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.

His warm, authentic presence made us feel so comfortable behind the camera; by the end of the day he felt like a beloved guest of our intimate day. He was timely, professional, and the perfect balance of “go-with-the-flow” mixed with “I’m here to help make this day all you dreamed it to be.” The pictures truly had us speechless. He captured our day so beautifully & true to us; we will treasure the pictures for a lifetime. Justin is THE wedding photographer every needs & deserves.

Kandid Art Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Columbia, MD

I’m Artur full-time wedding photographer behind the Kandid Arts. As a wedding photographer with roots in Europe and a heart in the United States, I bring a unique blend of cultural influences and experiences to my craft. Born and raised in Eastern Europe, I developed a passion for photography that has only grown stronger during my last few years in the United States. For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography, capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day.

Working with Kandid Art was overall a great experience! They showed up on time and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. Though the wedding ran a bit behind, they were flexible. The photos turned out beautiful, and they got creative with the locations given the cold, rainy weather. They even got some funny shots of the kids at the wedding that are some of my favorites! The video was also good, although I don't love that they had to use like stock music for the background (I guess it's because of copyright issues with other songs?). I wish they would have included audio of the vows rather than the cheers of the attendees, so make sure you ask them to do that if you want it! I do love that they provided us with all the raw video footage though, as some of the most special moments didn't make the highlight video. Due to the event running behind, the cost increased a bit (which I was asked about after the wedding) due to the 2 photographers needing to split up to cover the shots. I wish they had asked me or the Wedding Coordinator about that on the day of so we could understand better what was the issue, but it was a minor thing in terms of communication. Overall 8/10 rating and would recommend.

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.

Amazing Wedding Photographer – Highly Recommend! Victoria is an absolute gem! From our very first meeting, it was clear she is passionate about her craft and genuinely cares about capturing the essence of your special day. She was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to every detail, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, Victoria was everywhere yet never intrusive. She has an incredible eye for capturing candid moments as well as perfectly posed shots. The lighting, angles, and creativity in her photos are stunning. When we received our final gallery, we were blown away—every photo was a masterpiece that brought all the emotions of the day flooding back. What truly sets Victoria apart is her warm personality and ability to connect with people. Our guests adored her, and she made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, Victoria is the one!

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! My husband and I got married in August at Woodberry Kitchen. We hired Layla for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and wedding day. For our engagement photos, I was nervous to be in front of the camera, but she made us feel comfortable, made us laugh and got beautiful shots! 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!

Brendan was one of the vendor best choices we made for our wedding! He was incredibly kind, patient, and honored all of our special requests (even the extra silly ones). He truly took time to get to know us as a couple, and as individuals, and ensured that his photographs represented our personalities and all of the quirks of our relationship. He also seemed to genuinely enjoy being there and getting to know everyone - was truly a part of the celebration. He also provided a lot of emotional support and logistical planning support when the weather turned out to be rainy for the day and ended up utilizing the rain in some really innovative pictures.

Choosing Rachel & her team was one of the best decisions we made wedding planning! We hired her for our engagement photos, wedding day photos, as well as Super8 film coverage. If you’re reading this review, I’m sure you’ve seen her portfolio and her work is obviously stunning. She brings an authentic feel to all of her photos and is amazing at capturing the unplanned/ non staged moments. That being said, her and her team are also amazing about helping couples pose for those staged portraits. My husband and I are not the most natural in front of the camera and she immediately made us feel at ease and directed us in a way that still felt natural & true to us. If you’re considering adding on the Super8 film coverage- do it! We wanted video coverage of our wedding but we felt that many of the videography examples we were seeing by other providers were too produced and inauthentic. When I watched a sample of a Super8 film her team had done in the past and teared up watching strangers say I do, I knew her Super8 was the right direction for us. Our video means so much to us. It feels timeless and captures all of the emotions throughout the day. We watch it each month anniversary of our wedding and it never fails to make me tear up. I lastly want to share a lover letter to her and her entire team. They are incredibly kind, funny, and make you feel at ease immediately. I never felt uncomfortable or self conscious with them. We found ourselves laughing all day. Not only are they all incredibly talented, but they work so well together and radiate chill positivity. Moral of this story- you need to hire Rachel & her team. Period.

