I’m Victoria Hileman, an editorial wedding and engagement photographer based in Annapolis, Maryland, serving Washington DC, New York City, and destinations worldwide.
My work is rooted in a love for fashion, design, and honest storytelling. I’m drawn to clean lines, thoughtful details, and images that feel polished without losing their warmth. The goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel elevated and modern, while still reflecting the real energy and emotion of the day.
I believe the best images come from trust. When couples feel comfortable, seen, and supported, everything else falls into place. That’s why I take a calm, guided approach — offering clear direction when it adds confidence, and stepping back when moments unfold naturally. Nothing is rushed, overly staged, or forced. Instead, the focus is on how the day actually feels.
My heart is full because I get to give the gift of memories that will last generations.

Couples often come to me because they care deeply about style, but don’t want their wedding to feel like a production. They want photographs that look editorial and refined, yet still feel personal and true. Whether it’s an intimate waterfront wedding in Annapolis, a city celebration in Washington DC or New York City, or a destination event, each story is approached with the same level of care and attention.
Beyond the imagery, the experience matters. From our first conversation through gallery delivery, I prioritize thoughtful communication, preparation, and a steady presence on the wedding day. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple receives my full attention.
The result is a cohesive collection of images — fashion-forward, emotionally grounded, and designed to feel just as meaningful years from now as they do today.
If you’re planning a wedding or engagement and value both style and substance, I’d love to hear what you’re creating.
I am a perfectionist with a keen eye for unmatched, here to tell your story with wonder and grace.
HEART
I’ve always believed that photography should feel like art — honest, elegant, and full of life. My work sits at the intersection of editorial polish and real, human connection. It’s the quiet in-between moments just as much as the sweeping, cinematic ones.

We’d be a good fit if you care about how your wedding feels just as much as how it looks. You value style and intention — the details, the atmosphere, the way everything comes together — but you don’t want the day to feel staged or overproduced. You’re drawn to images that feel editorial and refined, yet still honest and emotional. You appreciate guidance and trust the process. You want a photographer who brings a calm, confident presence, offers clear direction when needed, and knows when to step back so moments can unfold naturally. You believe your photos should feel current and elevated now, and still meaningful years from today. You’re not chasing trends — you’re creating something personal, thoughtful, and true that will stand the test of time.
If that sounds like you, we’ll work beautifully together.

IVY, BRIDE FROM NEW YORK
"VICTORIA'S CALM MIND AND FINE EYE TRANSFORMED OUR DESTINATION WEDDING INTO AN OTHERWORLDY EXPERIENCE."
The whole process from first consultation to the final delivery of our photos was seamless. Victoria is both extremely personable and professional with vast knowledge about editorial wedding photography, and it shows.
She really took the time to learn what was most important to us and what we were looking for, and captured our best moments just as we remembered them.
"felt surrounded the allure
of grace every single second."
She made my husband and I feel & look like supermodels in every photo. Victoria and Kevin are absolutely incredible and so, so talented!! They were so patient with us throughout the day and offered so many amazing creative direction and ideas. Our photo album felt like flipping through a magazine, and also our wedding album simultaneously.
"VICTORIA WILL BE OUR LIFELONG PHOTOGRAPHER."
MADELEINE & Ben
If I had written this review having only recieved our preview photos from Victoria, I still would have given her 5 stars. Victoria was absolutely brilliant from start to finish - we really could not have had a better presence on our wedding day. The booking process was super smooth and easy, and she was always on hand to answer any queries, and was always prepared with lots of general wedding advice! Even if you're not keen on having your photo taken (like us!) you instantly feel at ease with Victoria. We just had our full gallery back, and we are IN LOVE with the photos.
"YOU INSTANTLY FEEL AT EASE WITH VICTORIA"
OSCAR & ODETTE
"I cannot say enough about how amazing Victoria is! She has this incredible ability to capture the essence of our love in every shot. My boyfriend and I felt so comfortable during the entire session, and it really shows in the photos. If you're looking for someone to beautifully document your special moments, look no further!"

Bre & Adam
When I was searching for an Annapolis wedding photographer, there were tons of options but no one's style is like Victoria's. She has an incredible eye for composition, architecture, romance, and truth. Our elopement photos felt like they belonged in a magazine, and words cannot properly express how grateful we are that she chose us to be one of her 2025 couples.
