This photoshoot was a surprise gift and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. I typically HATE getting my picture taken, but he made it so easy.

My husband and I can’t say enough how pleased we were with our video and our overall experience with Amative Creative! From the first phone call, Andrea was friendly and professional, and she really listened to what was important to us when it came to capturing and editing our video. On our big day, her team came prepared knowing what was important to us, and was able to think on their feet when rain came and adjusted some plans! To top it off, they made all the little moments that much more fun! Once our big day was over, Andrea was professional and communicative with the editing process, and they delivered the most amazing wedding video! I will be honest and say that I have watched it almost every day since getting it back, it truly encompasses all the feelings that we felt on our big day and helps us relive them again and again! We love Amative Creative and I will always recommend them for your wedding videography needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
I suffer with a disability and multiple chronic illnesses that caused me to gain a lot weight over a short period of time, so I became extremely self-conscious about my image. Over the past couple of years I always avoided a camera and one of the biggest fears on my wedding day was having to get my photo taken. I was so picky with who I wanted as a photographer and I didn’t want to just settle with anyone. Once I found Lindsay and looked through her work, I loved everything I saw &  I knew I had found our photographer! Once I booked her we quickly connected. I loved how she sent me a friend request not long after booking her. It was really nice to get to know her and her family over time and made everything so much smoother when it came to taking our photos. When she took our engagement photos a year before our wedding, it felt like I had already known Lindsay for years! She truly takes the time to get to know all of her clients on a personal level which was so important to me. It was also useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. We have the most beautiful photos from that magical time before the big day. By the time our wedding came in June 2023, I was so comfortable around her and her husband Nathan. The connection and ease we found with her shows through in the final product. We are generally very awkward and have a tendency to pull silly faces the minute a camera is in our vicinity. Lindsay knew exactly how to make us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. I told her my insecurities and she worked with them flawlessly. On our wedding day, it poured all day. It was miserable. But Lindsay and Nathan managed to still give us the most beautiful photos we could have ever asked for. Despite the rain, our photos are stunning, filled with that glowy, flattering light. The thousands of photos we received from Lindsay and Nathan were absolutely breathtaking. For the first time in years, I didn’t look at photos and hate myself in them. I felt beautiful and I was so excited to share our photos with everyone. Six months later, we still receive plenty of compliments with how beautiful our wedding photos are. Lindsay and Nathan somehow captured every last detail, every single moment (some moments I didn’t even see for myself), perfectly. When I look back at our wedding album I feel exactly how I did on that day. We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect photographer to capture our memories. We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Lindsay Eileen Photography!

Hi! I'm Amy Ronk, a photographer currently based in Denver, CO. After attending photography school, weddings kind of stole my heart. I love love of every kind, and it's always such an honor to be considered to capture your wedding day. I focus mainly on candid moments, and showcasing the emotions of the day. I think it's important to walk away from your wedding with timeless, beautiful photos that will remind you just how special your day was.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Amy for our wedding photos after seeing her art style and knew it would be a perfect fit for our venue! We got married inside of a cavern, and it was so important to us that our photographer was comfortable with that lighting situation. We had a few calls with Amy (since we lived in different states) to get to know each other, and she sent a questionnaire to get more info which we really appreciated! When we met, her energy was so calming and inclusive and she made us and our family/friends feel completely at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. And when I saw our photos, my jaw dropped. I could not believe she captured such incredible detail of our whole day. The pictures do all of the talking, we are forever grateful to have them. My grandmother passed 2 months after our wedding, and I got to show her all of our wedding photos which is a moment I will cherish forever. 3 10/10 recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for someone to make you feel your absolute best, super comfortable, and give some direction - you’re in the right place. Nicole and I would not have been happier with the choice to book Steve for our engagement/wedding photos and video. We were nervous and uncomfortable with posing and stressing out about how we would look in our photos, but he did his absolute best to make it super fun and stress free. We look at these photos and are still in shock at how beautiful we felt and how much fun we had. He communicated with us every step of the way and took the time to understand and execute our vision. We wanted a couples handshake stop motion … seems a little out there, right? Well … he made it happen and I’m still crying over it today. We had a few photos to swoon over as soon as a few hours later(to hold us over), and the rest came super quickly as well. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. There is only one answer here - book Steve for your photo & video needs if you’re looking for the best experience out there

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Sam is a truly talented one of a kind artist, and yet you won’t find the kind of ego you’d expect to with someone like that. Instead he’s warm, accommodating and a true team player. My team LOVES working with the guy. That is all.

  • Serves Newport News, VA

I'm Katie and I've been a wedding photographer for over ten years now. In that time I've been lucky to photograph nearly 200 weddings all over the East coast and the world! I love to approach each wedding day as though I were telling the story to someone who wasn't there...which to me means capturing a mixture of the little details you worked so hard to choose as well as those little in between moments that happen as the day unfolds. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can find me shopping at Trader Joe's, planning my next trip, or cuddling with my cat, Lucy!

