About Dakotah Van Doran Photo & Video

Dakotah Van Doran Photo & Video

We're Jim & Dakotah - a Virginia Beach-based husband and wife photographer/videographer duo. We specialize in delivering elevated-edgy imagery to wedding couples that seek something a little more dramatic and polished.

Both our photo and video work lean heavily into editorial-inspired posing and lighting, so you end up feeling (and looking) like you belong in the pages of a fashion magazine centerfold. We're definitely not your mom's recommended photographer as you won't catch us delivering corny, awkward images - just stunning, elegant photo and video that continuously captivates in the coming decades of your love story.

    Doran Photo & Video has been an absolute pleasure to work with as a Makeup Artist at numerous weddings. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to capturing every special moment are truly commendable. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos and videos, Doran Photo & Video goes above and beyond to ensure client satisfaction. Their team is not only talented but also incredibly friendly and easy to collaborate with, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I have been consistently impressed with the quality of their work, from the stunning portraits to the candid shots that capture the emotions of the day perfectly. They have a keen eye for composition and lighting, which results in breathtaking images and videos that truly stand out. I highly recommend Doran Photo & Video to anyone looking for a professional and reliable photography and videography team for their special day. Working with them has been a pleasure, and I look forward to collaborating with them again in the future.

    Dakotah and Jim wow wow wow!! From our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, and videography absolute perfection. I personally love the camera but my husband needs and wants a little direction. Dakotah delivers!!! She will guide you through posing to make your photos come out even better than you could imagine. I can honestly say I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Her photography style is like no other I have seen in the Hampton roads area and I could not be happier that we went with her! She was the perfect fit for us and so patient with us, our wedding party and our families. The videography!!! Good grief amazing would be an understatement I cannot stop watching our preview video. Jim and Dakotah are just an amazing team their praise truly cannot be put into words!
