    Blessed to have Pamela on our wedding day

    We hired Pamela to be our wedding photographer after seeing the amazing work she did for our friend’s wedding a year ago. My husband and I are beyond satisfied by how beautiful our pictures turned out. I was feeling a bit nervous before the wedding, and Pamela really helped me relax during our first look photo session. Our first look was filled with so much laughter, love and pure joy.

    Pamela truly went above and beyond what we hired her for. She assisted our groomsmen with putting their boutonnieres on the correct side, and was very accommodating with any last minute timeline adjustments. We got our perfect wedding pictures back exactly 20 days after our wedding. This is extremely efficient, and I am truly amazed by her professionalism.

    My husband and I hope to work with Pamela for our maternity and family pictures in the future. I am sharing a picture from our wedding to show how gorgeous our pictures turned out.

    Pamela is the best!

    My now-husband and I knew that pictures were going to be a big part of our wedding so we took our time finding our photographer. We were immediately impressed by Pamela upon our first phone call with her. Not only is her work fantastic, but she genuinely an awesome person. My husband and I are not exactly natural in photographs, but Pamela’s direction made us feel comfortable and confident. She provides such clear direction that you don’t even need to think, you just get to enjoy the time with your significant other. Pamela shot our engagement photos and we were thrilled with the result. When we had to reschedule our reception we knew we couldn’t have our wedding without her. Pamela was extremely understanding and accommodating as we rescheduled. We decided to have a small family ceremony on our original wedding date and we were so happy that Pamela was able to photograph for us. She even scouted the venue a week in advance to check out locations and see what the light would look like. The level of dedication Pamela puts into her work is evident in the results. We are SO happy with the pictures from our family ceremony and we can’t wait to work with Pamela again at our reception next year!

    Very professional. Patient. Very flexible.

    Pamela did a terrific job for us. She is professional and has a good spirit about her.

    Pamela Lepold Photography's reply:

    Thank you Misti! You had a beautiful fall day yesterday for your photos around the gardens and the Cathedral ceremony was absolutely gorgeous. I was honored to be chosen to capture your special day! I'll try to share a sneak peek with you today.

    Beautiful photos

    Pamela was such a great photographer for our wedding - talented, professional, and experienced. The photos from our wedding and engagement were really beautiful and were processed quickly, and Pamela was such a kind, calm, and supportive presence during the wedding. Definitely recommend!

    Thank you! I really enjoyed capturing your day for you! I am glad you are enjoying the photos. It was such a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends. Best Wishes!

    Amazing photographer! Hire her - you won't regret it!

    Pamela and Sergei did a great job capturing our wedding! Pamela was always professional and did a great job posing us and making sure that we got all of the shots we wanted. We are beyond thrilled with all of the photos she took and would recommend her to any of our friends looking for the best photographer in the DMV.

    Pamela Lepold Photography's reply:

    Thanks Erica! I appreciate the rave review. Your day was a stunner! Wishing you many years of health and happiness!

    Gorgeous Photos, Amazing Photographer!

    Pamela was wonderful to work with! She is extremely professional and did a great job planning out the timeline for our day ahead of time as well as scouting the location with us the week before to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. On the day of she did an amazing job corralling us and family in an efficient yet friendly way. The photos she got were absolutely gorgeous and she got them back to us just two and a half weeks after the wedding!! We would absolutely recommend her!

    Pamela Lepold Photography's reply:

    Thanks Christine! I am so glad you are enjoying the photos. I am in love with your photos. It was the perfect fall day at Cana and the sunset was spectacular! The ceremony photos with the setting sun and mountains in the background are things most couples just dream of! It was a fairytale day!

    Amazing to work with!!!

    Just book Pamela! You will be happy!
    We booked Pamela for our wedding. She was amazing to work with during the pandemic.
    Pamela did our engagement and wedding.
    My husband hates pictures but Pamela made him so comfortable that he was happy to take all the photos.
    Her entire team was amazing! The week before the wedding we met at my venue and walked the area to see where we would take pictures. It was great to be there the weeks before so we could see what was blooming outside and get a good sense of the hotel that time of year.
    My photos were GORGEOUS!!!!! Pamela and her team captured every moment. She has multiple different packages and will do you albums.
    Set up a meeting today! You will book her that day! We did:)
    Our photos will be our memory of this day forever and we are so happy!!!

    Pamela Lepold Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Maureen! It was such a fun day. You all were amazing to work with too. I appreciate that you were open to creative ideas and so filled with joy on your wedding day. You both looked amazing and the day went off without a hitch! Thank you for entrusting me with your big day!

    Best photographer ever!

