Danielle Plymale Photography 
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Columbia, VA for additional fees

I am a lover of puppy kisses, the beginning of football season, long drives with the windows down, and the thrill of adventure to new places. I am married to my best friend whom I have known since high school; he's a sweet and athletic hunk of a man who loves his hair and somehow manages to keep it within regulations while serving in the Army. We do not have any human children, but we do have four fur babies whom we are quite frankly obsessed with and are spoiled to no end. When I am not behind the camera, you can find me spending quality time with my family, working on some random DIY project, or binge watching a new show on Netflix.

Cramer Photo - Sarah Cramer Shields 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Columbia, VA

For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for understanding people and making beautiful images. Earning dual degrees in fine art photography and anthropology was a natural extension of this passion — a path that led me to launch Cramer Photo in 2005. I focus my photography on the art of documentation. I love to capture the in-between moments, when a bit of your inner self is revealed. Your images will be a perfectly honest reflection of you, the people you love, and the moment you’re in. I am a visual storyteller, documenting the personal and professional stories of my clients. Let me tell your story!

Sarah has captured my heart on various big moments, and now I can add "wedding" to the list. Words cannot describe the ease in which she put me, my husband (yay!), and our friends and family on such an important day. Her spunk, pure joy, positive energy, professionalism, genuine kindness, and TALENT, are what makes her an exceptional photographer and friend. I look forward to having her capture all of our future exciting life moments!

Based in Maryland, capture love story worldwide. We work to keep your timeless, intimate, lifetime, romantic, meaningful moments FOREVER. Limited amount of weddings each year so I can get to know you better and create the highest quality of work.

From the moment we booked Aira, we knew we were in exceptional hands.

But it was on our wedding day that she truly shone. With a calming presence and an eye for detail, she effortlessly blended into the background, capturing raw, authentic moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Her ability to document the laughter, tears, and spontaneous joy made our photos feel alive, like reliving the day all over again. Every image she delivered told a story—from the quiet, intimate glances to the wild dance floor celebrations. Her talent for combining artistry with genuine emotion is a rare gift. We’re endlessly grateful not just for her technical skill, but for the care and passion she poured into preserving our memories.

Unearthed Photographical

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Columbia, VA

I’m AnaGabriele (Ana), and the owner of Unearthed Photographical! My partner and I have been photographing weddings since 2016, when two upcoming brides I’d gone to high school with, saw that I was still taking photos and asked me to photograph their big days! Those two events made me realize how much I absolutely love wedding photography. Since then, we’ve honed in on our craft, learning how to make the process as smooth as possible for all of our clients. We love riding out on the Harley, crafting, and hanging out with our toddlers.

I met Ana through my sister-in-law. She was her wedding photographer in 2019 and when I saw Ana’s photos I was drawn to her style. Unearthed Photographical did mine and my husbands engagement photos as well as both (thank you covid) of our weddings! Ana was very flexible when the pandemic turned my wedding plans upside down. She is a pleasure to work with and tries her best to please her costumers!

Nicole Thomas Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Columbia, VA

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recommend Nicole Thomas to be your wedding photographer with utmost enthusiasm. I have heard from a friend that Nicole has many years of experience and this wedding photography experience and is the best of the best, both in terms of the quality of her pictures and her personality. Her work really stood out from other photographers, and “told a story.” Both the amazing quality of her work and her willingness to work with me and my husband on the day of our wedding back in February 2022, made her an easy choice for us to be our wedding photographer. Nicole’s portfolio is unique from the others, and you can witness her dedication and respect for work. I am very grateful for her to capture those memories forever so me and my husband can look back on that day and cherish these moments.
