“We were nervous about photography on our wedding day because we're not at all comfortable in front of cameras, but Zasibna Photo completely changed that for us. From our first conversation, Natalia was open and willing to listen to what we wanted. She came early and suggested poses that felt natural and didn't push us beyond what we were comfortable with, which made such a difference. The photos turned out like a dream and they captured our day in a way that feels authentic and beautiful. We felt really relaxed around Natalia and that ease showed up in every single shot.

I specialize in capturing the real, candid moments of your wedding day. My approach is simple: blend into the background so you can stay fully present. Clients describe my presence as calm and grounding. While I capture every key highlight, I move fluidly to preserve those genuine, unscripted moments you might miss. Beyond the camera, my goal is to keep your day completely stress-free—from organizing family portraits to keeping your timeline running smoothly.

“We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!”

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

“I cannot recommend Vanessa enough! The photos from our wedding are absolutely stunning — truly everything I dreamed they would be and more. She was incredibly organized, communicative, and on top of every detail from start to finish. I’ve known her for a long time, and getting to work with her on something so special meant the world to me. Vanessa and her husband Patrick (the second shooter) captured every single shot perfectly — nothing was missed! As someone who usually shies away from being in front of the camera, she made me feel so comfortable, confident, and, most importantly- beautiful. She knew exactly how to pose me and my now-husband in our engagement and wedding photos. She is truly gifted. I am completely and utterly obsessed with her and her work. If you’re considering Vanessa for your wedding or any event, do yourself a favor and book her. Not choosing her would be a mistake!”

Hey Y'all! Tori Del came from my name Victoria Delgado. I am an introvert so if I come off as quiet or awkward that's basically the over analytical thinking happening as we speak lol. I am a hopeless romantic. I truly believe there is someone out there for everyone and I legit cry at all weddings. When it comes to photographing our loving couples, I love to incorporate both digital and film photography. I was introduced to photography through film photography and have always loved the aesthetic. When I am not photographing loving couples, I am holding down my household with my husband. We have 3 amazing children and a cute pup!

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

I did a lot of our wedding planning at the last minute and I have never had professional photos done so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but Darcy walked me through the wedding day and made sure that we had a clear plan. She was also very patient with all of my last minute changes to the schedule. I originally reached out to Darcy because I loved the style of her photos and I was incredibly pleased when I saw our photos. I would definitely reach out to her for future events/family photos!”

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 captured my first wedding in 2016 and I was instantly in love with being a wedding photographer!

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!

It is all about enthusiasm, creativity and love. I love what I do and what I can find and capture in people and their surroundings. All these little details and grand views, I don't want to miss them. No matter a tear drop from her eyes or secretly holding hands behind the love table.

“Yifei was absolutely wonderful, and we feel lucky to have her and her team capture our wedding at the George Peabody Library! She's attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire day, capturing not only all the big moments but also so many beautiful little details. She stayed with us the whole day and even brought extra styling items, including beautiful ring display kit, which was such a thoughtful touch. I really appreciated how Yifei guided and showed us how to pose throughout the day. She also has a great eye for locations and composition. This was her first time photographing a full wedding at George Peabody Library venue, but she knew how to make the most of the space and found beautiful spots and angles throughout the venue. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous! I also appreciated that Yifei offers both photography and videography through her team. Yifei was our photographer, and she brought a separate videographer to capture the day alongside her. Wedding planning already involves so many vendors and decisions, and I honestly didn’t want to go through another complicated search for a videographer myself. Having everything coordinated through Yifei made the process so much easier and more seamless. We received a 15-second trailer, a 5-minute highlight film, and a 30 minute documentary-style wedding film, so we have so many different ways to relive the day. Yifei also truly went above and beyond for us. After the wedding, she made an extra trip to our home in another city just to take some additional photos we wanted. I really appreciated her flexibility and how much she cared about making sure we were happy with everything. On top of all of this, her pricing is reasonable, especially considering the quality of her work, the amount of time and care she puts in, and the convenience of having both photography and videography coordinated through her team. We really felt that we received amazing value. Our wedding was such a special and beautiful day, and I’m so grateful to Yifei and her team for capturing it so thoughtfully. Yifei is talented, attentive, patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about her couples. I would absolutely recommend her and her team!”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Natasha was the first vendor we hired after choosing our venue. She is astonishing. She seamlessly blends into the crowd to take photos that capture the essence of your wedding and always manages to find the perfect picture that will make you cry, laugh, and then cry again. She has a remarkable eye. If you want to get away from stilted formal shots and remember and celebrate the actual day of your wedding, work with Natasha. She makes the entire wedding process a joy, from the initial meeting with her to the date night she set up for you to view your photos. She also does "slice of life" engagement shoots which can be a fun and casual date night that she captures with her incredible camera. Everyone has been blown away by the quality of the pictures. There is a reason that she is a top world wedding photographer. I trust Natasha completely. If you are not interested in classic boring posed photos, you can do no better than to hire Natasha Lamalle immediately. She is a true artist with a camera. You will fall in love over and over again through her photos.”