I had the pleasure of working with Katie Nesbitt over the course of several years and have watched her talents evolve in the process. Katie's eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with. She deftly navigates complex family dynamics, moves swiftly through portrait sessions, and knows when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. She has a way of elevating our charming, little farm venue through her lens and makes it look sophisticated and refined! I was always impressed by the mix of candids, posed shots, and details she captured throughout the day. Beyond that, she is punctual, communicative, dependable, and complimented every single vendor team she has been paired with for our couples! In fact, I hired Katie as my own wedding photographer for my 2020 (now 2022) wedding because I was so impressed with her professionalism behind the scenes as well as her work. I've loved working with Katie in this capacity, especially during these complicated times, because every communication reminded me that she cared, listened, was flexible as we were forced to change our plans. The next steps were clearly outlined, so we were never left wondering what was going on. It made us feel that we were being guided by a true professional through a process she was a master at! I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.

She has worked as a wedding photographer for many years, providing exceptional service and stunning collection for each couple. Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

I truly cannot thank her enough for taking the time to truly listen to my wants. She helped guide us through the entire process. Taylor gives her clients her all and the experience is better than I could have ever imagined. If you are considering Taylor stop thinking about it right now and book her immediately!!

LindseyK Photography specializes in capturing romance and emotion. Waiting for the sun to gleam just right through the trees, having finger on trigger awaiting that moment dad wipes a tear from his daughter's eye during their dance, or pulling the bride and groom away for some alone time during sunset to capture that forehead kiss. These are the moments... the moments of subtle, real, beautiful emotion that float through a busy wedding day easily forgotten unless captured. The importance of your bouquet broach, notes shared, jewelry worn, groomsmen toasts, ..even quirky socks, all tell the story of your day.

As a planner who works with many photographers, Lindsey has always been amazing to work with, quick to respond, and serious and caring about her clients. Her turnaround is fantastic and her work is beautiful. :)

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer who not only captures every intricate detail but also brings a sense of ease and joy to your special day, look no further than Silvia Gilbert Photography. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding, and boy, did she exceed our expectations! Silvia] has an unparalleled knack for capturing the essence of each moment, from the stolen glances between the newlyweds to the delicate lace on the bride's gown. Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion. But what truly sets Silvia apart is her easy-going personality. Despite the inevitable chaos of a wedding day, she remained calm, cool, and collected, effortlessly putting us at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy the festivities. Her warm demeanor and infectious enthusiasm made the entire experience feel like a breeze, and her presence felt more like that of a dear friend rather than a hired vendor. Not only did Silvia capture all the big moments beautifully, but she also had a remarkable ability to capture the small, fleeting moments that we may have otherwise missed. Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving every laugh, tear, and heartfelt exchange. In short, Silvia Gilbert Photography is a true gem in the world of wedding photography. If you want stunning photos and a stress-free experience, entrust her with your special day—you won't be disappointed.

You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

Are you looking for a photographer that feels more like a friend? One that makes you comfortable when posing and documents natural laughs? Oh hey! You found me! What is my style? I'm a candid and VIBRANT photographer. How would my friends describe me? Bubbly, loyal, and hilarious. Okay, maybe they don't tell me I'm hilarious but I laugh at my own jokes.

Strongly recommend working with Kaitlyn for your wedding photos-- we are so pleased with how the photos from our wedding turned out. I don't know how, but Kaitlyn captured just about every moment to a "t". Even reviewing our photos, we caught so many moments we missed the day of. So grateful we had such a professional and well-equipped photog in our corner on our special day-- it allowed us to kick back and enjoy ourselves, and I'm *SO* glad we put our faith in her. One note-- when working with Kaitlyn, she'll ask you to fill out a survey before your event. I'm so glad she did, because it got us thinking about what our priorities were before our wedding day, and every single photo we could've wanted or asked for is there! She even managed to corral our very camera-shy dog.

We are Hannah and Anthony Green, a husband and wife photography team specializing in weddings throughout Virginia. While we love a wedding with a great mountain view or a historic home, we know that it is the people that make this day truly special. Our favorite part of the wedding day is capturing authentic moments as your most special people celebrate the start of your new family. Some of our favorite images from our own wedding were fun, candid moments with our family and best friends. We take that experience, and our 7 years of photographing weddings together, to bring a unique approach to wedding photography that is couple-focused.

Hannah and her team were OUTSTANDING!! Every step of the process Hannah went above and beyond and really made me feel important and my ideas heard. She was always there and willing to jump in to help with anything and ease my stress on the wedding day. She was extra prepared for whatever and super professional yet down to earth and approachable. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease when taking the photos which really helps make them look and feel very genuine and not stiff and posed. When it came time to delivering the finished gallery we were blown away at just how many STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS photos she had captured and how fast she did it! We couldn’t have been more pleased. She was such a tremendous blessing and we were so so grateful she was a part of our special day. If you are on the fence about what photographer to hire, don’t hesitate any longer, she is the best and you will not regret choosing her and her talents!

To be one with life and nature. I am always seeking new opportunities and adventure. I believe that my work is for the wildly in love, the crazy about each other, the ones who dream of a happy loving beautiful life together, the soul mates. I want to be able to tell the story of two lovers. I find it is very important for a bride to get to know their photographer before their wedding day since we are with them all day long.

Dom listened to my insecurities and took beautiful photos. He was fun to work with and returned our photos in a timely manner! His wedding photos are incredible as well. Definitely book him!

I have studied fine art photography long before I ever started taking portraits of other people and shooting weddings. Fine art photography was my beginning, creating conceptual and authentic art that spoke to me and told my story was what I started with and then I started blurring that line between fine art and documentary. I started documenting other people and their lives in the same way that I created my own work intended for shows and galleries. That is how I came to the style that I shoot now, still blending the two parts of my life.
