When my husband and I started planning our wedding we were completely overwhelmed with all the decisions that needed to be made. For photos, we new we wanted a really natural style and wedding alchemy seemed like they could be a perfect fit.

I am a modern-day storyteller, wielding my camera as my pen to capture the tales that unfold before me.

The Lauren Louise Collective

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,500

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

Having a good photographer was one of my priorities for my wedding. I knew the day was going to be a whirlwind and I wanted to be able to look back and at least have one photo where my eyes weren’t closed or something. Lauren absolutely delivered — I don’t think we’ve ever looked as good in pictures and I know I probably won’t again!! Lauren also recommended Elizabeth for our day-of coordinator and I don’t know what we would have done without her — I definitely would have lost my mind, of that I’m sure. First, I can’t overstate the importance of finding a photographer with whom you have a good rapport — Lauren has this charisma where you instantly feel at ease and like you’ve known her your whole life. It frankly made me less nervous and I think that translates really well in the photos. She’s also a master of making you look the best in posed photos - giving little positioning directions that you look elegant without looking stiff. Every time I look at the pictures I’ll notice another candid moment that Lauren managed to capture or simply marvel at how she somehow can translate emotion in a still picture — I find myself smiling and definitely not crying (jk definitely crying) because you can FEEL what we were feeling in these photos. Second, get you a planner who is superhuman. Elizabeth took over six weeks (!) before the wedding and it was like a literal weight was lifted from my shoulders. At our first meeting she went through her checklist (and mine bc of course I had my own) and said “I’ll take care of it” to literally everything... and then...did?? I was fully prepared to have to follow up with vendors and micromanage but I basically didn’t have to do anything. It was magical. Elizabeth and her team did so much work and went above and beyond in literally every way to ensure we had a perfect day. Anyway, if you’re struggling with choosing a photographer because there are 72525 million to choose from, and you like the style of Lauren’s photos, go for it ASAP. Lauren is incredible and I feel so lucky that we were able to work with her. And if you need a day-of coordinator (or a full blown wedding planner!) pick Elizabeth - she has the eye for design and the capability to pull it off and pull it off well!

Hi there! Congratulations on your engagement! My name is Rhea and I'm here to make your wedding photos dreams come true! I believe being a wedding photographer is a ministry as not only am I by your side for most of the day, but I also get to meet some many of your closest family and friends and ensure that the images we curate together accurately show the joy and love shared on your big day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Not only is Rhea an amazing, highly talented Photographer, but she's such a sweet person, extremely helpful, and she was a true joy and ease to work with. I loved that she had a pre-wedding questionnaire to collect initial info and set-up a consultation to explain more about herself, the packages, and explain the process from booking up to the wedding day. Because of how organized and thoughtful she was (in addition to seeing her work on her website and on Instagram) in the consultation, I immediately decided to book her as my wedding day photographer. Rhea also did our engagement pictures and her high energy, yet gentle spirit helped to keep our spirits high on a cold January day! On the wedding day, Rhea and her second shooter were extremely professional and so pleasant to work with. Rhea helped to keep me calm when another vendor was running late and we still had time to get all of our pictures taken that we planned. Prior to selecting a photographer, many people told me the one thing they regretted was not investing in a quality photographer. Because of Rhea, I never have to look back at my wedding photos with regret. Each photo brings me joy whenever I look at it, as she and her second shooter captured the day perfectly!

Her communication is spectacular and timely and the quality of the photos is an 11 out of 10. Not to mention that our wedding was less than a week ago and we already have an album of GORGEOUS teaser photos! We can't wait to see the rest from the big day because we know that she and her second shooter captured so many special moments during the event. Thanks to Anne for capturing us and our joy so completely. And, if you are looking for someone kind, caring, and talented - look no further! Anne's the one.

Rudney Novaes Photography

Washington, DC
  • Classic style

Hi there, I'm Rudney Novaes — And I’ve been intrigued by photography since I was a boy. In youth I discovered a fascination with film when my Father left behind a vintage camera. I was amazed by the mechanics of the time-worn device, in awe of its capability to freeze moments in time. Today, I’m an editorial and wedding photographer capturing stories filled with feeling, and my love of light and film continues to shape my craft. I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge I’ve chased since childhood with aspiring creatives and seasoned professionals alike, and I believe wholeheartedly that there’s always more to learn from one another.

