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.

Oh how we absolutely love Ivy & Quartz Photography! Nina is extremely talented, professional, and so kind! From our engagement shoot to the day of our wedding, Nina made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. She captured so many beautiful photos of us as a couple, ones of our families and our friends, which we will cherish for a lifetime! We highly recommend her for any and all photo ops! We look forward to booking Nina again in the future!

Cesario Mendez Photography

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Cesario to photograph our mostly DIY wedding, and he was a blast to work with! From finding a ton of cool shots to show off our unique venue to meticulously documenting the work our families put into decorating, he did everything we asked and more. After the ceremony and the staged photos Cesario fit right into the party, and got some amazing photos from the dance floor. The creativity and style he puts into his work cannot be overstated, and he delivered some photos we will treasure for many years!

I am part of a husband and wife team. My husband Pete is a laidback Minnesotan and I grew up in Germany. Between the two of us we speak multiple languages. Though we are based in the DC metro area we love to travel for destination weddings!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I are so glad we Anji and Pete to shoot our engagement and wedding photos and highly recommend them. Anji and Pete were absolute professionals during the whole process and had great communication. We preferred to have photographers who were more in the background to capture our special moments instead of actively posing us and we were very happy that this aligned with Anji and Pete’s style. Whenever we had specific questions, they would have blog posts or answers right away to make the whole process go smoothly. Our families and us absolutely loved all of the photos we received from our engagement shoot and wedding. Fingers crossed that we never need wedding photographers again but if we did we would definitely choose 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.

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.

From the moment we met Darcy, we knew our couple's portrait session was going to be special. Darcy possesses not only an incredible talent for photography but also an exceptional ability to make you feel completely at ease. The session with my fiancée was filled with laughter and genuine moments, thanks to Darcy's friendly and professional demeanor. Darcy's attention to detail is remarkable. She found the perfect lighting and backgrounds that complemented us as a couple, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere. Her creativity shone through in every shot, making each photo unique and personal. The final photographs left us in awe. Darcy captured our love and connection in a way that was both natural and artistically beautiful. The colors, the angles, the moments – everything was pieced together flawlessly. These photos aren’t just images; they are treasured memories that we will cherish forever. What truly sets Darcy apart is her passion for her work. She went above and beyond to ensure our session was enjoyable and the results were more than we could have ever hoped for. Her ability to capture the essence of our relationship in her photos is a testament to her incredible skill as a photographer. In summary, Darcy is an outstanding photographer whose work is a blend of art and emotion. We highly recommend her to any couple looking to capture their love in a timeless and beautiful way. Thank you, Darcy, for giving us memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.

Alexandria, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,450

Hi! I’m Steph, a wedding and lifestyle photographer, and I’m here for the couples who believe in rich colors and wild and care-free love. 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
The first time we met Steph, we felt like she was an old friend. We hired her after the first meeting – we just knew – it felt like we had met our soulmate in a wedding photographer. Fast-forward to 1-month post-wedding, we still love her like family. She is responsive, caring, and stress-free: something you need on your special day! Steph captures your heart and soul in the photos she takes. The colors are very “real” and somehow embodies how you’re feeling that day. This is how we wanted to remember our engagement and our wedding day – those exact feelings. Every time we look through our engagement and wedding photos, the feelings are overwhelming as it takes you back to that day and that time in your life. Needless and we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves: we are obsessed with our wedding photos. Steph is fun-loving and easy to work with. She has a great smile, great laugh, and makes you feel comfortable doing unnatural walks/poses. She was a huge part of our wedding day (obviously) but it didn’t feel like she was just the photographer – her heart and soul was in it. She invests in her couples and truly takes the time to get to know you but in an authentic way because she actually cares about who she photographs. Booking Steph was by far the best choice we made for our wedding and I will recommend her endlessly.

I am a Documentary Wedding Photographer who captures Candid and Natural moments! I like to blend right into your day and clients describe me as calm, cool and personable.

Most importantly, I’m here for you! That might mean directing your family and keeping everything under control. My goal is to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

We hired Konrad as our wedding photographer and it was an excellent experience. Konrad arrived to the venue on time, we discussed the layout and went to shoot photos.

Jamaal produces timeless visuals and agencies across the conduits of creative genres, exploring the roots of the emotions at the core of us all.

