Hi there! I’m Sharon! I am a long-time professional photographer, a former award-winning photojournalist, and an official photographer for the Canadian Embassy. I love photographing weddings and I provide beautiful, bold, and romantic images for my couples to treasure forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sharon! From our very first meeting, she demonstrated an incredible attention to detail and thoroughness that put my anxious bride-heart at ease. Together, we created a detailed shot list with us beforehand, scouted our venue for the best photo opportunities, and somehow managed to capture every meaningful moment of our special. Her mastery of natural lighting was absolutely magical. The venue had challenging lighting, but Sharon brought everything we needed to capture all skin tones! Even at the reception, she knew exactly how to work with the existing light to create warm, flattering portraits that made everyone look their absolute best. What truly sets her apart is her tenacity to get "the shot." The final gallery exceeded our wildest expectations - a perfect blend of posed portraits, candid emotional moments, and artistic detail shots that tell the complete story of our wedding day. And here's the sweetest bonus - she made us cookies! She showed up to our final gallery reveal with chocolate chip cookies and gifted us with several photos done on metal. Talk about going above and beyond!

Matt Kolf - Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Dowell, MD

I studied Liberal Arts in Spain and my first love was painting, especially painters like Velazquez and Norman Rockwell. I love capturing happiness, elegance and human emotion in all its forms. My goal as a photographer isn't just to make beautiful images of the couple and their wedding day. It's also to create a selection of photos that faithfully reflect the personalities of family and friends of thw bride and groom so that, as time goes by, their wedding gallery becomes a sort of time capsule that they can come back to whenever they want to and see themselves and their loved ones as they were.

Matt Kolf - Photography was the absolute best choice for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, thorough, and client-centered. Matt and his team were kind, attentive, and always available to answer our questions and ensure we felt supported throughout the entire process. Their work was truly flawless - the photos are beautiful, creative, and professional, capturing every emotion and moment in its most raw and artistic form, but beautified. The colors, lighting, and feeling evoked in every photo are a dream come true. If you want a wedding album that captures the most candid, real moments of your day with the most creative and artistic lens, book Matt. Matt had a unique ability to be present and immersed in our day without ever feeling intrusive. He allowed us to direct the shots we wanted, but also knew exactly what to capture on his own. We didn't feel like our day was dominated by photo taking, but we know every important moment was beautifully documented, which is the perfect combination. Matt and his team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect, and we are thrilled with the stunning, documentary-style wedding album that perfectly reflects our special day. We have not stopped looking at each photo in awe, with every guest telling us how perfectly he captured the day. On top of all that, he is KIND, fun, caring, and extremely reliable. He truly goes above and beyond in being both a pleasure to be around and a flawless wedding vendor. He thinks of everything, and is extremely responsive throughout the whole process. Booking Matt was the best decision we made for our wedding. Do not look any further - book Matt and you will be making the greatest decision for your big day!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dowell, MD

Hi. I'm Teresa. While photography is a part-time job for me, documenting your stories doesn't ever get treated like it's not important. My full-time gig is teaching high school English and journalism at an all-boys school in Washington, DC. Journalism is my favorite subject to teach because it is as much about writing as it is about the art of observing the world, and I became a photographer because of my experiences in photojournalism.

From the moment we booked TCJ Design for our wedding photography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Teresa demonstrated clear, frequent communication and was a great listener throughout the entire process. Their work is simply beautiful, timeless, and captivating. For our engagement session, Teresa really delivered on our by the water/Maryland theme, capturing stunning shots that felt so true to us as a couple. On our wedding day, the TCJ Design team seamlessly documented every meaningful detail, delivering photos that are more beautiful than we could have imagined. We are so grateful to have these cherished memories to look back on for years to come.

Hi, I’m Amber, the photographer behind Amber Chole Photography. I’m passionate about capturing the moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours. I take pride in building personal connections with my clients, which allows me to photograph your story with intention, care, and heart. Every image I create is filled with thoughtfulness and passion, aiming to preserve the genuine emotions, laughter, and love that make your day unforgettable. I truly love what I do, and I’d be honored to help tell your story through beautiful, timeless images. Let’s make memories that will last a lifetime!

Aside from marrying my husband, choosing Amber as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding. LADIES- I know how stressful this decision can be. First, Amber as a person is incredibly positive, enthusiastic, and supportive — she never shoots down your ideas. She’s a kind and hardworking mom. As a professional, she takes her art very seriously. You can tell she thoughtfully tailors each shoot to match your preferred aesthetic and really curates to your vibe. Her editing style perfectly captured the colorful, romantic, boho look I envisioned. Her editing and photoshop skills are unmatched: she somehow makes you look and feel like the absolute best version of yourself. She executed every specific shot I wanted along so many creative ideas of her own. I fully trusted her. We could not be more thrilled with both our engagement shoot and our wedding gallery. I would recommend her to anyone looking for scenic, unique, vibrant photos that feel authentic and special. Hopefully one day we’ll get to work with her again for a maternity shoot!

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that.
