Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced. Arlene worked quietly behind the scenes, capturing every emotional, joy-filled detail so naturally that it feels like we’re reliving the night every time we watch our video.

“The photographer was amazing! The company had great communication. My original photographer fell ill less than a week before the big day, and they resolved everything before I even knew what was happening. Our new photographer match was perfect! Easy to work with and the photos came out perfect! We can't stop looking at them.”

Darcy Troutman Photography

Rating: 5.0 (63 reviews)

“Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we LOVE our photos. She truly captured the emotions of the day and the essence of all the people we love the most. Any time i look at our photos, i find myself involuntarily smiling. She captured the classic posed photos AND the precious in-between moments where people are being their most authentic selves (the face my dad makes when he's really intently listening, the hand gestures my mom uses when she's explaining something and can't find the right words, the face my mother in law makes when she's cracking herself up, the face my father in law makes right before the tears fall, and so so many more). Not ONLY are her photos amazing, but she made us feel so relaxed on the day-of. Her style is totally unobtrusive, which is just what we needed. Darcy got such amazing photos of all our guests we put 4x6" prints in our thank you cards and people were SO appreciative. She's on fridges across America. Comments we've gotten in response to Darcy's photos: "WOW your photographer is phenomenal", "this is the best photo of us in existence", "you guys look so happy!", "I feel like the photographer really captured your personalities" If capturing joy is important to you, hire Darcy. My only regret is getting her for 7 hours instead of 9.”

“We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day itself, they struck the perfect balance between being calm and reassuring while also keeping everything on schedule and flowing smoothly. They captured every important moment beautifully—from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The images are timeless, natural, and full of genuine emotion, not overly posed or forced! What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful they were—not just to us, but to our families and wedding party as well. Multiple guests commented on how kind and personable they were, yet somehow always in the right place at the right time! We are beyond grateful for these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about capturing your story, we cannot recommend them highly enough (:”

“We cannot say enough good things about Georgette! We had a January wedding with about 50 guests, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our portrait time was tight (our fault), and Georgette helped us game plan ahead of time so we could make the absolute most of it. She rolled effortlessly with last-minute changes to people and the order of photos, and somehow managed to squish in everyone we hoped to include without making it feel rushed or stressful. The photos themselves are stunning. She captured every bit of emotion — the big happy moments, the quiet sentimental ones, and even the teary-eyed exchanges. Looking through our gallery truly feels like reliving the day. Beyond her talent behind the camera, her wedding experience really showed. From knowing how to properly carry a giant dress and veil, to keeping things moving smoothly, she went above and beyond in so many small but meaningful ways. If you’re considering booking Georgette — do it. We are so grateful for her and will treasure these photos forever.”

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I captured my first wedding in 2016 and I was instantly in love with being a wedding photographer!

“Natasha was the first vendor we hired after choosing our venue. She is astonishing. She seamlessly blends into the crowd to take photos that capture the essence of your wedding and always manages to find the perfect picture that will make you cry, laugh, and then cry again. She has a remarkable eye. If you want to get away from stilted formal shots and remember and celebrate the actual day of your wedding, work with Natasha. She makes the entire wedding process a joy, from the initial meeting with her to the date night she set up for you to view your photos. She also does "slice of life" engagement shoots which can be a fun and casual date night that she captures with her incredible camera. Everyone has been blown away by the quality of the pictures. There is a reason that she is a top world wedding photographer. I trust Natasha completely. If you are not interested in classic boring posed photos, you can do no better than to hire Natasha Lamalle immediately. She is a true artist with a camera. You will fall in love over and over again through her photos.”

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

“From the moment we met Cesario, we knew he would be our photographer. He immediately felt like a friend vs. another vendor. He instilled so much confidence in us leading up to our wedding day. He was very clear and efficient with communication. He let us ask for what we wanted while also guiding us toward other fun creative ideas. On the day of our wedding, he and Paul were amazing to work with. Great vibes, controlled time well and captured the true essence of our wedding. Finally, the pictures were STUNNING. My wife and I haven't stopped looking at them. I would 100% recommend Cesario to anyone looking to capture their most treasured memories and hope that we get to work with him again in the future. Thank you!”

She showed up incredibly prepared on our wedding day, which helped us relax and enjoy every moment instead of worrying about the details. Her photography skills are exceptional. She has a real talent for capturing the authentic moments that made our day special, the ones that feel like our own memories.

