  • Starts at $4,200

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. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We love working with Justin! He really captures the people and the feeling of the moment. Justin has the perfect eye for the "WOW" grande shots. And he can quietly see the special emotional moments happening during an event that no one else sees. When I see his album, it takes me back to the moment when the wedding is happening. The images are so powerful and beautiful. As a planner, we appreciate Justin handling his part. We never have to worry if Justin is going to take too long or take away the couple to do photos and not able to enjoy their wedding. We know that when Justin is on the job, we can focus our energy on other things. He works efficient and we have had some great fun with him. We trust him completely with our clients.

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 nothing short of amazing! We have professional photos taken almost never so we were nervous on how to act in front of the camera for our wedding day. It was a BREEZE with Brittany! When we said goodbye at the end of the reception we told her just how natural everything felt with her throughout the day. We were able to meet her via an hour long zoom call prior to booking and she was very thorough in explaining the whole Brittany Dunbar Photography experience. We chose the package with 8 hours of coverage, two shooters and engagement photoshoot. We were able to customize this and had Brittany photograph our welcome event instead of the engagement shoot. But she still had dinner with us months before our wedding and did a mini photoshoot with us. So great! Brittany is professional, personable, nice, creative, inclusive and organized. She's got this business down to a science. We could trust her with any wedding advice even outside of photography. Her vibrant yet dark and moody style matched our wedding aesthetic perfectly. Our lighting tech mistakenly used the wrong color lighting for our reception and Brittany was able to edit this for us! We especially love the platform she uses for wedding albums. Incredibly easy to view and share with loved ones. Wishing nothing but the best for Brittany!

We hired Josh for our first family photo session with our 6 month old. I tried to look at many galleries of different photographers before deciding on Josh. His work looked so natural and effortless. We had a great time working with him and needless to say the pictures came out wonderful. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Honestly one of the many memorable moments of our wedding were the moments we shared with Lee our photographer! The final pictures were stunning and captured all the moments Brian and I wanted. On top of that, Lee was there to calm my nerves! The smiles and the waves he’d give us assured me I was in good hands. The bridal party and guests loved him! He included a portable photo booth (not those giant ones that were in the way) which had the options for gifs or regular photos and were sent directly to our guests phones! Everyone loved it!! Lee is fun, timely, organized, determined and focused to get the best shot and supports his brides and grooms! He is the best and highly recommend Lee!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

From start to finish, Sam provided a wonderful experience as our wedding photographer. He is very approachable, making us feel comfortable right away and like he really knew us as a couple. Communication leading up to our wedding was perfect, not too much, not too little.. it was just right. Then they day of, he was timely, quick, and just blended in with the entire event wonderfully. I received so many comments from my bridal party and guests on “what a fun guy he is!” And then the final product that was delivered was ahmazing! I still love looking at our photos that documented our special day.

I'm Aimee Nguyễn. I’m a sarcastic 28 year old who loves to travel, cook, and snuggle with her cat. I have been photographing all kinds of love since 2017. My main goal on your wedding day is to capture your love and day authentic to you while making you feel comfy and stress-free. I take a lot of my inspiration from dope cinematography and my couples. I want to create visual poetry that speaks to your heart and soul, celebrating all the joy and happiness that surrounds you on your wedding day. My albums are meant to speak to your heart, not just the highlights.

Words simply cannot describe how in AWE I am of these photos. Aside from exchanging vows getting pictures to capture our love and the love of all our closest friends and family was most important to me on our wedding day. My husband and I cannot stop looking them and cannot wait to share them with everyone we love. Not only did she artfully capture our personalities and love on this day but she also captured the love between our favorite humans on the dance floor that night. They aren’t just pictures but true pieces of art with gorgeous lighting, angles and details captured perfectly! 10/10 recommend to all!

