I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Hi there! I’m Sharon! I am a long-time professional photographer, a former award-winning photojournalist, and an official photographer for the Canadian Embassy. I love photographing weddings and I provide beautiful, bold, and romantic images for my couples to treasure forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sharon! From our very first meeting, she demonstrated an incredible attention to detail and thoroughness that put my anxious bride-heart at ease. Together, we created a detailed shot list with us beforehand, scouted our venue for the best photo opportunities, and somehow managed to capture every meaningful moment of our special. Her mastery of natural lighting was absolutely magical. The venue had challenging lighting, but Sharon brought everything we needed to capture all skin tones! Even at the reception, she knew exactly how to work with the existing light to create warm, flattering portraits that made everyone look their absolute best. What truly sets her apart is her tenacity to get "the shot." The final gallery exceeded our wildest expectations - a perfect blend of posed portraits, candid emotional moments, and artistic detail shots that tell the complete story of our wedding day. And here's the sweetest bonus - she made us cookies! She showed up to our final gallery reveal with chocolate chip cookies and gifted us with several photos done on metal. Talk about going above and beyond!

I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

Aimee is an absolute delight to work with. She is professional, organized, empathetic, forward thinking and all around fun.

We regularly revisit her beautiful photos of our day because they captured our families, friends and relationship so perfectly. She caught all of the moments that mattered - big and small. Her eye for light is incredible. We were grateful that she was willing to travel to be with us.

Natalie Estess Photography

Washington, DC
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,500

Natalie Estess is a Washington DC-based wedding and portrait photographer specialized in creating dreamy, artful images that celebrate human connection and individuality. With a blend of editorial flare and heartfelt storytelling, Natalie creates photographs that are genuine, alive, and uniquely reflective of the people in front of her lens. If you're dreaming of a day that truly honors who you are and what matters most to you, you've come to the right place!

Natalie shot my engagement photos and they were everything I could have hoped for and more. The proposal was a total surprise, and I still can't believe how well they came out and how seamlessly she captured even the initial moments given how unprepared I was! Not only were the photos amazing (and sent to us on a super quick turnaround, even though it was over the holidays) but she also gave so much helpful guidance and was such a calming presence throughout the shoot. I am not always naturally good at posing and was very nervous, but she gave very clear direction and really put me at ease so that the best moments she captured were really natural ones. Our photoshoot was at the National Portrait Gallery, so she also worked closely with my fiancée to find lots of different art and settings throughout the museum —looking back at the photos now I can really see how her artistry and vision came to life! She expertly worked with the art to use dynamic angles and perspectives that were unique and gave us a lot of options. We also took a few pictures at the Christmas market outside the gallery, and even those came out amazing, which is so impressive considering it was PACKED and we could barely move! It’s hard to put into words how much it means to have such a special time preserved so beautifully. Since I was so surprised, a lot of the day went by in a blur, and I’m so thankful to be able to relive it again and again through the photos. I couldn’t stop crying when we got them and have gotten ENDLESS compliments since posting them on social! WE LOVE NATALIE!!

Making personal connection with you is important to me. I believe in serving couples from every background and the more I learn about you the better I can serve you as your wedding photographer. I currently reside in DC but have also living in LA, The Bay Area, and Morocco.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

We did an engagement shoot with Barbora and we couldn’t be more pleased with the photos and QUICK turnaround! We were new to photoshoots, and Barbora kindly guided us through the process, telling us exactly where to stand and how to pose. The poses weren’t overly rigid though, she gave us prompts that helped us get into poses more naturally. She was so fun to work with and we had a great time and great conversation. All the photos in the gallery she curated were bright, beautifully composed, and professional. We can’t wait to work with her again!

Jennifer and her husband were our photographers for our wedding earlier in December and we could not have been happier with our choice. They helped so much throughout the planning process and with developing the timeline and were incredibly quick and efficient responding to my many emails.

Where do I even begin with this review?! Jennifer has been an absolute gift to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and now that we just go our sneak peeks back, we know we made the right choice with her! We did not use Jennifer for our engagement pictures, so I knew I was taking a risk when hiring her as our wedding day photographer. I was confident with what I saw on social media and our email correspondence ensured me that she would make a great fit for us. She was communicative along the entire way and was intentional when asking for our shot list. On the day of, it was very clear that she was very purposeful in capturing all of my preferred shots and made a dedicated effort to be present for each moment of the day. Jennifer was very professional and both her and her second shooter, Alex, found fun and creative ways to capture unique imagery from our ceremony and reception. She was attentive to our needs as a couple, made lots of great photo recommendations, and did not push us to do any pictures/poses we weren't into. Jennifer knew we wanted to be a part of cocktail hour and was happy to accommodate all of our formal pictures before the ceremony. She was discreet during the ceremony and captured lots of wonderful group shots at the reception. A week before the event she was happy to add on a few additional hours from our original contract. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Sam is a truly talented one of a kind artist, and yet you won’t find the kind of ego you’d expect to with someone like that. Instead he’s warm, accommodating and a true team player. My team LOVES working with the guy. That is all.

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Cassidy has an amazing report when working with clients and the staff on weddings. We have absolutely had the best experiences from the booking process, through to the ease of the day of the wedding. Always being great at transitioning the clients, bringing smiles to their faces and then producing beautiful imagery. We have loved working with Cassidy for the last 8 years and know that he bring professionalism, a unique perspective, and humor to ever wedding day.

Nicole and Jose of Bokeh Lane Photography are simply wonderful! So energetic and creative! They shot our engagement session and are slated to shoot our wedding whenever COVID allows for that. We wanted a photographer that has a great eye for candid shots and heard about these two from a friend who had their engagement and wedding shot by them. My friend’s pictures were beautiful, so I reached out to Nicole and Jose. They helped us with every step of the process, even with picking out outfits before the shoot. They’re kind and professional and just so easy to work with. I am not used to being in front of the camera, whereas my fiance is a natural in front of the camera. I told them that up front and they made sure to make me feel comfortable while just letting my fiance be himself, and the pictures came out so great! They are highly responsive as far as communication goes and prices are extremely reasonable for such high quality work. Highly highly recommend!
