The Pros does it slightly differently. They are in over 60 cities and they hook you up with a photographer for your day. We got matched with Hugh and we could not be happier. He did our engagement shoot as well so we got to know him before the wedding. The turnaround time for photos was crazy! We got our wedding photos back within 10 days and there is over 1k to choose from and they are all stunning. He got some really great shots of family members and ones I will cherish forever. If you’re looking for a great value in photos, you won’t be disappointed in booking with The Pros.

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 is hands down the BEST wedding photographer in the DMV area. He was absolutely all that we had hoped for from our engagement photos to our BEST day ever! We are truly honored to have him. He did a phenomenal job and blew away our expectations. Justin was extremely easy to communicate with, super personable, hard working and very talented. He goes above and beyond, even working on his birthday to capture our engagement photos to his natural ability to calm wedding nerves. Justin made everything easy and we felt like he was not one of the vendors but one of our friends (even our guests were singing his praises). We received our previews in less than 36 hours and the final photos within 2 weeks after our wedding. Our wedding pictures captured an excellent combination of emotional, intimate, candid, and lively moments! Justin’s talents to capture the emotions through each photo is a testimony itself. We are truly honored and forever grateful for his giftedness from behind the lens!

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.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, Sam provided a wonderful experience as our wedding photographer. He is very approachable, making us feel comfortable right away and like he really knew us as a couple. Communication leading up to our wedding was perfect, not too much, not too little.. it was just right. Then they day of, he was timely, quick, and just blended in with the entire event wonderfully. I received so many comments from my bridal party and guests on “what a fun guy he is!” And then the final product that was delivered was ahmazing! I still love looking at our photos that documented our special day.

I'm Aimee Nguyễn. I’m a sarcastic 28 year old who loves to travel, cook, and snuggle with her cat. I have been photographing all kinds of love since 2017. My main goal on your wedding day is to capture your love and day authentic to you while making you feel comfy and stress-free. I take a lot of my inspiration from dope cinematography and my couples. I want to create visual poetry that speaks to your heart and soul, celebrating all the joy and happiness that surrounds you on your wedding day. My albums are meant to speak to your heart, not just the highlights.

Aimee will not only provide you with high quality photography, but will help make your day fun, fabulous and memorable. We had to change our wedding photographer at the last minute, and Aimee turned out to be the blessing around the corner. She is so comfortable to be around, helps you to be your authentic self in front of the camera and will also cut it up on the dance floor with you! After our wedding, we asked her to do our maternity photoshoot and our baby girl’s first birthday photos. We have all them on display in our home and will be asking her take photos of our lives for as long as she wants to be behind a camera. I can’t rate higher than 5 stars, but I would if I could. Please believe me when I say booking Aimee as your photographer will be the easiest part of your wedding planning, and all future photoshoots for life.

When I’m not photographing weddings, I am a rock climber, scuba diver, glass blower (#breablowsglass on instagram), ukulele, guitar, and guitarlele player, world traveler, and cat mom to Sherlock (sherlocknessmonster on instagram). During the winter, I teach a video class at the Sheffield Institute of the Recording Arts and I love having a positive impact on my students. Everything I love to do challenges me personally and makes me a stronger person. I feel the most alive when I feel connected to this beautiful planet and the people on it.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a 14-year veteran of the wedding and event industry, I've had the privilege of working with some of the best photographers in the area. Brea is THE best! 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.

Your day, your memories, your captivating legacy, captured for years to come. I help regular brides create iconic moments so they can celebrate their love for years to come. It’s your day and your memories. Let’s celebrate with captivating photography.

I’ll preface by saying i had been married previously and photographer for my first wedding was “okay.” Krystina is the complete opposite! We hired her for both our engagement and wedding day photos. 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. Not only are our photos absolutely stunning but her creative works like photo albums, prints and other little gift ideas are just simply incredible. We have absolutely no regrets hiring Kristina and 100% recommend her services.

