From the moment we met Anthony, we knew we were going to have the best experience possible for our wedding day. He has such an amazing, vibrant personality and brought incredible energy to every moment of the day. He instantly made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made such a difference in both the experience and the final photos. Anthony truly has an eye for photography and knew exactly what shots to capture and where to capture them. He worked so naturally within our venue and hotel space, finding the perfect locations and lighting without us ever having to worry about a thing. Beyond being an incredible photographer, he also helped keep our timeline moving smoothly while still making sure my husband and I fully enjoyed every moment of our day. He was supportive, organized, calming, and genuinely so much fun to be around. He made sure to capture every shot I wanted and so many beautiful candid moments that I’ll treasure forever. Our videographer, Bogdan, was equally phenomenal. He worked seamlessly alongside Anthony the entire day, and together they truly felt like the perfect team. Bogdan was professional, calm, and incredibly attentive, always making sure every important moment was captured beautifully on video. He knew exactly what to do without ever making anything feel forced or overwhelming, and his calming presence made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. Timeless was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. They offer amazing packages with so many customizable add-ons, and their entire team is professional, flexible, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your wedding experience special. We recently received our final photos and videos, and I honestly cannot stop looking at them. I’m completely obsessed. Every photo and every video clip brings us right back to how perfect that day felt, and we are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully. I truly cannot recommend Timeless enough for your wedding day. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made.

I cannot rave about Becky more! We were extremely pleased with our engagement session and I didn't think I could be more impressed... until we got to the wedding day. Becky was amazing making sure to capture all of the details of the day from the start. She was the sole photographer, but she somehow managed to capture so many moments. My husband and I both made comments when we were going through the photos that we weren't sure how she managed to get all the shots she did, it was like she was in two places as once! Highly recommend Becky, and I hope to be able to work with her in the future for all of our family memories!

Awarded Best of Zola
MEGAN WAS AMAZING!!!! We cannot sing the praises of her and her team enough. 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 ;)

Hi, I’m Melinda! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer serving couples throughout Washington, DC, Virginia, Maryland, and beyond. My approach is romantic, joyful, and true to you, blending beautiful portraits with the genuine moments that make your story yours. I love capturing everything from thoughtfully planned details to quiet glances, happy tears, and laughter with the people you love most. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me with my family, walking my Vizsla, Maverick, golfing, traveling, or enjoying a cozy night at home. 🤍

Melinda photographed our engagement shoot. I chose Melinda because I was immediately drawn to her style of photography. She is patient, kind, and incredibly professional. She guided my now-husband and me through each pose and made sure we always felt comfortable. My husband is usually the most awkward person, especially around strangers, but he felt completely at ease in front of the camera thanks to Melinda. She created such a relaxed, effortless atmosphere that we almost forgot we were being photographed, so every kiss and smile felt genuine and natural. Thank you so much Melinda!

I cannot put into words how THANKFUL i am for Andreah capturing my engagement. While already in shock about my dreams coming to life, i am in shock at how amazing her photography skills are. These pictures are such a blessing to look at. She captured it perfectly. Thank you Andreah from the bottom of my heart! Andreah’s skill in person is unmatched. I am not comfortable in-front of the camera however with Andreah’s help, she made everything feel so natural. She made it a point to ask what photos/ poses we wanted, however she already guided us through everything we could have wanted. Her creativity, patience, and authenticity is so powerful in her photo taking and editing. In her editing, nothing is overdone. She was able to remove background objects to really create my Fiancé and I as the focus. Her creation of our photos really shows our love for one another. I could go on for days about Andreah and her craft, but my final words would be, 10000/10 recommend booking with her! She is so helpful and will help you create the best photos to reminisce on in the future. Thank you Andreah for being a huge part in our journey.

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 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.

I won't miss a thing, from the first kiss to the captivating laughs to the small, intimate moments that no one else sees.

I really struggled when picking a photographer because much of our wedding was happening indoors (early December wedding). I wanted gorgeous photography with a warm, cozy feel. Alysa’s photos here on Zola were the first I’d seen where I truly loved the style. I’m so glad we found her!!!! She gave us the cozy feel I was going for and she is the most pleasant person to work with! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She did both our engagement (and helped us select a location for that) and wedding. We highly recommend Alysa! She is spectacular and takes the most stunning photos!!!

We love Alexis!! From our very first Zoom call, we knew she was going to be our wedding photographer. She is so warm, welcoming, and genuine, and she made us feel completely comfortable from day one. Throughout the entire planning process, Alexis was incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful. She kept us on track, was always available to answer questions, and made what can be a stressful process feel so easy. Our engagement session only confirmed we had made the right choice. Alexis took the time to get to know us, making the photos feel natural and true to who we are.

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!

