About

I am a photographer in the DC Metro Area who is In Love with Love. :) I work to create beautiful, creative images that truly capture the magic of your day. My photos are always completely edited to give your photos a flawless, classic look that stands out and yet remains timeless. I'm easy going and flexible, and my packages always include the engagement session so that we can get to know each other and make sure we're a perfect fit. On the day, the focus is on you...I make sure all the important shots are taken, but never interfere with the flow...there are no "do overs" on a wedding day and you want to be able to savor it without spending too much time posing.

That's why my packages include a "day after" session as well...for all those romantic moments we might not get time for during the actual wedding...you'll be able to enjoy your day to the fullest and still get another chance to get gussied up and pose to your heart's content with no time restraints and plenty of privacy. I also have an option for bridal portraits and rehearsal dinner photos, so that you can have as much or as little coverage of your wedding experience as you personally want.

I also pay a stipend to another professional area photographer to be "on call" for your big day in the unlikely event that I am unable to photograph your wedding. This is only in case of a major emergency, but I make sure that the other photographer knows all the pertinent details at least a week prior to the big day to ensure a smooth transition.

On a personal note, I am married to my very own Prince Charming Brian (who is also my fabulous second shooter for weddings!) and we live in Northern VA with our two rescue dogs. I am a former opera singer and am working towards becoming a nurse. My photography is my passion and I've been doing it for many years.

I am also more than willing to work with a specific photography budget...please contact me so we can talk details! :)

I hope you'll consider hiring me as your wedding photographer so we can capture all those special memories!!! :)

I am in Virginia but am happy to fly anywhere to shoot a destination wedding...we love to travel! :)

Reviews of McCall Doyle Photography

McCall was amazing at my wedding. She was communicative throughout the entire process, and made it easy to provide the information she needed by outlining a general timeline and providing questions she needed answers to before the wedding day. Her photographs are amazing; I have not stopped receiving compliments from friends and family on them! She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed during the hectic time before the ceremony. Her husband, Brian, was also very easy to work with and made my husband and his groomsmen very comfortable during the process. I would definitely recommend McCall Doyle Photography!

McCall Doyle is just absolutely amazing! From her attentiveness to the brides wishes, to the shots that would have been missed in the hustle and bustle of the wedding festivities, her professionalism-everything about McCall comes together to just equal perfection. Highly highly recommend!

McCall was my first and only choice for my wedding photography. Her fantastic and spectacular work impressed me from the first time I had seen it from other folks in the area. On the day of the ceremony, she was there early, worked straight through the reception, and truly was a professional in all respects. Combine that with her friendly, easy manner, her rapport with the guests and the wedding party, and her outgoing personality, and it was a great gift to have her there.

McCall and Brian are an amazing couple to work with. They did an excellent job on our engagement session and our wedding day. They arrived 4 hours before the wedding to photo our venue, decorations, dresses etc. They spend the entire day with us until every guest left the building. I would deffinately reccomend them for any event that you need photographed!

McCall photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and we did an engagement session with her. We are so impressed with her photos, and we highly recommend her! Her photos have just blown us away, and she and her husband, Brian (her second shooter) were very easy to work with. McCall is very organized and kept a detailed list of things that she wanted to capture on our wedding day. She is very thoughtful and was in touch often leading up to the big day to make sure she had all the necessary details. She is very responsive to emails. In addition to the list, she also came up with great ideas for photos while she was shooting. This was true of our wedding, rehearsal dinner, and engagement session. My husband and I look amazing in our photos from all 3 events. And it’s not just us - the photos of our families and friends are just as gorgeous. We are so happy that she was able to capture their joy, too. She also put our photos on Facebook as she was editing them so that our family and friends could see the photos with us. I loved being able to see a few shots a day while we were on our honeymoon and see everyone’s comments. Surprisingly, I did not get overly emotional at our wedding, but I get teary-eyed when looking at the photos from McCall. She captured such sweet moments from our wedding - the first time my husband saw me that day, an intimate moment on the dance floor, a beautiful photo of our moms celebrating after we were pronounced husband and wife, and the list goes on. Out of all the decisions we made during the wedding planning process, deciding to hire McCall as our photographer is one of the best decisions we made! We will cherish her photos for many years to come!

McCall is an incredibly amazing and talented photographer. She made the entire process easy and enjoyable, and is both personally and professionally a dream to work with. I cannot recommend her strongly enough for your special day -- she will make your wedding day as wonderful as mine was, and capture those incredible memories in precise, indelible, gorgeous living detail. Both bridal thumbs up to a truly gifted and wonderful artist. My friends and family can't stop oohing and ahhing over my wedding pictures -- for good reason!

Gilded Lily Photography provided photographs for us in a couples session, and also took headshots of us individually. I HATE getting my picture taken - it makes me anxious, self-conscious, the whole mess. From the moment we walked in, we felt relaxed and comfortable; we laughed a lot and honestly had a terrific time. We had indoor and outdoor shots done, and when we got the photos back within days, we couldn't believe how great they were. We've been married for over four years and didn't have a single photograph of us on the walls in our house, and now we have these beautiful photos in three rooms. (We also use them as the wallpaper on our computers.) I've always thought my husband was handsome, but his photos always fell short. Gilded Lily actually captured his great sense of humor and his quieter side. And I kept looking at my photos, thinking, "Who is that beautiful woman?"

McCall is new to wedding photography but don't let that influence your decision about her business. McCall was very quick to set up an engagement session with myself and my fiance. She spent almost 4 hours with us and did over 200 photos all of which we were very pleased with. She is an excellent photographer and very friendly person. We are very excited to use her as our wedding photographer!!

Gilded Lily Photography did a bridal shoot for me in October 2011. I was looking to get some outdoor shots taken of me in my wedding dress because I had bad weather on my actual wedding and a photographer that I wasn't too crazy about.

McCall--the owner and photographer--was extremely professional, creative and patient AND she found an amazing outdoor venue that I'd never even heard of. Her attention to detail was extremely helpful too (any time a hair fell out of place she let me know so I could fix it--something my wedding photographer failed to do).

She also did an excellent job of creating a laid-back, and creative environment (who doesn't want to hear "you look amazing!" while getting their pics taken?) I also appreciated that she was open to the ideas I had.

I was extremely pleased with the pictures. She did an excellent job of capturing me, the dress, and the beautiful surroundings.