She gave plenty of direction and made us at both feel at ease. She was very professional and punctual but also warm and talkative which I think is the perfect combination for someone capturing special moments in your life. These are pictures we are going to treasure for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the introductory phone call to the delivery of our prints, a canvas, and a beautifully personalized thumb drive with all of our wedding photos, Kimberly absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. Our engagement shoot (which we were both incredibly nervous for) was a blast. Kimberly put us right at ease and her eye for finding a variety of backdrops was impressive! She was an integral part of the planning process, helping organize a timeline as well as a list of group shots. Kimberly was quick to respond to communications and helped talk us through planning for rain when our weather forecast was less than optimal. If you are considering including your dog in your day - Kimberly is the photographer for you. One of our favorite parts about working with Kimberly was the next day sneak peek- we got to relive our day right away!

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

Awarded Best of Zola
My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.

Everything was so natural, and they captured the greatest photos of our family and friends throughout the day. He helped us think through our wedding day timeline to make sure we had enough time for all the photos we wanted, and delivered the photos so quickly after the wedding. We would absolutely recommend him to our friends and family!!

I am a Baltimore based wedding and engagement photographer, known for my vibrant wedding photos with an authentic, candid style. I work with couples who are laid back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying time with family and friends, not spending half the day posing for stiff, awkward photos.

As a videographer, I have worked with Morgan many times, and each time I find out she is the photographer for the day, I breathe a sigh of relief. Her work is excellent, and she does such a great job directing her couples to give them the best photographs. She communicates well and takes the time to make sure couples get everything they need. She is not only professional when it comes to her clients; she works seamlessly alongside all the vendors at the event. You will not go wrong with hiring her. She's amazing!

Your wedding day is that rare occasion where all your friends and family gather together and your ceremony is the reason for it all. After all the food is eaten, the cake is cut, the toasts are cried & laughed over and the flawless dance moves are danced, all you have left are your photos. Your wedding experience is so much more than just booking and filling out paperwork, it's preserving your memories to be relived through photographs, it's help with planning to ensure your wedding vision is brought to life, it's your vendors working as a team to give you the day you have dreamed of, its capturing the details you put thought and love into.

We had a fantastic experience with Alicia, who was recommended to us by our day-of coordinator. As a photographer myself, I knew what to look for in a photographer. She was so much fun, approachable, easy to work with, offered so much guidance as far as wardrobe and posing for our engagement shoot (included in our package) and made us feel so at ease at our wedding. We can see ourselves booking her again for future portrait sessions!

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800

I drink an absurd amount of tea and I make videos occasionally. I adore art museums and dabble on the ukulele. My entire life, I’ve loved sharing my perspective; illustrating life as I saw it and taking photos of things I thought may be overlooked. And I even wrote a journal entry at the age of 7 stating I would someday be an artist. In a black and white composition notebook, I poorly scribbled the words: “I don’t want to be famous, but I want people to want my art.”

Nessa is an incredible photographer who is easy to work with and produces phenomenal photographs. She was happy to adapt her style to the vibe of our day (but still keep her trademark "Nessa-ness"). We wanted a photographer who wouldn't be imposing on the day and who would capture the story our wedding rather than just take a lot of clean cut portraits. That being said, the portraits we did take were also stunning, so if that's what you want, just let her know! She's great at both, just tends towards more journalistic. I plan on using Nessa again when we had kids or just need a fabulous photographer.

We are a Baltimore based wedding photography business with an incredible passion for life and love, and here at Clapp Studios we specialize in documenting the emotional moments that add meaning to our customers and their families lives. Beautiful photographs are emotional moments frozen in time for you to remember and revisit with family, friends, or a quiet moment alone - and whether in here in Maryland or at a destination miles away, we strive to create images that will be cherished for generations

Our original wedding plans changed due to the Pandemic and we had no idea what each day would bring, regarding alternate plans. However, we wanted a marriage more than anything (not just a wedding). So we stayed in contact with Mr. Clapp and he remained open to (re) scheduling and accommodating our needs. He kept my nerves at bay by reassuring me that everything would still work out. He took the time to answer all of my questions, even the repeated ones. He answered phone calls, texts, and emails within minutes. The day of the service he was on time and prepared. We had major technical difficulties and delays due to the virtual set up, but he was beyond patient and hung in there with us til the end. During the mania of it all he never made us feel like we were infringing upon his time. The pictures turned out AH-MAAAZING!!! When the complete photo album came, within a week or two, it brought me to tears. The photos were just that beautiful. Mr. Clapp has a gift of capturing every nuance and every emotion. If you want fun, professionalism, variety in poses, ease and comfort on your big day, Mr. Clapp is a sure pick! It truly was like working with family and we are so grateful to him.

