Dogwood Lane Photography
Chesapeake, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

After shooting weddings throughout high school, I set my camera down when I went to college. I thought I would go, get a corporate career, and just take gorgeous photos of my kids (currently 2 cats and 2 dogs) one day. Three degrees later, the corporate life was draining. My love for telling love stories had never went away. When I picked up my camera again, I felt at home. I’ve run wholeheartedly into this dream and I belong here. Telling love stories, making fast friends, documenting your favorite moments, adventuring through the woods, meeting all the dogs - this is my home.

To start, Megan was a lot of fun to work with from the beginning. I can't even begin to tell you how much we love our photos--they are absolutely stunning! From candid shots to posed portraits, Megan managed to encapsulate the full range of emotions and details of our day. The final photos are so true to life, and it's made it so hard to decide what to print. Our wedding was very colorful, and the photos captured them perfectly. We also loved the second shooter, who was so creative and added some very special photos! I absolutely recommend Megan to anyone who is looking to do engagement and wedding photos!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Everything was absolutely perfect! Communication before the wedding was wonderful and my photographer and videographer went above and beyond to make the day even more special than it was. I have already recommended Once Like a Spark to my engaged friends and even those who aren't yet! I HIGHLY recommend their services. Thank you so much Once Like a Spark. I will remember this day forever and it will go down in history as the best day ever, with much help from you!

Emie was friendly and fun to work with. Sometimes it's a little bit of a struggle to balance between the photographer and videographer, especially during the limited time we usually have allotted for the bridal party shoot; with Emie, this was extremely easy, and we got plenty of footage for our film. Even at a point in the day when we were getting footage of the bride and groom in the rain, we never felt too rushed. It was fun to share ideas and work with Emie throughout the day.

  • Serves Chesapeake, VA

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We were fortunate enough to have Randell as our wedding photographer and videographer as I just stumbled to find him in a local wedding facebook group and without a doubt, he is THE BEST! From the moment we met him, it was evident that his professionalism and passion for his craft set him apart. His efficiency on the big day was truly remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring he captured every significant moment without being intrusive. His ability to organize group shots and direct us for those perfect candid moments showcased his experience and expertise. Now, let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of spectacular! The only "problem" Randell presented us with was making every single photo look so incredible that it's nearly impossible to choose our favorites! As an artist myself, to me each image is a work of art, reflecting his keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of lighting and composition. Randell not only delivered on capturing the essence of our wedding day but exceeded our expectations. His creativity and skill turned ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and the timeless images he has given us to cherish for a lifetime. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, look no further than Randell. He's not just a photographer; he's an artist who turns your special day into a visual masterpiece. Thank you, Randell, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

If you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins enough!! We hired Stephanie at the recommendation of a friend - and I’m so glad we did!! Putting aside the fact that her photos are STUNNING (which they are), Stephanie had such a relaxing and fun presence that she made taking wedding photos a good time! It’s so clear in both her attitude and her work that she loves what she’s doing, and that makes the whole experience 1000x better. On top of that, her work is simply gorgeous. She has such an eye for angles and poses that really comes through in the photos. Stephanie also sent us a sneak peak gallery the day after the wedding (which is not the norm!), which was so nice and let us relive some of our favorite moments the next day! Stephanie was responsive, professional, and best of all TALENTED. Again, if you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, hire Stephanie!!!

Tiffany has been my go-to photographer for more than five years now, and for very very good reason! Her work contains an artistic touch that I have never seen recreated anywhere else and her ability to make something incredible out of seemingly nothing in the environment of the shoot is unparalleled. In addition to high level results in artistic, family, couples, and wedding photography, Tiffany has done multiple series of head shots for me to use in my own professional setting - every time I update my LinkedIn or post those pictures to any social media the response is overwhelmingly positive! She brings so much to the table that I wait however long it takes for her to be available before getting any more photography done for me. I cannot recommend her enough, especially since her capacity to deliver clear, easy, and understandable instructions makes sessions a breeze and the kids always have so much fun working with her.

