  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

Hi, I’m Jen El-Haddad, owner and lead photographer of Jennifer Mary Collective — a dual-city photography brand based in Baltimore, MD and Charleston, SC. I specialize in wedding and branding photography that celebrates connection, color, and storytelling. My love for photography started young — with a Polaroid sticker camera and a stack of disposable film rolls. What began as a childhood obsession grew into a lifelong passion for capturing emotion and artistry in every frame. I’m a curly-headed, Old Bay-loving, caffeine-dependent Marylander with a soft spot for Southern charm (and a colorful Lilly Pulitzer print or two).

Jen was fantastic to work with. Her expertise really helped us in planning our wedding photos. The photos were beautiful and we were extremely happy with her guidance and professionalism

Hello! My name is Rebekah and my approach is intentional and heartfelt. I focus on the moments that truly matter, the fleeting glances, quiet embraces, and joyful celebrations so you can not only see your wedding day, but feel it all over again. If you’re looking for a photographer who offers more than just images, someone who brings genuine energy, thoughtful artistry, and an elevated experience from start to finish then I’d be honored to create with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
As Jeff and I were planning our wedding, I knew having a great photographer was one of the highest priorities--your wedding day seriously goes by in such a flash, and the photos are one of the only things you have to remember it by. When I found Bekky, I fell in love with her style and knew she was the photographer for us. Not only is she so talented, but she is so incredibly kind, funny and helpful! We had such a fun time laughing along with her during our sessions. I love how versatile her style is; she can do soft and dreamy, timeless and classy grayscale, modern journalistic, and traditional portraits. She is an incredible value--she took sooo many amazing photos for both our engagement session and our wedding, and she also threw in a couple of incredibly sweet and thoughtful surprises. My husband and I will spend hours looking at the photos she took for us, and we have absolutely zero regrets with choosing Lyn Leland Photography. She seriously will go above and beyond for you; I will always use her for any future photography needs! Thank you soooo much Bekky, you are the absolute greatest of all time!

Silver Orchard Creative is led by Christine Baumgarten, a Maryland-based wedding photographer serving Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and select East Coast destinations. Christine photographs couples who value emotional storytelling, refined aesthetics, and a calm, supportive experience. Her work blends romantic, film-inspired imagery with true-to-life color and a balance of editorial portraits and candid moments. She is deeply involved throughout the planning process, offering guidance on timelines, lighting, and flow so couples can feel confident, present, and fully supported on their wedding day.

We hired Christine of Silver Orchard Creative for our engagement and wedding photography in 2022 and our experience with her was an absolute dream from day one. From our initial consultation to our wedding day, she was beyond helpful, professional, and supportive. Choosing her was one of the best and most important decisions we made during our entire planning process. We were nervous going into our engagement session since we had never taken professional photos before, but Christine instantly made us feel comfortable. She taught us all the best angles, poses, dips, and twirls and turned the whole experience into something fun and memorable. Those photos are still some of our favorites. When our wedding day arrived, Christine brought such a calming presence. As soon as she walked in, I felt collected and at ease. She kept us organized and on time while capturing every special moment along the way. She offered timeline guidance, shared helpful suggestions throughout the planning process, and truly went above and beyond in every way. Looking back at our gallery, we are reminded not just of how the day looked, but how it felt, and that is something we will always treasure. Christine became so much more than our wedding photographer. She became our “life” photographer. After our engagement and wedding photos, we knew we would return to her again and again. Now, in 2026, we are thrilled to be scheduling a family session with her as we begin our next chapter as parents. It feels so special to have the same person who captured the start of our marriage now helping us document this new season of life. We cannot thank you enough, Christine!

I blend digital, film, and Super 8 to create images that feel timeless and full of emotion — a balance of editorial artistry and genuine storytelling. My passion for photography began with a Polaroid camera as a child, a love for art, fashion, and history. I’ve grown into a lifelong love of preserving memories that become heirlooms. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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. She went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, even when our wedding planner dropped the ball on a couple of things. Her warm personality and incredible skill behind the lens make her an invaluable asset for any couple's special day.

