My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly do not know where to begin or the words that will encapsulate how wonderful Jesslyn was at our September 2022 wedding. She was kind, patient, understanding and always followed our lead. The pictures I have from our wedding are genuinely the best photos I have ever seen of not only my now husband and I, but of all our loved ones. I especially appreciated that she took the time to take beautiful candid photos of our friends and family at the ceremony and reception. Not one guest was missed. Her skills are above top-tier, her personality is so warm and her photos...there are no words. Book Jesslyn, there is no one else like her.

Not only does he take beautiful photos (we have SO many favorites!), every step of the process was fun and absolutely perfect. He is very professional, accommodating, and incredibly detail-oriented, thoughtful and organized--perfect traits for a wedding photographer! Before coming to the wedding he went out of his way and asked if I was hungry or needed something from the store which was very considered. We truly couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day! We cannot thank and praise him enough, and we feel so lucky to have found him for our wedding. I would have a very hard time letting a friend of mine choose a different photographer.

NO RULES. JUST FUN. Wedding days are awesome. There’s you, the rad couple who has decided to take the big leap. And there’s the cake, the vows, the friends and family, the toasts and all the love. (Did I mention cake?) Even though weddings can be awesome, they can also be a bit overwhelming at times. With Awesomesauce Photography, you don’t have to do anything you don’t feel like doing. I want you to actually enjoy partying with your friends and eat the awesome meal you have meticulously chosen, not spend it taking portraits for hours. With me, there are no rules. Just fun.

From the moment we reached out, Linda was a dream to work with. She was honest, upfront, and clear about pricing and packages, and worked with us to create the right timeline for our wedding day. She was also incredibly warm and kind throughout. We initially chose Linda because we loved her portfolio of more candid, natural, and photojournalistic/documentary-style images. She brought that same vision to our wedding day, and captured incredible moments for us. During the day, she helped make sure everyone was where they needed to be. She felt like a part of our wedding party. She carried around heavy equipment on a very hot Virginia day in September, and it was very appreciated. She got every shot we had asked for in advance and suggested a few on the fly that became some of our favorites. She got us the photos back in a very timely manner, and it was easy to download and share them with friends and family. We would highly suggest working with Linda for any event and would love to work with her again if we have the opportunity. Working with Linda was a highlight of our wedding process.

I grew up as one of the youngest cousins in a big extended family, and holiday gatherings have always been a lively affair. At the dinner table I learned that my favorite part the season was hearing stories be told and watching my family laugh & cry. Since then I've been dedicated to helping others tell their stories, at first with my academic pursuits, and then with my love of cameras and the magic they can create.

    Megan was great! My fiancé planned a surprise proposal and worked with Megan ahead of time to make sure everything was in place. She blended in with the crowd and waited until he popped the question to jump up and take pictures--with two different cameras for the best quality! Most photographers charge her price for proposals but don't spend nearly as much time or energy in the day, and you normally walk a way with 10 pictures at most. With Megan, she spent a full hour with us, and we received nearly 100 edited pictures about a month later. (And we were given a handful the next day for announcing.) If you want the best bang for your buck, hire Megan!

    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.

    Cesar was the best option for my wife and I. From start to finish I was impressed by his professionalism, talent, and genuine care about what we ultimately wanted for photography. For the DMV area, his pricing and packages are the best when it comes to being affordable without losing quality. I am most thankful for the extra mile he was willing to go throughout this process. Unfortunately due to the heat and transportation, our wedding and groom cake were leaning/crooked on our big day. Cesar was kind enough to make photo edits of the cakes and completely straightened them! Now noone will ever remember the leaning tower of cake!

    Emie was friendly and fun to work with. Sometimes it's a little bit of a struggle to balance between the photographer and videographer, especially during the limited time we usually have allotted for the bridal party shoot; with Emie, this was extremely easy, and we got plenty of footage for our film. Even at a point in the day when we were getting footage of the bride and groom in the rain, we never felt too rushed. It was fun to share ideas and work with Emie throughout the day.

    We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

    My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

I've been creating wedding day memories for over a decade now. New Orleans. Chicago. Minneapolis. The PNW. NYC. We travel all over this country, and even internationally, when the right opportunity presents itself, documenting love stories for our amazing couples.

    J was so wonderful to work with and hang out with on our big day! He put the folks who dread photos at ease and helped us along, but also allowed us to be our natural selves. The moments he captured were so wonderful and we got our photos back so quickly. Communication is top notch. We couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding & will be keeping in touch - J is a great guy!

    Let's skip the business part and jump in, heads first, into being best friends?! I love connecting with people who are in love and value the essence of relationships, those big and small moments and everything in between. To live in the moment is my motto, allowing myself to be true to my feelings and always see the bright side of every experience. I've been photographing for 3 years and making friends along the way, creating memories that will withstand the test of time with a touch of art. Let's connect and make beautiful memories!?

