We are currently located in Richmond, VA and will happily travel to anywhere you may be

Awarded Best of Zola
Our first experience with Allyse & Nick were at my sister's wedding. My husband and I knew at the time, they were our go-to when it came time for our wedding. Allyse and Nick made my notoriously unphotogenic husband loosen up and enjoy the process - he actually said he liked how he looked in the pictures for once! I don't think I have ever seen a picture of myself and felt beautiful, but her pictures truly do. I cant stop looking at them. I don't think I would have ever been able to capture the love that my husband & I have for each other on film without them. I can truly relive the fun and energy with all 1500 pictures I now have from that day! From our engagement photos to our big day they were amazing! They were willing to travel 3hours to come with us on this ride & even ran into a corn field to get the shot! They are going to be our family photographers, we're just waiting for the next sister to get moving!

Working with her was a pleasure, she is communicative, and made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. Not to mention she was such a lovely presence at our wedding, our family still talks glowingly about her two months later.

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.

Hello! My name is Chayil (pronounced just like Kyle), and I am a photographer and creative storyteller with a focus on weddings, elopements, and lifestyle portraits. Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chayil moves through a wedding like an artist painting a masterpiece—effortlessly, passionately, and with an eye for the details that most of us would never think to notice. She creates a space where couples feel like themselves, guests feel celebrated, and, honestly, where I can just breathe because I know everything is being captured perfectly. It’s rare to find someone who blends professionalism with genuine warmth and creativity, but Chayil does it every single time. She’s more than a vendor to me. She’s a partner in making magic and bringing dreams to life. If you’re looking for someone who will turn your wedding memories into art, look no further.

We used Cait for our wedding ceremony and reception in September. We had such a wonderful experience with her! From working with me before the wedding to pre plan and prepare to then “winging it” with me the actual day of the wedding- as NOTHING went as planned the day of despite months of preparation! She was so encouraging, supportive, as well as professional. Her knowledge and experience in weddings was a huge plus and extremely helpful. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and will always have a place in the heart of myself and my husband for going above and beyond at our wedding and reception. Her photos were amazing and helped capture the beautiful moments of our day- the formal and the candid so we can remember these good times always… while recalling all the stories of how it all went ‘not as planned’! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for your services and for being the wonderful person you are.

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.

  • Serves Powhatan, VA

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.

Aly Hansen Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Powhatan, VA

We are two wedding photographers specializing in vintage film for the modern wedding & couple. We offer a true documentary approach while still achieving magazine worthy editorial inspired imagery. People hire us for our laid back yet commanding approach. We know what we're doing and we create beautiful photographs for you and your loved ones.

I first discovered Aly’s work months before I even got engaged. She had done a shoot with a hot air balloon — the entire wedding party gathered around it — and I remember thinking, wow, I want my wedding to feel like this. Fast forward to the night I got engaged: I immediately filled out Aly’s interest form. She mentioned she had two openings in the fall of the following year, and we said, “We’ll take it!” almost instantly. (We didn’t even book our venue until months later — a very risky move, but that’s how much we wanted Aly.) A few months before the wedding, Aly came to New York to shoot our engagement photos. From the moment she arrived, she felt like a longtime friend visiting us. We wandered around DUMBO, grabbed a hot dog from a nearby cart, followed by ice cream, and ended the day with a beer. We had just moved to Long Island and asked if she’d be comfortable taking a few photos of us in our new home with our dog. She was immediately game — and even stayed with us. That evening we shared dinner, lots of laughs, and conversations about family and life. The next morning, over coffee, she captured some of the most beautiful photos of us in our home. (While I treasure our wedding photos beyond words, those quiet morning photos are incredibly special to me.) Then came the wedding day — October 2025. Aly and her assistant, Sidney, arrived at the venue and immediately got to work. Aly blended seamlessly into the day in exactly the way you hope a photographer will. She was there to capture, not to distract. I felt comfortable and fully present the entire time while she moved almost silently in the background. She has a rare gift for observing and capturing the most meaningful moments in the most magical way. And now, the photos. First — she was fast. We received our gallery two weeks earlier than promised, and there isn’t a single photo from the day that I don’t love. With so much pressure today to have an “Instagram-perfect” or overly curated wedding, my husband once asked me how I wanted our day to be remembered. My answer was simple: with love and fun. Aly captured that perfectly. She gave us images that will become family heirlooms. I can’t thank her enough. Not only did she make our day unforgettable, but she’s become a true friend to both my husband and me. I can’t wait for her to capture all the future milestones in our lives.

We hired Promani for our April 2025 wedding for both photo and video and I was so, so happy with how everything came out. Both Taylor (photo) and James (video) were so great to work with. And it was so fun being able to see the photo and action shots that they directed for us, come to life in the final product. I was originally a bit apprehensive, given I wasn’t going to be able to see the direct work from my day-of photographer and videographer, but Benjamin the owner assured me that style and quality were trained to Promani’s standards. I really wish I could have told the anxious bride (me) that everything would be okay and turn out beautifully. Post-wedding, Benjamin was super responsive in working with me to make some final tweaks to the video and albums. I’m in the Boston-area and Promani has recently started expanding their work here. I would highly recommend - beautiful work, and super fair pricing for their photo/video bundle, especially for the quality of their work.
