Virginia Beach, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Hi! I'm Brittany Sanders, a destination wedding photographer based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I capture all types of love worldwide. My style of photojournalism documents all of the little and intimate emotions throughout the best day of your life. My work can be described as cinematic and documentary, with slight editorial.

“From the moment we first spoke with Brittany and browsed her work, we knew she was the perfect fit for capturing our wedding day. Brittany and her team were prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Her communication was outstanding, and she provided creative suggestions throughout the day that resulted in elegant, timeless photos. Even though it was just Brittany and her second shooter, they felt like they were everywhere, expertly capturing every single special moment. Looking back at our photos, we are in awe of how Brittany was able to preserve all the magic and joy of our wedding day in a way we'll be able to cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend Brittany Sanders Photography to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photography team to beautifully document their big day.”

Hey! I'm Valerie. I spend most of my weekends as a creative Virginia wedding photographer, but I also shoot a ton of documentary lifestyle portraits and spend the weekdays photographing small-business marketing content for clients throughout Virginia and DC. I believe in honest portraiture, which basically means capturing YOU, your family, or your business in ways that legitimately feel real. I always want people to feel like they know you when they see an image. Forget the stereotypes of what it's supposed to be. Let's just make real images with real smiles in real situations in real places that matter.

“Val is so easy and fun to work with! We are so happy we trusted her with capturing our special day and recommend her for all of your photo taking needs!”

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an introvert and more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Harvest Moon Photography/Camille is a fantastic choice for photography. This is the second time we used her, first time was for some romantic photos in the forest. She’s easy to communicate with through text and always has suggestions for outfits depending on the look we’re going for. From the start of each session, her communication is fun, efficient, and exciting. The quality of her work is truly elegant, dreamy, and represents our love for each other in a way I couldn’t dream of. The photos are always captured so beautifully and shows the joy of our love. Camille sent out sneak peaks almost immediately and sent out the final results quicker than we were quoted. We're thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Harvest Moon Photography to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photos.”

  • Serves Virginia Beach, VA

Luxury wedding photographer for the modern couple with classic style. Based in Virginia, traveling worldwide. I have only ten photographs from my wedding day—ten carefully chosen frames that captured the expected moments. I cherish them. But as the years have passed, it’s not those images I reach for first- it’s the moments that weren’t documented. The unscripted moments- those are the ones that shaped the heart of our story. That perspective is at the core of how I photograph weddings today. I approach each celebration with an eye for both refinement and truth- capturing the depth of what is felt.

  • Serves Virginia Beach, VA

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

“I was so excited to finally work with Elizabeth! We go way back our pictures turned out so incredible. We can’t stop obsessing over them! Elizabeth is very thorough during the meetings to make sure every shot you want is accounted for and everything stays on schedule! I look forward to working with her for a boudoir and/or maternity session!”

DeLine Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Virginia Beach, VA

My excited, caring and spunky with a side of ‘hell yeah’ personality makes people feel comfortable, protected and loved. I meet people, hug them within seconds and it’s not awkward. Also, catch me slingin' jokes and dancing while I work or just on a Tuesday. I started my business three years ago, since then I've captured 102 weddings and over 200 couples, I can't image doing anything else! I’m married to Alex, love of my life, cat-doggy daddy, and muse. We fell in love after I called him a loser the moment we met. Since then we've lived in Hawaii, traveled the world and added two fur babies!

“When you choose DeLine Photography, you're choosing a partner and friend, not a vendor! My wife and I are professional photographers and videographers, so the selection process wasn't taken lightly for our own wedding. Cat made the short list immediately and then after meeting with her, getting to know how professionally structured her and her team are, it was a no brainer. Oh, not to mention her style of photo taking and editing is natural. Like us. If the grass is green and the sky is blue, that is how they should appear on the final product. I digress... It's not just about the business portion, but also the personal interaction. Our engagement shoot was so freeing. So much so that we all shared a drink together and took time to understand we are actually similar people with similar interests, not just a business transaction. I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley, another member of her team, as the second shooter for our wedding day and I can say without a doubt, that those things we enjoyed so much about the engagement session with Cat are also present with Ashley. I have been the photog or videographer when the groom is getting ready and I learned things from Ashley that I will use to make the next groom I work with feel comfortable and natural. When Cat arrived on our wedding day, rocking a sick blue jumper, ready for comfort and functionality, I was immediately at ease. This is a person that knows what she needs to do to be at her best and recognizing that allowed me to turn my vendor brain off and just enjoy every second of our special day. Lastly, the delivery process of sneak peeks, a surprise video from our final dance and blog post has been top notch and has given my wife and I the ability to relive so many moments together and with friends and family, even before the gallery is sent. Our interactions with those family and friends have warmed our hearts because their words about how amazing their time was at our wedding, gets backed up by those moments captured for a lifetime. If you have made it this far and haven't booked Cat yet, this is me telling you to do it now! She isn't just a vendor, she's a friend! And who doesn't have room for one more friend to celebrate one of the biggest days of their life?”

