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! -

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!

It could not have been more perfect. Darcy was magical as our photographer for our DC wedding. She expertly managed our family and friend photos and was able to capture our special day. We worked with Darcy for our engagement photos and were blown away, so we knew the wedding photos were going to be special.
Darcy was so kind, professional, and wonderful to work with during the day of our wedding. She was able to snap amazing photos of the first looks, the ceremony, and other special moments throughout the day. Working with Darcy was a pleasure and I cannot wait for our paths to cross again in the future as we will need couples photos and hopefully family photos! -

My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Darcy! From the very beginning we chose her after reading her blog and looking at her photos - we didnt want any structured, staged photographs of our wedding but instead wanted a photographer who would focus on documenting the day as we will remember it. We talked multiple times before the wedding day and she was so open to our vision of the day. My husband feels terribly uncomfortable as the center of attention, and Darcy was so open, understanding, and interested in thinking of ways to make him feel more comfortable. She was dedicated to learning the names of important guests, understanding some family drama, and made me feel at ease.
On the day of, she was INCREDIBLE! She was so friendly and so open that we immediately felt comfortable around her. She was super flexible and went with the flow while maintaining control over different groups of people for photos. She even got my dog to pose and look at the camera! When the photos arrived (in like a week or two max), we literally screamed at each photograph because of their beauty and the way they captured our special moment. 100000% recommend for your photographer if you are interested in documenting the day and not just the details.

Extraordinary photographer, incredible photos
We will cherish Darcy’s photos of our wedding day. She truly captured how we and our guests FELT, not just how we looked — from my dad seeing me in my wedding dress for the first time to our surprise at an unexpected thunderstorm during our outdoor ceremony. Darcy is an extraordinary and talented photographer and a wonderful person. I loved working with her and I can’t recommend her highly enough! -

We absolutely love our engagement photos. We were a little camera shy at first but Darcy was very patient and put us at ease. She replies very promptly to emails, makes the entire process clear, and really takes time to get to know her clients. We even had to reschedule our shoot at the last minute and she fit us right back into her calendar immediately. We can not wait for Darcy to photograph our wedding. She is a great photographer and just a truly nice person to be around. -

Hiring Darcy was one of the first decisions we made when planning our “micro wedding” last fall, and we are so happy we made that decision! Our engagement photos turned out beautifully, and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day two weeks ago, Darcy was a calming, professional presence. I was a nervous wreck and Darcy’s energy really helped me calm down. I was anxious about pretty much everything but I was never nervous about how the photos were turning out because I really trusted her. She handled organizing our large families for portraits after the ceremony with such ease, and was so helpful directing us for our couples portraits. We can’t wait to see the wedding photos and know they will reflect such a happy day. You can’t go wrong choosing Darcy to photograph your wedding. Hopefully we will work with her again someday for family photos! -

Our Favorite Vendor1
We cannot say enough amazing things about Darcy. Not only were our photographs beautiful, working with her from the moment we first set up a meeting with her was amazing. She's warm, friendly and professional all at once. She was also understanding as we went from big wedding to small wedding and cancelled and uncancelled our date.
On the day of our wedding, she took charge and put us in the right spots and helped us through the awkwardness of posing for photos. Our families also thought she was wonderful to work with and we all absolutely love the photos. Truly, I know I'm gushing but I can't recommend her enough. -

Shanda D. Sent on 07/29/2021The sweetest photographer (with skills to match!!)
Darcy was the first vendor I booked after finding the venue! I was in love with the way she is able to capture beautiful moments without doing all the posing all night and making people not act like themselves just to get a shot, which is what we were looking for! I had to reschedule my wedding multiple times #coronabride and on the date we settled on for the final time, she wasn't available for, but went above and beyond to help me find another photographer in a similar style to hers! We got engagement pictures done with Darcy, which I'm so glad we did, because it was such a fun date day and was so easy and natural with her! We've gotten so many compliments on them, and they are my favorite pictures of us from the last 4 years of dating. Thanks for the fun afternoon, amazing work, and beautiful shots!! -

Working with Darcy has been perfect so far! She shot our engagement shoot a few weeks ago and had a quick few week turnaround for getting us pictures which was perfect for us to get our Save The Dates. She is so warm and just lovely to work with. It was really important for me to find someone with experience with interracial couples for lighting and editing and they turned out perfect! Highly recommend!! -

Krysta S. Sent on 02/20/2021Talented and Fun Photographer that Captured our Wedding Beautifully
Darcy was a pleasure to work with for our engagement and wedding pictures.
We were not used to getting our picture taken as a couple, but Darcy made us feel comfortable and made the whole process feel much more natural. Darcy was very responsive and flexible, which was especially helpful while planning a wedding during COVID-19.
Darcy and the second shooter, Nina, captured our wedding day beautifully. Our wedding pictures show the myriad of emotions and the series of small events that created our wedding as a whole. The photos of the candid moments will allow us to remember all parts of our wedding for all years to come.
We highly recommend Darcy Troutman Photography -

Maureen H. Sent on 12/18/2020The most beautiful photos
Darcy could have not done a better job capturing our wedding. The photos she took really capture all of the emotion, love, and fun that made up the day. This is so valuable to us as we had to cut our guest list by 100 people. My extended family and friends who were unable to attend absolutely loved the photos. Darcy was amazing to work with and was so flexible rescheduling our engagement photos a million times and for the change in venue! All of my guests loved her and she is incredibly professional. Mike and I are incredibly awkward in front of a camera but we felt so comfortable with her and the pictures prove it! I would 100% recommend her!!!! -

Elaine Sent on 09/22/2020Photos are more important than ever!
Darcy was the first vendor I spoke with over a year ago, and I knew from one phone call she was the right photographer for my husband and me. We completed our engagement photoshoot with her months before the wedding day, and it was a great way for us to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. I told her right off the bat that photo shoots are not our thing, and she kindly walked us through every step. I love when she tells me to let her know which photos I like best from the albums (engagement and wedding) because they are ALL incredible. She is so talented, and can somehow get emotions to shine through a photo. My family and I ended up having a small COVID safe wedding instead of the original plan, and Darcy was so easy to work with and supportive during this transition. Our "plan B" of a wedding, ended up being the perfect event we could have ever dreamed of, and Darcy was a huge reason for that outcome. Photos are more important than ever now to share with our family friends since only our parents and siblings were physically with us. I am so excited to share our photos with the rest of loved ones. As a bride that planned TWO weddings (small & and hopefully we will have our larger one post covid), I know picking a photographer can seem daunting. Let me help you make this easier for yourself - Go with Darcy if you want one less thing to worry about on your day. I am so grateful to work with her again for our larger celebration in 2021. -

Megan H. Sent on 08/15/2020Incredible photographer and consummate professional! Highly recommend.
We loved working with Darcy! She is truly an incredible professional and person. First of all, her beautiful photos speak for themselves. (We are SO happy with our photos!) But additionally, Darcy as a person and professional is highly skilled and amazing! From our first meeting, Darcy asked thoughtful questions about us as a couple and about what we wanted from our wedding day. She took the time to ask about family nuances in order to create the best possible experience for us on our wedding day. Also, before working with Darcy, my husband and I felt uncomfortable in front of the camera--but Darcy put our fears to rest! She made it all feel incredibly natural. We can't say enough good things about Darcy and her team!