  • Photojournalistic style

When I’m not photographing weddings, I am a rock climber, scuba diver, glass blower (#breablowsglass on instagram), ukulele, guitar, and guitarlele player, world traveler, and cat mom to Sherlock (sherlocknessmonster on instagram). During the winter, I teach a video class at the Sheffield Institute of the Recording Arts and I love having a positive impact on my students. Everything I love to do challenges me personally and makes me a stronger person. I feel the most alive when I feel connected to this beautiful planet and the people on it.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé mentioned offhand that he knew a really great wedding photographer before we were even engaged. I started following her on Instagram and went down a rabbit hole on her blog, and I was instantly obsessed with her. I could tell that we had a lot in common, and I immediately wanted to make her my friend in addition to being our photographer. Her talent simply blows me away. I love that her photos capture moments in time and really make you feel something when you look at them. They aren't overly posed, and that's what I really wanted for our wedding photography. We had such a good time doing our engagement photos. Brea is just fun and easy to talk to. She never makes you feel awkward or uncomfortable, and we were just able to relax and have a good time.....and it shows in our photos. We love them so much. She was also super helpful leading up to the wedding when I had random questions about veil lengths and vendor recommendations. Then she even fit us in right before the holidays to do a quick mini session with our dog for Christmas card photos. The day of the wedding, Brea was so much fun to be around while I was getting ready. My fiancé and brother had a great time hanging out with her second shooter, Jim, and Brea's mom was an absolute gem, helping out with family photos, holding my bouquet, and making sure I didn't get my dress dirty before the ceremony. They worked so well with our dog, too, who can get a little noisy! We got so many compliments from our guests about Brea’s whole team–how awesome Brea and Jim were and how wonderful Brea’s mom was running our photobooth (which was also a huge hit that we highly recommend!) Brea’s team stayed until our wedding ended at 10 PM, and she still sent us sneak peek photos that night!!! We got our full gallery yesterday, and the photos are amazing. We love every single one of them. I’m honestly not even sure how they got some of the shots they did–they truly were like silent ninjas during the ceremony–but every single one of the photos makes me smile. There are not enough words or space to express how awesome Brea and her team are. Just do yourself a favor and book her the next time you need a photographer, but especially for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

We hired Tia for our maternity photos and we absolutely love how they came out. I am not someone who normally feels comfortable in front of a camera but Tia made the experience really fun and easy. She gave plenty of direction and made us at both feel at ease. She was very professional and punctual but also warm and talkative which I think is the perfect combination for someone capturing special moments in your life. These are pictures we are going to treasure for years to come.

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

Awarded Best of Zola
My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.

I am a Baltimore based wedding and engagement photographer, known for my vibrant wedding photos with an authentic, candid style. I work with couples who are laid back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying time with family and friends, not spending half the day posing for stiff, awkward photos.

As a videographer, I have worked with Morgan many times, and each time I find out she is the photographer for the day, I breathe a sigh of relief. Her work is excellent, and she does such a great job directing her couples to give them the best photographs. She communicates well and takes the time to make sure couples get everything they need. She is not only professional when it comes to her clients; she works seamlessly alongside all the vendors at the event. You will not go wrong with hiring her. She's amazing!

Your wedding day is that rare occasion where all your friends and family gather together and your ceremony is the reason for it all. After all the food is eaten, the cake is cut, the toasts are cried & laughed over and the flawless dance moves are danced, all you have left are your photos. Your wedding experience is so much more than just booking and filling out paperwork, it's preserving your memories to be relived through photographs, it's help with planning to ensure your wedding vision is brought to life, it's your vendors working as a team to give you the day you have dreamed of, its capturing the details you put thought and love into.

We had a fantastic experience with Alicia, who was recommended to us by our day-of coordinator. As a photographer myself, I knew what to look for in a photographer. She was so much fun, approachable, easy to work with, offered so much guidance as far as wardrobe and posing for our engagement shoot (included in our package) and made us feel so at ease at our wedding. We can see ourselves booking her again for future portrait sessions!

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800

I drink an absurd amount of tea and I make videos occasionally. I adore art museums and dabble on the ukulele. My entire life, I’ve loved sharing my perspective; illustrating life as I saw it and taking photos of things I thought may be overlooked. And I even wrote a journal entry at the age of 7 stating I would someday be an artist. In a black and white composition notebook, I poorly scribbled the words: “I don’t want to be famous, but I want people to want my art.”

Nessa is an incredible photographer who is easy to work with and produces phenomenal photographs. She was happy to adapt her style to the vibe of our day (but still keep her trademark "Nessa-ness"). We wanted a photographer who wouldn't be imposing on the day and who would capture the story our wedding rather than just take a lot of clean cut portraits. That being said, the portraits we did take were also stunning, so if that's what you want, just let her know! She's great at both, just tends towards more journalistic. I plan on using Nessa again when we had kids or just need a fabulous photographer.

