Pamela Lepold Photography

Pamela was amazing! Before anyone showed up at the wedding venue, I saw her walking around the grounds scoping out spots to take pictures. So many photographers I see at other weddings put you in a spot and don't move you more than a couple feet. Pamela had us moving around to several spots. It made the experience fun and gives SO many great pictures of the day. She really captured, not only the space, but the mood of the day.

On a scale of one to five stars, Pamela's a ten! She took our engagement and wedding photos. Being nervous to have professional photographs taken for the first time in a long time, Pamela put us right at ease. She first contacted us about what we were looking for, did we want our pictures to be more romantic, artsy, classic, etc? We laughed during the whole shoot and I couldn't believe how fast the time went. When we saw the pictures, we were amazed! They were exactly what we had been looking for! I couldn't wait to show everyone!

On our wedding, more of the same. Each detail was beautifully captured so that we can relive the day whenever we like. Pamela has an amazing eye, and the pictures look like pieces of art! She had scouted our location prior to our wedding, checking for great locations. Each setting she recommended, we gladly agreed to, knowing what would become of it. During family photos (which I've seen be long and drawn out at previous weddings), she had already sketched out a timeline of who would be in what picture when, creating such efficiency that we were back on the dance floor in no time!

Hire Pamela today! You will be so happy with her professionalism, flexibility, creativity and the memories she helps you to keep forever!

If I could give Pamela Lepold a score above a 5.0, I would. Hands down. We found Pamela on both the Washingtonian Bride & Groom list and on the Preferred Vendor list for our reception venue, the Fairmont Hotel. Finding the perfect photographer was extremely important to us and we set up seven interviews with outstanding vendors. Pamela was the first we interviewed and I must say we ended up comparing everyone else to her. During our meeting she immediately put my husband and I at ease and patiently walked us through our schedule of events, which was so helpful. By talking through our day we determined that we wanted to do a First Look and she suggested some locations that we should consider. She showed us albums of previous weddings she had covered and we were so impressed with her skill and artistic vision. Her style was exactly what we wanted and her sweetness and professionalism sealed the deal. She has this fabulous big-sister quality where you know she'll take care of you and really make sure you're happy and protected. And that's exactly the kind of person you want around you on your special day. Pamela and her assistant, Amy, were truly excellent. They took such beautiful pictures of EVERYTHING. They were so patient with us, which is huge because my husband and I are not the most graceful subjects. And at the end of the evening they were flexible with adding another hour when we asked. That's a very long day for them both and we sincerely appreciate how fabulous they were. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and we are having a hard time choosing our favorites for the album -- there are just so many beautiful shots to choose from! I highly recommend Pamela to any bride and groom looking for an excellent photographer. She is worth every cent and truly added to our perfect day. We look forward to working with her in the future! Thank you, Pamela. You're awesome!

Pamela is an artist! We cherish our pictures.

Pamela could not have been better. Her photos perfectly captured every last detail of the wedding and people's true emotions. If you want your photos to have personality and are looking for a creative perspective then Pamela is who you should choose. We have received endless compliments on the photos. Furthermore she made us feel at ease during the wedding day. She identified the best spots for photos but also listened to what we wanted as well. She was professional and a true talent. We hope to work with her again!

Pamela is a wonderful photographer! You can tell she knows what she is doing, and she truly loves weddings. She brought another photographer with her that day which I think really helped them capture everything.

Pamela definitely helps run the show - my wedding coordinator was very absent on the day of, and Pamela definitely stepped up. That being said, she will try to keep you on schedule, and I could tell the few times she got irritated when her subjects were distracted. Let's just say she shows her emotions easily.

I was also so impressed with how quickly the website was up - within a week! Plus, it was a LOT of photos, unlike some photographers I spoke with.

My only real complaint is the cost of albums and prints. I compared a lot of photographers and she is fairly priced for the day itself. But the print and album costs are so high that I am not going to be buying those items from her. Just a personal preference on my part.

Overall, I would absolutely...

