“Bekky is the BEST of the best. I am so happy we had her by our side not just on our wedding day but truly through the entire planning process. During our engagement shoot she gave us EXACTLY the vibe that I envisioned, and she captured exactly how our relationship felt at that moment. And she is the ultimate hype girl! 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. Finally, she got our photos back to us in record time and THEN even sent us photo keepsakes & a flash drive of all the photos. She is the absolute best. I could not be more grateful for Bekky, her talent, and how she forever captured our wedding for us. Hire her immediately!!”

“Cris was extremely professional from our very first conversation. We decided to do our wedding photo shoot on a frozen lake with a beautiful winter scenery, and since we had just moved to New Hampshire, she was incredibly helpful in finding the perfect location that matched exactly what we were looking for. The photo shoot itself was absolutely amazing, and the location was stunning. Cris made us feel so comfortable the entire time. She guided us with poses while also listening to our ideas and requests, which made the experience feel very natural and fun. She truly goes above and beyond, even in freezing temperatures, and the photos turned out AMAZING! I shared them with friends, and some of them genuinely thought the pictures were AI-generated because they were just too perfect. If you’re looking for the best photographer in New Hampshire, look no further — you just found her!”

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).

“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!

“Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!”

One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out.

“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!!”

“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!”

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.”

“We hired Christine of Silver Orchard Creative for our engagement and wedding photography in 2022 and our experience with her was an absolute dream from day one. From our initial consultation to our wedding day, she was beyond helpful, professional, and supportive. Choosing her was one of the best and most important decisions we made during our entire planning process. We were nervous going into our engagement session since we had never taken professional photos before, but Christine instantly made us feel comfortable. She taught us all the best angles, poses, dips, and twirls and turned the whole experience into something fun and memorable. Those photos are still some of our favorites. When our wedding day arrived, Christine brought such a calming presence. As soon as she walked in, I felt collected and at ease. She kept us organized and on time while capturing every special moment along the way. She offered timeline guidance, shared helpful suggestions throughout the planning process, and truly went above and beyond in every way. Looking back at our gallery, we are reminded not just of how the day looked, but how it felt, and that is something we will always treasure. Christine became so much more than our wedding photographer. She became our “life” photographer. After our engagement and wedding photos, we knew we would return to her again and again. Now, in 2026, we are thrilled to be scheduling a family session with her as we begin our next chapter as parents. It feels so special to have the same person who captured the start of our marriage now helping us document this new season of life. We cannot thank you enough, Christine!”

I'm a full-time wedding photographer currently based out of a little town in the middle of the mountains of Western Maryland. I have a serious case of wanderlust, an obsession with castles, all dogs, Game of Thrones, and pretty much anything that takes me outside.

“I can’t say enough about Mellisa. She did a truly AMAZING job at our wedding! Not only did she capture our big day so wonderfully but she also made sure I was well taken care of from the start to the end. 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!”

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!”

“From our very first consultation to the final delivery of our wedding album, working with Matt & Moe McMaster was an absolute dream. They have an incredible ability to capture moments in a way that feels both authentic and magical. For our engagement shoot, Matt & Moe made us feel at ease immediately. Their creative direction and genuine enthusiasm resulted in a set of photos that truly reflected our personalities and relationship. We were impressed by their attention to detail and knack for finding the perfect lighting and angles. On our wedding day, Matt & Moe was nothing short of exceptional. They seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments as well as orchestrating stunning posed shots with ease. Their professionalism and calming presence helped make the day flow smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed or pressured. The final images were beyond our expectations. Each photo tells a story, filled with emotion and beauty. We especially appreciated their ability to capture both the grand moments and the small, intimate details that made our day uniquely ours. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines artistry with professionalism and truly cares about making your special moments unforgettable, look no further than McMaster Photographer. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the stunning results!”

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.

“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.”
