Hi, my name is Katrina! I have been coordinating weddings for almost over a decade now. I started doing weddings with my mother who was an event planner and designer at the time and fell in love with the process and being part of such a beautiful occasion. I work with clients directly from weeks to several months to help curate, design, execute making their dream come to fruition!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Katrina as our wedding coordinator and I cannot speak highly enough of her attention to detail and meticulous planning. Though I had 15 people in my wedding, due to covid, it still felt like a dream come true getting married that day. She had planned a mini surprise for my best friends to come and see me before I got married which was very special. I thank Katrina for making my wedding a memorable one and even though it wasn’t traditional because of covid, she was still able to bring out what I had envisioned for my covid-19 wedding. Her quality of service was superb and I highly recommend.

I’ve spent over a decade painting love stories in motion—capturing not just moments, but the emotional truth behind them. My approach is rooted in trust and collaboration. I take the time to truly connect with each couple because I’ve found that the most meaningful films are created when my clients feel seen, heard, and understood. If you’re looking for a cinematic experience that lingers—where shots breathe, and your story is told with intentionality and emotional depth—I’d be honored to explore what we can create together. I don’t just show up with a camera; I show up ready to partner with you in crafting something heartfelt and lasting.

Awarded Best of Zola
In my opinion, a videographer is a MUST for your wedding day. Elmwood Forest was a preferred vendor on many lists we received— and now we know why. The day of the wedding, they were so professional and kind. They were patient with us and our big family. They captured speeches, vows, and the best dance moves. We have 9 beautiful minutes to watch our favorite day of our lives OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. The best videographer out there!!

From our very first meeting with Shaymah, we felt an overwhelming sense of trust and confidence. Beyond her professional expertise, Shaymah took the time to genuinely get to know us and our love story, which added a deeply personal touch to every aspect of our wedding day. Her expertise, dedication, and passion for her work were evident in every interaction. Shaymah displayed incredible foresight, setting up a rain plan that ensured our wedding would be beautiful, rain or shine. Her meticulous nature was evident when she obtained insurance documentation from each vendor, leaving no room for unforeseen issues. The detailed floor plan and the comprehensive task checklist she provided not only guided us in the lead-up to our wedding but also served as a testament to her thoroughness. Shaymah crafted an individualized itinerary tailored to our unique vision for the day, and proactively shared this with all vendors to ensure a harmonized and seamless execution. What we particularly appreciated was Shaymah's commitment to regular meetings, ensuring we were always on the same page. Her recommendations for vendors were invaluable, introducing us to professionals who matched our vision and expectations. On our wedding day, Shaymah was nothing short of exceptional. Every event, from the ceremony to the reception, flowed effortlessly under her watchful eye. Shaymah expertly coordinated our ceremony rehearsal, ensuring everyone was well-prepared, and then masterfully managed the actual ceremony, ensuring every moment unfolded exactly as envisioned. Her constant communication with us throughout the day reassured us that everything was under control, allowing us to truly soak in and enjoy every moment. Shaymah's adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances was exemplified when the ice cream truck mistakenly went to the wrong venue; she swiftly coordinated with them, ensuring they reached the correct location without a hitch. Additionally, Shaymah displayed tremendous thoughtfulness by ensuring all our gifts were safely secured and put away after the festivities, giving us one less thing to worry about. To say Shaymah went above and beyond is an understatement. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any couple in search of a wedding coordinator who truly understands the intricacies and emotions behind a wedding. Thank you, Shaymah Ansari, for making our day genuinely magical!

Hello, Lovebirds! My name is Max! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! At Wedworkflow Videography, I believe that every love story deserves to be cherished for a lifetime. Your wedding day is a treasure trove of emotions, and I am committed to capturing those fleeting moments in the most authentic and unobtrusive way possible. Whether it’s the tears of joy in your eyes, the laughter shared with loved ones, or the heartfelt vows exchanged, we will be there to immortalize every precious instant. I am thrilled to be a part of your love story!

