Hi! I'm Kelly. A mom to two sweet girls and wedding photographer in Northern Virginia! First, congratulations!! You are in such an exciting time of life. I know wedding planning comes with a lot of excitement and A LOT of choices. It's my honor to document this important day in your life!

Such a talented photographer with an eye for the small details. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, she is the one to trust with your special day. Kelly was able to capture all the intimate details and beautiful shots at the venue. Some of my favorite pictures are the getting ready pictures of me and my bridesmaids. Shes great with direction so if you’re like me and don’t know how to pose, she will direct you to a flawless photo. My favorite part of her photography style is how comfortable she makes you feel, you forget you’re posing and just have a great time with her! Cannot recommend her enough! She’s also very timely in photo delivery and quality.

Ashley Gerrity Photography

5.0

East Norriton, PA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Washington, DC

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

I truly had the dream team with Ashley, Michelle, and Ashley on my wedding day. Communication is a huge thing for me when it came to planning the wedding and they always responded in a timely manner and worked with my husbands crazy schedule. On our wedding day Ashley was with the ladies and I during getting ready, while Michelle had to handle the guys, I say handle because they’re a handful especially once my dad is thrown into the mix. (You know the sos button on your phone… yeah my dad bumped that and the state cops showed up…. Oops.) but Michelle did amazing with them. We had a first look and then did our family photos and they did a wonderful job getting the kids attention (3 kids under 2). During our ceremony I had no idea they were even there, they really do just blend in to the scene. During cocktail hour Ashley took some precious photos of us with our son that I know I’ll cherish forever. They even took us out for some nighttime portraits before the left for the night. I highly recommend working with Ashley and her team !

Photography By Brea

5.0

Reisterstown, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Washington, DC

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.

My fiancé mentioned offhand that he knew a really great wedding photographer before we were even engaged. I started following her on Instagram and went down a rabbit hole on her blog, and I was instantly obsessed with her. I could tell that we had a lot in common, and I immediately wanted to make her my friend in addition to being our photographer. Her talent simply blows me away. I love that her photos capture moments in time and really make you feel something when you look at them. They aren't overly posed, and that's what I really wanted for our wedding photography. We had such a good time doing our engagement photos. Brea is just fun and easy to talk to. She never makes you feel awkward or uncomfortable, and we were just able to relax and have a good time.....and it shows in our photos. We love them so much. She was also super helpful leading up to the wedding when I had random questions about veil lengths and vendor recommendations. Then she even fit us in right before the holidays to do a quick mini session with our dog for Christmas card photos. The day of the wedding, Brea was so much fun to be around while I was getting ready. My fiancé and brother had a great time hanging out with her second shooter, Jim, and Brea's mom was an absolute gem, helping out with family photos, holding my bouquet, and making sure I didn't get my dress dirty before the ceremony. They worked so well with our dog, too, who can get a little noisy! We got so many compliments from our guests about Brea’s whole team–how awesome Brea and Jim were and how wonderful Brea’s mom was running our photobooth (which was also a huge hit that we highly recommend!) Brea’s team stayed until our wedding ended at 10 PM, and she still sent us sneak peek photos that night!!! We got our full gallery yesterday, and the photos are amazing. We love every single one of them. I’m honestly not even sure how they got some of the shots they did–they truly were like silent ninjas during the ceremony–but every single one of the photos makes me smile. There are not enough words or space to express how awesome Brea and her team are. Just do yourself a favor and book her the next time you need a photographer, but especially for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

If you’re looking for someone to photograph any special moment in your life I highly recommend Naomi. Not only did she capture our engagement, but we loved her so much that we flew her to our home state to take our wedding photos. She is such a delight to work with. She’s professional, punctual and really makes you feel at ease when in front of the camera. She is so amazing at capturing candid moments (which I love). She also gets pictures to you so quickly. Everyone at our wedding raved about how great she was and I love how organized the pictures were when we received them, it made it that much easier to look through and find specific pictures. If you want quality pictures that you’ll cherish forever I highly recommended Naomi and Sweet Memories Photography.

Bliss Photos is a Pennsylvania based Wedding Photographer servicing weddings in PA, MD, DC, NYC, and beyond!

That is a gift that you will cherish for a lifetime and lifetimes after that.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Melissa photograph both our engagement photos and our elopement. Melissa is so kind, flexible and professional. I can't say enough great things about her, and that's just as a person. She is truly an artist and fantastic at her craft.

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.

Krystina was amazing to work with! She arrived early to the first location for shooting and acclimated herself with the area before getting started with photos. She did not need to be directed where to go, she knew where to go and what to do. She suggested and executed some great solo portraits and pictures with my mom and wedding party. At the wedding itself, she took excellent photos while at the same time not being in the way — my family commented how they didn’t even notice her taking pictures most of the time. The pictures we received were incredible, exactly captured our special day. I highly recommend her!

Salman was impressively professional from what I have dealt with in the past. He made artistic suggestions and made me feel easy for natural portraits. He is creative and will go above and beyond to meet requirements and vision. I was very satisfied with the results and more than impressed with his post-processing skills in comparison to the original. I will hire him for my next photo shoot and have recommended him and his competitive skills to other friends.
