I document life, love, and every moment in between as a wedding and portrait photographer living in historical Carlisle, Pennsylvania. My heart beats for joy filled couples, playful families, and joy in the ordinary. I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as ‘awkward in front of the camera’, you can’t have too many cups of coffee in one day, and I am so thrilled you are considering me to capture such special memories! I am already dreaming about all of the heartfelt details of your story, and I cannot wait to connect with you!

We just had our wedding this past weekend and are so glad we hired Addie to take our pictures! She is the absolute sweetest person you’ll ever meet and her photos are stunning! From the beginning, Addie had amazing communication and made a schedule for the photography easily that fit our needs. She made sure to capture every family photo and other wanted photo I wrote down. She was always hyping us up and making us laugh! She sent us 11 sneak peak photos less than 24 hours after our wedding too!! We had the best time with Addie and would recommend her to everyone!

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).

Jen was our photographer for our intimate beach wedding and she was wonderful! She captured our day perfectly and gave us beautiful sunset beach photos that we will love forever. Highly recommend Jen!

Photography and Weddings bring me so much joy, but the biggest blessing is being able to share that joy with my clients! I'm based right between Philadelphia and Lancaster, but I'm available anywhere to capture your love story!

Erin was absolutely everything I was looking for in a photographer and more. She is easy-going, gently assertive, and a master of her craft. She can command a shoot or a room without shouting or bluster. She has endlessly creative ideas to get the perfect shot and can clearly articulate what she needs from photo subjects to get it right on the first try. We had a lot of fun with her, both on the engagement shoot and on the wedding day. She will find the perfect angles and light to make you look amazing, and her post editing skills are *chef’s kiss*. I love her light and bright style that doesn’t sacrifice color saturation. She is constantly on top of current photography trends, but will ensure your portfolio is also timeless. We highly recommend her for her photography skills and general professionalism.

Lindsay and Nathan are amazing!! We spent countless hours looking through different photographers until we came across Lindsay. Her style was exactly what we wanted and after our phone call we knew she was the one. We have received so many compliments about her and Nathan — from the photos and videos, to the way they work the wedding, to their professionalism. And on top of all that, she is quick and efficient in response and preparing our photos/videos. She was able to adjust quickly and smoothly when things didn’t go as planned during our wedding and was so efficient with taking our portraits that we were able to take additional photos with other family members, something we didn’t plan for but now get to cherish forever because of her. Would absolutely to recommend Lindsay and Nathan to everyone, they are worth every penny!!!

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!

Throughout the planning process, Grace was quick to respond to our questions and provide helpful guidance. On our wedding day, Grace went above and beyond to make me and everyone in my bridal party feel confident and seen. Her excellent, knowledgeable and detailed work truly captured the magic of our special day. Grace did an excellent job posing our large bridal party efficiently to keep us on schedule.

Ashley Cox Photography is a professional wedding photography studio based in Virginia. Ashley has an eye for beauty in every moment of your wedding day, and preserves it with an artistic touch. 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!!

  • Serves Charlestown, MD

At Magic Hour Portraits, we believe your wedding day isn’t a production to be directed—it’s a story to be felt. We don't do stiff, awkward posing. Instead, we focus on the quiet, unposed, and cinematic moments that happen naturally: the way your partner looks at you when they think no one is watching, the shared laughs, and the raw, romantic energy of your day. We capture the magic of your honest connection so that when you look back at your photos, you don't just remember what you looked like—you remember exactly how you felt.