I initially had first hand experience with Jamaal's work while being in a good friend's wedding last year. A this wedding Jamaal was great. He paid attention to detail, was prompt and on time, didn't need to be told to capture certain moments, etc. When it came time for my big day, I knew I had the perfect person in mind. My wife and I decided to go the conservative route and have a small wedding w/ reception dinner at a restaurant. However, based on our wedding photo sneak peaks that Jamaal provided after; you would think it was a bigger wedding that what it actually was! Which is exactly what we wanted. He captured every moment perfect. My wife and I are happy to have worked with J. and hope to use him in the future for whatever occasion we have coming up next! Thank you again J!

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.

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.

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

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

My wife and I love movies. A lot. So much so that we're on a first name basis with the staff of our local multiplex. When we got engaged we knew we wanted to have our pictures taken at the theater. It seemed like a crazy idea and Justin jumped at the chance. He came to the shoot filled with ideas and a contagious enthusiasm. Even before we got the amazing pictures we knew we wanted to hire him for our wedding day. The photos from the engagement shoot made us even more excited for our wedding, if only to see what Justin would do! On the day of the wedding he made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. He worked with our wedding planner and videographer to make sure everything went buttery smooth so we could be completely stress free. Our friends and family loved him too! He managed to make what by all accounts should have been an uncomfortable few hours and turn it into a genuinely fun experience for everyone involved. The wedding party had a blast goofing around and posing together. In addition to his great eye for staging Justin has a way of capturing moments of beauty you didn't even know were there. Blink-and-you-miss-them moments like the belly laugh after a joke, the joy of dancing with old friends, and the most meaningful of shared glances. He managed to bottle the full range of emotions of our day and lay them out in stunning detail so we can relive it over and over again. Not only is Justin McCallum a phenomenal photographer, he's also a passionate lovely person who is a joy to be around as well as work with.

When we were choosing wedding photographers, we wanted someone whose work would transport us back to our wedding day. His photos captured the small, intimate moments that we will treasure most about the happiest day of our lives- the laughs as the wedding party prepared together, the moment my father saw me in my dress for the first time, the roller coaster of emotions as we read our vows to each other, the rowdy dancing at the end of the night. I can look at a picture and remember exactly how I felt at that moment. To Sean, the photographer who captures joy- from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

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've had a camera in my hand since I was at least ten years old. Photography has always been something I've been passionate about. I was the friend that captured all the memories in high school. Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

We loved every second of working with Kay! What initially drew us to her, was her style. We wanted to have that documentary/candid style of photography that captured all of our raw, cheesy, ugly laughing moments and Kay did just that. From our engagement photos to the day of our wedding, she caught all of those magical moments with all of our favorite people. On top of her amazing work, she will literally become your friend. She’s one of those people that allows you to just breathe easier. No awkwardness, no judgements, just fun and light and laughter. LOTS of laughter! We would choose Kay a hundred times more!

If you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins enough!! We hired Stephanie at the recommendation of a friend - and I’m so glad we did!! Putting aside the fact that her photos are STUNNING (which they are), Stephanie had such a relaxing and fun presence that she made taking wedding photos a good time! It’s so clear in both her attitude and her work that she loves what she’s doing, and that makes the whole experience 1000x better. On top of that, her work is simply gorgeous. She has such an eye for angles and poses that really comes through in the photos. Stephanie also sent us a sneak peak gallery the day after the wedding (which is not the norm!), which was so nice and let us relive some of our favorite moments the next day! Stephanie was responsive, professional, and best of all TALENTED. Again, if you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, hire Stephanie!!!

Maria from Rise & Roam Photography was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Both my husband and I didn't want typical, cheesy wedding photos, but rather photos that captured our individual personalities, our love, and the special moments--both big & small--throughout the day and night of our wedding. Maria did just that, and more! Not only is her artistic style what we had been looking for, but Maria made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera, and able to be ourselves. She's professional and yet fun & funny, so we instantly felt at ease with her. She captured all the photos we wanted from the day, and then some, and we are so happy with the finished product.

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. Our goal with each new wedding, is not to be just good or “good enough”--the goal is to be world-class, one of the top wedding photography teams in the world. Each couple helps us accomplish this.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. 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. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

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.

My husband and I got married almost 7 months ago and the pictures for both our engagement session and our wedding were amazing. We loved working with Pix by Jay and would definitely use him again.