We very much enjoyed our experience with Pamela Lepold Photography. My husband and I were married in Old Town Alexandria in June, and we had interviewed several photographers, but were most impressed with Pamela's portfolio and previous interviews on Wedding Wire. From the first email, Pamela was very professional and responsive. While meeting at her home studio was out of the way for us, we are very happy that we made the trip as her work can be truly appreciated as seen in the photobooks and framed . For the quality of her work, the cost for her packages is very good. We could tell from her pre-wedding session that she is experienced.

Having Pamela was also like having a wedding planner as she scouted the wedding venue the week before the wedding to find locations for good shots. She reviewed all the small details which we had not thought of. *She also created a working timeline for the entire wedding, which showed how experienced she is*.

We were very satisfied with our experience. At first we had a difficult time with not being able to have complete access to all of the images on CD format (you do get it after 1 year), but after seeing the images touched up and on the website to be ordered and professionally printed, we were completely appeased as the quality is THAT GOOD.

She's the best. Her #1 goal is for you to have the best photos and she does what it takes to get it done. We have recommended her to several friends already.

We just did our Engagement Photos with Pamela and we loved them so much we wanted to write a review early! We had an idea about the location and feel for our portraits (Old Town Alexandria / modern style) and Pamela came up with multiple locations in that area that made for creative and unique photos.
Pamela also helped us plan for pictures before the day itself and I'm so glad she did! I think anyone using her will find that she has the experience to anticipate your wants/needs, which is going to make the big day go much more smoothly and will make for more great photos.
We have also been very satisfied with the value of her services (she goes out of her way to make sure you have gorgeous photos - she scouted locations, personally listened and planned the engagement session with us and made sure we had a great time and felt relaxed the entire time). I would highly recommend her to couples who really want the best in the area!

Pamela was so personal and sweet during all the planning of my daughter's wedding. She got great shots but was absolutely invisible during the church ceremony, which we discussed because I have seen it to be such a distraction at other weddings I have attended. The personal touch and attention to detail made the entire process work great and the pictures are beautiful.

We were very fortunate to have found Pamela. She left us more than satisfied with absolutely everything.

Perhaps the most valuable thing was that she was so delightful the day of the wedding. One of the reasons we chose her was her personality and charm, which really made the difference. We wanted a photographer who could get as many shots as possible, but didn't want to feel like s/he was an annoyance. That's exactly what Pamela gave us.

She's a gifted photographer and the wedding album she put together for us was stunning. We highly recommend Pamela...

Pamela photographed our wedding less than one month ago. The results were amazing! She captured all of the important moments but so many more with her classic and beautiful style. To say she exceeded our expectations would be a major understatement. The best part is I hardly remember her being there! She is easily one of the most professional photographers in DC. And her processing time was unbelievable - we were still on our honeymoon when she got us the results. We couldn't put a price on our wedding photos - which we will cherish forever!

Pamela is such a talented photographer. She met with us prior to the wedding to discuss what we liked about our venue location and the area around it. Then she scouted out places to take photos after the ceremony in advance and sent us a comprehensive roundup of her thoughts. It really made us feel part of the creative process. Our wedding day turned out to be the only day in October to have snow in VA, but that didn't phase Pamela. She adjusted our plan and ended up producing gorgeous pictures that we might not have gotten had she not been so quick on her feet and creative. She brings a fine arts eye to this part of the wedding process and we could not be happier with the end results!

Having a great photographer was one of our priorities. Immediately after meeting Pamela we knew that she was exactly what we were looking for. We loved her style and how her pictures were really unique, and not just the standard cookie-cutter wedding pictures. We shared her view that a photographer should capture all the important moments without being the center of attention. I didn't see her or her assistant at all during the ceremony but the pictures came out great. She kept everything on schedule and got all of the special pictures we requested. We were also very impressed with how she scouted out our location beforehand and knew exactly where to go to get some great shots with my husband and I alone and with our bridal party.

