About
Welcome to John DeWald Photography

My wedding photography philosophy is about capturing the moments that mean so much to the wedding couple, their family, and friends. When photographing a wedding it is about emotions and interactions. With great intuition to what really matters to the couple and having an excellent understanding of what makes a great photo, my goal is to create tasteful images filled with emotion - images that you and your family will cherish forever.

John DeWald Photography is located in Fairfax, VA. I regularly photograph weddings in Virginia, D.C., Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and West Virginia. Arrangements to photograph your wedding at other locations can be made.
 
Every wedding is unique and so should be the pictures of your wedding day. I offer a variety of packages to fit any budget.  Please call 571-232-9915 to schedule a meeting or check for availability.