He was super focused, detail orientated, bilingual, fun and laid back. He captured so many incredible behind the scene moments and my family kept saying we didn’t even see him take that picture. We were nervous about not knowing how to pose. He made us so comfortable and had amazing poses. He captured intimate moments of our families reactions during the ceremony, speeches and partying. He helped the day flow so well and we couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures were. The turn around time for the pictures was also super fast.

“Natalie was truly one of the best parts of our wedding day. She didn’t just capture the most beautiful moments — she helped create them. From the very beginning, she made me feel so comfortable and confident, which meant so much because I usually hate being in front of the camera. She has such a calm, kind, and encouraging presence that instantly puts everyone at ease. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about her for days after the wedding — not just because of her talent, but because of the energy and joy she brought to the day. Natalie isn’t just a photographer; she genuinely feels like a friend who’s in your corner, cheering you on and making sure every memory is preserved perfectly.

We are a wife and husband photography team that believes in 2 photographers, 1 story - Yours! We didn’t always plan on wedding photography. But we are glad that we took a leap of faith and built a business we’re proud of.

“First of all, Anji and Pete are AWESOME!!!!! If you are considering a wedding photographer, engagement shoot, or just a lifetime shoot, look no further and book them. This power couple has some serious talent and it's to capture your day/moment in a way no one can. We couldn't thank them enough for our awesome engagement session and because we loved the shoot so much and the pictures even more, we booked them for our wedding as well. They are so easy to work with and truly know what they are doing. It shows in the quality of the images we got. Every little detail is captured and we got sneak peaks the day after our wedding! The best thing is that our entire family and all of our friends loved them. They were so respectful, personable, and friendly and they even remembered most of our family and friend's name and called them by it. Everyone loved our pictures as well. They both work incredibly together and they have an understanding like no other couple in the business. Best of all was that they moved like stealth. The last thing you want is a photographer who is constantly in your face and that you notice walking around taking pictures. We didn't have that feeling at all! In fact, we were quite surprised by some of the pictures they took because we didn't notice they were around us. Working with them is a breeze and they are super responsive to emails, phone calls, text. They are timely, friendly, listen to what you are looking for, and are truly passionate about what they do. Which is also what makes them great! Again, my husband and I absolutely LOVE them! And so do all of our family as well as all of our friends. Give them a shot or should I say, let them give you a shot (pun intended) and meet them. You will be so pleased with their work as well as their personality. I am so excited I have met and found them and look forward to a future shoot with them already :)”

The captivating art of photography has always fascinated me, and its ability to transcend language barriers and unite people on a deeper level is truly remarkable. Photography is my way of telling unique stories of love and connection. When it comes to wedding photography, I am constantly drawn to capturing the true essence of every moment and making it tangible. I infuse every image with a touch of fashion and my distinct perspective, crafting a timeless and exquisite collection that will allow you to relive those precious moments for years to come.

“Hamid and his wife Farah are one of the best that i worked with. They are so professional and know what to do and how to work it out. I’m looking forward to work with them again in the future for my family. Farah has such a sweetheart personality and Hamid is a very understanding person. I advise all couples to work with them. If i could do my wedding again i will choose them again and again ️”
