Crystal Vandegrift

Owner & Lead Photographer

Yes, wedding photography is my “job,” but it never feels like a job,
and we never make our couples feel like they are just another job
on the books. Producing great images is essential, but wedding
photography is a lot about building relationships, and over the
years, we have made some fantastic friends!
​My idea of wedding day photography is to provide our couples
with a non-intrusive, easy-going, and flexible approach. Our style
is natural, unique, and spontaneous, capturing those special
moments of your wedding day. 
One of my brides said it best, "Crystal knows when to provide
​direction and when to let things flow naturally."

What Our Clients Are Saying

Pictures were one of my top priorities for my wedding. I spent a lot of time reading through photographers and even contacting some. I was also pretty nervous, I had never been professionally photographed before. Crystal and her team were SO easy to work with and immediately took away the nerves. I trusted her completely and I am so happy I did. Cannot recommend enough!  Ellen - Yorktown VA

If you're looking for an amazing photographer who is relaxed, has experience, and knowledge look no further. Crystal took our engagement and wedding photos. Not only were her photos amazing, but she is extremely responsive to messages and will even help you when planning your big day. It was important to us to work with a photographer who has experience with same sex couples, and Crystal and Casey did a great job capturing everything for my wife and I. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. - Emily - Nellysford, VA