I knew I wanted Rudney to be my wedding photographer before I even had a date or venue. It was love at first sight with his work, and he never disappointed. Rudney was so easy to work with, he is flexible, dedicated, open to your ideas while also giving suggestions to make sure everything turns out perfect. The day of the wedding was effortless, I did not have to worry about what my photographer was doing because I trusted and was confident in Rudney's ability to deliver what I envisioned. His team of professionals were also the best! I will forever treasure my wedding photos, they came out so beautiful and perfectly captured my amazing day. Rudney's work is exquisite, he is truly a master in his art!

I'm Aimee, and I believe in wedding photos lasting forever and telling your story in a way that spans across generations.

Whatever it is, we want to capture and preserve the moments that make it special to you.

If you are considering working with Aimee, do not hesitate and book her now! Aimee exceeded our expectations in every way. She was an amazing communicator throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding can be stressful & can create a lot of anxiety, and her consistent timeliness with responses to emails and questions really stood out to us. On our wedding day specifically, Aimee was an extremely friendly, fun, and calming presence. She has a unique ability to "direct" and "make things happen" while keeping everyone engaged, happy, and stress-free. Aimee did a great job of “blending in” when taking photos, and was able to capture a lot of great candid photos of our day - there was never pressure from anyone in the room to “look at the photographer.” As someone who feels truly awkward when their photo is taken or when asked to pose for a photo, Aimee did a great job at making my husband & me feel comfortable & relaxed throughout our couples portrait shoot, and the photos turned out GREAT! Everyone at our wedding was raving about Aimee - there’s gotta be something more than 5 stars for people like her!

Verdandi Photography

Alexandria, VA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $8,000

Verdandi is the culmination of a lifelong obsession with storytelling through beautiful imagery. My photography style is free-spirited yet elegant. I draw on mid-century editorial art to create vintage-inspired images that capture the soul but are still classic and elegant. Those in front of the lens are more than just subjects to me. Human beings are never skin deep, and their photos never should be either. I value all the positivity that comes from each person I have met along the way and I cannot wait to meet you either! With years of experience in the wedding industry, you can trust Verdandi to turn your love story into a work of art.

Trina is such a gem, I was the photographer she (doing video) reached out ahead of the wedding and was very communicative as we worked out the timeline for the couple. She is highly competent, kind, and easy to work with. Highly recommend her for any couples in the DMV area looking for videography!

I found Annemarie on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her beautiful photos. She responded right away to my inquiry and was able to answer all my questions on an initial phone call. This was my first time using a professional photographer so I had some expectations but also didn't know what to fully expect. Annemarie set the bar here. Her photos are beautiful (hard to pick which ones to frame) but what stuck with me was how calm and on top of things she was the whole day. She made both my husband and I feel so comfortable (and he doesn't like having his photos taken) that I could not have imagined anyone else with us on our wedding day. If you are looking for a talented and trusted photographer who truly listens to you, I cannot recommend Annemarie enough.

Through my discovery of healing and finding love I realized that Photography was my passion and I wanted to capture special moments at all cost.

These are she spoke to me as she took photos of my day, best day ever! The term is so simple and endearing that it almost brought to tears several times. Her demeanor was so calming and gentle that I felt safe and happy with her not only documenting my day but just keeping focused and energized. I wasn't expecting this from my photographer. They are usually the people that hang in the background, but she was noticed and wonderful. I would and have recommended her to others.

Photography register moments for generations to come. It documents lives. It brings you back to the past. It reminds you of how you were feeling at the time those images were taken.

Olga Gurton is a Siberia-born photographer who has been working as a Maryland engagement photographer and wedding photographer for well over half a decade.

In addition to the remarkable honesty of her work, we’re rather taken with her careful composition, which uses soft light, clever yet subtle framing, and a focus on simple, elemental emotions.” Peerspace "9 best engagement photographers in Baltimore, MD"

