Awarded Best of Zola
We had an excellent experience working with Timeless Photo Video. They have a very easy-to-follow process and made planning much less stressful. We actually were not satisfied with the first photographer they paired us with, and their coordinator was super responsive and helpful in getting us paired with someone else. Their editing style is beautiful and fresh - not over the top (which we did not want), and their turnaround time on our photos and video was second-to-none after our day. We perceived great value in working with them and would 10/10 recommend!

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
Josh was hired as a photographer for a wedding that I planned (see photo below). He was very professional, kind, pleasant, personable and very easy to work with - leading up to the special day of the wedding. He was very communicative with me, understood the wedding timeline, and was very flexible (which, from a planner's point of view, is very important, as not all vendors do that)! He's one of my favorite vendors I have ever worked with and I highly recommend! - Trang, Wedding Planner at Weddings By Trang

Ellicott City, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was recommended to me by two of my friends who also used him for their weddings. He was by far the easiest, most cheerful, professional, and knowledgeable vender we worked with at our wedding. Justin was so easy to get ahold of at anytime about any question. Included in his fee is a site visit to scope out pictures/angles which I found incredibly helpful. I felt really comfortable asking him questions and troubleshooting possible weather issues/locations etc. Justin went with us to multiple locations on the same day at no extra charge which I thought was very generous. His prices are fair and he is very generous with what you get. Also, his attitude/vibe is so upbeat and positive he was a pleasure to work with. And of course, the photos he took were absolutely incredible! He was able to capture very intimate moments without being intrusive and I feel like he documented our wedding day so accurately, beautifully, and perfectly. I don't know how he is able to be everywhere at once! The variety of joy and emotion he captured from our friends, family, and us was out of this world. I am so so happy with my photos and I cannot recommend Justin enough for your wedding. My family was also incredibly impressed with his attitude and skill and kept asking me where I found him, commenting that I hit the jackpot! 11/10.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Hiring Nina was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Nina was more than just an incredible photographer who captured unique and meaningful moments, but she went above and beyond in helping keep us organized during our special day. Her kindness and caring demeanor helped us remain calm during the wedding. She guided us through our wedding day order of events while managing a multitude of people and moving parts. She beautifully captured so many special moments. Her photos are stunning and we will cherish them for a lifetime. One of our guests summed it up perfectly, "your photographer is a MASTER, and I hope she has clients 365 days a year because she should....she's just that good." We are truly grateful for Nina, her photographic talent, and expertise. Hire her!

*Now booking for 2024!* Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Laura as our photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! She is the kindest, most creative, understanding, detail-oriented, and dedicated human, and her professionalism is beyond compare. She made our day seamless, and we had a ROLLERCOASTER with a downpour of rain, a fallen power line and an emergency back up location switch that involved walking through a woodland path in Maine in the mud. She never wavered, and made everything seem like it was her plan in the first place! She even took extra time to look at our venue in advance of the day which was above and beyond what was expected of her. If you are thinking of hiring her, GET IN WHILE YOU CAN!!!!

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously. I will be there to support you through the entire wedding process and then fist pump along side you on the dance floor. My main goal is to provide you with an incredible experience. A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

Jessi is absolutely hands down the photographer you want. I was MOH in a wedding she photographed and it was wonderful. Obviously her photos are amazing and they speak for themselves. The part you don’t see is her great personality and wonderful energy. Jessi is so fun and relaxed and brings that to your big day. Everyone had so much fun. Better yet is she knows how to read every moment and capture the feel of your big day, all the joy, love and excitement you experience is right there again when it’s photo delivery day. I even booked her for my own wedding the day I got engaged! Seriously stop looking for the best photographer, save some time and book Jessi, because she is the perfect one!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories.

That's what we want for you: A positive, "we totally nailed it," "I've gotta show everyone," photographic experience from start to finish!

Choosing Rachel as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding! We had a two-day wedding, and Rachel photographed both days. The results were incredibly beautiful. She did an incredible job capturing the love and excitement for our wedding weekend. We also loved her attention to detail; looking back at all of our photos, we really feel like we’re transported back to the event because of all of the beautiful photos of the space, decor, and smaller details. For the formal portraits, she and Haley (second photographer) made it fun and made us, our family, and our bridal party feel super comfortable in front of the camera. We were also blown away by the turnaround for our sneak peeks and the full gallery. Leading up to the wedding, Rachel was very responsive to all of our questions and she was super helpful in creating a timeline for the day that made the most sense for us. We would highly recommend working with her for your wedding!

