About

Your wedding day will go down in history as one of the biggest and best days of your life. It will be special. It will be emotional. It will be the the start of the beautiful ride called marriage with your best friend! You want that special day to be flawlessly captured through funny and emotion envoking photographs that will fill your heart with joy.

The task of chosing a wedding day Photographer is not an easy one. Choosing an Artist to tell your unique love story is one of the most important wedding related decisions you will make. Of course where uncle Bob and aunt Suzie sit and who gets the beef or chicken are also important, but none carry the long term implications like that of your wedding day portraits.

Our goal, passion and purpose is to tell your love story in the most compelling way possible through the power of portraits.

We take full advantage of the digital age and offer your images with printing rights. In addition, the studio offers heirloom quality artwork so that you can relive your special day through a Legacy Album and/or Wall Art.

We are based in Northern Virginia but travel frequently for weddings here and abroad! In fact, if you are planning a destination wedding, be sure to ask about the exclusive Destination Wedding Photography Collection!

Take the first step in ensuring you have stunning and timeless portraits of your wedding day by emailing heather@heathercheskyphotography.com!

While my husband was deployed overseas, I searched high and low in the VA/DC area for a photographer for our wedding. When my sister and I met with Heather, I immediately knew that she would be perfect for our big day! It was one of the easiest decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process! Not only is Heather professional and extremely talented, but her kind and sweet personality put you at ease. My husband and I aren’t the most photogenic people, but Heather was able to guide and direct us with our posing to really capture the special moments. She emailed me a “sneak peek” picture from the wedding and it’s beautiful!! We can’t wait to receive the rest of the pictures! We are so happy we hired Heather and will definitely recommend her to others!

Heather is simply amazing! From the moment we met Heather, my husband and I knew that we wanted her to photograph our wedding. She instantly knew what types of photos we wanted, and she was so easy to talk to and work with! On the day of our wedding, she was the first vendor I saw at the venue, and she made everything feel easy and stress free. From our first look to the cake cutting, Heather beautifully captured every important moment of our wedding day. Each image turned out better than I could have imagined. Every time we show our wedding photos to someone, they are in awe of how wonderful each one looks. Having Heather photograph our wedding was the best decision we made on our wedding day!

Heather is amazing! She is verry communicative and helped in capturing our special day in a very fun and positive manner. She was able to capture all the shots my wife had requested and her gifts are to die for!!! Highly recommended!

My husband and I love Heather! She did our Engagement, First Look, and Wedding Day photos and we had a blast!

What really stood out to me about Heather was not only was she always on time but she came with great ideas and suggestions! Heather has a way of giving just the right amount of suggestions but still making sure you feel like the photos are your style! She's down for any adventure to get great photos!

Heather is amazing at capturing emotions through her photos. We did First Look photos which was super emotional for us and Heather was extremely respectful of this! She somehow knew when we needed a moment to ourselves and while she took stunning photos of our moment, I was happy some of those emotions remained private and off camera!

Heather is the absolute best!

Heather was an awesome choice to photograph our wedding. She had the style I was looking for in my wedding pictures and was very accommodating to last minute changes. I would recommend Heather to anyone for their wedding pictures!

Heather is just simply an amazing photographer! She has the ability to make you feel comfortable when you are nervous about getting your picture taken. She is so nice, personable, and, experienced...a true professional at her craft. She did my engagement pictures and when I saw them, I knew there could be not be anyone else I would want but her to do my wedding pictures. I'm so excited and cant wait until my wedding. To think that she will capture...and she already has some of the most precious and happy moments of our lives.

Prior to selecting Heather as my photographer, I had seen her pictures and thought "Gee, Heather thinks outside the box" as she got pretty creative with her pictures. She sits down with you to get an idea as to what kind of pictures you are looking for and the dollar amount you are wanting to spend. I have used Heather for several different photo shoots - Victorian time period, my daughter & niece Senior photo shoots, and my wedding in Feb. 2016. I have not been disappointed in any of her pictures and she is just fun to be around. She is very light hearted and professional. You won't be disappointed. I give her 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

I lf I could give 10 stars I would ! Heather was absolutely amazing on our big day. Not only on our wedding day but the weeks and months leading up to it ! She sat down with me and we set up a package that was specific to our needs and what we could afford. We were extremly nervous to be photographed but she made it a fun experience ! Although it rained on our wedding day you would never be able to tell on the pictures, they couldn't have been more perfect. I think anyone would be silly not to use Heather on your big day, or any day for that matter !!

Heather is an AMAZING photographer and a lovely person to work with. Her photos stunning, and she has mastered the perfect balance between fading into the background and stepping in to provide just enough direction when needed. We actually had to change our wedding day after we signed the contract and she immediately checked her calendar and got back to us (fortunately she was free)! Her professionalism overall is spot on - if I ever start a business of any kind, I'll meet with her for tips!

She really showed my husband and I at our best on our wedding day and engagement shoot - our only problem is picking which of her photos to hang in our home!!! Really, her photos speak for themselves - the ones you see on her site and blog really are representative of the quality of her work! We would hire her again in a heartbeat!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Heather is definitely an outstanding professional who's upbeat personality is contagious. As she mentioned, the venue we worked together at was...challenging, to say the least. Yet despite any spontaneous changes/adjustments, Heather was ready to go and adapted to any outside challenge that was thrown her way. Her communication with me throughout the wedding was perfect and the way she communicated with the couple and their guests & family was extremely personable which I could tell they all were extremely fond of–in the end, isn't that what every Bride and Groom want from their photographer?
