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.

Josh did an incredible job shooting my last-minute impromptu elopement in Annapolis! While it ended up raining during our shoot, we had a blast running up and down the streets of Annapolis taking unique shots! Josh’s positive energy is absolutely contagious. My husband and I hate being in front of the camera but Josh made our time so much fun!! We laughed the entire time! He said that rain shots end up with some of the most interesting photos, and he wasn’t wrong! He incorporated the rain and our umbrella in an absolutely brilliant way. He got absolutely drenched working meticulously and efficiently to find the perfect backdrops for us all around the city. We are absolutely thrilled with how they came out!!! The pictures are stunning! He makes every moment memorable! I’ve worked with Josh previously and I look forward to working with Josh again on all our big milestone events!!

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

  • Serves Santa Maria, CA for additional fees

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I are so happy with our wedding photos! Marilyn was great to work with, so friendly and understanding and made us both feel very comfortable. She was very organized in the lead up and we knew exactly what to expect and communicated very clearly with us throughout the entire process. Definitely would recommend her for any photography needs!

  • Serves Santa Maria, CA for additional fees

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 was absolutely incredible!! He was able to impeccably capture the beauty and joy of the day. A lot of photographers we considered had beautiful photos, but the reason we went with Justin was because you could feel the joy come through the photos and it paid off! Justin sent us the high quality, well edited photos faster than I have ever heard any wedding photographer get pictures to the bride and groom and he made it very easy for us to share those pictures with family and friends. Not only did Justin deliver beautiful photos that captured the mood of the day, but he went above and beyond his photographer duties. When all of the bridal party was racing around with wet fingernails, Justin stepped in to help button the many buttons on my dress. When we were running late to get to the ceremony, Justin called the front desk at the venue to make sure our ride was waiting for us to get to the ceremony ASAP. I cannot recommend Justin enough!!!

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, I love sunshine and I'm a documentary-style wedding & engagement photographer based in Philadelphia. I'm a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories with my camera in a beautiful & compelling way. Basically, I’m a down-to-earth gal from Pennsylvania who got hooked on the travel bug at college in Georgia (go dawgs!!), has a passion for storytelling and absolutely loves love. Running, biking and chasing sunsets are my favorite pastimes. I’m team coffee AND team tea. I dream real big and I’m full of ambition. Oh, and I'm not just you wedding photographer ... I'm your new friend :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Gaby is a MUST for anyone who wants the perfect wedding photography experience. First of all, the quality of the images you get will be amazing. Gaby will capture each detail and moment in a way that makes your heart sing every time you look at them. Second, she is incredibly organized yet go-with-the-flow. She will get to the big day with a detailed timetable and plan, and take care of organizing family members and distractable friends. However, she will also flex with you if you decide to take a break or pick a new, inspired location for some pictures. Finally, she has a super calming and uplifting presence. This is coming not only from me but also my husband, my bridesmaids, and his groomsmen. EVERYONE commented on how calming Gaby was- in charge of the situation when she needed to be but in a super not stressful way. Our entire wedding party loved her and wants to hire her for their future weddings now too. After the wedding day Gaby will send you a small sample gallery so fast it'll blow your socks off, and the images are sure to make you excited to see the rest to come. She also offers an album creation service where she can tailor the images for a specific audience. We are going to get one for each set of parents and one big one for ourselves. The albums is a REALLY nice touch especially for family members who prefer printed media. I cannot recommend Gaby highly enough- 10/10 absolutely would hire her again every single time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin?! When my husband and I got engaged December of 2019, the first thing I did was book Carmen to be our photographer. I always knew that I wanted her to capture our special day because her work is so incredible! Unfortunately, our plans for a big wedding changed after COVID but we didn't want to pass up on the opportunity to have our love captured, so we decided to elope and it was the best decision ever! Carmen was so understanding about the whole thing and provided us with a number of local vendors for our Joshua Tree elopement. And when the day finally came, we were blown away by the experience! My husband and I peg ourselves to be pretty awkward people especially when people take our photos but Carmen made us feel so comfortable. She had to direct us a bit in the beginning because we didn't know what we were doing haha but that day was everything we could ever dream of. We keep going back and reminiscing about that day because we had so much fun! And when we finally got our gallery, we were blow away by how beautiful the photos came out! We're still trying to figure out which photos to print out and put up on our walls because there's just so many good shots to choose from! Again, thank you soooo much for capturing our special day and thank you for hanging out with us and eating 'zzaaa! You're amazing! These are photos that we'll look back on and cherish forever!

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

Lindsey is incredibly talented and exceeded our expectations. Her lighting and color style is out of this world. The engagement shoot helped us get a level of comfort so we could fully enjoy our wedding day and trust her eye. We are so thankful to have had her to capture the moments we so fondly look back on. Highly recommend!

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

The communication was great with Monica and Tyler. They let us know before hand what we were going to do and helped out a lot during photos with things that they didn’t have to help with. They gave great and fun vibes to us for our wedding and during wedding. They made us feel comfortable while doing photos and videos. I hired Monica and Tyler because of their professionalism and great work we seen online. We definitely would recommend them for a Wedding or a lifetime experience.

