VIRGINIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

We are Lewis and Shardae!

We’re a husband-and-wife photography duo based in Hampton Roads, passionate about making you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Whether it’s weddings, engagements, or special moments, we’re here to serve first and capture your story with heart.

Our love story is a little unexpected, but incredibly special. We first met back in 2008 while both serving on active duty in the military. What started as a friendship grew over the years as we stayed in touch, supporting each other through life’s seasons. Then, ten years later in 2018, we decided to take a leap and give dating a try—and the rest is history! Now, we're not only partners in life but in business, capturing meaningful moments together through photography and building a life full of love, creativity, and purpose.

Our Lens, YOUR Story

We believe our true purpose is to use the talents, skills, and abilities that God has blessed us with to serve, love, and uplift those around us. For us, photography isn’t just about capturing pretty pictures — it’s about creating meaningful memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.