What I love even more, is when something that I've taken touches another. I feel as though I see the world a little differently than most. I am, at heart, an optimist and I truly enjoy finding the beauty in everything. If I can help someone else see that beauty, then my job is done.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

The team at Once Like a Spark shot my husband and I's November 2023 wedding at the Beauport Hotel Gloucester. We could never say enough TERRIFIC things!!! We are so impressed with the value of working with OLAS. Their pricing was extremely reasonable and what we got for it blew us away -- 8 hours of a photographer and second shooter, a videographer and second shooter, 400 amazing photos, a highlight reel, videos of speeches, the entire ceremony and a 45-min feature film of everything. The talent of Graham, our photographer, and Zack our videographer was seriously SO impressive. The passion they each have for their craft was so evident the day of our wedding and to see them so excited about the work got us that much more excited about it too. Additionally, they were so easy and FUN to work with! We had such a natural and positive rapport with them and they seriously made taking all the many photos required on your wedding day feel relaxed and enjoyable. In addition, Hannah was awesome to work with! She was extremely responsive with every one of the many emails I sent and made us feel like we were in great hands from the moment we signed our contract. Would recommend this team, 10/10 to anyone!

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.

Nina was absolutely amazing and one of the best parts of our wedding day. She was recommended to us by our friends who worked with her for their wedding. From start to finish, every part of working with her was wonderful - from the initial photo call, to scheduling our engagement shoot, to planning the day-of, and then the wedding day itself. Our pictures are absolutely stunning, and we continue to get compliments from our family and friends about how beautiful the pictures are. We cannot recommend her enough!

Kelsey was incredible! We were very laid back and honestly had no clue what we wanted as far as wedding photography. So we let Kelsey take the reins and we are so thankful we did. After getting to know us and our personalities she gave posing recommendations that made us both feel confident and showed the love and intimacy we share. A few memorable moments that show how much of a pro Kelsey is: 1. when we were inside dancing Kelsey spotted a gorgeous but fleeting peach sunset, she grabbed us and made the most of the moment. Those are some of our favorite photos! 2. My husband and I kept running off to mingle with our guests (a photographers nightmare, I’m sure) Kelsey managed to keep us on track and politely pull us away from our guests. In that way she really advocated for us and the package we purchased. We cherish our photos and plan to ask Kelsey to photograph our special moments in the future!

When not behind the camera or working on the computer, we enjoy cocktails, coffee, cats, and hiking with our toddler, Brooklyn.

