Welcome! I’m Jenna Coyle. I’m a photographer working and living in Northern Virginia. I have always been drawn to art, but portrait photography captured my heart. I find joy in providing my clients with wonderful memories they can cherish for a lifetime.

If you're looking for a cool, smart, TALENTED photographer, Jenna is your girl. My Husband and I were looking for someone to match our energy on our wedding day (goofy, chill (or doing our best to be) and above all else FUN). Jenna knew exactly what we were going for from the start. She was able to hang out and joke around with our wedding party while still delivering the most gorgeous photos I've ever seen. She offered helpful posing tips and no on ever felt self conscious or awkward. Also sorry this review took me 5 months to write, wedding planning burnout is real y'all. Love you Jenna! Ps, she got the cutest pictures of our dog.

I'm a laid back, upbeat and silly (some might say incredibly funny, but whatever) person with a penchant for making everyone feel like an old friend. I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first Zoom call we had with Rachel, we could tell she was our kind of person. She was very knowledgeable and had great advice leading up to the wedding. We also loved the engagement shoot we did with her, as it gave us the chance to get to know her a bit in person and get comfortable so that there was no awkwardness on the day-of. Rachel embodies the perfect balance between professionalism and personable. She’s goofy and funny yet fully in charge and assertive. Her personality meshed so well with ours and it really showed in the pictures. She captured the candid special moments beautifully and also gave great direction for the posed formals. She did an outstanding job wrangling my massive & hectic family! We were so happy with how the photos turned out - it’s been challenging to pick favorites to print because they’re all great!! I can’t say enough good things about Rachel (and her assistants)! If you’re on the fence about booking her or worried about the cost, I can say she’s 100% worth it!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

Hi there! I'm Anthony Parker, a passionate and Published wedding photographer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With years of experience in the field, I have developed a strong expertise in capturing the most precious moments of your special day. Photography has always been my true passion, and being able to document the love and joy that radiates from couples on their wedding day brings me immense joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband I were lucky enough to have Anthony as our photographer with the East Coast Event group. Anthony was with me (the bride) for the morning and he was phenomenal to work with. Very relaxed (at least it seemed haha) and didn't add any stress to the day but gave direction and professional opinion when needed. I have to admit, I didn't have much of a plan when it came to photos but he truly captured everything I wanted and took the best candids that I will cherish forever. He also made a point to ask us several times throughout the night if there was any specific photos that we wanted. Our one wish was to take a lot of staged shots before the ceremony so that we would make it to our cocktail hour and he made that happen, no problem! My husband and I are beyond happy with the photos we received (very quickly after the day) and recommend Anthony to anyone!!

I’m Laura - a photographer and lifelong storyteller who believes that being human is the art. I create imagery for people who don’t always see themselves in traditional photography: the dreamers, the artists, the misfits, and anyone still reaching for the clouds. My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are to Laura. She’s the perfect photographer for our day and would be the perfect photographer for anyone and everyone. We have a rowdy bunch and she could hang while keeping everyone organized. She’s part of the reason our wedding day ran AHEAD of schedule which is basically unheard of. The pictures are phenomenal and everything I wanted. She let us add on extra time basically day of cause we ended up deciding we needed her for way longer than contracted. She’s professional when needed but it also feels like you’re working with a friend. Me and my husband are not comfortable in front of a camera but she was our hype man and made us look amazing. This review doesn’t even scratch the surface of how much I recommend Laura. But just do it. For real. Laura we miss u can’t wait to see you for the maternity photos in a few years!

If you’re looking for a photographer, stop scrolling and book Natalie RIGHT NOW. Seriously. Of all the photographers I’ve ever worked with, she is hands down the best—most professional, most creative, and just an absolute gem of a human. From the jump, her communication was top-tier (no ghosting, no stress—just vibes and efficiency). On the day of our courthouse wedding, she showed with the biggest smile, the kindest energy, and a creative vision that had us feeling like movie stars. She was so attentive throughout the shoot, catching every little candid moment while also directing us in ways that felt natural and effortless. The photos came out so beautifully and we'll have them hanging in our home for decades to come. We got so many edited shots to choose from, and the turnaround time was ridiculously fast. Honestly, if you’re debating who to hire—debate over. Natalie is THE ONE. Best in the game, no contest. 10/10, would get married again just to work with her.
