Caitlin & Devon are a husband/wife photo/video team dedicated to making your wedding day one to savor and cherish forever! Just like you, Caitlin & Devon are planning their own wedding and know exactly what it's like to be in this season of life. By offering custom package options and a guiding hand throughout your wedding experience, you're sure to be left with a positive experience and a gallery full of precious memories! Caitlin started her photography journey in 2017, straight out of high school, and Devon joined her full-time in 2020, They absolutely adore each of the 150+ weddings they've been able to capture and each couple they meet!

When I say that this was THE MOST worthwhile money spent on our wedding, I mean it. Caitlin and Devin were absolutely above and beyond what I ever could have expected as photographers. Not to mention there are two of them! While Caitlin spent time with me pre-ceremony, Devin was with the groomsmen, so we have amazing photographs of both getting ready areas and double the pictures of the ceremony and reception. Both of them worked far beyond what a photographer could be expected to do and filled in gaps that I didn't even know I had in the planning. Truly cannot recommend them enough, they captured the very best in our day.

You can usually find me at home, cleaning up the 95th mess of the day, homeschooling my oldest, editing with a cup of coffee and Gilmore Girls, and always wishing it was warm enough to get my crazy kids outside. I have loved photographing things since I was about 5 years old (Power Rangers paper dolls were my subjects), but I never realized it could be a job until I was married, finished with a bachelor's degree in Math, a Masters degree in secondary education and was a full-time high school teacher.

Working with Sean was a pleasure! I had contacted him with only 10 days left for my surprise proposal and his quick responses and on-point communication really put me at ease. Talking over the details of the surprise helped me fine tune the location and setting so he could capture some perfect moments. Sean made sure he was around throughout the night; before the surprise and afterwards for the party to capture the entire night. That way we got a great sense of the entire time for our everlasting memories. The pictures have come out great and everyone has loved them!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is long overdue. One year ago today, Ashley photographed my intimate family wedding. Literally everyone at my wedding loved her. My brother is also a professional photographer (but a jinx for weddings) and complimented her sooo many times. She was so low-key throughout the event, blending right in throughout the day. She was so sweet and friendly, she basically felt like was part of the family that day. She got beautiful portraits of me and my husband, portraits with our families, then so many great candids throughout the day - exactly what we wanted. She definitely knows what she's doing with the couple portraits too - she gave us directions that sounded so silly at the time, but omg the pictures came out amazing. Cannot thank her enough, and cannot tell you enough to BOOK HER NOW!

Love Knot Photography

San Francisco, CA

  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Overall I would say Isaac and Love Knot Photography are just what I was hoping to find in a wedding photographer. Someone who is very creative, friendly, organized and experienced. I could totally trust he would see to it that my photos were taken care of in every way possible. The standard photos you would expect at a wedding and unique photos that were original to our seashore location all turned out great! The photos started as we were getting ready. Isaac took some beautiful shots of the wedding dress and important jewelry I was wearing. Abstract moments before the ceremony were a blur in my mind and it was so fun to relive the events through the behind the scenes photos. Isaac and his team got some great photos of all the little ceremonies we had scripted for the ceremony program as well as the games and activities during the reception. Taking different ideas and types of shots for the sunset photos was one of my favorite parts of the day. For me it was a chance to get away from the party for a moment and fun to work with Isaac one on one and see the ideas he had for taking some photographs that will be special forever. During our sparkler grand exit, Isaac was very helpful in organizing our guests. As well as my husband and I. The photos turned out very romantic. Some of my favorites of the whole day. Thank you Isaac and Love Knot!

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!

Stephanie did an amazing job capturing the special moments at our wedding! She was very easy to communicate with, make sure she understood what kind of pics we were hoping she’d capture, took time to get pictures of the rings/decorations before the ceremony began, & was very patient with us getting pics with all our friends/family. Bonus was she got pics of just my husband & I after we got married & it was so awesome that she captured those moments of just the two of us. We are aren’t great with posing so she also helped guide us & got great candid moments between my husband & me. We almost didn’t get a photographer, but I definitely would have regretted it.

