Business Details
We are Steve and Jane Pilkerton, wedding photographers serving Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. We are a husbandandwife team specializing in classic, elegant, and modern portrait styles. We believe that great wedding photography is an art, a craft, and a social skill. That's why we focus on creating extraordinary imagery while making you feel comfortable and relaxed. We don't require a perfect setting to capture stunning photographs and we never ask you to pose silly or pretend. We produce gorgeous lighting instantly whenever needed and we expertly read emotion to anticipate the moments that matter most. Being born and raised in the DC Metro area, we know the best locations for wedding and engagement portraits.
Our extensive training covers all aspects of the wedding day, with a particular focus on lighting and posing. Training with many of the top wedding photographers worldwide gives us confidence to create beautiful images in any season, weather, or location. With many years of experience, we know exactly where to be and what equipment to use at the most important moments. We are willing to go to great lengths, such as laying in a muddy field or climbing a tree, to capture the perfect unique shot. After years photographing weddings in the Northern Virginia, Maryland, Baltimore, and D.C. Metro area, we deliver the best wedding photos you will love.
