We loved working with Megan for our engagement and wedding photos. She was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process, and on top of that, is a cool, down to earth human being. If you pick Rust Manor House as your venue, Megan is a must. She knew all the best spots and our album turned out fantastic. We have so many beautiful photos to choose from! Out of all our vendors, Megan took the cake for her professionalism, organization and positivity. If we had to go through the planning process again, we'd go with Megan as our photographer 11 times out of 10. Thank you, Megan!!! Rachel and JP

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 27-year-old wedding photographer living between DC and San Francisco! 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 — vibrant, 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.

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. .

We absolutely loved working with Maria for our engagement and wedding photos! We knew from looking at her portfolio for the first time and after we connected over the phone that we’d found exactly the right person to capture our celebration. From in-person meetings to Zoom syncs, our partnership with Maria immediately felt comfortable and collaborative. Maria brought warmth and her expertise to the table, while we brought our personalities and our vision to capture the vibrance and energy of our wedding day. There are three main elements that I want to highlight from working together with Maria: 1. Our rainy day engagement shoot in Brooklyn - despite us being based in Brooklyn, NY and our wedding venue and Maria both being located in the greater Washington, DC area, Maria made her way up to NYC and graciously did an engagement shoot with us capturing shots in some of our favorite places around Brooklyn. At first we were a bit worried when we saw that rain was in the forecast for our shoot day, but Maria assured us that the rain would only add to the romanticism of the shoot and she was absolutely right and truly delivered great shots. Not only that, she was great at directing us and making us feel relaxed throughout the entire session. 2. Maria’s unique proposal for our wedding day shoot - we connected with Maria nine months prior to our wedding, but she’s a sought after photographer! She was already booked on our wedding date, so she suggested an alternative for us to still be able to leverage her services and her editorial eye: she would suggest another trusted photographer to take raw photos on the day of our wedding, while she would still own all of the planning, coordination, and editing of all of our wedding photos so our images still got the Rise & Roam treatment. 3. Our wedding photos - Maria was highly communicative and phenomenal at making sure she understood what we were looking for in our shots. She made sure that our day-of raw photographer was aligned with our vision as well. (Shoutout to Sarah Mattozzi for being such a great day-of photographer and for partnering with Maria on our unique photography setup! Loved working with Sarah!). Just a few days after our wedding, Maria sent us a bunch of preview photos from the shoot and we were immediately struck by how well they turned out. Once we got the full album drop, we were so happy with all the images!! Maria captured the spirit, energy, and fun that was such a core part of our wedding celebration! Overall, I would highly highly recommend Maria to capture your own special day because she did a phenomenal job on capturing our celebration!

Sydney was beyond excellent! She helped my husband and I pose, directed us on which shots would look best and did a great job keeping us on track for our timeline! She captured the moments where true emotion showed through and was able to get my sneak peak pictures to me within a couple days. Which I know was difficult with how much goes into editing, so that alone speaks to her work ethic not behind the camera! I have so many wonderful things to say about her I’m not sure it will all fit! She’s overall an easy going person to get along with and had a great time with us, we are even looking into doing another shoot with her in the future! Overall 100/10 book her if you haven’t already!

She not only produced the most amazing photos, but she helped us throughout the entire wedding planning process. The first time we met with Victoria, she helped us create our wedding timeline and walk through exactly how we wanted our wedding captured. All of the advice she gave from her wedding experience was such a big help. Victoria did an amazing job rallying the troops for photos calmly and professionally. She made taking photos so natural and comfortable for 2 people who aren't typically in front of the camera. My husband and I are so excited to have her amazing photos to look back at that perfectly captured our wedding!!

Hi there! I’m Nathan Sottung (pronounced “saw-tongue”—ask me about its Norse mythological roots!). Since 2020, I’ve been blending my technical expertise with a calming presence to help couples feel relaxed, authentic, and truly themselves on their wedding day. With nearly 100 weddings captured, I’ve had the joy of preserving unique love stories through genuine, heartfelt moments. Let’s make your day unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
I would give 10 stars if that were possible! Nathan is incredible! From when we first reached out to even now, a month after our wedding. He is so friendly and warm, it is easy to feel comfortable around him. Feeling comfortable is so important since most of us aren't used to people taking so many pictures of us. He was helpful in picking a place to do our engagement photos and was great about getting us to pose or do goofy things that resulted in the most beautiful photos that I could truly feel how we felt in the moment when looking at the photos. On the day of our wedding, he was even more amazing, we were an hour behind schedule (my fault) and he kept his cool which in turn helped me to also remain calm. He was great at pivoting at a moment's notice when I changed the location of first look photos in order to save time. He was great at offering ways we could still get those photos in that location if we wanted to take the time to do it. He went above and beyond getting candid shots I asked for. The amazing thing is that my photos from my wedding truly feel like a portal back into the day, I look at the pictures and all the emotions of joy and love come flooding back. He is a true artist. The best part was we got a bunch of preview photos the day after our wedding!! Unheard of! And then he had the full gallery of photos only 3 weeks later, also unheard of! He does a great job capturing and editing photos. He also time and time again went above and beyond like an additional engagement session when we missed some shots we had wanted to get or an additional session in our wedding attire to capture additional portraits. He also asked if there were photos that we thought were missing from the gallery and went back through the thousands of photos to find ones we were asking about. I cannot recommend Nathan enough, our day would not have been the same without him, and it never would have been captured in such a perfect way.

