Fun, Modern & Vibrant Wedding Photography
Documentary Style Wedding Photography serving VA, NC and MD
Wedding photography for couples who crave REAL over posed, BOLD over bland, JOY over perfection—and capturing your story, exactly as it unfolds.
Your wedding day isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection, energy, and the people who make your world feel like home.
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 where everything feels heavy and beautiful all at once. 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’ll help when you need it, disappear when you don’t, and document the day as it unfolds—honestly, artfully, and with bold, vibrant color that brings every moment to life.
We show up as a calm presence, a hype person when needed, and someone you can trust to capture the story exactly as it felt—not just how it looked.
If you want wedding photos that feel alive, emotional, and unmistakably yours, let’s talk.
Reach out, tell us what you’re planning, and let’s see if we’re the right fit to tell your story.

Let’s Make Some Magic
No fluff. No pressure. Just you, your people, and the memories worth remembering.
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.
