Choosing Timeless Photo Video was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Steve (photographer) , Lia (videographer), Nancy and Kate (the coordinators) and the team were amazing to work with. They were punctual, professional, and had a great sense of humor, which made us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. We especially loved how they captured the candid moments and the emotions of the day. The video was edited beautifully, and the photos are breathtaking. We've received so many compliments from friends and family. Thank you, Timeless Photo Video, for giving us such precious memories to look back on!

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an introvert and more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

Awarded Best of Zola
As both a bride and a former wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Kaytlyn enough! From the very beginning, she was a dream to work with — professional, responsive, and so easygoing. We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor. If you’re a bride looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, capture your day beautifully, and handle everything with professionalism, look no further — Kaytlyn is the one!

I'm a Virginia based wedding photographer with a love for capturing your day in a way that feels most authentic to YOU. My experience with having my own COVID wedding has led me to appreciate all kinds of weddings, big and small. ◡̈ Virginia born and raised, I met my husband in middle school and we chose to be by each others' sides forever back in 2020! We are building a family and a life we love in Hampton, VA, but are always ready to go. He's my right hand man and will probably tag along every so often!

Hope was my son's wedding photographer and she did portraits for my family. I was blown away by how beautiful they all turned out. But what I really loved was how thoughtful she was during both. She made sure that her and her wonderful husband/assistant were everywhere all at once...lol. Capturing ever special moment with lots of detail. She isn't just a talented photographer she has an understanding of what moments NEED to be captured that you may never know aboutuntil she send you the gallery! Her heart behind what she does is in every photo. I can't recommend her enough!

We're Jim & Dakotah - a Virginia Beach-based husband and wife photographer/videographer duo. We specialize in delivering elevated-edgy imagery to wedding couples that seek something a little more dramatic and polished.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even begin? Choosing Dakotah as our photographer was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From our very first engagement shoot in the spring, she absolutely wowed us. She made us look and feel incredible — we’ve never felt more gorgeous or more like ourselves. We still look at those photos every single day and can’t get over how stunning they are. When the wedding day came (complete with rain and all!), Dakotah, Jim, and Anderson rolled with every twist and turn with total grace and humor. They made the entire day feel effortless. Dakotah and Jim are warm, funny, and make everyone around them feel comfortable and confident — including all of our guests. Anderson was amazing as the second photographer, helping capture every detail and moment we might have missed. The way this team works together is seamless. Dakotah’s direction and creativity are unmatched, and Jim’s presence behind the camera adds so much calm and fun to the day. We could truly feel how much they care about their couples — they listen, they adapt, and they help with absolutely everything. What started as a vendor relationship has truly turned into a friendship. I’ve never been more excited to get photos or messages from someone because I know whatever Dakotah and Jim create is going to be magic. Every single time, they blow us away. If you’re debating whether to book them, don’t wait another second — invest in them. You will not regret it. They are simply the best, and we cannot recommend them enough.

With an eye for the moments that matter most, I'm here to ensure that your special day is not only captured but transformed into a visual narrative that you'll treasure forever.

If you would like to connect with me, please visit my website to get started, this makes it easier for me to get in touch with you!

There are no words to describe the breathtaking photos that we received back from our October 14, 2023 wedding!! Every single picture is stunning and there isn’t one single picture that we (even a little bit) don’t like. Hannah and her SIL showed up and quickly got to work. That day it was raining from dawn until the start of the ceremony and they showed up with smiles and raincoats to get every shot imaginable. They not only captured the sentiments of us but also captured the party and joy in everyone else there. I can not recommend Quinn Photography enough and will 1000 times out of 10 pick them for all of my photography needs! If you’re still in limbo on finding a photographer rather it be for a wedding, family, couple, birthday, holiday or whatever your heart desires stop what you’re doing and reach out to them.

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. It is a pleasure, an honor, and a privilege to be a part of these legacies. The core of my business is serving YOU, my clients, my people, my pals.

We cannot recommend Kathleen enough! Our wedding included three different locations - a ceremony in the mountains, a reception indoors in a restaurant, and an after party downtown, as well as getting ready at a parent’s. Kathleen went out of her way to go to each location, and shot incredible photos, even though each location required different settings and expertise. She was fantastic at directing and wrangling family members and friends, and provided advice on the best location for photos. She is a wonderful person, and got along with everyone so well, going out of her way to provide mints and tissues. Kathleen knows when it’s important to take charge and when to step back, and she also let us flag her down for specific photos with friends and family members. Prior to the wedding, she was also incredibly professional, with a helpful website, structured planning meetings, and thorough contract. Most importantly, we got our sneak peak photos the next day, and they are STUNNING - she captured so many details, intimate moments, and thoughtful shots. Her process is clearly intentional, and the outcome has made us misty eyed! DO NOT HESITATE to hire this incredible woman!!!

I met Esra almost a decade ago while she was photographing my friend's wedding and I immediately booked her for myself after. Her professionalism on one side, but the way she makes you feel so comfortable in front of her lens is what she does best. Since then I have booked many sessions in Los Angeles/Orange County from professional headhots, family sessions, from endless pet photoshoots with every dog I had, she accommodates all of the ideas and themes I come up with and brings my vision to life. I even traveled for Virginia just so that she can shoot my wedding, and soon she will be taking newborn photos for us. Esra cares so much about her work that without even realizing she becomes family and you start to not think of a life milestone without her capturing the moments. A true passion for her work, absolutely recommend!

My excited, caring and spunky with a side of ‘hell yeah’ personality makes people feel comfortable, protected and loved. I meet people, hug them within seconds and it’s not awkward. Also, catch me slingin' jokes and dancing while I work or just on a Tuesday. I started my business three years ago, since then I've captured 102 weddings and over 200 couples, I can't image doing anything else! I’m married to Alex, love of my life, cat-doggy daddy, and muse. We fell in love after I called him a loser the moment we met. Since then we've lived in Hawaii, traveled the world and added two fur babies!

