James Carroll Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Radford, VA

I’m a wedding photographer based in Virginia, and I care more about how your day felt than how perfectly it followed a plan. I show up calm, pay attention, and let things unfold naturally; giving direction when needed and stepping back when it’s not. I’m drawn to the in-between moments: the laughter, the quiet breaths, the way your people show up for you. Weddings are emotional, chaotic, joyful, and imperfect, and I’m comfortable in all of it. If you want a photographer who feels more like a steady presence than a vendor, you’re in the right place.

Hi, its Jessica, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Virginia. My clients are so special that they find themselves a friend for a lifetime, not just another wedding vendor. I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day itself, they struck the perfect balance between being calm and reassuring while also keeping everything on schedule and flowing smoothly. They captured every important moment beautifully—from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The images are timeless, natural, and full of genuine emotion, not overly posed or forced! What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful they were—not just to us, but to our families and wedding party as well. Multiple guests commented on how kind and personable they were, yet somehow always in the right place at the right time! We are beyond grateful for these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about capturing your story, we cannot recommend them highly enough (:”

I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.”

However, we're so glad we listened to the advice of our friends and family and chose Pop of Molly Photography & Design.

“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 !!”

I’m a Virginia-based photographer specializing in elopements and small weddings, capturing genuine and meaningful moments across Washington D.C., Virginia, and Maryland. More than just a photographer, I help guide couples from iconic city landmarks to scenic nature spots, making sure they have the best time on their elopement adventure. I’ve been telling real love stories since 2014, and as an eloping bride myself, I know how important it is to feel supported and free to celebrate your day your way. I’m here to create an experience that feels effortless, intentional, and unforgettable.

“We had an amazing experience with Stephanie! She is very professional, friendly, and kind, which made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She really knows what she’s doing — from helping us with natural poses to capturing the most perfect moments. She also helped us choose the location for our elopement, making our special day feel truly unique and memorable. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the entire experience. She’s simply wonderful!”

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

“Abby shot our wedding in April and she was amazing! So easy and fun to work with. We live in a different state so I was a little nervous about it but Abby was so communicative, prepared, and reassuring - making sure we knew her travel plans, backup plans, etc. She gave us a handful of instant photos during the reception which was such a fun touch!! Sneaks were delivered within a day of the wedding and the final photos were sent within a very reasonable timeframe. Not to mention they came out great! Highly recommend working with Abby!”
