  • Serves Victoria, VA

My passion has always been to serve people & love them well! I used to work in the medical field & found that passion for others & wanting to freeze time flow into my Photography business! I saw how sudden life could change or be taken in my career as an occupational therapist! I knew I wanted nothing more than to give people tangible items to look back on and treasure for years to come! Also, who doesn’t love, love? It’s so stinking sweet!

I honestly don’t even have the words to fully express how grateful we are for McKenzie. When our original photographer unexpectedly canceled, we were heartbroken and stressed—but McKenzie stepped in without hesitation and completely saved the day. From the moment she agreed to take on our wedding, it felt like everything was going to be okay. And it was more than okay—it was perfect. Our wedding day was hot, chaotic at times, and filled with all the usual last-minute hiccups—but McKenzie handled it all with such grace, patience, and professionalism. She showed up with a calm presence, a warm smile, and the kind of creative energy every couple hopes for in a photographer. She captured everything—every little detail, every laugh, every emotional moment—with such care and talent. The photos we’ve received are beyond anything we imagined. Looking through them brings tears to our eyes because she didn’t just take pictures… she preserved the feeling of the day. I truly believe McKenzie was meant to be there with us. What started as a stressful situation turned into one of the biggest blessings of our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, stay calm under pressure, and make you feel totally at ease in front of the camera—McKenzie is the one. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, McKenzie. You were everything we didn’t know we needed. —Kaitlyn & Brandon

Larabelle Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $999
  • Serves Victoria, VA

I'm an NYC fashion photographer turned wedding storyteller. After years in the fashion world capturing beautiful imagery for models, fashion influencers, and musicians, my inclusive work found its way into articles from Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Buzzfeed, and People. Having been recently married myself, I have fallen in love with documenting real moments and real love. Now, I specialize in photographing weddings with an editorial edge and a heart-forward approach. My style is natural, inclusive, and focused on making you feel confident, seen, and celebrated in every image. I'm based in Crewe, Virginia, but always ready to travel for love!

There are people you come across in life where the ease of conversation translates and you find yourself wanting to cross paths with this person again. This is the case with LaraBelle photography! Met her by chance at a bridal show and after seeing her images I recognized such a beautiful aesthetic with her work! Straightforward, clean, crisp and beautiful photography are words I’d use to describe her work. She’s very quick to turn around a gallery and you can tell her passion for photography and documenting special occasions precedes her. I highly recommend hiring LaraBelle for all of your photography and video needs. You can’t go wrong! I look forward to working with her in the future!

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”

Hi, its Jessica, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Virginia. My clients are so special that they find themselves a friend for a lifetime, not just another wedding vendor. I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day itself, they struck the perfect balance between being calm and reassuring while also keeping everything on schedule and flowing smoothly. They captured every important moment beautifully—from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The images are timeless, natural, and full of genuine emotion, not overly posed or forced! What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful they were—not just to us, but to our families and wedding party as well. Multiple guests commented on how kind and personable they were, yet somehow always in the right place at the right time! We are beyond grateful for these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about capturing your story, we cannot recommend them highly enough (:

On our full day at St. Mary's Chapel in Charlotte, Brandon had such a smooth presence that we barely noticed he was there capturing everything.

Allyse was amazing, to say the least. My husband and I got married on July 4th and wanted to incorporate fireworks into our event somehow. Our venue wouldn’t allow it for safety reasons(understandable) so we talked to Allyse and decided to do a first look a few nights before with fireworks. The photos from the first look were amazing! We started during daylight and they captured everything perfectly. But let me tell you, the way the photos with the fireworks came out was STUNNING!!! Only a true professional could have done what they did! Allyse and her husband did a fantastic job snapping everything moment of our wedding and catching some of the sweetest memories that I can cherish forever- including my 80 year old grandmother holding my 3 month old son! The look of love on her face was so candid and sweet. I’ve had numerous guests tell me later that my photographers were “awesome, fun and so amazing, how did you find them?” And that really sums them up, they were so awesome and the most fun! They didn’t even have to tell you to smile because you were already laughing and having a good time! We are so grateful for their work and highly recommend them!

Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.

