Heather Hughes Photography, LLC

Heather did an AMAZING job! Upon first meeting her I felt that she would do an excellent job of capturing the mood of our wedding, and she definitely did. There was some chaos at our wedding as it began raining 30 minutes before our beach ceremony was to start and we had to do the ceremony and group photos elsewhere. She did a great job of adapting to the situation and got some awesome pictures!
Another thing we really liked about working with Heather is that she made us feel very comfortable. She's very professional but warm and friendly as well. We definitely recommend her!

Unbelievable customer service and quality of work. We live in Vermont and had to plan our wedding by looking at on-line vendors in the greater Williamsburg area and making phone calls. Heather's website got us excited about her work. When we spoke with her on the phone we were sold by her friendly, helpful attitude. The quality and originallity of her photos is obvious. We spent a lot of time checking out all our vendors and Heather came out on top. She did a nice mixture of candid and portrait shots, and gave us hundreds to choose from. She arrived at our venue in plenty of time to talk with us and discuss any details before the start of the ceremony. Our rating of Heather is a five out of five.

When it comes to choosing the most important components of your wedding planning, you should put particular emphasis on the selection of your photographer. Do yourself a huge favor and get on the phone with Heather Hughes of Heather Hughes Photography to make an appointment. We were lucky enough to have Ms. Hughes photograph our daughter's wedding on June 2, 2012. Of all the wonderful vendors we had that day, Heather was one of the best. She was on time and friendly but professional. Even though we were running late, she got right to work helping us with last minute items and offering helpful advice to a grateful Mother of the Bride. The entire afternoon and evening, Heather was always, amazingly, in the right place at the right time. In addition, she created for my daughter and her new husband, wonderful images, many of which were so creative in their concept. These were ideas that we never would have thought of ourselves and which have become some of the hallmark photographs that captured that amazing day. We will never be able to thank Heather enough for her talented work, solid work ethic and warm friendship that day. If you don't book her immediately for your wedding, you will be missing the best opportunity to ensure that your wedding is captured through the eyes of this amazing photographer!

Heather is amazing, very patient, and willing to do whatever she can to make your day special. She is fabulous with kids too!!

Heather was absolutely amazing for our wedding! She met with us several times before the big day and was very accommodating with any requests we had. Heather was so prepared for every meeting and we loved looking through the photos she had previously done (especially as some of them were at our venue). She did a great job capturing the "moments" of our special day which was exactly what we were looking for! In addition, after our wedding, we became a bit unresponsive at times when she was trying to design our album as we got back into our day to day life, but she never was upset with us! She was gracious and so supportive of our busy lifestyle. She also did a great job designing our album and I look through it every day.

Heather was the best of both worlds the day of. She is fun to be around and a wonderful person so its easy to spend the whole day with her, but she also blended into the background to capture all the right moments without being intrusive. I would recommend her any day to anyone! We were very lucky to be able to have her capture our special...

Heather was the best vendor we had for our wedding by far!! She did both our engagement and our wedding photos. She took so many great pictures it was tough to choose our favorites for our albums. I would highly recommend her to anyone for any type of photo session that you need. She is one of the most professional and responsive vendors of any kind that i have ever dealt with! You will not be disappointed if you choose Heather Hughes Photography.

Heather got way over the 400 photos required. I loved them all and I'm so glad that she was there for Derek and I on our big day.

Let me just say that I honestly can not stand getting my picture taken...I simply do not like it. To say I was a challenging subject is putting it mildly.

Aside from the pictures that every couple has to "endure", I hardly noticed them. Excellent job on their behalf, because the photos obviously prove they were everywhere! They are very easy to work with, always on time and had excellent communication with us. We were looking someone that was laid back yet professional; Heather and Rob have both in spades. Do yourself a favor and explore what they have to offer--you won't be disappointed with the results.

Heather was awesome! I knew from the moment that I met with her that I wasn't going to have to worry about a thing! I got so many compliments from my guests about how attentive she was. Whenever there was a photo-op she was right there to capture the moment. Our families (and us) couldn't have been happier with the way the pictures turned out! She even accomodated a change in our time at the last minute extending an hour to take some extra shots. I can't thank her enough. She was very professional and personal at the same time. I HIGHLY recommend her for you photography needs!! Thanks Heather!

