Nam Tatum LLC

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Dumfries, VA

Nam Tatum is a travel documentary & editorial wedding photographer, dedicated to capturing love in its rawest, most unfiltered form. From Thailand, she moved to the U.S. at nine and spent seven years in the Marines before turning her lifelong passion into a full-time career. Now, amidst the beautiful chaos of life with two teenagers, a husband, and the world’s cutest dog, she thrives on the magic of real, unscripted moments. For Nam, it isn’t about staged perfection—it’s about storytelling. Her approach is intuitive and deeply intentional, ensuring that every couple’s love story is captured exactly as it unfolds—bold & fearless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to even start? From the planning of the engagement session to the execution of our wedding day photography, Nam was so fun, helpful, encouraging, and professional. She made all of our dreams come true with every picture and has made memories that we will cherish forever. Nam’s laidback fun personality made both my husband and I feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera even though neither one of us are big fans of having our picture taken. She captured us in a way that showed our love in every picture, and it never felt like unnatural or like a photoshoot. She has a way of making people feel seen, and her pictures show that. If you want to always remember the way you *feel*, I would highly recommend Nam. She captures heart on film, and we feel so lucky to have that memorialized forever!

What an amazing manor and grounds. I can't say enough how well the Rixey Manor estate, owner/manager Isadora and the manor staff helped coordinate and support my daughter's wedding and reception. Working under a very short time schedule and across three different time zones - my daughter stationed in Italy and then in Japan, myself in San Diego, and the wedding event in Virginia - all required dedication, flexibility, prompt responses and superior follow-up. Isadora and Grace communicated and worked seamlessly with all the wedding vendors, assuring a well-timed and beautiful wedding ceremony. I truly appreciated the Rixey Manor work portal and detailed planning documents that helped me keep organized, updated and informed. And what an amazing, gorgeous place to have a wedding that offers such wonderful architecture. Thank you so much again. Anyone interested in holding an event at Rixey Manor is in excellent, competent hands. Thank you!, Lisa H.

We had the most incredible experience with Geneva for our destination engagement session in California! We absolutely love the West Coast and wanted something unique for our photos, so we flew out to California and brought Geneva along to capture us on a stunning beach. From the moment we started, Geneva made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She gave great direction while still allowing us to be ourselves, making the entire session feel natural and fun. Before our session, Geneva sent us a thoughtful engagement questionnaire to learn more about us, which made a huge difference during the shoot. It felt like she truly understood our personalities and what we wanted from our photos. We can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a wedding photographer—her work is timeless, and we were so happy with the results. We even purchased a guest book from her for our wedding, and it was a huge hit! Book Geneva—she’s amazing and will deliver beautiful, lasting memories!

  • Serves Dumfries, VA

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

Sara was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our special day. She was incredibly professional, punctual, and incredibly talented. Her ability to capture the essence of our love story in every photograph was truly inspiring. We were particularly impressed with her dedication to capturing every moment, even during a tight timeline. She effortlessly gathered our large group for family photos and ensured we had all the shots we wanted before the ceremony. Her assistant was also a fantastic addition to the team, capturing unique perspectives and candid moments. Our engagement shoot with Sara was equally amazing. The photos were stunning and perfectly captured the romantic atmosphere. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a talented and reliable wedding photographer. We're so impressed with her work that we're already planning to use her services for future milestones in our lives.

