I booked Heather after seeing her photos posted by my venue and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world for having found her. Heather and her team are incredibly organized, professional, and kind. She was the rock I needed on our day to help us stay on track and to keep everything moving.

We could not be happier with our experience with Maria from MTD Photo Co. She photographed our entire wedding weekend, including our welcome party and the full wedding day, and truly exceeded every expectation. Maria was professional, warm, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We were blown away by how quickly everything was delivered — we received a sneak peek gallery within a week of the wedding and our full gallery just one month later. Every single photo is absolutely beautiful, and we are genuinely in awe of her work. She captured the emotions, the details, and all the special moments so perfectly. Her second photographer, Jackson, was equally wonderful — incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the entire weekend. Together, they made us feel comfortable and confident, and it truly shows in the photos. We are so grateful to have these memories so beautifully documented and cannot recommend Maria and MTD Photo Co. highly enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

  • Serves Kenna, WV

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

Maria was absolutely amazing to work with through every part of the process and I have absolutely no regrets. I wanted my wedding pictures to be soft and colorful and warm, and I could tell from her portfolio that she was able to make these beautiful scenes in almost any location. I was hard for me to find a photographer so was able to work with us to accommodate a packed 18 hours wedding day with two ceremonies and a reception, but Maria had lots of experience with Indian weddings and inter-cultural weddings so it was so easy to come to an agreement! When we first met with her over Zoom, my now husband and I expressed that we were a little concerned about how well we would come across on camera, since I usually feel awkward. But during our engagement session, Maria was so fun and gave clear direction so we ended up not only with some beautiful engagement pics, but also having a great time! On the day of the wedding, her team was so professional, prepared and funny! They were great at having us relax and have fun in the moments even with a busy schedule. They were also ready with a camera at all times and were able to catch pictures of so many quick moments during the Hindu ceremony. They found great locations to take pictures in front of, and the pictures turned out so amazing I can't even believe them! Maria even hand sewed part of my sleeve ruffle back on when it popped off just before the ceremony without hesitation. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and team, and I would happily work with her again for any future big life events :) Take a look at the photos if you want the proof!

I’m a Virginia-based photographer specializing in elopements and small weddings, capturing genuine and meaningful moments across Washington D.C., Virginia, and Maryland. More than just a photographer, I help guide couples from iconic city landmarks to scenic nature spots, making sure they have the best time on their elopement adventure. I’ve been telling real love stories since 2014, and as an eloping bride myself, I know how important it is to feel supported and free to celebrate your day your way. I’m here to create an experience that feels effortless, intentional, and unforgettable.

We had an amazing experience with Stephanie! She is very professional, friendly, and kind, which made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She really knows what she’s doing — from helping us with natural poses to capturing the most perfect moments. She also helped us choose the location for our elopement, making our special day feel truly unique and memorable. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the entire experience. She’s simply wonderful!

Welcome! I'm Leah! I'm all about the real stuff. Unposed and raw moments. I probably won't ask you to "sit still and then look at me." What I will ask you to do is "Tell them three things you love most about them," and I will be there to capture all the laughs, tears, and giggles for you to have forever. I am here to help tell your story!

Leah, I have never had so many people compliment on how beautiful both the engagement and wedding pictures are!! We were so impressed with your talent and how comfortable you made us feel throughout the day. Your eye for photography amazes me, and we both feel so blessed that you were able to capture one of the most important days of our lives! We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives!!