After the wedding, she was so fast getting all of our pictures online for us that we got to look at them while we were still on our honeymoon. We really couldn't have been happier working with Pamela. Although it was on the high end of what we wanted to pay for a photographer, we were very happy with the value we got for the money and think it was well worth the cost.

I had the privilege of being able to have an amazing photographer for my wedding day. Pamela Lepold Photography!! She was prompt, she was patient, and had an amazing eye for what I had envisioned my pictures would be! She was so down to earth and made us laugh the whole time, not to mention very professional. I loved that she was there throughout the whole evening with everyone, I felt like I had known her for years! There cannot be a price put on the value, service, professionalism, and kindness she provided to myself, husband, and family. I will use her again in the near future, as several of my family members have already booked her because they liked her so much! Thank you so much Pamela! You captured my day like no one else could.

We used Pamela for our engagement photos and her work was beautiful! She is very professional but personable as well and helped us create images that best captured our love for one another. She was flexible with us and our outfit changes and paid attention to the details which truly made a difference. We will definitely be using her services again!

Pamela Lepold Photography was so much more than a photographer for our wedding. As a bride there is so much that goes into planning a wedding, but Pamela helped ensure that all of the necessary details were there. She walked me through our big day before we had to actually do it, making sure everything was in place. After giving Pamela a list of my family and wedding party she seemed to know them all by name (and that is no small feat, I have a pretty large family). My favorite example of how Pamela is so much more than a photographer was when I was given the knife to cut the cake and she leaned in to ask if we knew how to cut the cake...of course that was a detail I didn't think about :) Pamela told us how to cut a slice without destroying the entire thing and she saved us from making a mess of our beautiful cake.

Now Photography-wise...the pictures were beautiful! I got married during a hurricane so it made taking pictures kind of tricky. Also, because of the craziness of the day we were unable to get to one of our photography sites. Pamela was prepared with several other sites that were probably even more beautiful than our original plan.

Pamela has a plan when all plans goes awry! She is so much more than an awesome photographer! I would recommend her to every bride-to-be that I know.

Of course I wish that photography was so expensive, but when searching around her prices were reasonable compared to other photographers in the area and like I said...you get so much more than a photographer.

Pamela is a phenomenal photographer. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and prepare yourself for the most incredible photos from your wedding. She was extremely flexible and gave us above and beyond excellent work! Major thumbs up :)

Pamela did a wonderful job. She met with us ahead of time to see what kind of photos we wanted. She arrived with plenty of time before the ceremony. She was very familiar with the location of the ceremony, so she knew the best places for photos. She had never been to the venue where we had the reception, so she went on her own in the days before the wedding to scout out some good spaces for pictures. She got the photos online with remarkable speed. We were all very impressed with her work.

Pamela was wonderful! She was so calm and patient. When she said she would be "non-obtrusive" she was correct. The groom had said he didn't want a camera "in his face" while getting ready and at the wedding-he was so impressed with Pamela that for many of the pictures he didn't even know she was there. Pamela's experience was very apparent and one of the main comments I got from the guests was how impressed they were with the photographer! For the pictures that involved young children-Pamela knew just what to do to get a good shot of the kids. She also suggested getting pictures at a park after the wedding and she recommended a battlefield that was close by that she had scouted out. Those pictures came out wonderful also and I was so glad she made that recommendation. All in all I would highly recommend Pamela-especially since with wedding pictures you have one "shot" to get them right and by going with Pamela you can be assured of quality pictures that will last a lifetime.

Having Pamela as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding plans. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is such a kind and helpful person. She was readily available by phone, responded immediately to emails, and even met with us on weekends. Having consultations in her studio was very relaxing and stress-free. She also gave us invaluable advice on various aspects of our wedding plans. During our wedding day, Pamela and her colleague Cristina were both there as our photographers, and they interacted very well and respectfully with our guests. Cristina even kindly helped a family of our guests out of a tough spot and helped them get to our reception venue. After the wedding, Pamela had both our online photo gallery and proof album ready for us faster than we could have expected. The proof album is leather bound and beautiful. Thanks Pamela!

