Hi! I’m Trevaughn Smith (he/him), a published queer wedding & portrait photographer based in the DC, Maryland & Virginia area. I’ve made it my life’s work to become a visual storyteller for couples who value authenticity, individuality, and non-traditional love stories. I’m great at blending into the background and capturing honest, unscripted moments – the kind that reflect your real connection. Whether you’re exchanging vows on an LGBTQ+-owned farm, having a small gathering at a Michelin-star restaurant, or celebrating love at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, I’ll be there to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

“From the moment we met Trevaughn, we knew he was the perfect person to bring all of the pieces of our wedding vision together. We’ve had the opportunity to plan and shoot with him before as he helped my husband plan a surprise proposal shoot at DC’s Minetta Tavern. From his unmatched skill behind the camera to his kind and thoughtful direction that highlighted our family and friends so beautifully, he exceeded all of our expectations and left a wonderful lasting impression on everyone he captured. His final product highlighted our casual elopement dinner with such elegance and care, and we’re quick to recommend him to our newly engaged friends without a second thought!”

“Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)”

Paul our videographer was super awesome, got every angle of our wedding and including drone footage. Only mistake we made was not telling our photographer what photos we wanted of family and ideas we had wanted, so it made the photos unorganized after ceremony, but our photographer Jessica made it quick for us and captured whatever we wanted!

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

“We could not be happier with our decision to hire Nina for our wedding! We just received our full wedding gallery and WOW— Nina and her second photographer, Darcy, did such a wonderful job capturing our day. Nina has an excellent eye. Each photo is masterfully composed and the colors are rich. Our gallery had the perfect mix of candids and posed shots. Nina captured so many special moments we weren’t able to experience or see ourselves! We had so much fun going through the gallery and sending our guests the photos they were in. She truly captured the joyous feeling of the day and going through the photos feels like reliving it. Nina is also a great communicator. She is timely in her responses and clear about her process and what to expect. She also makes sure to ask questions about what you want as a couple. We felt calm and comfortable with her. You will be in excellent hands with Nina!! We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.”

With a knack for authentic storytelling, she works to capture a combination of artful, composed imagery and joyful candids that exude the energy and preserve the emotions of your event. She believes deeply that both the aesthetics of your day (which are sure to be stunning) and the spirit of your celebration deserve equal attention and documentation.

“Hiring Annemarie was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. I was incredibly picky when choosing a photographer and talked to over twenty photographers before deciding on Annemarie. Her calmness, attention to detail, photography style, and clarity in communication made her the perfect photographer for any couple. When I look back on our wedding photos, I feel as if I am reliving the day over and over again because she did such an amazing job capturing the raw, unfiltered, real moments of the day. My husband does not love poised photographs and not only did Annemarie get him to do it, she was also able to beautifully capture the little moments in between. Annemarie was respectful, kind to our guests, and ensured every photograph I wanted was captured (and even was able to photoshop a photo or two that I forgot in the craziness!). She went above and beyond for our day, staying longer than originally intended and hiring an extra second. I loved working with her and truly could not recommend Annemarie more highly and will be using her services for all future events!”

“Natalie shot my engagement photos and they were everything I could have hoped for and more. The proposal was a total surprise, and I still can't believe how well they came out and how seamlessly she captured even the initial moments given how unprepared I was! Not only were the photos amazing (and sent to us on a super quick turnaround, even though it was over the holidays) but she also gave so much helpful guidance and was such a calming presence throughout the shoot. I am not always naturally good at posing and was very nervous, but she gave very clear direction and really put me at ease so that the best moments she captured were really natural ones. Our photoshoot was at the National Portrait Gallery, so she also worked closely with my fiancée to find lots of different art and settings throughout the museum —looking back at the photos now I can really see how her artistry and vision came to life! She expertly worked with the art to use dynamic angles and perspectives that were unique and gave us a lot of options. We also took a few pictures at the Christmas market outside the gallery, and even those came out amazing, which is so impressive considering it was PACKED and we could barely move! It’s hard to put into words how much it means to have such a special time preserved so beautifully. Since I was so surprised, a lot of the day went by in a blur, and I’m so thankful to be able to relive it again and again through the photos. I couldn’t stop crying when we got them and have gotten ENDLESS compliments since posting them on social! WE LOVE NATALIE!!”

“Lindsay was the absolute best to work with. No one better! We did an engagement and wedding shoot with her. I consider myself to not be the most photogenic person, and find photos taken of me generally look unnatural, staged, or silly. Lindsay found a way to make us both feel comfortable and ourselves and the results were photos we absolutely cherish. She’s obviously seasoned in what she does and helped us figure out how to organize the time for the more formal shots in addition to the candids. She did great scouting of both locations to make sure the shots she took were well framed, interesting, had good lighting, and also reflected us as a couple. I’m a picky architect and appreciated how she knew intuitively how to bring architectural detail and composition into the photos. From the logistics standpoint, Lindsay is so responsive and professional, we never had to fret about anything. She’s the absolute best!”

