“I have had an absolutely amazing experience with Naomi Culley Photography during my wedding year; I could not recommend her enough to other brides, couples, and families! We originally booked Naomi for our engagement photo shoot in the Outer Banks, and she provided us with stunning photos that will be cherished for the rest of our lives.

Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Within a year of our wedding, our original photographer canceled, and I felt nothing but panic and sadness at having to start the search all over again. When I came across Felisha’s portfolio, it felt like fate. Her work was exactly what I had been envisioning from the start of wedding planning—and more. I reached out on a whim, fully expecting her to be booked, but by all the luck in the world she wasn’t and it was meant to be! From our very first call, Felisha instantly put me at ease. She felt like a friend—warm, kind, understanding, and genuinely willing to listen. Every ounce of worry disappeared, and instead, she added to the excitement of getting married. On our wedding day it was just easy and fun, it felt like a friend was capturing our day. Not only is her photography absolutely breathtaking, but the person behind the camera is equally as remarkable. I would relive our wedding day 100 times over with Felisha by our side. I’m beyond grateful for the memories she captured and gosh are they stunning! I cannot wait for future life moments to bring us together again, she is stuck with us for life if she’ll have us!”

“We had a fantastic time working with Hannah and Matt for photography and videography at our wedding. They were very professional and were very good about keeping up with timelines and getting things moving. Having a large wedding party (25), we were worried about how we were going to make everyone fit well in the photos, but they did a great job capturing multiple angles of everyone. We just got our sneak peeks back and they are amazing. Before the wedding we were able to communicate with them what we wanted in terms of types of shots, day of timeline, and feel of the video. With how chaotic the day felt, working with Hannah and Matt on our couples shots made us feel more connected. Honestly, the best money we spent on our wedding.”

Hey friend, I'm Lauren. I love blue hour, antiquing, a quality documentary, my people, snuggling with my husband, loving our bernedoodle, Junie, and a vanilla oat milk latte at literally any time of the day. My love for photography stems from my desire to capture moments, and my love of color. I have always sought to express emotion through fashion, imagery and creativity. My photography is an overflow of that. I have been professionally photographing wedding for 8 years now, and I have an A.A. degree in arts. I tend to have a more photojournalistic approach to photography, and strive to capture the true emotion of your special day.

“I could not recommend Lauren more!!! As a “destination” couple planning our wedding from out of town, we were nervous about building a relationship with our photographer from a distance - Lauren made that completely effortless. When we came into town for our tasting, we set up an engagement session with her, and from that very first shoot we knew we had found the right person. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, she has such a natural way of putting people at ease. Bryce is an absolute gem and having the two of them by our side on our day brought such joy to us both. On our wedding day, it truly felt like having a friend there rather than a vendor. She anticipated moments before they happened and captured our day in a way that is beyond anything we could have imagined - every time we look through our photos we are amazed all over again. Best of all, we still stay in touch with Lauren long after the wedding, which says everything about the kind of person and photographer she is. If you are considering booking Lauren Ryals Photography for your wedding - DO IT!!!!!!!!”

I am a photographer born and raised in Queens, NY yet now residing in the Hampton Roads, VA area. I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, a husband, and a father of four wonderful kids. I've been a photographer since 2016. I enjoy capturing those candid moments because those are special moments in time that can't be recreated or duplicated. I started New Light Creation Photography shortly after I began taking pictures. I came up with the name because, as we often see some things in black and white I seek to offer a third option. Or shall I say a new light if you will? I want to offer a different way of how you view yourself and how others see you.

“Working with NLC PORTRAITS LLC for our wedding photography was a great experience. The photos were all lightly edited to look very natural, and were given the option for vintage as well. Melvin always made sure to check in on me to make sure I was doing alright during the hustle before the ceremony, and he was great at making the couples photos feel less staged and more natural. He was also fast with communication, and got the photo album back to us very quickly. We would definitely ask Melvin to be our photographer again in the future.”

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

“We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Eugene for our wedding! His relaxed, easy-going vibe immediately put us at ease, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. It felt like having a close friend capturing our day, not just a photographer. The photos are breathtakingly beautiful and so true to life— just authentic moments and natural colors that perfectly captured the feel of the day. Every time we look at them, it’s like reliving our wedding all over again. Eugene was a pro at blending in seamlessly—catching the little candid moments while still guiding us gently through the posed shots when needed. He made everything feel so effortless and fun! If you want stunning photos and a photographer who makes the entire process stress-free, we can’t recommend Eugene enough!”
