Sarah Irvin Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Matoaka, WV

I feel so honored each time I am chosen to capture one of the best days of your life. I have been shooting weddings for 13 years and continue to learn and grow with each year that passes. When you invest in me, I take it to heart and will give you the best images to hang on your walls forever. While I'm technically there to capture your beautiful images, you'll also find me crying at the daddy-daughter dance, fluffing your dress a lot, and telling your partner things to make you laugh. My editing is true to color. I want you to look back on your day in 10+ years and remember the actual color of all of the details you specifically picked out!

2021 Bride Forever… Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the hardest decisions I had to make, because I knew it was going to be such an emotional day (my mother having a recent and sudden terminal cancer diagnosis) and having a surprise wedding, I needed someone who could capture it perfectly. Sarah did just that—and more. She handled every moment with such grace and gave us photos that are absolutely priceless. Sarah has been capturing all of my family’s special events and portraits for years, and she never fails to overdeliver. I love that her editing style is true to color—it makes every picture timeless and authentic. Even during the most chaotic family sessions, she somehow manages to get the perfect shots (which is no small feat with a squirmy toddler). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with my most important memories.

Hi! I’m Erica Agee, owner of Erica Agee photography and I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer. I specialize in weddings and elopements and love capturing special days that will be remembered for generations to come. I’ve been in business for the past decade and with photographing over 100 weddings, they all have something unique.

Erica was so nice and down to earth. She gave us so much information and helped give timeline examples. She was quick to respond to all of my questions and helped me make some last minute ceremony choices. On the wedding day she communicated with me and worked around all the many things going on at once. The photos turned out beautiful but it was Erica herself that was the best part. She listened to our wants and needs for the day and made it effortless.

From our first interaction, Sean and his team at Portraits By Sean were prompt, personable, and clear in their communication. Their exceptional, professional, and quick work captured the essence of our special day perfectly. Sean was laid back and brought great energy to our wedding, seamlessly capturing all the important moments without ever being intrusive. We had nothing but a positive and truly exceptional experience working with Sean from start to finish. Not only were our photos top-notch, but he took the time to get to know us as a couple and was able to beautifully document all the candid, unscripted moments that made our wedding day so memorable.

Aside from being an awesome human, Heather is a talented photographer. Don't know how to pose and feel super awkward in front of a camera like me? No worries, Heather's got you! She'll direct you on how to stand, how to put your hands, how your face should look, give you hot tips... all of it! She also has a sharp eye for beautiful landscapes.

The entire HCP team was so fun to work with you and will put you right at ease. I've gotten to do 3 shoots with Heather to date and am incredibly pleased with how our photos have come out.

Hey, hey my name is Ali. NY-based, but working nation-wide, I'm a wedding photographer who captures experiences, genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizes precious memories. I focus on visualizing how it felt to live your wedding day, while also crafting editorializations simply for the sake of intentional, living art. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

If I could give Brayley more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!! From the very beginning, she was amazing. She was so communicative when I was first looking for a wedding photographer, and as the wedding got closer, she was always quick to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. She made the whole process feel so much less stressful. On our wedding day, she was everything we could have hoped for. She was friendly, organized, and so helpful, and she truly helped the day run smoothly. She made my husband, me, and our entire wedding party feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which made such a difference. She was also just so much fun to be around. She brought the best energy all day and was the sweetest hype woman and cheerleader, which I absolutely loved. She made us feel so confident and made taking pictures feel easy. When she sent us our sneak peeks, we were honestly blown away. My stepmom and I might be a little biased, but we both agreed they’re some of the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. We are absolutely obsessed with them!! Brayley is so talented at what she does, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we’re so grateful she was part of our wedding day.

We had an amazing experience working with Pluvia Studios as our wedding photographer and videographer. He was incredibly intentional and truly listened to the shots and edits we wanted, which made the final video feel so personal and meaningful.

During our first intake call he was concise and walked through the package we were interested in. We were in awe by the timeless and beautiful photo gallery and videos we received that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. JayDee was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful to have our day captured so beautifully and highly recommend him and his team.

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

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’m here to create an experience that feels effortless, intentional, and unforgettable.

