I’m LINDSAY, the owner & main photographer of Lindsay Mack Photography. I am based out of Warrenton, Virginia. And I am bit of a sucker for real, authentic, passionate love. When I shoot your wedding, I want you to remember each moment, vividly. I want you to relive that first moment when your Dad saw you in your dress.

ALL OF IT. I am here to serve you, to work along side you and to capture those once in a life time feels.

“Lindsay is a true pro! She helped organize an 8 hour styled shoot for my new farm wedding venue and knocked it out of the park. She has a wonderful way of making everyone feel super comfortable, she seamlessly managed two different sets of brides/grooms, additional models, flower girls, hair/makeup scenes, ceremonies and receptions while capturing every aspect of my 40 acre farm in the process. I can't recommend her enough and she will be at the top of my preferred vendors list as one of the best photographers in the region!”

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 fell in love with capturing weddings in 2017 and I have been hooked ever since!

“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.”

Ivy & Quartz Photography

Photojournalistic style
Starts at $3,750
Serves Germantown, 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.

“After friends shared a photo of my then fiance and me at their own wedding, we hired the photographer who took it. This was Nina! That one photo inspired us to review the gallery of their entire wedding and then her portfolio and we were blown away. 7 months later our own wedding day arrived. My husband and I are the type of people who are wildly present and constantly forget to take photographs of our life together. We knew we wanted to capture this day without the photography becoming a chore or hindering our ability to do what we do best and enjoy our time. Nina was able to provide just that and was incredible (as was the second photographer she worked with for our big day). Nina seamlessly handled all the chaotic moments and pre-ceremony stress of the very emotional bride (me) in stride! With very little direction she navigated all aspects of a wedding day with absolute poise and grace. I cannot thank her enough for taking on such leadership and just GETTING IT DONE! Nina captured all the big and tiny pieces that go into a wedding and I felt her photo choices, angles, and poses perfectly captured the essence of me and my husband's personalities. At every avenue Nina was a professional, personable, and I never expected I could be so satisfied with a collection of photographs. THANK YOU SO MUCH 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.

“From the moment we met Cesario, we knew he would be our photographer. He immediately felt like a friend vs. another vendor. He instilled so much confidence in us leading up to our wedding day. He was very clear and efficient with communication. He let us ask for what we wanted while also guiding us toward other fun creative ideas. On the day of our wedding, he and Paul were amazing to work with. Great vibes, controlled time well and captured the true essence of our wedding. Finally, the pictures were STUNNING. My wife and I haven't stopped looking at them. I would 100% recommend Cesario to anyone looking to capture their most treasured memories and hope that we get to work with him again in the future. Thank you!”

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!

“Grace shot our engagement and wedding and was so easy to work with! She was so flexible and worked hard to make sure my husband and I didn’t feel too awkward taking professional photographs for the the first time.

Love, Lomax Studios is a premier wedding photography company based in Northern Virginia. Founded and led by Karisa Lomax, we proudly serve couples throughout the DC metro area, Tampa Bay Area, & beyond. Our guiding philosophy, "capturing today for the sake of tomorrow," reflects our commitment to intentional, thoughtful photography. Every photo is approached with care and purpose. Our aim is to offer couples a unique perspective, showcasing the beauty of their special day through detailed compositions & genuine emotions—while ensuring that the entire experience remains enjoyable & relaxed for everyone involved!

“Our experience with Karisa at Love, Lomax Studios was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Before we booked her, she eased all our anxieties by having a call with us to better understand our vision, explain how she works, and what we could expect from the relationship. One thing we really appreciated was how clear her pricing was. Nothing made me more anxious that reaching out to a vendor and having no clue what the financial commitment might be. With Love, Lomax Studios, we could see up front what the cost would be and everything a package included. My husband and I went for the "capturing everything" package and it was everything we could have wanted and more. Karisa was so easy to work with- both in person for the engagement shoot and then wedding, but also offered the perfect amount of communication before and after the shoots. Her communication style is clear, loving and friendly, and concise. We felt supported by her, in a way I hadn't even expected from a photographer, and she was so fun and game to try goofy shots we had in mind. I also had my makeup artist comment on how professional she was, knowing exactly how to work around the other vendors onsite, in a way that apparently isn't always the case with other photographers. Not only is Karisa a delight to work with, but she is extremely skilled and her photographs are AMAZING. Every single person who seems them can't help but gush over them. Karisa has such an eye for capturing intimate, beautiful, and real moments. It made choosing photos for our album so hard, but of course Karisa stepped in to help us there too! I could go on, but in all hiring Love, Lomax Studios was once of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others in the area. Thank you so much, Karisa!”

