Wedding Photographer MD, DC, VA

Over 1,000 Weddings Experience

My Wedding Style is a Mixture of Documentary, Fine Art, and Traditional.

Your wedding day will pass in a heartbeat — a swirl of laughter, trembling hands, whispered vows, and the way you look at each other when no one else is watching. My role is to protect those moments. I move quietly, observing the emotion as it unfolds, allowing you to be fully present with the people you love. When gentle guidance is needed, I offer it softly, so nothing ever feels forced or staged. The result is a collection of photographs that feel intimate, cinematic, and timeless — images that don’t just show how your day looked, but how it felt.

Let me show your story as it unfolds

What Some Clients Are Saying

“Steve is AWESOME! He is edgy, creative, and far from your traditional photographer! He has an amazing eye and great vision! Great traditional pictures and breathtaking edgy pictures with flair, but still family appropriate. Such a true pleasure to work with! We would recommend him to all our friends and family! Best photographer EVER!!!!!”

— Suzy

A man embracing a woman with tattoos, both appearing content and affectionate, with the woman wearing a white lace top and jewelry.

“Steve is absolutely fantastic. He will give you art. I honestly want to hang his pictures everywhere. I was completely surprised at how quickly he took pictures after the wedding. This guy knows what he is doing. His assistant Patrick is great as well. I wanted someone who wouldn’t just take still shots of everyone, and more candid, and he gave me exactly what I wanted. The moments he caught are magical.”

— Cathleen

“The most under-rated and perhaps brilliant photographer within the D.C. Metropolitan area. I simply cannot recommend a better or more talented individual for any of your photography needs. Whysall Photography is hands down, the best kept secret in Northern Virginia. Your pictures will turn out remarkable, trust me! ((:-”