Pamela was GREAT! Our engagement was pretty short and we did not have a lot of time to prepare for our wedding just 4 months and she made this experience a great one. We feel very lucky that she could capture our unforgettable moments since the day went so fast. She was totally affordable, work with our special requests, gave us her ideas, and kept the day going excited and encouraging. She stayed later than it was in her contract. I don't think we could have asked for more. Thank you!

Pamela did an amazing job. I actually had two days of weddings, a Persian Ceremony on a Friday and a Church Ceremony on Saturday. Pamela did both events. Her patient and calming demeanor were great for a frazzled bride like myself. She handled all of the family masquerading as photographers very nicely as well. Her photos are so beautiful. We just picked up our proof books last night. My husband and I are amazed at the quality of the photographs that she took.

Her work is better than I could have ever dreamed of. She is the utmost professional and I would highly suggest working with Pamela.

Pamela is an exceptional photographer. I did my research and after meeting with a number of photographers, I knew that I shouldn't go with somebody else. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is absolutely true. With Pamela you can expect nothing but the best quality service, pictures, and products. We used her for our engagement session as well as our wedding. My husband is NOT a fan of getting his picture taken, but Pamela was able to get him to loosen up and we have never had better photographs of the two of us together! We couldn't be happier with our choice.

Pamela was absolutely fantastic. I tend to shy away from being in pictures so I was dreading my wedding day. However once I met Pamela I felt so much better. She took fantastic pictures, she was super flexible, constantly kept in touch before the wedding and was a dream to work with. I highly recommend her!

We can't say enough good things about Pamela. Her pictures were beautiful and had so many great and creative ideas for pictures as well as incorporate ideas we had for pictures. She went above and beyond the standard posed family pictures. She was able to accurately and honestly capture the emotion of our wedding.

The quality of her pictures were rivaled only by her demeanor. She was a very calming, positive influence on what was a very hectic day. She wasn't pushy or invasive; she always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to capture every aspect of our wedding. Her attitude was always upbeat and positive and was extremely professional, yet always personal and approachable.

From our initial email to her asking for a meeting to picking up our proof book (which she had for us 2 weeks after the wedding), she has been so resposive to every question and request we had. She never took more than a few hours to respond, often doing so within minutes.

Pamela was well-worth the money we paid for her services and products.

She was very flexible with us. Whether it was meeting with us on weekends, responding to email in the evenings, Pamela always catered to our needs. In fact, she even allowed us to change our mind about something we had initially purchased and gave us our money back when we decided we didn't want it.

Pamela went above and beyond anything we could have expected to make our perfect; going so far as to even bustle the wedding dress on numerous occasions. We would highly recommend Pamela to anyone.

Marisa and Forrest

Pamela is absolutely wonderful! From the first moment we met with Pamela - we knew we wanted her to be the photographer for our wedding. We felt completely comfortable with her and knew she'd do an excellent job at our wedding.

Pamela didn't disappoint! She captured every moment of our special day down to every little detail. Based on Pamela's recommendation - we decided to take pictures before the ceremony so we could enjoy our guests during cocktail hour versus being busy with pictures. It was a great decision because rain set in just before the ceremony. But, Joe and I got an hour and a half of pictures outside prior to the ceremony and they turned out excellent. Pamela walked the entire property before we started pictures, and she took us to such beautiful places for pictures. During the ceremony and reception - we didn't even know Pamela was around but she captured every memory of our wedding.

Pamela sent us our wedding pictures on-line within a week of the wedding. We were on our honeymoon in Italy when we got the pictures and couldn't wait to look at all of the pictures she took. She got over 700 great pictures - we still have no idea how we're going to pick out pictures for our wedding album. Pamela also had our proof book ready just two weeks after the wedding.

We could not have been happier than we were with Pamela and her photos of our wedding day. She is not only an amazing photographer, but also a great person to work with and to include on your special day. We'd recommend her to everyone!