Awarded Best of Zola
Warm and Beautiful Photos by an Incredible Photographer UPDATE (6/2/21): Olga continues to be incredible and everything we could have ever dreamed of in a wedding photographer. She also took care of finding us a second photographer (Marcus), a videographer (Glenn), and a live stream assistant (Matt) - all of whom were wonderful, professional, kind, and talented. We were able to do first look/couple photos around the Library of Congress and Supreme Court with Olga, Marcus, and Glenn and all three made it a fun and easy-going experience that resulted in truly stunning photos. After the wedding (and the "engagement shoot") Olga sent us a "sneak peak" of the photos within just a few days! We are so grateful we found her and could not recommend her and her team enough!!! ORIGINAL (7/12/20): Olga is AMAZING. We hired her for our wedding several months after we got engaged and were not intending to do an engagement shoot (my fiance does not love pictures haha). But after COVID forced us to postpone our wedding by 11 months, we decided that an engagement-style photo shoot on our would-be wedding date would be a great way to make a sweet memory on a tough date. Olga was sweet, supportive, and flexible as we figured out details for a new date and added the extra photo session. She is down to earth and made both of us feel immediately at ease during the session. She was as excited as we were to get gorgeous photos at the Lincoln and then silly ones at GW (where we both graduated from). I have always believed that engagement/wedding photos should radiate warmth and happiness and Olga has blown us away with her ability to capture our love in photos in a way that can't help but make you smile.

Chaya did our family photos. As you can imagine, it was chaos. We had 10 people in our home who came to meet our newborn. We wanted this special moment captured as this was the first grand baby. I remember sweating and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, but the whole time, Chaya remained so calm and concise. She kept saying "don't worry about the pictures or what people are doing, that's my job." She took that added pressure right off of my shoulders.

As a wedding photographer by passion & an aerospace engineer by day, I bring a unique perspective to my photography. I am incredibly detail-oriented, hardworking, & I truly believe everyone deserves quality photos to look back on of special moments in their life. My goal is to deliver luxury, editorial images that capture the true essence of your love story. I approach each wedding with a fresh perspective, knowing that every couple is unique & deserves to have their story told in a way that is true to them. So count on me to take charge when needed & when I'm not - to keep on authentically & artfully documenting your day.

As a wedding planner, I've had the pleasure of working with a myriad of photographers, and Jenn certainly stands out. Jenn's professionalism and communication skills are top-notch, making the collaboration process seamless and stress-free. She is highly responsive, consistently keeping me in the loop, which is extremely important to the running of a smooth event. The wedding we worked on together required a high-degree of flexibility, and Jenn was not only capable of handling last-minute changes, but she did so with grace and a positive attitude. And all this before we've even discussed her work. Jenn's photos were beautiful, elevated, and did a great service to every design vendor who participated. She turned around sneak peeks quickly, and even provided the venue with some footage for them to use in their marketing. Highly recommend Jenn for any couple looking for film-quality photos delivered with positivity and professionalism.

I lived in Mexico for 7 years only to find out I was unhappy living there! In 2008, my mom, grandma, and I moved to Connecticut, and I began a whole new chapter in my life! I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and everything will eventually fall into place with just a little bit of hope and optimism!

When you start wedding planning, it is so overwhelming to decide on vendors when there are so many available. But we are so happy we chose Amanda to be our wedding photographer! My husband and I had never had professional photos done, and when we had our engagement photo session, Amanda helped us become more comfortable and photographed us naturally, while also giving us suggestions for poses and actions so she could get some great shots. We saw our engagement photos and they were so beautiful, we were so excited to have her photograph our wedding! Throughout the process, Amanda was always fast to respond and answered any questions we had. She even guided us on our wedding timeline and was so helpful since she has photographed so many weddings. On the day of our wedding - she fit in with all our friends and family for the vibe of our wedding - fun, relaxed, and loving! We appreciated that she listened to everything we wanted for our wedding photos, but also made suggestions for things that she knew she could photograph amazingly! Now looking at our photographs, we are blown away by how beautiful they are and how she captured the day and us as a couple. Thank you so much to Amanda for capturing our best day ever!

When we look back at the best decisions we made for our wedding day, hiring Carol to be our photographer is easily top three. Her style is unmatched, and she can pivot seamlessly from classic bridal shots to incredible dance floor candids to moody nighttime energy. We hired Carol to photograph our engagement shoot, sangeet, and wedding/ceremony. In all of the photos she's taken showcasing our love story, the energy, love, and joy are so apparent.

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

Vanessa’s passion for everyone’s love story shines through from the moment you meet her. I’ve truly never met anyone that is as excited for someone else’s love and their love story. I believe this is what makes her so incredibly special and amazing at what she does. I wanted a warmer, boho vibe in our photos and we are absolutely obsessed with every moment, detail, and emotion captured during our special day. Vanessa’s professionalism and calming demeanor is also something that every wedding couple is lucky to have on their day. She used cues that make sense, wrangled our rowdy crowd with ease, and even had the littles ready for their red carpet debut in front of the camera. I can’t recommend Vanessa enough… I know I’ll be reaching out again for all of our special moments through life.

