Great photography doesn't require you to perform. It requires you to be present. My job is to handle everything else so that when the moments happen, they're honest, and the images reflect exactly how the day felt. Your wedding day moves quickly. I stay calm so you don't have to — present enough to catch every quiet glance and joyful tear, discreet enough that you never feel watched.

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I captured my first wedding in 2016 and I was instantly in love with being a wedding photographer!

Awarded Best of Zola
“We were so glad we chose Lotus Photography for our wedding day. From the start, Georgette listened to what we wanted and made sure every moment we cared about was captured beautifully. She had a real gift for noticing the small details that made our day special, and she knew exactly how to help us feel confident and gorgeous in front of the camera. She was supportive throughout the whole process and answered all our questions with real knowledge about her craft. Looking at our photos now, we can see how much care she puts into her work. My husband and I would recommend Lotus Photography to any couple looking for a photographer who truly gets what matters!!”

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

“We had the most incredible experience with Geneva for our destination engagement session in California! We absolutely love the West Coast and wanted something unique for our photos, so we flew out to California and brought Geneva along to capture us on a stunning beach. From the moment we started, Geneva made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She gave great direction while still allowing us to be ourselves, making the entire session feel natural and fun. Before our session, Geneva sent us a thoughtful engagement questionnaire to learn more about us, which made a huge difference during the shoot. It felt like she truly understood our personalities and what we wanted from our photos. We can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a wedding photographer—her work is timeless, and we were so happy with the results.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!”

Hi, I'm Nathan. I don't just photograph weddings—I witness them. With a calm, steady presence and deep respect for what you hold sacred, I work without intrusion so you can stay fully present while your day unfolds. I'm drawn to the moments that often pass unnoticed: the breath before the aisle, light spilling through stained glass, a parent's quiet tears as vows are exchanged.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Before the wedding, Nathan was attentive and details-oriented as he helped us plan and figure out what photos were the most important to us. He met with us over Zoom and in-person at the venue to walk through the day and provided countless suggestions and tips to make sure the photography and ceremony went smoothly. During the wedding, Nathan took both phenomenal posed photos and brilliant candids. He was a constant presence with a cameras holstered on each hip, like a cowboy with lenses instead of six-shooters. He worked quickly to get us a selection of social-media ready the same day, perfect to share with family across the world who couldn't make it. After the wedding, Nathan's editing and communication skills are top-notch. He even drove out (over an hour!) to take some photos of a sapphire ring of my new wife's - it's a family heirloom she wore during the wedding that she wanted additional photos of. When we tried to pay for these additional photos, he waved us off. Nathan truly went above and beyond the call of duty. In terms of quality, the photos he took are top-notch. We have fantastic posed photos, often with little touches he suggested in the moment to ensure we looked relaxed, smiling, and at our best. His candids are some of my favorite photos in the world and perfectly capture what was a perfect day. Nathan's humor, attention to detail, and devotion to getting every shot right make hiring him one of the best wedding decisions we made. I would heartily recommend hiring Nathan and plan on calling on him if we have photography needs in the future.”

“I seriously cannot put into words how amazing Nam is. My now husband and I had never done a photoshoot together so I was nervous how we would be. Nam made it so easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She’s a gem! Our wedding went flawlessly because of her. She stayed on track and got every requested photo and then some. She fit right in with all of us, cracking jokes and all. She has such a great personality and will go the extra mile for “the shot”. Can’t recommend enough!!”

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

“My business was in need of professional headshots and Sara did an amazing job! Her pricing is fair, she communicates in a timely manner, and she has a nice studio perfect for the photos I wanted. Not only did she take individual headshots, but she also took group shots of my team. Despite some of my employees being camera shy, Sara knew just how to get them out of their shell and direct them into taking the photos. I am very impressed by how Sara conducts her business and recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer!”
