We couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding photographer. Karissa and Jeremy took our engagement and wedding photos. They made us feel comfortable being in front of the camera right away. It rained everyday leading up to the wedding day, even the day of right before our first look and Karissa always had a plan B in mind. She really calmed my nerves. The engagement photos and previews to our wedding album are stunning and I can't wait to see the rest of the our photos.

How can I give more than 5 stars! Karissa is not only a very talented photographer but also a stunning person! We did a mini engagement session with her and immediately feel in love with her style! Day of the wedding (even though we were behind schedule) she remained calm, confident and displayed great leadership to get through all shots we wanted! One of the shots we were so married to (no pun intended) was “golden hour” pictures… and even though family pictures went over she made sure to keep us on track to make those pictures - and we are so thankful!!! Our teaser pictures came from those and they were everything we hoped for!!

Wedding photography can feel stressful… you feel like you are being pulled in every direction, forced smiles and herding family feels like herding cats… not with Karissa and her husband… they have a gentle guiding voice that prompts you through each thing, they stay fun and lively to help you give natural smiles and they were very patient with our huge family with nine flower girls and ring bearers!!

It was also very helpful that they let us just naturally be us… she didn’t try putting us in poses that felt forced, instead she would give simple instruction to get us in the direction of what she was looking for then gave us the space to make it our own! Another special moment of our day is that we added a last dance - just my husband and I (and Karissa) in the space - we kind-of surprised her with it, but she was all for it! She was a wonderful addition to our day and we are so stinking excited to see our wedding pictures!!!

12/10 would recommend Out of Twig Photography for any and all photography needs in VA! They were one of the first vendors I booked for my engagement photos and wedding, and I'm SO happy with how everything has turned out! Karissa and Jeremy are an absolute joy to work with -- they are both extremely kind and down to earth, and also super professional. It's easy to tell they love what they do, and that is reflected in the beautiful photos you get as a result! Our engagement shoot was in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it was a bit more overcast and windier than we were hoping for a Labor Day weekend shoot. But Karissa made the most of the lighting and weather conditions and was able to create some stunning shots for us! We also ended up having rain (aka a hurricane) on our wedding day, but Karissa and Jeremy were absolute troopers and were out in the rain, directing family, bridesmaids, bride and groom etc. to make sure they were able to capture each special moment I wanted to remember from the day. They made the most of the somewhat limited photo locations at our venue since we couldn't be outside for long, but they still delivered the most amazing photos that were better than I could have ever expected! I cannot thank Karissa and Jeremy enough for everything, and I'm so glad I was able to work with them and get to know them! :)