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!!!

I feel so grateful every day that I get to capture the most heartfelt moments and feelings that occur during weddings as well as documenting the relationships between people who love each other so much – families, friends and couples! I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Sharon is the best and I would highly recommend to anyone. She is very responsive, easy to get along with, and amazing at what she does. She did our engagement and wedding pictures and they are perfect. She even went out of her way to include our dog and do some bridal portraits for me. Her pricing is very fair and you can tell she knows exactly what to do. Sharon made our wedding day seamless as she knew all the best shots to take at Alexander Homestead. Whether you need a photographer for a wedding or anything else I wouldn’t hesitate and book Sharon. She made our wedding pictures look like a fairy tale!

Molly did such an amazing job capturing our wedding last month. We'd originally planned to have our ceremony and reception outside, but it was monsoon'ing the entire day so we had to quickly change plans.

As a wife and husband team; we are romantics dedicated to telling your love story through your big day! Each Wedding Gallery we create is captured with your vision in mind; edited and curated to weave the narrative of your romance. We are more than photographers - we are storytellers, painting with light, color, and movement. When the decorations are gone, and the food is eaten - all you'll be left with are the photos telling your story. Leave that to us!

I own Barn Swallow wedding venue in Ballard WV which is where I had the honor to work with River Songs Photos. Caledonia Brown and her husband Jay were a very fluid pair. It is obvious they take the job seriously as they delivered fabulous photos for our bride and groom. When we have a new photographer at our venue I pay very close attention to not only the photographer and the photos they take, but how they use the area they have, how they respond to the bride and groom as well as the guest. I am pleased to say that Caledonia shows up professional, brings a calm that resonates with the bride and helps her to relax and enjoy the moment more. She was capable of spontaneous photos on the fly when the wedding party ask for additional pictures, I always observed her to accommodate each person with professionalism and grace. Highly recommend River Songs Photos and look forward to having her return to my venue.

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

Hiring Mikkel was one of the first things I did when I got engaged. I let her know immediately the dates we had in mind so I was sure that she would be our wedding photographer. The truth is, I gave her very little direction on what I wanted because I trusted her vision and work completely. The day of the wedding, our entire family was so impressed at how well she knew everyone's name, our entire family dynamic, as well as our location (we did a destination wedding and Mikkel made sure to do a full walkthrough of the entire property beforehand). We still joke about how much little involvement we had because we felt so comfortable working with her! I will say this time and time again, hire someone you trust and know will give you peace of mind. Mikkel captured every moment so beautifully and seamlessly I almost forgot we were being photographed. Hands down the best decision we made!

When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime.

Luis and Barbara are not only incredibly talented but were a joy to work with. Since we're both deaf, our biggest fear when it came to working with a photographer was how we will manage to communicate. But Luis and Barbara made us feel super comfortable and confident from the very beginning and we had so much fun during our sessions with them. They were consistently communicative, transparent, organized, and informative throughout the whole process. Whenever we saw Luis and Barbara all of the usual wedding stresses just melted away. We truly believe they are magic! And when we got our photos, we couldn't be happier. They were beautiful and we will treasure them forever. We sincerely couldn't have asked for a better photographer team.

Beautiful moments full of light and color! Whether you’re getting ready before your big day, having an intimate first look, or dancing the night away with family and friends, every moment of your wedding day is as beautiful as the next. I want to capture these special moments in their truest, most authentic, and most honest form. I’m based in Roanoke, Virginia, however, I love to travel and explore new places! I started my business in 2015, and since then have had the privilege of meeting the most amazing couples and capturing the incredible love they share!

Jared is a top-notch photographer with a keen eye for capturing joy. I came across Jared's photos and was immediately enamored by how bright and cheerful his style was, and after two engagement sessions and a wedding gallery, I can 100% attest to the high quality return on investment customers will receive from him. Our engagement and wedding photos really captured the essence of the spaces we were in, as well as the happiness and excitement for being engaged and getting married. Jared is easy-going and keeps his word on time scales. I recommend Jared to any couple considering beautiful, captivating photos they want to keep for their lifetime.

Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session. We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with 750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more. When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day.

The day that you exchange vows with the love of your life should one filled with peace, love, pure bliss...and a whole lot of fun! My job doesn't stop at creating timeless photos for you, it extends to offering you a sense of peace and showing you that a wedding/elopement day doesn't have to be stressful. Photography began as a passion for me and I make sure to hold on tight on to that and bring that passion into every event, every couple I photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Kalypso on our team as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! My husband is historically not the best at genuine looking forced smiles, yet our wedding pictures all turned out so well! Yes, he was very happy on our wedding day, but in the moment when you tell him to pose, it usually doesn't go so well. Kalypso has all sort of tricks up her sleeve to fix this, and she is such a joyous ball of energy that she has us legitimately laughing and smiling the entire time anyways. She was so easy to coordinate with, and her communication and promptness are on point. On to the most important part though - the pictures! They are AMAZING!! They perfectly capture the best day of our lives and work in all the little details so well. We are having a hard time figuring out what to frame where in our house - there are that many PERFECT pictures. It was Kalypso's first day shooting a wedding at our specific venue, and you would would think it was her own house based on how well she captured it all and worked so well in the space. I will certainly be trying to work with her for future life photoshoots and recommending her to all my friends!

RICARDO IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER AND RUNS THE BUSINESS AND MAKES SURE EVERYTHING GOES AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

My fiancé and I have worked with Yelitza twice and both experiences have been fantastic! She has made us both feel extremely comfortable both times and had great communication with us both times. During our first session she photographed us with our 6-month-old puppy who is very energetic she was very patient with him and was able to get great group shots of all of us. Our latest photography session was a rooftop city session and the photos came out absolutely amazing again! I would highly recommend Yelitza!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Eric is AMAZING at what he does. When we hired him we were at a loss on photographers for our big day because of COVID. Once we went through everything, he told me that we were doing a bridal shoot before the wedding and I was SO nervous. But once I stepped into the studio Eric made me feel like an absolute queen. He let me pick my favorite picture to have on a canvas displayed at my reception and his work is absolutely stunning. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my big day and all of the incredible pictures he took bring me back to those moments every time. His talent is truly unmatched and he is the easiest and funniest person to work with. We would choose him time and time again!

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

My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.

I accidentally stumbled into wedding photography thanks to some family friends, and ended up leaving my career as a consultant to pursue my passion.

She truly nailed the sweet romance we were trying to achieve through our pictures. Our package also included an engagement session and the photos came out beautiful! We had an incredible selection to choose for our save the date and website photos. Maddy’s system is also so easy to use. She uploads all photos online and gives you the option to download into a Google Photos album so it makes sharing with friends and family incredibly simple. In the days leading up to our wedding, Maddy was organized and helpful, even prepared for the rainfall predicted for our wedding! The day turned out gorgeous and so did our pictures. We are so happy we chose Maddy to capture our big day and I know you will too!

We are Amy & Jackson Smith, a husband and wife team, who met through photography. We fell in love and got married 6 years ago in our own backyard right here in Charlottesville. We feel so fortunate to meet such genuine people and have the opportunity to tell their stories. Since 2014 we have shot over 150 weddings at more than 60 venues. We are based in Charlottesville, Virginia and love photographing weddings here as well as Richmond, Washington DC, and beyond.

Amy is one of my favorite vendors to work with! Her and her partner Jackson are professional, talented, and thoughtful enjoyable people. It comes across in their work, and in interacting with them. Their photos are beautiful, and capture detail and emotion so well. I can't recommend working with Amy enough!

I want to tell your story. I am a mix of Documentary and Editorial style of Photography. I want my photos to be a piece of art you hang on your wall. Or an album you pass down to your children and your grandchildren. I believe location is a very important element in telling your story. I am willing to travel, hike, take a boat, whatever I need to do to arrive at the location that inspires and represents you.

Between Sarah's incredible photography skills and lively personality, her services are unmatched! She has the ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera with her easygoing nature and helpful prompts.

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

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