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. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. 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

Stephanie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and on top of it. She and her second photographer struck the perfect balance of being professional and efficient while also feeling like casual friends, which made the entire experience feel natural and fun. My husband and I felt totally comfortable with her guidance and direction during photos, and she made the whole process so easy, even with unpredictable weather and changing light. She adapted quickly and found the perfect locations around our venue to make sure we got the best possible shots. We were so excited to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning. The quality was flawless and just captured the beauty of our day. She also did our engagement session, and those remain some of our favorite photos ever (other than the wedding, of course). If you’re getting married in Virginia, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins and her team enough. She captured our day perfectly, and we’re so grateful to have these memories to look back on forever.

Hello! My name is Chayil (pronounced just like Kyle), and I am a photographer and creative storyteller with a focus on weddings, elopements, and lifestyle portraits. Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chayil moves through a wedding like an artist painting a masterpiece—effortlessly, passionately, and with an eye for the details that most of us would never think to notice. She creates a space where couples feel like themselves, guests feel celebrated, and, honestly, where I can just breathe because I know everything is being captured perfectly. It’s rare to find someone who blends professionalism with genuine warmth and creativity, but Chayil does it every single time. She’s more than a vendor to me. She’s a partner in making magic and bringing dreams to life. If you’re looking for someone who will turn your wedding memories into art, look no further.

  • Serves Chester, VA

When looking through your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years, you want each photo to spark a dozen timeless memories – like the chill of the autumn air, the way your dress swung to and fro, how your grandma couldn’t stop smiling the whole night, the taste of your new spouse’s lips, and countless more. You’re looking for true and honest evidence that brings you back and steadies you in these fleeting moments. You want to freeze your day just how it is and cherish it forever. Hey, I'm Jess! You're in the right place.

From the moment we first spoke, Jessica was so inviting, thoughtful, and professional. She was always timely in her communication and provided valuable insight on how to enhance the wedding experience and perspective through photography. When we first met at the engagement shoot and all the way through the wedding day, Jessica made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and genuinely seemed excited to be a part of our special day(s). The variety of beautiful photos captured our relationship as a whole and every unforgettable moment. Jessica laughed along with our families and friends, worked seamlessly with our planner and venue coordinator, and was just a joy to be around. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful collection of memories thanks to Jessica.

Lover Pics

  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Chester, VA

I’m Hadley Chittum (she/they), a documentary photographer based in Richmond, Virginia working for publications like the Guardian, New York Times, Teen Vogue, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and more. I started Lover Pics out of a desire to photograph more intimate stories and to document human connection. Because of my photojournalism background, I prefer to photograph weddings by sitting back and letting the action unfold. My process and style will work best for a couple that wants to be present in the moment and not have too many forced, posed photo-ops. But trust I'll always be there with guidance when needed.

Hadley was a wonderful photographer for our special day!! Both posed and candid photos came out beautifully and we love them dearly. Hadley is also a wonderful communicator and a great person to be around! We will definitely ask her to photograph future events.

  • Serves Chester, VA

As time passes I want you to look back through all your photographs and have all of those memories come pouring back into your mind. The moments of love, celebration, joy, the stuff you never want to forget. I'm here to help you cherish your once-in-a-lifetime love story, and celebrate your greatest achievements, and adventures! I want to celebrate it all with you!

We booked Colleen to do a wedding redo shoot 2 years after a hurricane swept through our wedding day. Due to a few different issues with our original photographer, we decided to change gears after Colleen was recommended to us by a good friend. Off the bat, Colleen was super flexible to schedule with and seemed so excited about our vision! During our shoot, Colleen made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Something I appreciated so much was that she made sure to place emphasis on the things she knew would matter to me- for instance, she asked me if I have a “good side”, fixed my hair and necklace between takes, made sure my dress was lying appropriately, and gave flawless posing direction. Initially I was nervous that Colleen would think my wishes to be unachievable; however, she delivered everything I wanted- and then some! Colleen gave us more photos in a (less than) 2hr shoot than our wedding photographer gave us in a 12hr day. Her photos captured my exact vision- artistic, romantic, seductive, modern- all tied in a beautiful Christmas bow! Something else worth mentioning- Colleen left our shoot and *immediately* began working on edits. We were sent multiple sneak peaks DAY OF, and dozens more the following day! Entire album was completed with hundreds of shots by 10 days out. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience with Colleen and these photos that we can cherish for years. Thank you Colleen!