As a photographer, my job is to tell your love story the way that it unfolds. I believe in preserving the moment with artistry and authenticity. I want your photographs to be timeless and beautiful. From the big moments to the subtle details, I give each element equal attention and care. If it matters to you, it’s important to me, and that commitment will shine through in every image.

Kylie is truly an exceptional photographer! Collaborating with her was an absolute delight, starting from our initial consultation and culminating in the magic of our wedding day. Not only does she exude exceptional kindness and humor, but her mastery of photography shines through every step of the process. Kylie brings a vibrant and enjoyable personality to the forefront, elevating the overall experience. From our very first interaction to the actual wedding day, Kylie consistently made me feel at ease and provided invaluable guidance whenever I had questions. As someone who grapples with indecision, I was pleasantly surprised by Kylie's intuitive understanding of my preferences. Her profound knowledge of photography allowed her to effortlessly bring my vision to life. Moreover, Kylie not only entertained my wild ideas but also brought them to life on camera. For instance, my now husband and I are a bit unconventional, and we wanted to fully embrace our authentic selves during the photoshoot. This meant having our two spirited golden retrievers by our side, taking a spontaneous plunge into the pool fully clothed, and concluding our wedding night with a slip-and-slide exit. Kylie was enthusiastically on board throughout, and the ability to be our authentic selves with her was truly priceless. I wholeheartedly recommend Kylie to anyone currently planning their dream wedding. Her exceptional talent, genuine kindness, and ability to capture unique visions make her an indispensable asset to any special occasion.

Let's be real. Weddings are wonderful and powerful and amazing days, but they're also big balls of stress. The best advice I ever received was from a friend who said, "find the photographer who can capture the amazing intimate moments, but also the person who you'd want to be a fly on the wall for them." After all, you spend about as much time with your wedding photographer as you do with your new spouse. Bethany was perfect for us. She captured engagement photos so stunning, so authentic, that I wish we could get a new set every year for our family. She captured perfect (occasionally hilarious) moments at the wedding that I would have completely missed otherwise - the way a friend helped you relax by pressing down on your shoulders as you got ready, the way your cousins looked at each other during a wedding toast, the way the cabin looked, it was perfect. And she created an amazing, dramatic photo that took full advantage of the rainy weekend. She's also just fun to be with; despite the stress around us, she was ready with a little joke that helped put us at ease. I think she's one of the only photographers who really got "me" in photos - not the person I try to be, or the awkward person who is trying to smile in the photos, but the person I am. I couldn't recommend her more.

I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Awarded Best of Zola
What an incredibly talented and genuinely caring professional! My new husband and I had a truly amazing experience, from start to finish, while working with Sharon. We were so excited for her to photograph our wedding after getting our beautiful engagement photos back and she did not disappoint – far from it! Her communication with us over time eased much of my anxiety, as well, as we had the opportunity get to know each other more and design the perfect shot list for our big day. From getting ready early on to the conclusive reception send-off, her creative eye captured our love for one another and allowed our joy to shine through in every photo. She even got down in the grass herself, multiple times, to get that perfect angle. We were extremely impressed with the coordination and partnership between Sharon and her assistant photographer, and their efficient use of the time we had to take a long list of desired shots in between our ceremony and reception, as well. Take it from a naturally awkward and uncomfortable person – your photographer can make a giant difference on your wedding day. Finally, I must mention the fact that my husband’s mother passed away nearly three weeks after we were married, and upon learning of this, Sharon created an online gallery with some of the photos from our wedding that featured his mother in such a beautiful way. Being able to share some of these at her funeral and commemorate her joy from that day was invaluable and so appreciated. The two of us are so very grateful that Sharon came so highly recommended by our reception venue’s staff and would not have changed a single thing!

When looking for a photographer for our wedding, we wanted to find someone who could capture our emotions in the most natural way possible. We looked for someone who was willing to photograph our engagement session in the DMV, but travel for our wedding in the Smoky Mountains of TN. And above all, we wanted someone that would match our energy and give great vibes. Geneva was flexible, accommodating, professional, and very enjoyable to work with! Each time, the turn around on images was swift, and her work was beautiful! I recommend Geneva to anyone looking for amazing photos to cherish for years, whether you’re looking to wed in the DMV or travel domestically or internationally. She is amazing, and you won’t be disappointed!