Sarah was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding and we are soooo glad we did. We interviewed a few photographers before booking and Sarah was honestly the most expensive, but there were a few things about her and her process that convinced me to book and IT WAS WORTH IT! We don’t regret a penny because her work is worth that much. Sarah was SO organized from the beginning. Upon booking, she sent us an online portal with all our documents and a magazine in the mail with tips and tricks to make our wedding day and engagement photos go smoothly. Truly priceless. We got lucky because Sarah had a trip to california planned before we booked her, so we were able to do our engagement photos at our home in LA. On the day of the wedding, Sarah and Ryan came organized and prepared, easing any anxieties we had that morning. Ryan was shooting with my husband while he was getting ready and he said Ryan was just so calm and it made him feel so at ease. They were so organized, my family loved them, and we had a blast getting our pictures taken with each other. Sarah and Ryan were down for anything. They worked so well with our toddler son, and sang the Bluey theme song to get him to smile for a picture. Sarah delivered our photos FREAKY fast so I had pics to wedding announcement pics to post right away ;) My husband and I loved reliving our wedding day through photos. S & R captured moments we didn’t even get to see like our son being passed around by his cousins and our older relatives getting down on the dance floor. Our wedding photos are so raw and unposed and candid, looking at them brought back all the feelings I felt on my wedding day. I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough. I’m already thinking about booking future family sessions with her because she is just too talented and easy to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
First of all, Anji and Pete are AWESOME!!!!! If you are considering a wedding photographer, engagement shoot, or just a lifetime shoot, look no further and book them. This power couple has some serious talent and it's to capture your day/moment in a way no one can. We couldn't thank them enough for our awesome engagement session and because we loved the shoot so much and the pictures even more, we booked them for our wedding as well. They are so easy to work with and truly know what they are doing. It shows in the quality of the images we got. Every little detail is captured and we got sneak peaks the day after our wedding! The best thing is that our entire family and all of our friends loved them. They were so respectful, personable, and friendly and they even remembered most of our family and friend's name and called them by it. Everyone loved our pictures as well. They both work incredibly together and they have an understanding like no other couple in the business. Best of all was that they moved like stealth. The last thing you want is a photographer who is constantly in your face and that you notice walking around taking pictures. We didn't have that feeling at all! In fact, we were quite surprised by some of the pictures they took because we didn't notice they were around us. Working with them is a breeze and they are super responsive to emails, phone calls, text. They are timely, friendly, listen to what you are looking for, and are truly passionate about what they do. Which is also what makes them great! Again, my husband and I absolutely LOVE them! And so do all of our family as well as all of our friends. Give them a shot or should I say, let them give you a shot (pun intended) and meet them. You will be so pleased with their work as well as their personality. I am so excited I have met and found them and look forward to a future shoot with them already :)

I've had a camera in my hand since I was at least ten years old. Photography has always been something I've been passionate about. I was the friend that captured all the memories in high school. Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

We loved every second of working with Kay! What initially drew us to her, was her style. We wanted to have that documentary/candid style of photography that captured all of our raw, cheesy, ugly laughing moments and Kay did just that. From our engagement photos to the day of our wedding, she caught all of those magical moments with all of our favorite people. On top of her amazing work, she will literally become your friend. She’s one of those people that allows you to just breathe easier. No awkwardness, no judgements, just fun and light and laughter. LOTS of laughter! We would choose Kay a hundred times more!

When we were first planning our wedding, my wife and I weren't sure whether or not we were going to have a videographer. We figured photos would capture the moments and event, but about a month beforehand, both of our parents urged us to record the day on video. Andrew was a godsend! He was super responsive and professional, helped us craft our vision for the teaser video as well as the longer feature, and was a notably awesome teammate to our photographer (so cool seeing them work together strategically after just meeting!). Andrew went above and beyond and recorded a lot of candid moments and all of our friends' speeches on the Friday before the wedding, which was really important to us. We can't imagine having NOT had Andrew as our videographer now, and we often smile and cry when we watch our full length video of our big day.

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.

We loved working with Darcy. It was so easy to be around her during our wedding, which was important to us as a couple who isn't the biggest fan of having our photos taken. She was super professional and took both portraits and joyful candid photos of us and all our guests. She and her team managed to get a candid, lovely photo of every single one of our guests without having to make us pose with them all night. We're an interracial couple and we were worried about having photos where only one of us was well lit. Darcy did a great job of making both of us, and all our guests of different backgrounds, look great. We love our photos!

The first time we met Steph, we felt like she was an old friend. We hired her after the first meeting – we just knew – it felt like we had met our soulmate in a wedding photographer. Fast-forward to 1-month post-wedding, we still love her like family. She is responsive, caring, and stress-free: something you need on your special day! Steph captures your heart and soul in the photos she takes. The colors are very “real” and somehow embodies how you’re feeling that day. This is how we wanted to remember our engagement and our wedding day – those exact feelings. Every time we look through our engagement and wedding photos, the feelings are overwhelming as it takes you back to that day and that time in your life. Needless and we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves: we are obsessed with our wedding photos. Steph is fun-loving and easy to work with. She has a great smile, great laugh, and makes you feel comfortable doing unnatural walks/poses. She was a huge part of our wedding day (obviously) but it didn’t feel like she was just the photographer – her heart and soul was in it. She invests in her couples and truly takes the time to get to know you but in an authentic way because she actually cares about who she photographs. Booking Steph was by far the best choice we made for our wedding and I will recommend her endlessly.