Our experience with Weddings by Pamela was seamless from the beginning. Pamela talked us through different options and her advise was spot on. The day of was equally seamless, but the best was that we had a lot of fun all along and everything felt effortless. Weddings by Pamela was an integral part of our day and provided us with wonderful photos that are fresh and reflect how much fun we had from beginning to end. Our photos are a delight to look at again and again and again.

We could not be more pleased with our decision to use Pamela as our wedding photographer. Before the wedding, she was extremely well organized. She asked great questions about our preferences and schedule. She also provided very good suggestions. On the day of the wedding, she kept us on schedule and worked hard to get us all the shots and groupings we wanted. She also did a wonderful job of scoping out locations for the pictures at our sites. When we received the photos, we were thrilled. They looked like us, but even better. She did a wonderful job of getting pictures that showed the story of our wedding and capturing the personalities of us and our guests. Her photos were so good that we are having difficulty trying to decide which ones to put in the album. If you decide to hire Pamela as your photographer, you will not be disappointed.

Pamela provides a personal touch that I dont think is easy to find with any photographer. We didnt see her as a vendor at our wedding, we saw her as a guest that we were honored to have at our wedding. We are looking forward having Pamela capture our next big life moment someday!

Loved them, everything was perfect.They gave us beautiful pictures and lasting memories!Our pictures turned out beautifully, and they was able to capture all of our emotions on our big day.

Pamela has a fierce eye for the beauty in everything. I had every bride's nightmare - a day-long downpour during my outdoor wedding. Despite my fear, Pamela may the gloomy day beautiful - taking pictures of the rain droplets, my wedding party under colorful umbrellas. My pictures turned out to be a work of art, and she captured every little detail.

I am sure that I will not be able to do justice or find the words to accurately describe the service received by Pamela. For some of the rating categories, I wish there was a greater than 5 option because she is that good.

The photos speak for themselves. Everyone has commented on how beautiful her work turned-out. I even got positive comments about her from my guests based on how she interacted with them on the wedding day. She and Bill (her Assistant) always kept their cool under pressure and I was absolutely at ease and felt totally comfortable with her interacting with and leading my guests as need be - knowing that she was doing so with the utmost respect, courtesy and in an engaging manner making everyone feel at ease. Her professionalism is top-notch and the quality of her work is first-rate!

Pamela was amazing! She has a real talent. We almost never noticed she was there. No idea how she got the shots she got because we didn't see her except when we had the formal shots! She does a perfect blend of formal and journalistic style photos. The day's events were perfectly captured showing the details of our hard planning that made it OUR personalized event. She is friendly, polite, has a great side-kick in tow, met us to learn about us. We hired her for engagement photos which was a great move because my husband and I had the chance to practice posing basically. She captured most of the day with us NOT posing. however, for outdoor shots of us with the bridal party they were formal shots that we posed for and learning to look at the camera was harder than we thought. The "practice" of an engagement session helped. She also learned which was my "good side" so took all good shots on the day of the wedding! Brilliant idea to do. She arrived early, photographed the site, kept us on schedule, she is so organized. She replied to emails so quickly and professionally. Frankly it is expensive BUT all were expensive. She was about $600-800 more than what we going to spend with another person (who happened to be the least expensive person we found) but with her we got 2 photographers AND we got the style of photos we hoped for - the other guy didn't capture the feeling of the moment, the mood, the elegance or caliber of the event like she did in every photo! So with what we'd have spent with the guy (~2600) we would have been sad to spend that much and get so little in comparison so from Pamela we are thrilled that we got much much much more from her AND what i really liked was that she is female. For me to have allowed a photographer in the room as my make-up was being done or my hair or getting my buttons done on the dress, i would NEVER have allowed a man to enter the room much less take photos. She did with very complimentary angles and with modesty that i didn't see from any of the male photographers. Maybe i'm not allowed to say that online but i did see a difference and i do think a women about to marry should not have a man see her partially dressed so this is my modest opinion but something others may agree with and not think of until it is too late. Just want to provide you with food for thought. We met with at least 8 photographers and companies and were so dissapointed we couldn't find THE one, until Pamela. Pamela was PERFECT! You'll see her website and know that those photos are the same quality you'll actually get on YOUR wedding day! Thanks Pamela!!!!

