Harvest Moon Photography

Portsmouth, VA
  • Photographer

  • Starts at $2,000

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an introvert and more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

Awarded Best of Zola
Harvest Moon Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Camille was fast to respond, accommodating to our needs, and always maintained a positive and excited energy. Her communication style was just what we were looking for - she made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. The quality of her work is truly flawless, with a beautiful, candid, and dreamy aesthetic that captured all the little moments we wanted to remember. Camille made sure I got everything I wanted and more out of my photos. The photo I cherish most to this day isn’t even of my husband and I. My grandfather recently passed away and the photo I cherish most is of him and my littlest sister, dancing together alone on the dance floor. It is a photo I hold dear to me and will cherish always. Camille is an incredibly talented and accommodating photographer, and we are so grateful to have had her be a part of our special day. We have already decided she is the only photographer we want to work with going forward to capture all of the special moments in our lives.

My excited, caring and spunky with a side of ‘hell yeah’ personality makes people feel comfortable, protected and loved. I meet people, hug them within seconds and it’s not awkward. Also, catch me slingin' jokes and dancing while I work or just on a Tuesday. I started my business three years ago, since then I've captured 102 weddings and over 200 couples, I can't image doing anything else! I’m married to Alex, love of my life, cat-doggy daddy, and muse. We fell in love after I called him a loser the moment we met. Since then we've lived in Hawaii, traveled the world and added two fur babies!

The ladies at this company are simply amazing!! My now husband I are not photogenic people and are typically not comfortable being in front of the camera, but Danielle and Ashley made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun doing it! We have many branches to our family and the photos ran seamlessly and were quicker than I expected! I am obsessed with the preview photos we have gotten so far and can’t wait to see the full album!

Portsmouth, VA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

It doesn’t get any better than Signature DJs. We booked Signature DJs for ceremony/reception music, Photo Booth, and uplighting. Brandon and Kellie were more than helpful during the wedding planning process. Signature DJs periodically sent me emails to remind me of anticipated steps to keep me on track. I had already booked my Day-Of Coordinators, but had I not I definitely would have booked Kellie! On the day of our wedding, Signature DJs arrived early and easily set up.

I am obsessed with Tiffany! She photographed our destination elopement and easily was one of the highlights of our day. She was flexible, knowledgeable, and helped us plan out how we wanted our special day to go. When our initial plans were rained out, she was quick to assist with problem solving and just be down for the adventure which made the whole process stress-free. My husband and I have never been the types to be comfortable in front of the camera, but she made the session fun and the product is some truly stunning photographs. Since our elopement, Tiffany has become our go-to photographer. She has done couples, maternity, and family portraits for various loved ones and is always a pleasure to work with. She’s great at working with everyone from the oldest to the youngest of our family, the most stoic to the most rambunctious. She’s amazing at digging out those authentic smiles and making you feel at ease. She’s professional, creative, and just a genuinely kind human. I recommend her to everyone.

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently got married at Gala 417, and the entire experience was fantastic! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning everything was. Working with the Gala 417 team, especially Sarah and Lyndsey, made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive and attentive, always quick to answer questions and ensure that our wedding day vision came to life in a way that felt uniquely ours. Lyndsey, our day-of coordinator, was amazing! She handled everything flawlessly throughout the morning and early afternoon, and we truly appreciated how well-organized and professional she was. Even though there were a couple of small bumps after her departure, such as the DJ needing a reminder for speeches, and a few of our selected beer options running out earlier than expected, the staff still managed to keep everything running smoothly. To future brides, I would recommend clearly emphasizing any specific beverage preferences during your catering and blueprint meetings if you or your guests have favorites to avoid any disappointments. We were especially excited about the food after trying it at our catering meeting—it was delicious, and we even bragged to our guests about it! However, on the day of the wedding, the food served was bland and inconsistently prepared. We had requested steaks to be cooked medium, but after the fact, many of our guests shared that their filets ranged from rare to well-done, with some even mentioning gristle or fat in the cut—which shouldn’t happen with a filet. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering how much we were looking forward to the meal. Overall, Gala 417 went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this venue to future couples—between the gorgeous space and the dedication of the staff, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful to the entire Gala 417 team for making our day so special!

