Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding. Thanks, Eivan's!

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.

Maggie and Patrick did such an amazing job! Maggie indeed leads with “grace and authority” and quickly poses big groups (even the people that aren’t that into it). We had so much fun getting to know them and appreciate the extra effort they put into meetings to plan our timeline for the day. They are the nicest people and added so much energy to a very long day. Maggie even went the extra step and made sure that the table numbers were facing the door and helped me place decor. They both have a great eye for detail. We are in love with our photos and are so happy with their services!

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.

I'm Ciana, a documentary-style wedding and elopement photographer based along the East Coast, serving adventurous and experience-driven couples all over the world. Using film and digital mediums, I've developed a knack for chasing stories - the kind that are told through landscapes, reinvented traditions, fleeting glances, and wholesome conversations.

Wild Elements Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Ciana and her team were clear, helpful, open and honest in their communication. They were dedicated, thorough and efficient in their work, which was evident in the amazing photos they captured. On the day of the wedding, Ciana's team showed up ready to go and instantly had her team cover both of our houses for getting ready photos. We did some posed photos, but the rest of the night was all candid shots that turned out incredible. Ciana and her team did an amazing job navigating the day and even before the wedding with creating our timeline. We couldn't be happier with the service and quality we received from Wild Elements Photography.

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.

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!

I met Brea when she photographed my best friend’s wedding, and I knew right away that she was the photographer I wanted for my own. Brea is warm, personable, and took the time to truly get to know us as a couple so that our photos reflected what mattered most to us. She was incredibly responsive to every request, creative and adaptive in bringing our vision to life, and somehow managed to capture every big moment and quiet detail with artistry and authenticity. We were stunned when she sent us photos that very night! Her speed is matched only by the breathtaking quality of her work. Choosing Brea and her team was one of the best decisions we made.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Working with Aimee was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we truly have no regrets. She traveled to Brooklyn for our engagement session, adjusted our shoot time around questionable weather, and immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera—especially since it was our first professional photos together. On our wedding day, when it rained, she stayed calm, quickly pivoted, and found a way to capture beautiful outdoor photos without anyone getting wet. She made everyone feel at ease, seamlessly organized our very large family for portraits, and was such a kind, organized presence throughout the day. Most importantly, her talent shines through in every photo—she captured so much genuine emotion and all the little moments that made our wedding unforgettable.

I like to describe my style as a thoughtful balance between creative and timeless. Anticipating and capturing moments charged with spontaneity, joy, humor, and magic are the roots of my passion. Finding and manifesting compelling light & compositions is the heart of my creative process.

Rachel was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer! She has captured not only my wedding but also my sisters' weddings and all our family photos, and over time, she has truly become part of the family. The engagement shoot was included, and it was incredible—she made us feel so comfortable and captured our connection beautifully. Her ability to make everyone feel relaxed shines through in every photo she takes. Rachel did an amazing job working with the kids, using a tiger puppet named 'Tigey' to capture the most perfect smiles and laughs from my nieces and nephews, which made for some of our favorite photos. What really stood out was how much fun she was to spend the day with! She brought such great energy and made the entire experience enjoyable for everyone. Thanks to Rachel, we have the most stunning memories to look back on. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely fun photographer, I can't recommend Rachel highly enough!

How lucky am I that I get to celebrate love not just on Valentine’s Day but every single day, Thank you to all of my couples for choosing me to document your love story.

Brittany is INCREDIBLE! I interviewed a few different vendors for our photographer and I am beyond impressed with Brittany’s professionalism, communication, and work!! You can just feel how much she cares about your day and bringing your vision to life. She brought props for the detail photos that I would have forgotten about. Was on board for a last minute decision to do a photo race to get photos with all 220 of our guests. I explained a confetti photo I wanted to Brittany in our very first call and I am ecstatic how it turned out and how she really captured us throughout the day. I felt supported by her, knew what phase of the process we were at at all times (even with her having a baby a few months before my wedding) and her professionalism on the day of the wedding were exactly what you want and expect when hiring someone to capture your memories.

I am a Baltimore based wedding and engagement photographer, known for my vibrant wedding photos with an authentic, candid style. I work with couples who are laid back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying time with family and friends, not spending half the day posing for stiff, awkward photos.

As a videographer, I have worked with Morgan many times, and each time I find out she is the photographer for the day, I breathe a sigh of relief. Her work is excellent, and she does such a great job directing her couples to give them the best photographs. She communicates well and takes the time to make sure couples get everything they need. She is not only professional when it comes to her clients; she works seamlessly alongside all the vendors at the event. You will not go wrong with hiring her. She's amazing!

Capturing the way clouds drift above a ceremony, the hush of a foggy morning, candlelight flickering after the sun has set. But it’s not just about the setting; it’s about the feeling. How you look at the people you love. The stillness in serene moments. The way the light falls as you hold each other, married and in love. I adore the small moments. Ones that feel personal and unposed. The kind of images that, years from now, take you right back to how it felt. I’m so glad you’ve found my work. I’d be honored to tell your story.

From the moment we booked Nessa K, she was a dream to work with. Her communication was quick, knowledgeable, and kind, putting us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. On the day of, Nessa's attention to detail and unique, thoughtful approach resulted in the most beautiful, emotional photos that truly captured the essence of our special day. Her photos made me see my day differently - they stopped time and made the joy and love we felt so real. Nessa's work is truly invaluable, and we are so thankful and happy we chose her to be our wedding photographer. Highly recommended!