A former newspaper photographer & editor, I truly love to capture authentic moments as they happen - commonly known as lifestyle photography. My favorite photos are storytelling moments filled with happiness & love. I'm also a sucker for gorgeous light, sunsets, trees, and ALL naturally beautiful outdoor settings. I'm a bit of a romantic and LOVE catching those in between funny moments when no one thinks I'm watching. My Client for Life program evolved when so many couples came back to me for newborn and family sessions - I LOVE building that relationship and becoming "their" photographer for life.

After shooting weddings throughout high school, I set my camera down when I went to college. I thought I would go, get a corporate career, and just take gorgeous photos of my kids (currently 2 cats and 2 dogs) one day. Three degrees later, the corporate life was draining. My love for telling love stories had never went away. When I picked up my camera again, I felt at home. I’ve run wholeheartedly into this dream and I belong here. Telling love stories, making fast friends, documenting your favorite moments, adventuring through the woods, meeting all the dogs - this is my home.

For 20 years I’ve had the privilege of documenting love stories in more than ten countries, capturing weddings rich with emotion and once-in-a-lifetime moments. I’m now happily settled in Williamsburg and throughout Central Virginia, where I balance my passion for photography with life as a proud mom to my feisty young daughter. Weddings still light me up the same way they did on day one—the passion, the quiet, sweet glances, the joyful chaos on the dance floor, the deep, unspoken connection between two people promising forever.

“Summer is the absolutely best wedding photographer.....you can not go wrong! We had a desination wedding in the Bahamas and all the pictures were breathtaking. I am not photogenic but she made me look like a model! People could not stop talking about how gorgeous our pictures were.”

“OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. -Personable and Friendly Approach One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs. -Unique Candid Photography Technique What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! -Superb Communication and Understanding Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our expectations. -Execution of Vision On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry. I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.”

Her photos are incredible -- we literally cannot stop looking at them, and we are so grateful we selected her for the memories that we will frame on the wall and review for years to come. But even more than her amazing photography was how wonderful she is to work with! From our first Zoom call, she was immediately just so much fun to talk to. Something to think about: Your photographer follows you around your entire wedding day, so you need someone you feel comfortable with! Megan immediately put us at ease. We had a blast with her on the engagement photoshoot (we went to waterfall at sunrise!) and we had a blast planning out all our wedding shots with her. At the wedding itself, her team was so professional and endlessly kind. They never made the wedding feel awkward or had to "stop the action" for a shot. She delivered an AMAZING gallery for us in a timely manner with the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken in our lives. She captured all the special moments and managed all our family dynamics. We would book Megan again 100000 times. Also, as a queer couple, she was so affirming and made us feel so comfortable. We love you Megan 3 Can't wait to book a newborn shoot one day ;)”

We loved the candid photos she captured of not only us but our loved ones. She is incredibly easy to work with and made our wedding experience so wonderful. I know that the pictures Molly took will be cherished for the rest of our lives and in the lives of those who love us. Molly also made the preparation process incredibly easy.

“Brayley was an integral part of our wedding day! Her timeline was so helpful in planning how to get the shots I wanted. She was fun to work with and it just felt like we were hanging out with a friend rather than posing for pictures. The sneak peaks we have gotten back so far are amazing. The golden hour photos have taken my breath away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for both timeless and fun photos. She is so easy to communicate with and I felt like I could ask any question.”

“We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience”

I’m Brandon, a documentary wedding photographer based in Charlotte, NC. I photograph weddings with a candid, observant approach, focusing on the real moments, relationships, and atmosphere that make your day yours. I’ll give you direction when needed, but I won’t turn your wedding into a photoshoot. From quiet moments to wild dance floors, I want your photographs to bring you back to how your wedding actually felt. I believe a truly great wedding photographer can capture a wedding day beautifully with minimal interference. My ideal couple is one who wants to actually enjoy their wedding day without turning the day into a performance. Available throughout Charlotte, the Carolina's and all across the East Coast.

“We chose Brandon Pickett Photography and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, Brandon was responsive and thoughtful about planning our day, offering timeline recommendations that made everything run smoothly. His artistic eye captured genuine moments between us and our guests in a way that felt natural and unforced. When we saw our photos from our wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens, we were blown away—Brandon told the story of our wedding perfectly, from the big celebrations down to the quiet details we almost missed. His work is stunning, and he truly understood the vision we had for our day. We'd absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about both the craft and the experience.”

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 were thrilled with Sophia Osborne Photography for our wedding photos. Sophia was extremely professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day - she was organized, responsive, and helped us feel at ease. On the wedding day, she captured so many beautiful candid moments with her vibrant, creative style. The colors and lighting in both our portraits and reception photos are gorgeous and realistic. We were so excited when we got our sneak peek photos - they perfectly capture the joy and love from our special day. We can't wait to receive the full photo package and relive more memories.”
