Choosing Timeless Photo Video was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Steve (photographer) , Lia (videographer), Nancy and Kate (the coordinators) and the team were amazing to work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
Megan is amazing! We did our engagement photos with her in Old Town, Alexandria. She did a pre-visit there to check out the spots that would be good ahead of time. She was able to answer any questions I had previous to the shoot, even wardrobe advice:). We were so pleased with how the engagement photos turned out , we decided to book her for our wedding!! It just so happens that Megan also shoots in Rochester, NY, the location of our wedding. It was perfect! The wedding photos were even more amazing! She captured so many perfect moments, I am having such a hard time picking out which photos to print. Megan is very flexible and super helpful in keeping an anxious bride calm. On both days there were rain showers, but thanks to Megan's trusty weather app, she was able to get our engagement shoot done before the storm, as well as assure me the rain would stop by the time we had wedding photos (and it did!). Thanks Megan, I will definitely be calling the next time I am in need of a photographer!

We had the most incredible experience with Geneva for our destination engagement session in California! We absolutely love the West Coast and wanted something unique for our photos, so we flew out to California and brought Geneva along to capture us on a stunning beach.

She gave great direction while still allowing us to be ourselves, making the entire session feel natural and fun. Before our session, Geneva sent us a thoughtful engagement questionnaire to learn more about us, which made a huge difference during the shoot. It felt like she truly understood our personalities and what we wanted from our photos. We can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a wedding photographer—her work is timeless, and we were so happy with the results.

We absolutely loved working with Maria for our engagement and wedding photos! We knew from looking at her portfolio for the first time and after we connected over the phone that we’d found exactly the right person to capture our celebration. From in-person meetings to Zoom syncs, our partnership with Maria immediately felt comfortable and collaborative. Maria brought warmth and her expertise to the table, while we brought our personalities and our vision to capture the vibrance and energy of our wedding day. There are three main elements that I want to highlight from working together with Maria: 1. Our rainy day engagement shoot in Brooklyn - despite us being based in Brooklyn, NY and our wedding venue and Maria both being located in the greater Washington, DC area, Maria made her way up to NYC and graciously did an engagement shoot with us capturing shots in some of our favorite places around Brooklyn. At first we were a bit worried when we saw that rain was in the forecast for our shoot day, but Maria assured us that the rain would only add to the romanticism of the shoot and she was absolutely right and truly delivered great shots. Not only that, she was great at directing us and making us feel relaxed throughout the entire session. 2. Maria’s unique proposal for our wedding day shoot - we connected with Maria nine months prior to our wedding, but she’s a sought after photographer! She was already booked on our wedding date, so she suggested an alternative for us to still be able to leverage her services and her editorial eye: she would suggest another trusted photographer to take raw photos on the day of our wedding, while she would still own all of the planning, coordination, and editing of all of our wedding photos so our images still got the Rise & Roam treatment. 3. Our wedding photos - Maria was highly communicative and phenomenal at making sure she understood what we were looking for in our shots. She made sure that our day-of raw photographer was aligned with our vision as well. (Shoutout to Sarah Mattozzi for being such a great day-of photographer and for partnering with Maria on our unique photography setup! Loved working with Sarah!). Just a few days after our wedding, Maria sent us a bunch of preview photos from the shoot and we were immediately struck by how well they turned out. Once we got the full album drop, we were so happy with all the images!! Maria captured the spirit, energy, and fun that was such a core part of our wedding celebration! Overall, I would highly highly recommend Maria to capture your own special day because she did a phenomenal job on capturing our celebration!

She was also exceptionally kind to take photos at the family farm in addition to the church, for some more scenery. Her work is truly natural, elegant, lifelike, and absolutely beautiful - we were thrilled with the final photos that captured all the special moments of our day, including our first look at the altar. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our picture taken much at all, but Katie did a phenomenal job putting us at ease, giving us clear and concise posing direction, and capturing us looking our best in our happiest moments.

We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

Look no further for a fantastic photographer! Brandon recently photographed our wedding day and our engagement photos. On both occasions, Brandon blew us away with his talent, professionalism, and dedication to capturing the best shots possible. We cannot help but smile every time we look at our photos from Brandon.

I'm a Northern Virginia based wedding photographer with a love for capturing your day in a way that feels most authentic to YOU. My experience with having my own COVID wedding has led me to appreciate all kinds of weddings, big and small. ◡̈ Virginia born and raised, I met my husband in middle school and we chose to be by each others' sides forever back in 2020! We are building a family and a life we love in Fredericksburg, VA, but are always ready to go. He's my right hand man and will probably tag along every so often!

Hope was my son's wedding photographer and she did portraits for my family. I was blown away by how beautiful they all turned out. But what I really loved was how thoughtful she was during both. She made sure that her and her wonderful husband/assistant were everywhere all at once...lol. Capturing ever special moment with lots of detail. She isn't just a talented photographer she has an understanding of what moments NEED to be captured that you may never know aboutuntil she send you the gallery! Her heart behind what she does is in every photo. I can't recommend her enough!
