Growing up with a passion for skateboarding provided me with a creative view of the world around me. I've been taking pictures professionally for about 8 years and I'm inspired by the music I listen to and those that I love being creative with. I have also photographed many different subjects, scenes, and moments! There's a picture around every corner.

Hi! I'm Katie, an East Coast & Destination Wedding Photographer, based in Washington D.C. After taking a high-school photography class–it quickly became clear that I loved the art of photography. Soon after graduating, I was offered an internship position near Chicago that allowed me to continue to dive into the world of studio lighting, image editing, and commercial photography; continuing to hone on the technical skills that often get left behind when you have the digital screen to instantly see your work. A few years later, I photographed a friends wedding and it became crystal clear that this was exactly what I wanted to pursue.

I am passionate about capturing each couples unique story and their one-of-a-kind love. We are a husband and wife team plus our best man! When Jeremiah and I got engaged and started planning our wedding, the search for a photographer & videographer was a grueling tasks. I kept saying, “If ONLY Jeremiah & En could capture our wedding,” but that was totally unfeasible be as one is the groom & the other the best man. Then the light bulb went off & Til Death Media was born!

I'm a film photographer based in Virginia, who travels the world capturing couples unique stories on film. I'm always ready to travel & continually inspired by my clients & the stunning locations I’m grateful to explore each year. When not working or traveling, you'll find me spending quality time with my husband & our rescued Australian shepherd mix named Bear. Obsessed with stonewashed linen, puppies & minimal design, my ideal evening is a relaxed alfresco dinner with friends at a farm table overflowing with wine bottles and lots of laughs.

You just have to live and life will give you pictures. The first time I saw the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, I knew photography was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! His mantra is exactly how I approach wedding photography. I want you two as a couple to enjoy your wedding, having the best day of your lives, and amazing photographs will come from your joy.

You can find me drinking coffee, lifting weights, or hanging with our cats on any given day. I love people and I love working with people. Photography and art have been part of my life for over a decade and working with you to create your vision is what brings me the most joy. Reach out to say hello, ask about AGP, and talk about your big day.

My name is Havana and I have been photographing precious moments for roughly 4 years. My favorite place to be is behind the camera capturing all of your special moments. I am new to DC and was previously based in Ohio.

I have the most amazing memories from childhood of being cuddled up with my Granny going through old pictures. The joy and nostalgia that came from those old film photos where everything. My favorite part was always looking up at my Granny as she got lost in each individual memory, seeing her face shape shift in moments of grief over the past and then instant joy because she knew that she could relive that moment as long as she had those photos. Every time I pick up my camera I strive to create tangible moments that will last a lifetime.

I'm sure you landed on this page because you saw my photography work somewhere and you were drawn to it. I want you to STAY on this page because you are looking for a talented wedding photographer who will do far more than take gorgeous timeless fine art photographs for you.

Hi there, I'm Rudney Novaes — And I’ve been intrigued by photography since I was a boy. In youth I discovered a fascination with film when my Father left behind a vintage camera. I was amazed by the mechanics of the time-worn device, in awe of its capability to freeze moments in time. Today, I’m an editorial and wedding photographer capturing stories filled with feeling, and my love of light and film continues to shape my craft. I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge I’ve chased since childhood with aspiring creatives and seasoned professionals alike, and I believe wholeheartedly that there’s always more to learn from one another.

I'm Kristie and I'm the owner of Kristie Leigh Photography, LLC. I specialize in Wedding, Engagement, Maternity and Marketing Sessions while also spending time getting to know you by the smile on your face, and sparkle in your eyes, creating digital footprints that will last forever & ever! Photography was invited into my life simply because reading a book under a tree shade, or sitting cozy by the fire with my Great Danes, always ended in a great photo that truly spoke to me! As a Christ Follower, I am blessed to share the gifts God has given me and use them to bless others!

The biggest failure at the end of our lives would be trading our intimacy for our fears in light of playing it safe. This season of your lives may make you feel unwelcome and even excluded as dive into your wedding research.

My name is Rebecca, but some call me Becks. I'll let you decide which one to call me! I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer based out of Alexandria, VA, but I am ALWAYS looking for an excuse to travel. I'm inspired by human connections, love and friendships. I live for adventure, goofiness and optimism. When I’m not working, I can be found working out with my husband, traveling or at a grocery store/farmers market. Dark chocolate, workout clothes, ice cream, sushi and vegetables are a few of my favorite things.

I help non-traditional couples capture their wedding in a timeless, fun, and meaningful way. I do everything I can so that you're actually present at your wedding, making the memories you're going to look back on for the rest of your lives. With me, you get the best of both worlds - I seamlessly weave between a fly on the wall capturing genuine moments as they're happening, to the director, working with you to create gorgeous images that perfectly capture your love and your authentic selves, to a part of the party, capturing the joy and fun you and your guests experience while celebrating your love.