Heather was a pleasure to work with. She exceeded our expectations and captured all the memorable moments of our big day. Heather was very easy to get along with and open to all our suggestions and feedback. Thanks Heather for the beautiful pictures!

She did a great job, very personable and responsive. Very flexible in working around our schedules for meeting prior to the wedding to cover all the details and specifics. She captured the day and all the special moments perfectly. Would definitely recommend Heather!

Heather was great. The pictures were awesome, she was very professional before, during and after the wedding, yet she was fun and personable during the wedding. My guest remarked that she was very pleasant and nice. She drove more than a couple hours for our event and she was there all day. I am thoroughly impressed with her work and professionalism.

Heather was a pleasure to work with and she is an incredibly talented photographer. I am pleased with all of my wedding photos and have received many compliments from friends and family. I would highly recommend her for those who want photojournalistic photos.

She provides the story of your big day through the photos she takes. And their will be photos included of moments on your big day that you didn't realize had even occurred! Heather is very professional and very people-friendly.

Highly recommended! I loved the personal style of Heather Hughes Photography on focusing on the ad-hoc moments of our special day and not posing for pictures (I'm not photogenic at all). During the entire day of the wedding, I hardly noticed they were there and the pictures turned out beautiful!

Heather was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone. For all the money spent on a wedding, this is one investment that will last a lifetime. Heather was personable, interested in our story and in what we wanted our wedding day to be, and flexible in meeting our needs. On our wedding day she captured everything, yet was hardly noticed. And now the best part -we absolutely love our pictures!! The day we got them, we looked at them over and over and over again. Only one word came to mind - WOW. She truly captured the feel of the day and gave us a priceless gift - the ability to re-live our magical day.

Heather was amazing! She was warm and friendly but was very professional in handling family pictures and keeping the "show-on-the-road." I felt very comfortable with her and most importantly, my pictures were perfect! She definately captured the spirit and feeling of our wedding day in each and every shot. I live in Seattle and my wedding was in Virginia so I was left to find a photographer online. I was very lucky to find Heather and would recommend her to any bride!

Heather was fantastic! If you're looking for a wedding photographer with a little bit of style, she's your girl. I have gotten a million comments on how wonderful her pictures are.

Our photos turned out awesome and she was able to work with our style for the wedding.

I wish I could scream to the world how happy I am that we had Heather do our photos!!! We LOVE our photos. When you look at the pictures you feel as though you are experiencing the wedding even if you did not attend it. The candid shots are awesome and the still shots are wonderful. She captured every moment, I mean every moment. Just as the other reviewers stated you would never know that she attended the wedding. I would recommend her to everyone I meet. She is very professional, her contract is easy to read a understand. I live in the Richmond area and she would email, send a reminder card or call just to keep in touch. We also met a couple times within the year to touch base. Our photos were completed less than 2 weeks after the wedding. We just have one dilemma, We don't know which photos to pick for our formal album because they all are Fantastic!! Heather thanks for giving us WONDERFUL DOCUMENTED MEMORIES of our wedding!!!!

Heather was such a pleasure to work with. All transactions were easy and professional. The day of the wedding she was on time (which we were late), and had already set up an appointment for photos in the lighthouse! Before we even returned from our honeymoon our photos were online at our website and ready for us to send to all our friends and family. All of our posed pics were great but the random action shots are the BEST. Thanks Heather for a wonderful experience and capturing our wedding day with beautiful photos! I would recommend Heather Hughes photography 110%.