Like most folks we spent some time researching who we wanted to help us “make it official” on our big day. We could not have been any happier with our choice to have Evan be our Officiant. Evan was terrific to work with. He was professional and very personable. Evan took the time to get to know us as a couple, and our back story and put together a wonderful ceremony that was meaningful for us. Leading up to the day we had a few “curve balls” thrown at us with regards to location and timing and Evan was understanding and flexible. After the ceremony a number of our guests commented on how they thought the ceremony was right on point. Thanks Evan for helping us “make it official”!!

Introducing J.J.Ash Events And Designs, your premier partner in crafting unforgettable wedding experiences throughout D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Led by the seasoned master planner, Ashanti Neal, our team is dedicated to translating your individual style into a celebration that reflects your essence. At J.J.Ash Events And Designs, we thrive on building genuine connections with our clients, taking the time to understand your vision and aspirations intimately. Ashanti and her team are passionate about guiding couples through every step of the planning journey, infusing each detail with creativity and precision.

Working with J.J. Ash Events and Designs for a Jacksonville wedding was an absolute dream. I was the cake artist, and Ashanti handled the florals. When the bride shared her vision, I immediately thought of Ashanti because I’ve worked with her before and absolutely love her work. She’s one of the rare designers who can balance creativity with realism while delivering flawless execution. For this wedding, we had to transform an inspiration photo into a glam-style red wedding design, and Ashanti absolutely delivered. The bride wanted florals showcased inside acrylic tiers for the cake—a unique and challenging concept. These acrylic tiers had to be sourced from London, measured precisely, customized with Ashanti’s florals, and transported from Virginia to Florida and survive 3-4 days. Not only did the floral design make the journey, but it also held up beautifully throughout the wedding. The result? Stunning florals that tied the cake seamlessly into the overall wedding design. The bride was overjoyed, the guests were amazed, and I was blown away. Together, we created a once-in-a-lifetime piece for a deserving couple and seeing the bride’s ecstatic reaction made all the effort worth it. Ashanti’s talent speaks for itself, but what truly sets her apart is her professionalism. She’s communicative, detail-oriented, and incredibly down-to-earth. She knew exactly how to bring the vision to life and worked closely with me to ensure every detail was perfect. Honestly, I couldn’t have pulled this off without her expertise. Good on J.J. Ash for requesting reviews from vendors and guests—it’s a smart move that highlights the joy they create for couples. I’ve seen Ashanti and her team work tirelessly through weddings, sometimes staying until the very end (I’m usually there past the cake cutting, haha!). By the time the dust settles, the couple is married, their photos are stunning, and their videos capture every magical moment. Reflecting on those moments reminds me how much of a privilege it is to be part of such special events. As a vendor, I appreciated how communicative and organized Ashanti was throughout the process. She asked all the right questions, provided clear instructions, and made herself available if I needed clarification. Unfortunately, not everyone in this industry is that dependable. I’ve seen vendors drop the ball, fail to respond, or avoid accountability—but not J.J. Ash. Ashanti and her team were on top of every detail and worked to have all vendors comply and work together seamlessly. Their dedication and professionalism made this collaboration a joy, and the end result was nothing short of magical. Their results don’t lie—J.J. Ash Events and Designs truly delivers excellence. Hats off to Ashanti and her team for creating unforgettable moments for their clients. I can’t wait to work with them again! — @ButtercreamPlease • Modern wedding and celebration cakes

I was going for a soft glam, glowy look that was natural looking and MaryLy hit the nail on the head. Thank you so much!!

They arrive on time and prepared with all their materials and stuck to their schedule.

My name is Naytza Pato, I'm from Puerto Rico, bilingual and living in Virginia for 12 years. I am passionate about decoration,coordination and planning because I believe they have the power to transform spaces and create meaningful experiences. It all started when 5 years ago I became the event coordinator of my church. We've been in official business for two years now and I LOVE what we do. Ultimately, what fuels my passion for decoration and planning is the ability to bring beauty and meaning into people's lives. It's the joy on someone's face when they walk into a space I've decorated and feel a sense of wonder or nostalgia.

Naytza was amazing to work with - she made us feel reassured that everything would go smoothly, kept us informed every step of the way, and even came a day early to be at our rehearsal. Her great communication and ability to keep us on schedule made the whole experience stress-free. We would highly recommend working with The Bliss & Co LLC for any couple looking for an amazing wedding planning experience.

My business started when I realized a passion for photographing the beauty of a adventurous life! As life has continued I married the love of my life and now along with Adventures Photography have found a passion for photographing the union of couples.