Hi! I’m Steph, a wedding and lifestyle photographer, and I’m here for the couples who believe in rich colors and wild and care-free love. Based in the DMV, I travel often for weddings and stories in the mid-Atlantic and all over the world: I’ve photographed love from Delhi, India to Bloomington, Indiana, and everywhere in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first time we met Steph, we felt like she was an old friend. We hired her after the first meeting – we just knew – it felt like we had met our soulmate in a wedding photographer. Fast-forward to 1-month post-wedding, we still love her like family. She is responsive, caring, and stress-free: something you need on your special day! Steph captures your heart and soul in the photos she takes. The colors are very “real” and somehow embodies how you’re feeling that day. This is how we wanted to remember our engagement and our wedding day – those exact feelings. Every time we look through our engagement and wedding photos, the feelings are overwhelming as it takes you back to that day and that time in your life. Needless and we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves: we are obsessed with our wedding photos. Steph is fun-loving and easy to work with. She has a great smile, great laugh, and makes you feel comfortable doing unnatural walks/poses. She was a huge part of our wedding day (obviously) but it didn’t feel like she was just the photographer – her heart and soul was in it. She invests in her couples and truly takes the time to get to know you but in an authentic way because she actually cares about who she photographs. Booking Steph was by far the best choice we made for our wedding and I will recommend her endlessly.

He was always quick to reply and take care of any questions I had. I can’t thank Caz enough for capturing once in a lifetime memories that I’ll always be able to look back on. If he’s available book him now! Thanks Caz!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

From the moment we reached out, Linda was a dream to work with. She was honest, upfront, and clear about pricing and packages, and worked with us to create the right timeline for our wedding day. She was also incredibly warm and kind throughout. We initially chose Linda because we loved her portfolio of more candid, natural, and photojournalistic/documentary-style images. She brought that same vision to our wedding day, and captured incredible moments for us. During the day, she helped make sure everyone was where they needed to be. She felt like a part of our wedding party. She carried around heavy equipment on a very hot Virginia day in September, and it was very appreciated. She got every shot we had asked for in advance and suggested a few on the fly that became some of our favorites. She got us the photos back in a very timely manner, and it was easy to download and share them with friends and family. We would highly suggest working with Linda for any event and would love to work with her again if we have the opportunity. Working with Linda was a highlight of our wedding process.

Combining emotion and romance, with a hint of mystery and wonder. These photos will tell your story in a one-of-a-kind way. Documenting your love differently from any other. And allowing you to re-live it with your love ones in the most special way. As a wedding photographer I think it’s really important to build a relationship with all of my couples. Honestly, I will admit that as your photographer I usually spend more time with you two individually than you actually will together on your wedding day. Which is why I have a lot to explain for how I move forward in capturing high caliber wedding photos with all of my couples.

We've had the pleasure of working with Wes Shinn on numerous occasions, and each time, he exceeds our expectations. His ability to transform your wedding moments into timeless works of art is unparalleled. Choosing him as your wedding photographer ensures not only stunning memories but you’ll also get a kind, professional photographer who cares about his clients. Trust us, you won't regret it!

We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

Right from our very first meeting, Laura's professionalism, expertise, and calming presence put us at ease. She was super responsive to any questions I had before the wedding, and her timeline guidance and advice on hair and makeup rotations were invaluable. Her attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic without a single worry.

I’m Josephine, or Jo for short. I take photos of a lot of different things, but I am always inspired by efficient design (think Bauhaus), movement and authenticity. Most of my photography is digital, but I love film so my editing style is reminiscent of that. Every once in a while I shoot a roll of film to document my own life which mainly consists of the following: getting outside, being active, telling my dog I love him, advocating for environmental protection, working my full time job and let’s be honest, spending way too much time staring at screens.

Working with Jo last August was absolutely great! As a coordinator, having someone on the vendor team who is flexible and calm is super important. She handled the rowdy guests with a calm and patient demeanor, was a team-player as things changed, and open to suggestions and questions from me. And the photos are fantastic, of course!

I drink an absurd amount of tea and I make videos occasionally. I adore art museums and dabble on the ukulele. My entire life, I’ve loved sharing my perspective; illustrating life as I saw it and taking photos of things I thought may be overlooked. And I even wrote a journal entry at the age of 7 stating I would someday be an artist. In a black and white composition notebook, I poorly scribbled the words: “I don’t want to be famous, but I want people to want my art.”