Hi, I'm Nathan. I don't just photograph weddings—I witness them. With a calm, steady presence and deep respect for what you hold sacred, I work without intrusion so you can stay fully present while your day unfolds. I'm drawn to the moments that often pass unnoticed: the breath before the aisle, light spilling through stained glass, a parent's quiet tears as vows are exchanged.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before the wedding, Nathan was attentive and details-oriented as he helped us plan and figure out what photos were the most important to us. He met with us over Zoom and in-person at the venue to walk through the day and provided countless suggestions and tips to make sure the photography and ceremony went smoothly. During the wedding, Nathan took both phenomenal posed photos and brilliant candids. He was a constant presence with a cameras holstered on each hip, like a cowboy with lenses instead of six-shooters. He worked quickly to get us a selection of social-media ready the same day, perfect to share with family across the world who couldn't make it. After the wedding, Nathan's editing and communication skills are top-notch. He even drove out (over an hour!) to take some photos of a sapphire ring of my new wife's - it's a family heirloom she wore during the wedding that she wanted additional photos of. When we tried to pay for these additional photos, he waved us off. Nathan truly went above and beyond the call of duty. In terms of quality, the photos he took are top-notch. We have fantastic posed photos, often with little touches he suggested in the moment to ensure we looked relaxed, smiling, and at our best. His candids are some of my favorite photos in the world and perfectly capture what was a perfect day. Nathan's humor, attention to detail, and devotion to getting every shot right make hiring him one of the best wedding decisions we made. I would heartily recommend hiring Nathan and plan on calling on him if we have photography needs in the future.

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Awarded Best of Zola
ABBY IS INCREDIBLE. I booked Abby after another photographer I had booked was no longer able to do the job. I was in such a funk and I was terrified to find someone new. Abby had such a great vibe from the start and her skills are clearly magic. She made us feel comfortable right from the start. We had a blast together at our engagement shoot and I felt so safe for my wedding that I didn’t even feel the need to give her specific “shots” just the overall vibes! She read me and my vibe and knocked it out of the park. She was not just my photographer on my wedding day, she was a friend! I’m so lucky to call her a friend now, even after our wedding! Booking Abby will be one thing you absolutely do not regret! DO IT!

If you're looking for an amazing photographer/Videographer in the DMV area, we highly recommend giving Alex a call.

I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

My business was in need of professional headshots and Sara did an amazing job! Her pricing is fair, she communicates in a timely manner, and she has a nice studio perfect for the photos I wanted. Not only did she take individual headshots, but she also took group shots of my team. Despite some of my employees being camera shy, Sara knew just how to get them out of their shell and direct them into taking the photos. I am very impressed by how Sara conducts her business and recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer!

I'm Raphael, founder of Raphi's Edits, a wedding photography business based in Northern Virginia serving couples throughout the greater DC area. I started this business in 2024 out of a deep love for storytelling. My style is moody and cinematic, built to capture the real emotion of your day: the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the way your partner looks at you during vows, the joy of a first dance surrounded by everyone you love. I believe a wedding day is one of life's most sacred milestones, and I approach every shoot with care, presence, and gratitude for being trusted to capture it.

Raphi's Edits made our wedding day feel effortless from start to finish. They stayed in touch throughout the planning process and responded to every question we had, which gave us peace of mind going in. On the day itself, they kept us relaxed and helped us shift plans on the fly without missing a beat. What really impressed us was how much they delivered—no limits on the number of photos, and the pricing was fair for the quality we received. Their work captures all the real moments that matter, and we couldn't ask for better photos to remember our day by.

Let's skip the business part and jump in, heads first, into being best friends?! I love connecting with people who are in love and value the essence of relationships, those big and small moments and everything in between. To live in the moment is my motto, allowing myself to be true to my feelings and always see the bright side of every experience. I've been photographing for 3 years and making friends along the way, creating memories that will withstand the test of time with a touch of art. Let's connect and make beautiful memories!?

Wow! Where to begin? Maria offered not only beautiful photography but also such a personal touch. Each photo taken at our wedding captured the true spirit of the day. She is a wonderful person and so easy to work with, as she can meld into any environment. Our personalities meshed so well together, and we had a blast taking pictures! Amazing for our engagement pics too! I couldn't ask for more :) Thank you so much, Maria!

We specialize in romantic imagery! Our edits are true to color with soothing warmth. Our style is a mix of editorial and documentary. We also offer videography and super 8 films! Having been in the business for years, we understand all that it takes to ensure the most seamless possible experiences for our couples!

I had a certain aesthetic and charm I wanted about our engagement photos. I found Laura and I was in love with how she captures special moments. I immediately reached out to her and she responded quickly and had a date available to take our engagement pictures. She sent me over any information I needed about the site and any permits that needed to be obtained. She made us feel comfortable especially my fiance who is camera shy. She does a great job of relaying instructions to make your photos look candid and not posed. She had the gallery delivered to us sooner than expected!! She is the absolute sweetest person ever and very funny!! I’m so excited for her to shoot my wedding.