We are a Baltimore based wedding photography business with an incredible passion for life and love, and here at Clapp Studios we specialize in documenting the emotional moments that add meaning to our customers and their families lives. Beautiful photographs are emotional moments frozen in time for you to remember and revisit with family, friends, or a quiet moment alone - and whether in here in Maryland or at a destination miles away, we strive to create images that will be cherished for generations

Our original wedding plans changed due to the Pandemic and we had no idea what each day would bring, regarding alternate plans. However, we wanted a marriage more than anything (not just a wedding). So we stayed in contact with Mr. Clapp and he remained open to (re) scheduling and accommodating our needs. He kept my nerves at bay by reassuring me that everything would still work out. He took the time to answer all of my questions, even the repeated ones. He answered phone calls, texts, and emails within minutes. The day of the service he was on time and prepared. We had major technical difficulties and delays due to the virtual set up, but he was beyond patient and hung in there with us til the end. During the mania of it all he never made us feel like we were infringing upon his time. The pictures turned out AH-MAAAZING!!! When the complete photo album came, within a week or two, it brought me to tears. The photos were just that beautiful. Mr. Clapp has a gift of capturing every nuance and every emotion. If you want fun, professionalism, variety in poses, ease and comfort on your big day, Mr. Clapp is a sure pick! It truly was like working with family and we are so grateful to him.

I am a mom, a sister, & a daughter. I am a pet lover. I am a crazy sports fan . I love laughing! Some of my most favorite moments revolve around laughing uncontrollably with my siblings. My son is my heart. Oh, and I am a photographer. I LOVE to take pictures. It fills my soul. It is my spirituality. It keeps me grounded and lets me fly. What I love even more, is when something that I've taken touches another. I feel as though I see the world a little differently than most. I am, at heart, an optimist and I truly enjoy finding the beauty in everything. If I can help someone else see that beauty, then my job is done.

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. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
professional photographer who exceeded our expectations and captured the best moments on our special day. Nina worked with us a few months prior to find the right areas and timing for the day. She was easy to communicate with and made our elopement planning process a breeze. Nina was professional, friendly, and snapped some truly stunning shots that we will treasure for a lifetime. Our shoot was in two parts: our wedding shoot at the Library of Congress and the tea ceremony at our parent’s house. She captured all the candid and genuine moments not only with us but with our family and friends who traveled. She made us feel comfortable and loved throughout the day. Our photos came back sooner than we anticipated, all very high quality shots! We highly recommend Nina for anyone looking for a talented and experienced wedding photographer in the Washington D.C. area. Her photos are a work of art!

I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

In every regard, Cesario was a delight to work with. He was prompt from the very first email contact. We exchanged several ideas, he guided us along the way. Cesario worked with us in every aspect, was really flexible and easygoing. We had a semi pop-up wedding with very loosely laid out plans.. and he made everything cohesive and organized. I loved the direction he gave us in front of the camera also. I think all the guests felt really comfortable with him. Even though we were in no rush, we got our photos back within days!! Incredible. Loved our memories that were captured by Cesario! Highly recommend!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We were blown away by the work that Pnce Like a Spark did. I was nervous having not met the videographer or photographer before the wedding, but I had nothing to be nervous about! Daniel and Jeremy were incredible, kind, funny, and helped us feel comfortable and relaxed. Their personalities were amazing and we just got our photos and they came out beautifully. Thank you for all the work and ease with everything!

Thank you for visiting & CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!! We are based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area but travel all over for weddings. Our furthest yet was Vermont! Our bright, colorful & crisp photography style provides our clients with timeless images that will be forever cherished.When I am not working, I enjoy drinking wine, trying new breweries, traveling to the New Jersey shore with my husband & family, watching Harry Potter for the millionth time, & cuddling with our three adopted dogs.