Heyoooo, I'm Lindsay, a laid-back, artsy, candid-style photographer. Through my mastery of candid photography, my shoots capture you and your partner doing things, interacting, and not posing; which creates more dynamic and interesting images. AND bonus, it makes the process a million times more enjoyable and less awkward - so much so that sometimes people forget they are having their photo taken. STYLE: candid. artsy. natural. capture emotion. ME: queer. female. tinkerer. gamer. pickleballer. wino. laughs a lot.

Ginger Fox Photography was truly the best choice for our wedding photos. From the moment we first spoke, their communication style was clear, friendly, and high energy - we could tell they were excited to capture our special day. And the quality of their work was incredible, with candid, emotional, and breathtaking shots that made us look and feel our absolute best. Lindsay brought such great energy everywhere she went, which put us at ease and kept any self-conscious feelings at bay. We are over the moon with the final photos - they are creative, emotional, and capture all the magic of our wedding day. We couldn't recommend Ginger Fox Photography more highly!

Aleyna Rentz Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

Wedding photography shouldn't be an investment. When trying to book my own wedding photographer, I noticed that pages listing costs were never called "prices," never "rates" -- always "investment," a word that brings to mind loans, savings, risk. A house is an investment. A car is an investment. Photos of your wedding day? Those should be a given. I became a wedding photographer because I believe beautiful photos should be accessible for all couples. That's why I charge by the hour--so you can build a package that works for you.

Truly there are not enough nice things to say about Aleyna!!!! First of all, I really appreciated how transparent her prices were. It's all there on zola and her website. Nothing hidden or sneaky or added on later - her prices are not only exactly as advertised but criminally reasonable. When it comes to something like an engagement shoot (which is what we hired Aleyna for), she was able to capture the ideal balance between staying true to her own style as a photographer and achieving the vision we had in mind for our photos. She met us at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore and it felt both like a professional photo shoot and like a fun afternoon at my favorite museum. She followed us around, chatted with us, and captured a ridiculous amount of high-quality photos. And the photos... the photos!!!!! Seriously they came out like artwork! When I first looked at them I felt like I should be looking at them in the museum! She gave us so many perfect, stunning photos that were even better than the Pinterest board I showed her. Originally I planned on selecting a few stand out photos from the shoot and keeping the rest digital, but she did such a fabulous amazing show-stopping incredible job that I plan on making them into a photo book and using it as a guest book for the wedding. My Maid of Honor is using them as decor for the bridal shower. They're all over the website. People who see them GASP! TL;DR I am obsessed with the photos that Aleyna gave me and going forward will be hiring her anytime I need a photographer (don't mind me just googling excuses to hire a photographer). Please book Aleyna immediately and never look back!!!!!!!!

Shutter & Sound

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Mindy & Angel shot my wedding earlier this year and I cannot recommend Forever Yours Photography enough! Shot list; 110% completed plus more. They were absolutely amazing. They were fluffing my dress, tying my shoes throughout the night, offering extra photo opportunities when they saw them and even made our dinner plates from the buffet. They were kind, so much fun and such an added bonus to my wedding day. Their vibe was exceptional and my guests are still raving about how much they loved my photographers. My photos are epic and more than I could have ever hoped for. If you’re skeptical, just book them. You WILL NOT regret it!

Khadim Baluch Photography

  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

I'm a Baltimore-based fine art and documentary photographer trained at the International Center of Photography, with international exhibitions and published work behind me. I bring that background to weddings: nostalgic tones, cinematic light, and emotion-driven storytelling. I'll capture the moments you'll remember most, including the ones that happen in between the planned ones.

I have been following Khadim since his vsco days and when it was finally time to book a photographer for our engagement photos I knew it had to be him. From the very beginning, he was extremely communicative, flexible, and helpful in the planning aspect of our photoshoot. We had experienced a string of inclement weather on the weekends where we were all free, but he always held our best inerest in mind to ensuring we had got the photos we were looking for. Khadim surveyed us on where we wanted to take the photos, researched the area, and gave us additional suggestions based on the information we had provided. We were able to visit the restaurant where my fiancé and I had our first date. He even had the attention to detail to utilize some of the backdrops knowing that our wedding would be in the Philippines and tied in with a tropical theme. We also visited several murals throughout the city that we would not have known about without his help. When we were taking photos, there was an equal mix of poses we wanted to do as well as his own recommendations that would ultimately look better than what we were thinking of. His patience and guidance was truly appreciated seeing as this was our first time doing a photoshoot at all. Khadim was extremely transparent when it came to his availability and turn around time to produce the end results. We have since shared them with our close friends and family. Needless to say, we’re all over the moon with how they turned out. We owe all our thanks to him.