“First of all, Anji and Pete are AWESOME!!!!! If you are considering a wedding photographer, engagement shoot, or just a lifetime shoot, look no further and book them. This power couple has some serious talent and it's to capture your day/moment in a way no one can. We couldn't thank them enough for our awesome engagement session and because we loved the shoot so much and the pictures even more, we booked them for our wedding as well. They are so easy to work with and truly know what they are doing. It shows in the quality of the images we got. Every little detail is captured and we got sneak peaks the day after our wedding! The best thing is that our entire family and all of our friends loved them. They were so respectful, personable, and friendly and they even remembered most of our family and friend's name and called them by it. Everyone loved our pictures as well. They both work incredibly together and they have an understanding like no other couple in the business. Best of all was that they moved like stealth. The last thing you want is a photographer who is constantly in your face and that you notice walking around taking pictures. We didn't have that feeling at all! In fact, we were quite surprised by some of the pictures they took because we didn't notice they were around us. Working with them is a breeze and they are super responsive to emails, phone calls, text. They are timely, friendly, listen to what you are looking for, and are truly passionate about what they do. Which is also what makes them great! Again, my husband and I absolutely LOVE them! And so do all of our family as well as all of our friends. Give them a shot or should I say, let them give you a shot (pun intended) and meet them. You will be so pleased with their work as well as their personality. I am so excited I have met and found them and look forward to a future shoot with them already :)”

“Lindsay was the absolute best to work with. No one better! We did an engagement and wedding shoot with her. I consider myself to not be the most photogenic person, and find photos taken of me generally look unnatural, staged, or silly. Lindsay found a way to make us both feel comfortable and ourselves and the results were photos we absolutely cherish. She’s obviously seasoned in what she does and helped us figure out how to organize the time for the more formal shots in addition to the candids. She did great scouting of both locations to make sure the shots she took were well framed, interesting, had good lighting, and also reflected us as a couple. I’m a picky architect and appreciated how she knew intuitively how to bring architectural detail and composition into the photos. From the logistics standpoint, Lindsay is so responsive and professional, we never had to fret about anything. She’s the absolute best!”

“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!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Sharon Natoli as our wedding photographer. She is extremely talented and brought her extensive photojournalism experience, professionalism, and positive energy to capture our wedding day. She handled a rainy outdoor ceremony situation with ease, taking the weather as an opportunity for some unique and memorable shots. She also stuck with us after the reception as the sun came out to catch some incredible light soaked moments. Throughout the day, she was amazing with our guests, keeping things moving swiftly so folks didn't get too cold, and helping some of the more camera-shy (including me, the bride) feel at ease. I love that she took the time to meet with us beforehand and get to know us, learn more about our family and guests, understand our style preferences, as well as offer some expert advice on how the day could go. She also walked us through the final photos and gave us some behind the scenes technical insight which was a really nice way to revisit the day. It's clear she is passionate about photography and loves what she does. Her enthusiasm is contagious and we're so glad she was the one to photograph our day.

“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!”

Not only did the photos come out spectacular, he made us so comfortable throughout the process. Anyone seeing his finished product can see that he’s talented. Yet one misses in the photos is the man behind the camera who truly went out of his way to be a solid rock for a day that can be chaotic at times. He really felt like family during our wedding day and so seamlessly fit in with all our friends and family invited. I would, and have, recommended him again and again to other couples getting married. You won’t regret it.”

“Jan was a phenomenal addition to our wedding day. We hired him off a recommendation of a friend of a friend and we are very grateful! He was calming and professional in helping us prep for the day and captured so many memories day of! Our entire family is grateful for all the moments he captured both on digital and film. His documentary style allowed for photos that reflected the fun and love of the day and evening with friends and family. He also turned around the photos very quickly and provided access to download the photos online. Highly recommend!”

“We found Juniett & Julian from word-of-mouth to have a photoshoot to celebrate a milestone and we were just amazed at what they came up with! The entire process was incredibly seamless, from meeting them, coordinating locations (they have some good locations in mind!), to the actual photos we received. They work with you to ensure you're comfortable before, during, and they are communicative with after the photoshoot while performing final edits to the pics! Before Coordinating a time and place was easy, they're very flexible and timely! During They have a great eye in choosing lighting that best captures your features which is apparent when you see the final product. After Received the finalized pictures in a timely manner :) Personalities Gotta say this is the highlight of working with Juniett and Julian! They are very sweet, thoughtful, and a lot of fun to work with. We also had lots of laughs, oh the bloopers! In summary, if you need a photoshoot, these are your people!

Hi, we are Juniett and Julian! We believe that weddings are a place where extraordinary stories occurs.

Our approach is mostly photojournalistic, ensuring each moment, from the quiet glances to the grand celebrations, is preserved in its authentic form. We blend that with a little editorial guidance to make sure you look your best, because this day is all about you—your story and your love.
