My passion has always been to serve people & love them well! I used to work in the medical field & found that passion for others & wanting to freeze time flow into my Photography business! I saw how sudden life could change or be taken in my career as an occupational therapist! I knew I wanted nothing more than to give people tangible items to look back on and treasure for years to come! Also, who doesn’t love, love? It’s so stinking sweet!

I honestly don’t even have the words to fully express how grateful we are for McKenzie. When our original photographer unexpectedly canceled, we were heartbroken and stressed—but McKenzie stepped in without hesitation and completely saved the day. From the moment she agreed to take on our wedding, it felt like everything was going to be okay. And it was more than okay—it was perfect. Our wedding day was hot, chaotic at times, and filled with all the usual last-minute hiccups—but McKenzie handled it all with such grace, patience, and professionalism. She showed up with a calm presence, a warm smile, and the kind of creative energy every couple hopes for in a photographer. She captured everything—every little detail, every laugh, every emotional moment—with such care and talent. The photos we’ve received are beyond anything we imagined. Looking through them brings tears to our eyes because she didn’t just take pictures… she preserved the feeling of the day. I truly believe McKenzie was meant to be there with us. What started as a stressful situation turned into one of the biggest blessings of our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, stay calm under pressure, and make you feel totally at ease in front of the camera—McKenzie is the one. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, McKenzie. You were everything we didn’t know we needed. —Kaitlyn & Brandon

I'm an NYC fashion photographer turned wedding storyteller. After years in the fashion world capturing beautiful imagery for models, fashion influencers, and musicians, my inclusive work found its way into articles from Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Buzzfeed, and People. Having been recently married myself, I have fallen in love with documenting real moments and real love. Now, I specialize in photographing weddings with an editorial edge and a heart-forward approach. My style is natural, inclusive, and focused on making you feel confident, seen, and celebrated in every image. I'm based in Crewe, Virginia, but always ready to travel for love!

There are people you come across in life where the ease of conversation translates and you find yourself wanting to cross paths with this person again. This is the case with LaraBelle photography! Met her by chance at a bridal show and after seeing her images I recognized such a beautiful aesthetic with her work! Straightforward, clean, crisp and beautiful photography are words I’d use to describe her work. She’s very quick to turn around a gallery and you can tell her passion for photography and documenting special occasions precedes her. I highly recommend hiring LaraBelle for all of your photography and video needs. You can’t go wrong! I look forward to working with her in the future!

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

Hi, its Jessica, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Virginia. My clients are so special that they find themselves a friend for a lifetime, not just another wedding vendor. I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day itself, they struck the perfect balance between being calm and reassuring while also keeping everything on schedule and flowing smoothly. They captured every important moment beautifully—from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The images are timeless, natural, and full of genuine emotion, not overly posed or forced! What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful they were—not just to us, but to our families and wedding party as well. Multiple guests commented on how kind and personable they were, yet somehow always in the right place at the right time! We are beyond grateful for these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about capturing your story, we cannot recommend them highly enough (:

MEGAN WAS AMAZING!!!! We cannot sing the praises of her and her team enough. Her photos are incredible -- we literally cannot stop looking at them, and we are so grateful we selected her for the memories that we will frame on the wall and review for years to come. But even more than her amazing photography was how wonderful she is to work with! From our first Zoom call, she was immediately just so much fun to talk to. Something to think about: Your photographer follows you around your entire wedding day, so you need someone you feel comfortable with! Megan immediately put us at ease. We had a blast with her on the engagement photoshoot (we went to waterfall at sunrise!) and we had a blast planning out all our wedding shots with her. At the wedding itself, her team was so professional and endlessly kind. They never made the wedding feel awkward or had to "stop the action" for a shot. She delivered an AMAZING gallery for us in a timely manner with the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken in our lives. She captured all the special moments and managed all our family dynamics. We would book Megan again 100000 times. Also, as a queer couple, she was so affirming and made us feel so comfortable. We love you Megan 3 Can't wait to book a newborn shoot one day ;)

Hiring Stephanie as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our engagement photos to bridal portraits, and especially on our wedding day, Stephanie captured every moment beautifully and exceeded all of our expectations. Her attention to detail and artistic vision brought our love story to life in every image, and we couldn’t be happier with the final results. Beyond her incredible photography skills, what truly sets Stephanie apart is her emotional and physical support throughout the entire process. She was so much more than just a photographer—she felt like a friend, guiding us through the day with care and making sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera.

