Ivy & Quartz Photography

Bethesda, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,750

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina is an amazing photographer, and also so lovely to work with. She really understood our style and approach to our wedding right away, and was so open to tailoring her photography services to our small wedding. She made my husband and I feel so at ease, and captured the most luminous moments of our family and friends. The photos really captured the happiness I felt in the room that day. I highly, highly recommend Ivy & Quartz for any wedding or event you may have.

Our engagement photos arrived so quickly and I couldn’t have been happier!

Washington, DC
  • Photojournalistic style

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.

It was such a wonderful experience to work with Anji and Pete for our wedding photography. We booked them pre-pandemic, and for well over a year, Anji and Pete would check in, were flexible with the changes we had to make, and thoughtful. In a time that could have been much more stressful, Anji and Pete were a bright spot. They were easy to work with, accommodating, and also, the photos...AMAZING. You will not be disappointed if you chose Potok for your wedding, or for any other milestone you want to document. I cannot wait to work with them again in the future for other events in our lives. Thank you Anji and Pete!!!

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

We are a passionate and creative husband and wife photography team who have a serious soft spot for documenting love stories. The big and little moments in life matter and we believe that everyone deserves to have photos that remind them of all the joy, tears, laughter, and adventure that surrounded them on the most momentous days in their life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lindsay and Greg were the first vendors my wife and I chose and booked for our wedding. I utilized their photography skills for my proposal to my wife and after that knew I had to have them for our wedding. When we finally set our date, Lindsay was our next call. She and Greg made us feel so comfortable and heard in terms of what we wanted for our photos and how we wanted our day to run. They were always down for the adventure we had envisioned, including waking up the next morning at sunrise to take beach photos in our wedding outfits. While we have only received a few sneak peaks, I know these photos will be exactly what we’ve wanted. Lindsay and Greg allow us to be fully ourselves and capture us in our most pure, comfortable form. One day we will start a family and I know who I’ll call for family pictures.

Darcy Troutman Photography

Arlington, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,400

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

As planning goes, I had a last-minute idea for a proposal in the Arlington area. I wanted to make the moment unforgettable and capture it forever. I reached out to Darcy from a web search and asked if it was possible for her to capture the moment with only 24 hours' notice. To my delight, she responded promptly and was an absolute joy to work with. The weather in the area was unpredictable, but Darcy reassured me with multiple options and provided beautiful examples of what we could do. She went above and beyond just being a photographer—she became my guide and planner, giving me invaluable advice and even helping me scout the perfect location. When the big moment came, she gave me clear instructions on where she would be and positioned herself perfectly so that I knew exactly when to pop the question. My now-fiancée was completely surprised, and our friends and family were blown away by the photos. They turned out so beautifully that people thought they were a staged reenactment because of how perfect they looked. Darcy captured the magic of our proposal in a way that exceeded all my expectations. Her dedication, creativity, and genuine care for making our moment special made all the difference. I highly recommend her for any photo needs in the area—she is truly a master of her craft and made our special moment even more memorable.

Based in the DMV, I travel often for weddings and stories in the mid-Atlantic and all over the world: I’ve photographed love from Delhi, India to Bloomington, Indiana, and everywhere in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have imagined a better photographer than Steph for our wedding day. I was originally drawn to Steph’s stunning photos that were bursting with true to life color and genuine emotion. Once I got to meet Steph I realized that she is just as wonderful as her photos! Steph is everything you want and need for your wedding day. She’s truly an expert of her craft - not just the photography but all the logistics that come with a wedding day. Steph made sure I got into my dress on time, kept the rest of our vendors on schedule, told me when I needed to reapply lipgloss, just all around making my life easier. In addition to her efficiency, Steph seemed as excited for our wedding day as our friends and family. She is the ultimate hype woman and brought so much joy and energy to our day! I knew when I saw Steph’s galleries that I loved how she captured candid, emotional photos that were full of real life. I didn’t realize how good that would feel the day of my wedding. Steph somehow allows you to be present and enjoying every moment while also capturing stunning photos that could’ve never been posed. I’ll be eternally grateful for Steph and the precious memories she captured.

Washington, DC

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
Natasha gave us more than just photographs, she gave us an exhilarating experience. She took us on a beautiful dance in and out of crowds through Union Station. Capturing the essence of our joy once my wife and I placed eyes on each other for our first look. Then taking us to Union Market to bring us and our friends together, capturing tender moments of joy and laughter. And finally, our wedding, where singing, dancing and love was reflected in every photo of not only my wife and I, but also those that were there to celebrate with us.

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.

Georgette took our engagement portraits in DC at sunrise and they are absolutely stunning images! Georgette’s energy and excitement about her work is truly infectious, and she made our shoot so enjoyable! We laughed the whole time and had so much FUN. Georgette did an awesome job of helping us find natural poses that photographed really well, while also embracing any spontaneous moments during the shoot (we love a jumping shot!) She captured our personalities so well. The images are absolutely stunning and bring back warm memories of our amazing experience capturing our engagement photos. :)

Growing up with a passion for skateboarding provided me with a creative view of the world around me.

