    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.

    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 Chesky Photography's reply:

    Awe! Ami!!! Thank you so much for that awesome review! I am honored to have photographed yours and Carlo's special day and I am thrilled that you love your photos!!!

    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 Chesky Photography's reply:

    Oh thank you for that wonderful review, Ashley!!! I am so thrilled that you are so happy with the experience and the photos!

    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!

    Heather Chesky Photography's reply:

    Oh Julie....I have always LOVED our photo adventures! You come with great ideas and I have a total blast with making your vision happen with you!

    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 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!

    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!

    I was acting coordinator for my friends wedding so I got to work closely with Heather. She was extremely professional (especially given that people were jumping into her shots with their iPhones etc.) and I just to look at the photos for the first time and they are BEAUTIFUL!!!! I work in the wedding industry myself so I know how messy it can be behind the scenes but Heather managed to capture all the best parts of the evening. The room we were getting ready in wasn't terribly visually appealing but she managed to make it look like and elegant beautiful space. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    We found Heather through Life Gallery Studio in Vienna, VA. While we picked the studio for the value of their packages, we ended up with an incredible photographer who shot both our engagement and wedding photos. Heather was friendly, creative and incredibly flexible. Our engagement shoot photos were taken at Great Falls VA, and were fantastic. Our wedding photos were at various spots on the National Mall and we couldn't be happier with them. Heather worked really well with our reverend and later our DJ and was able to capture both posed and candid photos. We already recommended both Heather and Life Gallery Studio to another couple we know who hired them for their wedding and we would do it again to anyone who asks!

    Heather was great. She was the second photographer for our wedding and did mostly shots while we were getting ready.

    She was easy to get a long with, not intrusive, and the pics came out great.

    I would highly recommend.

    Working with Heather was wonderful. She she some great ideas for pictures and captured some really special moments of the day.
    She was so kind and happy to work with us. She was just as excited as our wedding party to travel around and take pictures- she didn't treat it like a job at all.
    Heather followed up after the wedding to let me know how excited she was about the pictures.
    I highly highly recommend her.
    She is married so knows what pictures the bride and groom want.
    Thank you Heather for sharing in our special day- it truely wouldn't have been the same without you!!!!!!!

    Heather was a wonderful photographer. She knew when to get involved and set up great shots and when to stand back and take amazing candids. She is also a wonderfully sweet person and was great to work with. I can't recommend her enough.

    Heather was extremely wonderful to work with. She wasn't our lead photographer but her pictures were some of my favorites, she really captured all of the most important moments and captured the spirit of the day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our special day. She is absolutely wonderful!!!!

    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 !!