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10.

With a warm heart and lifelong passion for capturing poignant moments, Denis is one of the most recognized and sought-after photojournalists for weddings of any size anywhere. Master of being everywhere yet nowhere to be seen, he quietly surveys and documents the scene often from the sidelines. His authentic and touching wedding photographs reveal a loving spirit with sincerity and depth as no staged photograph can. He discovers people at their relaxed best without prompting or posing, unaware of his camera or mission. He views himself as a witness and historian on hand to discover and document heartfelt wedding day moments.

My husband and I knew that we wanted a photographer who would capture timeless images of our wedding day. Denis's portfolio speaks for itself. When you are planning your wedding you are worried about every detail but selecting Denis Reggie as your wedding photographer is one of those decisions that you are sure of immediately and never have to second guess. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out stunningly and we will cherish them forever!

How do I even begin!? Jessica is hands down the best! She captured every single detail of our very busy and beautiful wedding! Our wedding day was honestly a blur, but everything that I or my husband could have ever wanted was captured, and I’m able to look back and relive one of the best days of my life over and over again. She not only is an amazing photographer, but an amazing human being. When it came to portraits after our ceremony, she handled my husbands very big family with ease and kept everyone on schedule without compromising the quality of her work. Her associate, Chrystal is also amazing and does amazing work! I still get compliments from friends and family about how friendly Jessica and Chrystal were at our wedding. I can’t say enough great things about both of these wonderful women! I can’t wait for them to capture my husbands and I big moments later on in our lives!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Celia at The Lovely Lens was an absolute GEM!! Our wedding was not the typical / traditional ceremony-- on purpose! Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia. She was so friendly and kind us as well as to our family and friends, and immediately jumped on board with our 'potluck bbq at Grandma's house' vibe. By the end of the day she felt like part of the family as we chatted about our furkids and exchanged on where to order some cute socks with their faces on them, haha. If you're looking for an absolute powerhouse of an artist to capture your day in the way that doesn't feel awkward or intrusive, or if you're looking for a photographer with genuinely good vibes and authentic energy, or if you're looking for someone to simply help tell your love story through stunning imagery-- please consider The Lovely Lens of Celia for your special day. 3

I'm also a firm believer in doing my part in making your wedding planning simpler for you, because let's face it wedding planning can be a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning. Also, weddings are stupid expensive and the moment you add the word "wedding" to anything the price jumps like 5x which is NOT COOL, and doesn't set couples up for success. So I try to keep my prices low. If you need help paying let me know!

Nick is our friend and was great to work with! He was very flexible with our appointment date, scoped out our preferred location before the photo shoot for great ideas, and made us feel at ease. One fun moment was when we ran into horse drawn sleighs in our Christmas city, and Nick actually asked the driver if we could just get a few photos on the sleigh (which turned out to be pretty magical). Nick also blew our expectations with both the quality and quantity of photos he edited and sent to us within just a couple weeks during the busy holiday season. Pricing is exceptional, and photos speak for themselves. Would highly recommend :)

My heart burns with a fierce and undeniable love for photography. It's a passion that runs deep, rooted in the belief that every image has the power to speak to the soul and evoke emotions that can't be put into words. My love for capturing moments behind the lens encompasses all aspects of life. It's these moments of raw and genuine connection that ignite my soul and drive my creativity. Because to me, a photograph is not just about being aesthetically pleasing or technically perfect. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotions that can't be replicated, and the stories waiting to be told.

Working with Dominique was an amazing experience, from our initial inquiry to the delivery of our final gallery. Dominique was very sweet, professional and organized, which made it so that my fiancé and I didn't have to stress over anything. She took a genuine interest in getting to know us and our love story, so that our photos would reflect who we are as a couple. Thanks to her help, our photo timeline worked out perfectly with the timeline of our wedding day events. We are absolutely in love with our galleries and love the creative overlap that we were able to achieve. Dominique made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in natural and genuine photos. We had mentioned that detail shots were important to us, and Dominique captured them beautifully. We are beyond happy with our decision to hire Dominique and are excited to have these gorgeous photos to look back on forever. Thank you so much!

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding day was the most important day of our lives (thus far). We placed a lot of value in having quality photography for our big day, and Mel did not disappoint! Having Melissa capture our wedding was THE best decision we made when planning our day. Mel is a dream to work with. She brings the talent, insight, boss energy, and the party! She was super easy to coordinate and communicate with and took out the anxiety provoking part of having pictures taken of yourself (and even made it enjoyable!). Her work is incredible and speaks for itself. We were blown away by the final product and are immensely grateful for how these memories were captured. Many of the photos are proudly displayed in our home. We are glad to call Mel a friend and would highly recommend MCP for all your photography needs.

Natalie was fantastic at posing us and directing us to create beautiful shots. Her ability to capture both our expressions as well as the beauty of the scenery around us was unmatched. She was up for exploring around the wilderness location, including hiking and climbing through lakeside hills, and never made us feel like we were taking too long. The quality of the final products is crystal clear and amazing - it looks like we are back in the woods of the Scottish Highlands every time we look at the pictures.