I started working as a photographer because I'm passionate about helping people showcase who they are and what they have to offer. I work to remove myself from the equation and let my clients take the spotlight. It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

We have gotten sooo many compliments on the photos from Michael's photography!!! I can't stop looking at them over and over, and sharing with everyone. We are having a hard time choosing which to frame! We had such a great experience overall. The team took great attention to align our expectations, timeline and vision ahead of the wedding with multiple touch points. The team pre viewed the venue to ensure they were aware of the space. The day of the team came organized and enthusiastic. They had creative ideas for multiple spaces, for couples photos, wedding party, and even a great first look for my dad and I that brough us to tears! We had such a blast at the reception and the photographers were right in the mix having fun to capture every dance move! Before we were even back from our honeymoon the team had edited many photos for us to share! The full final product was delivered by timeline throughout the day and easily order format to share with friends and family! Thanks sooooo much for helping us remember the day perfectly! Sooo great!

We recently hired Peter to photograph our daughter's wedding, and he was truly fantastic! He was professional, punctual, and also extremely personable and fun--putting everyone at ease. Not only was our entire family impressed by Peter, but quite a few guests mentioned him and were highly complimentary as well. Peter's expertise and suggestions were invaluable when it came to capturing all the important photos we would not want to overlook. He also worked extremely hard getting those important candid shots that serve to freeze the memory of that special day. Not only did we get quality and professionalism and excellent service, but Cenzalli was more affordable than many others also. From start to finish Peter was amazing, and we would hire him again without question!

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mikkel was more than just our photographer, she was a partner to us for the wedding as a whole! We had a destination wedding on the new Disney cruise ship, the Wish, and while it was an amazing time there were definitely challenges to planning a destination wedding at a brand new venue that we couldn't see until the wedding trip itself. Mikkel has a strong network of contacts in the industry that kept her informed of the ship and logistics and she ended up being more helpful to us than our Disney wedding coordinator! She checked in multiple times throughout our wedding planning on photography things such as the timeline, but also helped in providing her opinion on things like the bridesmaid dresses, the locations for the first look, and was generally helpful with her wealth of knowledge of Disney Cruise Line weddings to bounce ideas off of. Her pictures were INCREDIBLE! The quality, coloring, angles, lighting, everything about them is absolutely perfect. But most importantly, she is such a warm and happy person to work with that we felt incredibly comfortable posing in front of her for hours on end! We also had the luxury of her husband helping us a bit too and they were such a team, working together in the hot Bahamian sun quickly and effectively without even needing to direct each other most of the time to maximize how many pictures we could get before the sweat ruined our dress/suit/hair! Another attribute of Mikkel's that's worth mentioning is her flexibility. We took pictures with her the days before and after our wedding in addition to the big day, and our plan and timeline for the full weekend was completely in flux due to the chaos of our venue. If that caused issues for Mikkel, we never knew as she was upbeat and positive and leaned into every challenge that came our way. Honestly I could go on and on about her, she's exactly who we needed for our wedding and I am so grateful that we found her. If you are considering Mikkel, stop thinking about it and just book her - you won't regret it!

When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

Growing up, my mom would take pictures of us on her Kodak. On Saturdays, we would go to the Wal-Mart, have them developed and organize the images into our albums. Throughout the years, we would look through those albums together and those moments are very core memories for my family and I. This is what I want to share with others. Each emotional interaction on a wedding day is an intricate fiber weaved together to create a wonderful story. And I want to share that gift with others - to relive and feel that warmth all over again.

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

I truly had the dream team with Ashley, Michelle, and Ashley on my wedding day. Communication is a huge thing for me when it came to planning the wedding and they always responded in a timely manner and worked with my husbands crazy schedule. On our wedding day Ashley was with the ladies and I during getting ready, while Michelle had to handle the guys, I say handle because they’re a handful especially once my dad is thrown into the mix. (You know the sos button on your phone… yeah my dad bumped that and the state cops showed up…. Oops.) but Michelle did amazing with them. We had a first look and then did our family photos and they did a wonderful job getting the kids attention (3 kids under 2). During our ceremony I had no idea they were even there, they really do just blend in to the scene. During cocktail hour Ashley took some precious photos of us with our son that I know I’ll cherish forever. They even took us out for some nighttime portraits before the left for the night. I highly recommend working with Ashley and her team !

During our first session she photographed us with our 6-month-old puppy who is very energetic she was very patient with him and was able to get great group shots of all of us.

Not only was his personality off the charts, his photography skills were also outstanding. He caught the sweetest moments between my husband and I as well as with our families. He captured details of the wedding that I would probably forget if we didn't have pictures (table settings, my nails, decorations etc) and the quality was stunning.

