Jeanyo Sent on 10/10/2023Blessed to have Pamela on our wedding day
We hired Pamela to be our wedding photographer after seeing the amazing work she did for our friend’s wedding a year ago. My husband and I are beyond satisfied by how beautiful our pictures turned out. I was feeling a bit nervous before the wedding, and Pamela really helped me relax during our first look photo session. Our first look was filled with so much laughter, love and pure joy.
Pamela truly went above and beyond what we hired her for. She assisted our groomsmen with putting their boutonnieres on the correct side, and was very accommodating with any last minute timeline adjustments. We got our perfect wedding pictures back exactly 20 days after our wedding. This is extremely efficient, and I am truly amazed by her professionalism.
My husband and I hope to work with Pamela for our maternity and family pictures in the future. I am sharing a picture from our wedding to show how gorgeous our pictures turned out. -

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! -

Erica Sent on 11/01/2021Amazing 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. -

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! -

Nathan Sent on 09/26/2020Best 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. -

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. -

Kristina Sent on 07/01/2019Best 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! -

Tiffany Sent on 06/13/2019Wouldn't have been the same without her
Pamela is a true wedding professional! We can not say enough about how she helped manage our wedding day timeline to get in all of the complex photos we were looking for, and still managed to capture excellent photos of our entire evening. From the moment we met with her, we could tell she really had great experience, knowledge, and passion. She had shot at our venue numerous times, but still wanted to make sure she went out to do a site visit to see what areas we wanted photos from. Before our wedding she was very accessible and helped us determine the days flow. At the wedding she took charge to make sure we got in all of the photos we wanted and still had time to be with our guests. She blended in to allow us to be ourselves and gave excellent feedback during the photos to make us feel comfortable. We cannot recommend her enough, we fell in love with her shooting style from her website, and she delivered! -

Katy Sent on 05/14/2019A wonderful experience with a wonderful photographer!
I really cannot say enough good things about Pamela. She was more expensive than some other photographers we looked at, but I can positively say that she was 100% worth every penny (and then some!). From the very beginning, working with her was a dream -- she was always super responsive, incredibly helpful in planning the timeline of our day, and a calming presence from start to finish. My priorities for our wedding day were great photos and a great party, and I could not be happier with the way everything turned out! We did our wedding portraits at the Jefferson Memorial before our ceremony during cherry blossom season, which made me nervous from a traffic/crowd perspective, but Pamela went and scouted the area a few weeks ahead of time to make sure to find some locations that would not be completely overrun by tourists. On the actual day, traffic was pretty bad, but she was great at communicating with our bus driver about where we needed to go and when we needed to be picked up so that we would make it back to our venue in time (we ended up being early!). She was also great at maximizing our photo time while getting a ton of great shots, both during our portrait time at the Jefferson and later at the ceremony and reception. Posed and candid, formal and informal -- I feel like her photos truly capture everything about our wedding day. Looking at them a few weeks afterwards was like reliving the whole day, and I'm excited to be able to relive it again for years to come! -

Kerry Sent on 11/07/2018Truly beautiful photos!
When Dan and I got engaged, one of the first things I did was research photographers. I looked at a few photographers and I wasn't blown away by their photos. When I saw Pamela's photos, I knew we had to have her for our wedding day. Her pictures were unique and truly captured the love and happiness from each wedding she photographed. I was so happy when she told us she was available for our date. Our engagement photos were beautiful and our wedding photos are even more stunning! I have so many favorites. I can't wait to find another opportunity to use her again in the future! If you book with Pamela, you will not regret it! -

Alex Sent on 11/03/2018Captured our Big Day Perfectly
Pamela was very easy to work with. I knew from our first phone interview that she would be a fantastic add to our wedding team. She is very talented, calm, professional, and thorough. She scouted our site a couple weeks before the wedding (at no extra charge) to narrow down and confirm shot list (we got married at a winery and there was a lot of ground to cover). She kept us on schedule and was a huge help in creating the day of timeline. My engagement and wedding photos are STUNNING. My friends have all commented on the quality. -

Adam Sent on 10/12/2018Let me get this out of the way...there's a reason I gave Pamela 5 stars across the board. If you're on the fence, hop off and HIRE HER! Our wedding was magical in every sense of the word and we can relive every moment with Pamela's photos. When we started planning our wedding, we didn't realize how out of our depth we were. Pamela so graciously offered to help develop a timeline with us so we knew exactly how our day was going to go. Add that to the amazing photos we just got, and we couldn't be happier. Side note, Pamela was able to get our very stubborn and shy niece to smile and laugh for the camera...that alone is worth 10 star ratings on a 5 star scale.
Pamela is a gift from above. Like I said before, HIRE HER! -