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.

“Working with Villa was one of the best choices we made as part of wedding planning. During the initial planning, she was responsive, thoughtful, and considerate of our vision. She understands that most people have never planned a wedding before helped us not only plan photos, but reorganize our reception to flow better. My husband and I are very photo shy, enough so that we debated on whether or not to even hire a photographer for the wedding. Villa was so great at directing interesting, natural poses that didn't feel forced or awkward in the moment. We opt-ed not to do an engagement shoot, but if we had to do it all over again, we absolutely would with Villa. During day of, Villa was extremely detailed and organized. She arrived early to the venue to capture photos and understand the space overall. She was very good about taking photos in a way that didn't interrupt the flow of events while navigating a fairly large and irregularly shaped venue. We received a great blend of editorial and photo-journalistic images that really captured the day beautifully. She has a great eye for wide shots, close up details, and artistic framing. Our wedding day started on a sunny day at noon and ended in the evening. Villa shot great photos throughout all the lighting changes during the day including many flash photography and low light shots after the sun had set. We had a great experience sharing our wedding day with Villa and think you would too!”

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.

“The minute my fiancée and I found Chris (via a wedding photog friend who was unavailable for our date) I told him that I was a former wedding vendor myself, I know how the sausage gets made, and I just wanted him to be real with me. He totally got that and took it to heart. He went above and beyond to help us sort out another photog for part of our wedding experience when some of our plans had to change and I really appreciated his communication throughout the process. He made it fun and was easy to work with, was amenable to capturing my preferred "good side" and ending up sending us some truly amazing photos. I'm not the world's most photogenic person, and he did such a great job of sorting through snaps of (what I assume were) hundreds of double chins and closed eyes - he sent us a set of final photos in which I felt like I looked pretty in every single one and our joy just really shines through. 10 out of 10, would hire again!”

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!”

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.

“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.”

Greetings, I am Tigran Markaryan, accompanied by my wife, Evgeniya. As an Armenian immigrant who relocated to the United States nearly two decades ago, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography since 2011, having beautifully documented over 300 celebrations. Recently, I bid farewell to Calypso Digital and embraced a fresh chapter with Daydream Romance. My passion lies in the photojournalistic approach, as I find immense joy in capturing the essence and energy of people. As I explore more destination weddings, I still mainly work in the DMV area. Stop by at out Insta and reach out with any questions ❤

“Tigran was so easy to work with from day one! He took our engagement photos and wedding photos and they all turned out so beautifully. He had a wonderful vision for each moment and was so lovely to all of our friends and family. He is a true artist and we couldn’t recommend highly enough!”

Hi! I’m Trevaughn Smith (he/him), a published queer wedding & portrait photographer based in the DC, Maryland & Virginia area. A hopeless romantic with a camera, I’ve made it my life’s work to become a visual storyteller for couples who value authenticity, individuality, and non-traditional love stories. Trained as a photojournalist, 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 or celebrating love at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, I’ll be there to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

“Loved working with Trevaughn! He has a great eye for amazing photos & really goes above and beyond for everyone he works with.”

I'm Aimee, and I believe in wedding photos lasting forever and telling your story in a way that spans across generations. Your story might be a civil ceremony with a rainbow chuppah, just the three of us and a witness on your front porch, a gorgeous celebration with your overflowing circle of friends + family, or a traditional church ceremony like the one your parents had 40 years ago. Whatever it is, we want to capture and preserve the moments that make it special to you.

“If you're looking for your wedding or engagement photographer, your search is over. The moment I saw Aimee's photography, I knew I had to hire her to capture our engagement shoot and wedding. My husband and I don't consider ourselves to be naturals in front of the camera, but Aimee is a superstar at posing us without feeling like we're posing. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Not only is Aimee amazing behind the camera, she's incredibly organized and great at communicating. She send us a form to fill out for the family formal pictures at our wedding so we were able to get through all the iterations of family photos in a breeze. She was also very quick at responding to any questions I had leading up to our wedding day. Aimee was able to capture every important moment of our wedding day. I love looking back at our photos because Aimee captured the joy and excitement on our faces and the faces of our guests perfectly. I'm so happy to have these photos I can look back on and remember exactly how I was feeling in the moment. I truly hope we have another opportunity to work with Aimee again in the future!”