Love Charm Photo is simply amazing. Out of all the vendors we hired for our wedding in June 2023, they were by far the best. Richie and Alie were kind, helpful, and detail-oriented. They worked with us thoroughly up until the event date to make sure they knew everything we wanted ahead of time. On the day of, they were amazing as well! From accommodating to crazy flash thunderstorms and wildfire smoke to keeping us calm when things we planned went wrong, they were the perfect wedding photographers (and more). And of course, the final products were more beautiful than we could have imagined. It goes without saying that the value they offer is priceless. I would recommend them to everyone, time and time again!

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

Jasmine was my photographer for my wedding and I can say with absolute certainty she is the only photographer I will ever use for anything. She was a magical addition to our day. She went above and beyond to make sure we were ready, she was SO KIND, she made it feel like she was my old friend with a camera (even though it was our first time meeting!) And the pictures. OH the pictures. They were BREATH TAKING. She gave us literal magic that day and I will treasure the memories always.

Over a year after our wedding, we still often look at the AMAZING photos Bethany captured for us on our wedding day. Do not hire ANY other photographer in the metro Washington, DC area if you want crystal clear, flattering, well-composed, and gorgeous photos of your wedding. Bethany is a delight to work with. She is calm, patient and considerate. She and her second shooter captured every conceivable aspect of our wedding that made it special to us and our guests. Bethany did it all with a smile. It was a huge relief to find a photographer who exceeded our highest hopes for a partner in preserving images of our day. We could not recommend Bethany more highly—we look forward to calling on her again as soon as we can.

Michelle is the best! We were so thankful to have her as our elopement photographer. She captured incredible moments from our ceremony followed by a photo shoot in the area afterwards. As a pretty camera-shy couple, Michelle immediately made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and had us laughing the whole time! She was so good at giving us direction that it felt natural and easy. It was clear she scoped out the area ahead of time too, with all the fun ideas she had and different spots we walked to. The best was when Michelle managed to find the prettiest street filled with cherry blossoms (at the start of spring)! From the beginning of our contact with her, Michelle was a joy to work with. Super communicative, kind, thoughtful, and professional. Her energy was infectious! We could not be happier with our photos and will be sure to book Michelle again if another occasion arises.

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

When we decided to do a courthouse wedding with little time or planning, I seriously doubted we would find a fabulous photographer. Of the local photographers that we found in a Google search, Darcy was the only one that offered affordable, smaller packages that met our needs, matched our vibe and produced incredible, perfect photos of our day. She was easy to work with, communicative, professional, and brought out the true joy of that moment. She captured posed group shots with our family, and the greatest shots of the day when we had no idea she was even shooting. At one point she told us to just go ...walk..and be yourselves. She delivered a video within days after the wedding followed by the full gallery of shots a few days later. I highly recommend Darcy to capture any event that requires special care and warmth!!

Initially when I got the photos from all my friends, I was asking myself why we hired a professional photographer, but once I saw the pictures Konrad sent over, I did not ask myself that question again. I have never loved myself in so many pictures, he really captured the two of us and the entire day in a way that I couldn’t have imagined.

Verdandi is the culmination of a lifelong obsession with storytelling through beautiful imagery. My photography style is free-spirited yet elegant.

Human beings are never skin deep, and their photos never should be either. I value all the positivity that comes from each person I have met along the way and I cannot wait to meet you either! With years of experience in the wedding industry, you can trust Verdandi to turn your love story into a work of art.

Trina is the kindest person to work with! She takes her time, she makes you feel so comfortable and the whole process was so fun. My engagement shoot and wedding day photos turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Capturing the true love I share with my husband. Real moments in real time.

