Your wedding day is a whirlwind of family and friends, vows and true love, good food and of course lots of cake! With a wedding photographer, all the beautiful moments can be captured and remembered forever. Pop of Molly Photography focuses on candid photography encapsulating the bride and groom and wedding guests enjoying the moment and being their own beautiful selves. Focusing on candid photography doesn't mean I won't take the time to sit down with you and go over the "must have" shots, list of family members and wedding party, and ensure I have photos of all your Pinterest board "dream wedding" photos.

Molly was the best photographer we could have asked for. She was a calming and friendly presence as soon as she arrived. My husband and I did not have a super thorough plan and Molly had no problem just doing her thing. And her "thing" is being an incredible photographer. We loved the candid photos she captured of not only us but our loved ones. She is incredibly easy to work with and made our wedding experience so wonderful. I know that the pictures Molly took will be cherished for the rest of our lives and in the lives of those who love us. Molly also made the preparation process incredibly easy. She has a great understanding of how hard wedding planning can be and how expensive. The results of her work are completely worth the (very reasonable) price.

Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

Awarded Best of Zola
When Annie and I booked him, we had full intentions to have him do our wedding. We put down the deposit, and then things went sideways financially. We unfortunately had to go back to him and cancel. My fiancé was devastated, so I reached out to him, and asked if he could do a quick hour shoot, like an engagement session. He was very quick to reply, and get us on the schedule. He was so kind and understanding, I truly wish we could have him for our wedding, but I am grateful he was willing to work with us. I know my wife-to-be and I are going to cherish those pictures forever.

Stephanie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and on top of it. She and her second photographer struck the perfect balance of being professional and efficient while also feeling like casual friends, which made the entire experience feel natural and fun. My husband and I felt totally comfortable with her guidance and direction during photos, and she made the whole process so easy, even with unpredictable weather and changing light. She adapted quickly and found the perfect locations around our venue to make sure we got the best possible shots. We were so excited to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning. The quality was flawless and just captured the beauty of our day. She also did our engagement session, and those remain some of our favorite photos ever (other than the wedding, of course). If you’re getting married in Virginia, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins and her team enough. She captured our day perfectly, and we’re so grateful to have these memories to look back on forever.

Being behind the camera isn’t just about clicking a button and editing a photo and delivering it. It’s about making sure you capture each and every detail even if the couple doesn’t realize it. I’ve become passionate in what I do because I love the smiles that it puts on people’s faces and the happy tears that stream down their face when I deliver the most beautiful album that they get to hold on to for the rest of their lives. True love is real. Capturing my couples is like bringing a romance novel to life.

Marylyn, owner of Momentous Memories, has been my go-to girl for YEARS!! She never disappoints!! She knows just how to capture the most amazing moments and love between two people. Her photography is stunning and she creates such a fun environment to be in! My husband does not like having his picture taken, but she knew exactly how to get him to open up and pose for pictures. She was great at communicating throughout the pre-wedding process and ensuring that she knew how our day was going to go. Even though on our day it poured down rain, Marylyn worked her magic and created an album of the most breathtaking photos. I will always highly recommend her to anyone I know!

I’m Hadley Chittum (she/they), a documentary photographer based in Richmond, Virginia working for publications like the Guardian, New York Times, Teen Vogue, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and more. I started Lover Pics out of a desire to photograph more intimate stories and to document human connection. Because of my photojournalism background, I prefer to photograph weddings by sitting back and letting the action unfold. My process and style will work best for a couple that wants to be present in the moment and not have too many forced, posed photo-ops. But trust I'll always be there with guidance when needed.

Hadley was a wonderful photographer for our special day!! Both posed and candid photos came out beautifully and we love them dearly. Hadley is also a wonderful communicator and a great person to be around! We will definitely ask her to photograph future events.

When looking through your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years, you want each photo to spark a dozen timeless memories – like the chill of the autumn air, the way your dress swung to and fro, how your grandma couldn’t stop smiling the whole night, the taste of your new spouse’s lips, and countless more. You’re looking for true and honest evidence that brings you back and steadies you in these fleeting moments. You want to freeze your day just how it is and cherish it forever. Hey, I'm Jess! You're in the right place.

From the moment we first spoke, Jessica was so inviting, thoughtful, and professional. She was always timely in her communication and provided valuable insight on how to enhance the wedding experience and perspective through photography. When we first met at the engagement shoot and all the way through the wedding day, Jessica made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and genuinely seemed excited to be a part of our special day(s). The variety of beautiful photos captured our relationship as a whole and every unforgettable moment. Jessica laughed along with our families and friends, worked seamlessly with our planner and venue coordinator, and was just a joy to be around. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful collection of memories thanks to Jessica.

As time passes I want you to look back through all your photographs and have all of those memories come pouring back into your mind. The moments of love, celebration, joy, the stuff you never want to forget. I'm here to help you cherish your once-in-a-lifetime love story, and celebrate your greatest achievements, and adventures! I want to celebrate it all with you!

We booked Colleen to do a wedding redo shoot 2 years after a hurricane swept through our wedding day. Due to a few different issues with our original photographer, we decided to change gears after Colleen was recommended to us by a good friend. Off the bat, Colleen was super flexible to schedule with and seemed so excited about our vision! During our shoot, Colleen made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Something I appreciated so much was that she made sure to place emphasis on the things she knew would matter to me- for instance, she asked me if I have a “good side”, fixed my hair and necklace between takes, made sure my dress was lying appropriately, and gave flawless posing direction. Initially I was nervous that Colleen would think my wishes to be unachievable; however, she delivered everything I wanted- and then some! Colleen gave us more photos in a (less than) 2hr shoot than our wedding photographer gave us in a 12hr day. Her photos captured my exact vision- artistic, romantic, seductive, modern- all tied in a beautiful Christmas bow! Something else worth mentioning- Colleen left our shoot and *immediately* began working on edits. We were sent multiple sneak peaks DAY OF, and dozens more the following day! Entire album was completed with hundreds of shots by 10 days out. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience with Colleen and these photos that we can cherish for years. Thank you Colleen!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

My greatest joy as a photographer is making sure you can relive your wedding or elopement day exactly as it felt - every laugh, every tear, every piece of love, and all the little in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours. I focus on capturing your day naturally, with documentary taking center stage and just a few gentle prompts for the portraits you’ll treasure forever. My goal is for you to feel completely present—celebrating with your people, soaking in the love, and enjoying every second—while I quietly capture it all.

Claudia has taken pictures of not only me but also me with my friends and they have turned out perfect. It’s the perfect vibe and she made the photoshoot so fun!
