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 amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

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.

Bekky is the BEST of the best. I am so happy we had her by our side not just on our wedding day but truly through the entire planning process. During our engagement shoot she gave us EXACTLY the vibe that I envisioned, and she captured exactly how our relationship felt at that moment. And she is the ultimate hype girl! She exudes happiness & enthusiasm. Through the planning process she went above & beyond to give me a photographer’s perspective on wedding day details. Our wedding day with her was also a dream. She again captured the emotion & happiness exactly as it felt and her photos are just stunning. She got all the shots I asked for, but also so many other shots & moments that I didn’t expect and that we treasure so much. And again, the ultimate hype girl, her energy is unmatched. Finally, she got our photos back to us in record time and THEN even sent us photo keepsakes & a flash drive of all the photos. She is the absolute best. I could not be more grateful for Bekky, her talent, and how she forever captured our wedding for us. Hire her immediately!!

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 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • 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

  • Fine art style

  • 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!!

Lindsay and Nathan were absolutely fantastic! We are not naturally photogenic people, but they made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. From start to finish, they were a dream to work with — super easy to get in touch with and always responded right away. We got 100 sneak peeks the very next day, which completely blew us away — and every single photo was stunning. Our friends and family can’t believe the incredible shots they captured and how organized and calm they were throughout the day. They truly handled everything on the wedding day and took so much stress off of us. We didn’t have to worry about a thing — they kept everything running smoothly and made the whole experience enjoyable. It was also such a huge plus that they handle both photography and videography! Our engagement session with Lindsay was also such a great experience and made us feel even more comfortable leading up to the wedding.

I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos.

My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

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.

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.

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.

I believe you should be present on your wedding day, not rushing through a timeline just to check boxes. That's why our goal is to provide our couples with a photography experience that allows you to be fully present so that you can truly have the time of your life celebrating with your people, laugh your way through pictures, and dance the night away with your best friends. In the end, your wedding images should be a direct reflection of the memories you made, not moments that were forced.

Meghan Elizabeth Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day! Meghan's was super helpful with everything throughout the planning process. She made sure we were all on the same page regarding the timeline and locations. On the big day, Meghan brought a fantastic energy and kept everything running smoothly so my husband and I could truly be present. Her photography style resulted in gorgeous, natural, effortless photos that we will treasure forever. Meghan created a seamless timeline and helped our day flow from one special moment to the next. She guided us gently while allowing us to stay grounded in each special moment. The value of working with Meghan was fantastic - she brought out the best in us and captured it beautifully on film!
