  • Serves Sanford, VA

I'm Maggie, I'm married to my husband & business partner, Patrick! We're the Nolans, the photo team behind Living Radiant Photography. We’ve captured almost to 400 weddings since 2014. While Maryland is home to us, we've shot across the nation & beyond (Aruba/Mexico to be exact). If our family wasn't local we would have moved to Colorado by now but we love it! Our goal & style is to blend stunning true-to-life-color portraits with joyful/fun storytelling. Couples love how we make them feel at ease, photographing natural moments with grace. We have more reviews, they just live over on weddingW*iRe + theK*not. We are new to Zola!

“I truly cannot say enough good things about living radiant. They have photographed some of the most important moments of our lives—our wedding, multiple family sessions, Christmas photos, and even our baby’s first 48-hour photos. Every single time, the photos are absolutely amazing. On our wedding day they helped keep the day running smoothly by guiding us through the timeline and calming nerves when things felt hectic. They paid attention to small details—dress, rings, décor, candid emotions—that made our photos feel so personal. They have a gift for capturing real, beautiful moments, and they make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. If you have an idea or a vision, they are all in and ready to bring it to life. We are so grateful to have found the best photographers that we can trust with our biggest milestones.”

I love what I do! I took my first photography class as a freshman in college and I never looked at the world the same way again. With a lifetime of experience, and a dedication to my art, my goal, whether shooting a wedding, family portrait or in the street, is to capture the special moments that evoke emotion and make memories as real as the day they happened. I would be honored to make those memories yours.

The photos were incredible and I couldn’t have been happier. Our children all have spouses and his couple photos were absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend him to anyone for family, engagement, or wedding photos!”

Ben Lausch Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Sanford, VA

What excites me most as a photographer is finding ways to uniquely capture your story. My goal is to bring out the aspects of you that resonate most-- whether you find that in fun & laughter, or in quiet & stillness. I see myself more as a director than a photographer, always opting for prompts over poses. Through this, I find myself capturing stills that emanate movement and life-- the kind of thing you see in the movies.

“Everyone I know has been asking me who my photographer was for my wedding! His work speaks for itself! But I’d like to add that my experience working with Ben was just as amazing as his photos! From the start Ben was quick to reply, confident, caring and skilled. Ben helped make my pinterest board come to life and I couldn’t be happier! He was organized, easy to get in contact with and happy to help; that is everything a bride needs while planning a wedding! On wedding day when my coordinator moved timelines around and things did not go as planned, Ben adapted calmly and efficiently. I never had to worry that any photos would be missed. He managed to work around a changing schedule and remained confident and professional. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the results! These are photos that will last a lifetime! We are beyond impressed and especially glad we book with him!”

Cherish started her professional photography career in 2007, with a simple request from a friend whose photographer couldn’t make it to her daughter’s wedding. Cherish fell in love with the process and has honed her skills ever since. Since 2015, she has functioned as a school photography supervisor, training new photographer in senior and underclass portraits, as well as group photography. She brings this knowledge base to every wedding she photographs.

“My name is Jessie Freiert, and when my now husband and I got married in September of 2022, Cherish was our wedding photographer. She not only did our engagement photos, but also the photos for our very special day. She took photos of everything from getting ready, to my Dad seeing me for the first time, to the ceremony, to the first dance, the special dances, and everything in between, she captured every moment of our special day. We are forever grateful to be able to look back and know that we can see the joy and happiness of that day captured in such a simple way.”

Mid-atlantic + Eastern Shore documentary style wedding and elopement photographer. Here for the rock-n-rollers, the-down-to-earth, the bring-the-funk-crew, the stay-at-home-with-my-cat kinda people. Hey, I like dog-people too. Whatever your rhythm, we're here for a good time. I gravitate towards weddings with an intimate feel and celebrations that represent each couple to their core. I love a celebration that breaks the status quo of typical wedding traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you’re looking for someone to capture your memories in a seriously beautiful way, Christine Tustin is 100% your gal. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and after seeing Christine’s work we had no question we’d ask her to be our photographer. From discussing a contract to receiving our photos, she made the process simple, clear, and stress free, which means eeeverything when planning a wedding! Also, as a bride who had a wedding during COVID-19, I also had anxiety about making sure all our guests felt safe and comfortable. Christine was super flexible, organized, and made sure photos were timely but also thorough, minimizing any stress I had. Christine is not only an artist but she makes you feel like a BOSS. She has a unique way with people, bringing out the best in them through her sense of humor and badass-ness. She’s captured our personalities and relationship PERFECTLY and we feel super blessed to have these memories. Can’t wait to hang them on our photo wall. I could keep on writing/raving FOREVER about her, but will leave it at this. Look no further for an incredible photographer.”

  • Serves Sanford, VA

I’m Josephine, or Jo for short. I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was about 7 years old. When it came time to choose a college major my dad gave me some great advice: “choose something you love.” So, I chose to study photography and have been living my passion ever since! Capturing authentic, timeless images is my goal. I want you to feel comfortable to be yourself during photoshoots and have your photos reflect your unique personality.

