I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Working with Portraits By Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise. The team of two photographers and a videographer was amazing, capturing so many special moments that will forever stay with us from our wedding day. We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

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.

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.

Love captured with passion, edge, and color, It’s an honor when anyone hires me If you’re looking for actual artwork from your wedding, I’m ya girl. 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 LOVED working with her!!!

The documentary edit of our ceremony captured subtle exchanges so well a glance here, a smile there. They were patient with last-minute changes and kind to everyone involved. The color work is lovely and doesn’t scream trendy, which I love. We received both digital files and a premium album and everything was packaged beautifully.

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.

From our very first phone call, Rachel just got it. She was so down-to-earth and easy to talk to—it felt like chatting with a friend I’d known for years. She really listened to what was important to us, especially how much we wanted to capture the real, candid moments with our family and kids. That was a huge priority for us, and she completely nailed it. I felt seen and understood, which made the whole process so much more relaxed and fun. On the day of the wedding, Rachel was a total rockstar. She showed up with the best energy, kept everything moving smoothly, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. Every single shot we hoped for—she got it. And the candids? Literal magic. The best surprise were the polaroids and the sneak peek book she created and shared during the reception – seeing the photos in real time made us so excited for the actual photos. We’ve looked through our gallery a hundred times and still find new favorite moments every time. One of the best decisions we made was adding on her content creator option—it was SO worth it & Jade captured the best moments of the night, set them to music and within a day we had a reel to share with our loved ones. Rachel and her team captured the very best moments that day all while allowing us to have fun and be ourselves. I am also impressed by how quickly everything was delivered – her communication is flawless, and I feel like I blinked, and I was looking at my photos. The turnaround time was so much faster than I expected, and the quality was beyond what I had hoped for. I am forever grateful that Rachel was a part of our wedding day!

On our wedding day, Jocelyn and her team was more than photographers but a calming presence, helping us stay relaxed while ensuring every special moment was captured beautifully. The mix of candid shots, artistic portraits, and intimate details perfectly told the story of our day. It was a surprise to receive a sneak peak the morning after our wedding. I highly recommended hiring Jocelyn for your wedding.

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.

We are obsessed with our photos. He truly captured how our special day felt, not just how it looked, which was very important to us. You can hear and feel the joy and laughter in the photos! Lee did an incredible job of making my husband and I, who are not natural photo takers, feel completely comfortable. We would absolutely recommend Weddings By Lee Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable wedding photographer.

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.

Ciana is hands down the only person I trust to capture my special moments. She has photographed/filmed our engagement, wedding, adventure shoots, anniversary shoot, and most recently our pregnancy announcement. When you invite Ciana into your life, you gain not only an incredibly skilled individual, but a person who truly holds your hearts and best interests close. She also has an amazing second, Ryan, who we absolutely adore, and brings another creative mind to the table to capture every idea to its fullest. LOVE LOVE LOVE everything they have ever done for us