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

We truly don’t even know where to begin with how incredible Jasmine and her team were. From the very first conversation to the final goodbye on our wedding night, they were everything you could hope for in a photography team - calm, kind, organized, and unbelievably talented. On the wedding day, Jasmine had this effortless way of directing us that never felt stiff or staged. She somehow managed to make everything feel natural and fun, even during portraits (which we were nervous about going into). Her team blended into the background in the best way possible, capturing every candid moment without ever disrupting the flow of the day. Looking back at the photos, it genuinely feels like they bottled up the emotion of the entire wedding - the quiet in-between moments, the laughter, the happy tears, the energy on the dance floor. Every image feels alive and intentional, like a story we get to relive over and over again. They were also incredibly organized and on top of every detail, keeping things moving smoothly while somehow making it all feel completely stress-free for us. That balance of professionalism and warmth is rare, and they nailed it. We are beyond grateful we had Jasmine and her team with us. These aren’t just wedding photos—they’re memories we’ll have for the rest of our lives, captured better than we ever could have imagined.

Every wedding I photograph is personal to me — it’s about honoring your story, your people, and the fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered forever.

Morr Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Alyssa's communication was prompt, effective, and completely professional. Her vision and attention to detail were impeccable, and she captured all the special moments we were hoping for and so much more. As someone who doesn't always feel photogenic, Alyssa made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She has now photographed our engagement, wedding, and we're even doing our maternity photos with her this week - her talent is truly timeless and the quality of her work is simply excellent. I cannot recommend Alyssa and Morr Photography enough to any couple planning their wedding.

Her warm personality and incredible skill behind the lens make her an invaluable asset for any couple's special day.

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, our experience with Lee was nothing short of amazing!!! When we first met Lee in 2019, he welcomed us into his studio with open arms and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. It quickly became apparent that Lee valued his relationship with us and that, for him, to truly capture the essence of our special day he wanted to understand our unique relationship. We shared a glass of delicious wine and talked for over an hour, reviewed some of his work, shared our vision of our wedding, and shared important details of our story together. My wife and I felt so comfortable with him, like we were already friends, and not just another client. I still remember the way I felt walking out of his studio that day. We knew right then and there that he was special and the right choice for us. Fast forward to 2020 and the world had suddenly and drastically changed. My wife and I were forced to postpone our wedding until the following year (November 2021). The experience was painful and frustrating, forcing us to make adjustments and sacrifices that were not part of our original plans. Throughout that entire time, Lee was there for us. He checked in on us, he invited us to hang out, he showed that he really cared. Lee went above and beyond for us for our engagement photos and traveled quite a long distance to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When we had a small "backyard BBQ" wedding in October 2020 for our official marriage (we didn't want to wait another year), out of the goodness of his heart, Lee volunteered to come shoot our day and help capture those precious moments with close family and bridal party. And, at long last, on our big wedding day in November 2021, Lee delivered amazing photographs and an unforgettable experience beyond our highest expectations! He brings extensive experience to the table and we were so impressed with how deftly he moved and how efficiently he operated throughout our wedding day. Lee is kind, funny, reliable, gentle, generous, polite, professional, fair, and he takes amazing photographs! Lee, thank you for choosing us and making our lives better and our wedding day the best it possibly could have been.

Working with Naveed at DMV Nikkah was amazing. He was very polite and professional. He communicated throughout the entire time from the moment we inquired about his services until we obtained our photographs. He has provided assistant services who was very sweet and could help the bride if needed. The photos came out beautiful and sooner than expected! The Nikkah partition was beautiful as well. Naveed was knowledgeable about our photography location which was very helpful too! Overall I highly recommend Naveed and DMVNikkah.

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.

Tia is the best!!! My husband and I have done two sessions with her and we loved our photos so much!! She is so creative and fun to work with, and made it super easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you’re on the fence, just hire her already!!

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.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer that will go above and beyond, Sam is your man. He was so much more than a photographer. 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!

Welcome! I’m Jenna Coyle. I’m a photographer working and living in Northern Virginia. I have always been drawn to art, but portrait photography captured my heart. I find joy in providing my clients with wonderful memories they can cherish for a lifetime.

If you're looking for a cool, smart, TALENTED photographer, Jenna is your girl. My Husband and I were looking for someone to match our energy on our wedding day (goofy, chill (or doing our best to be) and above all else FUN). Jenna knew exactly what we were going for from the start. She was able to hang out and joke around with our wedding party while still delivering the most gorgeous photos I've ever seen. She offered helpful posing tips and no on ever felt self conscious or awkward. Also sorry this review took me 5 months to write, wedding planning burnout is real y'all. Love you Jenna! Ps, she got the cutest pictures of our dog.
