Timeless Photo Video provided excellent service for our wedding day photography and videography. Jamie and Matt were prompt, attentive, and captured all the special moments with an intimate, detailed style that we loved.

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!

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!

  • Classic style

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!

I'm a Virginia based wedding photographer with a love for capturing your day in a way that feels most authentic to YOU. My experience with having my own COVID wedding has led me to appreciate all kinds of weddings, big and small. ◡̈ Virginia born and raised, I met my husband in middle school and we chose to be by each others' sides forever back in 2020! We are building a family and a life we love in Hampton, VA, but are always ready to go. He's my right hand man and will probably tag along every so often!

Hope was my son's wedding photographer and she did portraits for my family. I was blown away by how beautiful they all turned out. But what I really loved was how thoughtful she was during both. She made sure that her and her wonderful husband/assistant were everywhere all at once...lol. Capturing ever special moment with lots of detail. She isn't just a talented photographer she has an understanding of what moments NEED to be captured that you may never know aboutuntil she send you the gallery!

  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

We're Jim & Dakotah - a Virginia Beach-based husband and wife photographer/videographer duo serving the entire US East Coast. We specialize in delivering elevated-edgy imagery to wedding couples that seek something a little more dramatic and polished.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even begin? Choosing Dakotah as our photographer was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From our very first engagement shoot in the spring, she absolutely wowed us. She made us look and feel incredible — we’ve never felt more gorgeous or more like ourselves. We still look at those photos every single day and can’t get over how stunning they are. When the wedding day came (complete with rain and all!), Dakotah, Jim, and Anderson rolled with every twist and turn with total grace and humor. They made the entire day feel effortless. Dakotah and Jim are warm, funny, and make everyone around them feel comfortable and confident — including all of our guests. Anderson was amazing as the second photographer, helping capture every detail and moment we might have missed. The way this team works together is seamless. Dakotah’s direction and creativity are unmatched, and Jim’s presence behind the camera adds so much calm and fun to the day. We could truly feel how much they care about their couples — they listen, they adapt, and they help with absolutely everything. What started as a vendor relationship has truly turned into a friendship. I’ve never been more excited to get photos or messages from someone because I know whatever Dakotah and Jim create is going to be magic. Every single time, they blow us away. If you’re debating whether to book them, don’t wait another second — invest in them. You will not regret it. They are simply the best, and we cannot recommend them enough.

As both a bride and a former wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Kaytlyn enough! From the very beginning, she was a dream to work with — professional, responsive, and so easygoing. We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor.

Luxury wedding photographer for the modern couple with classic style. Based in Virginia, traveling worldwide. I have only ten photographs from my wedding day—ten carefully chosen frames that captured the expected moments. I cherish them. But as the years have passed, it’s not those images I reach for first- it’s the moments that weren’t documented. The unscripted moments- those are the ones that shaped the heart of our story. That perspective is at the core of how I photograph weddings today. I approach each celebration with an eye for both refinement and truth- capturing the depth of what is felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Joy Mills Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, Joy was genuinely kind and patient with all of my questions—this was my first time working with a professional photographer and she made the whole process feel less daunting. On the day of the wedding, Joy stayed organized and was able pivot seamlessly, which was a huge help since I was stressed and running behind. She had a calm presence that really put me at ease, and her candid photo style captured all the real moments that made our day special. We couldn't be happier with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. We look forward to the wedding photos and hope to work with her again!

During the planning process, I mostly spoke with Jessica. She was very friendly and flexible with the initial meeting phone call, and I felt very comfortable talking to her. She made the contract very easy to understand and worked with me to pick the best package that would suit our wedding needs. She was helpful with answering any little questions I had along the way in the lead up to the wedding. Peter was photographer for the day of the wedding and I’ve never met anyone so friendly and comfortable to be around right away! I loved working with him and he was able to be very efficient while still getting amazing quality photos. I wanted to eat and rest after the ceremony, so I really really appreciated the efficiency! I know that he would also be great for people who want to take their time with their photo sessions, because he listened to any suggestions I made and would take his time when needed. He took a bunch of great shots during the reception, showing how much fun all of our friends had on the dance floor! If you’re looking for professional, friendly, down-to-Earth photographers, go with Jessica and Peter Cenzalli!!