I'm a lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing your keepsake moments! With work experience in event management, I understand the behind the scenes of weddings & I am fully equipped to deliver you fun AND professional service on your big day. I've captured weddings, engagements (hello crouching behind a tree to capture the proposal moment), and so much more. What I love about weddings is witnessing such happiness and love. I spend my time capturing the glances between couples, Grandma's smile, and your special details. If you want to see where attention to detail, professionalism, lightheartedness & sarcasm meet...let's chat!

To say that Tori is a gifted photographer is the understatement of the year. I usually hate every photo of myself - but at my wedding, Tori took photos that I proudly hang in my house and that make me feel like a model. She not only is gifted at photography, but she knows how to command a crowd or energetic children without dampening the good mood. She will get photos that look magazine-worthy no matter the event. In a world where everyone tries to be an amateur photographer using their phones, trust that a professional like Tori will give you stunning photos that will last for years to come!

My mission is to provide you with an unforgettable experience in front of the camera, as well as photographs that you'll treasure for a lifetime. I hope that the photographs I capture for you serve as a reminder of the love that lives within you and your loved ones.

Mariandree was a real gem to work with! We had originally planned our ceremony and small reception for Dec. 2020, but because of COVID had to make some changes. We kept our outside (super cold) ceremony for that December and Mariandree was more than willing to accommodate, given the circumstances. She was a real trooper out there with us on the freezing Waterfront, and we got some amazing photos back within a week! Mariandree was more than gracious to allow us to reschedule the second half of our photoshoot for September 2021 where we finally got to enjoy a small backyard reception. She brought her sister along as a second photographer for the first round, and her mom for the second. It made it really fun and relaxing because she got along so well with my own mom. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mdree Photography for your wedding! She is organized and makes sure to deliver. She has a really fun, youthful, and thoughtful personality, so expect to really enjoy having her capture your special moments.

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

We were thrilled with the photos Lee took of our wedding and really enjoyed working with him. If you're a bridge/groom to be, do yourself a favor and work with Lee. Often, I'll look at my wedding photos, and it'll brighten my day to see the great photos Lee took. Lee captured our wedding in a photojournalistic style -- catching lots of great candid shots. Of course, he also took portraits and offered helpful suggestions when we weren't sure what we wanted. He's incredibly knowledgable as well as fun and easy to work with. Take one thing off your to-do list and pick Lee as your photographer.

My husband and I hired Annemarie as our wedding photographer and we couldn't have made a better choice! From the very first email, she was responsive, professional, and friendly. We met Annemarie in-person in October for our engagement shoot, and it was clear from the first interactions that we'd found someone great. She made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and the photographs she took were absolutely stunning (and made for beautiful holiday cards). Prior to our wedding, she made time to visit the venue and make sure she understood where photography was permitted. On the day of our wedding, Annemarie arrived early with her assistant. Even though the venue was behind schedule with set-up and I was somewhat stressed, Annemarie was calm and reassuring that everything would go fine. She took stunning photographs of all kinds of details (our invitations, the rings, the flowers etc.) and also managed to get photos of our families (including 2 children and 2 babies). We were absolutely thrilled with Annemarie's artistry and we would hire her again in a heartbeat. :-)

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

Rachel did our engagement AND wedding/elopement photos!! My original engagement photo photographer stood us up as we arrived at the site... Rachel was recommended by a friend of mine, and she showed up ON SITE in about an hour!! She even recommended a yummy spot to get a bite to eat while we waited! ...when our wedding had to be downgraded to an elopement, our choice was EASY!! We love Rachel! She is FANTASTIC! She's extremely personable...and hilarious!! We plan to use her for ANY photo opportunity that we may have in the future.

Photography register moments for generations to come. It documents lives. It brings you back to the past. It reminds you of how you were feeling at the time those images were taken. This is why I love it so much. And the whole reason why I created “Luxy”. My goal is to help our clients feel the same way I do when I look at photographs of my life. The immense joy and pleasure of knowing that I - as everyone else - have a story to tell!

