Ryan Clark Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Photography has always interested me as the medium in which to freely express the emotions in my mind. Being interested in photography at an early age I got my first camera, a Polaroid Land Camera. Though mostly a self-taught photographer, I was always a student of taking photos and print manipulation. While practicing photography at the Visual Arts Center in Portsmouth, VA, I learned how to develop and print photos in a darkroom. This led me to converting one of the rooms in my house into a functioning darkroom, and for many years I developed negatives and made prints for clients and art shows.

Words cannot explain how happy I am with my wedding pics. Ryan 100% exceeded my expectations, he was not only professional, but extremely laid back and very very easygoing. We truly are so grateful for your time and dedication to us. Our wedding wasn’t very traditional, more of a big family party with a wedding thrown in, and our pictures captured every single moment, and we are forever grateful. We consider Ryan our friend now, not just our photographer. Our family is still talking about how much fun it was. Thank you again for everything, and I hope to work with you again!

Harvest Moon Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
Portsmouth, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • 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.

DeLine Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Portsmouth, VA
  • Photojournalistic style

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!

Booking Cat and her team as our wedding photographers was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made by far. I chose Cat because I loved her photography and editing style, but as we began to work with her, we also loved how organized, fun to be around, and instrumental in planning our wedding she was. Cat helped us build our timeline and even took it upon herself to reach out to our venue, hair, and makeup vendors to build our wedding day photography timeline. My husband and I feel so lucky that we were able to experience working with Cat, Danielle, and Ashley, so we definitely know how amazing and awesome the whole team is. Our engagement shoot with Cat was so much fun and she made us feel so comfortable in front of her camera. For our wedding, we were so lucky to have Danielle as our lead photographer and Ashley there assisting. Danielle and Ashley are so much fun, were a joy to be around, made everyone laugh, and made us all feel so comfortable. The two of them are seriously a dynamic duo! At the reception, every time I looked up, Danielle was right in my eyeline seeing if my husband or I needed anything. She definitely never missed a moment, and was always there somewhere capturing everything. What I love about their photography is how much it looks like us. We have so many photos of my husband and I just laughing together, being ourselves, and enjoying the day with our people. You can truly feel the happiness through the photos and that’s something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We literally ordered a digital picture frame because how are we supposed to choose only a few photos from our day to have in our home?? It was truly such a joy to work with Cat, Danielle, and Ashley. They remain one of the best choices we made for our wedding and I’ll be forever grateful for them.

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart.

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.

Lauren Ashlie Imagery provided amazing photography for our wedding day. Her communication was efficient, clear, and prompt throughout the entire process making it so easy to work with her. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are so natural and detailed, capturing all the special moments beautifully.

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!

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.

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!

Portrait photography is my absolute favorite medium. Just the thought that I am making a person happy by giving them the service of memories that will last a lifetime makes me feel so good about what I do.

Samantha Lynn Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first met Samantha to do our bridal portraits and wedding photos, we knew she was the perfect photographer for us. Her communication was always clear and trustworthy, and she was so kind and accommodating throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly amazing - the photos she captured of our special day are breathtaking and she delivered them to us so quickly. We've continued to use Samantha for all of our big milestone photos over the past 5 years and she has never disappointed. We can't recommend Samantha Lynn Photography highly enough - 10/10!

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 is very professional, creative, fun, & trustworthy! We booked her for our November 2021 wedding and are super excited. She did our engagement shoot in March 2021 and they came out great! It was fun, flirty and the final touches on the pictures were wonderful.

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!
