About

We are Emma and Billy, we are the Schwartz’s, a professional wedding film & photography couple based in Virginia. We love to travel, visit wineries/breweries, live music, nature, and getting to know others.

Emma loves wedding photography and offers wedding images and Billy is professional offering wedding films. Together, we offer a wonderful experience at an affordable cost.

Each year, we only take on 10-20 couples as we are one of the region's most exclusive wedding film-making and photography companies and we are highly sought after in the wedding industry.

We provide authentic photos and video that truly represent you and your soon to be spouse! Photoshop is not an option for our editing.

We love couples that have a passion for adventure, see great value in the power of video, and couples that are fun-loving and exciting to be around!

Amazing Photography and Film

From the moment we booked Wedding Photography and Films, their communication was prompt, clear, and thorough. The quality of their work was simply stunning - they captured every special moment with a level of detail that exceeded our expectations. On the day of our wedding, they arrived early and made sure to get every single photo we requested, even wrangling our large family for group shots. We were amazed by their ability to document meaningful moments that we didn't even have planned. We even received a teaser album the very next day. Thanks to Wedding Photography and Films, we have a beautiful collection of images that we will cherish forever.

Made sure our day was perfect!

Billy and Emma are truly talented at what they do. They were able to do our pictures and videos exactly how we wanted. They captured the day in the most beautiful way possible. Everyone in our family was in awe of our photos and videos. Their communication is amazing and they made sure to ask us about every detail of our day that was important to us. They were extremely affordable and accommodating. Lastly, I would recommend them to anyone getting married. They truly make the day all about you!

Truly a 10/10 experience

My husband and I got married this past weekend and I cannot begin to express how incredible Emma and Billy are. So far we have gotten a few teaser images, highlights and first look with my father videos. They were amazing to work with from day 1 and I am forever grateful we chose them! They provided us a timeline to use for day of and everything went smoothly and their attention to detail is remarkable! Please hear me when I say this, you will not want, you will NEED the videography piece as well as the photography. I promise it is worth it! Thank you thank you!

Hire them for your big day!

I hired Emma and Billy for my big day in September 2023 and could not have been happier with my choice! Not only did I hire them for a few extra hours (which they were attentive the whole time) but the whole day also took place during a tropical storm forcing most of the day inside our venue. Emma and Billy still made sure to get all the shots and even made sure to get the specific shots that I requested. Also, when the storm let up, they even rain with me and my husband through the puddles to get some outside shots. They are a great team and made sure that we got everything we wanted out of our wedding day video coverage!

Emma and Billy are amazing!!

Emma and Billy are amazing! They took time to get to know us and make sure we got all the pictures we wanted. They were very professional and sent our pictures incredibly fast after our wedding. They truly captured our personalities and relationship perfectly. They were also very quick to respond through the planning process and made sure to check in frequently. I would highly recommend them!

Amazing Videographers!

We could not have been happier with Billy and Emma. In the planning process, they were very fast to respond, great at answering questions, and offered a monthly payment plan which was a huge plus for us. Come wedding day, they were absolute perfection. Friendly, on time, and got the shots without ever being in the way or feeling too obtrusive of the guest/our experience as a couple. They are both incredibly kind, talented, and passionate about the work they do. The turnaround time for the videos was also incredibly fast, and there was no sacrifice on quality at all! We are obsessed with the highlights video, it perfectly captures our special day and also having our ceremony, reception, and first look videos are huge bonuses. My husband and I cannot recommend working with these folks enough! They are the best!!

Highly recommend! Emma & Billy are awesome!

Emma and Billy did an amazing job at capturing all the little details and sweet moments from our wedding day. We had never had professional photos done before this, but Emma and Billy knew just how to guide and explain to us how to do everything. We were so comfortable with them and had such a great experience. We chose to do first look photos and take some time to get most of our bride and groom photos done before the ceremony. That was so wonderful. It was most relaxed and intimate time we had all day and Emma and Billy caught every special moment between us. They also did a fabulous job organizing the family and friend photos so everything moved along effortlessly. They are very talented. The pictures came out AMAZING! We are so happy with them!! We highly recommend Emma and Billy. They were so professional, yet personable and made the whole process seemless and comfortable. The packages were very affordable and the quality is unbeatable. We are very happy we chose them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
