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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Hiring Joy Mills Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, Joy was genuinely kind and patient with all of my questions—this was my first time working with a professional photographer and she made the whole process feel less daunting. On the day of the wedding, Joy stayed organized and was able pivot seamlessly, which was a huge help since I was stressed and running behind. She had a calm presence that really put me at ease, and her candid photo style captured all the real moments that made our day special. We couldn't be happier with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. We look forward to the wedding photos and hope to work with her again!”

  • 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!”

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!

“Booking Cat and her team as our wedding photographers was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made by far. I chose Cat because I loved her photography and editing style, but as we began to work with her, we also loved how organized, fun to be around, and instrumental in planning our wedding she was. Cat helped us build our timeline and even took it upon herself to reach out to our venue, hair, and makeup vendors to build our wedding day photography timeline. My husband and I feel so lucky that we were able to experience working with Cat, Danielle, and Ashley, so we definitely know how amazing and awesome the whole team is. Our engagement shoot with Cat was so much fun and she made us feel so comfortable in front of her camera. For our wedding, we were so lucky to have Danielle as our lead photographer and Ashley there assisting. Danielle and Ashley are so much fun, were a joy to be around, made everyone laugh, and made us all feel so comfortable. The two of them are seriously a dynamic duo! At the reception, every time I looked up, Danielle was right in my eyeline seeing if my husband or I needed anything. She definitely never missed a moment, and was always there somewhere capturing everything. What I love about their photography is how much it looks like us. We have so many photos of my husband and I just laughing together, being ourselves, and enjoying the day with our people. You can truly feel the happiness through the photos and that’s something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We literally ordered a digital picture frame because how are we supposed to choose only a few photos from our day to have in our home?? It was truly such a joy to work with Cat, Danielle, and Ashley. They remain one of the best choices we made for our wedding and I’ll be forever grateful for them.”

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.”

I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.”

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.

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.”