When I was looking for a photographer for my wedding, I didn't know what to expect. I thought I would still have to worry about poses, logistics and everything else on the day of my event. I found Tai 4 months prior to our wedding day and we've had two consultations during this time and she made me feel so secure that I could leave everything photo related in her hands! On the day of, she guided us through the best places and poses, made sure we got photos with everyone and helped us get our big family together for the most beautiful shots. I don't plan on getting married again but we know Tai and her team have become our family photographer now :)

The entire experience, from start to finish, is always enjoyable for me as a collaborating vendor, and for my clients. She juggles all her responsibilities as a business owner, and everything runs like a well-oiled machine. Her demeanor on the job is friendly, professional, and endearing. And, most importantly, her body of work is out of this world. I think that goes without saying, because her portfolio speaks for itself. But I have to say it anyway because it's beyond impressive. Her work has been recognized in international publications as some of the best in the world, and when you see how evocative her images are, it's easy to see how she earned her accolades. Brea is my favorite. Simply put, if she's not available on your date, change your date! You need her.

Krystina is absolutely incredible when it comes to photography and design choices. She brings such unique creativity to her work, which was fantastic for a couple who struggles in that department. She is very responsive, professional, and just so sweet and kind. Both of our families continue to rave about how she handled everything, kept us in schedule and made it look easy. She also managed to help keep my emotions and stress level at bay despite my anxiety on my wedding day.

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

Booking Rachel Stenger was one of the best vendor decisions that my husband and I made for our wedding day. Even from the first meeting we had with Rachel, she has such a calming and warm presence which we knew was what we would need the day of. She has such a unique way of photographing and capturing moments that make her so special and unlike a lot of other wedding photographers we met with. We did an engagement session with her and she made us feel so at ease, like most couples we're not naturally in front of the camera but she was able to easily talk us through poses throughout the session. We had a call the month of to discuss details with her - e.i, timeline, shot list, etc. This was a great call because it helped all of us get on the same page for day of. Forwarding to the wedding day - Rachel arrived early to start on capturing details. She helped us stay on-time during getting ready and first look since my DoC was at the venue setting up. She was able to capture SO many images throughout the day from getting ready all the way to the dance floor. Aside from the staged/traditional photos you'd expect from the wedding, she captured so many beautiful candid moments. She moved in SILENCE, I truly didn't see her for most of the day (in a good way!) yet we ended up with 750 images in the 7 hrs we hired her for. She captured everything and more. When we finally got the full album - my husband and I spent had an amazing 2 hours reliving every single moment! She blew us away and we were not prepared by how beautifully she captured the day - all of the details, the emotions, and the aesthetics, were EVERYTHING! Her talent is remarkable and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I'd recommend her to anyone - in fact, I already have a friend that's hired her for their day.

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Working with Cassidy was a fantastic experience. He listened to what we wanted, gave us ideas from his experience working at our venue and made us feel completely comfortable. Everyone told us when selecting a photographer to make sure you are comfortable with them since they are involved in some of the most intimate moments of your day - and while that was true - he managed to get so many great shots without intruding or in some cases even being noticed. He caught serious moments, funny private moments and of course all of the formal moments. We have recommended him to multiple friends of ours and will continue to do that moving forward. You cannot go wrong working with Cassidy!

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

Having a good photographer was one of my priorities for my wedding. I knew the day was going to be a whirlwind and I wanted to be able to look back and at least have one photo where my eyes weren’t closed or something. Lauren absolutely delivered — I don’t think we’ve ever looked as good in pictures and I know I probably won’t again!! Lauren also recommended Elizabeth for our day-of coordinator and I don’t know what we would have done without her — I definitely would have lost my mind, of that I’m sure. First, I can’t overstate the importance of finding a photographer with whom you have a good rapport — Lauren has this charisma where you instantly feel at ease and like you’ve known her your whole life. It frankly made me less nervous and I think that translates really well in the photos. She’s also a master of making you look the best in posed photos - giving little positioning directions that you look elegant without looking stiff. Every time I look at the pictures I’ll notice another candid moment that Lauren managed to capture or simply marvel at how she somehow can translate emotion in a still picture — I find myself smiling and definitely not crying (jk definitely crying) because you can FEEL what we were feeling in these photos. Second, get you a planner who is superhuman. Elizabeth took over six weeks (!) before the wedding and it was like a literal weight was lifted from my shoulders. At our first meeting she went through her checklist (and mine bc of course I had my own) and said “I’ll take care of it” to literally everything... and then...did?? I was fully prepared to have to follow up with vendors and micromanage but I basically didn’t have to do anything. It was magical. Elizabeth and her team did so much work and went above and beyond in literally every way to ensure we had a perfect day. Anyway, if you’re struggling with choosing a photographer because there are 72525 million to choose from, and you like the style of Lauren’s photos, go for it ASAP. Lauren is incredible and I feel so lucky that we were able to work with her. And if you need a day-of coordinator (or a full blown wedding planner!) pick Elizabeth - she has the eye for design and the capability to pull it off and pull it off well!

