Annemarie Deale Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Merrifield, VA

Annemarie Deale is a Washington, D.C. wedding photographer who takes a balanced approach to the way she captures you and yours. With a knack for authentic storytelling, she works to capture a combination of artful, composed imagery and joyful candids that exude the energy and preserve the emotions of your event. She believes deeply that both the aesthetics of your day (which are sure to be stunning) and the spirit of your celebration deserve equal attention and documentation.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Annemarie was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. I was incredibly picky when choosing a photographer and talked to over twenty photographers before deciding on Annemarie. Her calmness, attention to detail, photography style, and clarity in communication made her the perfect photographer for any couple. When I look back on our wedding photos, I feel as if I am reliving the day over and over again because she did such an amazing job capturing the raw, unfiltered, real moments of the day. My husband does not love poised photographs and not only did Annemarie get him to do it, she was also able to beautifully capture the little moments in between. Annemarie was respectful, kind to our guests, and ensured every photograph I wanted was captured (and even was able to photoshop a photo or two that I forgot in the craziness!). She went above and beyond for our day, staying longer than originally intended and hiring an extra second. I loved working with her and truly could not recommend Annemarie more highly and will be using her services for all future events!

Our aim is to offer couples a unique perspective, showcasing the beauty of their special day through detailed compositions & genuine emotions—while ensuring that the entire experience remains enjoyable & relaxed for everyone involved!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Karisa at Love, Lomax Studios was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Before we booked her, she eased all our anxieties by having a call with us to better understand our vision, explain how she works, and what we could expect from the relationship. One thing we really appreciated was how clear her pricing was. Nothing made me more anxious that reaching out to a vendor and having no clue what the financial commitment might be. With Love, Lomax Studios, we could see up front what the cost would be and everything a package included. My husband and I went for the "capturing everything" package and it was everything we could have wanted and more. Karisa was so easy to work with- both in person for the engagement shoot and then wedding, but also offered the perfect amount of communication before and after the shoots. Her communication style is clear, loving and friendly, and concise. We felt supported by her, in a way I hadn't even expected from a photographer, and she was so fun and game to try goofy shots we had in mind. I also had my makeup artist comment on how professional she was, knowing exactly how to work around the other vendors onsite, in a way that apparently isn't always the case with other photographers. Not only is Karisa a delight to work with, but she is extremely skilled and her photographs are AMAZING. Every single person who seems them can't help but gush over them. Karisa has such an eye for capturing intimate, beautiful, and real moments. It made choosing photos for our album so hard, but of course Karisa stepped in to help us there too! I could go on, but in all hiring Love, Lomax Studios was once of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others in the area. Thank you so much, Karisa!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Michelle as our wedding photographer. She captured not only the two days of our wedding weekend but also our bridal shower and engagement shoot, and we are beyond thrilled with the results. Michelle’s kindness and thoughtfulness shone through in every interaction. She truly cared about us and always put us first, making sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout the process.

The photos are stunning and timeless, each one telling a story and bringing us right back to those special moments. What truly set Michelle apart was her ability to seamlessly blend into the events while still capturing every important detail. She managed to be everywhere at once without being intrusive, and her calm demeanor was a steadying presence during such a busy time. She was a safe face/person that weekend for sure! We are so grateful to Michelle for not only her work but the friendship we have created with her! She gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.

  • Serves Merrifield, VA

I'm Aimee, and I believe in wedding photos lasting forever and telling your story in a way that spans across generations. Your story might be a civil ceremony with a rainbow chuppah, just the three of us and a witness on your front porch, a gorgeous celebration with your overflowing circle of friends + family, or a traditional church ceremony like the one your parents had 40 years ago. Whatever it is, we want to capture and preserve the moments that make it special to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were a couple determined to plan our party-only wedding independently, and weren't sure we wanted to spend the money on photography. Aimee far exceeded expectations and we are so glad we went with her (in fact, we think she probably undercharged us!). In addition to the photos being absolutely gorgeous and perfectly capturing our intended vibe (private and romantic vows outside in a lush garden space, followed by a big indoor rager party), she went above and beyond just photography. She helped us plan our day-of itinerary, gave us tons of ideas to nail our vision for photos and vibe/energy, and even helped pick out our final accessories (we fondly think of her as our quasi maid of honor and best man, since we didn't have any wedding parties). I will always remember her wiping water from my bouquet on her t-shirt every time she took it out of the vase for me or playing my request hype song as she drove us from our vow location to our reception. We adore Aimee and she exceeded every expectation, and ultimately made our wedding exceed every expectation.

They are very sweet and down to earth, with hearts of gold. I don't know where to begin to express how truly grateful we are that they came into our lives, and were there to capture our special day. I highly recommend them, the pictures they capture are beautiful. Jennifer is there even if you need someone to bounce an idea off of, and she will continue to check on you even after your big day!