Trusting someone to capture such an important day can be daunting, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Love, Lomax Studios was the right decision. Karisa delivered our photos well ahead of schedule, she provided valuable tips and details before our sessions and throughout our planning process, and her lovely presence made our wedding day even more special. We love revisiting our engagement and wedding photos often - her creativity and attention to detail are remarkable. We are so grateful to have chosen Love, Lomax Studios.

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I captured my first wedding in 2016 and I was instantly in love with being a wedding photographer!

“We cannot say enough good things about Georgette! We had a January wedding with about 50 guests, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our portrait time was tight (our fault), and Georgette helped us game plan ahead of time so we could make the absolute most of it. She rolled effortlessly with last-minute changes to people and the order of photos, and somehow managed to squish in everyone we hoped to include without making it feel rushed or stressful. The photos themselves are stunning. She captured every bit of emotion — the big happy moments, the quiet sentimental ones, and even the teary-eyed exchanges. Looking through our gallery truly feels like reliving the day. Beyond her talent behind the camera, her wedding experience really showed. From knowing how to properly carry a giant dress and veil, to keeping things moving smoothly, she went above and beyond in so many small but meaningful ways. If you’re considering booking Georgette — do it. We are so grateful for her and will treasure these photos forever.”

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

“Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we LOVE our photos. She truly captured the emotions of the day and the essence of all the people we love the most. Any time i look at our photos, i find myself involuntarily smiling. She captured the classic posed photos AND the precious in-between moments where people are being their most authentic selves (the face my dad makes when he's really intently listening, the hand gestures my mom uses when she's explaining something and can't find the right words, the face my mother in law makes when she's cracking herself up, the face my father in law makes right before the tears fall, and so so many more). Not ONLY are her photos amazing, but she made us feel so relaxed on the day-of. Her style is totally unobtrusive, which is just what we needed. Darcy got such amazing photos of all our guests we put 4x6" prints in our thank you cards and people were SO appreciative. She's on fridges across America. Comments we've gotten in response to Darcy's photos: "WOW your photographer is phenomenal", "this is the best photo of us in existence", "you guys look so happy!", "I feel like the photographer really captured your personalities" If capturing joy is important to you, hire Darcy. My only regret is getting her for 7 hours instead of 9.”

Michelle’s kindness and thoughtfulness shone through in every interaction. She truly cared about us and always put us first, making sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout the process. From the very first meeting, Michelle embraced our untraditional approach to our nuptials and celebrations! She took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and her attention to detail ensured that every moment we cared about was perfectly documented. Her professionalism and skill are unmatched. Whether it was the candid emotions of the bridal shower, the intimacy of our engagement shoot, or the grand celebrations of our wedding weekend, Michelle captured it all with a keen eye and an artistic touch. The photos are stunning and timeless, each one telling a story and bringing us right back to those special moments. What truly set Michelle apart was her ability to seamlessly blend into the events while still capturing every important detail. She managed to be everywhere at once without being intrusive, and her calm demeanor was a steadying presence during such a busy time. She was a safe face/person that weekend for sure! We are so grateful to Michelle for not only her work but the friendship we have created with her! She gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about her clients, Michelle is the one!”

Great photography doesn't require you to perform. It requires you to be present. My job is to handle everything else so that when the moments happen, they're honest, and the images reflect exactly how the day felt. Your wedding day moves quickly. I stay calm so you don't have to — present enough to catch every quiet glance and joyful tear, discreet enough that you never feel watched.

“Mr. Fields is a skilled photographer and captured every important moment from the engagement to the wedding. The engagement shoot was 3 hours with so many different poses and locations. He did not complain once. The final wedding book product, website, video, and pictures are extremely cute and professional. The pictures and USB came in a beautiful box with the company logo.”

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

“From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.”

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.

“My husband Will and I got married in October and we planned everything together. Hands down, the easiest and best decision we made (besides going through with the marriage ;-)) was picking Chris as our photographer. He was so easy to work with from the get go. We set up a brief meeting, shared our vision (we wanted a "photojournalist approach"), and mapped out a schedule of events. Anything that we did not think to ask, he made sure to bring up and help make our vision more complete. Chris was excellent at capturing all of the tiny moments of the night without being in anyone's way. The pictures that he captured were absolutely STUNNING--the perfect amount of sentimental moments captured in beautiful lighting and silly off the cuff moments that captured the essence of each and every guest. We would work again with Chris in a heartbeat and friends have already requested his contact information for their ceremony. As an added bonus, because we did not end up using Chris for all of the allotted time, he offered to do a separate photoshoot whenever we would like. It's those little attention to details and customer service which make Chris stand out from the rest. Overall, Chris was kind, professional, quick to edit and publish photos, and an amazing photographer. You would not do wrong by hiring him!”