Working with Koncept Visuals for my wedding was such a wonderful experience! Dwayne did our engagement photos & we both felt so comfortable with him that we wanted to utilize his talent for the big day too. The day of our wedding, the time line was altered (makeup took longer than planned), so Dwayne compromised. He was nothing but: polite, calm, understanding & professional. My groom doesn’t like to be the center of attention, Dwayne did a terrific job of getting the photos taken that we requested without my love feeling the pressure or spotlight. Dwayne’s work speaks for itself… I love the diversity of his photography. He is creative, artistic & well educated on lighting amongst other important components of being a fantastic photographer. Koncept Visuals also provided the photo booth kiosk we had at our wedding, which was a big hit! My husband & I are so thankful we went with Koncept Visuals & we couldn’t be happier with the only piece of our wedding we get to keep, the picture memories 3

We are so thrilled that we managed to book Jess for our engagement photos and wedding! Beautiful photography was a priority for us, and we wanted our photos to have a genuine, documentary style feel. We wanted the photos to capture the real beauty of the day, without being too heavily edited (we hate the photographers who made everything look pastel!). Jessica was completely in line with our style. My husband and I aren’t naturals in front of the camera, but Jessica made us feel so at ease. We were never uncomfortable with Jessica, and she felt like a natural part of the day. Jessica’s photos speak for themselves. She is able to create stunning visuals, but most impressively, Jess captures emotion in all of her photographs. At our wedding, Jessica and her assistant Kat were always present, but never intrusive. I feel like she is a photography ninja—I don’t even remember seeing her at certain moments, and yet there are beautiful photos of everything. No detail or moment was missed. From the day we worked with Jess on our engagement photos, we knew we were in more than capable hands. I am so impressed with Jessica’s ability to find unique spaces and framing for our photos—some of my favorite photos are in front of everyday places, but with Jessica’s eye they are turned into beautiful works of art. Because she did such a fantastic job with our engagement photos, we had no worries at all on our wedding day. One of Jess’ strengths is her background working as a photographer on music tours. Put her in any type of lighting or setting, and she has the technical skills and experience to create something amazing. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Jess’ professionalism—she is always early and is kind to everyone she interacts with. She is so passionate and excited about her work. Her calm, unflappable attitude made her a pleasure to be around on our wedding day. Her enthusiasm for her work is evident. She's also incredibly hardworking at every stage of the process. Jessica was able to edit our photos and got them back to us within 6 days of our wedding—that is unheard of! We love Jess and are so impressed by her! She is beyond talented and her stunning work will let us relive our wedding day whenever we want. All of our photos were fantastic—it’s hard to narrow down even our top 100 photos. We can’t thank Jess enough for capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day. I’m truly sad that our time working together is over. Jess was easily one of our favorite vendors, and we wish her all the best as she continues to grow her business! We would enthusiastically recommend that you hire Jessica for all your photography needs. Update-- My husband and I were lucky to hire Jessica again about a year after our wedding to shoot some photos of us and our new puppy. As expected, the photos came out beautifully and were delivered to us quickly!