Ahh, what can I say about my favorite photographer!!! I've already done 3 beautiful shoots with her, one photo more beautiful than the other and they always become my screensaver for everything, cell phone, computer, iPad!!! Her work is incredible, she's always super patient, helps with every pose... gives tips on what to do as it's very common for us to be shy in front of the camera. Besides that, the way she delivers the photos shows love in every detail, beautiful details by the way. I highly recommend having your photos with her, she's the best.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

I’m a wedding photographer based in Virginia, and I care more about how your day felt than how perfectly it followed a plan. I show up calm, pay attention, and let things unfold naturally; giving direction when needed and stepping back when it’s not. I’m drawn to the in-between moments: the laughter, the quiet breaths, the way your people show up for you. Weddings are emotional, chaotic, joyful, and imperfect, and I’m comfortable in all of it. If you want a photographer who feels more like a steady presence than a vendor, you’re in the right place.

James is absolutely amazing! We hired James a little over a year ago for our wedding! We were not getting married in our hometown so we decided to find someone in the town would get married in! We had our Engagement session with James last year in June in Roanoke Virginia. We were nervous before going, because sometimes the first session with a new photographer can be a little uncomfortable. Ours was FAR from it! We had the absolute best time! We laughed a lot and James was so fun to work with! Not to mention the pictures we got back from it were absolutely incredible. I could not recommend James more! Before our wedding James kept in touch and up to date with everything! This helped ease my anxiety before our big day. James arrived ahead of schedule on our wedding day and got started immediately! He is by far our favorite photographer that we have worked with and we will definitely be making trips to Roanoke in the future just to book sessions with him because yes we love him that much! We got our wedding pictures back and they are absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better! We highly recommend booking James! You will not be disappointed at all! He is simply the best!

We are obsessed with what we do for a living and have been shooting together since we met. We offer both Photography and Videography services, and are skilled hybrid shooters.

Heirloom Digital Productions was the perfect choice for our wedding photography.

They were extremely dedicated to ensuring we got everything we wanted and more on our special day. The quality of their work was absolute perfection - they captured all the big events flawlessly, and also found a way to beautifully document all the heartfelt candid moments that we didn't even think about. The value they provided was more than fair given the outstanding quality of the photos.

Aireal was an amazing photographer! When looking back on our wedding day, we have so many photos showing all of the beautiful memories from the day, down to the little details! I’m awkward in front of the camera and she made the photos fun and comfortable! I can’t recommend her enough!

I'm so pumped you're here! I'm Kayla, and I'm a wedding photographer based in Jupiter, Florida, serving couples throughout Florida and beyond. Originally from Ohio and having spent the last three years in West Virginia - I still love serving couples in both places! My passion for photography started early, and today I specialize in capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, romantic, and true to you. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me at the beach, keeping up with pop culture and reality TV, or cheering on the Mets and Bengals (who don't always make it easy!). I can't wait to celebrate your story!

From our first conversation with Kayla Beals, we knew she was the right choice for our wedding. Her communication was fast and clear, which kept us organized throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kayla's sweet and bubbly personality fit right in with our group, and she had a gift for knowing exactly when to step in and calm my nerves as a bride. She kept everything running smoothly without us having to think twice about anything. The photos are absolutely stunning! We were speechless when we saw the sneak peeks she sent over the next day. We can't thank Kayla enough for making our day feel so special and stress-free.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of the Pittsburgh area, but don't let location deter you. There's nothing I love more than people in their element. I will happily meet you wherever you are.

Avery McCoy Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Avery's direct, compassionate and thoughtful communication style put us at ease. Her moody, creative, and playful style resulted in stunning photos that truly captured the spirit of our special day. Avery is so kind and sweet - she made even those of us who are uncomfortable with cameras feel relaxed and natural. I was so happy to have not only an amazing photographer there with us, but a friend. You won't regret having Avery be a part of your wedding day!

I’m Nikki. A Florida-based wedding photographer documenting the wild, sacred, beautifully imperfect parts of getting married. My approach is documentary, nostalgic, and a little bit undone. I’m there for the moments you didn’t plan for: your dad trying not to cry, your friends losing their minds on the dance floor, the quiet five minutes alone together, the weird little in-between moments you won’t realize mattered until years later.

Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!

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!!
