Wedding Photography for the Wildly in Love
Documenting Real, Raw, and Intimate Emotions – Based in Virginia, Serving Worldwide
Romantic, Real & Timeless Photography for Couples Worldwide.
Welcome to Brittany Sanders Photography—a photojournalistic and documentary-style wedding and elopement photographer based in Virginia Beach, VA, and serving all of Virginia, the East & West Coast of the United States, and beyond to wherever your love may take me.
For years, I've had the honor of documenting love stories, milestone moments, and unforgettable memories for kind-hearted couples. From sunset beach engagements in Virginia Beach, to elegant garden weddings in New York, to small intimate elopements around the world, this brand has stood for real emotion, raw connection, and timeless images that you can feel forever.
At Brittany Sanders Photography, my approach has always been simple: capture what’s real. I specialize in a blend of candid photojournalism and fine art photography, with a bit of editorial. I don’t direct your wedding. I witness it — with intention, artistry, and heart. My style is photojournalistic and emotion-driven. That means I focus on the real stuff: the way your fingers interlock when you think no one’s looking, the spontaneous laugh during your vows, the soft tears from a parent seeing you all grown up. My images are romantic, emotional, and infused with warm light—meant to feel as beautiful in 50 years as they do today.

My Approach
Not Just Photos — Honest Memories That Feel Like You
Every wedding I document is different because every couple is different. Your love story deserves more than copy-paste poses. My work is rooted in connection, trust, and presence — so I can document your day in a way that feels like a memory, not a production.
I focus on candid, intimate moments:
• The soft smiles between vows
• The tears your dad tried to hide
• The late-night dance floor chaos
• The quiet just after "I do"

Meet Your Photographer
Hi, I’m Brittany!
I’m a wedding and destination photographer with a passion for capturing authentic, raw, and emotional moments. Since starting Brittany Sanders Photography in 2022, I’ve specialized in blending the nostalgic beauty of film with the crisp precision of digital photography to create timeless keepsakes for couples like you.
My approach is rooted in storytelling. I aim to document your day as it unfolds naturally—those quiet glances, belly laughs, and heartfelt tears that truly make your wedding day yours. Whether it’s a Polaroid that captures the charm of a single instant, a film photograph that feels like stepping into a memory, or a super 8 video that feels like it’s straight out of your favorite movie, my work is designed to preserve your love story in a way that feels both modern and timeless.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me dreaming about my next adventure, exploring hidden gems around the world, or soaking up inspiration from nature. Destination weddings and elopements hold a special place in my heart, and I love working with couples who are just as excited about the journey as the destination.
Let’s create something unforgettable together—your love story deserves to be told in the most beautiful way possible.