    We are go glad we chose Pamela for our special day. She did such an amazing job capturing our micro-wedding (around 15 guests). The photos are gorgeous and we will cherish them forever. We talked to several other photographers before choosing Pamela, but decided to go with her because of her warm and helpful personality. She had some great ideas such as doing a first look, and even took the time to scout out the venue a couple days before to find some beautiful spots for portraits. We were so impressed with her professionalism, and when we got the photos back two weeks later, the results speak for themselves, they are absolutely gorgeous! Pamela exceeded our highest expectations, we highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.

    Pamela Lepold Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! I loved documenting your special day and I am thrilled that you are enjoying your photographs!

    Artful and Relaxed

    We met Pamela in Old Town Alexandria to take our Engagement photos. We had ideas for props that pertained to both of our interests and our relationship. She was very artistic, interested in getting the best possible photos of us and really made the process exciting and fun.

    Absolutely what we wanted!

    Pamela was flexible with our COVID changes, supportive of our vision for the day, and so professional and fun to work with. She made the experience beautiful in all senses of the word. She looked for texture, paid attention to the light, and made the colors pop. Her friendly and humorous engagement kept us laughing throughout. We couldn't have been happier!

    Pamela Lepold Photography's reply:

    Thank you Laura! It was such a fun day and I was so happy to be a part of it! Your friends and family were so kind and the two of you were a joy to work with! Thank you for entrusting me with your special memories.

    As a planner, I enjoy working with vendors that are punctual, professional, and talented. Pamela is all these things and more. She and her assistant Jenifer did an amazing job taking photos of my bride and groom. They were efficient with their time and exceeded all of my expectations. I was very impressed with the photos I had an opportunity see on the camera. I can't wait to see the images when they are ready! Pamela, thanks for making the wedding day so smooth. I appreciate you and Jenifer so much! I truly hope we get to work together again in the future.

    Beautiful Photography

    Our wedding photos are beautiful thanks to Pamela's expertise as a photographer! She has a skilled eye for fabulous settings and took the time to scout out our wedding site before the day to identify perfect spots for photos. She was also open to particular photo ideas that we had, and she did an outstanding (and very efficient!) job of capturing everything that we hoped would be captured. We have so many gorgeous shots - it will be hard to decide what to print! She's a true professional and a genuinely nice person - we couldn't be happier with our choice!

    Best pictures I’ve ever had!

    From the get-go, I knew we were in the hands of a calm and competent pro. I had been going back and forth with another photographer, feeling a bit of pressure to book someone in case all the photographers I liked got booked up, but something just wasn’t feeling right. I found Pamela’s info and immediately felt like she would be a much better fit for the kind of photos we’d ultimately want. I was right—they turned out great! Leading up to the wedding, she asked helpful questions that honed us in on the specific images we wanted to capture, and also gave great tips (like, if you’re doing photos prior to the ceremony, make sure your flowers arrive in time to be included in the photos. Which in retrospect is a “duh” point, but wasn’t something I’d even thought about!) The day-of, she was calm and efficient, getting family members in line so we could get family portraits done and go enjoy the party. We got our final photos just after our honeymoon—less than 2 weeks from our event. Book Pamela if you want a stress-free photo shoot, with lovely photos to boot!

    Amazing pictures and even more amazing to work with!!!

    From the get-go Pamela was awesome to work with. Pamela was always super responsive and not only helped with the scheduling and making sure we got all the special pictures that we wanted, she was super personable and always made me feel beautiful and comfortable. She understood my need for a photographer who could give stern, kind, direction - as we all know corralling people for pictures and actually getting good ones can be difficult - and she did just that. We were working with dogs and young children, which was an extra challenge, and the pictures she was able to get of everyone are absolutely incredible. I could not be happier with how the day went and the pictures turned out. THANK YOU PAMELA!!

    Wouldn't have been the same without her

    Pamela is a true wedding professional! We can not say enough about how she helped manage our wedding day timeline to get in all of the complex photos we were looking for, and still managed to capture excellent photos of our entire evening. From the moment we met with her, we could tell she really had great experience, knowledge, and passion. She had shot at our venue numerous times, but still wanted to make sure she went out to do a site visit to see what areas we wanted photos from. Before our wedding she was very accessible and helped us determine the days flow. At the wedding she took charge to make sure we got in all of the photos we wanted and still had time to be with our guests. She blended in to allow us to be ourselves and gave excellent feedback during the photos to make us feel comfortable. We cannot recommend her enough, we fell in love with her shooting style from her website, and she delivered!