Pamela and her assistant were amazing to work with! They were extremely professional, but willing to work with us on most things so we got what we were looking for. They were a little expensive, but seeing the pictures makes it worth it!

Excellent quality of photos

I cannot say enough good things about this amazing photographer! She is so talented, she has such a kind heart, she is unobtrusive on your wedding day, yet able to get some of the most touching pictures. While the price was a bit out of my budget, my father was so impressed by her work that he said, "Book her!" and we are all so thankful that we did! She takes the time to get to know you, what you want and what you like, your style...she takes it to heart, and thats why I think her pictures come out so beautifully. Its worth every penny to have all the special moments of the happiest day of your life captured in a most creative way. Book her now!

Pamela is a truly amazing photographer and after a long search in the DC Metro Area, I am so happy I found her. She truly captures the moment and from someone who loves Black & White Photos, she is bar none the best. Pamela catches each and every detail and creates a story through her photography. I did not hire a videographer for my wedding and never needed one with the amazing photography pamela took for my special day. Pamela is so very easy to work with, very consultative and her turn around time on delivering proofs is amazing. If you are looking for a truly wonderful photographer, I HIGHLY recommend Pamela Lepold. You will not be disappointed.

We had an amazing experience working with Pamela and have gorgeous wedding pictures that will forever remind us of all the magical details of our special day. As a photographer myself, I was somewhat particular about what I was looking for, and Pamela was so flexible and responsive that I knew our day would be completely perfect and she would quietly capture it all. And, she did! Even though it rained and our outdoor ceremony was moved indoors at the last minute, Pamela rolled easily with the change and still went out with us to capture pictures of us playing in the rain and under the umbrellas before the ceremony. Those moments which may have caused stress for other photographers or couples, are some of our favorite shots and fondest memories. She supported our positive attitude about our day and helped make it completely stress free. Our wedding day was flawless in our eyes and in our photos. Thank you Pamela!

Pamela was fantastic from the very beginning. I hired her because I loved her photos - very fun yet professional. I also loved the photojournalism style of pictures which I feel best captures the unexpected moments during a wedding. On the actual day of, she was wonderful. Pamela has a great calmness about her which made it very easy to work with her. And when it was all said and done, the pictures that we received were absolutely beautiful. I was literally in awe when I saw them. She captured the scenery perfectly and she got pictures of many many hilarious candid moments throughout the night. She is a definitely a bit more on the expensive side but I highly highly recommend her.

Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions that we would make thru the planning process and we, like others, just wanted to make sure that our memories would be captured that day as we remembered them. Once we saw her work, going with Pamela was a no brian-er until the “B word” snuck up on us – BUDGET. What an awful word when you are trying to plan the wedding of your dreams! We had done our fair share of research knowing exactly what our budget would allow for in a photographer and unfortunately, Pamela’s package price was about $500 more than the other photographer we were considering. $500 haunted us for days as we deliberated over whether we could stretch our budget for these amazing photos. $500: a little more than another cocktail dress, another layer on the cake, a slightly larger table arrangement, peonies instead of tulips, square invites instead of rectangle, and the list just kept going on and on and on. All of these things were very important but in the end we realized that food, flowers, and clothes will come and go but you and generations of your family will reminisce over your wedding photography for years to come. Spending the extra money on our wedding photographer was a decision we will NEVER regret.


As each day passes since our wedding, we couldn’t be happier that Pamela was our choice in photographer. She didn’t miss a single beat. On a day where there are so many emotions racing, Pamela’s calm demeanor was exactly what I, my husband, and our families needed. Not only did she shoot the obvious details, she captured the sheer essence and abstract emotions from our special day. I remember exactly how I felt, at each moment, when I look back on our photos. There are no words that can truly express how thankful I am that Pamela and her incredible talent were a part of our wedding day.

