About
Darcy Troutman Photography (Hi! That's me, but I'm not supposed to talk in the first person, which feels odd): wedding photographer, storyteller, moment collector, photojournalist (based out of Arlington, Virginia and servicing the Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Arlington, Alexandria, and Maryland areas).
Darcy Troutman loves life's unscripted moments and that's why she loves photographing weddings!
Darcy Troutman's goal, as a wedding photographer, is to create images that tell the story of your day. She wants you to remember: friends laughing, relatives crying, you and your fiance looking at each other across the room, dance floor shenanigans (including, but not limited to, your grandmother dancing the Hokey Pokey), and all the other wonderful, spontaneous moments that make up your day. She loves photodocumentary photos and candids because the best moments are often the small ones, that are so easy to miss.
Your love story is one of a kind, your wedding photos should be as well!

Priceless Photos
From the start we hit it off with Darcy, she made us feel at ease, and we knew that we were on the same page. We interviewed with a bunch of photographers and none came close to the warmth and calmness we felt from her. She prioritizes the moments and capturing emotions over exhaustive posing and run of the mill wedding pictures. I think my mom said it best "There are so many poignant memories captured so artfully that evoke physical reactions and words could never illustrate the range as well as Darcy did." Darcy and her assistants did a phenomenal job. They kept us laughing, nothing ever felt forced or fake, and after our more intimate portrait shots they somehow faded into the background while still capturing all the amazing details of our wedding and guests. Since sending a few of our pictures around people are constantly blown away by the shots. We will treasure these forever and going forward we will include Darcy in every single life event that we need to document.

Look no further than Darcy!
I cannot recommend Darcy enough! She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish, and we are still amazed at how beautifully she captured my husband and me on our wedding day. She didn’t just photograph us, but all of our loved ones as well, and every image feels full of warmth, joy, and genuine emotion. Darcy has such a calm, pleasant presence and put us at ease immediately, which really shows in the photos. We never felt awkward or overly posed; instead, she guided us gently and let the natural moments unfold. Because of that, our gallery feels like a true reflection of our day and our relationship. We absolutely love our photos and know we will cherish them for years to come. If you are looking for a talented photographer who is kind, professional, and truly invested in telling your story, we would wholeheartedly recommend booking Darcy!

Small Wedding Ceremony
We loved working with Darcy! She captured our special day, and made us feel comfortable and not rushed. We are "in the moment" type people, and so is Darcy! We love her style of photography and didn't feel posed. Highly recommend working with Darcy for your wedding!

You’ve found your wedding photographer here!
Where do I even begin with how much we loved having Darcy as our engagement and wedding photographer. We were looking for a casual and natural style and loved that she has an eye for capturing people just how they are. In her materials, she says she tries to make her work capture what it felt like to be there and she delivered exactly that! In addition to loving her photographic style, she was my first choice for an engagement and wedding photographer because of her beautiful family and pet portraits. We’ll definitely be using her again for future sessions! (Photo credit to Darcy Troutman Photography)

The best wedding photographer ever!
Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with during our wedding! She took the time to really get to know my husband and I before hand, and she was able to capture our personality super well in our photos! She was very responsive and kind! Every photo is a masterpiece and has left us with amazing memories from our event. I can't recommend Darcy enough!

Darcy is magnificent!!!
enough and we would recommend to her anyone. After coming across Darcy's website and chatting with her by phone, we knew immediately that she would be a special part of our big day. Darcy sees the magical details and the candid moments you didn't even realize were there. She took the time to learn about who we were as a couple and captured the fun, funny, and loving tone of our wedding day magnificently. She was warm, communicative, and wonderful to work before throughout the process and I felt secure knowing our wedding memories were in her capable hands. The moment we received our photographs, the usual anxiety I have about getting photographed melted away. They're absolutely stunning...we've gone through them over and over again and know we'll cherish them for life. Having photographed at our venue before, she was even able to share tips and recommendations that I adored and incorporated :) Darcy goes above and beyond, she truly cares, and we can't wait to reach out to her again for future life milestones :) Thank you, Darcy!

We had an amazing experience with Darcy!
I just got my final photos from Darcy today, and they're so amazing, I had to leave a review right away! First off, she was exactly what we were looking for. We had some specific priorities when looking for a photographer, and she met all of them. Our priorities were:
1. Finding a photographer who we'd be at ease with for photos. We're two introverts who don't like being the center of attention. She made us feel so comfortable when we first interviewed her and the day of the wedding.
2. Having more candid shots than just typical posed photos. She told us that was her style too, and she definitely delivered on that. Of course, she did great traditional group shots too.
3. Having a photographer who was willing to let us get a smaller, custom package so we could save money. Her typical package is 7 hours, but she was willing to do a 5 hour package for us.
The day of the wedding she was spectacular. We had rain before the ceremony that slightly derailed our picture plans, but she pivoted quickly. She still got almost all our pictures done either before or shortly after the ceremony so we could enjoy almost all of the cocktail hour with our guests.
Now, that I have the photos, and I'm so happy with them. There are so many amazing ones to choose from. Thank you so much Darcy!