  • Serves Dumfries, 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.

Rob did an amazing job. The guests loved him and he really got some amazing shots. He got down on the ground, climbed fences, and ran all over the place to get the shot when we thought of it. He make everyone comfortable and really make sure to get those shots during the wedding with dancing and fun

My husband and I couldn't have possibly asked for a better photographer for our wedding and engagement photos than Sarah! We had so much fun during our engagement shoot in 2023, and we knew then that we'd found the perfect photographer for our big day. She made us feel so comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. Our timeline didn't go according to plan on wedding day, and Sarah was so accommodating and flexible. She helped me to stay calm, which is hard to do as the bride on your wedding day! She sent us some sneak peak pictures and they are seriously magazine worthy; we are obsessed! Utilizing Sarah's photography services for your wedding will be the best decision you make. 10/10 recommend!

Becky was such a pleasure to work with. With little guidance, she captured the most beautiful pictures of our wedding ceremony, family, and candid shots on our wedding day. She was very reliable and on time; I had no concerns or stress about our pictures having Becky there. And I could not be happier—there are so many gorgeous shots that I have difficulty picking just a few favorites! For our engagement pictures, she was so flexible when coming into DC and helping manage our dogs while taking photos. With just a few images for inspiration, she directed our poses and moved us to several locations to ensure we captured everything we wanted. My husband and I are the worst picture takers, but she made everything easy and comfortable. I would recommend Becky tenfold! We can't wait to use her services again!

Kelsey Cuervo photography began out of a love of art and a proclivity to create, and evolved into a passion for capturing genuine connection in an artful way. I approach my clients with a desire to capture their genuine connection using their love story as my source of inspiration.

There is nobody we would have rather had with us throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Judging from her other work, we knew that we would be getting a stunning final product, but what you can't see in her pictures online is how friendly she is, how comfortable she makes you feel behind the camera (I was particularly nervous our first go around for the engagement shoot), and how well she directs and manages people to create her magic. Now for the product! My wife and I sat down together when Kelsey sent us the final photos and it genuinely took us back to our wedding day. She captured both the emotion and the beauty of it all so well, and we now have these pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. We feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and friend.

Stephanie Leigh Photography & Design is boutique photography studio based in lovely Loudoun County Virginia. Focusing on photography & videography services specializing in weddings, micro weddings, elopements & engagements.

Stephanie was probably our favorite person to work with for our wedding. She is fun, personable, confident and an amazing photographer. We found her through Visit Loudoun, a group that helps connect vendors to engaged couples. Upon our first meeting with her, she was a clear contender, and we couldn't be happier to have chosen to work with her! We actually found out shortly before our first meeting that my now-husband's sister had also booked Stephanie for HER wedding 6 months before ours. We made it clear from the beginning of our conversations that we were two very different couples and wanted to make sure that our pictures would not look the same/similar in comparison to one another. Stephanie understood this fully and was not put off by this at all. We were excited to book the videographer package with her and even were able to add in an extra hour last minute when our timeline was finalized and we wanted to make sure she got pictures of all the fun things we had planned! Stephanie got our pictures and videos to us very quickly and was very easy to work with and quick on edits of photos that we requested as well. I keep referring to the pictures of our wedding party as our magazine spread. The colors look amazing and every photo is just so BEAUTIFUL!

PAPERBOYS 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,995
  • Serves Dumfries, VA

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Hiring Nate with the Paperboys team might have been the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I are (very picky) creatives by nature and trade so we knew that we wanted to be very intentional about our choice of photographer for our special day. Our venue was a historic hotel that requires you to work with one of their select partners, something we initially were a little hesitant about due to its inherent limitations. Most partners listed had very technically beautiful photos but nothing that excited us creatively. Until we saw their most recent partner addition: Paperboys. We loved the playfulness, talent, and imagination that was deeply valued with the team and quickly connected with our photographer Nate both creatively and socially. It was apparent that he truly loved his craft and was easy to communicate our vision with, always making sure to ask helpful questions and take the time to study our provided resource materials. Without prompting or extra charge, he also opted to bring his own film camera to snap some artsy film shots on the actual day, an above and beyond move that shows how much he genuinely just loves what he does. The finished photos absolutely exceeded expectations. His signature style we loved shone through while also managing to capture the exact essence of what we were hoping for stylistically. And as someone who specifically struggles with body confidence and anxiety, he was able to make me feel safe by providing a calm presence and plenty of posing guidance. This allowed me to truly just exist and enjoy the day, which is something I genuinely wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to manage, and therefore the most wonderful gift in and of itself. TLDR: Just hire Paperboys already and thank me later! You’re welcome.