Pamela is excellent! We love our pictures, she is so easy to work with, and she was not intrusive at all during the day! She listened to us and she also had great ideas! I highly recommend her and can not say enough good things!

Weddngs by Pamela was by far the best vendor we had selected for our wedding. Pamela and her assistant we so easy to work with and extra patient! Pamela definitely played a part in making our wedding run smoothly and special.

Her photography was amazing, truly the best photographs I have ever seen! The photographs captured every aspect of the wedding. I would highly highly recommend Weddings by Pamela!

The service of Pamela was by far exceptional and efficiently performed. I highly recommend Pamela Photography for weddings, but other important events as well! Our own wedding photographs are perfect, and we will cherish them forever.

Weddings by Pamela was the best photographer we could have picked for our wedding day. We also got engagement photos done with her as well. She was extremely down to earth and so calming on the day of the wedding. I know my husband and I were both quite nervous and having her around made taking pictures feel so effortless. I can not wait for another large event to happen in our family so that we can use her services again. She was absolutely outstanding. Her responsiveness before we booked her were as speedy and continued that way all the way through the wedding and even afterwards.

Pam was absolutely fantastic and a delight to work with... probably the best hire we made of all our contractors. Easy to get a hold of and responsive, she did exactly what we wanted... lots of candids, yet we barely even knew she was there. The posed pictures came out very well too... and she breezed through all the possible combinations of family members (no easy task) in no time.

Let's face it, nothing about weddings in No VA is cheap, but Pam was worth every penny. The fact that she provided all of the original images on a DVD on our first anniversary was a unique bonus.

Spend a little less on the flowers or (especially) the cake... but don't cut corners on pictures. After the day is over they are all you'll have...

Pamela was a wonderful wedding photographer. Not only did she provide us with a beautiful keepsake of our wedding, but she also helped us throughout the day - when getting ready and throughout the actual ceremony and reception. The quality of her photos was excellent and she captured almost every moment of the evening.

Leading up to the event, she was very responsive and sensitive to our requests. Pamela also has a large variety of albums, with different styles and price points. The albums she offered were different from many of the places we looked (especially the art boxes and folios) and created the opportunity for us to give wonderful thank you gifts to our family.

I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality photographer in the DC metro area.

We loved Pamela! She is an amazing photographer. We could not have asked for better pictures to remember our wedding day! Our Engagement Pics were also amazing. Pamela was great to work with and super professional. Considering our rowdy crowd she somehow managed to get everyone in the places they needed to be without every having to be pushy!

Pamela was wonderful to work with, easy going, creative ideas...made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. We had so much fun having her take our engagement photos and absolutely loved the results. It was such a special time for me and my husband and we are overjoyed at the memories Pamela captured for us to have and to cherish always. A true talent.

Pamela has a great eye and captured some of the most unique moments of our wedding day in a creative way. Both the color and black and white shots were amazing. Our albums were also really beautiful...probably the nicest wedding albums I've seen. We also loved working with Pamela who has a very relaxing attitude and personality. Despite a few stressful situations on our wedding day, Pamela keep everyone calm and even sewed my dress when it ripped during dancing. We highly recommend her!

Pamela Lepold provided excellent photography services for our most special day. Her photos were so beautiful. She was very professional and hard working. She is very knowledgeable about how best to execute her craft and about good venues for photos in this area. I would definitely use her services again. The photos were not cheap, but they were well worth the price. I do not live that close to her office, but it was not hard to get to, and she was very accomodating about scheduling appointments. Please work with her. She is great.

I cannot sing enough praises!! Pamela was totally focused on doing exactly what we wanted and tailored everything to our needs. She had hundreds of options for us to choose from when putting together our albums and parent gifts (which turned out beautifully) and her presentation was exquisit. She also went above and beyond her job description, such as helping the groomsmen pin on their boutineers. Pamela was everything we were looking for and we will treasure her pictures forever, I don't have a single complaint :)

Once we spoke to Pamela in person and saw her work we knew we would book her immediately. Her pictures are amazing, unique poses and angles, that make them extra special. The way she captured the night makes us smile every time we look at them. She was very professional throughout the entire process. She was also very good at gathering the proper people for certain photos, and that can be difficult at a wedding. I recommend her to all newly engaged couples. You will forever have amazing pictures to remember an amazing day!