Awarded Best of Zola
Seriously... book her NOW! Get comfortable, because this is going to be a long one - Before I begin, let me just prepare you for a ton of synonyms because there just simply aren't enough words to describe how utterly amazing Andrea Krout Photograhy is. Do you want stunning, bright, high quality, breathtaking photos? Do you want a photographer who makes you feel like you've been best friends your whole life? Not a best friend who will just tell you what you want to hear - an actual, true friend who makes sure you look good and puts you in poses she knows work for YOU? Do you want professionalism? Thorough communication? To laugh your entire session and never have to worry whether or not she got "the shot?" Of course you do - who doesn't? That's why your search ends here. With Andrea, you get all of these things... and more! I started the hunt for a photographer when we got engaged in 2019. I somehow landed on Andrea's Facebook and instantly LOVED her style. After reading the bio on her website, I sent an inquiry and almost immediately received the nicest response that didn't simply give me pricing options - oh, no. The first paragraph was just Andrea being so excited for me and asking all the details - how he proposed, how long have we been together, what do we love doing together? And I was sold. I never even inquired with another photographer because I knew this is the person I wanted documenting the most important day(s) of our lives. So, naturally, the world came to a stop right before our planned dinner date to get to know each other (how sweet is she?!) and instead "met" over a Zoom meeting. We discussed that we would be postponing to [this] year. Three hours and one bottle of wine later, we figured out the details for her to come shoot our "mini-mony" wedding on our original date. That day comes and my family couldn't stop talking about how much they adored her! Honestly, she will make you feel like she has known you and your family forever. Okay, I'm probably losing you here so fast forward to our real wedding last weekend and as things go, we got a little bit behind in makeup so Andrea (and her AMAZING second-shooter Rachel) were already at the venue getting the groom shots, details shots, etc. I get there, I'm stressed, not entirely confident in my last-minute coordinator supplied by my venue, and there's Andrea ready to greet me with a huge hug, smile and all the reassuring words a bride needs to hear. Instant relief. When I tell you that Andrea (and Rachel <3) went ABOVE AND BEYOND their job description, I whole-heartedly mean it. She literally bustled my dress and helped me get in/out when I needed to pee. Without this girl, my day would have been unbelievably chaotic and frankly, a mess, but she truly saved it. She will not only photograph your day and produce those breathtaking photos (which she 10000% did because I already got my sneak peeks), but she will be your shoulder to lean on because she truly cares about her brides and loves what she does. I hope this entirely long novel of a review is enough to convince you that Andrea Krout Photography is the right choice, but if not, look at the other stellar reviews and her portfolio because her work speaks for itself. Andrea and Rachel - I could never thank you enough for everything you did and giving us the most incredible photos that I haven't been able to stop looking at. Forever indebted to you!

Capturing the real unforgettable moment on your wedding day is a privilege I take very seriously. I will be there to support you through the entire wedding process and then fist pump along side you on the dance floor. My main goal is to provide you with an incredible experience. A quick background about me, I am a born and raised Maryland girl. I am married to the love of my life, we have two beautiful daughters and two sweet pups! When I'm not photographing I'm usually paddle boarding, cooking, or going to amusement parks with my family. I cannot wait to capture your most precious memories that will last a life time!

I’m so happy I hired Jessi as my wedding photographer. We have gorgeous pictures where we look happy and natural. Jessi takes the time to talk with you prior to your shoots to get a feel for what you’re looking for in your photos. One of the best parts is before your wedding day, you fill out a form telling her what you want including names of people to have in photos so you don’t miss anything during the chaos of the big day. She’s wonderful, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and captures beautiful moments. I love the lighting she uses so that it’s not overly one style (such as dark and moody vs. light and airy). She just goes off the best lighting available in the photo and makes everything gorgeous. You’ll be blown away by her talents!

We call Pennsylvania home but travel all over to photograph couples in love. When not behind the camera or working on the computer, we enjoy cocktails, coffee, cats, and hiking with our toddler, Brooklyn.

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah Brookhart. From the day I started following her a few years ago, I knew I wanted to work with her, and the first time we talked, I knew I was right all those years ago! Sarah is the definition of expert. From the way she makes you feel like you can tackle the wedding planning process to feeling comfortable in front of the camera, she was crucial every step of the way. But now, the real reason she's incredible is her work. Her photography has a way of capturing moments I've never seen another photographer capture. She captures the real, raw love. Not staged moments. Almost every photo she delivered to us, from our engagement to our wedding, made me cry. And on the day of the wedding, she was an absolute dream to work with. She kept everyone organized and moving along and made sure I got the exact photos I wanted. She even spotted a rainbow outside and ran in to grab us for a quick photo. She is always thinking about her couples and putting them first, and it shows throughout the entire process. Her husband Ryan is also awesome, and was even our officiant! He was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and was a great buddy to the guys during the wedding day. And the best part, he knows when to get out of the photo for the first kiss: rockstar officiant! My husband and I can't recommend Sarah enough, and everyone that sees our photos asks who took them and we are SO excited to say SARAH BROOKHART! Seriously brides, if you want an amazing, reliable vendor that takes the most incredible and meaningful photos EVER, Sarah is your girl!

