Great photography doesn't require you to perform. It requires you to be present. My job is to handle everything else so that when the moments happen, they're honest, and the images reflect exactly how the day felt. Your wedding day moves quickly. I stay calm so you don't have to — present enough to catch every quiet glance and joyful tear, discreet enough that you never feel watched.

“Fourth Photography, LLC was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. From the start, the photographer was incredibly helpful, friendly, and punctual in all of our communications. On the day of our engagement photos, it was very windy and cold, but the photographer remained professional throughout and made sure to get all the special moments, even going the extra mile to spot a great location we hadn't noticed and encouraging us to stay for some extra photos. The final photos were absolutely beautiful and captured all the joy and details of our special day. We're so grateful for their attentive service and the wonderful, high-quality work they provided.”

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. From the moment we started, Geneva made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. 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.

Hi, I'm Nathan. I don't just photograph weddings—I witness them. With a calm, steady presence and deep respect for what you hold sacred, I work without intrusion so you can stay fully present while your day unfolds. I'm drawn to the moments that often pass unnoticed: the breath before the aisle, light spilling through stained glass, a parent's quiet tears as vows are exchanged.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I would give 10 stars if that were possible! Nathan is incredible! From when we first reached out to even now, a month after our wedding. He is so friendly and warm, it is easy to feel comfortable around him. Feeling comfortable is so important since most of us aren't used to people taking so many pictures of us. He was helpful in picking a place to do our engagement photos and was great about getting us to pose or do goofy things that resulted in the most beautiful photos that I could truly feel how we felt in the moment when looking at the photos. On the day of our wedding, he was even more amazing, we were an hour behind schedule (my fault) and he kept his cool which in turn helped me to also remain calm. He was great at pivoting at a moment's notice when I changed the location of first look photos in order to save time. He was great at offering ways we could still get those photos in that location if we wanted to take the time to do it. He went above and beyond getting candid shots I asked for. The amazing thing is that my photos from my wedding truly feel like a portal back into the day, I look at the pictures and all the emotions of joy and love come flooding back. He is a true artist. The best part was we got a bunch of preview photos the day after our wedding!! Unheard of! And then he had the full gallery of photos only 3 weeks later, also unheard of! He does a great job capturing and editing photos. He also time and time again went above and beyond like an additional engagement session when we missed some shots we had wanted to get or an additional session in our wedding attire to capture additional portraits. He also asked if there were photos that we thought were missing from the gallery and went back through the thousands of photos to find ones we were asking about. I cannot recommend Nathan enough, our day would not have been the same without him, and it never would have been captured in such a perfect way.”

Nam is a travel documentary and editorial wedding photographer with a passion for capturing raw, unfiltered emotions. Her approach to photography is far from cookie-cutter. She's been behind the lens since she was ten, seeking out the candid, unscripted moments that reveal the true essence of her subjects. Nam’s style is rooted in authenticity, observing every detail with care and capturing love stories just as they unfold.

“Where to even start? From the planning of the engagement session to the execution of our wedding day photography, Nam was so fun, helpful, encouraging, and professional. She made all of our dreams come true with every picture and has made memories that we will cherish forever. Nam’s laidback fun personality made both my husband and I feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera even though neither one of us are big fans of having our picture taken. She captured us in a way that showed our love in every picture, and it never felt like unnatural or like a photoshoot. She has a way of making people feel seen, and her pictures show that. If you want to always remember the way you *feel*, I would highly recommend Nam. She captures heart on film, and we feel so lucky to have that memorialized forever!”

We specialize in romantic imagery! Our edits are true to color with soothing warmth. Our style is a mix of editorial and documentary. We also offer videography and super 8 films! Having been in the business for years, we understand all that it takes to ensure the most seamless possible experiences for our couples!

“Lavender Sage Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, Laura and Alex were professional, comforting, transparent about pricing and expectations and open to all of our questions, suggestions and needs. The photos they captured look as if they came straight out of a magazine - they truly documented every special moment of our day so we can relive the little moments forever, as the photos are the only thing we'll have to look back on aside from the memories. After two sessions (engagements & wedding day) with them and hiring them as a gift for another couple, I know I'll be calling them again and again, for further milestones, family photos, etc! Laura and Alex are kind, talented and I truly can’t see myself ever hiring someone else for photos.”

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

“We found Sara after requesting vendor recommendations from several venues we were considering, and she was listed on multiple lists - which felt like a great sign. When I checked out her Instagram, I immediately loved her style: vibrant, comfortable, classic, timeless, and incredibly detail oriented. I noticed she was going on maternity leave and wasn’t sure if our date would work with her schedule, so I felt incredibly fortunate when it did. From our very first phone call, Sara was authentic, fun, and a true ray of sunshine. What stood out most was how she checked in on me and our wedding planning as a whole (not just the photography side) which immediately showed how much she genuinely cared about me and our day. She was also so generous with vendor recommendations, including the planner who ultimately helped bring our entire vision to life. Leading up to the wedding, Sara was responsive and worked closely with my planner, which meant I never once worried about anything photography related. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond, capturing everything we could have hoped for, from flat lays and getting ready moments to the details of our tablescapes, décor, and even open dancing - all while being a new mom! She captured the details of our day with such efficiency and intention that I was able to truly live in the moment and spend time with our guests, which was incredibly important to me and speaks volumes about her experience. Her sneak peeks were delivered unbelievably fast, and our full gallery came just as quickly... both far sooner than expected while still done so beautifully and thoroughly. Sara is truly a gem, both as a person and as a photographer. We are endlessly grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough. Hire Sara for any photography needs, you will be so glad you did!”
