Oh my gosh, where do I even start with Eternal Vistas? Bhanu captured our wedding with such effortless brilliance, it’s like he was everywhere at once, soaking up every moment without ever intruding. From the mariachi band hyping up the crowd to our families tearing it up during the tarantella dance, he got it all—and made it look like a movie! The candid shots are our absolute obsession: there’s one of my abuelita throwing her head back laughing, and another of my husband sneaking a kiss during the chaos of the reception. Those photos burst with so much love and energy, we can’t stop staring. Bhanu made us feel like we were the only couple in the universe, and that kind of care is rare. Eternal Vistas is pure magic, y’all.

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.

Sarah was amazing to work with! We first did our engagement photos with her and knew she was the right photographer for us. My husband is not super comfortable in front of the camera, but Sarah and Jack (her partner/second shooter) helped put him at ease for our photos! I love her photography style and editing, and I feel like her team truly captured the beauty and love we felt on our wedding day. Sarah was very easy to communicate and work with and I feel like she listened to my vision and knew the key shots I wanted for the day. She also was incredible with time management, ensuring we got all of the shots we needed so we didn't have to miss much of our cocktail hour or any of our reception! Her turnaround time was also super quick, as we had all of our photos back in about 6 weeks (we also got married in September, a high volume time for her!). Can't recommend Sarah enough, we will continue to use her in the future for milestone photos!

A lifetime of memories can occur in a single day. After months, perhaps even years of planning, you deserve to remember your "best day yet" through vibrant and meaningful portraiture. That's what we want for you: A positive, "we totally nailed it," "I've gotta show everyone," photographic experience from start to finish!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have to give all the credit to my wife for starters. She found Rachel and had such a clear vision for what she wanted our photos to feel like. Rachel not only saw that vision, she elevated it in every way. From our engagement shoot at One Eyed Mikes in Fells Point, to our wedding day on May 3rd, Rachel brought her creativity, professionalism, and genuine care to every moment she captured. The engagement session was when I first realized we had something special, Rachel used light so intentionally and understood exactly what we were going for. The results were stunning, and it made booking her for the wedding an easy decision. Fortunately, the stars aligned, and we were lucky enough to have her shoot our wedding. On the wedding day, Rachel was phenomenal. She had scouted photo locations around Mt. Vernon, including a walk through Flower Mart. She knew exactly where to take us to make the most of our surroundings. We also captured moments at Hotel Revival, and her attention to detail made everything run so smoothly. She took the time to understand what we wanted and helped us feel comfortable and confident from beginning to end. We’ve already received a few sneak peeks, and they honestly left us speechless. Rachel captured us in a way that felt so true to who we are. One photo in particular stood out to me not because I looked good in it, but because she somehow captured the exact energy and emotion of the moment. That’s a gift. I can’t recommend Rachel enough. She matched our style, exceeded our expectations, and brought my wife’s vision to life in the most beautiful way. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly gets it, someone who listens, prepares, and delivers more than you hoped for, Rachel Dibs is the one.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based right in Baltimore, MD. Originally from Greece. There is nothing that makes me happier than capturing laughter, love, and connections. I believe that everything happens for a reason

Awarded Best of Zola
After meeting dozens of photographers, scrolling hundreds of portfolios, and feeling like all wedding photographers were the same, I saw Margarita at a wedding expo booth. Her display photos were nothing I had ever seen from a wedding photographer before...an artistic voice. Scroll her work and you'll be relieved to find someone who captures raw, real emotion and doesn't rely on 50 filters and over saturation in her work. Her prices were incredibly reasonable so we booked her immediately. After talking with us, she suggested we do our engagement shoot at a brewery/arcade which we had never been to and now we go every week! Props to her Baltimore city knowledge and ability to read us to find one of our favorite places that has significant meaning More importantly, when we got our photos back, we were floored. Neither my partner nor I really like our photos taken but we loved the photos and how we looked. She brought out the models in us with such ease because the whole time you work with her it feels like your with a friend who just happens to have a camera. It all felt natural and genuine and you can see it in the photos. The wedding was the same thing - just a laidback feeling between my spouse, Margarita, and me just hanging out. Yes, she can shoot a camera. Yes, she can edit photos. Yes, she can properly read light and stage photos. All necessary skills of a photographer but her real skill is making connections with her clients and capturing genuine emotions and moments. She'll set your mind at ease so you can be present with your partner to enjoy your day then she'll deliver you hundreds of breathtaking photos. Book her, you won't regret it.

Layla was my absolute favorite vendor to work with for our wedding. She is a ray of sunshine with an upbeat, welcoming, and fun personality. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, pick her!

It was awesome to have her for the rehearsal dinner, she took great photos of us and our guests. On our wedding day she was the best!

Silver Orchard Creative is led by Christine Baumgarten, a Maryland-based wedding photographer serving Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and select East Coast destinations. Christine photographs couples who value emotional storytelling, refined aesthetics, and a calm, supportive experience. Her work blends romantic, film-inspired imagery with true-to-life color and a balance of editorial portraits and candid moments. She is deeply involved throughout the planning process, offering guidance on timelines, lighting, and flow so couples can feel confident, present, and fully supported on their wedding day.

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!

Hey there, my name is Tia! I'm 27 years old and living in Baltimore, and I've been documenting love stories for the last 9 years. I truly believe I have the best job in the world. In addition to photog, my other loves include dancing, 70s + 80s rock, cooking, anything involving my family and friends, my cat Goose, and watching reality dating shows.

Alison and I met Tia when she photographed our friends’ wedding in 2024. We were both in the wedding party, and right away we were blown away by how talented and professional she was. Not long after their wedding, the sneak peeks came out — and they were absolutely breathtaking. So when we got engaged later that year, there was no question who we wanted as our photographer. Even though we’ve only worked with Tia in a professional setting, she has a way of connecting with you on such a personal level that it feels like you’ve known her for years. She’s warm, genuine, and makes you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. I have a big family, and we were a little nervous about getting all the photos done before the ceremony. Tia showed up completely prepared — she had her shot list on her phone mounted to her camera — and somehow managed to keep everything organized and right on schedule. We love her shooting style. It’s natural, candid, and focused on capturing real moments rather than overly posed photos. Of course, we did a few of those, but the candid shots are what truly stand out — the ones where you forget the camera’s even there. Everyone says the photographer is one of the most important vendors for your wedding, and I couldn’t agree more. Tia was absolutely incredible, and we can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Tia, for capturing our day so beautifully and for being such a joy to work with!

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.

We cared most about the small, beautiful, candid moments people share with one another on a wedding day and Sam captured all of it. He has a magical way of capturing emotions and making everything seem like it is in motion. We had a small family wedding and Sam immersed himself into the day and our families. It was so wonderful. He did the work of three photographers and I'm still not sure how he accomplished it all! More than that, he was there for every little thing we needed. Extra bluetooth speaker? Sam was on it. Hep with boutonnieres? Sam was on it. The photos made us cry and captured the day perfectly. I am so grateful we were one of the few wedding Sam photographed in 2025. If he's available, book him right away!