Once I got to meet Steph I realized that she is just as wonderful as her photos! Steph is everything you want and need for your wedding day. She’s truly an expert of her craft - not just the photography but all the logistics that come with a wedding day. Steph made sure I got into my dress on time, kept the rest of our vendors on schedule, told me when I needed to reapply lipgloss, just all around making my life easier. In addition to her efficiency, Steph seemed as excited for our wedding day as our friends and family. She is the ultimate hype woman and brought so much joy and energy to our day! I knew when I saw Steph’s galleries that I loved how she captured candid, emotional photos that were full of real life. I didn’t realize how good that would feel the day of my wedding.

I’ll be eternally grateful for Steph and the precious memories she captured.

Just gonna start this off by saying... KYLEE IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST!! From the beginning of wedding planning, my husband(who before meeting Kylee was a little nervous and shy about the whole "photoshoot" thing) and I wanted someone relaxing yet energized, fun, unique and colorful. Someone who would highlight the special parts of us and our relationship! Someone who would help us to remember this chapter of our lives in the most beautiful way. Kylee is literally those things!! She was up for anything we wanted to do at our engagement session(sharing apps and beers) or on our wedding day(burying the bourbon and no first look), never making us feel rushed or like an inconvenience! She laughed with us throughout the process and always gave advice when I asked, even if it had nothing to do with photography or weddings, LOL. I can happily say I went into this looking for a wedding vendor and ended the wedding phase of our life with a friend who we will go to take bad-a** and beautiful pictures of the big moments in our life. P.S. A great added bonus was our friends and family loved her too!

Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your wedding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

Darcy was a pleasure to work with! She was so accommodating and informative throughout the process. I did a lot of our wedding planning at the last minute and I have never had professional photos done so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but Darcy walked me through the wedding day and made sure that we had a clear plan. She was also very patient with all of my last minute changes to the schedule.

We had a wonderful experience with Sharon Natoli as our wedding photographer. She is extremely talented and brought her extensive photojournalism experience, professionalism, and positive energy to capture our wedding day. She handled a rainy outdoor ceremony situation with ease, taking the weather as an opportunity for some unique and memorable shots. She also stuck with us after the reception as the sun came out to catch some incredible light soaked moments. Throughout the day, she was amazing with our guests, keeping things moving swiftly so folks didn't get too cold, and helping some of the more camera-shy (including me, the bride) feel at ease. I love that she took the time to meet with us beforehand and get to know us, learn more about our family and guests, understand our style preferences, as well as offer some expert advice on how the day could go. She also walked us through the final photos and gave us some behind the scenes technical insight which was a really nice way to revisit the day. It's clear she is passionate about photography and loves what she does. Her enthusiasm is contagious and we're so glad she was the one to photograph our day. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos and highly recommend Sharon Natoli to any DC/Maryland area couples!

Most importantly, I’m here for you! That might mean directing your family and keeping everything under control. My goal is to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

Konrad was incredibly pleasant and easy to work with from start to finish. He was communicative and followed up as we got closer to the wedding. The day of he helped put both of us at ease, helping both my husband and I feel comfortable and get photos that felt like us. Truly made something that felt stressful into something fun and relaxing. Initially when I got the photos from all my friends, I was asking myself why we hired a professional photographer, but once I saw the pictures Konrad sent over, I did not ask myself that question again. I have never loved myself in so many pictures, he really captured the two of us and the entire day in a way that I couldn’t have imagined.

So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most of which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer.

From the very first wedding that Jess and I worked together, I knew I had found "the one." Photographing alongside other artists typically comes with some growing pains, however working with Jess was effortless from the beginning. She has a talent, creative eye, and sensitivity that is unparalleled. Her ability to create beautiful images while gracefully navigating complex dynamics and stressful moments on a wedding day makes her a magician in my eyes. I continue to learn something from her every time we're together. Highly recommend.

