Kate Fine Art Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Annapolis, MD
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000

In 2003 I began my career in photography with the Maryland Film Office in Baltimore and photographed my first wedding in 2004 with my sister-in-law. I was in love! In 2007 I decided to go full time with wedding photography. I moved out west to apprentice with veteran wedding photographers in Las Vegas and Los Angeles to master studio lighting and posing techniques. I began working full time as a wedding photographer in Annapolis under my own company in 2009. Since then, I have met hundreds of amazing couples. When I'm not photographing a wedding, you can most likely find me on a mountain or the Chesapeake Bay with my family...camera in hand.

Kate is a super talented and professional photographer and we’re so happy we chose her for our wedding. From day one Kate was responsive, professional and super easy to work with. We had our wedding in Greece, and despite the language barrier, Kate connected with our wedding planner to ensure that everything went seamlessly. She asked questions and was very engaged making sure she knew every detail of the photo timeline. She even typed out an email in Greek to our wedding planner somehow!! We were very hands off and gave her complete creative control, and she was amazing! On the day of our wedding Kate showed up and went above and beyond, capturing all of the important moments, with little to no direction from us on our big day. We received the sneak peak shots very quickly after the wedding and we absolutely loved them! We are so happy with our decision to work with Kate and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, professional photographer!

Alexandra Kent Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Annapolis, MD

Technically my name is Alexandra, but my friends all call me Alex. I shot my first wedding in 2015- and immediately knew I had found my calling. Now, with four years of experience under my belt, I still pinch myself that I get to do this as my JOB! Pinning the boutonniere on your dad, reminding your bridesmaids to remove the hair ties from their wrists, and maybe even jumping on the dance floor when the Cha Cha slide comes on (it is my JAM.) I truly take my job as your bonus bridesmaid to heart. All the while, capturing beautiful images full of LIFE that tell the story of your wedding day.

Alex is AMAZING! Our wedding photos turned out exactly how we wanted. We can't stop looking at them. She not only gave us beautiful photos and memories but was the BEST person to spend the day with. She helped make sure our wedding ran smoothly and was so fun to be around. My husband and I don't love taking pictures, but Alex made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we had so much fun. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Alex!!!

The quality of their work was simply amazing - their photos are timeless, professional, and extremely detailed oriented. We were especially impressed when another photographer had to cancel last minute, and Edgar stepped in seamlessly, presenting his services to us in a very prepared and professional manner. Throughout the day, the Anchor Studios team was flexible, punctual, caring, organized, knowledgeable, and had great time management, ensuring our wedding day went off without a hitch.

Hi, I’m Jen El-Haddad, owner and lead photographer of Jennifer Mary Collective — a dual-city photography brand based in Baltimore, MD and Charleston, SC. I specialize in wedding and branding photography that celebrates connection, color, and storytelling. My love for photography started young — with a Polaroid sticker camera and a stack of disposable film rolls. What began as a childhood obsession grew into a lifelong passion for capturing emotion and artistry in every frame. I’m a curly-headed, Old Bay-loving, caffeine-dependent Marylander with a soft spot for Southern charm (and a colorful Lilly Pulitzer print or two).

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t begin to express how happy we were with Jennifer Mary photography for our engagement and wedding photos! Not only is Jen literally the nicest human, but her ability to make 2 camera shy people feel comfortable taking pictures is incredible. Jen and her team worked so well with our younger family members (we all know that can be tricky), and she worked with our event coordinator to make sure we could get sunset pictures without disrupting the timeline of events of the night. Her creativity and attention to detail is outstanding, we would choose her every time!

Lindsay and Nathan were wonderful to work with and our photos turned out absolutely amazing! We splurged on photo/video and it was SO worth it - they’ll last a lifetime. Our engagement session felt like a fun date night - Lindsay is a pro at calling the shots and posing you naturally. On our actually wedding day, I was a little nervous with the timing since we weren’t doing a first look, but everything worked out perfectly and we got a ton of photos!! The lighting was also gorgeous and was captured so well. We got sneak peeks within a week, and photos/videos about 5 weeks after the wedding, which was faster than expected and a nice surprise!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

She has worked as a wedding photographer for many years, providing exceptional service and stunning collection for each couple. Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

She exudes happiness & enthusiasm. Through the planning process she went above & beyond to give me a photographer’s perspective on wedding day details. Our wedding day with her was also a dream. She again captured the emotion & happiness exactly as it felt and her photos are just stunning. She got all the shots I asked for, but also so many other shots & moments that I didn’t expect and that we treasure so much. And again, the ultimate hype girl, her energy is unmatched.