Bhanu at Eternal Vistas showed he genuinely cared about making our day perfect. He was involved in planning every step of the wedding with us, and even monitored the forecast to suggest we order umbrellas last minute; this was a thoughtful touch that saved us. There were so many thoughtful touches that will not fit in this review (preparing a wedding outline, checking in on our mental health/stress levels when planning, suggesting a song to listen to while we looked at photos, and so many more things!!). We received sneak peek photos in less than 24 hours, and we were absolutely floored by the quality. They are beyond our wildest dreams. We had a main photographer, a videographer, and an assistant (an unexpected bonus assistant, I’ll add). Their attention to detail is clear in every shot, and the whole experience felt effortless. The value we got from working with them was outstanding and truly worthwhile. I could not recommend them enough to any couple looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. My husband and I are grateful for Eternal Vistas and their passion for what they do. Thank you thank you thank you.

Molly was the best photographer we could have asked for. She was a calming and friendly presence as soon as she arrived. My husband and I did not have a super thorough plan and Molly had no problem just doing her thing. And her "thing" is being an incredible photographer. We loved the candid photos she captured of not only us but our loved ones. She is incredibly easy to work with and made our wedding experience so wonderful. I know that the pictures Molly took will be cherished for the rest of our lives and in the lives of those who love us. Molly also made the preparation process incredibly easy. She has a great understanding of how hard wedding planning can be and how expensive. The results of her work are completely worth the (very reasonable) price.

My now wife and I were searching for wedding photographers in our area, and Casie stood out by the way that her photos seemed to focus on the individuals and style of the weddings she photographed. We met with her and both immediately knew that she would be the perfect fit for our wedding. She had a very chill but very knowledgeable and thorough approach to planning out the photography for our wedding. She really made the planning process stress-free. For the wedding itself, we absolutely loved all of the photos that she took, and she was a great, positive presence at the wedding. We still regularly go through all of the photos and find new ones that we love and didn't notice earlier because there are so many amazing photos that she took. I would recommend Casie to anyone for wedding photos or any photos, but her work/art does speak for itself.

My name is Leander, but most people call me LJ. I'm a wedding and family photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, and I believe that photographs aren't decoration. Your photographs are documentation of a life that's been fully lived. Loving people like Christ, paying attention to what matters to them, and showing up with intention is how I attempt to move through the world.

When we first booked Living Out Loud Productions for our wedding, we knew we were making the right choice, and four years later, that decision keeps paying off. LJ's communication was straightforward and supportive from day one, making the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, he brought such a positive energy to everything he did, capturing moments that felt genuine and full of joy. His photos turned out exactly how we hoped—sharp, beautiful, and full of life. We've loved working with him so much that we've hired him for every photoshoot since, and he's become a good friend along the way. If you want a photographer who is reliable, talented, and genuinely cares about your day, LJ is your person.

River Songs Photos. 10/10. Amazing price for an even better quality delivery of services. Both photographers were personable, easy to work with and very professional. They stayed with us the entire day of our wedding and captured some of the most beautiful photos we’ve ever seen. The quality of our photos were just breathtaking. The edits were done phenomenally. I can’t recommend River Songs Photos enough!!!!

I’m Brandon, a documentary wedding photographer based in Charlotte, NC. I photograph weddings with a candid, observant approach, focusing on the real moments, relationships, and atmosphere that make your day yours. I’ll give you direction when needed, but I won’t turn your wedding into a photoshoot. From quiet moments to wild dance floors, I want your photographs to bring you back to how your wedding actually felt. Available throughout Charlotte, the Carolina's and all across the East Coast. I shoot both digital + film for weddings.

From our first conversation with Brandon Pickett, we knew we had found our photographer. He stayed in touch before the wedding and even met with us in person to go over all the details, which made us feel completely prepared and at ease. On our full day at St. Mary's Chapel in Charlotte, Brandon had such a smooth presence that we barely noticed he was there capturing everything. His photos are absolutely stunning and totally unique—we will cherish them forever. Brandon communicated clearly throughout the entire process and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.
