Portraits By Sean

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Gainesville, VA



I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Working with Portraits By Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise. The team of two photographers and a videographer was amazing, capturing so many special moments that will forever stay with us from our wedding day. We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

Lotus Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Her professionalism and warm personality put us (and our guests) at ease, even though we aren't used to being in front of a camera. The photos she captured are stunning, and the price was unbeatable.

I want you to get to live your day, enjoy the real moments, and spend time partying, not modeling!

Katie was amazing to work with! Our wedding was on 10/11. We met with her once before when we first booked to share about our event. She asked great questions and genuinely wanted to get to know us. On the big day, she helped us feel at ease in front of the camera and captured who we are for both the formal shots as well as the more real candid moments. She is incredibly kind, knowledgable about her craft, and professional. She delivered photos in a timely manner and we even got a few sneak peeks a few days after the wedding. Our family and friends loved the photos and we couldn't be more happy with the results. And as a queer couple, finding vendors that are accepting and lead with love can be a challenge- we felt totally free to be ourselves which made everything even more special. Thank you Katie! Do not hesitate to book her services for your special day.

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.

We found Sara after requesting vendor recommendations from several venues we were considering, and she was listed on multiple lists - which felt like a great sign. When I checked out her Instagram, I immediately loved her style: vibrant, comfortable, classic, timeless, and incredibly detail oriented. I noticed she was going on maternity leave and wasn’t sure if our date would work with her schedule, so I felt incredibly fortunate when it did. From our very first phone call, Sara was authentic, fun, and a true ray of sunshine. What stood out most was how she checked in on me and our wedding planning as a whole (not just the photography side) which immediately showed how much she genuinely cared about me and our day. She was also so generous with vendor recommendations, including the planner who ultimately helped bring our entire vision to life. Leading up to the wedding, Sara was responsive and worked closely with my planner, which meant I never once worried about anything photography related. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond, capturing everything we could have hoped for, from flat lays and getting ready moments to the details of our tablescapes, décor, and even open dancing - all while being a new mom! She captured the details of our day with such efficiency and intention that I was able to truly live in the moment and spend time with our guests, which was incredibly important to me and speaks volumes about her experience. Her sneak peeks were delivered unbelievably fast, and our full gallery came just as quickly... both far sooner than expected while still done so beautifully and thoroughly. Sara is truly a gem, both as a person and as a photographer. We are endlessly grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough. Hire Sara for any photography needs, you will be so glad you did!

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!

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.

Brandon was great to work with. He was very accommodating with our requests and made sure everything was to our liking with the photos. The photos themselves turned out amazing and the final images were delivered to us fairly quickly.

I’m Jessica, the heart (and camera) behind Jessica Cassandro Photography—where love stories come to life, one candid, true-to-color frame at a time. If you’re obsessed with rom-coms, believe in grand gestures, and think 'The Notebook' was actually a documentary, then we’re going to get along just fine.

I have been so blessed to be able to work with Jess more than once and each time have been so impressed with not only her creativity, but her love for photography in general. Jess has amazing communication skills, and truly pours her heart out into what she does. She is such an amazing photographer and captures so much emotion in her work, we are so lucky to have our memories captured so beautifully by her! :)

We’re Joseph Paul Media, a Northern Virginia–based husband-and-wife photography and film team capturing weddings across the East Coast. We believe your wedding day should feel effortless and authentic. We move alongside you with quiet guidance when needed, stepping back when moments unfold naturally. With careful attention to detail and a focus on genuine connection, we capture the laughter, emotion, and energy that make your day uniquely yours.

Joseph Paul Media - where do we even begin?! This amazing duo was beyond fantastic, and I truly have no words. We have watched our video at least 100 times so far. They captured every perfect moment of our wedding day, including the smallest, most sentimental details! It’s something my husband and I will cherish forever and continuously look back on. Having this video means more to us than we could ever explain, and we already can’t wait to share it with our future children one day. It truly feels like we are reliving our wedding day every single time we watch it. I cannot express how important it is to choose this team and to have such a priceless memory to hold onto for the rest of your life! This is something you will forever cherish, and you will forever have Joey and Christin in your hearts. They are such kind, genuine, and incredibly talented humans who were truly born to do this work! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. We even took a few screenshots of our video just to prove how beautiful their work is, even though it still doesn’t do justice to just how stunning the video truly is! Do yourself a favor and choose Joseph Paul Media for your wedding day, their beautiful work is truly life changing! We love you guys forever!
