My passion has always been to serve people & love them well! I used to work in the medical field & found that passion for others & wanting to freeze time flow into my Photography business! I saw how sudden life could change or be taken in my career as an occupational therapist! I knew I wanted nothing more than to give people tangible items to look back on and treasure for years to come! Also, who doesn’t love, love? It’s so stinking sweet!

Working with McKenzie for our elopement was so easy. From the moment we reached out to her, she made us feel completely comfortable. She took the time to understand our vision and tailored the experience to perfectly match our intimate celebration. She made sure the we met before the wedding so that we were comfortable with her. On our big day she was incredibly professional, and yet, so personable, making us feel like we were with an old friend. The photos are beyond stunning and turned out better than I could have imagined. She captured every beautiful moment. We couldn’t be happier with the memories she has given us. If you're considering a photographer you will be happy if you choose Finchland Photography. Not only does she deliver gorgeous photos but also brings an incredible level of care, making the whole process seamless and stress-free. My husband and I will be using her in the future to capture all of our life events. Thank you so much McKenzie, we will cherish these memories forever!!

Larabelle Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $999
  • Serves Gretna, VA

I'm an NYC fashion photographer turned wedding storyteller. After years in the fashion world capturing beautiful imagery for models, fashion influencers, and musicians, my inclusive work found its way into articles from Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Buzzfeed, and People. Having been recently married myself, I have fallen in love with documenting real moments and real love. Now, I specialize in photographing weddings with an editorial edge and a heart-forward approach. My style is natural, inclusive, and focused on making you feel confident, seen, and celebrated in every image. I'm based in Crewe, Virginia, but always ready to travel for love!

There are people you come across in life where the ease of conversation translates and you find yourself wanting to cross paths with this person again. This is the case with LaraBelle photography! Met her by chance at a bridal show and after seeing her images I recognized such a beautiful aesthetic with her work! Straightforward, clean, crisp and beautiful photography are words I’d use to describe her work. She’s very quick to turn around a gallery and you can tell her passion for photography and documenting special occasions precedes her. I highly recommend hiring LaraBelle for all of your photography and video needs. You can’t go wrong! I look forward to working with her in the future!

Erin and the entire OLAS team were an absolute dream from start to finish. From our very first phone call to receiving the final gallery, everyone was kind, professional, and so helpful. Erin was a calming, joyful presence all day long – giving gentle direction exactly when we needed it and somehow making us feel like total naturals in front of the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking. She captured the giggles, the happy tears, the little glances – every moment that made the day feel like pure magic. Steve and I keep saying we’ve never smiled so much in our lives, and now we get to relive it forever because Erin caught our love so perfectly. If you’re getting married: book OLAS. 10/10. Marry your best friend and let OLAS capture it. We’re obsessed and will recommend them to everyone we know! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding day even more unforgettable.

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 ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé (now husband) found Casie for us during the wedding planning process, and I immediately fell in love with her work! Her darker style was exactly what I was looking for and her wedding engagement package is extremely well priced. Working with her felt like meeting up with an old friend. I was very worried about how I would feel about posing and if I would look awkward and she did such an amazing job directing me in a way that felt natural. I have not received a picture from her that I do not like. Casie also made the planning process so easy. She even met with me over facetime to address some anxiety I was having regarding the timeline. I ended up adding 2 hours to the photography package (again, very reasonably priced). Overall, I genuinely have nothing bad to say about Casie and her work. She is a joy to work with, her work is incredible, and she is such a fun person to be around!

When we saw our photos from our wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens, we were blown away—Brandon told the story of our wedding perfectly, from the big celebrations down to the quiet details we almost missed. His work is stunning, and he truly understood the vision we had for our day. We'd absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about both the craft and the experience.

Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph.

I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

Hello! My name is Chayil (pronounced just like Kyle), and I am a photographer and creative storyteller with a focus on weddings, elopements, and lifestyle portraits. Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even begin to write a review that expresses how obsessed I am with the photos and service we received from Chayil McGlotten, she truly knocked it out of the park. Chayil’s positive energy and friendly personality brings exactly the tone you need for your day. You could not find a better photographer if you’re looking for true to color, gorgeous photos, showcasing the love and story of the day, all while she also acts as the best hype woman you could ask for. I cannot recommend her and her team at Black Pepper Photography enough. We did our engagement photos at our venue, which ended up being on a fairly dreary day, but Chayil’s amazing skills still managed to highlight the beauty of the location and our excitement. She is incredibly easy to work with, quickly making us comfortable (especially my husband who is not a huge fan of taking pictures) by alternating smoothly between suggesting poses and taking candid photos if we were naturally in a good position. It was so hard to pick just a few photos for our Save the Dates when we received so many, despite having booked just a 30 minute session. On the wedding day, Chayil arrived with amazing energy, helping ease my nerves about the timeline and making sure I got every photo I wanted and then some! She also brought the videographer, who made the most stunning wedding video highlighting our special day. We have received our sneak peaks, and every photo is better than the last, they are all so flattering and gorgeous. Black Pepper Photography documented our day better than I could have ever dared to dream - thank you!!!

Hi, I'm Hannah! I’m a Greenville, SC wedding photographer, available for weddings throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, and beyond. I love soft light, rich color, timeless edits, happy tears, a focus on the little details, and couples who are really, really into each other.

I'm a wedding coordinator, and working with Hannah was SUCH a dream. She was responsive, extremely kind, helpful, and totally on top of her game at the wedding we worked together. I didn't have to worry if she was on time or ready for the next event - she was always there, ready and smiling! Her pictures were also perfect - the editing was just what the couple wanted, and she returned them quickly. Highly recommend her!

We were on the fence about hiring a wedding photographer - ours was a small, DIY, backyard wedding but we are SO grateful that we went for it and worked with Maria. She captured the day perfectly and we'll have all of the special moments she captured in the photos to look back on forever. Maria was extremely thoughtful and helped us think through what was important to us with the photographs. Were were really excited to get the first looks back (really quick turnaround time) and relive the day. The quality and perspective of the photos is beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. Can't recommend Maria enough!

I am a portrait photographer based in Roanoke, Virginia. I have always had a passion for capturing special moments, mostly of my family. I have been the designated family photographer for as long as I can remember and have been offering my services professionally since 2021. When I'm not at a shoot, you can likely find me with my nose in a book, cheering on the Chicago Bears, or capturing memories of my own.

From our first conversation with Kelsey Rae Photos, we appreciated how easy she made the entire process. She was incredibly sweet and professional throughout our engagement, and when we needed to make last-minute changes, she adapted without hesitation. Kelsey put genuine effort into capturing our day, and it showed in every photo. She went above and beyond what we expected, handling details we didn't even think to ask about. We felt confident in her work from start to finish, and our photos turned out beautifully. We'd absolutely recommend Kelsey to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their wedding day.

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Jesslyn is immensely talented. Our photos are so beautiful and are indicative of the level of skill she possesses. Working with her was a pleasure, she is communicative, and made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. Not to mention she was such a lovely presence at our wedding, our family still talks glowingly about her two months later. Overall we cannot praise Jesslyn enough, we would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.