SUGAR RUSH ! WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT 2 PEOPLE WHO CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS SPECIAL DAY SO PERFECTLY? I MET LYNDI WHEN SHE SHOT ME AND MY SISTERS SENIOR PICTURES . I LOVED THE IMAGES SO MUCH I KNEW WHO I WANTED TO SHOOT MY WEDDING ! 2 YEARS LATER I WAS ENGAGED AND ME AND JORD TALKED WITH ROB AND LYNDI AT A FAMILY MEMBERS WEDDING THEY WERE SHOOTING . WE KNEW AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THEM THEY WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR US . IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO VIBE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER SO YOU CAN REALLY EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WANT AND THEY CAN READ YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND PUT THAT FEELING INTO THE FINISHED PRODUCT. I FELL IN LOVE WITH ROBS WORK WHEN I SAW THE FIRST LOOK VIDEO HE HAD DONE FOR THIS FAMILY WEDDING . A FEW WEEKS LATER ME AND JORD DECIDED ‘ HEY LET’S GET MARRIED IN HAWAII CAUSE WHY NOT?! ‘ ….AND LET’S HAVE ROB AND LYNDI COME WITH US ! LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! FROM OUR ENGAGEMENTS AND LOVE STORY VIDEO TO THE FIRST LOOK AND RECEPTION ,WE ARE IN LOVE WITH THE WAY OUR LOVE WAS CAPTURED. WE WANTED TO USE THE SAME PHOTO/VIDEO PEOPLE THROUGHOUT OUR EXPERIENCE TO ENSURE THE COVERAGE FLOWED NICELY TOGETHER . WE ALSO WANTED TO DO OUR DESTINATION WEDDING WITH PEOPLE WE TRUSTED . WE FLEW PEOPLE OUT WHO WE HAD A CONNECTION WITH, RATHER THAN FIND SOMEONE NEW ON THE ISLAND, AND WE ARE SO HAPPY WE DID IT THAT WAY! ROB AND LYNDI WERE INCREDIBLE TO WORK WITH THEY ARE SO TALENTED BUT ALSO SO FUN TO BE AROUND. THEY MAKE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED AND RECORDED A BETTER EXPERIENCE . I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SUGAR RUSH IS HOW THEY PERFECTLY CAPTURED ME AND MY HUSBANDS RELATIONSHIP AND THE FEELING OF OUR WEDDING DAY. THEY TRULY GOT THE ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE AND THAT MEANS SO MUCH ! ONE LAST THING . YOU WILL NEVER REGRET GETTING A WEDDING VIDEO DONE . EVER ! A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT VIDEO IS AND HOW MUCH YOU WILL WANT ONE AFTER THE DAY IS OVER . TO ME MY WEDDING VIDEO IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MY PHOTOS . I GET TO RELIVE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE ANYTIME I WANT AND I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH IT. PHOTO CAPTURES THE INDIVIDUAL MOMENTS AND VIDEO CAPTURES THE ENTIRE DAY. THEY ARE BOTH ESSENTIAL AND ROB AND LYNDI WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! WE LOVE SUGAR RUSH AND EVERYTHING THEY DO ! THANK YOU ROB AND LYNDI! LOVE, YOUR HAWAII COUPLE JOJO & LOLO

Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

I can't gush over Grace enough. After postponing our wedding twice due to Covid, we abandoned our original plans of having a huge wedding at home in Kentucky and decided to have a small ceremony at the beach in Florida. After finding Grace through hashtags on Instagram, we DMed a bit and setup a call. After talking on the phone, I was sold! Grace was my go to girl for all things Florida. She had the BEST recommendations for other vendors and was ALWAYS just a text away if I had any questions or simply needed someone to share wedding plans with. Even though we didn't actually meet in person until the day of the ceremony, it felt as if we had been lifelong friends. She PERFECTLY captured our ceremony and I can't wait to plan another shoot with her when we visit again!!

TBH, in all of my excitement I forgot to think through the shots since ours plans on the location shifted but Jordan was prepared and guided us with pose suggestions and a narrative to tell our love story. To this day (7 years later to be exact) these pictures are still my most favorites. And actually, we loved working with him so much that we called him to take some professional headshots and our holiday cards as well!

I met Haley and Camden through a friend who had also booked them for their wedding. We booked them for both engagement photos and wedding photos and we could not be more happy with their services. Having a married couple team as photographers was everything, as they made us feel super comfortable and they were able to direct us throughout the sessions in a way that I think a solo photographer would not be able to do. They went above and beyond and I’m so happy we chose them!

Bethany was an amazing photographer and overall person to work with!! I knew when we first met with her that she just had a natural grace and ability to help us with our pictures. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we did in Philly, and she knew the best spots to shoot so our pictures came out beautifully. On our wedding day, she traveled all over our location to take pictures - you can tell she is willing to go the extra mile for her clients and her pictures are FANTASTIC. She is amazing and our wedding wouldn't be half as good without her pictures and her help. Thank you Bethany!
