We just had our wedding this past weekend and are so glad we hired Addie to take our pictures! She is the absolute sweetest person you’ll ever meet and her photos are stunning! From the beginning, Addie had amazing communication and made a schedule for the photography easily that fit our needs. She made sure to capture every family photo and other wanted photo I wrote down. She was always hyping us up and making us laugh! She sent us 11 sneak peak photos less than 24 hours after our wedding too!! We had the best time with Addie and would recommend her to everyone!

As your wedding photographer, I take on more of a documentary approach and prefer to shoot with little interruption throughout your big day. Sure there will be times where posing is necessary, but for the most part, I know just how much planning and work and detail has gone into this celebration of the start of your marriage. I will be there for you to document the connection with you and your person with your genuine, honest emotions as the focus.

Sara was so amazing and exactly what we were looking for for our wedding! I would recommend her to anyone- she came to a new venue but worked it with ease and the pictures came out incredible.

I would be honored to make those memories yours.

Ben Lausch Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Painter, VA

What excites me most as a photographer is finding ways to uniquely capture your story. My goal is to bring out the aspects of you that resonate most-- whether you find that in fun & laughter, or in quiet & stillness. I see myself more as a director than a photographer, always opting for prompts over poses. Through this, I find myself capturing stills that emanate movement and life-- the kind of thing you see in the movies.

Ben was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! From start to finish, he made our experience so wonderful and stress-free. During our first phone call, I knew he would be a great fit because of his professionalism and attention-to-detail. As a bride, I wanted a wedding photographer who would make my husband and I feel relaxed and capture the best moments of our big day. Ben did just that. He captured the beauty, fun, and high energy of our wedding in such a beautiful and unique way. We were so thankful and our wedding photos completely took our breath away! We will treasure them forever and will absolutely hire him again for future milestones.

Hi, Im Dana, a photography studio owner and wedding photographer for 15 years in Berlin, MD. I love working with couples and capturing their special days as they happen. I am told often I have a calming presence and it's true, I do work well under pressure. My style blends documentary photography with expert posing when needed and I especially love working with couples who may feel awkward having their photos taken as I aim to make it a fun and enjoyable experience. I aim for timeless, emotionally rich true to color images for weddings I photograph.

I have worked with Dana both professionally and personally. She is very calm , knows how to read the vibe and keep everyone on track. She has the unique capability of capturing things other don't see and that make amazing picture. I highly recommend her for weddings, head shots, beach photos, new borns , and boudoir.

Mid-atlantic + Eastern Shore documentary style wedding and elopement photographer. Here for the rock-n-rollers, the-down-to-earth, the bring-the-funk-crew, the stay-at-home-with-my-cat kinda people. Hey, I like dog-people too. Whatever your rhythm, we're here for a good time. I gravitate towards weddings with an intimate feel and celebrations that represent each couple to their core. I love a celebration that breaks the status quo of typical wedding traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for someone to capture your memories in a seriously beautiful way, Christine Tustin is 100% your gal. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and after seeing Christine’s work we had no question we’d ask her to be our photographer. From discussing a contract to receiving our photos, she made the process simple, clear, and stress free, which means eeeverything when planning a wedding! Also, as a bride who had a wedding during COVID-19, I also had anxiety about making sure all our guests felt safe and comfortable. Christine was super flexible, organized, and made sure photos were timely but also thorough, minimizing any stress I had. Christine is not only an artist but she makes you feel like a BOSS. She has a unique way with people, bringing out the best in them through her sense of humor and badass-ness. She’s captured our personalities and relationship PERFECTLY and we feel super blessed to have these memories. Can’t wait to hang them on our photo wall. I could keep on writing/raving FOREVER about her, but will leave it at this. Look no further for an incredible photographer.

I’m Josephine, or Jo for short. I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was about 7 years old. When it came time to choose a college major my dad gave me some great advice: “choose something you love.” So, I chose to study photography and have been living my passion ever since! Capturing authentic, timeless images is my goal. I want you to feel comfortable to be yourself during photoshoots and have your photos reflect your unique personality.

Working with Jo last August was absolutely great! As a coordinator, having someone on the vendor team who is flexible and calm is super important. She handled the rowdy guests with a calm and patient demeanor, was a team-player as things changed, and open to suggestions and questions from me. And the photos are fantastic, of course!

Hi! My name is Leigh (pronounced Lee). I'm a nurse-turned-photographer who loves to see new places, chase around my toddler and sip a crisp diet dr. pepper. Most importantly I am someone who cares immensely about the experience my couples have with me from the second they get in touch.

Leigh not only delivered the most perfect, dreamy photos of our wedding day, but she was also an absolute joy to work with every step of the way. From planning to communication to the big day, everything felt so easy. She honestly felt like a friend who just happened to be snapping photos all day, she fit in so naturally and brought the best energy. Even three months later, she still checks in and gets just as excited about our photos and our day as if it just happened. If I could recommend Leigh a million times, I would without hesitation. Anyone would be beyond lucky to have her by their side on such a special day

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.

She assisted us with our portraits and helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we're so glad we found her. I would give Sarah a 10/10 and highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding.

Hey there, I’m Holly! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Roanoke, VA, and I’m all about capturing love stories in the most authentic and heartfelt way possible. My photography style is raw, emotional, timeless, and fun. Whether I’m photographing a tender moment between a couple or the spontaneous laughter during a celebration, I strive to capture the genuine connection and joy shared on your big day. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than freezing those fleeting moments so you can relive them for years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture your day as it unfolds, I’d love to chat!!

I originally chose Holly for my photographer because we had a very specific theme for our wedding (Destiny the video game). It must have also been Destiny that she played the game and was familiar with the theme. Also, she was amazingly flexible and willing to work with our budget. Her correspondence with me was always quick and prompt. Even when it came to getting my professional pictures and sneak peaks all back, I was told it would be up to 2 months for return, but she had them back in only a week or two's time. Unfortunately, (as these things sometimes happen) Holly was not able to actually come do our photos due to getting extremely sick (which no one can help), so we had to have a stand in photographer named Justin. I know we (including herself) were all bummed she could not be there considering we were all excited and familiar with the theme. Despite not having Holly, Justin was still very nice to work with and did an amazing job. I did notice that the best pictures (of course) were the ones he had time to actually position and pose us for. I think my biggest regret was I wish I had had more time and funds to pay for more time for him to pose us and take these more less candid photos. I was sad to find that we missed out on getting individual photos of my daughters and all four of them on their own. Also there were no photos of my husband with his second oldest daughter which really upset her... But again, I don't blame the photographer for this. It really was chalked up to a lack of time. Also, one of my daughters changed into more comfortable clothes during dinner so that took away from us being able to get the nice pictures I had wanted. So I can't emphasize enough that I don't blame the photographers for this at all... It was just one of my biggest regrets on my part of the night. I again, wish I had built more time and been able to contribute more money to more pictures that could be done in this manner. I definitely recommend this team. They are so nice and do their best to check off all of the boxes that you want. They work with you and are quick and efficient with what they do.