Her work blends romantic, film-inspired imagery with true-to-life color and a balance of editorial portraits and candid moments.

Christine photographed our January 2022 wedding at Overhills Mansion in Catonsville, and we can't recommend her enough! I actually know Christine since we went to the same college. She also photographed my best friend's wedding, and she did such a great job that we knew we had to hire her. My husband and I both love the quality and style of her images and just her overall vibe. After meeting with her over Zoom, it was clear we found a great match. She took our engagement photos in Alexandria, which came with the package we chose. It was great to practice posing and just getting a feel for working with her before our wedding. We had a great time with Christine and the photos turned out amazing! As we got closer to the wedding, Christine and her assistant, Megan, communicated with us to make sure we were all on the same page with the timeline and all the details. Christine even created and shared some additional resources — like a wedding details checklist — to help us out with our planning. We had the best time with her on our wedding day too. My husband and I were both worried about the weather because the forecast said it would rain/snow. But Christine contacted us ahead of time and let us know our options right away. She eased our worries and made sure we still had wonderful photos despite the dreary weather. The photos were absolutely beautiful! She also made sure we followed our timeline! It was such a pleasure working with Christine. She's a pro who is a master of her craft and a true professional all-around. We will treasure our photos forever!

Hi there, I'm Rachel, a portrait and wedding photographer based in Washington DC and NYC. With a BFA in Photography and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master's degree in Film Studies from the University of Edinburgh, I have spent over 15 years honing my skills and deepening my understanding of photography as an art form. When I'm not behind the camera, I’m often delving into the world of mid-century design, watching films and going on hikes with my husband, Jamie.

Hiring Rachel was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her eye for composition and color gave us a gallery of magazine-worthy photographs. Even indoors and in low-light conditions, Rachel captured consistently beautiful shots. She also delivered our preview within a week and our full 500+ photo gallery in under 30 days. If you’re looking for stylized, yet natural-looking photos — not too cheesy, not the same pictures you see over and over on Pinterest — book her. We’re grateful we did.

Mellisa is also very good at finding the perfect angle right away, which tells you how talented she is as a photoprapher. I used her pictures for our Christmas cards and I received SO MANY compliments!! I also used her work to create a wedding photo album, which I gifted to my parents-in-law, and they were very impressed and moved. Her photos capture and deliver even the subtle emotions of people, and that allows us to relive our unforgettable wedding day. Her work definitely touches many people’s hearts and I can’t thank her enough for it! Being able to work with her was absolutely one of the best decisions I made for my wedding and I HIGHLY recommend her. Don’t look for any further! I would love her to take our future family photos or anniversary photos as well! Thank you for being such a kind, fun, thoughtful, and talented photographer, Mellisa! We are forever thankful!

Wedding photography shouldn't be an investment. When trying to book my own wedding photographer, I noticed that pages listing costs were never called "prices," never "rates" -- always "investment," a word that brings to mind loans, savings, risk. A house is an investment. A car is an investment. Photos of your wedding day? Those should be a given. I became a wedding photographer because I believe beautiful photos should be accessible for all couples. That's why I charge by the hour--so you can build a package that works for you.

Choosing Aleyna Rentz Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From our first correspondence, Aleyna was prompt in her responses and genuinely interested in learning about our vision. On the day of the wedding, she proved to be patient and professional when I was running late, never making us feel rushed or stressed. What really impressed us was her willingness to adapt, she welcomed my family into our photos even though they weren't originally part of the plan, showing how attentive she was to making our day special. The final photos came out beautifully, with every detail captured perfectly. Aleyna is truly a saint, and we couldn't recommend her more highly.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

We were so thrilled to have Sam help us capture memories on our special day! From our engagement session to our wedding reception, and everything in between, Sam has such a warm and friendly presence that we were immediately put at ease and felt like we were with an old friend. His creative and artistic style was what immediately drew us to him. He’s got an amazing knack for scouting locations and backdrops that are unexpected and visually compelling. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day and it was a true pleasure to get to have Sam with us every step of the way.
