Compass Studios

Compass Studios Compass Studios is a photography and videography company specializing in weddings, families, corporate / commerical, real estate, and much more. You!

HELLO and thanks for stopping by! We are a husband and wife photography and videography company in the Northern Virginia / DC area. We specialize in weddings, portraits, real estate, and more. Whether you want your love story captured artistically, the perfect family portrait to frame, or to sell your home above asking price, we are your dream team! We truly believe our chemistry when working toge

ther reflects in the work we produce. So what's our favorite part about this job? Besides being able to wear pajamas while working from home? Meeting new clients every week is what we live for. Once Ryan tells a cheesy joke during a shoot, we see shoulders start to relax, genuine smiles form, and an effortless bond created. So now to the fun stuff! When we are not working, we LOVE to explore the outdoors whether it's backpacking, running, biking, or photographing wildlife/nature. National-Park-chasing has been a huge thrill, and privilege, for us. In 2016 we lived in the wild for 21 days and hiked the famous 220-mile John Muir Trail in California. Check out our two latest travel videos:

Tetons/Yellowstone/Glacier (2020): https://vimeo.com/448398183

You can also check out Ryan’s incredible wildlife photography journey here: https://www.ryancoreywildlife.com

Don't get us wrong though. When we are not doing outdoorsy things we are snuggling with our two fat cats and shepherd-husky on the couch, binge watching Netflix and pretty much eating constantly. Please enjoy having a look around and do not hesitate to shoot us an email. Can't wait to meet you!

How lucky is this couple that their wedding happened to line up with peak cherry blossoms blooming in DC and at Meadowlark Gardens!! They are so deserving. Friday March 27th was our longest wedding gig yet..but never a dull moment from morning to midnight. Jacob (groom) even celebrated his 30th birthday after the wedding reception! It was such a fun day with an awesome group of people. From Jacob’s cute cat in his apartment, to Katie and Jacob’s heartfelt hand-written vows during the ceremony, to cherry blossom petals flying in the wind, to an enormous cookie exchange table, and many happy tears..we were lucky to be a part of this day.

Last month we did photo / video for my cousin’s wedding in North Carolina at one of the most beautiful venues we’ve ever seen! 70°, peak foliage, a light breeze, a sunset ceremony, a model couple, and the best group of people to party with (half of it my family). What more could you ask for?

If you were to tell us 10 years ago that we would sell out of mini sessions every year, we wouldn't believe you! They are such a wonderful way to connect with new and old friends/clients, all while offering an affordable and quick option to get professional photos taken.

🕸Olivia & Alex's tasteful, elegant Halloween wedding🕸
Our windiest wedding in our 10 years of doing this, but that made for some dramatic veil shots!
This day was so much fun - and you can tell from looking at the dancing shots that the crowd was a blast to photograph.