We are very happy with our wedding photos. Our gallery turned out great and our day-of shooter was great to work with. However, the communication between ourselves and Magic Hour was not what we would have liked. Just over a week before our wedding, we met with Robert over zoom, we went over our timeline, shots that we wanted and our expectations for him on our wedding day. On the Monday before our wedding, just 5 days before, we were notified through a perfunctory email who our day of photographer would be. I immediately reached out to Robert who informed me "To address your concerns, Magic Hour Portraits has other talented photographers who provide photography services from time to time based on scheduling". This left us scrambling 5 days before communicating with an entirely new photographer. The change in photographers had not been communicated in any way with us beyond the perfunctory email less than a week before the wedding. While things did work out, and we love the photos we were given, the lack of communication on the photographer change added stress to an already stressful week.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Maewood Collective. We hired them to capture my son’s proposal at the stunning Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, Jen made the planning process seamless. Her communication, organization, and thoughtful check-ins leading up to the big day gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly kind, supportive, and flexible….honestly, it felt like working with a friend who truly cared about making this moment special. Brooke, our photographer, was absolutely incredible. Not only is she extremely talented, but she handled everything with such calm professionalism—especially when we had a last-minute venue issue. As a mom who just wanted everything to be perfect, I was definitely feeling the pressure, but Brooke stepped in with confidence, grace, kindness and reassurance that instantly put me at ease. She made my son and his fiancée feel like celebrities. They said the entire experience was so fun, natural, and special—something they’ll never forget. Brooke went above and beyond in every way, even helping with a last-minute “emergency” by help to glue on nails that were a backup plan. That kind of care and attention to detail says everything about who she is. Even our videographer couldn’t stop raving about Brooke—mentioning how wonderful she was to work with and how she absolutely nailed the entire shoot. To say we are beyond happy with our decision to work with Maewood Collective is truly an understatement. If you’re looking for a team that is professional, kind, talented, and genuinely invested in your experience, these ladies are your team!

Her attention to detail is unparalleled and the final photos were better than we could have ever imagined - we’ve printed so many to hang around the house. Our entire wedding party commented on how comfortable they felt getting their photo taken, and just how efficient Amanda was at capturing them!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mel is truly a one-of-a-kind photographer. I’m an over planning, anxious person and bride. My photos were my top priority of my wedding day and it was extremely important to me that they were what I wanted. I had searched for what seemed like forever and stumbled across Farfalla and immediately knew it was the style I had been searching for. The contrast makes the photos intimate without comprising them and being too dark. And there is no give in color, it’s beautifully there. I call it intimately colorful, which is what my day is all about. I knew our engagement photos would be good but they surpassed anything I imagined. They were STUNNING. My fiancé is not a picture person but we both felt so comfortable within 10 minutes of the shoot. We laughed, joked, and had fun the whole time, photographer included! She just has the most fun personality that would be needed on your wedding day and from day 1 with all my questions, Mel responded within a timely manner and eased all my worries. Up to this point, I’ve texted her several times regarding the photos or canvas I’ve ordered and she’s always just so sweet and excited! It always makes you feel special by the end of a conversation. All I have to say is, you get what you pay for. Quality wedding pictures are an investment, but it’s a lifetime investment. And you want to make sure you’re investing in the right person. Mel is that person, and you will have no regrets.

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.

Sam captured the most amazing photos for our wedding. Photos that make you wonder “how did he even do that”. His work goes so much further than the clicking of a camera. His own artistic expression was a gift to the entire event. And the professionalism he brought forth before, during, and after the event makes everything very simple to track, purchase, and share. If I could, I would use Sam’s photography skills at every life event.

My name is Myles Katherine. I'm a photographer to my core and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to do what I love! Through my job, I have met so many incredible couples, artists, models, families and friends. After living in Portland, Oregon from 2012-2019, I relocated to Richmond, Virginia. However, I'm open to traveling anywhere and everywhere! I cannot make it through the day without coffee, my cat and (obviously) my cameras. I'm looking forward to being a part of your unique love story and capturing it in a beautiful, unconventional way. -Myles Katherine

Myles was our photographer for our wedding at the VA Living Museum and she exceeded our expectations (which were already high after looking through her website)! She really captured the joy of the day in such an artful and unique way. The film pictures were a particular highlight, so beautiful and elevated beyond your typical wedding photos! Myles was able to incorporate the natural landscape of the museum grounds into the photos as well. I usually feel pretty awkward getting my picture taken but Myles and her husband Chris made us and our family feel so comfortable there was no awkwardness at all! It was a privilege to work with Myles!

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!

Authentic + Creative Storytelling for all📸 It doesn't take much to get to know me! Honestly, we'll probably be friends mid-way through your session. I pride myself on making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and I think that goes for all areas of my life. I always look forward to meeting my clients and building new relationships with each and every one of you. You are sure to always have me in your corner. Your investment in me is also my investment in you.

I have second shot with Sara at weddings for years! Sara has so much knowledge and experience but more importantly she is so full of life and laughter! She makes her couples feel relaxed and comfortable. Plus she takes charge on the wedding day to make sure things go smoothly and according to schedule!
