Hi! I’m Rachel, and my husband Daniel and I are a husband-and-wife photography team based in the Shenandoah Valley. We blend traditional, candid, and documentary styles to capture your day as it truly happens. Our editing is clean, rich, and true-to-life, with crisp whites and natural colors that never go out of style. We’ve been through the wedding whirlwind ourselves, so we’re here to make the photography part feel easy, fun, and stress-free.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Rachel and Daniel on accident and it was the best decision ever to hire them for our wedding. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, everything was beyond what we could ever imagine. They get it. There’s no extra fluff, no hidden agenda, just pure joy and great honor to take photos of peoples best day. They see the genuine moments and capture them with ease. We set up a phone call for the week before the wedding to ensure we were on the same page so she could execute our vision. On top of that, we had sneak peaks within 24 hours and our entire wedding album in 1 month. That’s unheard of!! I will truly never hire another photographer in my life.

Kristy Good Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Dayton, VA

I’ve been practicing photography in one form or another for nearly 20 years, alongside a background in graphic design and a bachelor’s degree in art. I don’t approach weddings as a checklist to complete, but as a whole experience to observe and capture creatively. I consider myself an artist as much as a photographer–light, composition, atmosphere, and emotion matter to me just as much as the moments themselves.

Kristy took the time to get to know us as a couple and really got a sense of what we were looking for. We wanted a few poses pictures with family, but mostly just candid photos of our day. We wanted to be present with each other and our friends and family, while still having some lovely photos. Kristy 100% delivered!!!

Hi, I’m Holly — a wife, a mom of four, and the heart behind Holly Bee Photography. My love for photography began when my kids were little and life was moving just a little too fast. I picked up a camera to freeze those fleeting moments, and I’ve been chasing beautiful golden light ever since. I strive to create a space where everyone feels seen, welcome, and celebrated. Inclusivity is at the core of my work, and it’s important to me that every family, couple, and individual feels at home in front of my lens.

Holly Bee Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Holly was prompt in her communication, kind in her demeanor, and enthusiastic about capturing our special day. Her professional, quick, and personal approach to photography resulted in stunning images that perfectly encapsulate all the moments we wanted to remember. Holly even managed to capture an unexpected and delightful moment when we ended up saving a bird during the wedding. Her ability to be in the right place at the right time is truly impressive. We were thrilled with the quality of our photos and Holly made sure everything was executed exactly as we had envisioned. I would wholeheartedly recommend Holly Bee Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

  • Serves Dayton, VA

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

Hannah and her team were OUTSTANDING!! Every step of the process Hannah went above and beyond and really made me feel important and my ideas heard. She was always there and willing to jump in to help with anything and ease my stress on the wedding day. She was extra prepared for whatever and super professional yet down to earth and approachable. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease when taking the photos which really helps make them look and feel very genuine and not stiff and posed. When it came time to delivering the finished gallery we were blown away at just how many STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS photos she had captured and how fast she did it! We couldn’t have been more pleased. She was such a tremendous blessing and we were so so grateful she was a part of our special day. If you are on the fence about what photographer to hire, don’t hesitate any longer, she is the best and you will not regret choosing her and her talents!

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

On the wedding day, she captured so many beautiful candid moments with her vibrant, creative style. The colors and lighting in both our portraits and reception photos are gorgeous and realistic. We were so excited when we got our sneak peek photos - they perfectly capture the joy and love from our special day. We can't wait to receive the full photo package and relive more memories.
