About

With over 12 years of experience and more than 250 weddings captured, my goal remains to create timeless, elegant, and emotive imagery that tells the unique story of your special day. Based in Virginia, I enjoy bringing an artistic and refined approach to every frame, in each moment of the day - candid or posed. My work blends modern sophistication with classic beauty, ensuring each photograph not only captures a moment in time but also evokes emotion for years to come.

I understand that your wedding day is more than just an event; it's a celebration of love, heritage, and style. That’s why we provide a personalized, seamless experience that focuses on the details and highlights what makes your celebration uniquely yours.

Let's create a visual legacy for your wedding day that will last for generations to come.

Book liz at sterling life photography. Best around.

BOOK LIZ at Sterling Life Photography! You won't regret it. We feel so lucky to have met Liz over the past couple of years. She did our engagement photos and just completed capturing our big wedding weekend. She is a TRUE TALENT that captures the most authentic and candid photos. She is professional, timely, personable and a true delight to be around. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and knows how to get THE SHOT! Her photos are timeless and effortless. Not to mention she is extremely hard working, diligent and a genuine delight to be around. I am not an easy bride to keep track of so my family and friends were impressed by her diligence. Thank you Liz. We felt so honored to have you spend the day with us! We can't wait to keep creating memories with you!

Beautiful Photos!

We had a wonderful experience with Liz! She did both our engagement and wedding photos and was so easy to work with! She helped us navigate through a covid wedding and was so flexible with our changing guest count. We were drawn to Liz's photos because of their artistic flare and how they stood out from other photographers we looked at. She did not disappoint! Our photos came out beautifully and everyone we have showed them to loves them!

Incredible wedding and engagement photos

We had a fantastic experience with Liz from beginning to end. She did both our engagement and wedding photos and was incredibly flexible and responsive throughout the process. For example, unfortunately rain impacted one of our engagement shoots and she traveled hours to ensure we had the perfect photos on a better weather day! Liz is a super down to earth person that makes you feel at ease from the beginning and really brings out the best in people during photo shoots. Liz and her team brought awesome energy on wedding day and made photos a fun and seamless part of the day for everyone. The quality and beauty of her work speaks for itself and we could have not picked a more amazing photographer!

The Best of the Best

Liz was a dream to work with. She was incredibly responsive and helped us plan what kind of photos we wanted for our wedding. She is very talented, laid back, and so much fun to be around. All of our vendors and friends/guests loved interacting with her. Our wedding photos make me so happy and she captured the best moments of our special day. I would 100% work with her again!

I cannot recommend Liz and her crew enough! She and Laura came in ready to work. They both were professional and hilarious and really added to the day! I received first looks really quickly and cannot wait to see the rest. My friends and family all loved them as well.

It's hard to put into words how amazing Liz is. The traditional descriptions like she captured everything perfectly, she was very professional, she was great with the kids, and the resulting photographs were everything we could have asked for, don't seem to be enough! We didn't have a wedding planner so she really helped us build our timeline for the day and went way above and beyond the traditional photographer duties. She has an amazing personality on top of her incredible photography skills and was so flexible on the day of. If we lived closer (my husband and I live in New York) we'd be using her photography services for every special occasion in our lives. Thanks Liz!

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing and spectacular Liz is. I could not have found a better photographer for my wedding. So many people came to me at the reception to compliment how great she was! She is so incredibly personable and sweet she can make anyone feel calm and comfortable even during bridal photos! She is so cool and funny, I just want to be friends with her! I cannot say enough great things about Liz, I highly highly highly recommend Sterling Life!!!

Liz photographed my daughter's wedding and I can't speak highly enough of how wonderful she is to work with. She was unbelievably accommodating and made everyone so comfortable. She captured not only the wedding party, but our guest's families and couples. Liz captured the joy and happiness of the day at every turn. I can't wait to have the photos to remember this very special day. I would HIGHLY recommend Liz to anyone having a special event.

My advice to couples thinking about booking Liz is to DO IT! Booking Liz was more like bringing her into our family. From the moment she walked in on our wedding day I felt like I was greeting a friend. She was so great to work with and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The day after our wedding she posted a sneak peak on instagram and my Mom said it best, "that photo ALONE is worth it!". Professional, kind, and talented.