Stop performing for your wedding photos. Most couples worry their wedding will feel like one long, awkward photoshoot. I believe you should be the guest of honor, not the subject of a performance. I’m PJ, your Richmond-based "friend with cameras," and I protect your space so you can focus on the loud laughter and unscripted magic while I capture it all in a way that is vibrant, bold, and unmistakably you. With over 200 weddings captured since 2009, I’ll make sure your day feels easy and your gallery feels honest. Message me here on Zola to see if I’m free for your adventure!

PJ was great to work with leading up to and during our big day. His process is very natural, very laid back and unobtrusive. We chose PJ based on the cool intensity of his work, and he did not disappoint. And while I feel like a fish out of water in front of a camera, he captured such amazing shots that will memorialize our special day for a lifetime. My husband and I highly recommend PJ and would love to work with him again in the future!

Aly Hansen Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Chester, VA

We are two wedding photographers specializing in vintage film for the modern wedding & couple. We offer a true documentary approach while still achieving magazine worthy editorial inspired imagery. People hire us for our laid back yet commanding approach. We know what we're doing and we create beautiful photographs for you and your loved ones.

I first discovered Aly’s work months before I even got engaged. She had done a shoot with a hot air balloon — the entire wedding party gathered around it — and I remember thinking, wow, I want my wedding to feel like this. Fast forward to the night I got engaged: I immediately filled out Aly’s interest form. She mentioned she had two openings in the fall of the following year, and we said, “We’ll take it!” almost instantly. (We didn’t even book our venue until months later — a very risky move, but that’s how much we wanted Aly.) A few months before the wedding, Aly came to New York to shoot our engagement photos. From the moment she arrived, she felt like a longtime friend visiting us. We wandered around DUMBO, grabbed a hot dog from a nearby cart, followed by ice cream, and ended the day with a beer. We had just moved to Long Island and asked if she’d be comfortable taking a few photos of us in our new home with our dog. She was immediately game — and even stayed with us. That evening we shared dinner, lots of laughs, and conversations about family and life. The next morning, over coffee, she captured some of the most beautiful photos of us in our home. (While I treasure our wedding photos beyond words, those quiet morning photos are incredibly special to me.) Then came the wedding day — October 2025. Aly and her assistant, Sidney, arrived at the venue and immediately got to work. Aly blended seamlessly into the day in exactly the way you hope a photographer will. She was there to capture, not to distract. I felt comfortable and fully present the entire time while she moved almost silently in the background. She has a rare gift for observing and capturing the most meaningful moments in the most magical way. And now, the photos. First — she was fast. We received our gallery two weeks earlier than promised, and there isn’t a single photo from the day that I don’t love. With so much pressure today to have an “Instagram-perfect” or overly curated wedding, my husband once asked me how I wanted our day to be remembered. My answer was simple: with love and fun. Aly captured that perfectly. She gave us images that will become family heirlooms. I can’t thank her enough. Not only did she make our day unforgettable, but she’s become a true friend to both my husband and me. I can’t wait for her to capture all the future milestones in our lives.

We absolutely loved working with George Street! We purchased a photo and video package and replaced the printed scrapbook with an engagement photo session. Morgan was our lead photographer for the wedding and took our engagement photos - I cannot emphasize enough how great he was. Not only did he capture gorgeous photos, but he is also one of the nicest people ever. He literally gave me the shirt off his back during our engagement photos so I could sit on it and not get my white dress dirty. For the wedding, we also had Julio as our second photographer. He shot the groomsmen getting ready and they had so much fun with him - the personality he captured in their photos was amazing. Micah was our videographer and he was awesome - he got so much great content without being intrusive and was super nice. Definitely recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Promani for our April 2025 wedding for both photo and video and I was so, so happy with how everything came out. Both Taylor (photo) and James (video) were so great to work with. And it was so fun being able to see the photo and action shots that they directed for us, come to life in the final product. I was originally a bit apprehensive, given I wasn’t going to be able to see the direct work from my day-of photographer and videographer, but Benjamin the owner assured me that style and quality were trained to Promani’s standards. I really wish I could have told the anxious bride (me) that everything would be okay and turn out beautifully. Post-wedding, Benjamin was super responsive in working with me to make some final tweaks to the video and albums. I’m in the Boston-area and Promani has recently started expanding their work here. I would highly recommend - beautiful work, and super fair pricing for their photo/video bundle, especially for the quality of their work.