Max was nothing short of amazing right from the beginning. I wanted a videographer- my husband didn't want the extra cost. I had already reached out to Max, but when my husband said no, Max was kind and understanding and not pushy or salesy. I ended up overriding my husband last minute, as I was afraid I'd regret not having video, and thankfully Max still had our date available! He ALWAYS responded quicker than almost all of my other vendors, and was so easy to work with! Our big day came, and Max worked so seamlessly with every other vendor. He captured EVERYTHING I wanted and more. He got amazing behind the scenes shots, all of the little details, and every emotion of the day. We just got all of our footage, and it brought both my husband and I to tears. Max captured so much more than I realized, we were truly able to relive our big day. His editing is EXCEPTIONAL and seriously better than I ever could have imagined, he really blew our minds. My husband is now thankful I went ahead and booked video- my ONLY regret is that I didn't have Max stay for the full (or most of the) reception, and he left after our first dance, cake and speeches. He seamlessly put together the most amazing highlight video that captured every important moment and blended everything together so well and chose the perfect song for the background. I debated on asking him to use our song for the background music, but I am so glad I left everything fully up to him to piece together at his discretion. You seriously cannot go wrong with him, and I very highly doubt you'll find a better videographer in central PA. I honestly cannot thank Max enough for capturing our day the way he did, and for the amount of time, thought and skill he puts into his passion of videography.

Rob Jinks Photography

  • Serves Columbia, MD

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

When my husband and I began looking for photographers, we looked at many different photographers portfolios and Rob’s stuck out the most. The way he was able to capture couples weddings from start to finish in such a way that told the story was truly amazing. When we spoke with Rob and found out his pricing, my husband and I were a bit hesitant to spend so much on a wedding photographer, but I can say without a doubt that out of every vendor we booked for our wedding, Rob is the one who was worth every single penny. He truly was able to capture our wedding day in a way that brought us tears of joy. If we had to do our entire wedding over again he’d be the first on our list to book! From talking before the booking process to the photo reveal, it was such a smooth process and he made the whole thing feel magical. If you can, book Rob because he will absolutely do what you want and more!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

My goal is to make sure every video I create represents you as the couple exactly as you are and tells the story of your day in a way that preserves the emotion and memories for years to come. I love to work with people from all walks of life and am inclusive of every type of love story. As I grow in my art and in my business, I find myself leaning more and more toward authenticity. During your day, I want to capture your true selves, therefore I do very little posing or staging. I will gently guide you during couples portraits, or point you toward the best light, but other than that, I strive to be as unobstrusive as possible.

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

We are so happy with our wedding photos and experience with Barbora Jones photography! From her website and portfolio alone, we knew that Barbora would be a top choice to capture our special day. But after our consultation call, we knew she was THE choice. She was personable and shared so many early tips with us, including for our timeline and potential photo locations throughout our venue. Leading up to the wedding, she would check in with us regularly and helped us identify the moments, items, and locations that were most important to us to capture. At the rehearsal and wedding day, she arrived early and blended in seamlessly with our party – making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, while also capturing beautiful candid moments as well. We are so grateful for Barbora’s brilliant, detail-oriented, and creative eye, and we will treasure our wedding photos forever. As we embark on other major moments and milestones in our life, we will definitely be giving Barbora a call!

I specialize in capturing the real, candid moments during your wedding day. My approach is all about blending seamlessly into your event. Clients often describe me as calm, cool, and personable. While I take a variety of photos, I stay in the background, moving fluidly throughout the day. My goal is to preserve those fleeting moments, often capturing details you might not have noticed in the excitement of the day. My role also is to make your day stress-free. Whether it's helping direct family for portraits or keeping things running smoothly, I'll be by your side to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

Hi, I’m Trina! A fine art style wedding photographer based in Washington D.C. My passion for the art of photography runs deep.

Rooted in the art of idyllic narration, my work captures your love story through a lens that mixes elegance, sophistication, and modernism with a twinge of romantic nostalgia. At the heart of Verdandi is a love affair with nuance, empathy, and impactful photographic composition. Let’s create a beautiful work of art together!

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a small and simple wedding but wanted some good pictures. William was very professional, and the pictures are amazing! They absolutely capture the day just as we remember it. The online gallery is very easy to use and William delivered us the pictures very quickly.
