Black Pepper Photography

Photo & Video · Richmond, VA

Black Pepper Photography is a woman-led, BIPOC-owned team of photographers and filmmakers who've documented 110+ weddings across Northern Virginia, DC, and Richmond. We're a full-service team, not a solo photographer, so you get creative direction, real experience, and the intuition to anticipate emotion before it happens. Every image is hand-edited with intention to protect the richness of your skin, your colors, and your environment; no washed-out highlights, no one-size-fits-all presets. We're candid, documentary, and story-focused first, because the goal has always been to capture your day as it actually happened, not as a performance for the camera.

Meet Chayil

Chayil (Kyle)

Owner + Senior Photographer

Hi, I'm Chayil, the owner and lead photographer behind Black Pepper Photography! I'm the storyteller turning your real moments into art, the hype woman keeping your day joyful and easy, and the creative brain behind every gallery and film we deliver. I care about connection over posed perfection, and I love getting to know each couple before I ever pick up a camera. When I'm not shooting weddings, you'll usually find me at a coffee shop, trying a new restaurant, or deep into a true crime documentary. I'm a total romantic who genuinely loves people, and that shows up in the way I shoot: present, warm, and paying attention to the moments everyone else misses.