We absolutely loved working with Maria for our engagement and wedding photos! We knew from looking at her portfolio for the first time and after we connected over the phone that we’d found exactly the right person to capture our celebration. From in-person meetings to Zoom syncs, our partnership with Maria immediately felt comfortable and collaborative. Maria brought warmth and her expertise to the table, while we brought our personalities and our vision to capture the vibrance and energy of our wedding day. There are three main elements that I want to highlight from working together with Maria: 1. Our rainy day engagement shoot in Brooklyn - despite us being based in Brooklyn, NY and our wedding venue and Maria both being located in the greater Washington, DC area, Maria made her way up to NYC and graciously did an engagement shoot with us capturing shots in some of our favorite places around Brooklyn. At first we were a bit worried when we saw that rain was in the forecast for our shoot day, but Maria assured us that the rain would only add to the romanticism of the shoot and she was absolutely right and truly delivered great shots. Not only that, she was great at directing us and making us feel relaxed throughout the entire session. 2. Maria’s unique proposal for our wedding day shoot - we connected with Maria nine months prior to our wedding, but she’s a sought after photographer! She was already booked on our wedding date, so she suggested an alternative for us to still be able to leverage her services and her editorial eye: she would suggest another trusted photographer to take raw photos on the day of our wedding, while she would still own all of the planning, coordination, and editing of all of our wedding photos so our images still got the Rise & Roam treatment. 3. Our wedding photos - Maria was highly communicative and phenomenal at making sure she understood what we were looking for in our shots. She made sure that our day-of raw photographer was aligned with our vision as well. (Shoutout to Sarah Mattozzi for being such a great day-of photographer and for partnering with Maria on our unique photography setup! Loved working with Sarah!). Just a few days after our wedding, Maria sent us a bunch of preview photos from the shoot and we were immediately struck by how well they turned out. Once we got the full album drop, we were so happy with all the images!! Maria captured the spirit, energy, and fun that was such a core part of our wedding celebration! Overall, I would highly highly recommend Maria to capture your own special day because she did a phenomenal job on capturing our celebration!

Married July 29th 2023 - An absolutely magical day from start to finish! Christian was an incredible member of my wedding day team. From our early start at 8:30 AM to my second ceremony at 4:30 PM (yes, we had 2 ceremonies), and through the start of our dance party (like 9 PM) - Christian was top notch! I have worked with him as a planner, and I knew from day 1 that I wanted him on my vendor team. The attention to detail and enthusiasm made a super long day breeze by. I can't thank you enough, Christian! I look forward to working with you soon for another bride's special day - but know, you will forever be MY wedding videographer!

I will take charge during portrait hour, give you simple but beautiful posing tips, and then fade into the background to document every little moment and detail from your day. You will get to enjoy and live your wedding day, not just pose for it!

From the moment we booked Katie for our wedding, her communication was clear, timely, and backed up with a clearly written contract and follow-up texts. She was exceptionally kind to us, asked great questions ahead of time to help us figure out what we wanted and wanted to prioritize. On the day of, she expertly navigated our changing needs, like accommodating tiny kids’ timelines. She was also exceptionally kind to take photos at the family farm in addition to the church, for some more scenery. Her work is truly natural, elegant, lifelike, and absolutely beautiful - we were thrilled with the final photos that captured all the special moments of our day, including our first look at the altar. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our picture taken much at all, but Katie did a phenomenal job putting us at ease, giving us clear and concise posing direction, and capturing us looking our best in our happiest moments. Katie was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional photography team to help make their wedding day perfect. I have recommended her to all of my engaged friends without hesitation, and would recommend her to you too!

Stacy planned our wedding from start to finish, and I can’t imagine doing it any other way. She genuinely loves weddings and all the minutia that make them meaningful to each couple, and it really shows. Whether we were picking a photographer or deciding what kind of candles to use, she was always full of practical advice and creative ideas tailored to our tastes and budget. Stacy isn’t just a wedding planner — she’s a partner who is eager to understand and then produce your unique vision for the day. Stacy goes above and beyond every step of the way. Her motto — which you’ll hear a lot — is “we can do that!” Just one small example of many: I procrastinated on getting a hairstylist only to finally do a trial and realize I really didn’t like the result. Without even being asked, Stacy immediately jumped in and found multiple incredible hairstylists, even reaching out to confirm their availability and pricing. I’ve had so many people compliment me on the wedding, specifically how thoughtful and well-executed it was. Almost every single one of them has mentioned Stacy. Her professionalism, competency, and uncanny ability to subtly resolve any last-second problems makes for a stress-free event where your only job truly is to enjoy the day. And her attention to detail (like putting cute tags on the water carafes with refill instructions) makes even the littlest pieces feel special. She was always exactly where I needed her on the wedding day, checking in, making sure we were fed, re-bustling my dress moments before our first dance. I was able to really relax knowing she could handle whatever came up. If you’re hoping to find someone who is as excited as you are about seeing your dream wedding come to life, Stacy’s the one. My husband and I are still surprised by just how much we loved every moment of our wedding, which was in large part thanks to Stacy.