I cannot even begin to write a review that expresses how obsessed I am with the photos and service we received from Chayil McGlotten, she truly knocked it out of the park. Chayil’s positive energy and friendly personality brings exactly the tone you need for your day. You could not find a better photographer if you’re looking for true to color, gorgeous photos, showcasing the love and story of the day, all while she also acts as the best hype woman you could ask for. I cannot recommend her and her team at Black Pepper Photography enough. We did our engagement photos at our venue, which ended up being on a fairly dreary day, but Chayil’s amazing skills still managed to highlight the beauty of the location and our excitement. She is incredibly easy to work with, quickly making us comfortable (especially my husband who is not a huge fan of taking pictures) by alternating smoothly between suggesting poses and taking candid photos if we were naturally in a good position. It was so hard to pick just a few photos for our Save the Dates when we received so many, despite having booked just a 30 minute session. On the wedding day, Chayil arrived with amazing energy, helping ease my nerves about the timeline and making sure I got every photo I wanted and then some! She also brought the videographer, who made the most stunning wedding video highlighting our special day. We have received our sneak peaks, and every photo is better than the last, they are all so flattering and gorgeous. Black Pepper Photography documented our day better than I could have ever dared to dream - thank you!!!

Hi, I'm Hannah! I’m a Greenville, SC wedding photographer, available for weddings throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, and beyond. I love soft light, rich color, timeless edits, happy tears, a focus on the little details, and couples who are really, really into each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah photographed our engagement session, our welcome party and rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day—and every single album turned out absolutely perfect. She captured everything with such care, blending beautifully posed shots with those in-the-moment, documentary-style images that feel so real and alive. Her editing is soft, natural, and timeless. As a person, Hannah is just wonderful. My husband and I have never felt truly comfortable in front of a camera, but she guided us through every step and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. We felt like ourselves, and it shows in the photos. We couldn’t be happier with our images or our experience. Hannah is truly exceptional.

If you have the opportunity to work with Maria we recommend you take that chance while you’ve got it. She is an AMAZING photographer, fun to work with, and is so thoughtful/ helpful during the planning journey. We’ve already had a friend say they’d hit her up if they get married because they loved our experience and photos so much. 10000% could not recommend her enough. When we were looking for a wedding and engagement photographer we wanted someone who was creative in their shots, had crystal clear photo quality, and had a true to life/vibrant photography style - and Maria was the perfect fit! We had a phone consultation where she asked thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple but also helped asked things related to photography to help us communicate our desires and ensure she was the right fit. Maria wants her couples to have the dreamiest day and I loved how intentional she was with helping us communicate our vision - she’s the pro and knew exactly what to ask to get us thinking! We were immediately obsessed and left in awe at some sample galleries, so we signed right away. When it came time for our engagement photos we had this super fun pre-shoot questionnaire that once again consisted of thoughtful questions (our planner was SO impressed with them), such as if there were any specific shots we wanted or our comfort level with photos. My now husband and I sat down with wine and went through the questions together, so that itself was a fun planning experience. We’re not the most comfortable in front the camera so it was cool to feel seen and have her understand us before we arrived to the shoot. And let me tell you we had the BEST time! We felt comfortable so quickly and the shoot flew by. The photos turned out AMAZING and we got even more excited for the wedding. Before the wedding we had a questionnaire to go over our desires for the wedding (and even had a chance to put secret info if you had any surprises for people or just wanted her to be aware of certain family dynamics you don’t want widely disseminated). On our wedding day Maria even handled a situation for us when we asked for help and she was the most discreet and professional and got us taken care of. We just got our full gallery back and the photos are the dreamiest - incredible sunset photos, creative and thoughtful detail shots, and excellent photos of our guests. The gallery captures our day perfectly and is everything and more than we could have asked for. Maria is timely, talented, professional, a cool person, and is someone we’d hire again in a heartbeat. Plus, she’s always down for an adventure so if you want to travel I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you there and help make your photography dreams come true. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever. All photos credited to Maria at MTD Photo Co.

I am a portrait photographer based in Roanoke, Virginia. I have always had a passion for capturing special moments, mostly of my family. I have been the designated family photographer for as long as I can remember and have been offering my services professionally since 2021. When I'm not at a shoot, you can likely find me with my nose in a book, cheering on the Chicago Bears, or capturing memories of my own.

Kelsey is the BEST photographer! I knew we would choose her after browsing through her portfolio, we fell in love with her work! Kelsey is super professional and also super sweet. She is very patient and is a great communicator. Very quick to give you sneak peeks! We are beyond grateful for her taking the time to capture our special day, all of the small moments we find/found big to us to the big moments. We will definitely be using her in the future for any photoshoot needs as well as recommending her to everyone!

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jesslyn is immensely talented. Our photos are so beautiful and are indicative of the level of skill she possesses. Working with her was a pleasure, she is communicative, and made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. Not to mention she was such a lovely presence at our wedding, our family still talks glowingly about her two months later. Overall we cannot praise Jesslyn enough, we would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.
