  • Serves Powhatan, VA

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Jesslyn is immensely talented. Our photos are so beautiful and are indicative of the level of skill she possesses. 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. Overall we cannot praise Jesslyn enough, we would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.

I am so thankful to liz & her co photographer for capturing our special day. She was always accessible , and extremely helpful. Whether it was helping me find an outfit for engagement photos, to finding the right place to take them. While preparing for the wedding I would send her videos and FaceTime her at my venue walk throughs, so she could get an idea of where she could capture the best photos on our wedding day. On wedding day she was on them , and with us all day. I also loved how we got a handful of sneak peaks within 48 hours so we could have an idea of all the magical moments she captured. She had a positive attitude from the moment I met her and really made me feel like she loved what she did and wanted to capture all our special moments. My living room is full of all of our amazing wedding photos. Thank you so much Liz !!

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.

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.

NO RULES. JUST FUN. Wedding days are awesome. There’s you, the rad couple who has decided to take the big leap. And there’s the cake, the vows, the friends and family, the toasts and all the love. (Did I mention cake?) Even though weddings can be awesome, they can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With Awesomesauce Photography, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing. I want you to actually enjoy partying with your friends and eat the awesome meal you have meticulously chosen, not spend it taking portraits for hours. With me, there are no rules. Just fun.

Linda!!!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer and cheerleader throughout the process. My husband and I are a little camera shy and we expressed how we wanted to photos to be about the day, instead of the day being about the photos. She could not have done a thing more to make our wish come true. Linda’s photos capture so much emotion and behind the scenes things we didn’t even notice ourselves! Not to mention, she was on the dance floor with us and had some great moves!

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.

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.

She loves what she does and you can tell--she's dedicated to what she does and works with absolute excellence.

She sent me 100's of sneak peaks the next day followed by an extensive gallery a few weeks later and a personalized usb that will make a wonderful keepsake. I am so grateful for Jessica and would recommend her to anyone!!!"

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We definitely recommend OLAS. Our favorite photos from the day were our fun wedding party pictures! Everything was explained clearly during the planning process and we wouldn’t change anything from the day. We received our wedding day photo gallery promptly at the time we were expected and it was a good surprise on our honeymoon.

I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Wow can’t say enough amazing things about this photographer, he truly was one of the highlights of our wedding. Don’t walk to book him run! He was super focused, detail orientated, bilingual, fun and laid back. He captured so many incredible behind the scene moments and my family kept saying we didn’t even see him take that picture. We were nervous about not knowing how to pose. He made us so comfortable and had amazing poses. He captured intimate moments of our families reactions during the ceremony, speeches and partying. He helped the day flow so well and we couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures were. The turn around time for the pictures was also super fast. We had a bad experience with a photographer prior who ended up being a scammer and he truly saved our wedding day!! Thank you!

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.
