wallen. I absolutely love those relaxing weekends spent in Kitty Hawk. My goal during your session or wedding is to be comfortable, have fun and absolutely GLOW in your photos! I want to showcase your emotions with your loved ones through my lens.

I don’t think there are enough words to express my gratitude for Maddy. From start to finish, she was an absolute gem—going above and beyond in every possible way. She made me feel so comfortable, beautiful, and, most importantly, like I was having FUN! As someone who doesn’t consider themselves “photogenic” or particularly enjoys being in front of the camera, Maddy completely changed that for me. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine passion for her work shine through in everything she does. She not only captured the most breathtaking, candid moments but also helped ease any stress, making the entire experience feel effortless and joyful. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to make everyone feel at ease are truly unmatched. I had a destination wedding, and so many locals told me that only they could truly capture the beauty of Key West… but wow, was that wrong! Maddy proved that talent, dedication, and heart matter so much more. She went above and beyond, taking extra time to scout the best spots and come fully prepared, ensuring every moment was captured perfectly. Her passion and hard work truly showed in every shot, and I will forever be grateful for the love and effort she poured into making our photos so magical. Maddy didn’t just document our day—she made us feel comfortable, radiant, and so special. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your photographer, trust me, you’re in the best hands!

I have the most amazing memories from childhood of being cuddled up with my Granny going through old pictures. The joy and nostalgia that came from those old film photos where everything. My favorite part was always looking up at my Granny as she got lost in each individual memory, seeing her face shape shift in moments of grief over the past and then instant joy because she knew that she could relive that moment as long as she had those photos. Every time I pick up my camera I strive to create tangible moments that will last a lifetime.

We had the absolute best time with Sy'Vone for both our engagement and wedding photos. She is kind, patient, and has an incredible eye. She understood what I wanted for my wedding photos and even created a vision board so I could verify it (the vision board is also in and of itself just beautiful). Not only did we love her, our guests loved her. Everyone came up to me and said how wonderful she was. I can't thank you enough!
