Hi, I’m Jonlaya — Your Storyteller, Memory Keeper, and Quiet Observer
 


I believe the real magic of a wedding day lives in the in-between moments: the quiet glances, the bursts of laughter, the soft squeeze of a hand, the messy cake crumbs on the table.
I’m here to help you remember it all.
Since 2017, I’ve been capturing weddings across Northern Virginia with an honest, documentary approach—nothing too posed, nothing too perfect. Just you, your people, and the love you share. My goal? To create images that feel like you, so when you look back years from now, you don’t just see what happened… you feel it.
