Weddings By Lee Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Sanford, VA

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, our experience with Lee was nothing short of amazing!!! When we first met Lee in 2019, he welcomed us into his studio with open arms and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. It quickly became apparent that Lee valued his relationship with us and that, for him, to truly capture the essence of our special day he wanted to understand our unique relationship. We shared a glass of delicious wine and talked for over an hour, reviewed some of his work, shared our vision of our wedding, and shared important details of our story together. My wife and I felt so comfortable with him, like we were already friends, and not just another client. I still remember the way I felt walking out of his studio that day. We knew right then and there that he was special and the right choice for us. Fast forward to 2020 and the world had suddenly and drastically changed. My wife and I were forced to postpone our wedding until the following year (November 2021). The experience was painful and frustrating, forcing us to make adjustments and sacrifices that were not part of our original plans. Throughout that entire time, Lee was there for us. He checked in on us, he invited us to hang out, he showed that he really cared. Lee went above and beyond for us for our engagement photos and traveled quite a long distance to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When we had a small "backyard BBQ" wedding in October 2020 for our official marriage (we didn't want to wait another year), out of the goodness of his heart, Lee volunteered to come shoot our day and help capture those precious moments with close family and bridal party. And, at long last, on our big wedding day in November 2021, Lee delivered amazing photographs and an unforgettable experience beyond our highest expectations! He brings extensive experience to the table and we were so impressed with how deftly he moved and how efficiently he operated throughout our wedding day. Lee is kind, funny, reliable, gentle, generous, polite, professional, fair, and he takes amazing photographs! Lee, thank you for choosing us and making our lives better and our wedding day the best it possibly could have been.

**TO CONTACT: VISIT MY WEBSITE. I AM NOT ACTIVE ON ZOLA.** Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Saroj at our wedding, and words truly can’t express how amazing he was. He DJed all three days of our wedding festivities, and from start to finish, he kept the energy alive and the dance floors packed. Saroj played such a great mix of music that appealed to everyone — from our youngest cousins to our older family members — and somehow knew exactly what to play at every moment. His transitions were smooth, his timing was perfect, and he really understood the vibe we were going for. What made it even more special was his dedication. He drove out of state just to be a part of our celebration. That kind of commitment and professionalism is rare, and we are so grateful for it. Thank you, DJ Saroj, for making our wedding so unforgettable. You had us dancing all three days and gave us memories we’ll never forget. If you’re considering booking him, don’t think twice. Just do it. You won’t regret it!

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer.

By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

We had our wedding at the club our families are members of in Rockville, MD. Prior to our wedding, we had worked with her to make sure our day would run smoothly, that there would be enough time for all the photos we wanted and of course that the entire day was covered. Jennifer was great! We did not need an engagement session, so we hadn't met, other than on zoom and via phone calls, prior to our wedding day. But you wouldn't have known it. She really did her research, took time to get to know us, what we liked and didn't like, and crafted a beautiful album for us and our families. She made sure that every image we took was what we wanted before moving on to other poses or group shots. She really made us feel like old, cherished friends and we invited her to stay after her time was up to enjoy the party and celebrate with us! We truly appreciate all her hard work, dedication and cannot wait to see her again soon for our maternity pictures!

Literally the second after I got engaged, my mom sent me Andi's contact information, which she received from a mutual friend that had high praise praise for Musa Weddings. In a few days, Andi and I had set up a call and were signing a contract to work together. Whereas, the other planners that I contacted never got back to me. From our first conversation on, Andi and her team were a pleasure and joy to work with. They answered every little question we had, always checked in to ask how we were doing when we sounded stressed, was quick to respond, and was extremely organized. I quickly realized that I would've be lost without her. Her team recommended every vendor, created every timeline, kept up on track in our budget, and so much more. It was such a weight off of our shoulders to know that every vendor her team recommended, were people that she worked with consistently, so we knew they were trustworthy and would provide quality services. During the planning process, we had some requests that were really important to us and she made it all come together so seamlessly. On the day of the wedding, she moved everything along, checked in with vendors, kept the group organized, and made sure everything was running smoothly. She even took some BTS photos and videos to share with us that was amazing to see the next day. Her team was there with me the entire day, while Andi organized the vendors and event space, to support me. I feel like normally you hear people talk about at least one thing going wrong, but I never felt that way. The day after our wedding, I woke up being unable to think of a single thing that went wrong. Our day was truly magical and it was all thanks to Musa. Hiring Musa was THE BEST decision I made in my wedding journey and I've told everyone I know since about her and her amazing team!