Heather was absolutely amazing to work with! She is extremly professional but is very friendly and approachable. She was always on top of things and responded to our questions timely before the wedding and had all of the photos posted online within 2 weeks afterwards. Our proof book arrrived just days later. She made the planning process extremly easy and the wedding day went absolutely perfectly. The pictures came out AMAZING and we couldn't have been happier with them. She seemed to have captured the whole entire day perfectly. She was everywhere taking photos constantly but you never seemed to see her as she blended in so well. Our friends and family referred to her as our "ninja photographer". The traditional shots came out great and were still natural and not overly posed. The candid shots were fantastic! She captured some great moments and we couldn't have been happier in choosing Heather and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Heather did an absolutely amazing job. She exceeded mine and my husband's expectations. From getting back our proofs on time to always following up with us thoughout the whole process to the actual day in keeping everyone on track and capturing every emotion of the day. She truly is a professional and gives the best service (and her prices are very reasonable). She is organized and got all the "shots" we wanted and they turned out amazing! I would highly recommend Heather to anyone!

Of all of the vendors we chose, I looked forward to meeting with Heather the most. She was very personable, professional, and easy going. On our wedding day her work was sharp, detailed, and captured the special moments of our day that we were not able to witness personally. She told our wedding day story the way we would have told it, had we possessed her talent and vision. Her services were by far our best wedding investment.

Heather was great and did everything we expected a professional to do.She made our day a special one even though it rained she found a way to make the pictures turn out great. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER SERVICES TO ANYONE.

I can't even begin to express how I feel about Heather and her photography services. As a bride, it was so important to me to have my wedding day not only captured accurately , but also artistically. Heather exceeded my expectations in both regards. I was torn between two photographers, and my husband said to me "I want Heather, hands down". I'm so glad he did. In our meetings prior to the wedding day, she listened to what my husband and I said that we wanted from our photographs, and when we saw the finished product we were not only impressed with her work, but overjoyed that she captured all of the moments that we had told her we hoped she could get on film. There were many people that we weren't able to invite to our wedding, but as soon as they saw Heather's pictures, they told me that they could feel the mood of the event. My husband, our families, and myself ran a gamut of emotions on our wedding day, and every single one of them can be seen and felt in the fantastic photos that Heather took. Everytime I look at my album and at all of the photos that I have hung up in our home (which, by the way...has become a little excessive!) I feel so satisfied. Not only did I marry a wonderful man, but I certainly picked the best possible woman to record the most wonderful day of my life onto film. Heather did an amazing job blending into the event. There is nothing worse than the feeling that your being followed around by a camera! She really went the extra mile to get every shot, including taking photos while driving behind the trolley that held the entire wedding party! She's like superwoman :-) She's professional, courteous, funny, and she's worth every penny. In my opinion, chosing another photographer over Heather would be a regretful choice.

Heather was great to work with. I appreciated that she was professional but very approachable and put us at ease. Our ceremony was rather complicated, but she did a great job of catching all the important moments and the beauty of the ceremony and our friends. She provided us with some great packages to choose from, and we got so many amazing photos for the price we paid. Her style is candid yet beautiful, and she was so unobtrusive that we never noticed her taking pictures!

Heather far exceeded our expectations which were pretty high to begin with. She did our engagement photos which were spectacular and from that point forward I was sooo excited going forward with our wedding. She truly captured the feeling and essence of our day. The emotion, the joy, the conflicting feelings of joy and sadness of my dad. It takes a true talent to capture the sort of shots she did. If you like photojournalist styles that are not too posed and very artistic, PICK HEATHER HUGHES PHOTOGRAPHY:-) We got sooo many compliments on our wedding pics.

Heather was my wedding photographer and I could not have made a better choice. Not only is she professional and extremely talented, but she is also so much fun to work with....

My pictures turned out beautifully and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Heather!

From the moment I met Heather I knew she would be perfect for our wedding. Her calm demeanor kept everyone at ease throughout our event. All of our pictures reveal her immense talent and ability to make everyone look fantastic. She even captured my father-in-law with several smiles (which isn’t an easy feat)! Her photographs showcase a natural and artistic beauty that make it hard to decide on what pictures to order!

I could not have been happier with our selection and HIGHLY recommend Heather to anyone who wants beautiful memories from their wedding. Out of all my vendors, Heather was my favorite!

Heather did an amazing job with our wedding pictures. When the day is over, all you have left is your pictures-they will become your most vivid memories, and Heather made sure that we will have those memories for a lifetime. She was extremely professional, and incredibly responsive. There was no stress involved in working with her and she always made sure that we were happy with what was occuring. Everyone has loved our pictures and I couldn't be happier with the result. She captured all the right moments and was very accomodating. I felt comfortable having her around and I appreciate her hard work.

