The Pros does it slightly differently. They are in over 60 cities and they hook you up with a photographer for your day. We got matched with Hugh and we could not be happier. He did our engagement shoot as well so we got to know him before the wedding. The turnaround time for photos was crazy! We got our wedding photos back within 10 days and there is over 1k to choose from and they are all stunning. He got some really great shots of family members and ones I will cherish forever.

Eric from Wedding Alchemy truly blew us away! After booking, Eric checked in with us regularly throughout our two year engagement and always responded right away if any questions popped up. Eric shot our engagement session, and we loved the photos so much, we used them to make our wedding guestbook. On the actual wedding day, Eric was a calming presence and truly helped make our day feel special. He knew exactly how to guide us in photos so nothing felt posed or overdone. To say we are OBSESSED with our photos is an understatement. We couldn’t recommend Wedding Alchemy enough!!

Cesario Mendez Photography

Washington, DC
  • Photojournalistic style

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Beyond more than just the value and punctuality and just the professionalism I have ever received. I overall feel like I've known him beyond our time working together. Cesario checked in on us even beyond wedding stuff, checking on our mind set our spirit and relationship with me and my bride to be. Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day! We loved getting to work with you to bring our dream to life. We appreciate your help in creating unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. I never knew how nervous I would be but Cesario made it seamless and effortless as he saw our vision and combine his own vision he saw for us and made it reality. He Spent the previous months staying in contact with me and my fiancé, insuring our photo ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner etc was too our liking. He took his time in details of each position and lighting, switching between cameras and accessories, also picking locations around the venue that represented our love, spirit and energy. Cesario was prompt on time and even ensured everything else besides his duty to us went well (family members looked great, coordinated with Coordinator, venue decor etc.) he was awesome. This was the best day I ever had and loved it because it was made with care and to our specs we wanted, this review doesn't give it its full justice on the quality of the the of the services he provided even the small details he went into helping our day. The special moment he had with me right after the ceremony were I could gather my emotions and he helped me gather myself and take it all in, that is something I can’t explain and I will always thank him for. I really saw how he cared and took his time in making sure it was perfect. We felt like we had a family member with us the entire day guiding us rather than a hired stranger witch made it feel natural and easy. The Photos came out UNBELIEVABLE, you see how he perfected each pictures, the lighting, how he captured moments we didn’t even know were happening. H captured the Cocktail hour photos, flowers, cake, bar and so much more. We are still looking through the photos and trying to figure out what to print out and frame, so many to choose from. Thank you again for your time and efforts and I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to hire Cesario Mendez!! Hurry book him now!!

  • Starts at $3,600

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband Will and I got married in October and we planned everything together. Hands down, the easiest and best decision we made (besides going through with the marriage ;-)) was picking Chris as our photographer. He was so easy to work with from the get go. We set up a brief meeting, shared our vision (we wanted a "photojournalist approach"), and mapped out a schedule of events. Anything that we did not think to ask, he made sure to bring up and help make our vision more complete. Chris was excellent at capturing all of the tiny moments of the night without being in anyone's way. The pictures that he captured were absolutely STUNNING--the perfect amount of sentimental moments captured in beautiful lighting and silly off the cuff moments that captured the essence of each and every guest. We would work again with Chris in a heartbeat and friends have already requested his contact information for their ceremony. As an added bonus, because we did not end up using Chris for all of the allotted time, he offered to do a separate photoshoot whenever we would like. It's those little attention to details and customer service which make Chris stand out from the rest. Overall, Chris was kind, professional, quick to edit and publish photos, and an amazing photographer. You would not do wrong by hiring him!