Since 2012, I have been creating authentic, organic images full of life and natural beauty. My passion is to capture the laughter, embraces, tears, and little moments occurring throughout your wedding day - I strive to create photographs that reflect the beauty that exists in the world around us, and provide something that each family would be proud to pass down from generation to generation.

Cat of SilverFire Photography has mastered her craft. She truly has an eye for photography and an artistry for capturing beautiful moments. We can’t stress how EASY and fun it was to work with her. Even after we spoke with her via zoom on our initial scouting phase for a photographer - my now husband and I instantly knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. She just has this genuine attitude towards things that is so infectious! We have lost count of the number of times people have said during and after our wedding how much they loved our photographer. We really appreciate how intuitive she is and her direction for poses was incredibly natural and endearing. She knows how to take the beautiful posed-photos as well as the candid b-rolls. We also booked the photo booth package and our guests loved it so much! It was such an honor to have her photograph our wedding. We also are thankful for her second shooter Jonathan who assisted in everything! The photos she gave were so beautiful. We were speechless and over the moon at these priceless forever moments she was able to capture. Seriously, you won’t regret having Cat/Silverfire be your official photographer. We’re beyond grateful, thank you for doing what you do. We wish you more success and you’ve made Alex and I forever happy with these photos, Cat!

I'm most known to produce warm and soulful images that feel timeless with capturing real emotion that is true to the world I see around me. I've spent over a decade perfecting my timeless and most noted use of vibrant color photographs. Photographing intimate weddings in the hills of Tuscany; to grand beach weddings overlooking the Riviera Maya beaches of Tulum, I'm honored to have photographed weddings of every proportion.

I'm so happy i hired Krystle as our wedding photographer. We got to meet beforehand when she was in California and took our engagement photos and it was like having a friend take our photos. She was an absolute delight to work with and helped put my husband (who hates taking photos) at ease. Our photos were beautiful and were even featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and Magnolia Rouge which was an lovely surprise. If in doubt, hire her! She is such a calming presence which helps on what can be a very stressful day. Wish we could do it all over again!

Hi my name is Josh Little. I am the lead photographer of Little Pics Photo & Film. We are a traveling wedding photography company based out of south Florida & Virginia. We want to capture your love story through photos that will last a lifetime. Moments are precious but fleeting, that’s why we say a Little Picture can capture a big moment.

Josh was able to photograph our small intimate wedding by Lake Anna, Virginia. His knowledge went above and beyond photography. In our pre-wedding meeting he was detail oriented and helped us iron out our schedule (we planned the wedding ourselves and we barely knew what we were doing). When I was getting ready for the ceremony and none of my sisters knew how to put the veil on, Josh was the one who put it on and had bobby pins handy to secure it in place. He made us feel so at ease when it came to posing and came up with creative ideas that included us in a canoe on the lake! My husband and I now have amazing pictures that capture the best memory of our lives. Thank you Josh!

Hi I'm Christian! I am a wife, and mother of four who loves any adventure with a passport involved. I am a huge travel junky who loves exploring new places, food, and culture. I fell in love with photography while traveling the world as a child. Years later, I tell the unqiue love stories of stylish, wanderlust couples, who are madly in love. I absolutely love photographing weddings and the relationships I build with the couples I serve. On wedding days you can catch me with two cameras on each hip making sure that every detail is captured.

I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Christian Nwuso Photography as her makeup artist for a client project. As a photographer, Christian proved her ability to be an asset to any client or project that she has worked on. Christian is diligent and extremely committed to her work. Her professionalism and organizational skills became apparent when we worked together due to an extremely tight schedule for the day. I witnessed how she was able to smooth out the “kinks” when scheduling delays occurred which allowed the day to run in a more efficient manner. Christian delivered proactive solutions in a highly stressful situation, which resulted in a positive response and work environment. Christian has demonstrated reliability, trustworthiness and has an excellent work ethic and passion for photography. I am constantly impressed with her dedication to her craft as well as her clients. I have witnessed her go above and beyond for them. In addition to these great qualities, Christian has displayed great enthusiasm and initiative; she has excellent people’s skills and has a very friendly and outgoing personality. I am sure that she will be a highly talented asset to any prospective client. Christian has an abundance of positive qualities and I respect her greatly. I felt honored to be asked to provide this recommendation and hope that the information that I provided helps to understand what an outstanding professional Christian Nwuso really is.
