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 thrilled with Sophia Osborne Photography for our wedding photos. 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.

Lotus Photography

  • Serves McLean, VA

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I fell in love with capturing weddings in 2017 and I have been hooked ever since!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lotus Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Georgette showed a true empathy for our vision and provided thoughtful feedback to help us feel confident in our decisions. She was incredibly approachable and adaptable, always available for quick chats, texts, and emails. On our wedding day, Georgette was with us from start to finish, ensuring she captured every guest and all of our most intimate moments as a couple. The final photos are absolutely stunning - professional, artistic, timeless, and so authentically us. It's like reliving our special day every time we look through them, and we can't wait to have our favorites printed to hang up all over the house! If you're looking for a photographer who is full of life, energetic, and so much fun to be around, Lotus Photography is the perfect choice.

I'm a wedding and dog photographer based in the Northern Virginia/DC area with a focus on capturing fun, candid, colorful photos of the people and pups you love! I'm always willing to travel, especially back to my home state of New York.

Awarded Best of Zola
Deciding to hire Megan was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding day, and we can't recommend her enough! Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful, and are so colorful and cheerful and captured our day perfectly. She also did a phenomenal job with our engagement photos, capturing some stunning shots in Shenandoah at sunset. We initially found her after looking for a wedding photographer who was also good with dogs since our ceremony was going to prominently feature our best dog of honor, and from our initial conversation we knew she'd be a great match for us. We felt super comfortable working with her, and her tips and advice resulted in some absolutely fantastic pictures (and some super adorable ones of our pup!). We got a great mix of posed and candid shots, and she did such a great job of capturing the fun. She was also extremely communicative and so prepared for anything. The weather on our wedding day was tricky, and when the sun changed to a sudden downpour, she had clear umbrellas ready to go so that we could keep taking pictures! Our pictures are everything and more than I ever could have asked for, and hiring Megan was truly worth every penny!

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

Rob Jinks Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves McLean, VA

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

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

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!!

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!

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!

I have an absolute passion for capturing genuine moments and the magic of love that couples share when marrying the love of their life. I love capturing every detail, every special moment you share, stunning portraits of you and your partner-- All of it! My goal is to capture breathtaking photos that take you back in time when you see them in a storytelling & photo-journalistic way and in a vibrant & airy style. Images that will be treasured throughout the years, not only by you but the following generations to come.

Giuliana provided the flexibility I needed. Being a new mom and trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was more than insane. She was able to deal with my being bad at preplanning and need to change things up with little notice. I cannot express how appreciative I am of that! She’s very sweet and amazingly talented. My family was treated like people instead of clients and it made everything go so smoothly. Without her advice I would have been lost when it went to planning out the pictures. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!! Her prices are fair and she’s just an amazing person. Thank you for everything Giuliana! :)

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 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.

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!

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'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.
