Hi, I’m Trina! A fine art style wedding photographer based in Washington D.C. My passion for the art of photography runs deep. My style is influenced by mid-century editorial fashion photography and European Renaissance Art. Rooted in the art of idyllic narration, my work captures your love story through a lens that mixes elegance, sophistication, and modernism with a twinge of romantic nostalgia. At the heart of Verdandi is a love affair with nuance, empathy, and impactful photographic composition. Let’s create a beautiful work of art together!

Trina is both brilliant, authentic, and get creative work truly exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for her as a human and as a photographer, she blew us away. She is so authentic and down-to-earth that we genuinely enjoyed the engagement shoot and our wedding portraits!

Callie Ying Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, NY

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

We couldn’t be happier we that chose Chris to be our wedding photographer. He made us feel so at ease in front of the camera, and he made the process fun (even in the 90 degree July weather). Our photos are stunning- the posed photos aren’t boring or overly posed, and the candid shots make us feel like we’re reliving the day all over again. We ended up behind schedule due to circumstances out of our control, but Chris stayed late just to make sure he fully captured the day. He clearly loves what he does, and he’s one of the best. We can’t recommend him enough for your special day!

I'm originally from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania but I've lived all over the country and have finally landed in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. My personal hobbies include rock climbing, learning French, fine-tuning my espresso skills, and drinking the best wine I can get my hands on (yes, if you're getting married at a winery, I'm interested!). I've been photographing weddings since 2009 (that's 15 years!) and I'm still not even the least bit bored. Hell, I still cry at weddings on a regular basis. Staying emotional and in the moment is what allows me to capture the moments that matter most to my couples.

Rima is hands down the world’s best wedding photographer. Having been in a fair number of weddings and as a guest at countless others, I’ve had many experiences with wedding photographers, and Rima beats them all by a mile. She is very nice and extremely professional, and always knows how to get the perfect shot while seamlessly blending in with your guests. She also got us through the wedding party/family photos quickly and efficiently, which I really appreciated. Her videographer Robert was also fantastic - so kind, courteous, and professional! Rima also shot our engagement photos - she woke up insanely early to get sunrise pictures of us at Central Park, which were absolutely gorgeous. She is extremely flexible and patient, great qualities in a photographer! She also got us our previews of both our wedding and engagement pictures really quickly, which was fantastic, as we were so excited to see them. Rima was the first vendor we chose and we are so happy we were able to book her. If you book Rima, you won’t be disappointed!

Being in the wedding film industry over sixteen years, I'm eager to help couples bring their dreams to life. I have no hesitation traveling for couples who know I'm the perfect fit for their wedding. My work resonates with who it's made for- and I keep that audience in mind.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was referred to Birch Fields by my cousin (who used Birch Fields for her wedding) 2 weeks before my June 2020 Covid wedding. We decided last minute to have the wedding even if it was just going to be immediate family. Because no extended family or friends were allowed at the time we wanted a way to record the day as if they were there. I had posted I was looking for someone to shoot on a VHS camcorder and film the whole wedding start to finish with no breaks just like old family videos we had growing up. Steven not only was up for the challenge, but spent his whole day capturing every detail of our wedding. We got copies of both 4k and VHS which is so special and cool. We were so impressed and absolutely loved Steven that we have since used him for my Sister-In-Laws baby shower and my Father-In-Laws 70s birthday party. Birch Fields is like family now!

We cannot say enough good things about Shelby! She is one of the warmest and kindest people we have ever met. I HATE being photographed, and my husband and I cannot tolerate being the center of attention. Somehow, she made the wedding photo shoot so enjoyable that we were sad to leave. She provided plenty of ideas for where to shoot and how to pose. She took our feedback regarding the look and feel we wanted for our photos, and they look GORGEOUS! Shelby possesses a remarkable ability to make you feel at ease, and she loves what she does, which is evident in her pictures. Again, it is impossible to say enough good things! I promise you, you will not regret working with Shelby.

