  • Serves Colonial Heights, VA

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jesslyn is immensely talented. Our photos are so beautiful and are indicative of the level of skill she possesses. Working with her was a pleasure, she is communicative, and made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. Not to mention she was such a lovely presence at our wedding, our family still talks glowingly about her two months later. Overall we cannot praise Jesslyn enough, we would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.

I am so thankful to liz & her co photographer for capturing our special day. She was always accessible , and extremely helpful. Whether it was helping me find an outfit for engagement photos, to finding the right place to take them. While preparing for the wedding I would send her videos and FaceTime her at my venue walk throughs, so she could get an idea of where she could capture the best photos on our wedding day. On wedding day she was on them , and with us all day. I also loved how we got a handful of sneak peaks within 48 hours so we could have an idea of all the magical moments she captured. She had a positive attitude from the moment I met her and really made me feel like she loved what she did and wanted to capture all our special moments. My living room is full of all of our amazing wedding photos. Thank you so much Liz !!

Stephanie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was calm, friendly, and on top of it. She and her second photographer struck the perfect balance of being professional and efficient while also feeling like casual friends, which made the entire experience feel natural and fun. My husband and I felt totally comfortable with her guidance and direction during photos, and she made the whole process so easy, even with unpredictable weather and changing light. She adapted quickly and found the perfect locations around our venue to make sure we got the best possible shots. We were so excited to receive sneak peeks shortly after the wedding, and the photos were absolutely stunning. The quality was flawless and just captured the beauty of our day. She also did our engagement session, and those remain some of our favorite photos ever (other than the wedding, of course). If you’re getting married in Virginia, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins and her team enough. She captured our day perfectly, and we’re so grateful to have these memories to look back on forever.

Black Pepper Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,350
  • Serves Colonial Heights, VA

Hello! My name is Chayil (pronounced just like Kyle), and I am a photographer and creative storyteller with a focus on weddings, elopements, and lifestyle portraits. Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.

I cannot even begin to write a review that expresses how obsessed I am with the photos and service we received from Chayil McGlotten, she truly knocked it out of the park. Chayil’s positive energy and friendly personality brings exactly the tone you need for your day. You could not find a better photographer if you’re looking for true to color, gorgeous photos, showcasing the love and story of the day, all while she also acts as the best hype woman you could ask for. I cannot recommend her and her team at Black Pepper Photography enough. We did our engagement photos at our venue, which ended up being on a fairly dreary day, but Chayil’s amazing skills still managed to highlight the beauty of the location and our excitement. She is incredibly easy to work with, quickly making us comfortable (especially my husband who is not a huge fan of taking pictures) by alternating smoothly between suggesting poses and taking candid photos if we were naturally in a good position. It was so hard to pick just a few photos for our Save the Dates when we received so many, despite having booked just a 30 minute session. On the wedding day, Chayil arrived with amazing energy, helping ease my nerves about the timeline and making sure I got every photo I wanted and then some! She also brought the videographer, who made the most stunning wedding video highlighting our special day. We have received our sneak peaks, and every photo is better than the last, they are all so flattering and gorgeous. Black Pepper Photography documented our day better than I could have ever dared to dream - thank you!!!

Lover Pics

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Colonial Heights, VA

I’m Hadley Chittum (she/they), a documentary photographer based in Richmond, Virginia working for publications like the Guardian, New York Times, Teen Vogue, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and more. I started Lover Pics out of a desire to photograph more intimate stories and to document human connection. Because of my photojournalism background, I prefer to photograph weddings by sitting back and letting the action unfold. My process and style will work best for a couple that wants to be present in the moment and not have too many forced, posed photo-ops. But trust I'll always be there with guidance when needed.

Hadley was a wonderful photographer for our special day!! Both posed and candid photos came out beautifully and we love them dearly. Hadley is also a wonderful communicator and a great person to be around! We will definitely ask her to photograph future events.

Jessica Erin Photos

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Colonial Heights, VA

When looking through your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years, you want each photo to spark a dozen timeless memories – like the chill of the autumn air, the way your dress swung to and fro, how your grandma couldn’t stop smiling the whole night, the taste of your new spouse’s lips, and countless more. You’re looking for true and honest evidence that brings you back and steadies you in these fleeting moments. You want to freeze your day just how it is and cherish it forever. Hey, I'm Jess! You're in the right place.

From the moment we first spoke, Jessica was so inviting, thoughtful, and professional. She was always timely in her communication and provided valuable insight on how to enhance the wedding experience and perspective through photography. When we first met at the engagement shoot and all the way through the wedding day, Jessica made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and genuinely seemed excited to be a part of our special day(s). The variety of beautiful photos captured our relationship as a whole and every unforgettable moment. Jessica laughed along with our families and friends, worked seamlessly with our planner and venue coordinator, and was just a joy to be around. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful collection of memories thanks to Jessica.

Colleen Megan Photo

  • Serves Colonial Heights, VA

As time passes I want you to look back through all your photographs and have all of those memories come pouring back into your mind. The moments of love, celebration, joy, the stuff you never want to forget. I'm here to help you cherish your once-in-a-lifetime love story, and celebrate your greatest achievements, and adventures! I want to celebrate it all with you!

We booked Colleen to do a wedding redo shoot 2 years after a hurricane swept through our wedding day. Due to a few different issues with our original photographer, we decided to change gears after Colleen was recommended to us by a good friend. Off the bat, Colleen was super flexible to schedule with and seemed so excited about our vision! During our shoot, Colleen made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Something I appreciated so much was that she made sure to place emphasis on the things she knew would matter to me- for instance, she asked me if I have a “good side”, fixed my hair and necklace between takes, made sure my dress was lying appropriately, and gave flawless posing direction. Initially I was nervous that Colleen would think my wishes to be unachievable; however, she delivered everything I wanted- and then some! Colleen gave us more photos in a (less than) 2hr shoot than our wedding photographer gave us in a 12hr day. Her photos captured my exact vision- artistic, romantic, seductive, modern- all tied in a beautiful Christmas bow! Something else worth mentioning- Colleen left our shoot and *immediately* began working on edits. We were sent multiple sneak peaks DAY OF, and dozens more the following day! Entire album was completed with hundreds of shots by 10 days out. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience with Colleen and these photos that we can cherish for years. Thank you Colleen!

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.
