I cannot say enough good things about our photographer/videographer from sound originals. Our photographer was on it. She paid attention to details, she hyped us all up and never made us feel awkward, communication was excellent, she even helped me put my veil on. Above all else the photographs she captured exceeded every expectation I had. I am the kind of person to take a million pictures of myself and hate them all, but I looked beautiful in every picture. My confidence after seeing those pictures has skyrocketed. She was a true gem of a human, the sidekick every bride needs. She knew when I had enough of posing for photos and wanted to get back to the party, and she never made us feel bad about it at all. I wish for every bride to have an amazing team behind them and just know if you choose to go with sound originals, you will.

Lotus Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Franconia, VA

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I captured my first wedding in 2016 and I was instantly in love with being a wedding photographer!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lotus Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Georgette showed a true empathy for our vision and provided thoughtful feedback to help us feel confident in our decisions. She was incredibly approachable and adaptable, always available for quick chats, texts, and emails. On our wedding day, Georgette was with us from start to finish, ensuring she captured every guest and all of our most intimate moments as a couple. The final photos are absolutely stunning - professional, artistic, timeless, and so authentically us. It's like reliving our special day every time we look through them, and we can't wait to have our favorites printed to hang up all over the house! If you're looking for a photographer who is full of life, energetic, and so much fun to be around, Lotus Photography is the perfect choice.

  • Serves Franconia, VA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t recommend Nina more! All of the photos she took for our August 2025 wedding were absolutely stunning! She was so easy to work with, made us two camera-shy people comfortable throughout everything, and went above and beyond (including visiting our venue which she hadn’t shot at before beforehand to scope out her shots). Thanks again Nina!

  • Photojournalistic style

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.

Cesar was so wonderful to work with, and his photos were AMAZING. He guided us through the process with such care, hustle when needed day-of, kindness and fun with our families as the whole night unfolded. All of our wedding guests have been going gaga over the photos. Everyone enjoyed getting to know him - he blended in just like one of our friends! I only wish we'd had him come for more time!

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Franconia, VA

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was such a pleasure to have Grace as our photographer throughout this wedding journey. We had her shoot our engagement photos (which we loved!) in addition to our wedding. She was very communicative. From the very beginning, she was clear on pricing. She would always work with my schedule when setting up meetings to go over timelines. She even went over every photo with me after the engagement shoot to make sure that we’re all exactly what I was envisioning. On our wedding day she literally went above and beyond for us as well. She brought an assistant with her, as well as some great props and florals to be used in the photos. She did an amazing job sticking with my detailed timeline, getting photos at every location I wanted on property, and did a great job corralling our families during cocktail hour and giving firm and efficient directions so we could get the pictures quickly and they could get back to the fun. She is very knowledgeable about lighting and posing. Thank you so much Grace!

Awarded Best of Zola
Xiao was the photographer for our wedding ceremony, held in a beautiful natural setting by a lake in a regional park in Maryland. Her professionalism and dedication truly shone throughout the entire event. During the ceremony, she captured all the key moments with an incredible eye for detail, ensuring we have stunning memories to cherish. After the vows and ring exchange, Xiao patiently photographed us with our friends and family, taking her time to ensure everyone looked their best. She even went the extra mile, offering creative suggestions for poses and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Right after, she did a solo session with my wife, producing some truly breathtaking photos. What impressed me the most was Xiao’s commitment and quick turnaround. That same evening, she began editing and sent us a preview batch of photos, which allowed us to immediately share them with loved ones. Over the following days, she continued to work on the photos, sending us additional beautiful images in batches. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of her work, and we are so grateful for her thoughtful and professional approach. We highly recommend her, and we wish her and her photography business continued success!

Villa Li Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,990
  • Serves Franconia, VA

I'm a visual enthusiast with a degree in Arts Management. My style is mostly photojournalistic, embracing natural and romantic elements. In each wedding, my aim is to craft something different and unique, capturing a set of storytelling moments that reflect the essence of the day. What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Villa was absolutely incredible. Her presence, artistic eye, and professionalism were evident from the moment I first reached out to her through the final delivery of our photos. We opted out of engagement photos as my husband really doesn’t enjoy photo shoots, so our wedding day was actually the first time we met her, and she immediately made us feel completely at ease. She scouted beautiful locations and found the perfect lighting. We had a brunch wedding which poses a challenge for a photographer with harsh morning light, but Villa came prepared and used the soft reflections and cloudy skies to capture truly stunning images. Before the wedding day, Villa was exceptionally communicative and quick to respond to any questions. She helped create a photography timeline that ended up being invaluable, especially since we were working with a tight morning schedule for our 10:45 a.m. church ceremony. Admittedly I didn’t fully consider the early timelines when I first decided on a brunch reception. On the day of, Villa and her second photographer were phenomenal. She maintained a calm, peaceful presence and guided photos with a thoughtful, artistic approach. She arrived early, was fully prepared, and remained discreet throughout the ceremony. Her turnaround time was also incredibly impressive in just five weeks! We were blown away by the gallery and will cherish these photos forever. I highly, highly recommend Villa for your wedding.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

It can be so nerve-wracking to pick the right photographer for your special day.

From start to finish, Karisa was kind, thoughtful, organized, and so relaxed, which is everything you want on your wedding day! We didn't do an engagement shoot with her, so we weren't sure what to expect, but she made us feel so natural and confident. It was like being photographed by a friend. She made sure to capture all of the details that were important to us, and the pictures are absolutely stunning! We had elderly members of our family who she was incredibly considerate of, and she was quick to make adjustments to our timeline to accommodate their needs without anyone needing to ask her to. At the end of the evening, she went over to each of our vendors and said hello, which shows how incredibly professional she is. Karisa will always be an important part of what made our day so special. We have loved working with her so much, and we can't recommend her enough!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Natalie to capture our wedding day. From the very beginning, her thoughtfulness and warmth put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and that genuine connection showed in every photo. Each one felt like us, not a posed version of someone else’s love story. What stood out most was Natalie’s authenticity and intuitive sense of timing. She captured quiet, in-between moments that we didn’t even realize were happening, moments we now treasure most. Her creative eye is extraordinary; she has a way of playing with light, texture, and emotion that made our photos feel like art without ever losing their realness.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

When reviewing my wedding photos that Chris did, I am continuously grateful that we chose him to do our photography. Not only did the photos come out spectacular, he made us so comfortable throughout the process. Anyone seeing his finished product can see that he’s talented. Yet one misses in the photos is the man behind the camera who truly went out of his way to be a solid rock for a day that can be chaotic at times. He really felt like family during our wedding day and so seamlessly fit in with all our friends and family invited. I would, and have, recommended him again and again to other couples getting married. You won’t regret it.

Hi! I’m Steph, a wedding and lifestyle photographer, and I’m here for the couples who believe in rich colors and wild and care-free love. Based in the DMV, I travel often for weddings and stories in the mid-Atlantic and all over the world: I’ve photographed love from Delhi, India to Bloomington, Indiana, and everywhere in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can not recommend Stephanie enought! From our first meeting, she made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease, allowing us to be our authentic selves. On the wedding day, she provided the perfect amount of direction. Her warm personality and professional demeanor made everything feel effortless. Stephanie didn’t just take photos; she told a story. Her ability to document the love and connection between us, our family, and our friends was remarkable. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable and valued while capturing stunning photos, Stephanie is the one.