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently had the pleasure of working with Sharon on our engagement photos and couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, Sharon was an absolute joy to work with. She was professional, and friendly, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire shoot. Sharon has an incredible eye for capturing the perfect shot. She listened to our ideas and preferences and also brought her own creative ideas to the table. The end result was a collection of stunning photos that truly captured the love and connection between my fiancée and me. What stood out to me the most was how much Sharon genuinely cared about getting the perfect shots. She took the time to ensure every detail was perfect, from the lighting to our poses. She was also incredibly patient and accommodating, even when we had to reschedule due to the weather. Overall, we can't recommend Sharon enough. If you're looking for a talented and dedicated photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your special moments, look no further. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories Sharon helped us create, and we will treasure these photos for years to come. Thank you, Sharon!

He was very communicative and set up a meeting to chat about the day and get a shot list a week before our wedding. He arrived early to our venue, took fantastic photos, and was so easy to deal with! All of our guests loved him; he was so great to work with. Additionally, he delivered our photos one week after—so prompt and beautifully shot. My husband and I can’t wait to work with Stefan again.

Natasha Lamalle Photography

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Photojournalistic style

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

When all of our wedding plans fell through because of COVID-19, we opted for a socially-distant micro wedding at a park. We somehow made it happen with just over 48hrs to plan! We knew we wanted a photographer to help us capture our special day, even if it didn't have all the bells and whistles, and were so lucky to have found Cassidy on such short notice. He was such a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly flexible (we changed our venue the night before the wedding) and very communicative. To top it off, our photos turned out so beautiful and made our adhoc wedding seem a bit more romantic and put together. He captured laughter and love! We loved his work and will recommend him to friends.

Our couples come from every walk of life and we love that they know they can be who they are with us!

You’ll sleep easy knowing you'll always be able to look back at your Wedding Day in bright, beautiful color when you receive your wedding photos in about 4-6 weeks.

Nicole and Jose of Bokeh Lane Photography are simply wonderful! So energetic and creative! They shot our engagement session and are slated to shoot our wedding whenever COVID allows for that. We wanted a photographer that has a great eye for candid shots and heard about these two from a friend who had their engagement and wedding shot by them. My friend’s pictures were beautiful, so I reached out to Nicole and Jose. They helped us with every step of the process, even with picking out outfits before the shoot. They’re kind and professional and just so easy to work with. I am not used to being in front of the camera, whereas my fiance is a natural in front of the camera. I told them that up front and they made sure to make me feel comfortable while just letting my fiance be himself, and the pictures came out so great! They are highly responsive as far as communication goes and prices are extremely reasonable for such high quality work. Highly highly recommend!

The Lauren Louise Collective

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!

The Lauren Louise Collective team has always been at the top of their game with professionalism and beautiful work. They are easy to work with, fun and it shows how much they truly love their job! Since meeting Lauren it has always been a team player attitude for anything and everything pertaining to couples and their day and it truly shows in the gorgeous imagery she captures. I have always said that Lauren has a way of capturing people at their best!

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

All I knew was that I was marrying my fiancé and that Sam was going to be our photographer. I didn’t care about anything else except that he was our photographer. The engagement session was so much fun! The day of the wedding was unbelievable. He’s so calm and professional. He answered all of my questions throughout the process quickly without getting frustrated. Lastly, his work is is just AMAZING! Highly recommend if you love bright colorful unique photos.

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!

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,500

Hi! I'm Katie, an East Coast & Destination Wedding Photographer, based in Washington D.C. After taking a high-school photography class–it quickly became clear that I loved the art of photography. Soon after graduating, I was offered an internship position near Chicago that allowed me to continue to dive into the world of studio lighting, image editing, and commercial photography; continuing to hone on the technical skills that often get left behind when you have the digital screen to instantly see your work. A few years later, I photographed a friends wedding and it became crystal clear that this was exactly what I wanted to pursue.

Oh my goodness! Kate Grace is the best wedding photographer in the game. I am SO glad we snagged her to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire process from booking to engagement shoot to COVID-19 wedding planning - Kate was there for us each step of the way. On my wedding day I was barely stressed because I knew Kate would capture every moment perfectly. She took every shot (and then some!!!) on my shot list and delivered THE MOST BEAUTIFUL gallery. Kate even worked with our videographer and sent them pictures for our wedding video. Kate is INCREDIBLE. Hire her. You WILL NOT regret it. As long as we are in the DC area, Kate is our photographer.