“Working with Jo last August was absolutely great! As a coordinator, having someone on the vendor team who is flexible and calm is super important. She handled the rowdy guests with a calm and patient demeanor, was a team-player as things changed, and open to suggestions and questions from me. And the photos are fantastic, of course!”

Hi! My name is Leigh (pronounced Lee). I'm a nurse-turned-photographer who loves to see new places, chase around my toddler and sip a crisp diet dr. pepper. Most importantly I am someone who cares immensely about the experience my couples have with me from the second they get in touch.

“Leigh not only delivered the most perfect, dreamy photos of our wedding day, but she was also an absolute joy to work with every step of the way. From planning to communication to the big day, everything felt so easy. She honestly felt like a friend who just happened to be snapping photos all day, she fit in so naturally and brought the best energy. Even three months later, she still checks in and gets just as excited about our photos and our day as if it just happened. If I could recommend Leigh a million times, I would without hesitation. Anyone would be beyond lucky to have her by their side on such a special day”

“Victoria exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment she arrived, she brought an incredible energy that immediately put us at ease. She has an amazing eye for detail and was constantly adjusting my dress, veil, and our positioning to make sure every image would be as beautiful as possible. What impressed me most was how invested she was in capturing every moment perfectly. She was thoughtful, encouraging, and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. Beyond being incredibly talented, she's simply a joy to spend the day with—bubbly, kind, professional, and genuinely excited for her couples.

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.

“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.

Her photos are incredible -- we literally cannot stop looking at them, and we are so grateful we selected her for the memories that we will frame on the wall and review for years to come. But even more than her amazing photography was how wonderful she is to work with! From our first Zoom call, she was immediately just so much fun to talk to. Something to think about: Your photographer follows you around your entire wedding day, so you need someone you feel comfortable with! Megan immediately put us at ease. We had a blast with her on the engagement photoshoot (we went to waterfall at sunrise!) and we had a blast planning out all our wedding shots with her. At the wedding itself, her team was so professional and endlessly kind. They never made the wedding feel awkward or had to "stop the action" for a shot. She delivered an AMAZING gallery for us in a timely manner with the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken in our lives. She captured all the special moments and managed all our family dynamics.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Jennifer and Jeremy are truly the most incredible people you could have by your side on your wedding day. From the very first moment, they made us feel completely at ease, and it quickly became clear that they were so much more than photographers — they were our guides, our support system, and our calm in the chaos. Honestly, without them, so much could have gone differently; they were absolutely priceless and worth every single penny. Their professionalism, kindness, and preparedness are unmatched. From planning to execution, they thought of everything — big and small — and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. On the day itself, I watched them quietly put out fires, organize people, and ensure we had everything we needed — all while capturing the most breathtaking, emotional, and timeless photographs. Every single picture tells a story, and every story is more beautiful than we could have imagined. What really sets Jennifer and Jeremy apart is how deeply they care. We trusted them completely, and that trust was met with nothing but care, attention, and joy. Our family relied on them throughout the day more than anyone else, and they were always there with a steady hand, a kind smile, and an eye for the moments we didn’t even notice. Even with a huge team of vendors around us, they were the ones who made everything feel effortless and truly magical. Hiring Jennifer and Jeremy wasn’t just about photography — it was about having people we could trust completely to capture and protect our memories, to make the day feel seamless, and to give us photos that we will treasure forever. They are extraordinary, both as artists and as human beings, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re considering them, do it — they will make your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more.”

Carrie Kizuka Photography, LLC 
Rating: 4.9 (37 reviews)

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Sanford, VA

I'm a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love learning, which eventually led me to earn my Ph.D. (but please don't call me Dr. Kizuka!). I'm fueled by chai tea, rarely seen without a beanie or headband, and known to make questionable facial expressions while concentrating behind the camera. Most days you'll find me climbing, crouching, or occasionally standing in a creek to capture the perfect shot - though I do clean up nicely for wedding days!

“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.”

“You know when you meet someone and it feels like you've been friends forever? That's Heather for you! Heather is fun, kind, warm, and will be your ultimate hype girl! Aside from being an awesome human, Heather is a talented photographer. Don't know how to pose and feel super awkward in front of a camera like me? No worries, Heather's got you! She'll direct you on how to stand, how to put your hands, how your face should look, give you hot tips... all of it! She also has a sharp eye for beautiful landscapes. You're in good hands and will have cute photos, I promise. In addition to Heather, we were lucky enough to work with her videographer, Andrew, and another shooter from her team. The entire HCP team was so fun to work with you and will put you right at ease. I've gotten to do 3 shoots with Heather to date and am incredibly pleased with how our photos have come out. In fact, I haven't even gotten the final album for our wedding yet (just previews) and i'm STILL impressed! If you have the opportunity to work with this team, take it. I couldn't recommend them enough.”