Madison is soooo talented!! We first worked with Madison for our engagement shoot. It was our first time doing a professional photoshoot and she was able to make us feel comfortable and calm during the shoot. She shot our engagement shoot on film and it was beautiful. We loved working with Madison so much that we wanted her for our traditional tea ceremony and our wedding day. During our tea ceremony she was familiar with the culture and she offered to help when things were hectic. She was super professional and I loved how the photos turned out! Madison also did our wedding day and from the beginning she was on time, very professional, and kind. I gave her my Pinterest inspiration board and she was fully able to execute all my inspirations and more! During my wedding she was able to keep us on track of time and communicate to everyone. She even helped pin my veil when it was falling off or offered to hold my train. We also got our photo preview back the day after our wedding and WOW we were blown away. The photos really captured such a beautiful day and the raw emotions. I would 1000% recommend Madison to all of our family and friends. She is so professional and her work is beautiful!!

It was such a pleasure to have Grace as our photographer throughout this wedding journey. We had her shoot our engagement photos (which we loved!) in addition to our wedding. She was very communicative. From the very beginning, she was clear on pricing. She would always work with my schedule when setting up meetings to go over timelines. She even went over every photo with me after the engagement shoot to make sure that we’re all exactly what I was envisioning. On our wedding day she literally went above and beyond for us as well. She brought an assistant with her, as well as some great props and florals to be used in the photos. She did an amazing job sticking with my detailed timeline, getting photos at every location I wanted on property, and did a great job corralling our families during cocktail hour and giving firm and efficient directions so we could get the pictures quickly and they could get back to the fun. She is very knowledgeable about lighting and posing. Thank you so much Grace!

She has worked as a wedding photographer for many years, providing exceptional service and stunning collection for each couple. Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashlee exceeded all of our expectations! We chose her as our wedding photographer, and she was absolutely amazing. Her style perfectly matched what we were looking for. She is wonderful to collaborate with and delivers photos promptly every time. We also worked with her for our engagement photos and a fall mini session, and each experience was just as great. I am consistently impressed with her pricing, quality of work, and communication. I highly recommend Ashlee!

HI, I AM FARISS the photographer, Speaks 4 languages (English, French, Arabic, and a little Spanish), the guy behind Fariss Photography. Based in Fairfax County VA, work in the DMV Area -- DC, Virginia, Maryland. I have a passion for taking beautiful, natural, professional photos, and enjoy helping people look their best in front of the camera, capturing that perfect, special moment, and creating a memory that will last a lifetime.

Fariss is honestly the most easy going photographer I have dealt with. He makes the whole process so easy and natural even for those who are usually uncomfortable taking pictures. He fully respects the special moments and does a great job getting candid shots without getting in your way. At the same time he is super knowledgeable about helping you pose correctly afterwards. He captured some of the most unique shots I have seen and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We would recommend Farris to anyone looking to take pictures of the special moments in their lives

Magic Hour Portraits

At Magic Hour Portraits, we believe your wedding day isn’t a production to be directed—it’s a story to be felt. We don't do stiff, awkward posing. Instead, we focus on the quiet, unposed, and cinematic moments that happen naturally: the way your partner looks at you when they think no one is watching, the shared laughs, and the raw, romantic energy of your day. We capture the magic of your honest connection so that when you look back at your photos, you don't just remember what you looked like—you remember exactly how you felt.

We are very happy with our wedding photos. Our gallery turned out great and our day-of shooter was great to work with. However, the communication between ourselves and Magic Hour was not what we would have liked. Just over a week before our wedding, we met with Robert over zoom, we went over our timeline, shots that we wanted and our expectations for him on our wedding day. On the Monday before our wedding, just 5 days before, we were notified through a perfunctory email who our day of photographer would be. I immediately reached out to Robert who informed me "To address your concerns, Magic Hour Portraits has other talented photographers who provide photography services from time to time based on scheduling". This left us scrambling 5 days before communicating with an entirely new photographer. The change in photographers had not been communicated in any way with us beyond the perfunctory email less than a week before the wedding. While things did work out, and we love the photos we were given, the lack of communication on the photographer change added stress to an already stressful week.
