Hi, I’m Daniel! I am a wedding photographer based in Winchester, VA. I love capturing both the timeless, must-have shots and the real, unscripted moments that make your day unique. My style blends traditional photography with a creative eye for detail and emotion. Whether it’s a quiet look between you and your partner or the way light filters through during golden hour, I aim to tell your story in a way that feels both honest and artful. Weddings move fast, but I want your photos to slow things down and bring you right back to how it all felt.

“Ashwood Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Daniel was super quick to respond to all of our questions and was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We simply filled out a quick questionnaire and provided our timeline, and he handled everything else seamlessly on the day of the wedding. The quality of their work is truly exceptional - the photos are stunning and captured all the special moments of our day perfectly. An added bonus was the Polaroids he gave us at the end of the night, which was such a nice personal touch. Daniel made the entire photography process stress-free, and we were thrilled to get our beautiful photos back so quickly. We highly recommend Ashwood Photography to any couple looking for a talented, responsive, and reliable wedding photographer.”

“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.”

“I cannot rave about Becky more! We were extremely pleased with our engagement session and I didn't think I could be more impressed... until we got to the wedding day. Becky was amazing making sure to capture all of the details of the day from the start. She was the sole photographer, but she somehow managed to capture so many moments. My husband and I both made comments when we were going through the photos that we weren't sure how she managed to get all the shots she did, it was like she was in two places as once! Highly recommend Becky, and I hope to be able to work with her in the future for all of our family memories!”

“MEGAN WAS AMAZING!!!! We cannot sing the praises of her and her team enough. Her photos are incredible -- we literally cannot stop looking at them, and we are so grateful we selected her for the memories that we will frame on the wall and review for years to come. But even more than her amazing photography was how wonderful she is to work with! From our first Zoom call, she was immediately just so much fun to talk to. Something to think about: Your photographer follows you around your entire wedding day, so you need someone you feel comfortable with! Megan immediately put us at ease. We had a blast with her on the engagement photoshoot (we went to waterfall at sunrise!) and we had a blast planning out all our wedding shots with her. At the wedding itself, her team was so professional and endlessly kind. They never made the wedding feel awkward or had to "stop the action" for a shot. She delivered an AMAZING gallery for us in a timely manner with the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken in our lives. She captured all the special moments and managed all our family dynamics. We would book Megan again 100000 times. Also, as a queer couple, she was so affirming and made us feel so comfortable. We love you Megan 3 Can't wait to book a newborn shoot one day ;)”

His communication was clear and detailed, and he truly listened to understand exactly what we wanted. The quality of his work was phenomenal and he offered great package options - he went above and beyond to make sure every moment was perfectly documented, and his services were incredibly cost-effective. Alex's patience, professionalism, and expertise made him a joy to work with, and the final photos exceeded our expectations.

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!”