Kimberly Sent on 12/04/2016We are so happy we picked Pamela to be our photographer for our wedding! We love her style of photography and all our photos came out beautifully! She was very quick to respond to emails which I appreciated very much, and we felt so comfortable with her on the big day. She listened to all the details we wanted captured and was very flexible when our timeline got pushed a little due to hair and makeup! We highly recommend Pamela! -
![Catherine]()
Catherine Sent on 09/27/2015My fiance and I had some unique and whimsical ideas for our wedding and Pamela jumped right into the fun with us. She very comfortably adapted to us as a couple, our venue, and our guests. We were so pleased to see that when the pictures came back she took meaningful photos that captured very poignantly the essence of many moments. More importantly during the entire day she made us feel comfortable which allowed our personalities to come out in the pictures.... which on your wedding day when you're super nervous and thinking about a million things cannot be underestimated!
Pamela's organization was apparent even after our phone consultation with us and she was a true professional. She dealt easily with little kids, bringing together family members who did not all speak English, and making sure we as a couple got all the shots that were most important to us. -

Elizabeth Sent on 12/24/2014Pamela was amazing from start to finish. She had great ideas and was able to help with the day of timeline. The pictures were perfect and I love the different shots she got. People at the wedding commented how professional and sweet she was! I was 100% recommend her! THANK YOU PAM! -
![Richard]()
Richard Sent on 05/16/2014Pamela did a fantastic job capturing all our important moments, and was very fun and easy to work with. On top of that, she did a great job getting through a lot of photo combinations we had requested, in what ended up being a limited window of time. She was organized, efficient, and always knew exactly which photo she wanted next.
She also scouted out our reception location the week before, to find all the best spots for our pictures. We loved working with her, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else. Thanks Pamela!! -
![User991784]()
User991784 Sent on 10/27/2012Pamela was amazing! Before anyone showed up at the wedding venue, I saw her walking around the grounds scoping out spots to take pictures. So many photographers I see at other weddings put you in a spot and don't move you more than a couple feet. Pamela had us moving around to several spots. It made the experience fun and gives SO many great pictures of the day. She really captured, not only the space, but the mood of the day. -
![Molly]()
Molly Sent on 12/06/2011Pamela is such a talented photographer. She met with us prior to the wedding to discuss what we liked about our venue location and the area around it. Then she scouted out places to take photos after the ceremony in advance and sent us a comprehensive roundup of her thoughts. It really made us feel part of the creative process. Our wedding day turned out to be the only day in October to have snow in VA, but that didn't phase Pamela. She adjusted our plan and ended up producing gorgeous pictures that we might not have gotten had she not been so quick on her feet and creative. She brings a fine arts eye to this part of the wedding process and we could not be happier with the end results! -

Katy Sent on 09/13/2011Pamela is a phenomenal photographer. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and prepare yourself for the most incredible photos from your wedding. She was extremely flexible and gave us above and beyond excellent work! Major thumbs up :) -
![Mandie]()
Mandie Sent on 07/11/2010Pamela is absolutely wonderful! From the first moment we met with Pamela - we knew we wanted her to be the photographer for our wedding. We felt completely comfortable with her and knew she'd do an excellent job at our wedding.
Pamela didn't disappoint! She captured every moment of our special day down to every little detail. Based on Pamela's recommendation - we decided to take pictures before the ceremony so we could enjoy our guests during cocktail hour versus being busy with pictures. It was a great decision because rain set in just before the ceremony. But, Joe and I got an hour and a half of pictures outside prior to the ceremony and they turned out excellent. Pamela walked the entire property before we started pictures, and she took us to such beautiful places for pictures. During the ceremony and reception - we didn't even know Pamela was around but she captured every memory of our wedding.
Pamela sent us our wedding pictures on-line within a week of the wedding. We were on our honeymoon in Italy when we got the pictures and couldn't wait to look at all of the pictures she took. She got over 700 great pictures - we still have no idea how we're going to pick out pictures for our wedding album. Pamela also had our proof book ready just two weeks after the wedding.
We could not have been happier than we were with Pamela and her photos of our wedding day. She is not only an amazing photographer, but also a great person to work with and to include on your special day. We'd recommend her to everyone!