TLDR: Easy communication, handles everything, calming, amazing experience. Madi helped us plan and coordinated our wedding in June at the Eaton DC. We cannot recommend her enough!! During the planning process, she was the perfect balance of being the cheerleader for our ideas, and weighing in with her own when we needed another perspective. We felt pretty unprepared and clueless about planning a wedding, and Madi was so accepting of that and really validated us along the way. She handed all of the communication and emails, which was a huge task and a relief to hand off. On the actual wedding day, Madi and her team made everything feel comfortable and easy. Madi has such a calm demeanor that we completely trusted that no matter what happened, she was going to take care of it and it wouldn’t impact us. And it didn’t! We weren’t aware of any logistics going on around us, and Madi and her team made sure it was the most special for us. Our friends and family commented throughout the night and afterwards on how great Madi and her team were. I am SO glad and grateful we had Madi for our wedding, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking for planning or coordination to go with Tate Co.

Awarded Best of Zola
I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

Hi there! I’m Nathan Sottung (pronounced “saw-tongue”—ask me about its Norse mythological roots!). Since 2020, I’ve been blending my technical expertise with a calming presence to help couples feel relaxed, authentic, and truly themselves on their wedding day. With nearly 100 weddings captured, I’ve had the joy of preserving unique love stories through genuine, heartfelt moments. Let’s make your day unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
I would give 10 stars if that were possible! Nathan is incredible! From when we first reached out to even now, a month after our wedding. He is so friendly and warm, it is easy to feel comfortable around him. Feeling comfortable is so important since most of us aren't used to people taking so many pictures of us. He was helpful in picking a place to do our engagement photos and was great about getting us to pose or do goofy things that resulted in the most beautiful photos that I could truly feel how we felt in the moment when looking at the photos. On the day of our wedding, he was even more amazing, we were an hour behind schedule (my fault) and he kept his cool which in turn helped me to also remain calm. He was great at pivoting at a moment's notice when I changed the location of first look photos in order to save time. He was great at offering ways we could still get those photos in that location if we wanted to take the time to do it. He went above and beyond getting candid shots I asked for. The amazing thing is that my photos from my wedding truly feel like a portal back into the day, I look at the pictures and all the emotions of joy and love come flooding back. He is a true artist. The best part was we got a bunch of preview photos the day after our wedding!! Unheard of! And then he had the full gallery of photos only 3 weeks later, also unheard of! He does a great job capturing and editing photos. He also time and time again went above and beyond like an additional engagement session when we missed some shots we had wanted to get or an additional session in our wedding attire to capture additional portraits. He also asked if there were photos that we thought were missing from the gallery and went back through the thousands of photos to find ones we were asking about. I cannot recommend Nathan enough, our day would not have been the same without him, and it never would have been captured in such a perfect way.

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

When my husband and I began looking for photographers, we looked at many different photographers portfolios and Rob’s stuck out the most. The way he was able to capture couples weddings from start to finish in such a way that told the story was truly amazing. When we spoke with Rob and found out his pricing, my husband and I were a bit hesitant to spend so much on a wedding photographer, but I can say without a doubt that out of every vendor we booked for our wedding, Rob is the one who was worth every single penny. He truly was able to capture our wedding day in a way that brought us tears of joy. If we had to do our entire wedding over again he’d be the first on our list to book! From talking before the booking process to the photo reveal, it was such a smooth process and he made the whole thing feel magical. If you can, book Rob because he will absolutely do what you want and more!

