I’m Stephen Lawson, a wedding photographer and videographer based in Richmond, VA. I photograph weddings, elopements, and engagement sessions, from courthouse ceremonies and intimate backyard vows to full-day celebrations. My approach is relaxed and unscripted. I’ll guide you when it helps, but mostly I want you to enjoy your day while I capture how it actually felt. Every couple gets a personalized consultation before the wedding, a sneak peek within 72 hours, and a private online gallery. Most of my wedding packages include an engagement session, and I’m always glad to photograph your family as it grows after the wedding.

“Stephen is an amazing photographer! My husband and I have booked him on numerous occasions, and his attention to detail is truly impeccable. We loved his work when he took our engagement photos, so when we decided to get married in Bolivia, we knew we wanted him to be our photographer. Stephen went above and beyond by creating a customized package for us and traveling all the way to Bolivia. He even took the time to explore the area and scout out locations he thought we would love for our photos. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! His dedication, creativity, and attention to detail made the experience so special, and we absolutely love our photos. We highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for a talented photographer who genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life!”

Hey, my name is Hope Karnes! I’ve been taking photos professionally for going on 5 years now, and it has been the greatest journey getting to grow, learn, create, and make art with some of the greatest clients a gal could ask for. When I’m not behind the camera, you can probably find me with my family, getting a Diet Coke with my fiancé, planning our wedding, or wishing I was on the beach. I’ve lived in Virginia my whole life, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best places to be. I love the (mostly) beautiful weather, the endless places and spaces to explore. I’m so thankful for every person who trusts me to document their life, their love, and their memories. It is truly an honor!

“We had the best experience with Hope! She handled herself with such grace, poise & professionalism. My now husband reached out to her to have her capture our surprise professional! She delivered such amazing photos that we will cherish forever! everything that you look for in photos, the lighting, the candid moments & the more posed photos we're all top notch!! Her package came with engagement photos too! Once again she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She prompted us in such a natural way that really captured us !! We got so many awesome pictures from this session. On wedding day she was such a blessing! She has such an artistic eye and knows how to bring visions to life. It was so fun to have her there while I was getting ready with my bridesmaids! She fit right in and was so fun to have around. She captured so many beautifully candid moments from the day. She also captured all the important moments so well! All the first looks, walking down the aisle, first kiss etc. She spent time with us leading up the wedding and learned what our wants/visions were and really followed through with meeting them. She is really incredible and captured our proposal, engagement season & wedding so so beautifully! I HIGHLY recommend and have told all my friends about her! :)”

She created such a relaxed, effortless atmosphere that we almost forgot we were being photographed, so every kiss and smile felt genuine and natural. Thank you so much Melinda!”
