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.

There are no amount of words to be able to explain how much I enjoyed working with Morgan for our wedding! Long story short, 6 weeks out we were suddenly in need of a new photographer & videographer. I frantically posted in a wedding facebook group & Morgan was recommended. Having to find a new photographer & finding Morgan was a huge blessing in disguise. From our first call, she made me feel at ease with her not only capturing our love story but also as an asset to help things run smoothly on our big day! Though we met Morgan for the first time on our wedding day, she immediately made us feel comfortable. She is so fun and kind but also knows how to take charge when needed! She is extremely organized & did a great job capturing the photos I wanted based on inspiration photos. Our bridal party had so much fun taking photos which says a lot if you've ever been a part of one. My hubby even enjoyed taking photos which he hates to do! Her second shooter, Hannah, was super sweet, a great help, and added amazing ideas & photos. Morgan gave us so many beautiful photos that we will cherish forever! I seriously can't recommend Morgan enough!!

This review is long overdue. Geneva was our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos in 2024. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Geneva for both our engagement and wedding photography, and we truly couldn’t be happier.

Alex is a phenomenal photographer. We found him by luck online, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. Planning the details of a wedding can get very stressful. Alex did various check ups throughout the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, whether that be a zoom call, phone call, or text. This helped us stay on track with planning. On top of that, his questionnaire was very thorough and detailed. He really got to know my husband and I, and with the questionnaire he was able to capture what we wanted. Our wedding day did not go exactly as planned. It was a bit chaotic, and we were a little behind on our timeline. Alex was able to adapt and be flexible, but made sure to keep us on schedule. He went above and beyond with his customer service, and if my husband and I were to pick one of our vendors we were happiest with, Alex would be it. His photos and videos were well received by all our family and we are grateful that we have those physical memories to cherish.

He has such a great collaborative process that ensures the photos are a reflection of you. I have now worked with him several times and each time I am blown away by his kindness and warmth. From carrying your grandma’s bag to her chair to making your toddler feel comfortable enough to smile, Nathan goes out of his way to exceed your expectations. He has a natural talent for knowing when to push, getting you to try a new pose or finding a interesting locations or situations. He can expand your comfort zone while still making you feel calm and confident. He was the easiest vender that I worked with at my wedding, always attempting to make life a little easier and our wedding day as stress free as possible. Four years later I still love looking back at our wedding photos and how happy that day was. I was pleasantly surprised to see he capture some of the small moments throughout the day that have become my most cherished memories.

  • Serves Waterford, VA

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

When my husband and I began looking for photographers, we looked at many different photographers portfolios and Rob’s stuck out the most. The way he was able to capture couples weddings from start to finish in such a way that told the story was truly amazing. When we spoke with Rob and found out his pricing, my husband and I were a bit hesitant to spend so much on a wedding photographer, but I can say without a doubt that out of every vendor we booked for our wedding, Rob is the one who was worth every single penny. He truly was able to capture our wedding day in a way that brought us tears of joy. If we had to do our entire wedding over again he’d be the first on our list to book! From talking before the booking process to the photo reveal, it was such a smooth process and he made the whole thing feel magical. If you can, book Rob because he will absolutely do what you want and more!

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

Lavender Sage Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, Laura & Alex felt like old friends - their fun, friendly communication style put us at ease and made the whole process so enjoyable from our engagement session to throughout the stress of the wedding day. In the bridal suite, Laura even became my sense of comfort. Their top-tier work captured all the classic, beautiful, and heartfelt moments of our special day. The details we didn’t even think of, they were there to make sure they were captured in the most artistic way. They hyped us up and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, ensuring to capture the love we share. It truly felt like they were part of our wedding celebration, not just vendors. I even consider them friends now! We are thrilled with the stunning photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

I had Andreah take photos of my husband and I and will cherish them forever! We had such a fun time and going into a photoshoot you get a little skeptical on how it would go but Andreah was BEYOND amazing and made us feel so comfortable and confident! You can even tell in the photos and truly did amazing on editing them, too!!! I would suggest her to anyone that needs some photos!!!