    Wonderful, Seamless Partner in Making Our Wedding Perfect

    Although we had a couple of calls before the wedding, we didn't meet unit the actual day. Pamela came in confidently, made us feel at home and made the painful chore of having so many photos taken a fun experience. She has such a great sense of humor and easily corralled the various family members and guests for photos. Pamela was very attentive to jackets that needed to be buttoned or hands pulled out of pockets to avoid awkward looking photos. She very quickly had the photos ready for us after the wedding so we hadn't long to wait. I love the candid shots of seeing our guests laughing and chatting and having such a great time. I felt the happiness we felt with the day was was well captured. Can't recommend her enough. Absolutely no hesitation to work with her again in future! Thank you, Pamela!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Mother of the Bride: After a big occasion, like a wedding, pictures are all there is to remember the day. Thank goodness I hired Pamela to capture all the moments at my daughter's wedding. Not only are the pictures beautiful, but both Pamela and the second photographer were almost invisible at the wedding. As an added bonus, she is a joy to work with!

    Bride: Pamela was - without a doubt - the best decision we made planning our wedding! From all the little questions leading up to the day, to helping build our timeline, to the stunning photos we have to remember the big day, I could not have dreamed of a better fit for us. She was so professional to work with -- leading up to the wedding and on the day of. As an added bonus, we got all our photos back incredibly quickly!

    Wonderful person and professional!

    From the engagement shoot to the wedding, and all the conversations in between, working with Pamela was the best. Pamela is a wonderful person and professional. Her warm personality and enthusiasm made her an absolute pleasure to be around. She made it easy for us to relax and be ourselves with her, and everyone from our wedding party who interacted with her thought she was great. She directed us when we needed, but made the process really fun and natural. More than that, she was the perfect professional: she went to our venue in the week before the wedding to scout out the best places, and really took the time to speak with us to understand what we were looking for, which was especially important to us because we were planning our wedding from abroad. As a result, we really felt like she got the best possible pictures of the space--she even found places we had never seen! Plus, we were surprised at how quickly she was able to get everything done: she sent us all of our wedding pictures two weeks after the wedding. The pictures are all wonderful, and we could not be happier.

    A wonderful experience with a wonderful photographer!

    I really cannot say enough good things about Pamela. She was more expensive than some other photographers we looked at, but I can positively say that she was 100% worth every penny (and then some!). From the very beginning, working with her was a dream -- she was always super responsive, incredibly helpful in planning the timeline of our day, and a calming presence from start to finish. My priorities for our wedding day were great photos and a great party, and I could not be happier with the way everything turned out! We did our wedding portraits at the Jefferson Memorial before our ceremony during cherry blossom season, which made me nervous from a traffic/crowd perspective, but Pamela went and scouted the area a few weeks ahead of time to make sure to find some locations that would not be completely overrun by tourists. On the actual day, traffic was pretty bad, but she was great at communicating with our bus driver about where we needed to go and when we needed to be picked up so that we would make it back to our venue in time (we ended up being early!). She was also great at maximizing our photo time while getting a ton of great shots, both during our portrait time at the Jefferson and later at the ceremony and reception. Posed and candid, formal and informal -- I feel like her photos truly capture everything about our wedding day. Looking at them a few weeks afterwards was like reliving the whole day, and I'm excited to be able to relive it again for years to come!

    She's awesome!

    Pamela was really great to work with before and on the day of the wedding. I found her contact information online and we set up a phone interview. I had previously had phone interviews with other photographers and was a little bummed because of how uncomfortable they had been. Pamela and I talked for about an hour and a half that first time and I knew that I really wanted her to be my photographer for my wedding because of how comfortable and easy it was to talk to her! She was very responsive and flexible throughout the planning and the day of the wedding. AND she sent our finished photographs 3 weeks after the wedding! I highly recommend her to anyone, particularly if you are at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. She had shot there previously so I knew I would be comfortable letting her pick the locations for our pictures. Even though she had been there before, she still went and scouted out the locations - she's extremely thorough. Highly recommend!

    Truly beautiful photos!

    When Dan and I got engaged, one of the first things I did was research photographers. I looked at a few photographers and I wasn't blown away by their photos. When I saw Pamela's photos, I knew we had to have her for our wedding day. Her pictures were unique and truly captured the love and happiness from each wedding she photographed. I was so happy when she told us she was available for our date. Our engagement photos were beautiful and our wedding photos are even more stunning! I have so many favorites. I can't wait to find another opportunity to use her again in the future! If you book with Pamela, you will not regret it!

    Captured our Big Day Perfectly

    Pamela was very easy to work with. I knew from our first phone interview that she would be a fantastic add to our wedding team. She is very talented, calm, professional, and thorough. She scouted our site a couple weeks before the wedding (at no extra charge) to narrow down and confirm shot list (we got married at a winery and there was a lot of ground to cover). She kept us on schedule and was a huge help in creating the day of timeline. My engagement and wedding photos are STUNNING. My friends have all commented on the quality.
