Xiao and her team at Just a Present @FilmbyXiao were a joy to work with for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, Xiao's communication style was kind, warm, and friendly - she immediately put us at ease and we knew we were in good hands. The quality of their work was beyond our expectations, with a great taste in capturing all the special moments of our engagement session. Xiao edited many more pictures than I had requested, and she met all my requirements for the photos, even using some of them for our wedding invitation card which received great feedback from our family.

Sound Originals did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! Ari and Ali were very professional and they understood how to set up good shots. I'm amazed by how good the lighting was in most of the photos, even in some rooms at the church that weren't as well lit. There are a few photos I wish had been full body rather than cut off at the ankles, oh well. At the end of the night when our coverage had ended before the wedding did, they waited till the end of a song before saying goodbye instead of interrupting, which we greatly appreciated.

Brandon R. Walker Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brandon was so great to work with! He was super flexible and very helpful. Our photos turned out amazing! We had them back in 2 weeks! His gallery is very easy to navigate, so you can pick and choose the prints you want. He was very personable and our guests loved chatting with him. He made the picture process so easy! Couldn’t recommend him enough.

“How does a handyman end up in the wedding industry?” It’s a fair question — and one I get often. I’ve always considered myself a jack-of-all-trades. For the last decade, I’ve worked with my hands on all kinds of creative and practical projects through my part-time handyman business. That business gave me the flexibility to support my wife, Cassidy, in her wedding planning and floral design work — and that’s where my path into the wedding world really began.

We love when Sean is the photographer for weddings we are delivering flowers to! He is so friendly and always sends us the galleries for us to use!

Jen Wright Photography offers engagement, wedding, and portrait services in the Northern Virginia area. For more information, please inquire. We're looking forward to connecting with you to help plan your special day!

We decided to hire Jen as our wedding photographer after talking with her on the phone (she’s SO nice!) and seeing that she had reasonable prices. We were so happy with our decision!! She was super friendly and easy to talk to. Neither my husband nor I had ever done a photoshoot, and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend having her do your engagement shoot as well, because it helped us all form a bond and I had ZERO concerns on the big day! She is very flexible and I felt like she was willing to do whatever it took to make our photos special for us. I was able to tell her exactly what I wanted, and she delivered all that and more! She knows what she’s doing, and her photos turn out beautifully. I asked for “fresh, bright, and candid”. We just wanted the photos to accurately reflect the essence of the entire day, and they absolutely did. She was flexible and willing to do what we asked of her, but also used her professional opinion and guided us when necessary. I had some poses that I wanted to try and she was always on board, and then her ideas were always amazing! Also, we got our pictures back SO FAST!! Lastly, she was amazingly flexible given the circumstances of having a “COVID wedding”. We would recommend her to anyone!
