    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.

    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.

    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!!

What can I say about Pamela....? The only word that comes to mind is WOW, Pamela is amazing. From start to finish Pamela makes everything so easy and stress free. Pamela shot my wedding in February 2012 and captured ever moment. Her method is non-invasive and you hardly know she is there, but somehow she gets all the right shot and MORE. My wedding pictures were just BEAUTIFUL. There is no one I recommend more than Pamela Lepold. We loved her so much that she is now going to shoot my sister’s wedding in September. Thank You Pamela for making my day so amazing. XOXO
