Fun, Modern & Vibrant Wedding Photography
Documentary Style Wedding Photography serving VA, NC and MD
Wedding photography for couples who want the real stuff. Bold moments. Real emotion. Zero awkward posing.
At Memories by PJ, we photograph weddings for couples who want the real stuff.
The unfiltered laughs. The teary hugs. The dance floor chaos. The quiet moments in between.
If you’re planning a wedding that feels more like you and less like a checklist, you’re in the right place.
Our approach is documentary at heart, with just enough guidance to keep things natural and effortless. No stiff posing. No awkward prompts. We step in when needed, step back when it matters, and capture the day exactly as it unfolds—honestly and with bold, vibrant color.
We show up as a calm presence, a hype person when needed, and someone you can trust to document your story exactly as it felt.
If you want wedding photos that feel alive, emotional, and unmistakably yours—let’s talk.

The Process

1. Connect
Every great wedding story starts with a simple hello.
Reach out through the contact form and tell me about your plans—your date, venue, and what you’re most excited about. I’ll confirm availability and answer any initial questions.
Next, we’ll schedule a quick consultation (phone, virtual, or in person) to talk through your vision, walk through full wedding galleries, and make sure we’re the right fit.
When you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send a custom proposal with your contract and invoice. A signed contract and 25% retainer officially secure your date.

02. Plan + Be Guided
We’ll schedule your engagement session so you can get comfortable in front of the camera and create natural, relaxed photos together. It’s also a great chance for us to connect before the wedding day.
As your wedding approaches, I’ll help review your timeline and key details so everything flows smoothly and you can enjoy the day without worrying about the schedule.

03. Relive Your Day
When the wedding day arrives, you focus on celebrating.
I’ll document the day as it naturally unfolds—from the quiet moments to the big celebrations—capturing the energy and emotion of your wedding with bold, vibrant imagery.
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive sneak peeks to relive the excitement. Your full gallery will follow within 4–6 weeks, delivered in an online gallery where you can download, share, and order albums or prints if you’d like.
I photograph adventurous and carefree couples who love their family, celebrate their diversity, and trust in capturing the candid beauty of their love story. Whether you’re hiking to a mountaintop for your vows, saying "I do" in a rustic barn surrounded by loved ones, or celebrating under the stars at a vineyard, I’m here to capture it all.
My couples are the kind of people who find joy in exploring new places, cozying up by a campfire, or planning weekends filled with kayaking, wine tastings, or road trips. With a blend of natural, effortless posing and real, unscripted moments, I’ll create images that preserve every laugh, tear, and unforgettable detail—true to who you are and the adventure you’re living together.
