  • Photographer

  • Serves Gore, VA

I have unofficially been the family photographer for years. Whether it be formals or family reunions, I’m usually the one behind the camera. The two things I value most are my family and our memories. What better way to engrain a memory than having it in a timeless photo? That leads me to where I am today! I am here to learn, grow and along the way help other people freeze their memories in time, as I do my own. When I’m not behind the camera or with my nose in a book, I am with my two fur babies; Sadie and Nash; my life partner and best friend, Isaiah; or my family. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to meet you soon!

Kelsey is the BEST photographer! I knew we would choose her after browsing through her portfolio, we fell in love with her work! Kelsey is super professional and also super sweet. She is very patient and is a great communicator. Very quick to give you sneak peeks! We are beyond grateful for her taking the time to capture our special day, all of the small moments we find/found big to us to the big moments. We will definitely be using her in the future for any photoshoot needs as well as recommending her to everyone!

Hey there, I’m Elena! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Bristol, VA/TN, serving couples across Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina—with a special love for weddings in the DC and Northern Virginia area. My style is relaxed, playful, and observant, and I help camera-shy couples feel comfortable in front of the lens. Before weddings, I spent a decade as a travel reporter, which shaped my storytelling approach. I also offer a seamless photo+video bundle with my trusted videographer, so your day is captured beautifully—without any chaos.

Elena did a wonderful job capturing the pictures we wanted at our wedding. She was efficient. My husband and I did not want to spend a ton of time taking posed photos and wanted her to capture us dancing and living in the moment, and she did just that. We got wonderful pictures of us posing and of us dancing. Definitely recommend her!!

Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

I wish I could leave 10 stars instead of just 5! Karie and Holly were the best wedding bartenders I’ve ever experienced and I’m so thankful we decided to go with Shaken not Spurred! From the beginning Karie was incredibly excited to bartend our wedding. She offered everything but her cloths off her back to my wife and I on our special day. During the wedding Karie or Holly would come ask my wife and I if we would like any drinks while we were tending to guests or eating dinner. I’ll tell you what those girls know how to make a drink! All of our guests commented on how good the signature cocktails tasted and Karie and Holly would work with guests to meet their needs outside of the cocktail list if need be. Lastly their attention to detail is impeccable. I’ve attached images below of Katie’s personally designed signature drink menu that incorporates our wedding colors and a hint of holiday cheer. In addition Karie gifted us with this beautiful custom designed appetizers board with our last name and 2 rocks glasses. I will be revoking to Shaken Not Spurred to EVERYONE!

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
I wish I could give Lionel more than 5 stores because he truly is an immaculate photographer. My husband and I decided to have a smaller, more intimate wedding and Lionel elevated the entire day for us. From pre-ceremony pics, during the ceremony and afterwards he was absolutely professional, joyous to my hubby and our guests and he captured all of the quirky moments that are the essence of our love. He has a keen eye for detail and finds beauty in every aspect of the room to capture. I highly recommend Lionel aka Brotha with a Camera for your wedding needs no matter how big or small.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding at the club our families are members of in Rockville, MD. Prior to our wedding, we had worked with her to make sure our day would run smoothly, that there would be enough time for all the photos we wanted and of course that the entire day was covered. Jennifer was great! We did not need an engagement session, so we hadn't met, other than on zoom and via phone calls, prior to our wedding day. But you wouldn't have known it. She really did her research, took time to get to know us, what we liked and didn't like, and crafted a beautiful album for us and our families. She made sure that every image we took was what we wanted before moving on to other poses or group shots. She really made us feel like old, cherished friends and we invited her to stay after her time was up to enjoy the party and celebrate with us! We truly appreciate all her hard work, dedication and cannot wait to see her again soon for our maternity pictures! If she has your date available, don't hesitate, just book her, you will not regret it!

Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with. I felt SO lucky when I came across her work on social media - which was genuinely more beautiful than photographers charging 2x or more. I probably inquired with 10 photographers beforehand, but the moment I found Jenn, knew we'd choose her for her beautiful work. We loved our engagement photos, and she gave us (stunning) sneak peek wedding photos the day after our wedding! From her "detail" shots, teaching us how to pose (thanks!), scoping out the best spots for beautiful shots, creating a wedding day photography timeline for us - she was so professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. Also as a side note, she is an engineer and I don't know how she is blessed in equal measure with both left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She also has some very cool options, like Super8 film, polaroids, etc. that we opted to add on - her work is timeless and beautiful and I can't recommend her highly enough. Jenn - thank you so much for capturing these moments for us to look back on!

Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve said it many times during the wedding planning process and we’ll continue to shout it to the hills: hiring Kristy and her team was the best decision we’ve ever made and the best money we’ve ever spent. From the consultation and throughout the entire process Kristy was lovely to work with and incredibly friendly and personal but also always on top of everything. She flagged so many little details that we never would have thought of but led to a much smoother wedding day. Her detailed resources, templates, and documents were invaluable, but she was also flexible when I needed to make my own spreadsheets to keep everything straight in a way that worked with my brain. The timeline she created for us was a work of art and a thing of beauty and something I could have never done on my own. She included every single facet of the event from load in and load out for every vendor down to when we needed to bring our checkbook. Handing communications with vendors to her team in the last few months was amazing and definitely reduced our stress levels. While the timeline was delayed (due to another vendor), Kristy pivoted quickly and ensured that things got back on track and as close to the plan as possible. When we changed our mind on things mid-wedding (like if we wanted a more formal send off) she ensured that it was actually what we wanted but then changed to accommodate it. She also organized tear down of all the decor so that all we had to do was show up the morning after to pick up our belongings. As a queer couple, one of whom is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, Kristy and her team made us feel welcomed and affirmed for the entire process while vetting vendors to make sure they were LGBT friendly and listing our (and our wedding party’s) pronouns on resource sheets so that the whole vendor team was aware and misgendering was as limited as possible (and never by Kristy or her team). She (or a team member?) also recommended many amazing vendors to us including our amazing DJ who had the exact vibe we wanted (gay pop dance party) and ensured the dance floor was full and everyone loved the music choices. Kristy led our rehearsal like a (very nice) drill sergeant, which made it so much more efficient and effective than others I’ve been a part of. The ceremony went off without any major hitches and everyone (including 13 wedding party members, both of our parents, our officiant, and us) knew where they needed to be and when to do what. I was incredibly impressed and super grateful. It also ensured that I didn’t need to think or worry about the little details like making sure seats were reserved and that people started walking at the right time. My only regret is that we didn’t have the budget to have her team plan our rehearsal dinner as well. That experience versus the day of the wedding was a huge contrast. On the day of, I could answer every question with “ask Kristy” and she would always have the answer. As a very anxious and “type A” person I fully trusted Kristy and her team throughout the process which was wonderful for my sanity. I was able to offload all the thinking and logistics onto her and her team and be much more present at my wedding with my now wife and friends and family. Photos by Abby Carissimo.

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Hi, I'm K - and I can't wait to meet you. I believe your wedding ceremony should be uniquely yours and one you feel proud of. As a wedding officiant, I specialize in crafting custom ceremonies that are playful, joyful, and deeply sentimental—bringing laughter and heartfelt moments to your big day.

K was an absolute DREAM to work with! K was our marriage officiant, and she made everything easy for us. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, while also being a gifted writer who was able to share my and my husband’s love for each other during the ceremony. She interviewed my husband and I separately to get our thoughts on our relationship, and then put together the most wonderful ceremony for us, using the same communication style we used. We had many people tell us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had heard. She included so many details about our relationship that were meaningful to us. She helped us decide on things like how we wanted to be announced at the end of the ceremony and other things we hadn’t even thought about, so all of the “smaller” details were special to us, too. The picture I'm including shows how much we enjoyed the ceremony she put together! On the administrative side, she walked us through how to get a marriage certificate, and after the wedding, handled sending it in for us. Also, when she had an emergency come up and wasn’t able to attend our rehearsal, she was insistent on lowering her fee, since we originally planned for her to be there. It was unnecessary, as we understood things happen, but she insisted. Just another example of how wonderful and fair a person she is to work with. I can’t imagine anyone else having made our ceremony as special for us as K did.

My mission is to provide you with an unforgettable experience in front of the camera, as well as photographs that you'll treasure for a lifetime. I hope that the photographs I capture for you serve as a reminder of the love that lives within you and your loved ones.