Cathy founded Cathy's Elegant Events in 2010. Although she was born in NYC, her family moved to the Catskill Mountains at a young age, but they maintained a home in Brooklyn. This allowed her to have a unique upbringing in both Upstate New York and Brooklyn, where many of her relatives still reside. Cathy holds a degree in Mathematics and Statistics.

It was so fun getting to spend time with her and getting to know her during this process. Cathy made every little detail of our fairytale wedding come true. She was terrific during the planning process. When I wanted to try to handle projects myself, she stepped back and let me handle them, but was always there if I needed advice or help with anything. When I needed her to be more involved and hands on, I felt completely confident and comfortable letting her take things in the direction that she felt was best. She was always quick to answer emails and talk on the phone to hash out big picture items or last minute details. The week leading up to the wedding Cathy was AMAZING. We spent almost 2 hours on the phone making sure every last detail was taken care of and exactly the way I envisioned it. She ran our ceremony in the pouring rain and was always cheerful and positive, she was there for me for moral support all afternoon while I was getting ready, she helped setup the barn and ceremony beautifully and made sure every detail was in order. During the ceremony and reception, she made sure that my husband and I were taken care of the entire evening. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and Cathy's expertise, guidance and help played such a huge part in the success of our wedding day. Thank you Cathy!! Tim and I are so grateful for all the hardwork and love you put into making our day great.

My hair doesn’t hold a curl well even though it’s curly, and my hair stayed curled and perfectly styled from early morning to midnight!! Most of it was also stilled curled the next morning too. It rained during my wedding and we took photos outside, and my hair beat the humidity and rain! I was shocked since it never does that when I style my own hair. Couldn’t have nicer things to say!!

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, NY

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working in TV and Professional Sports all over the world but Ive always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.

Luckily, our planner who is also a photographer, recommended Judson to us. We are so grateful to have Judson be a part of our marriage celebration. The pre-planning was very thorough and thoughtful, and she made sure she got all of the information she needed in ahead of time. She came well prepared, was able to wrangle our families who met for the very first time that evening, and made us feel very comfortable and at ease during out portrait session. Judson captured the essence of our celebration, made us and our friends and family look super cute, and documented all the beautiful moments that happened throughout the night.

Hey there, I’m Shukhrat, a proud husband, a father and an artist. My love for photography started about fifteen years ago with photojournalism. Today, I continue to utilize my skills in capturing beautiful wedding and portrait moments that evoke the same emotions as the real moment. My photography style is diverse and has been refined over the years to showcase my creative vision. I am all about creating stunning, timeless artwork that truly captures the essence of a moment in true to life colors.

Shukhrat Kamalov was a standout HIT. Our guests felt like absolute celebs! We didn't want the standard photobooth as it can come off a little too cheesy for my tastes. And since we were asking all of our guests to come dressed in their best, we decided it was only appropriate they also get their own designated photographer. Shukhrat took his time with each of our guest's photo sessions, directing them and taking multiple shots until our guests loved what he captured. AND he printed them out so our guests had something to bring home. All of our guests told us that these photos would be framed in their home . THEY WERE THAT GOOD.

I'll be your personal cheerleader and the third wheel you never knew you needed! You can bet I'll be saying "PERFECT" more times than you can count. And honestly, I might even add an extra dramatic gasp or two. Get ready for a fun, stress free experience filled with laughs, high fives, and lots of "PERFECT" moments that will have you smiling for years to come.

My name’s Danté! A NY photographer/videographer. For the past 2 years I’ve worked with Strain on multiple occasions as her second shooter, and I’ll tell you, it’s been a blast! At first I was nervous to work along another shooter other then my friend. Her and I did not know each other and she’s been at this business far longer then I have so it was definitely intimidating at first. But after the first hour shooting under her I knew it was a good fit to work with her as her second. Throughout the weddings we’ve work, a great friendship has been formed and I’ve learned a lot from her as a photographer and how to better my business in the wedding industry. Her quality of work and experience make her stand out among the rest! If you need a photographer for your special day she is the best to work with! Very understanding, helpful, fun, and amazing!