Hustle, hustle, hustle is my mantra. I've had people tell me I'm a talented photographer (which is very lovely), but I don't believe in it. Photography is a blend of technique and creativity, and both require a ton of work and practice. I've been very fortunate to study and learn from some incredible photographers. I put that knowledge and effort into every wedding I shoot. My clients mean a lot to me, and I love capturing their magic.

Amanda Gilley Photography is a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Haymarket, VA. With over 17 years of professional experience, I have crafted a photographic style that blends lifestyle portraiture with a documentary approach to create beautiful, honest, and timeless images. I work hard to capture the big moments, small details, and the essence of your day, with a strong focus on people and emotions. This ensures you can fully enjoy your celebration while I document the unique, heartfelt, and often unexpected moments that make your wedding truly special.

My husband and I met Amanda by accident and it was the best accident to ever happen. Amanda did our engagement photos and we enjoyed her and loved her work we asked her to travel to NH for our wedding; which she gladly did at a very reasonable travel cost. Her professionalism is well above par and her clam nature put me at ease, when I was nervous about being in front of the camera. She is extremely responsive and flexible and I even had a couple of “teaser” photos in my e-mail the very next day. I couldn’t be happier. We have used her for every photoshoot since then including a boudoir.

I am a full service wedding photographer. My approach to wedding photography focuses on the emotion of the event. That is what fascinates and moves me, that is what draws me to photography. I always do an engagement shoot with my couples, I think it is important to get to know each other before the wedding day, and it helps me to understand you as a couple. I like to get together at least once to just talk as well, the better you know me, the easier it will be for you to relax and focus on your wedding when I am looking at you the whole time.

The way he sees light through his camera and captures a once in a lifetime special moment lives forever in the images produced. We are forever greatful in the moment we shared that now has become a lifetime and generation of memories. From the bride: the pictures captured told the story of what took place on preparation before I walked down the aisle. We are a happy couple who are so blessed to do business with Paul. Paul is blessed with a special gift and makes you feel very comfortable. He builds a relationship with his clients. Paul gave us a scenario. We did our thing and he did his. During COVID he is understanding and flexible. We wish him nothing but the best!

I'm Caty-Scarlett! Owner and crazy woman of Love and Lore Photography. I document love through a documentary driven perception and I would define myself as a wedding photo historian. I shoot lovers particularly in Virginia and across New England. Take me anywhere! Some places that are close to home are Dalton, Ohio. Boston and Provincetown, Massachusetts. Not to mention Shenandoah National Park and Coalton, WV.

Caty-Scarlett (and her second shooter, Sean) were an ABSOLUTE JOY to work with for our Shenandoah wedding! She jumped right into our vision and took the time to actually get to know us as a couple and the style we were looking for (documentary-esque/non-staged/natural). Clear, honest communication and incredibly helpful throughout the process on a very compressed timeline. She captured our family and friends emotions so beautifully over the course of our long weekend celebration and truly created pictures that we constantly reference. Attentive to the details, flexible and didn't pressure us, even took the time to remember our immediate family's names for group shots. Outstanding human being, we can't wait for our next adventure shoot!

I’m a Christian wedding and lifestyle photographer on a mission to capture the intimate moments of your life and tell your unique story through the art of photography. I wholeheartedly believe in the sacredness of marriage, in telling a story and connecting with loved ones through photography. Your day, your sacrament and your story are the moments that, when captured, become a testament to your journey together. Accompanied by coffee, Jesus and excited squeals, I’m here to help you feel comfortable and bring out your authentic selves so that your photos will tell of your story for years to come.

Kara has been an amazing photographer to work with! Her style of bright photos truly captured the joy we felt all day during our wedding. Our engagement session with her made us feel comfortable and confident in how to pose, making the wedding day even smoother. Seeing even just the sneak peeks of the photos she captured made us realize she was able to photograph so many beautiful moments, even when we didn't know she was there! We absolutely love them and are so grateful that she was also able to capture the beauty and solemntiy of our wedding Mass in the most perfect ways.

Hi friend, thanks for stopping in! Here's a little bit about me: ✿ My name is Else, pronounced el-suh *insert puns about the movie Frozen here* I was named after my great-grandmother Else who was from Norway. ✽ The two most important things about me: I am a wife to James + a mom to Sophie Grace. ❁ The beach is my happiest place on earth. I have always lived by the water and can't imagine living anywhere else. ✽ Enneagram 2w3.I love helping the people I love + making others feel loved. ❁ My other favorite things: Jesus, collecting seashells, tacos, sunshine, nontoxic living, Gilmore Girls, Target, interior design, + glowy sunsets.

Working with Else was a dream! She took such care to capture each moment, big or small, to help us tell the story of our day. She also made us and all our family/friends feel so comfortable in front of the camera and it shows in each and every photo. If you're looking for a photographer who is intuitive, caring, detail-oriented, and passionate about her craft, then look no further!