I specialize in capturing the real, candid moments during your wedding day. My approach is all about blending seamlessly into your event. Clients often describe me as calm, cool, and personable. While I take a variety of photos, I stay in the background, moving fluidly throughout the day. My goal is to preserve those fleeting moments, often capturing details you might not have noticed in the excitement of the day. My role also is to make your day stress-free. Whether it's helping direct family for portraits or keeping things running smoothly, I'll be by your side to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

Making personal connection with you is important to me. I believe in serving couples from every background and the more I learn about you the better I can serve you as your wedding photographer. I currently reside in DC but have also living in LA, The Bay Area, and Morocco.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

We did an engagement shoot with Barbora and we couldn’t be more pleased with the photos and QUICK turnaround! We were new to photoshoots, and Barbora kindly guided us through the process, telling us exactly where to stand and how to pose. The poses weren’t overly rigid though, she gave us prompts that helped us get into poses more naturally. She was so fun to work with and we had a great time and great conversation. All the photos in the gallery she curated were bright, beautifully composed, and professional. We can’t wait to work with her again!

our photographer was one of the most important vendors to me and I am so glad that I went with Jennifer Fern. In our initial conversation she seemed so quietly confident and comfortable- she knew who she was and her style and either it was for you or it wasn't. She was exactly what we needed able to manage large families and get everyone in line without being overly posed or pushy. She made the day seamless, and then the photos. She produced amazing photos in difficult situations (high wind) and got sneak peaks back in just a few days. I could not say more about how wonderful she was to work with and how happy I am with the photos.

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

I cannot recommend Vanessa enough! The photos from our wedding are absolutely stunning — truly everything I dreamed they would be and more. She was incredibly organized, communicative, and on top of every detail from start to finish. I’ve known her for a long time, and getting to work with her on something so special meant the world to me. Vanessa and her husband Patrick (the second shooter) captured every single shot perfectly — nothing was missed! As someone who usually shies away from being in front of the camera, she made me feel so comfortable, confident, and, most importantly- beautiful. She knew exactly how to pose me and my now-husband in our engagement and wedding photos. She is truly gifted. I am completely and utterly obsessed with her and her work. If you’re considering Vanessa for your wedding or any event, do yourself a favor and book her. Not choosing her would be a mistake!

Amanda was the best choice for our wedding photographer. I was overwhelmed by the cost of other photographers and often felt like photos were too posed or stiff. We also had a lot of family dynamics to work with with several blended families. But Amanda's calm, kind, and patient personality immediately put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, Amanda blended seamlessly into the guests, capturing the most beautiful, fun, and editorial shots without us even realizing she was there. The value we received was incredible - the previews we've seen so far are beyond what we could have imagined, perfectly preserving all the special moments that made our day so unique and memorable.

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!

We did a spring engagement shoot and wanted even more photos so opted for a second session in the fall, and I felt like the price for an additional hour was super fair and we got a ton of amazing photos (and with our 80lb dog which is not an easy ask)! They really made sure to get to know us and understand what kind of style we are looking for and I feel so confident with them being the photographers on our wedding day!

I am a modern-day storyteller, wielding my camera as my pen to capture the tales that unfold before me. With a passion for freezing time in the most exquisite way possible, my photographic journey has been a remarkable one. Through the lens, I unearth the extraordinary within the ordinary, revealing the beauty that often hides in plain sight. From the gentle play of light on a dew-kissed leaf to the raw emotions in a candid portrait, I believe that photography is the art of preserving fleeting moments and emotions.

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

Having a good photographer was one of my priorities for my wedding. I knew the day was going to be a whirlwind and I wanted to be able to look back and at least have one photo where my eyes weren’t closed or something. Lauren absolutely delivered — I don’t think we’ve ever looked as good in pictures and I know I probably won’t again!! Lauren also recommended Elizabeth for our day-of coordinator and I don’t know what we would have done without her — I definitely would have lost my mind, of that I’m sure. First, I can’t overstate the importance of finding a photographer with whom you have a good rapport — Lauren has this charisma where you instantly feel at ease and like you’ve known her your whole life. It frankly made me less nervous and I think that translates really well in the photos. She’s also a master of making you look the best in posed photos - giving little positioning directions that you look elegant without looking stiff. Every time I look at the pictures I’ll notice another candid moment that Lauren managed to capture or simply marvel at how she somehow can translate emotion in a still picture — I find myself smiling and definitely not crying (jk definitely crying) because you can FEEL what we were feeling in these photos. Second, get you a planner who is superhuman. Elizabeth took over six weeks (!) before the wedding and it was like a literal weight was lifted from my shoulders. At our first meeting she went through her checklist (and mine bc of course I had my own) and said “I’ll take care of it” to literally everything... and then...did?? I was fully prepared to have to follow up with vendors and micromanage but I basically didn’t have to do anything. It was magical. Elizabeth and her team did so much work and went above and beyond in literally every way to ensure we had a perfect day. Anyway, if you’re struggling with choosing a photographer because there are 72525 million to choose from, and you like the style of Lauren’s photos, go for it ASAP. Lauren is incredible and I feel so lucky that we were able to work with her. And if you need a day-of coordinator (or a full blown wedding planner!) pick Elizabeth - she has the eye for design and the capability to pull it off and pull it off well!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire John! The pictures are gorgeous and he was so easy to work with. Neither of us are super comfortable with pictures and John provided just the right amount of guidance and everything turned out perfect. Can’t recommend him enough!
