photographs for thegolden hours, first looks, little hands, last dances, in-between moments

we're marina & zach

A husband-and-wife wedding photography team in Hampton Roads, Virginia, since 2015.

Lumina Studios is the two of us: married, raising two little ones, and still a little giddy every time a frame comes out of the camera just right.

We photograph the way we'd want to be photographed. Unhurried, honest, and focused on the people more than the poses, so the photos feel like your day and not a photo shoot.

More about us

your day, told honestly

Structure when you need it, and space for the moments nobody planned. We help shape a timeline that gives you golden-hour portraits without missing your own cocktail hour, then step back and let the day be yours.

What you get back is the whole story: the details you chose, the people who showed up, and how it actually felt.