Nessa is an incredible photographer who is easy to work with and produces phenomenal photographs. She was happy to adapt her style to the vibe of our day (but still keep her trademark "Nessa-ness"). We wanted a photographer who wouldn't be imposing on the day and who would capture the story our wedding rather than just take a lot of clean cut portraits. That being said, the portraits we did take were also stunning, so if that's what you want, just let her know! She's great at both, just tends towards more journalistic. I plan on using Nessa again when we had kids or just need a fabulous photographer.

Steve and I met in March, 1999 on Match.com. We were married on September 2, 2000 at the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. We became a photography team in 2007. I had already been photographing weddings on my own, but someone was missing. I am not complete without Steve. My photography is the same. I love working with my husband. We can be on opposite sides of a ceremony, look at each other and just know what the other will do. Many of our couples love our height difference. I'm 5'1". Steve is 6'4". You will literally get two very different perspectives for the exact same moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
There’s not many things in life that you get a do-over with. I think as a covid bride none of us expected even the simplest things in this process to be difficult or even heartbreaking- by the time the day comes you’re just happy you got to say I do - whatever that looked like. Whatever money wasted and whatever discontent. One of the collateral damages of my covid wedding was bad weather, stressed out skin and a photographer that oversold their services. Almost a year later it broke my heart to look at our un-edited photos unhappy with what was captured and all we paid. Another couple we are close friends with recommended Jenn and Steve telling us why don’t you do an anniversary shoot with them! They showed us their amazing wedding photos and raved about their experience. I said you know what- after all the money we spent all the heartache we deserve to have some photos we love. Booking and communicating our vision was so simple we met with Jenn via zoom, she was flexible on date (and rain date) professional, kind and clear on the services included and I felt wow this is what I wish we had done the first time. So the shoot day comes and I put my dress back on, we got dressed up, we did all the things we WISHED we did that day and had so much fun with Jenn capturing it. The experience and light heartedness of the day was a true pleasure. In a few short weeks when I got my photos back nothing can quite describe when the image of yourself, and your love, since you were a little girl- matches the reality in a photo. When someone captures that feeling and your love so perfectly when you look at yourself and feel like the best version of yourself as a bride- the colors and the emotion, NOTHING can top that. Jenn and Steve gave us the best anniversary gift we could have ever asked for. We now have photos I’m proud to show my kids and say hey look how hot your parents were. I am so happy we decided to do this and so grateful to Jenn for making a little girls dreams come true3 Thank you.

Kelsey was incredible! We were very laid back and honestly had no clue what we wanted as far as wedding photography. So we let Kelsey take the reins and we are so thankful we did. After getting to know us and our personalities she gave posing recommendations that made us both feel confident and showed the love and intimacy we share. A few memorable moments that show how much of a pro Kelsey is: 1. when we were inside dancing Kelsey spotted a gorgeous but fleeting peach sunset, she grabbed us and made the most of the moment. Those are some of our favorite photos! 2. My husband and I kept running off to mingle with our guests (a photographers nightmare, I’m sure) Kelsey managed to keep us on track and politely pull us away from our guests. In that way she really advocated for us and the package we purchased. We cherish our photos and plan to ask Kelsey to photograph our special moments in the future!

Alysa was very open to work with us on our unique wedding plans. They captured the beginning of our day and wedding perfectly. We did not have them come take pictures afterwards, since we did not have the traditional reception. The pictures they captured though, were sometimes candid, and those ended up being some of my favorites.

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

Awarded Best of Zola
The minute my fiancée and I found Chris (via a wedding photog friend who was unavailable for our date) I told him that I was a former wedding vendor myself, I know how the sausage gets made, and I just wanted him to be real with me. He totally got that and took it to heart. He went above and beyond to help us sort out another photog for part of our wedding experience when some of our plans had to change and I really appreciated his communication throughout the process. He made it fun and was easy to work with, was amenable to capturing my preferred "good side" and ending up sending us some truly amazing photos. I'm not the world's most photogenic person, and he did such a great job of sorting through snaps of (what I assume were) hundreds of double chins and closed eyes - he sent us a set of final photos in which I felt like I looked pretty in every single one and our joy just really shines through. 10 out of 10, would hire again!

As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous!
