Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

We started with an engagement shoot to get to know him, which I highly recommend. Throughout the process he was a great communicator, and always helped with any questions. When it came to the wedding day he was super organized, and stayed on our timeline which was great. Most importantly, the pictures are beautiful!! 10/10

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

There are only good things to say about working with Maggie! We booked her for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding day. During the engagement session, she captured some true gems by helping us stay comfortable and true to ourselves. Leading up to our wedding day she was communicative, made sure she understood what our vision/priorities were, and worked well with our planner. On our wedding day, she was so fun to work with, got some beautiful shots of the big moments, and some incredible shots of little ones, too. Even just in our sneak peaks from our wedding, there are so many lovely candids amidst well-placed staged family/couple shots. She has great vision and good ideas and is fun to be around for the process! Regardless, her work speaks for itself. We highly recommend booking Maggie for your engagement and wedding photos!!

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!

Hi! I'm Carly. ​ I am a Northern Virginia based photographer who combines film and digital photography to create romantic and artistic images that will still be loved in 30 years. As a photographer and a girl who has been a bride herself, I know how important it is to hire someone you trust to document your wedding day. It's more than just an 8 hour day. It's personal. It's catching the in between moments and freezing them in photos...like his reaction when he sees you in your dress for the first time. If you are looking for a wedding photography experience that is full of value and attention to detail, you are in the right place!

Vintage film-inspired family, boudoir, & wedding photography for passionate, creative people. Located in Frederick, Maryland, available worldwide. Hi, I'm Leigh Anne! As a kid, I never imagined myself as a photographer. I always wanted to be a teacher, but I loved looking through my parents' shoeboxes full of prints and developed a passion for photography. Those vintage photographs inspired the editing style that I use today.

Leigh Anne captured our day exactly how we wanted to remember it; magical, beautiful and fun. Despite being camera-shy and perpetually self-conscious, she made posing feel natural and even made it FUN! She brings a fun and light-hearted energy to the room and made our experience with her a memorable one. Her work is gorgeous, her talent is unmatched and we can't wait to book her for our future photography needs! We will be forever recommending her to everyone we know.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3
