Hi! I’m Trevaughn Smith (he/him), a published queer wedding & portrait photographer based in the DC, Maryland & Virginia area. I’ve made it my life’s work to become a visual storyteller for couples who value authenticity, individuality, and non-traditional love stories. I’m great at blending into the background and capturing honest, unscripted moments – the kind that reflect your real connection. Whether you’re exchanging vows on an LGBTQ+-owned farm, having a small gathering at a Michelin-star restaurant, or celebrating love at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, I’ll be there to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Trevaughn, we knew he was the perfect person to bring all of the pieces of our wedding vision together. We’ve had the opportunity to plan and shoot with him before as he helped my husband plan a surprise proposal shoot at DC’s Minetta Tavern. From his unmatched skill behind the camera to his kind and thoughtful direction that highlighted our family and friends so beautifully, he exceeded all of our expectations and left a wonderful lasting impression on everyone he captured. His final product highlighted our casual elopement dinner with such elegance and care, and we’re quick to recommend him to our newly engaged friends without a second thought!

Annemarie Deale Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Westlake, MD

Annemarie Deale is a Washington, D.C. wedding photographer who takes a balanced approach to the way she captures you and yours. With a knack for authentic storytelling, she works to capture a combination of artful, composed imagery and joyful candids that exude the energy and preserve the emotions of your event. She believes deeply that both the aesthetics of your day (which are sure to be stunning) and the spirit of your celebration deserve equal attention and documentation.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Annemarie was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. I was incredibly picky when choosing a photographer and talked to over twenty photographers before deciding on Annemarie. Her calmness, attention to detail, photography style, and clarity in communication made her the perfect photographer for any couple. When I look back on our wedding photos, I feel as if I am reliving the day over and over again because she did such an amazing job capturing the raw, unfiltered, real moments of the day. My husband does not love poised photographs and not only did Annemarie get him to do it, she was also able to beautifully capture the little moments in between. Annemarie was respectful, kind to our guests, and ensured every photograph I wanted was captured (and even was able to photoshop a photo or two that I forgot in the craziness!). She went above and beyond for our day, staying longer than originally intended and hiring an extra second. I loved working with her and truly could not recommend Annemarie more highly and will be using her services for all future events!

Ivy & Quartz Photography

  • Serves Westlake, MD

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!

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.

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!

I had an incredible experience with Grace as our photographer for a couples photoshoot turned surprise proposal! She was not only sweet but also incredibly creative, suggesting great poses and capturing beautiful moments. Grace took the time to understand our vision as a couple, and her thorough research showed in the stunning results. Plus, she went the extra mile by timing the sunrise for us, ensuring our pictures were absolutely perfect. I can't thank her enough for making our special day even more memorable with her talent and dedication. Highly recommend her for any photography needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Lindsay and Greg have been a pleasure to work with so far! My fiance had them there to photograph our proposal and I liked them so much that we booked them for our engagement and wedding sessions as well. We are both slower to open up type of people and Lindsay and Greg have been really easy to talk to. We didn't feel awkward and were comfortable with them. We have some beautiful photos and everyone has complimented their work. I can be anxious, but Lindsay has been really easy to work with. She has a calm presence and I really like how she's set me at ease! Lindsay and Greg targeted their work to match things that we wanted to incorporate. I shared some Pinterest images with Lindsay and she saved them and actually posed us in them during our session! I offhandedly mentioned one of my favorite shots from our proposal during our engagement shoot and they came up with something so cute to do that matched the vibe of that right then and there! I also was honest with Lindsay about poses I didn't like up front and she made sure to pose me in a way that I felt like allowed me to be more confident and comfortable. We can't wait to see what they can do at our wedding!

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. Natalie didn’t just document our day, she felt it with us. We’re so grateful for the care and artistry she brought to every frame. These are photos we’ll cherish for a lifetime, and so much of that is because of who she is behind the camera.

HI, I AM FARISS the photographer, Speaks 4 languages (English, French, Arabic, and a little Spanish), the guy behind Fariss Photography. Based in Fairfax County VA, work in the DMV Area -- DC, Virginia, Maryland. I have a passion for taking beautiful, natural, professional photos, and enjoy helping people look their best in front of the camera, capturing that perfect, special moment, and creating a memory that will last a lifetime.

Fariss Photography was absolutely amazing! Fariss and his team were so approachable, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. They captured every moment — not just the formal poses, but also the beautiful candid shots that truly tell the story of our wedding. We had over 200 guests, and somehow, he managed to capture everyone — every smile, every emotion, every detail. From the decorations to the laughter and even the tears, every part of our special day was preserved so beautifully. Our wedding included both the traditional ceremony and the melse, held on two different days with two different receptions — and Fariss handled it all flawlessly. Capturing the essence of a traditional wedding can be challenging, but he understood exactly what mattered most to our family and got it all 100%. These are by far the best wedding photos we could have ever asked for. Fariss went above and beyond, always with a smile on his face. If we could give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would!

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!

She wished me a happy wedding day the morning of and even the week before. Our pictures are beyond beautiful. I’m really so happy with all of them. The lighting was perfect.

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we LOVE our photos. She truly captured the emotions of the day and the essence of all the people we love the most. Any time i look at our photos, i find myself involuntarily smiling. She captured the classic posed photos AND the precious in-between moments where people are being their most authentic selves (the face my dad makes when he's really intently listening, the hand gestures my mom uses when she's explaining something and can't find the right words, the face my mother in law makes when she's cracking herself up, the face my father in law makes right before the tears fall, and so so many more). Not ONLY are her photos amazing, but she made us feel so relaxed on the day-of. Her style is totally unobtrusive, which is just what we needed. Darcy got such amazing photos of all our guests we put 4x6" prints in our thank you cards and people were SO appreciative. She's on fridges across America. Comments we've gotten in response to Darcy's photos: "WOW your photographer is phenomenal", "this is the best photo of us in existence", "you guys look so happy!", "I feel like the photographer really captured your personalities" If capturing joy is important to you, hire Darcy. My only regret is getting her for 7 hours instead of 9.

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!

She answered countless questions and coordinated seamlessly with us and our other vendors. When the day of the wedding came, she was on time, kept to the schedule, and was just fun to be around. Many of the members of our wedding party told us how much they liked Aimee and her assistant. During the actual party, they blended in so much that I honestly forgot they were there! She really went the extra mile for us. After the wedding, she continued to answer questions for us as we designed and ordered our album. She captured exactly the look we were going for. Aimee is a great person and a great photographer. We can't recommend her enough!

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.

Hi, its Jessica, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Virginia. My clients are so special that they find themselves a friend for a lifetime, not just another wedding vendor. I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

Jessica is AMAZING, we hired her for our wedding and also did the engagement pictures with her. I am brazilian and since she is also I thought maybe my now husband would be a little uncomfortable taking the pictures but no way, not with Jessica, the way she makes everything seems so smooth and simple makes you think you are spending a good afternoon with a friend! And her work is definitely THE BEST! On my wedding day she managed to speak both languages with my family and my guests and took so much amazing pictures that now is hard to choose! Everyone loved her job and she sent the pictures so fast that I was really impressed! From now one my dates for events with pictures will depend on her agenda. I can’t wait for the next sessions of her capturing our love!