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.

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

I'm a Northern Virginia based wedding photographer with a love for capturing your day in a way that feels most authentic to YOU. My experience with having my own COVID wedding has led me to appreciate all kinds of weddings, big and small. ◡̈ Virginia born and raised, I met my husband in middle school and we chose to be by each others' sides forever back in 2020! We are building a family and a life we love in Fredericksburg, VA, but are always ready to go. He's my right hand man and will probably tag along every so often!

From the moment we met Hope, we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. Her communication style was incredibly responsive, upbeat, and comforting, which was so valuable during the stressful wedding planning process. Hope took the time to thoroughly understand our preferences and vision, then brought them to life with her high-quality, artistic photography. On the day of the wedding, Hope's calm presence was a welcome respite from the chaos, and she expertly captured all the special moments that made our celebration so unique and meaningful. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Hope Hoggard Photo to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

Being in the wedding film industry over sixteen years, I'm eager to help couples bring their dreams to life. I have no hesitation traveling for couples who know I'm the perfect fit for their wedding. My work resonates with who it's made for- and I keep that audience in mind.

Steven was incredible from initial contact to follow-up after the event. He works with you to choose a package that fits your videography needs and budget. He is down-to-earth and makes you feel like he and his team are just old friends hanging out with you throughout the day. His videography style and music choices drew us to him in the first place, and he did not disappoint. He captured every magical detail, and we're so thankful to have chosen Birchfields.

I have been doing photography/weddings for the last 10 years or so. I am a mama of 2 and a wife myself. I may be a professional, but I am just like You, a person, and I strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible working with me!

K.S. Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was timely, professional, and extremely patient as we navigated the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Katie and her second photographer were a pleasure to have around - they made the entire experience fun and relaxed, while paying close attention to capturing all the special moments exactly as we had envisioned. The final photos are absolutely stunning - warm, inviting, and beautifully composed. We are thrilled with the value and quality of their work, and can't wait to continue enjoying these cherished memories for years to come. Highly recommend K.S. Photography!

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
We were married at Cloverdale Barn this past October and to say that it was the most perfect day would truly be an understatement!! We just received our pictures back this past week and were reminded again of our amazing day. The barn, field, views, stone walls, wooden doors, lights hanging everywhere all provided gorgeous backdrops for our photos. And yet, the place held the simple charm that we longed for, the reasonable price that we could afford, and indoor/outdoor space to cater a meal, play games, have the ceremony, and more! The venue was everything we truly hoped for but more than that, Claire was beyond helpful, attentive, caring, and treated us like we were the only couple getting married there...even though we know that’s not the case! Planning our entire wedding was simplified with Claire’s guidance and help. She was very professional and yet so helpful and accommodating to our needs. So, look no further...Cloverdale Barn is perfection. We won’t be getting married again!! ;) But if we ever need a venue for any other celebration or party, I know where I’m going to first! Thank you Cloverdale Barn for a wedding beyond our wildest dreams!

Our lead planner is also a certified civil celebrant in Virginia.

Sarah coordinated my wedding in Cancun and I want to thank her sooooo much! I'm an accountant and I own several businesses, so there were so many times Sarah had to stay on me to get stuff done. She stayed on top of deadlines, she made sure everyone had their room and flight booked, made sure everyone had transportation, worked hand in hand with my photographer and the wedding specialist at the resort. From the start of initial planning to the end of the reception, she literally ripped and ran to get stuff done!! She had the line-up in tact, the songs on point, she even went so far to make sure my dress was perfect for pictures that she FELL OFF THE PLATFORM and plunged into the pool!! NOW THATS DEDICATION!! Thanks so much Sarah. I am so thankful and don't know how I could've pulled this off without you. Thanks for not letting up on the resort and making sure my wedding turned out perfect !
