“Brittany was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I have never gotten pictures taken together and she made it easy, fun, and seamless. I don’t typically love pictures of myself and I absolutely loved how they turned out. She facilitated the family pictures so well and made the process painless. I would highly recommend booking her!”

  • Serves Waterford, VA

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!

“We cannot say enough good things about Georgette! We had a January wedding with about 50 guests, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our portrait time was tight (our fault), and Georgette helped us game plan ahead of time so we could make the absolute most of it. She rolled effortlessly with last-minute changes to people and the order of photos, and somehow managed to squish in everyone we hoped to include without making it feel rushed or stressful. The photos themselves are stunning. She captured every bit of emotion — the big happy moments, the quiet sentimental ones, and even the teary-eyed exchanges. Looking through our gallery truly feels like reliving the day. Beyond her talent behind the camera, her wedding experience really showed. From knowing how to properly carry a giant dress and veil, to keeping things moving smoothly, she went above and beyond in so many small but meaningful ways. If you’re considering booking Georgette — do it. We are so grateful for her and will treasure these photos forever.”

“We are so happy that we chose her to capture our wedding day. From the beginning, Laura was so sweet, professional, and easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and knew exactly how to guide and pose us to get the most beautiful shots. She was also such a calm presence throughout the day, even with everything going on around us. And the PHOTOS!! She captured our wedding so beautifully. We got the gorgeous posed portraits we wanted, but she also caught so many candid moments with our family and friends that we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our gallery really feels like reliving the entire day. I especially love how she captured all the little details and emotions throughout the wedding. There are so many photos that instantly bring me back to a specific moment, and I know these are pictures we’re going to treasure for the rest of our lives. Laura, thank you so much for being part of such an important day for us and for giving us these beautiful memories to keep forever. We truly couldn’t recommend you enough! 100000/10 recommend!!”

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 ;)”

“Melinda photographed our engagement shoot. I chose Melinda because I was immediately drawn to her style of photography. She is patient, kind, and incredibly professional. She guided my now-husband and me through each pose and made sure we always felt comfortable. My husband is usually the most awkward person, especially around strangers, but he felt completely at ease in front of the camera thanks to Melinda. She created such a relaxed, effortless atmosphere that we almost forgot we were being photographed, so every kiss and smile felt genuine and natural. Thank you so much Melinda!”

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

“I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. 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!!!”

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.”

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

“We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Abby from our engagement shoot, to a very last minute boudoir shoot she let me swap out for my bridal session, and the most amazing shots from our wedding day. She was communicative via email and kept in touch throughout the year. Abby made us feel so comfortable with her hilarious photo prompts and experience she brought to each session, I knew we were in good hands after our very first time together. If you’re thinking about booking M&M for next year—Do it!!! You will be so happy you have her on your vendor team.”

“I seriously cannot put into words how amazing Nam is. My now husband and I had never done a photoshoot together so I was nervous how we would be. Nam made it so easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She’s a gem! Our wedding went flawlessly because of her. She stayed on track and got every requested photo and then some. She fit right in with all of us, cracking jokes and all. She has such a great personality and will go the extra mile for “the shot”. Can’t recommend enough!!”

“Yasiria and Alex are nothing short of amazing! When our original photographer had to cancel last minute due to illness just days before our wedding, we were devastated. But Yasiria and Alex stepped in with grace and professionalism, making our big day even more beautiful than we could have imagined. From the moment they arrived, they made us feel at ease with their warmth and attention to detail. They were punctual, organized, and full of creative ideas that truly captured the essence of our celebration. It felt as though they were part of our family, and they made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day.

  • Classic style

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!”

Let's skip the business part and jump in, heads first, into being best friends?! I love connecting with people who are in love and value the essence of relationships, those big and small moments and everything in between. To live in the moment is my motto, allowing myself to be true to my feelings and always see the bright side of every experience. I've been photographing for 3 years and making friends along the way, creating memories that will withstand the test of time with a touch of art. Let's connect and make beautiful memories!?

“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!”