Mariandree was a real gem to work with! We had originally planned our ceremony and small reception for Dec. 2020, but because of COVID had to make some changes. We kept our outside (super cold) ceremony for that December and Mariandree was more than willing to accommodate, given the circumstances. She was a real trooper out there with us on the freezing Waterfront, and we got some amazing photos back within a week! Mariandree was more than gracious to allow us to reschedule the second half of our photoshoot for September 2021 where we finally got to enjoy a small backyard reception. She brought her sister along as a second photographer for the first round, and her mom for the second. It made it really fun and relaxing because she got along so well with my own mom. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mdree Photography for your wedding! She is organized and makes sure to deliver. She has a really fun, youthful, and thoughtful personality, so expect to really enjoy having her capture your special moments.

Paul Cole is a fantastic individual and an even better photographer. I have worked with him both as a primary shooter and a second photographer. Paul’s calm demeanor brings tranquility to the the chaos that is a wedding day. This gives his couple the space to breather and take in the day. As a photographer his creativity knows no bounds and is always willing to go the extra miles for his couples. This can be seen in the images he produces and the moments he captures. Highly recommend Paul for any couple looking for a photographer for their wedding.

I’m a born and raised Kentucky girl who loves to travel, pet dogs, and listen to the rain. I love love and I can't wait to capture yours. When I'm not taking photos, you can find me reading something in the fantasy genre, listening to Taylor Swift, or surfing Pinterest.

Having Sydney as our wedding photographer was truly a gift. Her mind, creativity, vision, talent, and big heart will never cease to amaze me. Neither myself, my husband, or any of our friends or family have spent much time in front of a camera but Sydney made it feel like such a fun and natural process for all of us. She is such a kind hearted, charismatic, funny, personable person to have around and really did bring such an added light to our big day. From our first inquiry to the delivery of our photos, she was so on top of communication, took the time to understand our vision and what we were looking for and just made the whole process so simple and easy!! We will forever cherish our wedding photos and always be so glad that we chose Sydney as our photographer!

A photographer is easily one of the most important vendors of a wedding day. Without the memories and the photos, it’s hard to just remember every little thing. Our photos and all the details are so beautiful and so lovingly captured. Erinne and her second shooter did an amazing job capturing everything and corralling my large family for portraits, as well as our wild bunch during dance time. I will forever treasure the images she captured and want to print them all if that tells you anything! It’s amazing how they captured so many moments during such a busy and quick day. She is such a sweet and kind human and does amazing work too. Thank you Erinne!

I'm a full-time wedding photographer currently based out of a little town in the middle of the mountains of Western Maryland. I have a serious case of wanderlust, an obsession with castles, all dogs, Game of Thrones, and pretty much anything that takes me outside.

Mel is truly a one-of-a-kind photographer. I’m an over planning, anxious person and bride. My photos were my top priority of my wedding day and it was extremely important to me that they were what I wanted. I had searched for what seemed like forever and stumbled across Farfalla and immediately knew it was the style I had been searching for. The contrast makes the photos intimate without comprising them and being too dark. And there is no give in color, it’s beautifully there. I call it intimately colorful, which is what my day is all about. I knew our engagement photos would be good but they surpassed anything I imagined. They were STUNNING. My fiancé is not a picture person but we both felt so comfortable within 10 minutes of the shoot. We laughed, joked, and had fun the whole time, photographer included! She just has the most fun personality that would be needed on your wedding day and from day 1 with all my questions, Mel responded within a timely manner and eased all my worries. Up to this point, I’ve texted her several times regarding the photos or canvas I’ve ordered and she’s always just so sweet and excited! It always makes you feel special by the end of a conversation. All I have to say is, you get what you pay for. Quality wedding pictures are an investment, but it’s a lifetime investment. And you want to make sure you’re investing in the right person. Mel is that person, and you will have no regrets.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

From the moment we booked Prest1ge Photography for our wedding, their communication was amazing and timely. On the day of our wedding, they kept us on our timeline and even helped the groomsmen with their ties, showing their attention to detail. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos were absolutely beautiful and creatively captured all the special moments of our day. We couldn't be happier with the value Prest1ge Photography provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