Pamela was a professional and an amazing person to work with. She captured every moment of our day and has blessed us with photos that we still laugh and cry over till this day. She is the one of the most professional and caring individuals and her style of photography is a true gift that was beyond more than I could have ever dreamed. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I have, for her exceptional gift and love of photography.

Pamela is an absolutely wonderful photographer. Not only is she extremely talented with an amazing eye, she is pleasant, unassuming, and a complete joy to work with. (Even my usually stoic father commented on how great she was during the wedding.) She captures the big moments (the vows, the first dance, cutting the cake, etc.) But what really makes her special is the way she captures the unanticipated, intimate moments. She leaves you with a beautiful, personal record of your wedding day.

We were so impressed with Pamela that we recently asked her to take photos of our 4-month old daughter---and I am so glad we did. Pamela came to our house and did a 2-hour session with the baby. The photos are absolutely amazing, and I will treasure them forever.

I recommend Weddings by Pamela to every other bride I know. First the quality of her pictures are beautiful, she takes so many, and gives you all of the proofs. Second, she is very talented and comes up with so many creative shots that will help you remember your wedding day. Third, somehow my husband I looked better in the pictures than I think we actually did in person. Fourth, Pamela is a FANTASTIC human being, is extremely detailed oriented, and will spend hours pooring over the photos to edit and find the best ones. She is great to work with and will try to accomodate all of your requests. Any amount of money you spend to use her service is worth it, you will NOT regret it. I look forward to getting some of my favorite shots enlarged and framed for our house. She creates personal art that lasts a lifetime.

I cannot say enough about Pamela Leplod, my wedding photographer. She is simply THE Best. I had such great feeling about her when I met her that we set our wedding date based on her availability and she did not disappoint.

She us quiet and unobtrusive and has a great eye for detail. She has the unique talent of making everyone feel comfortable. She even stayed much later than our agreed time so she can capture the final moments of the day.

I had a full day wedding portrait session with Pamela. We went to several locations and took so many pictures that it was hard to choose my favorite! It was a wonderful day and her pictures reflect the beauty of me and my dress.

Pamela captured my wedding with a photo-journalistic style, capturing behind the scene moments that would have easily been forgotten and now are treasured memories. She was above and beyond wonderful and I love her photos.

Since then, Pamela has come to my house for a baby portrait session. She works so well with babies and took some gorgeous pictures that I cherish.

I highly recommend her to everyone.

Pamela Lepold has been a wedding photographer for over a decade, including for many vineyard weddings. Her photography is beautiful and she's very pleasant to work with. We are pleased to have Pamela on our Cana Vineyards' recommended vendor list.

What can I say about Pamela....? The only word that comes to mind is WOW, Pamela is amazing. From start to finish Pamela makes everything so easy and stress free. Pamela shot my wedding in February 2012 and captured ever moment. Her method is non-invasive and you hardly know she is there, but somehow she gets all the right shot and MORE. My wedding pictures were just BEAUTIFUL. There is no one I recommend more than Pamela Lepold. We loved her so much that she is now going to shoot my sister’s wedding in September.

Thank You Pamela for making my day so amazing....

I love referring brides to Pamela because I know they will be thrilled once they see their wedding images. Pamela not only shoots the "must take" pictures but she also captures all the details that the bride has worked so hard to create. All the intimate moments during the ceremony, special touches at the reception, and the fun filled day will be remembered for a lifetime.

Pamela is one of the most amazingly talented photographers around. She has an incredible eye for detail. Every time I work with her, I am always blown away when I see the pictures from that event. She manages to capture EVERYTHING! I cannot say enough good things about Pamela and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a superb photographer for their wedding.