With every shot I take I’m constantly thinking of new ways to creatively tell your story using unconventional techniques and unique angles, while creating that captivating feeling of presence when viewing your photos. My goal is to preserve your special moments by creating romantic, yet visually striking imagery to be enjoyed for years to come.

As a portrait photographer I had been following Kanayo’s work because it’s artistic, unique and different. I teased that I would get married again just to have him photograph it. Well he said do a vow renewal and sure enough that’s what we did. There was no question or shopping around for us, Kanayo would be our photographer. We made the right decision! His images are just amazing, and eveytime we look at them it’s like we are living in that exact space and time. He captured so much that tells our story, expressing the emotions, the joy and the love on that day. He goes above and beyond to get the shot, yet he is not intrusive. He is kind and very patient yet in control. He is a master photographer! I highly recommend Kanayo for your photographs. We were not disappointed and you won’t be either.

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

I've worked with this photographer a few times and each time it has been like a fairy-tale shoot. An ordinary couple, set in a scene to make heads turn as they walk by. It's truly a magical experience. And then getting the pictures back is a whole set of feelings. My shoots have been with my boyfriend and with each picture I recieved back, you could truly see the love and energy captured in time. Forever cherished memories.

Lotus Photography

Centreville, VA
  • Photojournalistic style

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse.

I highly, highly recommend Georgette with Lotus Photography. She is the sweetest, most joyful, gifted photographer and as an event planner and day-of wedding coordinator I genuinely love working with her. She is sweet, bubbly, kind, and incredibly talented. 11/10 recommend!!

As your wedding photographer, I take on more of a documentary approach and prefer to shoot with little interruption throughout your big day. Sure there will be times where posing is necessary, but for the most part, I know just how much planning and work and detail has gone into this celebration of the start of your marriage. I will be there for you to document the connection with you and your person with your genuine, honest emotions as the focus.

Willow Roots is the only photographer we will use. Their ability to capture our life events exactly as we would want is absolutely amazing.

Christine is amazing! I was looking for a photographer for my wedding who’s work had more contrast than a lot of the light and airy photos I’ve seen lately and Christine definitely delivered! She’s super sweet and easy to work with (even doing our engagement pictures when she was super pregnant)! She did such a great job of scouting locations to take photos for our downtown San Diego wedding and we love that we have pictures in different spots around our venue. She also spent time talking through different dynamics with families for wedding pictures so we could get all the combos we needed without awkwardness of certain family members not getting along. I cannot recommend working with Christine enough! Hire her- you won’t regret it!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm glad you're here. ​ I married my best friend and I am a girl mom to the two most inspirational girls in the world. Coffee is my fuel and when I’m not taking pictures, you can find me in my garden. Photography is my passion and art is my refuge - the combination of the two is where I find myself most at peace. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Havre de Grace, Maryland. I'm grateful that capturing beautiful and once-in-a-lifetime memories is how I get to spend many of my days.

There aren’t enough positive things my husband and I could say about Gabbi. We reached out to Gabbi less than 3 weeks before our wedding in Dec 2023 because our previous photographer fell through. Stressed and frantic, we found Gabbi and reached out hoping she would be available for us because we loved her style. From the start, we connected and she saw our vision. She kept open communication up until wedding day (and beyond). and honored every single shot request we had! She was so easy going, made the day stress free, and our families constantly complimented how amazing and sweet she was. We got over 60 sneak peaks THE NEXT MORNING and our jaws dropped at how beautiful, emotional, and crisp they came out. Needless to say we were extremely excited for the rest of the photos to come back and they did not disappoint. They came back on time, even with a last minute editing request I asked for. Shots I don’t even remember taking were captured so effortlessly. We cant wait to work with Gabbi again soon!!