Where do I even begin with this review?! Jennifer has been an absolute gift to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and now that we just go our sneak peeks back, we know we made the right choice with her! We did not use Jennifer for our engagement pictures, so I knew I was taking a risk when hiring her as our wedding day photographer. I was confident with what I saw on social media and our email correspondence ensured me that she would make a great fit for us. She was communicative along the entire way and was intentional when asking for our shot list. On the day of, it was very clear that she was very purposeful in capturing all of my preferred shots and made a dedicated effort to be present for each moment of the day. Jennifer was very professional and both her and her second shooter, Alex, found fun and creative ways to capture unique imagery from our ceremony and reception. She was attentive to our needs as a couple, made lots of great photo recommendations, and did not push us to do any pictures/poses we weren't into. Jennifer knew we wanted to be a part of cocktail hour and was happy to accommodate all of our formal pictures before the ceremony. She was discreet during the ceremony and captured lots of wonderful group shots at the reception. A week before the event she was happy to add on a few additional hours from our original contract.

They delivered beyond expectations, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner who truly cares and delivers excellence!

We loved our experience with DJ Eric at HB Productions! Despite the complexity of our venue having multiple different spaces that needed sound, he did an amazing job of setting up sound systems throughout the venue to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly! He had a perfect sound set up during our wedding ceremony with microphones available so that everyone could hear it despite it being outdoors. And during the dancing portion of our wedding, DJ Eric kept the energy up and kept our guests dancing! We had a planning call where he confirmed what vibe we wanted for our music, dancing, and party, and he brought the energy! We got numerous compliments about our DJ, and he did such a great job. We highly recommend HB Productions!

Paperboys

  • Videographer

  • Serves Sanford, VA

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Just wow!!! Absolutely incredible team from start to finish. We had hired paperboys to be the videographers for our Maryland wedding we had originally planned during the pandemic but we unfortunately had to cancel. They were graceful enough to even give us our deposit back when we made the devastating decision to postpone and they were so kind and understanding during that time. 3 years later, we finally get a new wedding date but we’d moved to Jersey City by that point. We were so excited to have them for our first wedding that we reached out to them again to see if they were free and thank God they were - they traveled to NJ for our new wedding date. And the excitement we received from them to still be part of our new day was so heart warming. And from then, the team was so organized, prompt and reliable in their communication. Always full of enthusiasm with every email, it definitely stood out how sweet they always were. And the wedding day hadn’t even begun yet. Then we got blessed with Laura as our videographer for the wedding. Right from the start of talking with Laura, she was so lovely and polite and again equally as enthusiastic to work with us. She arrived early to set up and got straight to work. She worked so seamlessly alongside our photography team also to get the best shots of us. She made us feel very comfortable throughout the day to get those real candid moments and would even cheer us on when she caught a good shot. Then the teaser video that came out a few days later and wow. We cannot stop replaying it, it was just spectacular. It captured the fire of the day perfectly and made us feel like movie stars. We could not be more excited to see how the final video turns out when she’s done. We are beyond grateful and blessed to have had this amazing team to be the videographers for our day. I could not recommend this team more to anyone’s upcoming wedding, especially if Laura is your chosen videographer! We love you guys!

Emily Avila Photography

Hi! I'm Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

My husband and I reached out to Emily after we found out my step-dad had a brain tumor. Emily met us with grace, understood the importance of the small moments, and captured our day in the most amazing photos! She let us be ourselves (goofballs) while also giving us much needed direction to achieve authentic photos of us that are STUNNING! On a scale of 1-10, Emily is an 11! We highly recommend using her artistic vision for your family photos, engagement pictures, and/or wedding pictures!

We’ve all been in front of someone’s iPhone for a photo. You might not think anything of it until you see it later & you don’t look anything like yourself. My mom loves to snap family photos, so I’ve been there. It's terrible for confidence & it's stressful when someone at the party says “let’s take a photo!” I get it. That’s why I do this–for you to see photos of yourself that actually looks right & you see your own lit up smile, you see yourself in that moment and simply how happy you were. I photograph weddings for that freedom & relief that your creativity & mine are working together to craft authentic, artful photographs for you.

Jenn is...amazing. I don't think there is anyone out there more awkward in front of a camera than me. Yet she still managed to capture the most beautiful wedding and engagement photos! And that’s because she doesn’t just capture photos - she captures moments. She will help you feel at ease, help you figure out your own style, and she will be HONEST when you request photos about how realistic they are. Jenn sees the world through rose colored glasses, and I can’t think of a better trait for a photographer.

Growing up on a tree farm, plants quickly became part of my life. Observing how they grow, getting excited by the seasonal changes, and foraging to create arrangements became my passion. I love weddings and celebrations and incorporating flowers and greenery and unexpected touches.

I'm still so in love with the florals Kelly created for our wedding! We wanted to focus on using seasonal, local florals (as much as possible for a November wedding) and Kelly totally got our vision. She was super easy and fun to work with. Using seasonal flowers, we didn't know what exactly what would end up being available, but we totally trusted Kelly—it was clear she put so much thought and love into her floral designs. The final product was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you Kelly for everything!