Hi - I'm Danielle. A wife. A mom to three wonderful children. A wedding photographer. I've been shooting weddings since 2010. 300++ weddings and counting. I love working with natural light, real moments, and images with energy and emotion. I would love the privilege of hearing your love story. If you'd like to inquire, please email or call to set up an interview.!

We booked Danielle for our engagement session and April 2024 wedding. Me and my husband aren't confident in front of the camera and at our engagement session, Danielle made us feel so comfortable. At that moment, we knew we made the right choice for our wedding day! Danielle was an integral part of our planning process - happily scheduling calls as needed to help us develop our timeline, narrow down locations for photos, and even providing us with a detailed timeline and checklists of things to bring for photos. On our wedding day, Danielle ensured that we remained on schedule with our timeline, capturing all the photos that we wanted and needed in a short timeframe. She made an effort to learn the names of our wedding party and family and provided everyone with guidance and feedback in a fun and engaging manner to make sure every photo turned out great! We recently got our sneak peeks back and were so thrilled with how they turned out. We're looking forward to seeing our full gallery soon! Danielle also provided a second shooter at no additional cost to us and he was absolutely fantastic as well! Chris handled getting ready photos of my husband and his groomsmen, making sure they stuck to the timeline, and getting them to where they needed to be - the hardest job of all. He was great to work with and captured beautiful images from different perspectives and angles that we wouldn't have gotten with just one photographer.

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 always knew that I wanted to work with Kristie when it came time for my wedding day because of a previous photo shoot I had with her for marketing purposes. Kristie was fun, personal, professional and most importantly she was an expert when it came to instructing my husband and I on how to pose for the camera to look our best. We could not have dreamed of a better photographer. She even referred us to an amazing videographer. We are so grateful to have had Kristie as one of our wedding vendors and highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the DC, MD or VA area.

She was so good at giving us direction that it felt natural and easy. It was clear she scoped out the area ahead of time too, with all the fun ideas she had and different spots we walked to.

What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

    Villa was undoubtedly the highlight of our wedding planning journey. I found her Instagram profile seven months before our big day, drawn in by the captivating vibes and style of her photos. Within just ten minutes of reaching out, Villa responded. Throughout the wedding, she seamlessly integrated herself into our celebration, becoming as integral a part as any guest. Her photos are nothing short of pure artistry. From the joyous to the tears, Villa's lens captured every details that beyond my expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend Villa to all future brides seeking not just a photographer, but a true artist to document their cherished moments.

That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

    As a DJ I work with many different photographers, yet there are a only a few who stick out as being great at what they do, Asa is one of them! He's super attentive to the details and also pays attention to the big picture which is very helpful at an event as dynamic as a wedding. You know someone is experienced when they show up early, relaxed and with a smile on their face, all signs of a true professional. As for his photos, well they are simply awesome!

They are so personable and fun that we knew they would fit right in at our wedding - and they did! They were with us during every moment from intimate to silly and they made us feel super comfortable as if we were being photographed by longtime friends. The best part? The love and happiness that we felt during our wedding day is felt in every single photo. They captured our wedding day so perfectly that when it came time to hire a photographer for maternity photos and family photo shoots - there was no question who we wanted (and those photos all turned out perfectly, too)!! They have our highest recommendation. Stop looking and hire them, now!

They were really open to trying out anything that we really wanted to do and brought plenty of experience and helpful ideas to the table from the start. Their ability to capture the tiny details and a much broader sweeping view of our day really was the sell for us. And they weren't afraid to really get into the middle of a rager and capture moments you'd have never known about otherwise. Photography is so embedded in capturing your day that having creative people you really enjoy working with is critical. Years later, Cicely and I still message each other to check in.

This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!
