Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Melinda was an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire process. We first met her for our engagement photos, which gave us the chance to get to know her and feel more comfortable together before the big day. By the time our wedding arrived, it was clear that her vision perfectly aligned with everything we had hoped for—it was truly perfect. Melinda (and her day of team) were incredibly professional, warm, and wonderful with all of our guests. We honestly can’t imagine our day without her. The photos we’ve seen so far are stunning, and we’re so excited to see the rest!

We had the most incredible experience with Geneva for our destination engagement session in California! We absolutely love the West Coast and wanted something unique for our photos, so we flew out to California and brought Geneva along to capture us on a stunning beach. From the moment we started, Geneva made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She gave great direction while still allowing us to be ourselves, making the entire session feel natural and fun. Before our session, Geneva sent us a thoughtful engagement questionnaire to learn more about us, which made a huge difference during the shoot. It felt like she truly understood our personalities and what we wanted from our photos. We can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a wedding photographer—her work is timeless, and we were so happy with the results.

Katie was amazing to work with! Our wedding was on 10/11. We met with her once before when we first booked to share about our event. She asked great questions and genuinely wanted to get to know us. On the big day, she helped us feel at ease in front of the camera and captured who we are for both the formal shots as well as the more real candid moments. She is incredibly kind, knowledgable about her craft, and professional. She delivered photos in a timely manner and we even got a few sneak peeks a few days after the wedding. Our family and friends loved the photos and we couldn't be more happy with the results. And as a queer couple, finding vendors that are accepting and lead with love can be a challenge- we felt totally free to be ourselves which made everything even more special. Thank you Katie!

  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Gainesville, VA

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

When my husband and I began looking for photographers, we looked at many different photographers portfolios and Rob’s stuck out the most. The way he was able to capture couples weddings from start to finish in such a way that told the story was truly amazing. When we spoke with Rob and found out his pricing, my husband and I were a bit hesitant to spend so much on a wedding photographer, but I can say without a doubt that out of every vendor we booked for our wedding, Rob is the one who was worth every single penny. He truly was able to capture our wedding day in a way that brought us tears of joy. If we had to do our entire wedding over again he’d be the first on our list to book! From talking before the booking process to the photo reveal, it was such a smooth process and he made the whole thing feel magical. If you can, book Rob because he will absolutely do what you want and more!

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

Brandon, from the start, made it clear that his focus was to capture our big day the way we wanted to remember it. He worked hard to get to know the two of us as a couple and our style through the engagement shoot. When our wedding day arrived, he came inspired and prepared. Along with his assistant, Brandon made sure to get all of the best angles of the day and made sure to capture the emotion and ambiance as well. He knew we were game for some adventurous shots and he managed to create some truly magical moments that illustrated the romance and individuality of the evening. He worked flawlessly with our videographer and even outperformed our wedding coordinator in keeping us on track with all of the after-dinner events. We are SO infinitely grateful for his presence at our ceremony!! We can't recommend him enough.

I’m AnaGabriele (Ana), and the owner of Unearthed Photographical! My partner and I have been photographing weddings since 2016, when two upcoming brides I’d gone to high school with, saw that I was still taking photos and asked me to photograph their big days! Those two events made me realize how much I absolutely love wedding photography. Since then, we’ve honed in on our craft, learning how to make the process as smooth as possible for all of our clients. We love riding out on the Harley, crafting, and hanging out with our toddlers.

I met Ana through my sister-in-law. She was her wedding photographer in 2019 and when I saw Ana’s photos I was drawn to her style. Unearthed Photographical did mine and my husbands engagement photos as well as both (thank you covid) of our weddings! Ana was very flexible when the pandemic turned my wedding plans upside down. She is a pleasure to work with and tries her best to please her costumers!