I would recommend Heather Hughes to any couple getting married. She is absolutely the most professional, friendly photographer out there. We both really loved her style and approach, she was genuinely interested in capturing the moments that were special to us. She is very easy to get along with and is interested in helping make your day the best it can be. If you are looking for a photographer who can capture amazing wedding/reception moments without making it obvious, Heather is the photographer for you.
Absolutely loved all the of the photographs she took at our wedding!

Heather was just what we were looking for. We liked her style of photography, the prices she offered, her professionalism and flexibility, and the services she had.

We are from the Hampton Roads area but currently live in the Washington D.C. area. We wanted our wedding to take place in Virginia Beach, so it was a lot of traveling back and forth. After a few e-mail exchanges, we finally were able to meet up with Heather one weekend. Heather's business is run out of the Newport News area, but we had many appointments to attend to in Virginia Beach. Heather was very flexible with setting up a meeting that she offered to meet us on our way back to D.C. at a Panera. Heather had albums to show us and we were able to talk about what we wanted. We found that her prices were reasonable for our budget and liked the packages she had available.

We liked her so much that we decided to work with Heather. Heather was very responsive to our e-mails not matter how many questions we had. She was very professional and spoke to us like we were old friends.

In the package that we purchased, we opted to have some engagement photos taken. Heather offered to come up to the Washington D.C. area to have a photo shoot around the city! This worked out really well for us as we wanted to capture how the beginning of our engagement came to be. We felt silly during the photo shoot, but Heather was able to offer us words of encouragement and suggestions for poses. Heather was also open to hear our suggestions.

During the ceremony and reception back in Virginia Beach, Heather was on time and prepared. Both parties had an early morning and Heather and Rob were troopers! Heather took photos with the bride's family while Rob worked with the groom. Again, her professionalism was outstanding. At the reception, Heather took photos on the beach with the wedding party while Rob took photos inside.

When creating the album, the process was simple. We chose the pictures that we wanted and told Heather about any words we wanted in or on the album. Heather took our choices and then sent us drafts of the layout that we were able to make changes to or approve. If we had any questions, Heather was right there to walk us through the steps and offer any advise along the way. Heather also let us know where she was in the process of making our album and the DVDs with all the pictures. They arrived well packaged and we were able to enjoy the items immediately.

All in all, we truly enjoyed working with Heather and would recommend her to anyone!

My husband and I met with many photographers before finding Heather. Everyone else seemed either unprofessional or pushy like they wanted to run the show. Heather was extremely professional, and during the wedding and reception, I hardly even knew she was there. I was amazed to see the pictures she caught at those unexpected moments.

Heather's style is photo-journalistic. Our pictures are amazing. She captured all the moments we wanted and we hardly knew she was there. She is very un-obtrusive while she works which was exactly what we hoped for. I couldn't be happier with how our pictures turned out, and so much was included!! She was even gracious enough to send me a free replacement disc of all my photos after our new puppy ATE the original!

I have worked with many photographers and Heather Hughes is one of the best ever.

Heather is a wonderful photographer. You can't go wrong when you hire her to do all of your wedding photography.

Heather Hughes Photography is simply beautiful work!! She has an eye for such creative and amazing pictures...you can tell she truly loves what she does, and really cares about the bride!! Check her out - you will NOT be disappointed!!

Heather is extremely professional, caring, and dedicated to her craft. She never misses a shot, yet is never intrusive in the moment. I enjoy working with Heather and so do my clients. Thank you Heather!

True Professional

Heather is an amazing photojournalist known for catching exceptional moments on film. She is creative, passionate, and incredibly wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Heather is an absolute pleasure to work with... very professional and easy going. She gets the shots and is completely unobtrusive while doing so. Highly recommended!

Recently I had the honor to work w/Heather at a large multi-location wedding. She was easy going, professional and seemed to disappear into the event. She took wonderful photo's and captured scences throughout the day and evening.
