Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

David captured the beauty of our wedding day with their expertly edited and stunning photographs.

While we didn't have Ashley and Camden (the owners) for our big day, their team was incredible.

Stephanie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and on top of it. She and her second photographer struck the perfect balance of being professional and efficient while also feeling like casual friends, which made the entire experience feel natural and fun. My husband and I felt totally comfortable with her guidance and direction during photos, and she made the whole process so easy, even with unpredictable weather and changing light. She adapted quickly and found the perfect locations around our venue to make sure we got the best possible shots. We were so excited to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning. The quality was flawless and just captured the beauty of our day. She also did our engagement session, and those remain some of our favorite photos ever (other than the wedding, of course).

Hello! My name is Chayil (pronounced just like Kyle), and I am a photographer and creative storyteller with a focus on weddings, elopements, and lifestyle portraits. Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even begin to write a review that expresses how obsessed I am with the photos and service we received from Chayil McGlotten, she truly knocked it out of the park. Chayil’s positive energy and friendly personality brings exactly the tone you need for your day. You could not find a better photographer if you’re looking for true to color, gorgeous photos, showcasing the love and story of the day, all while she also acts as the best hype woman you could ask for. I cannot recommend her and her team at Black Pepper Photography enough. We did our engagement photos at our venue, which ended up being on a fairly dreary day, but Chayil’s amazing skills still managed to highlight the beauty of the location and our excitement. She is incredibly easy to work with, quickly making us comfortable (especially my husband who is not a huge fan of taking pictures) by alternating smoothly between suggesting poses and taking candid photos if we were naturally in a good position. It was so hard to pick just a few photos for our Save the Dates when we received so many, despite having booked just a 30 minute session. On the wedding day, Chayil arrived with amazing energy, helping ease my nerves about the timeline and making sure I got every photo I wanted and then some! She also brought the videographer, who made the most stunning wedding video highlighting our special day. We have received our sneak peaks, and every photo is better than the last, they are all so flattering and gorgeous. Black Pepper Photography documented our day better than I could have ever dared to dream - thank you!!!

Being behind the camera isn’t just about clicking a button and editing a photo and delivering it. It’s about making sure you capture each and every detail even if the couple doesn’t realize it. I’ve become passionate in what I do because I love the smiles that it puts on people’s faces and the happy tears that stream down their face when I deliver the most beautiful album that they get to hold on to for the rest of their lives. True love is real. Capturing my couples is like bringing a romance novel to life.

she aced my senior session! I am beyond obsessed with the pics even years later. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and she is such a fun bubbly person! you will not be disappointed with your results at all

Erinne and her second shooter did an amazing job capturing everything and corralling my large family for portraits, as well as our wild bunch during dance time. I will forever treasure the images she captured and want to print them all if that tells you anything! It’s amazing how they captured so many moments during such a busy and quick day.

When looking through your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years, you want each photo to spark a dozen timeless memories – like the chill of the autumn air, the way your dress swung to and fro, how your grandma couldn’t stop smiling the whole night, the taste of your new spouse’s lips, and countless more. You’re looking for true and honest evidence that brings you back and steadies you in these fleeting moments. You want to freeze your day just how it is and cherish it forever. Hey, I'm Jess! You're in the right place.

From the moment we first spoke, Jessica was so inviting, thoughtful, and professional. She was always timely in her communication and provided valuable insight on how to enhance the wedding experience and perspective through photography. When we first met at the engagement shoot and all the way through the wedding day, Jessica made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and genuinely seemed excited to be a part of our special day(s).

I’m Hadley Chittum (she/they), a documentary photographer based in Richmond, Virginia working for publications like the Guardian, New York Times, Teen Vogue, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and more. I started Lover Pics out of a desire to photograph more intimate stories and to document human connection. Because of my photojournalism background, I prefer to photograph weddings by sitting back and letting the action unfold. My process and style will work best for a couple that wants to be present in the moment and not have too many forced, posed photo-ops. But trust I'll always be there with guidance when needed.

Hadley was a wonderful photographer for our special day!! Both posed and candid photos came out beautifully and we love them dearly. Hadley is also a wonderful communicator and a great person to be around! We will definitely ask her to photograph future events.

As time passes I want you to look back through all your photographs and have all of those memories come pouring back into your mind. The moments of love, celebration, joy, the stuff you never want to forget. I'm here to help you cherish your once-in-a-lifetime love story, and celebrate your greatest achievements, and adventures! I want to celebrate it all with you!

We booked Colleen to do a wedding redo shoot 2 years after a hurricane swept through our wedding day. Due to a few different issues with our original photographer, we decided to change gears after Colleen was recommended to us by a good friend. Off the bat, Colleen was super flexible to schedule with and seemed so excited about our vision! During our shoot, Colleen made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Something I appreciated so much was that she made sure to place emphasis on the things she knew would matter to me- for instance, she asked me if I have a “good side”, fixed my hair and necklace between takes, made sure my dress was lying appropriately, and gave flawless posing direction. Initially I was nervous that Colleen would think my wishes to be unachievable; however, she delivered everything I wanted- and then some! Colleen gave us more photos in a (less than) 2hr shoot than our wedding photographer gave us in a 12hr day. Her photos captured my exact vision- artistic, romantic, seductive, modern- all tied in a beautiful Christmas bow! Something else worth mentioning- Colleen left our shoot and *immediately* began working on edits. We were sent multiple sneak peaks DAY OF, and dozens more the following day! Entire album was completed with hundreds of shots by 10 days out. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience with Colleen and these photos that we can cherish for years. Thank you Colleen!

Stop performing for your wedding photos. Most couples worry their wedding will feel like one long, awkward photoshoot. I believe you should be the guest of honor, not the subject of a performance. I’m PJ, your Richmond-based "friend with cameras," and I protect your space so you can focus on the loud laughter and unscripted magic while I capture it all in a way that is vibrant, bold, and unmistakably you. With over 200 weddings captured since 2009, I’ll make sure your day feels easy and your gallery feels honest. Message me here on Zola to see if I’m free for your adventure!

PJ was great to work with leading up to and during our big day. His process is very natural, very laid back and unobtrusive. We chose PJ based on the cool intensity of his work, and he did not disappoint. And while I feel like a fish out of water in front of a camera, he captured such amazing shots that will memorialize our special day for a lifetime. My husband and I highly recommend PJ and would love to work with him again in the future!

My greatest joy as a photographer is making sure you can relive your wedding or elopement day exactly as it felt - every laugh, every tear, every piece of love, and all the little in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours. I focus on capturing your day naturally, with documentary taking center stage and just a few gentle prompts for the portraits you’ll treasure forever. My goal is for you to feel completely present—celebrating with your people, soaking in the love, and enjoying every second—while I quietly capture it all.

The photos you took are AMAZING! Especially the exit - blew me away we are so lucky you were there!!!!!