I cannot say enough about how great Connie was. We last minute decided to do an “elopement” style wedding with immediate family only in my hometown. Connie went above and beyond from the get-go. She responds promptly and set up a zoom call to discuss what our expectations were for the big day. She had a whole PowerPoint made for us to go over different styles of shooting and examples of poses to go over what we do/don’t like! She made a cute flyer that mapped out the schedule of the day, hour by hour, which was extremely helpful. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to have the pictures taken, and she did her own research and found a beautiful rose garden right by the church, which made for the most beautiful backdrop for the pictures. The week before our wedding the forecast showed a chance of showers on the wedding day, and she went out of her way to buy a clear umbrella for us to use for the pictures, just in case. On the day of, she arrived 2-3 hours before us at the rose garden just to scope out the garden for the best spots for pictures. While taking pictures, she has the best personality, makes it so fun, and provides great direction so we knew exactly what to do for the pictures. She is so creative and got shots that I would have never thought to capture. She sent us about 10 pictures the day after the wedding that took my breath away. She provided the remaining of the pictures 3-4 weeks later. I have gotten SO many compliments on our wedding pictures and so many people asking for her contact info to use her for their own! I am forever thankful for her capturing our day so beautifully and being so professional while also making it such a great experience. I will forever recommend her for friends and family, and will certainly use her for any future need of a photographer. Book her for your event, you won’t regret it!

Since we aren’t models, it took some getting used to but all I can say is to trust the process and the vision! Throughout the wedding day, we had time for those more posed shots, and otherwise, she captured unique moments happening around that felt so alive and true to the day. We also have a really unique wedding video thanks to the super 8 film that was shot. And for the full bridal experience, Britt’s boudoir add on is 100% worth it! I loved that Britt’s style wasn’t typical wedding photography, and we will forever cherish the way our big day was captured.

While documenting your wedding day, I prioritize your unique humanness, capturing the genuine and candid moments in front of me. I am not the photographer who meticulously curates images for a perfect social feed in the name of going viral. The images I am passionate about creating tell your unique story and leave you with moments turned heirlooms.

Mary photographed our micro wedding on a Friday afternoon and was amazing. We had a very small ceremony and she managed to get a great range of shots given the small space. She was so friendly and calming to work with, and we are so grateful she got to capture our big day!

Having your memories documented is truly one of the most important things. When we look back on our lives we are the sum of our experiences and being able to share that journey with your present and future family is such a gift.

I found Vicki on Instagram quite a while ago. I can’t recall how I stumbled across her page… but man am I so glad I did. As soon as I saw her work I knew she had to be my photographer. I didn’t care the distance or cost - her photos were that stunning and that different - I absolutely needed her. We had a virtual meet and greet and we just clicked from the start. She got my vibe. And I’d like to think we fit her vibe! Little fact not many people know, we picked our wedding date based on Vicki’s availability! We quickly booked her and scheduled our engagement shoot. She traveled all the way from Lebanon PA to asbury park NJ for this shoot! We had such a fun time with Vicki, she made us comfortable and let us act like ourselves. The photos we got back were gorgeous yet moody - just what I was looking for. She nailed. Fast forward to the wedding, her and her assistant were phenomenal. I trusted vicki so much based on what I’ve seen her do, that I gave her absolutely no direction. She took the wheel and did her thing. She even went out of her way and captured moments of our children that were just so incredible. Literally the cutest thing you will ever see. Everything she did, everything she took were beyond my expectations. The look and feel of my photos is so unique, no other photographer can successfully do what she does. I wish Vicki lived closer so we can use her for all our little milestones! We may have to travel to her for something in the future! Vicki was everything and gave us something unique to look at to always remember our day. Photos are your memories, theyre something you will have forever. You want a master of their craft to be there on your big day. Vicki was that. Snatch her up quick. You won’t regret it! Thank you vicki!

We’re Matt & Melanie! Living in our first house in Annapolis, MD, we spend our days working & our nights obsessing over our little furr babies-Olive & Willow. We fell in love at the young age of 18 & have been spending 24/7 together since. Our favorite days are when we can adventure to a new city or road-trip to a different state. We like to wander & try new coffee shops & cool restaurants. We like cuddling & watching tv on lazy days. Our style is definitely retro with lots of cozy & casual & little minimal. Our favorite weddings are the ones that are a little laid back & intimate with sentimental moments.

We are the Cashmans were outstanding! They have photographed two events for us and the quality of their work was incredible. Incredibly nice and friendly! They do a great job taking the time to understand what works best for you and then deliver it! Very happy we were able to work with them!
