Rich Kessler Photography
Manassas Park, VA
  • Photojournalistic style

Until my oldest came along I only dabbled in film photography, but since moving to digital in 2008 I have been introduced to so many amazing couples, families, new friends and other photographers. Although chasing my kids around and preserving memories of their childhood is of the utmost importance to me, being able to do the same for every family and wedding I’ve been able to photograph is what makes this the most amazing job in the world.

  • Serves Waterford, VA

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!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Waterford, VA

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!

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.

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

My fiancé hired Sean to photograph his proposal and the results were absolutely incredible. Sean is so kind and professional. I’m very uncomfortable getting my photo taken but he made me feel so comfortable and it really showed through in the photos. Nothing was overly posed, which I loved. He perfectly captured our personalities and our love for each other. We have received so many compliments and we will enjoy the photographs for a lifetime. He is going to be the photographer at our wedding - I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing it. I cannot recommend Sean highly enough.

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously. I will be there to support you through the entire wedding process and then fist pump along side you on the dance floor. My main goal is to provide you with an incredible experience. A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

I was so pleased with the quality of Jessi’s work when it came to my wedding day. Not only did she capture our special day perfectly, but she also took the time to talk on the phone with me a few times prior to the day of my wedding to answer questions I had about the day of. I also appreciated how prompt she was with editing and sending us our completed photos. Jessi is also very easy to work with, she is empathetic and it is clear how much care she puts into her work, she’s just the best!

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.

My husband and I chose Sharp Impressions Photo for our wedding and could not have been more thrilled with our choice! Kay is the most bubbly, wonderful person to work with and made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process! Even though we had very little experience being photographed, Kay made our Engagement shoot a blast, and we truly had the best time working with her! Her photographs are absolutely stunning, she was always professional and quick to respond to messages, and overall just the sweetest person! I would highly recommend Sharp Impressions for all of your photo needs!

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

Having Beth as our photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made in the whole wedding planning process. Seriously, if you want the most beautiful pictures you could ask for that capture a moment perfectly, you've come to the right place. From our initial conversations, to our engagement pictures, to our wedding day, Beth put us at ease, made taking pictures fun instead of dull, and more importantly made every photo look incredible (even the ones we felt a little silly taking!). You hang out with your photographer for quite a while on your wedding day, and I'm so glad that Beth was the person we got to spend it with. Our families couldn't get over how stunning her pictures are - she truly gave us the ultimate gift of capturing such a special day perfectly, and we will cherish the pictures for years to come. If you have any doubts at all, I'm here to tell you just do it!

As a pretty camera-shy couple, Michelle immediately made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and had us laughing the whole time! She was so good at giving us direction that it felt natural and easy. It was clear she scoped out the area ahead of time too, with all the fun ideas she had and different spots we walked to. The best was when Michelle managed to find the prettiest street filled with cherry blossoms (at the start of spring)! From the beginning of our contact with her, Michelle was a joy to work with.

Mel is truly a one-of-a-kind photographer. I’m an over planning, anxious person and bride. My photos were my top priority of my wedding day and it was extremely important to me that they were what I wanted. I had searched for what seemed like forever and stumbled across Farfalla and immediately knew it was the style I had been searching for. The contrast makes the photos intimate without comprising them and being too dark. And there is no give in color, it’s beautifully there. I call it intimately colorful, which is what my day is all about. I knew our engagement photos would be good but they surpassed anything I imagined. They were STUNNING. My fiancé is not a picture person but we both felt so comfortable within 10 minutes of the shoot. We laughed, joked, and had fun the whole time, photographer included! She just has the most fun personality that would be needed on your wedding day and from day 1 with all my questions, Mel responded within a timely manner and eased all my worries. Up to this point, I’ve texted her several times regarding the photos or canvas I’ve ordered and she’s always just so sweet and excited! It always makes you feel special by the end of a conversation. All I have to say is, you get what you pay for. Quality wedding pictures are an investment, but it’s a lifetime investment. And you want to make sure you’re investing in the right person. Mel is that person, and you will have no regrets.

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured.