All you need is love.. But gorgeous photos wouldn't hurt! It's about more than hiring someone to hold a camera and snap a few pics. Wedding photography is about carefully crafting and capturing the moments of your big day in a way that beautifully tells the story of your love.

Photography, for me, is all about people. And I LOVE people. As a documentary photographer, I pay attention to the connections among people at events and make images that show the emotion, the connection, and the meaning of the moments I capture. But more than just loving photography, I've photographed hundreds of weddings over the years I've been in business and am constantly told by my clients how helpful, knowledgeable, and calming I am in moments that are new to my clients. And with a Masters in Photojournalism, I'm not new to this.

I'm Erika, born and raise in Italy! and for that I love to travel to my hometown as much as I can. I moved in USA in 2012 and I love capturing your raw emotions in the most stunning settings. I'm super outdoorsy, I love my hubby and my puppies... I believe in real connection and I think we must really like each other, because I'll be in your face all day, on your wedding day! Are you ready for it?

After my first year of college studying music, I decided to take the business route. I worked for several Fortune 500 businesses and even some start-ups. Photography initially started as a hobby but it slowly became a passion as I developed a growing desire to serve others instead of quarterly sales goals. Studying various genres of photography allowed me to discover wedding & portrait photography - and the rest is history! From Washington DC to your destination event, my specialties include weddings, engagement sessions, and portrait photography.

I am a strong self-driven, creative and forever a hopeless romantic person. I am always so inspired when I hear personal love stories. I am passionate about what I do, helping people show the best of them in front of the camera. To not be ashamed of sharing their love to the world.

I've always been in love with love and I am truly so lucky I get to capture it as my job! I've been doing photography for 10 years now and weddings for 5. It brings me so much joy and I adore my couples. My couples tend to be sweet, laid-back, fun people who value what I do and trust my vision. Enough about me though, I can't wait to hear more about you!

I have always been obsessed with capturing love in all its rare and beautiful forms. I’m enamored by human connection. Of all the things on this planet I could point my camera at, love fascinates and excites me the most. There is a simple and mystical art in freezing a moment of connection between two people in love. I’m a natural storyteller, a born collaborator, and I thrive in preserving my clients’ most intimate moments and letting love speak for itself.

Photography and video production is my greatest joy – there is nothing better than capturing the essence of people and relationships! I think everyone has a story worth capturing and I love to find it through my lens. I have a documentary style with a touch of artistic flair. We try to make all our photo sessions fun and relaxing so that we get the best imagery. I think everyone has something beautiful and compelling about them and I make pleasing our clients our number one mission.

My interest in photography began at age 16 when my brother brought home a used Canon A1 from a pawn shop. My persistent attraction to the art of photography led me to the Savannah College of Art and Design where I received a BFA in Photography. I then ventured to Asheville, NC where I was surrounded by a creative community of artists and found a niche preserving timeless images of love-classics. Fast forward many years later, I now live in Washington D.C. which serves as my home base for my continuing adventures.

As an artist, my style is romantic with a touch of fine art elegance and editorial fashion, and my focus is to preserve your best memories by creating elegant images with genuine emotion. I want you to remember exactly how life was in those moments, both the calm, intimate ones and the unkempt, silly ones.

I am constantly looking to work with non profits and charities who are in need of volunteer photography work in the DC/MD/VA area. Email me to discuss co-host a meetup with me. Why named “THEOGENIC”? Theo = Many names beginning with the root “Theo-” derive from the Ancient Greek word Theos (Θεός), which means God; Many other names beginning with “Theo-” do not necessarily derive from Greek, but rather the old Germanic “theud”, meaning “people” or “folk”. (Source) -genic = produced by, formed from Theo + genic = Produced by God and the People

Hey Y'all! Tori Del came from my name Victoria Delgado. I am an introvert so if I come off as quiet or awkward that's basically the over analytical thinking happening as we speak lol. I am a hopeless romantic. I truly believe there is someone out there for everyone and I legit cry at all weddings. When it comes to photographing our loving couples, I love to incorporate both digital and film photography. I was introduced to photography through film photography and have always loved the aesthetic. When I am not photographing loving couples, I am holding down my household with my husband. We have 3 amazing children and a cute pup!

I want to service couples who prioritize their home and the commitment to each other on their wedding day while having family and friends to celebrate their big day! My favorite part about wedding photography is making people feel comfortable, so you don’t have to worry bout posing awkwardly — you just worry bout enjoying your big day! I do this through my style of posing and capturing pictures, which can be described as photojournalism and illustrative with bold and warm, but true-to-life colors. I've given you little prompts on things to do so you can focus on the people and things you love not me with my giant camera.
