We are so glad we got Alina to do our engagement and wedding photos! Her work is incredible. She's so kind and professional and made my wife and I feel so important and taken care of during our engagement and wedding seasons. She always responded to us quickly and handled any questions or concerns with professionalism and grace. You want her to photograph your wedding, trust us!!

With my honeymoon wrapping up, I just wanted to share my experience with Alina! She is a true world class photographer. I want to break down what I loved about working with her into three parts:
1. Her professionalism. When she says she will follow up, she will. When she says she will be somewhere, she will. With Alina there is no last minute wedding day coordinating which is everything as a bride! (Especially for myself since I didn’t have a planner) She also has posing nailed down and moves efficiently especially with large family groups which saved valuable time on the wedding day. She also is INSANELY quick at getting photos back—Saturday engagement gallery was delivered that Tuesday and Saturday wedding gallery was delivered the following Saturday. Unmatched.
2. Her industry experience. She is well connected in the Lynchburg area and was always happy to give advice in other areas of the wedding like where to find a specific type of wedding dress! She also was the best hypewoman when it came to picking out outfits for our engagement shoot!
3. Her work. It speaks for itself. It’s timeless. The right balance of true color and light and airy. She knows the types of poses that are likely to end up on your wall and spends the majority of the session capturing those. Also—HAIR-OGRAPHY! In addition to posing she coaches how to adjust your hair! LOVED this! Everyone I show our photos to gasps and compliments how good the photography is. Alina is worth every penny and was one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding! —the owner of the venue we got married at booked Alina to photograph her daughter’s wedding. That told me everything I needed to know

I found Alina's work from tagged photos on Instagram and absolutely LOVED how clean and natural her images were. From the very beginning to the very end, Alina was SO fast with communication and so helpful and informative. Neither my husband nor I had ever had professional photos taken, so we were both very nervous about our engagement shoot, but Alina made it so fun and easy where only the first few pictures felt "awkward" for us. This made our wedding day a breeze, and neither of us had the slightest bit of concern regarding our photos and felt so comfortable the entire time. She is the sweetest and most encouraging and complimentary person. She makes you feel like a million bucks with the comments she makes as she is shooting. Alina's turnaround time is RIDICULOUSLY fast. She provides you with sneak peeks on social media which make the waiting process so much easier. The photos she takes are just incredible. They are the most perfect snapshots of every moment of the day with the most beautiful clean editing style. She is being so helpful with choosing photos to purchase and creating a wedding album that we will cherish forever. I am obsessed with my photos and with Alina and I couldn't have made a better choice in wedding photographer! I will recommend her to anyone!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Alina has been so helpful, friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process - she made the initial conversations easy and welcoming, and she made us feel so uplifted and at ease during the engagement shoot and the wedding day itself. She's a natural! The photos turned out beautifully and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thanks again Alina!

"I first fell in-love with Alina's portfolio and reached out to her to ask if she would be amenable to do a maternity photoshoot as I loved her style. Ever since said yes to that, my family and I have had such a great experience working with her. Alina's work is natural and beautiful. She is extremely personable, patient, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend her more, and I look forward to continue having her capture family moments in the future."

My husband and I are both so happy that we went with Alina for our photographer!!! The wedding pictures were probably the thing I cared about most in planning our wedding day. I spent a lot of time researching and found Alina and loved her work. We went with her after a few email conversations, and I am SO happy that we did! Our wedding and engagement pictures came out beautifully, and Alina did an amazing job of capturing both our wedding day and our engagement shoot! Beyond being an amazing photographer, she is responsive and great to work with: she replied quickly throughout the wedding planning process and took time to thoroughly answer any questions I sent her way. Going with Alina as our wedding photographer was definitely one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process!! She does incredible work and is a joy to work with! I highly recommend choosing her as your photographer!

You and your husband were such a pleasure to work with and I’m so thankful that you were the one who took our pics on our special day. I’ll always remember you ♥️♥️

Wow, just wow! That was our initial reaction to the family photos that Alina shot for us this past weekend. My wife, dog (Macy), and I want to do yearly family photos and needed a photographer in the Northern Virginia area. After a few google searches, we came across Alina Thomas Photography - and we were sold. Alina is THE BEST photographer we have ever worked with, not only was she extremely flexible with our schedule she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable during the shoot. I believe one of the key elements that differentiate a good photographer from a great photographer is their ability to make the shoot fun and you feel comfortable. Alina talked us through each of the poses and looks she needed to get the perfect shot, and the results are amazing! I wish we knew about Alina when we were looking for our wedding photographer, after seeing some of her wedding albums and then experiencing her in action first hand I would have booked her over all the others. With that said, my wife and I could not be more pleased with the photos we received - we will definitely be using her for our family photos next year and referring her to all of our friends. If you need a phenomenal photographer for your engagement, wedding, or just family pictures Alina Thomas Photography is the only photography I will recommend.

I have shed tears, I’ve laughed, I’ve smiled. Alina did a phenomenal job and you were worth every single penny. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else do those photos. We have the most amazing pictures to remember our day. She was everywhere but also nowhere!! She somehow captured moments I either already forgot about or didn’t know about so it’s so fun to see those! She is amazing and any couple is blessed to have her as their photographer.

I met Alina when she photographed my friend's wedding a few years back, and was so impressed with her work. Not only did I get to see her beautiful pictures, but I also got to interact with her and see how talented she is at her craft. Fast forward a few years later, I was so excited to learn she lived closer to me. She was the first vendor, and only photographer I considered. It was an easy choice! Alina was so accommodating to our unique wedding situation with having our ceremony and reception in different states!

Alina is genuine, creative, and kind. She has a gentle spirit, but a down-to-business work ethic. She helped keep us on schedule for our wedding day, and made us feel so comfortable throughout everything. Having her shoot some engagement pictures was the best because we got to know her and she got to know us. She kept in touch with us throughout our entire engagement season, despite how crazy things can be. She is so easy to talk to, responds to emails quickly, and willing to listen to all your ideas and wishes. Her professional demeanor is refreshing.

Booking Alina for your wedding is a no-brainer! You will not regret it. She is a fantastic photographer, and a wonderful person. Your pictures will be stunning, and your guests will comment on how kind, non-invasive, and talented she is! Thank you, Alina, for all your amazing work!