Mariandree was a real gem to work with! We had originally planned our ceremony and small reception for Dec. 2020, but because of COVID had to make some changes. We kept our outside (super cold) ceremony for that December and Mariandree was more than willing to accommodate, given the circumstances. She was a real trooper out there with us on the freezing Waterfront, and we got some amazing photos back within a week! Mariandree was more than gracious to allow us to reschedule the second half of our photoshoot for September 2021 where we finally got to enjoy a small backyard reception. She brought her sister along as a second photographer for the first round, and her mom for the second. It made it really fun and relaxing because she got along so well with my own mom. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mdree Photography for your wedding! She is organized and makes sure to deliver. She has a really fun, youthful, and thoughtful personality, so expect to really enjoy having her capture your special moments.

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
My husband and I hired Annemarie as our wedding photographer and we couldn't have made a better choice! From the very first email, she was responsive, professional, and friendly. We met Annemarie in-person in October for our engagement shoot, and it was clear from the first interactions that we'd found someone great. She made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and the photographs she took were absolutely stunning (and made for beautiful holiday cards). Prior to our wedding, she made time to visit the venue and make sure she understood where photography was permitted. On the day of our wedding, Annemarie arrived early with her assistant. Even though the venue was behind schedule with set-up and I was somewhat stressed, Annemarie was calm and reassuring that everything would go fine. She took stunning photographs of all kinds of details (our invitations, the rings, the flowers etc.) and also managed to get photos of our families (including 2 children and 2 babies). We were absolutely thrilled with Annemarie's artistry and we would hire her again in a heartbeat. :-)

I had a great experience with Jon and would highly recommend his services to others that are looking to hire a photographer for a surprise proposal. I contacted Jon through his website less than three weeks before I was planning to propose. I received a response within a few hours, had a call with him to work out the details within a few days. Jon had great suggestions for my proposal plan and was able to provide example images of other proposals he had captured at various locations. The examples he provided were very helpful in my planning and gave me assurance as to what the final product would look like. Jon contacted me the week of the proposal to confirm final details and was responsive via text the day of. He was prompt and was at the location at the planned time. Initially was hidden in the background allowing the proposal to still feel intimate and private. He captured great pictures of the proposal, and you would have no idea other people were in the area by looking at the final pictures. Jon exceeded expectations in capturing photos after the proposal. He provided clear instructions and the photos turned out great. The photos were made available to us online within hours which made it easy to share with family and friends. Overall, Jon was responsive, easy to work with, and captured high quality photos of a very special moment.

It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam has been a videographer at a wedding that I photographed before. It's so hard sometimes to communicate and mesh well with other vendors while working a wedding where there are so many moving parts and a timeline to stick to. Sam made that part easy! We got on the same page quickly and helped each other with shots the others wanted to get. Never got into each other's way and the entire day, start to finish it ran smoothly. I wish all videographers worked this well with fellow vendors. Makes the couples experience even better!

We couldn’t be happier with how she was able to perfectly capture our joy, love and the beautiful surroundings. We really appreciated how she went above and beyond to get the perfect shot/angle, scrambling up stairs, hiding in trees, pre-visiting our venue to scope out spots, and working SO hard for such a long time. She recommended poses and reviewed our photos list the week before, which helped make sure we didn’t miss anything :) She also did SUCH a great job arranging our flat lay photos, helping organize family photos and jumping in to capture candid photos throughout the night! Not to mention, we got our photos back quickly and there were so many! She is responsive, helpful and truly a pleasure to work with.

There are not enough words, love and gratitude to express my experience with Sienna. Every step of the way with planning my boudoir shoot and wedding photography she was positive, professional, thoughtful, gracious and easy to work with. She was able to make myself and my husband comfortable and captured amazing photos of our important day. We were so blessed to have Sienna to capture our day and can’t wait for her to capture more special moments in the future.

Jamaal (J. McKenzie) has been described as an ever-evolving romantic, a perfectionist and a serial creative. With a perspective deeply rooted in expressive art-forms such as musicianship & spoken word, Jamaal approaches every story with an unwavering respect and veneration for each moment. Bred in Brooklyn, New York and tempered in a variety of cities across the vast United States and South America, Jamaal brings a familiar, yet fine-tuned touch, lodging echoes of that vastness in every image. 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!