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

Hiring Alice as our wedding photographer was one of our best planning decisions we made! From our first call with her we knew she fit our personalities so well and would capture the emotions and colors of a traditional Indian wedding better than anyone else could. She was by my side every step of the way on the wedding day and truly made the day brighter with her smile and capturing my quirky personality! I cannot wait to work with her again.

Creative, modern photographers based out of Philadelphia. Drew and Angela are fun, relaxed and experienced. You can trust us to capture all the fun and emotional moments as well as epic portraits with ease.

Angela and Drew are the BOMB! They are husband and wife, and clearly gaga for each other, which is very very cute. They have tons of experience, so they deliver consistently amazing images. They are extremely professional, and respond quickly. And no two photos look just like any other photos. Their creativity and eye for moments will pay off years down the road when you look back at your wedding photos and smile at how each moment can transport you back to the feeling at that exact time on the day, and then you have all this gorgeous artistic and creative stuff to relish in for decades! Can’t go wrong with picking them. For real!

I mix editorial and documentary style photography for a wedding gallery that feels nostalgic and luxurious. I am here to make the never-shot-before-couple look like they belong in a magazine spread and I will capture candid, living, details and moments on your wedding day that will bring you back to that first touch time and time again. We offer wedding photography and super 8 films.

Booking with Brittany was one the best choices for my husband and I for our wedding and engagement photos. From the beginning, Brittany was very attentive and truly got to know us as a couple. She is so talented at finding the best/creative poses and making you feel comfortable during the process. The editing style of her photos create such a dreamy and moody vibe that look timeless. I am so thankful we got to know Brittany, she is such a caring and friendly person. I will always recommend her to everyone looking to get their photos taken. We are so looking forward to booking with Brittany in the future!

Hi! I'm Emily, and I'm new here on Zola. I established EG Photography in 2016 with the goal of capturing my clients' stories in meaningful ways. This is my full-time business, which means you can rest assured that I am absolutely focused on meeting your expectations day in and day out!

Awarded Best of Zola
We always enjoy working with Emily. She's professional, discreet, had fair pricing and works well with other vendors. It can be hard to find good vendors in a saturated market. If our 22 years of experience in the industry carries any weight, Emily is one of the folks we'd trust with our own wedding!

Lusby, MD

  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

While documenting your wedding day, I prioritize your unique humanness, capturing the genuine and candid moments in front of me. I am not the photographer who meticulously curates images for a perfect social feed in the name of going viral. The images I am passionate about creating tell your unique story and leave you with moments turned heirlooms.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mary photographed our micro wedding on a Friday afternoon and was amazing. We had a very small ceremony and she managed to get a great range of shots given the small space. She was so friendly and calming to work with, and we are so grateful she got to capture our big day!

Having your memories documented is truly one of the most important things. When we look back on our lives we are the sum of our experiences and being able to share that journey with your present and future family is such a gift.

We are so so grateful to Vicki and her work. She is kind, professional, easy going, and has a keen eye for both detail and lens work. Vicki has a generosity of spirit and a calm demeanor, both of which helped us when we ran into snafus during the day. Plus she laughed at my jokes - win-win. Extremely pleased with how our pictures have turned out - and I’ve only seen the previews yet! I can’t wait to see the final results. She captured the exact vibe we wanted, helped us feel at ease, and even capture amazing shots of our kids. We’ll cherish these for a lifetime. Thanks for being so stellar!!

We’re Matt & Melanie! Living in our first house in Annapolis, MD, we spend our days working & our nights obsessing over our little furr babies-Olive & Willow. We fell in love at the young age of 18 & have been spending 24/7 together since. Our favorite days are when we can adventure to a new city or road-trip to a different state. We like to wander & try new coffee shops & cool restaurants. We like cuddling & watching tv on lazy days. Our style is definitely retro with lots of cozy & casual & little minimal. Our favorite weddings are the ones that are a little laid back & intimate with sentimental moments.

We are the Cashmans were outstanding! They have photographed two events for us and the quality of their work was incredible. Incredibly nice and friendly! They do a great job taking the time to understand what works best for you and then deliver it! Very happy we were able to work with them!