Cat was a dream to work with! Fun, friendly, unobtrusive! Captured the most beautiful formal shots but also the super fun candids! We were completely at ease and she made my notoriously camera shy/stiff husband look at ease in all the shots. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

My name is Samantha and I have been passionate about photography my entire life. I always had a camera in my hand! I had an epiphany that I could pursue photography as a career. I worked in a local photography studio before graduating high school and fell even more in love with it! Since then, I achieved my degree in Photography and worked in a couple other studios until I made the leap and started Samantha Lynn Photography back in 2009. Portrait photography is my absolute favorite medium. Just the thought that I am making a person happy by giving them the service of memories that will last a lifetime makes me feel so good about what I do.

Samantha Lynn Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first met Samantha to do our bridal portraits and wedding photos, we knew she was the perfect photographer for us. Her communication was always clear and trustworthy, and she was so kind and accommodating throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly amazing - the photos she captured of our special day are breathtaking and she delivered them to us so quickly. We've continued to use Samantha for all of our big milestone photos over the past 5 years and she has never disappointed. We can't recommend Samantha Lynn Photography highly enough - 10/10!

So what VWC does is they pair you with a photographer that they think will fit you and your style the best and let me just say, they knocked it out of the park. Ashley and (both!) Brianna’s were amazing, they made our day so fun and special! Their attitude and outgoing personalities were so fun to have on our day, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the amount of pictures we were taking! All my family and guests were raving about how much fun they were and how at ease they made everyone feel, and just how much they could tell they loved being a part of our day! As for the owners, Ashley & Luke, they very clearly love what they do and respect their customers. We had a bit of a snaffu early in our wedding planning process and they took care of it in such a professional and apologetic manner that my husband and I felt comfortable that we still would have them capture our wedding day. Honestly, their entire team was wonderful to work with and our sneak peeks are just absolutely amazing and iI truly cannot wait to see the rest of our album!

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

Elizabeth Yanna Photography was an amazing vendor to work with from our engagement shoot to the reception photos on our wedding day. Elizabeth has an easygoing communication style - she was always personable and clear in her instructions, which helped us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. The quality of her work is truly worth every penny, as she has an incredible eye for capturing candid, natural moments that perfectly reflect the joy and love of our special day. Elizabeth was incredibly flexible, easily adjusting to any delays in our timeline, and always made sure we got exactly the shots we wanted. I especially love the candid photos she captured, as her passion for that style of photography really shines through in the final results. Overall, we are thrilled with the beautiful memories Elizabeth has provided us through her exceptional photography services.

Untethered Times has been absolutely amazing to work with for my family photos. My son is not a fan of sitting still at all and is difficult to get him to cooperate in general. Emily was fantastic at distracting him and was so creative in doing so! She was very flexible when we had meltdowns, and the photo quality is outstanding that you would never know he was crying just minutes before! She was very personable and made us all feel relaxed.

A former newspaper photographer & editor, I truly love to capture authentic moments as they happen - commonly known as lifestyle photography. My favorite photos are storytelling moments filled with happiness & love. I'm also a sucker for gorgeous light, sunsets, trees, and ALL naturally beautiful outdoor settings. I'm a bit of a romantic and LOVE catching those in between funny moments when no one thinks I'm watching. My Client for Life program evolved when so many couples came back to me for newborn and family sessions - I LOVE building that relationship and becoming "their" photographer for life.

She made sure to get every single shot we asked for. Her skills are beyond unbelievable. She makes you feel so comfortable and makes sure you are having fun while taking all of your photos. She even helped me with our timeline, which helped the day run smoothly. Her turnaround time is extremely fast, unrivaled in the industry. We received our sneak peeks less than 12 hours after the photography ended. We received our full wedding gallery less than 2 weeks after our wedding date! We were blown away by all of the photos. Her editing is top quality and every single photo looks stellar. We could not recommend Ashley enough for any occasion, not just weddings!

I am a Virginia Beach and Outer Banks professional photographer and I grew up a few streets from the beach in Virginia Beach at the oceanfront, it is my ultimate happy place. If I am not in Virginia Beach, I am probably spending time in the Outer Banks with my boyfriend and our cocker spaniel puppy Wallen. I absolutely love those relaxing weekends spent in Kitty Hawk. My goal during your session or wedding is to be comfortable, have fun and absolutely GLOW in your photos! I want to showcase your emotions with your loved ones through my lens.

There are simply no words that would do Maddy justice, but I’ll try. We booked an engagement shoot with her a year before our wedding and from the moment she snapped the first picture, I knew she would photograph our wedding. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly FUN! She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day ever. I am not a fan of the traditional “posed” photos, but Maddy photographs you as you are- natural. She directs you In a way that makes you feel comfortable. She was able to capture my pure happiness on my wedding day. These photos will last a lifetime and I am so proud to say Maddy took them!

Being new to the Virginia wedding scene, I'm excited to connect with local couples to create timeless imagery that celebrates the area but most importantly, your love story. I take great care in capturing every moment as it naturally unfolds- focusing on the raw emotion, true-to-color tones, and the real atmosphere of your day. My approach is very documentary style, allowing me to preserve the honest beauty of your celebration without heavy editing or overposing. Each image is carefully crafted to reflect the story you tell so that when you look back, it feels exactly how it did in the moment.

I reached out to AS Media for my wedding photos and they did exceptional work. The team was small but they were fun and easy to communicate with. They excelled at capturing how beautiful my wife was on our wedding day.
