They were incredible! I got an amazing deal for Black Friday (highly recommend if you can!) that came with two photographers and a videographer for 7 hours. They were really fun to work with, had creative vision on what our event was all about, and were professional. The consultation process was flexible and easy, they worked well with my day of coordinator and gave us the gift of images that will be with us forever. Thank you so much to the team at Sound Originals!

I have been doing photography/weddings for the last 10 years or so. I am a mama of 2 and a wife myself. I may be a professional, but I am just like You, a person, and I strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible working with me!

Katie at K.S. Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, she was friendly, approachable, and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. On the day of our wedding, Katie was so kind, positive, and incredibly attentive, capturing all the intimate moments that made our special day truly magical. She found the perfect spot for her to fake our photos and was so patient and took her time to listen to who we wanted in the photographs and was there every step of the way to make sure we had a beautiful selection/ album. She went above and beyond what I expected, she even guided me and my now husband in to various intimate poses that we felt truly capture our love and happiness. The quality of her work is incredible - the photos are beautifully detailed and skillful, thank you for allowing us to cherish and share these memories with our loved ones. We are so grateful to have found K.S. Photography and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. Thank you to Katie for being a part of our special day and for being so wonderful throughout the process, it definitely alleviated so much worry and stress that comes with wedding preparations!

  • Classic style

  • Serves Sterling, VA

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brandon exceeded our expectations for photographing our wedding day! He seemed to know exactly what we wanted. The pictured he captured of us at sunset were some of our favorites - the colors were gorgeous. He is so much fun to be around, he's easy to work with, and took lots of stress away from the wedding day. Thanks to him we have plenty of beautiful memories from our favorite day!

“How does a handyman end up in the wedding industry?” It’s a fair question — and one I get often. I’ve always considered myself a jack-of-all-trades. For the last decade, I’ve worked with my hands on all kinds of creative and practical projects through my part-time handyman business. That business gave me the flexibility to support my wife, Cassidy, in her wedding planning and floral design work — and that’s where my path into the wedding world really began.

We recently worked with Sean for a styled shoot and he was great to work with. He really cares about getting the best shot and is hands on to make sure that every detail is perfectly in place- whether catching that a candle has blown out or straightening a bow tie!

Giuliana Farrays Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Sterling, VA

I have an absolute passion for capturing genuine moments and the magic of love that couples share when marrying the love of their life. I love capturing every detail, every special moment you share, stunning portraits of you and your partner-- All of it! My goal is to capture breathtaking photos that take you back in time when you see them in a storytelling & photo-journalistic way and in a vibrant & airy style. Images that will be treasured throughout the years, not only by you but the following generations to come.

Giuliana provided the flexibility I needed. Being a new mom and trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was more than insane. She was able to deal with my being bad at preplanning and need to change things up with little notice. I cannot express how appreciative I am of that! She’s very sweet and amazingly talented. My family was treated like people instead of clients and it made everything go so smoothly. Without her advice I would have been lost when it went to planning out the pictures. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!! Her prices are fair and she’s just an amazing person. Thank you for everything Giuliana! :)

Hello my name is Heather Justice! Being an intuitive and energetic photographer brings out my passion behind that lens that doesn't break your budget. I enjoy weddings as a guest but I have found myself even more closely involved with the wedding when I am capturing those precious moments in photographs to be looked at forever.

Heather was such a delight to work with and friendly and funny. She knew how to get everyone together because it was tough with my family, however she kept the flow going great. Her candid shots were amazing, i heard about her and was happy to use her and FireEyez, truly no regrets. Very affordable compared to the other photographer we spoke with. Thank you FireEyez!!!

Jen Wright Photography offers engagement, wedding, and portrait services in the Northern Virginia area. For more information, please inquire. We're looking forward to connecting with you to help plan your special day!

We decided to hire Jen as our wedding photographer after talking with her on the phone (she’s SO nice!) and seeing that she had reasonable prices. We were so happy with our decision!! She was super friendly and easy to talk to. Neither my husband nor I had ever done a photoshoot, and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend having her do your engagement shoot as well, because it helped us all form a bond and I had ZERO concerns on the big day! She is very flexible and I felt like she was willing to do whatever it took to make our photos special for us. I was able to tell her exactly what I wanted, and she delivered all that and more! She knows what she’s doing, and her photos turn out beautifully. I asked for “fresh, bright, and candid”. We just wanted the photos to accurately reflect the essence of the entire day, and they absolutely did. She was flexible and willing to do what we asked of her, but also used her professional opinion and guided us when necessary. I had some poses that I wanted to try and she was always on board, and then her ideas were always amazing! Also, we got our pictures back SO FAST!! Lastly, she was amazingly flexible given the circumstances of having a “COVID wedding”. We would recommend her to anyone!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
