Hi, I’m Daniel! I am a wedding photographer based in Winchester, VA. I love capturing both the timeless, must-have shots and the real, unscripted moments that make your day unique. My style blends traditional photography with a creative eye for detail and emotion. Whether it’s a quiet look between you and your partner or the way light filters through during golden hour, I aim to tell your story in a way that feels both honest and artful. Weddings move fast, but I want your photos to slow things down and bring you right back to how it all felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Daniel is such an incredible photographer! We loved his style - he really captured the romance and celebration (aka reception) of our wedding day in such beautiful and creative ways. He was awesome to work with- he came with ideas for poses, was up for taking photos for a social media trend per our request (the wedding sunglasses trend), was very responsive to questions or ideas we had, and was just overall fun to talk to! Cannot recommend him enough as a photographer for engaged couples!

Awarded Best of Zola
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 ;)

Hi there, I’m Zaida and I’m a full time wedding, portrait and lifestyle photographer (yes, I do destination weddings) based in Fredericksburg, VA and I do travel wherever you need me! I am married to a handsome man and I’m also a mom. I am from the Dominican Republic, raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I capture special moments with creativity and a uniqueness that separates me from the rest. I love to travel, spend time with my husband, play with my little ones, eat and I have a sweet tooth!

Awarded Best of Zola
Zaida and her husband were incredible. I couldn’t ask for a better team to capture our big day! We discussed expectations and a shot list beforehand and they exceeded my expectations. The sneak peak arrived less than a week after the wedding and the final edits were delivered on time! Not only did they make both me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera, but by the end of the night they felt like family. If you’re debating which photographer to go with, Zaida is the one. 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.

I cannot recommend working with Sophia enough. She was communicative, prompt and very efficient. She really worked with us what we wanted for the day in a short time frame and the photos just speak for themselves. We truly could not be happier that we chose to work with her!

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!

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!

Hi, I'm Nathan. I don't just photograph weddings—I witness them. With a calm, steady presence and deep respect for what you hold sacred, I work without intrusion so you can stay fully present while your day unfolds. I'm drawn to the moments that often pass unnoticed: the breath before the aisle, light spilling through stained glass, a parent's quiet tears as vows are exchanged.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before the wedding, Nathan was attentive and details-oriented as he helped us plan and figure out what photos were the most important to us. He met with us over Zoom and in-person at the venue to walk through the day and provided countless suggestions and tips to make sure the photography and ceremony went smoothly. During the wedding, Nathan took both phenomenal posed photos and brilliant candids. He was a constant presence with a cameras holstered on each hip, like a cowboy with lenses instead of six-shooters. He worked quickly to get us a selection of social-media ready the same day, perfect to share with family across the world who couldn't make it. After the wedding, Nathan's editing and communication skills are top-notch. He even drove out (over an hour!) to take some photos of a sapphire ring of my new wife's - it's a family heirloom she wore during the wedding that she wanted additional photos of. When we tried to pay for these additional photos, he waved us off. Nathan truly went above and beyond the call of duty. In terms of quality, the photos he took are top-notch. We have fantastic posed photos, often with little touches he suggested in the moment to ensure we looked relaxed, smiling, and at our best. His candids are some of my favorite photos in the world and perfectly capture what was a perfect day. Nathan's humor, attention to detail, and devotion to getting every shot right make hiring him one of the best wedding decisions we made. I would heartily recommend hiring Nathan and plan on calling on him if we have photography needs in the future.

  • Serves Gainesville, VA

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.

On the day of the wedding, they went above and beyond - Andreah arrived early to help with setup, even though that wasn't part of her job, and she stayed for two days to make sure we got every shot we wanted.