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'm super outdoorsy, I love my hubby and my puppies... I believe in real connection and I think we must really like each other, because I'll be in your face all day, on your wedding day! Are you ready for it?

Erika is such an amazing, talented artist- her pictures are truly works of art! She is very responsive prior to the big day, which made my life easier as a bride. She is very easy to get along with and having her document our day was a blast! She also had a quick turnaround with her final edits! She is the best!

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

My interest in photography began at age 16 when my brother brought home a used Canon A1 from a pawn shop. My persistent attraction to the art of photography led me to the Savannah College of Art and Design where I received a BFA in Photography. I then ventured to Asheville, NC where I was surrounded by a creative community of artists and found a niche preserving timeless images of love-classics. Fast forward many years later, I now live in Washington D.C. which serves as my home base for my continuing adventures.

Theo = Many names beginning with the root “Theo-” derive from the Ancient Greek word Theos (Θεός), which means God; Many other names beginning with “Theo-” do not necessarily derive from Greek, but rather the old Germanic “theud”, meaning “people” or “folk”. (Source) -genic = produced by, formed from Theo + genic = Produced by God and the People

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
​My wife and I connected with Josh in September 2019. We reached out to him via email to inquire about his services as a wedding photographer. Josh was very professional and did a wonderful job answering all of our questions. We were so eager to book him as our wedding photographer that we had sent him our deposit before we even had our initial planning meeting. Josh was grateful for our confidence in him. It was important to him that we at least meet so we can make a decision to confirm or withdraw our deposit. We were so impressed with Josh’s work that it was an easy decision to book him as our wedding photographer. ​Working with Josh was an absolute dream! He is very detailed oriented and always accommodating with our requests. He provided fantastic recommendations on where to have our photo shoots. In May 2020, we had to reschedule our wedding to the following year due to COVID. Josh reassured us that he would be with us all the way and that we would figure it all out together. Our deposit would be carried over to the next year, and Josh had even offered us a free photo shoot. This truly shows that Josh cares about his clients and will go the extra mile for them. There were a number of times when my wife and I would meet up with Josh to have lunch together. We would talk about plans for upcoming photo shoots, discuss the wedding itinerary, and get to know each other more. We all share common interests, and we just hit it off from the very beginning. I knew right then and there that we didn’t just get a wonderful photographer for our wedding; we got a new friend for life. ​Josh did such a phenomenal capturing every part of our wedding day. From getting ready in the morning to the wedding reception, the pictures that Josh took were absolutely breath taking. His style is truly simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. Because of him, we have all these wonderful photos to look back on and remember for the rest of our lives. Later that evening, I remember Josh coming up to me to let me know that he was done for the night and was about to head home. I was so surprised how time went by so quickly that day! I joked around and said, “No, please don’t go!” Our wedding day is by far the best day of my life that I didn’t want that day to end. With his giving spirit, Josh had offered stay a bit longer for us. However, I wanted to abide by our contract, and my wife and I thanked him for all that he had done for us that day. I knew that we would be seeing each again in the future. This was just the start of something beautiful. ​For all of those searching for a wedding photographer, I highly recommend Josh. You will have the time of your life working with him, and the moments leading up to the wedding will be captured perfectly. Have confidence in him like we did, and you all may be onto something beautiful.

Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin is the photographer you want for your special events. Why choose anyone else?! Not only are the photos he captures perfect and beautiful, he is the greatest pleasure to be around for your special event (especially high energy/high stress events). He was the wedding photographer for my sister's wedding in California. He truly captured the imagery of each moment with clear visual direction along with his signature documentary-esque style. You can tell he treasures each moment while you're passing through it so you can reflect and experience it again and again later on through the photos. His genuine and kind personality shines throughout the entire process and he makes you feel at ease with jokes and great conversation. His website just a sneak peak to what you can expect when he comes to shoot your event!

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.

Our experience with OLAS was amazing from start to finish! Although we didn't work directly with the photographer until the day of the wedding (except for a zoom call where we got to meet her and talk about our vision), everyone on the team was super helpful and willing to answer any questions we had. I told Hannah (Event Planner for OLAS) over the phone that I thought they were some huge, conglomerate business because all of their emails and outreach seemed so put together and professional, so I was so surprised to hear that it was really just a small team of kick-a** women that are behind all of this. I love supporting female-owned and run businesses, and this truly seems to be one of the best. I wouldn't be surprised if they expanded a ton in the near future, so I am glad we got in when it was such a small and intimate team. You can tell they love what they do and really want to make your day special! Our photographer was also amazing on the wedding day, and even though we hadn't interacted with her too much before, she made us feel super comfortable the entire day and really seemed to love working for OLAS, which was great to see!

After getting to know us and our personalities she gave posing recommendations that made us both feel confident and showed the love and intimacy we share. A few memorable moments that show how much of a pro Kelsey is: 1. when we were inside dancing Kelsey spotted a gorgeous but fleeting peach sunset, she grabbed us and made the most of the moment. Those are some of our favorite photos! 2. My husband and I kept running off to mingle with our guests (a photographers nightmare, I’m sure) Kelsey managed to keep us on track and politely pull us away from our guests. In that way she really advocated for us and the package we purchased. We cherish our photos and plan to ask Kelsey to photograph our special moments in the future!

