About Alina Phillips Photography

Alina Photography

Photographer

Hi, I’m Alina, the photographer behind Alina Phillips Photography. I photograph weddings, intimate celebrations, and elopements throughout DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Planning my own micro-wedding showed me how meaningful it is to celebrate in a way that feels true to you. My approach is warm, relaxed, and focused on real moments, with gentle guidance so you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’m here to capture the people, emotions, and little details that make your day yours.

I bring a thoughtful, organized approach while leaving room for your day to unfold naturally. Before the wedding, I help you plan a photography timeline, find portrait locations, and make time for the photos that matter most to you. On the day, I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when a moment speaks for itself. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can get to know each couple and give their celebration personal attention. My goal is for you to enjoy your day and receive photographs that feel like you.

    So Grateful for Alina’s Warmth and Guidance

    One of the things we loved most about Alina was how effortlessly she worked with all the different personalities in our families. Weddings can get hectic with so many moving parts, but she stayed positive and patient the whole time, keeping everything flowing without ever making us feel rushed. She was especially great with our big group of groomsmen who honestly had no idea what to do...she guided them with ease and kept things fun, and the photos turned out amazing. We all look so natural in the pictures, and they truly captured the joy of the day. Alina’s energy, warmth, and professionalism made such a difference, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

    We absolutely loved working with Alina!

    We absolutely loved working with Alina Phillips Photography! Alina was friendly, organized, and easygoing throughout the entire process, which helped keep us stress-free on our wedding day. She made sure we got every photo that mattered to us, and even helped with timeline coordination to ensure everything flowed smoothly. The quality of Alina's work is truly outstanding, and we feel we received great value for the investment. We can't recommend Alina enough to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who feels like both a pro and a friend. The photos she delivered are ones we'll treasure forever.

You’ll get sneak peeks within 72 hours to relive the magic immediately! The full gallery is delivered within 4–6 weeks, beautifully edited and ready to download, print, and share.
Every package includes photography coverage, an online gallery with high-resolution downloads, planning support, and printing rights. I offer 4, 6, 8, and 10-hour options — all designed to fit your day.
Absolutely! I’m based in Northern Virginia and frequently travel throughout DC, Maryland, and beyond. I also love destination elopements and intimate weddings — just say the word!
1000% yes. I adore when couples include their pets! Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan for extra snuggles and the best lighting for your fur baby.
Start by filling out my contact form or messaging me here. We’ll set up a time to chat, go over your vision, and if it’s a fit, I’ll send over a contract and payment schedule to lock in your date!
I take on fewer weddings per year to give each couple my full attention. From personalized planning help to relaxed, meaningful photos — I’m in your corner every step of the way. Your story is unique, and your photos should reflect that.
Yes! Most of my couples say this at first — and by the end, they feel totally comfortable. I’ll guide you with gentle prompts and natural movement so nothing ever feels stiff or forced.
Yes! Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and celebrate this season of your life. I offer standalone sessions and discounted add-ons to wedding packages.
Definitely. Whether it’s a hidden gem or an urban rooftop in DC, I’ll help scout the perfect backdrop for your photos based on lighting, vibes, and what feels true to you.
Yes — I require a non-refundable retainer to book, and the rest can be split into two or four payments leading up to your wedding. I’m flexible and happy to work with you.
Absolutely. I’ve had the honor of photographing tea ceremonies, South Asian weddings, and Muslim nikkahs, and I’m always open to learning about and respectfully capturing your traditions.
Some of the most beautiful, romantic photos come from overcast or rainy days! I’ll help you plan a backup option if needed, and we’ll make the most of whatever the day brings — rain or shine.
It depends on your coverage, but typically around 60–100 images per hour. All final photos are carefully edited and delivered in a beautiful online gallery for easy viewing and downloading.
Yes, absolutely. I always ask for a shot list for any must-have family or cultural moments — and I’ll also guide you so we capture candid magic you didn’t even expect.
Local travel within D.C. and Northern Virginia are included! If your wedding is farther out or destination-based, I’ll provide a custom quote for travel expenses.
Totally! I’ve photographed many weddings with split locations — just let me know your timeline and I’ll create a plan that flows smoothly from one spot to the next.
More than okay — I specialize in intimate weddings and elopements. Whether it’s just the two of you or a cozy group of 20-30, I believe every love story deserves to be documented beautifully.
Yes! Timeline building is one of my favorite parts of the planning process. I’ll help you map out your day so everything flows smoothly, with enough breathing room for real moments (and amazing light!).
I recommend booking 6–12 months out for weddings and 2–6 months out for elopements or shorter coverage. But feel free to reach out anytime — I occasionally have last-minute dates available!
100% yes. Love is love, and I feel honored to capture every kind of love story. My space is safe, inclusive, and affirming for all couples.
I focus solely on photography, but I’m happy to recommend videographers who match my style and approach if you're looking for both!
Once we chat and confirm we’re a good fit, I’ll send over your proposal, contract, and invoice. A signed contract and retainer officially reserve your date — and then the fun planning begins!
