Your wedding day is a whirlwind of family and friends, vows and true love, good food and of course lots of cake! With a wedding photographer, all the beautiful moments can be captured and remembered forever. Pop of Molly Photography focuses on candid photography encapsulating the bride and groom and wedding guests enjoying the moment and being their own beautiful selves. Focusing on candid photography doesn't mean I won't take the time to sit down with you and go over the "must have" shots, list of family members and wedding party, and ensure I have photos of all your Pinterest board "dream wedding" photos.

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.

Black Pepper Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication was fantastic - they were timely, professional, and personal, with an enthusiastic approach that made the experience truly enjoyable. The quality of their work was simply stunning, with breathtaking, extraordinary, and timeless photos that captured every precious moment of our special day. Chayil, our photographer, took charge to help manage the multiple people in our wedding party and family when we were feeling overwhelmed, and executed our photography needs flawlessly. She was super friendly and funny to work with, making our day exciting and memorable. Chayil is a wonderful person who really dedicates herself to your special day and stops at nothing to capture exactly what you want. She's a true life photographer who captures every life milestone in photographs that will last a lifetime. Chayil was also incredibly supportive and willing to work with whatever we asked of her - she was honestly such an amazing guest and vendor, even getting people out on the dance floor and making everyone smile and laugh all night long. Everyone who attended our wedding still tells me how great Chayil was and how lucky we were to have her with us and capturing our special day.

Lover Pics

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Ruther Glen, 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.

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.

I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

My husband and I worked with Paul for both our engagement session and wedding. Knowing nothing about CIP, we decided to work with them due to the affordability of their wedding packages and ample portfolio photos. It was important to us that we found someone who could capture both the sappiness and the goofiness of our relationship, and Paul nailed it. Not only was he personable and entertaining, he also knew exactly what he was doing. He asked us the right questions prior to the big day and made sure we knew what to expect, and he slid very easily into the role of MC, which made the event run so much smoother. Not only that, but the turnaround time for photos was FAST, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! I have nothing but praise for Paul and the CIP team and am so thankful we got the pleasure of working with them.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. 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.

It was great to work with Cesar. From the moment we had our introductory call with him, we were drawn in by his authenticity, humor and laid back energy. We knew he was a good fit for a day that we wanted to keep positive, low-stress, and focused. When it came time for him to give instructions for couple and family shoots, he was confident and cool. In fact, many of our guests went out of their way to share how impressed they were with Cesar. He did a great job capturing our daytime wedding despite the quick change from cloudy and rainy to a bright springtime sun. He struck the perfect balance of positioning himself well to get great shots without being conspicuous or obtrusive. I plan to hire Cesar for other events in the future and recommend that my friends do the same.