    We hired Maria to photograph an engagement session & our wedding (ceremony reception). It's hard to know where to begin because she was so fantastic from start to finish. She was quick to respond and very organized, which made planning very easy. She also has such an open and easy way about her - we asked to do half the engagement shoot with our dog and the other half at a nearby but different location alone and she had no qualms whatsoever and we got some of the best photos of our family from it. My husband and I are strangers to professional photos (so bad at posing) but obviously didn't want that overly posed look - Maria was so great about directing us into poses that felt & looked very natura. Wedding day all of our guests thought she was absolutely lovely (because she is) and she captured such incredible photos, we are so blown away. Not sure how to wrap this up, but overall she is professional & organized, very kind and easy going - such a pleasant vibe to be around, and she genuinely wants to showcase you/your love and capture incredible moments. You'd be silly not to book her!!

    I love Victoria. I found her for my sister's wedding a few years ago and she was fantastic. When I got engaged she was the first and only person we asked to be our photographer. There was no one else we wanted. From the first phone call, to the end of the day her vibrant, effervescent and infectious personality made the whole experience stress free and so much fun! I didn't expect to laugh so much. The day was cold and snowy (April !!!!) and she still made the pictures a blast. She also helped with scheduling the day, and was no stranger to the dance floor. I'd get married again just to have her again.

    I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

    Kaitlyn was an incredible photographer to work with! We did 2 engagement photoshoot sessions with her, which were both so fun!! My husband was dreading the photography most, out of all parts of “wedding planning.” But Kaitlyn was able to make him feel relaxed and comfortable so that he actually enjoyed himself! And he actually loves the way he looks in the photos! (He usually hates having his photo taken and the way he photographs.) Kaitlyn was able to capture our silliness, laughter, and genuine happiness in the candid photos which is exactly the look and feel I was hoping for in our photos! (I’m personally not a fan of the stiff posed or moody photos.) Our second engagement shoot also included our dog, which was fantastic! Not only was Kaitlyn great to work with on wedding day and the 2 engagement shoots, she was also a great resource for planning the logistics and timeline of the wedding day. She had great input of the flow of the entire day, which was something I had completely overlooked. Most importantly, Kaitlyn was very professional the entire time. We also gave Kaitlyn the added task of photographing the flower girl nieces (ages 2 & 7 years) and the ring bearer nephew (age 5) who is on the Autism Spectrum. All 3 kiddos still talk months later about how they had so much fun at the wedding! And Kaitlyn was able to capture them all smiling! Photographing dogs and kids is always difficult to ask for, but the photos of our smiling nephew on our wedding day made the parents and grandparents cry tears of joy! It’s rare to catch this kid smiling! We loved working with Kaitlyn, and we can’t wait to do more photoshoots together in the future!

    A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

    Sam absolutely covered every single little detail of our wedding. It was great to see things we didn't even catch as the day went by. He assured us every step of the way. He caught all the candids we could have ever wanted and posed us like a pro when necessary. Probably the best at communication out of all our vendors and is still the person we come to with our new milestones. A maternity session is definitely going to be in the mix soon

I’ve been photographing weddings for ten years, so I know how to provide you with a stress-free experience that culminates with you receiving an album full of beautiful, romantic, whimsical images that stop you in your tracks and transport you back in time. Your wedding day will go by in a beautiful, euphoric blur. I’m here so you can relive it in slow motion.

    Sarah was my photographer for my wedding. She did an absolutely amazing job to the point where I feel giving her a five star rating doesn’t even begin to cover the work Sarah produced. She was so easy to work with, and went above and beyond what I could have asked for. She made me feel beyond gorgeous on my wedding day, and was so easy to work with. Sarah helped me more than my own wedding planner on my wedding day, when she wasn’t even asked to do anything other then take photos. I have worked with Sarah on other occasions such as a studio photo shoot as well, which once again her work went above and beyond what I expected. I will always recommend Sarah without hesitation as you cannot go wrong with her. Not only is she a wonderful photographer who produces great photos, but she is also an amazing human being!

Though Nashville is home base, I will travel almost anywhere, I regularly offer my services in various regions, including east Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. My journey with photography began at a young age, but it wasn't until college, during my first black and white film class, that I realized it was my true calling. Since then, my passion for photography has only deepened, and I've never looked back.

They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time.

    Hey! I'm Valerie. I spend most of my weekends as a creative Virginia wedding photographer, but I also shoot a ton of documentary lifestyle portraits and spend the weekdays photographing small-business marketing content for clients throughout Virginia and DC. I believe in honest portraiture, which basically means capturing YOU, your family, or your business in ways that legitimately feel real. I always want people to feel like they know you when they see an image. Forget the stereotypes of what it's supposed to be. Let's just make real images with real smiles in real situations in real places that matter.

