Hi, I am Melanie Cooper. I am an intimate wedding and adventure elopement photographer based in Richmond, Virginia. I love everything about this amazing city. But most of all I love the people. Being a photographer has given me the opportunity to meet so many people in the area. Hopefully that will include you!

Would choose Melanie again and again. I actively recommend her to friends and acquaintances who say they’re engaged. She is super friendly, upbeat and good at her job. She blends in well and there are pictures that I don’t even remember her being there for. We had our photo shoot time, our candid time and I feel like she allowed the day to run how we wanted it to while also getting all the pictures we wanted.

A photographer is easily one of the most important vendors of a wedding day. Without the memories and the photos, it’s hard to just remember every little thing. Our photos and all the details are so beautiful and so lovingly captured. Erinne and her second shooter did an amazing job capturing everything and corralling my large family for portraits, as well as our wild bunch during dance time. I will forever treasure the images she captured and want to print them all if that tells you anything! It’s amazing how they captured so many moments during such a busy and quick day. She is such a sweet and kind human and does amazing work too. Thank you Erinne!

Momentous Memories Photography

  • Serves Ruther Glen, VA

Being behind the camera isn’t just about clicking a button and editing a photo and delivering it. It’s about making sure you capture each and every detail even if the couple doesn’t realize it. I’ve become passionate in what I do because I love the smiles that it puts on people’s faces and the happy tears that stream down their face when I deliver the most beautiful album that they get to hold on to for the rest of their lives. True love is real. Capturing my couples is like bringing a romance novel to life.

Marylyn, owner of Momentous Memories, has been my go-to girl for YEARS!! She never disappoints!! She knows just how to capture the most amazing moments and love between two people. Her photography is stunning and she creates such a fun environment to be in! My husband does not like having his picture taken, but she knew exactly how to get him to open up and pose for pictures. She was great at communicating throughout the pre-wedding process and ensuring that she knew how our day was going to go. Even though on our day it poured down rain, Marylyn worked her magic and created an album of the most breathtaking photos. I will always highly recommend her to anyone I know!

Piper has been a tremendous help in alleviating that stress, ensuring my products are showcased in a professional yet approachable way.

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

Never be afraid to stand out and be yourself, I love other photographers' work. I truly do. But I also love the ability to provide something different. Thank you to all that support me, Ralph Hattersley once said, "We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us".

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start? I knew the day I got engaged, who I wanted to do my wedding photography - Tiffany Hanlon. I had never talked or met her but her reputation and work spoke for themselves. She is one of the highly sought out photographers due to, not only her skill in this industry, but her passion, her creativity, and unique twist she puts on everything she captures. It’s truly magical to watch and experience. She helped me with every little detail and knew the ropes of this industry so well, I knew I was in good hands with her. From my bridal boudoir, to our engagement announcement, to our actual wedding, Tiffany did not drop the ball. If anything she blew our expectations out of the water. My wedding photos are now the one thing I love looking at everyday. All the memories captured so beautifully and it’s almost like they told the story of the night I knew I’d always hold Tiffany close after my wedding but little did I know how close she’d become to me. I couldn’t imagine working with or trusting anyone else capture and be apart of my beautiful moments and milestones. Over a year later, I received a text from Tiffany asking for my email…little did I know the surprise I was going to get. The thing about her is she truly pays attention to detail and what is important to you, for me, the most important thing was honoring my mom who passed in 2012. Tiff and her husband had found a way to take one of my favorite pics of mom and edit it into a photo of my husband and I. It’s absolutely perfect and brought the happiest tears to my eyes. She knew how much I missed mom and found a way to incorporate her even when she’s not physically here. That will forever be my favorite wedding gift. I could not imagine anyone else capturing my wedding and any major event to follow. Tiffany, you truly are one of a kind. Between your personality, passion, and talent, I’m so glad our paths crossed and can’t thank you enough for everything you do.

She fit right in with all of us, cracking jokes and all. She has such a great personality and will go the extra mile for “the shot”. Can’t recommend enough!!

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

I've known Beth with 3 Cats Photo for years and it was an honor to have her photograph our wedding. She made my wife and I's pinterest board dreams come to life in addition to taking pictures of all the tiny details we didn't even know we wanted until they existed. Beth is organized, kind, and so knowledgeable in addition to having a beautiful eye for the perfect moments and compositions to make every photo a work of art I want to frame on our wall. (Seriously, I've printed so many of our wedding pictures my wife jokes that I have constructed a shrine to our marriage - and she's not wrong, they're just so cute!).

MSMP Media was the perfect choice for our wedding. Beyond the fact that their editing style was what we were looking for with bright photos, their team was incredible. We had the pleasure of working with their West Michigan Team. Jordan was fantastic and even got me a small birthday gift because my wedding was on my birthday! It was small details like this that really made our experience so great. She was great at getting us ready for photos with great directions. None of the wedding party were huge "photo" people, but she made us feel comfortable to allow for such great photos. Her eye for shots was fantastic. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from everyone that we have shared them with! Beyond the photos themselves and the actual wedding day, Marisa had great communication. We received sneak peak photos within a day of the wedding and had the entire album less than a month out of the wedding. From what we have been told, this is a great timeline. We are so happy to have booked MSMP!

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). 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.

There are only good things to say about working with Maggie! We booked her for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding day. During the engagement session, she captured some true gems by helping us stay comfortable and true to ourselves. Leading up to our wedding day she was communicative, made sure she understood what our vision/priorities were, and worked well with our planner. On our wedding day, she was so fun to work with, got some beautiful shots of the big moments, and some incredible shots of little ones, too. Even just in our sneak peaks from our wedding, there are so many lovely candids amidst well-placed staged family/couple shots. She has great vision and good ideas and is fun to be around for the process! Regardless, her work speaks for itself. We highly recommend booking Maggie for your engagement and wedding photos!!