When not behind the camera or working on the computer, we enjoy cocktails, coffee, cats, and hiking with our toddler, Brooklyn.

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah Brookhart. From the day I started following her a few years ago, I knew I wanted to work with her, and the first time we talked, I knew I was right all those years ago! Sarah is the definition of expert. From the way she makes you feel like you can tackle the wedding planning process to feeling comfortable in front of the camera, she was crucial every step of the way. But now, the real reason she's incredible is her work. Her photography has a way of capturing moments I've never seen another photographer capture. She captures the real, raw love. Not staged moments. Almost every photo she delivered to us, from our engagement to our wedding, made me cry. And on the day of the wedding, she was an absolute dream to work with. She kept everyone organized and moving along and made sure I got the exact photos I wanted. She even spotted a rainbow outside and ran in to grab us for a quick photo. She is always thinking about her couples and putting them first, and it shows throughout the entire process. Her husband Ryan is also awesome, and was even our officiant! He was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and was a great buddy to the guys during the wedding day. And the best part, he knows when to get out of the photo for the first kiss: rockstar officiant! My husband and I can't recommend Sarah enough, and everyone that sees our photos asks who took them and we are SO excited to say SARAH BROOKHART! Seriously brides, if you want an amazing, reliable vendor that takes the most incredible and meaningful photos EVER, Sarah is your girl!

HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married 3 years ago and our venue gave us three choices of photographer . When I saw The Mannix Co photography I immediately knew this was the photographer I wanted. Then we had our consultation with Alli and I fell in love! Her energy, personality, and ability to read the couple is everything you wish for in a photographer. My favorite memory is during our engagement shoot she told us to whisper cereal name to each other is a sexy voice! The product of said recommendation was amazing! On our wedding day, she felt like family. Capturing all the tiny moments and the big ones as well. I loved how she became one with my guests and had fun doing so. I also truly appreciated the way she accommodated to the unexpected event we had at our wedding affecting some of our vendors timeline, but Alli made it work and truly helped erase the sour taste of said event ( if curious… we had someone experience a stroke at our wedding). Recently she posted “if your looking for a timeless gallery go stand alone bangers that could be individually framed…” then this is the photographer for you! We have countless stand alone banger in our home and not enough wall space to add more. It was hard to choose but such a great dilema to have! I highly recommend The Mannix Co! Reach out to her and fall in love as we did. There no harm in giving her a call!

I am so thankful that I found Nam’s photography business to capture our elopement ceremony. From the first consultation Nam was clearly excited to work with us and her passion for photography was readily apparent. She is very detail oriented and asked thoughtful questions leading up to the event which actually led us to do some additional planning to ensure that we would have pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you can’t tell by her website, Nam is so friendly and even though I am not comfortable in front of a camera, I felt completely at ease being photographed by her. We went into the shoot with zero ideas of what we wanted for photographs but that did not phase Nam, she came prepared with a lot of ideas and she did an amazing job directing us and making sure we got some unique and beautiful photos that really captured the beauty of our venue. I cannot recommend Nam enough - she made our elopement experience so special and in the end all of the photographs were absolutely stunning!

We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future.

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, our experience with Lee was nothing short of amazing!!! When we first met Lee in 2019, he welcomed us into his studio with open arms and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. It quickly became apparent that Lee valued his relationship with us and that, for him, to truly capture the essence of our special day he wanted to understand our unique relationship. We shared a glass of delicious wine and talked for over an hour, reviewed some of his work, shared our vision of our wedding, and shared important details of our story together. My wife and I felt so comfortable with him, like we were already friends, and not just another client. I still remember the way I felt walking out of his studio that day. We knew right then and there that he was special and the right choice for us. Fast forward to 2020 and the world had suddenly and drastically changed. My wife and I were forced to postpone our wedding until the following year (November 2021). The experience was painful and frustrating, forcing us to make adjustments and sacrifices that were not part of our original plans. Throughout that entire time, Lee was there for us. He checked in on us, he invited us to hang out, he showed that he really cared. Lee went above and beyond for us for our engagement photos and traveled quite a long distance to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When we had a small "backyard BBQ" wedding in October 2020 for our official marriage (we didn't want to wait another year), out of the goodness of his heart, Lee volunteered to come shoot our day and help capture those precious moments with close family and bridal party. And, at long last, on our big wedding day in November 2021, Lee delivered amazing photographs and an unforgettable experience beyond our highest expectations! He brings extensive experience to the table and we were so impressed with how deftly he moved and how efficiently he operated throughout our wedding day. Lee is kind, funny, reliable, gentle, generous, polite, professional, fair, and he takes amazing photographs! Lee, thank you for choosing us and making our lives better and our wedding day the best it possibly could have been.

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

We hired Pixbyjay to do my daughters wedding. He let us know right away that this was his first time shooting a wedding. He was very professional and easy to work with. Any special poses we wanted he made sure he did it plus some.
