Choosing Timeless Photo Video was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Steve (photographer) , Lia (videographer), Nancy and Kate (the coordinators) and the team were amazing to work with. They were punctual, professional, and had a great sense of humor, which made us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. We especially loved how they captured the candid moments and the emotions of the day. The video was edited beautifully, and the photos are breathtaking. We've received so many compliments from friends and family. Thank you, Timeless Photo Video, for giving us such precious memories to look back on!

Holly Johnston Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was fast, responsive, and professional. On the day of, Holly's laid-back and organized approach put us at ease, and the resulting photos were absolutely perfect. Holly was incredibly efficient, working seamlessly with my husband's limited patience for photos to capture hundreds of beautiful moments. When her second shooter didn't show up, Holly made sure I didn't have to worry, and she ensured I still had plenty of flawless photos. Holly was also refreshingly honest, refunding me for the missing second shooter on the day of the wedding. We couldn't be happier with the service and value provided by Holly Johnston Photography.

I'm a big big fan of love, laughter, and DIY taco bars. As a Virginia Wedding Photographer I am so excited to share this space with current and future clients because this work is where my passion lives. I have not only built a business over the past few years, but I've built the best family/ support system a girl could ask for. I love fun energy and a good adventure, so don't be afraid to step out of the cozy field look to climb that mountain or get a little dirty. I’m here to make your dreams come true, furry friends included. All that being said I am out here doing what I love and thats capturing all types of moments.

Jade is PHENOMENAL! I has switched to Jade from another photographer and it was the best decision we made! She’s so professional and easy going. We were super nervous about our engagement and the wedding but Jade always made us feel at ease. She’s great with directing us for poses (we had no idea what we were doing!).

Hi I’m Cassie Chisom and I’m the face behind the lens here at C. Chisom Photography. I’m a wife, dog mom, and mommy to the cutest little girl. I’ve always had a passion for photography, but only as a hobby! My husband gifted me a camera a few years ago and I started doing more photos for friends and just fell in love with taking photos! I now am a stay at home mom. My photography allows me to stay at home and it’s been such a blessing! I never imagined I would be able to be a stay at home mom, but here I am! I have a job I love & I’m able to give my little girl the best life!

Cassie was amazing to work with! She stepped in last minute when our original photographer canceled and I am so thankful she did! She made everything so easy and captured our wedding day perfectly! She worked well with everyone including our three year old flower girl and even our dog! I would definitely recommend C. Chisom Photography to anybody who is looking!

I have unofficially been the family photographer for years. Whether it be formals or family reunions, I’m usually the one behind the camera. The two things I value most are my family and our memories. What better way to engrain a memory than having it in a timeless photo? That leads me to where I am today! I am here to learn, grow and along the way help other people freeze their memories in time, as I do my own. When I’m not behind the camera or with my nose in a book, I am with my two fur babies; Sadie and Nash; my life partner and best friend, Isaiah; or my family. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to meet you soon!

James is absolutely amazing! We hired James a little over a year ago for our wedding! We were not getting married in our hometown so we decided to find someone in the town would get married in! We had our Engagement session with James last year in June in Roanoke Virginia. We were nervous before going, because sometimes the first session with a new photographer can be a little uncomfortable. Ours was FAR from it! We had the absolute best time! We laughed a lot and James was so fun to work with! Not to mention the pictures we got back from it were absolutely incredible. I could not recommend James more! Before our wedding James kept in touch and up to date with everything! This helped ease my anxiety before our big day. James arrived ahead of schedule on our wedding day and got started immediately! He is by far our favorite photographer that we have worked with and we will definitely be making trips to Roanoke in the future just to book sessions with him because yes we love him that much! We got our wedding pictures back and they are absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better! We highly recommend booking James! You will not be disappointed at all! He is simply the best!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We were so pleased with OLAS and glad we hired them for our wedding. By far one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They were prepared, communicative, and always available for questions. We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding. We were also so happy with the video quality - it was like watching a movie!

Zaida and her husband were incredible. I couldn’t ask for a better team to capture our big day! We discussed expectations and a shot list beforehand and they exceeded my expectations. The sneak peak arrived less than a week after the wedding and the final edits were delivered on time! Not only did they make both me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera, but by the end of the night they felt like family. If you’re debating which photographer to go with, Zaida is the one. Highly recommend!