Our wedding included three different locations - a ceremony in the mountains, a reception indoors in a restaurant, and an after party downtown, as well as getting ready at a parent’s. Kathleen went out of her way to go to each location, and shot incredible photos, even though each location required different settings and expertise. She was fantastic at directing and wrangling family members and friends, and provided advice on the best location for photos. She is a wonderful person, and got along with everyone so well, going out of her way to provide mints and tissues. Kathleen knows when it’s important to take charge and when to step back, and she also let us flag her down for specific photos with friends and family members. Prior to the wedding, she was also incredibly professional, with a helpful website, structured planning meetings, and thorough contract. Most importantly, we got our sneak peak photos the next day, and they are STUNNING - she captured so many details, intimate moments, and thoughtful shots. Her process is clearly intentional, and the outcome has made us misty eyed! DO NOT HESITATE to hire this incredible woman!!!

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

I was so excited to finally work with Elizabeth! We go way back our pictures turned out so incredible. We can’t stop obsessing over them! Elizabeth is very thorough during the meetings to make sure every shot you want is accounted for and everything stays on schedule! I look forward to working with her for a boudoir and/or maternity session!

Hey, I’m Bry! ✨ A slightly introverted, highly goofy, and professionally sarcastic wedding photographer. I specialize in light & airy imagery filled with real laughs, genuine moments, and all the beautifully unscripted magic. While I may be quiet at first, give me five minutes and I’ll be cracking jokes, hyping you up, and fixing your dress like we’ve been friends for years.

I’ve known Bry for years and she never fails to amaze me with her talent. I got photos done by her and absolutely love them. She knows how to pose you, makes you feel comfortable, and maintains a professional attitude. If you want great pictures at a great price I would highly recommend working with Bry!

Holly V Rice Photography

Holly V Rice Photography is an engagement and wedding photography business based out of both Hampton Roads and Richmond, VA! I describe my style as warm, classic, and joyful. I love celebrating LOVE in all of its forms! Nothing makes me happier than getting to know a couple and getting to capture their special moments.

Holly was so great to work with! She did a great job throughout the day and the lead up! Highly recommend booking her for extra events leading up to the wedding! Engagement photos were included in the package we purchased from her, but we also booked her to take photos at our engagement party and rehearsal dinner. My husband is not a huge photo person, so having those extra opportunities to meet with Holly and get everyone more comfortable together really led to some great photos! She is bright and bubbly and helped keep everything running smoothly. We also had some trouble getting our bouquets put together and she jumped right in and helped us make sure they were looking perfect for the walk down the aisle (and the photos!). Holly captured everything perfectly - from the serious "formal" photos, to the funny moments and the dance party at the end. She captured everything so perfectly! Holly was absolutely the right choice when it came to capturing some of our most important moments 3

Awarded Best of Zola
So what VWC does is they pair you with a photographer that they think will fit you and your style the best and let me just say, they knocked it out of the park. Ashley and (both!) Brianna’s were amazing, they made our day so fun and special! Their attitude and outgoing personalities were so fun to have on our day, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the amount of pictures we were taking! All my family and guests were raving about how much fun they were and how at ease they made everyone feel, and just how much they could tell they loved being a part of our day! As for the owners, Ashley & Luke, they very clearly love what they do and respect their customers. We had a bit of a snaffu early in our wedding planning process and they took care of it in such a professional and apologetic manner that my husband and I felt comfortable that we still would have them capture our wedding day. Honestly, their entire team was wonderful to work with and our sneak peeks are just absolutely amazing and iI truly cannot wait to see the rest of our album!