    We loved having Valerie as our wedding photographer. Multiple people commented on how quick she was and we loved our photos. Valerie was communicative and professional. We could not recommend her more!

    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.

I love it because I love my people and I love this earth and I love connection and growing things and all I ever want to do is preserve it.

    Cecilia was our wedding photographer’s second shooter and we are so happy to have met her! My husband Earl was quite apprehensive about taking photos (he has about 2 smiles in him and then he’s over it!) but Cecilia hung out with the groom’s party before the ceremony and made all of the guy’s very comfortable and took some great candid photos! During pre-ceremony photos, in addition to taking photos, Cecilia was so kind and helped me with my train/veil when we were walking around the venue finding picture perfect spots! Thank you for making our wedding day so enjoyable, Cecilia!

    I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

    Hi, I'm Liz! I'm based in Lynchburg, VA. I moved here from Los Angeles where I studied Fashion Design and Merchandising. Photography has been a huge passion of mine since I was in middle school but one class in college that really sparked my interest again. When the Pandemic hit, I was 6 months pregnant and starting to realize that I didn't enjoy my job anymore. I was so tired of working 50-60 hours a week and realized the most important thing to me was to be there to raise my child. So, that was that and here I am.

    Could not have been more happy with how Elizabeth shot our wedding! She did our engagement session as well! Not only did the photos come out beautifully, but she was so kind and made us feel so comfortable. Could not recommend more!

I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

They are so personable, easy to work with and honestly just fun. They made the whole experience so comfortable and enjoyable. I also loved that they were down for anything! We were looking for photographers that could capture candid and natural moments, and they totally delivered. Our photos are the perfect reflection of our relationship and the love and happiness we felt on the day. I really appreciated how they were detailed-oriented and kept the day flowing. I didn’t have to worry about getting things done on time because they were so on top of it. Also, they went above and beyond in general. They always made sure that my hair looked good, that my dress was laying nicely, that people looked their best for the photos and that we were getting the shots we wanted. My bridal party and family commented on how great they were too! I get compliments nonstop about my photos and how beautifully they came out. I will recommend these guys until I’m blue in the face, they were worth every cent and I’m so grateful that we have these photos to cherish forever!

    Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

    I should begin this review with the fact that I am a very self conscious person—I rarely like looking at photos of myself and the photos I enjoy taking are goofy ones where I can lean into my more unique qualities. So when it came time to choose who would capture our wedding day (and our engagement photos before that!) I knew I needed someone I could trust and who could make me feel comfortable. I’m so thankful that Justin McCallum is out in the world providing that exact service. Not only does Justin have a truly unique eye capturing traditionally beautiful photographs but he can see beyond the traditional as well and find angles you never knew existed! All of our staged photos came out perfectly, but my favorites from the day were the candids he captured where he just allowed us to be ourselves enjoying the day—those photos were where the true magic was found. Me taking in all my loved ones at the reception. A high five between my now husband and I before entering dinner. My best friend wiping away some happy tears. There are too many specific snapshots to mention that I treasure as much as the day itself. In terms of personality and professionalism there’s no one like Justin: he has a way of making you feel at ease and sensing when you’re feeling self conscious or sensitive and knowing how to bring you back to Earth. He can make you laugh naturally, asks questions that refocus and recenter yourself and is just amazingly kind and considerate to everyone around you. There’s no barking orders from Justin—he keeps his cool under the most stressful of circumstances and just felt like one of the gang on the day. I can’t count how many of my friends and family came to me after the wedding and told me “Justin was AMAZING” because he made us ALL feel special and beautiful. One of my favorite moments of the day was as the sun had almost set Justin ran up to us and said “I need to borrow you!” and he took us outside to where the sky was an indescribable shade of red and orange and took a gorgeous silhouette of my husband and I before he lost the light. It’s maybe my favorite photo ever taken. So please, if you’re looking for a wedding photographer don’t just take my word for it, take the word of everyone who was present at our wedding who felt just as blessed to be documented by an artist as talented and a soul as kind as Justin McCallum.

    First of all, Ali was just an absolute delight to meet and work through this process with. She was accomodating, more than reasonable and really partnered with us to make our wedding photography go as smoothly as it ever could go (even after I accidentally hit her with my shoe on the dance floor )! We have only received the “sneak peeks” to date but they look so beautiful and we will be sure to come back and comment again once we recieve the final package! We HIGHLY recommend you reach out to Ali for any photography needs as she will definitely capture your event exquisitely as well as add to your event with her professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness. We couldn’t have done it without her… thank you, Ali!
