The Best Photojournalistic Wedding Photographers in Emmitsburg, MD

I'm Steph, the photographer behind The Valentin Collective and a firm believer that the best moments usually happen in between the planned ones, when you're fully present and everything real unfolds naturally.

Hi! I’m Trevaughn Smith (he/him), a published queer wedding & portrait photographer based in the DC, Maryland & Virginia area. I’ve made it my life’s work to become a visual storyteller for couples who value authenticity, individuality, and non-traditional love stories. I’m great at blending into the background and capturing honest, unscripted moments – the kind that reflect your real connection. Whether you’re exchanging vows on an LGBTQ+-owned farm, having a small gathering at a Michelin-star restaurant, or celebrating love at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, I’ll be there to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

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!

My adventure in photography began as a kid with my brightly Fisher-Price 110 camera. It had the coolest flash cubes! I shot countless rolls of film around our family farm. My mother has albums full of prints to prove it! I’ve shot photos in a variety of settings and venues and usually make my clients feel comfortable by quoting Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute and a good dose of self deprecating humor.

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

After years of family portraits and children portraits, I’ve dipped my toes in the waters of wedding and elopement photography. I love capturing love, your story and the message of love still exists in such a tumultuous world. Love makes other cry, laugh and smile in the joy of what your celebrating. Of all these things, put on love…..My approach is simple. I’m there for you. That’s it. -ana

Born and raised in Maryland, I’m a creative wedding photographer. A lotta years back I jacked in my safe, noble, health insurance-providing job working with grieving families to follow a little dream I had. I wanted to take pictures. Pictures so beautiful they make people do a little cry. So that’s what I did. I also managed to bring two spirited boys into the world. That means I live a completely outnumbered existence with two males in the house but don’t worry, I’m on top of it. Being a mother is awesome and terrifying in equal measure but I don’t let it define me. Lots of people can be mothers: few can be awesome wedding photographers.

You deserve to be the guest of honor, not the director. I bring a "project manager brain" and a photographer’s heart to every story I am in charge of preserving. By day, I’m a professional problem solver meaning while you’re soaking in the moment, I’m managing the timeline and handling the logistics behind the scenes. My approach is rooted in calm, presence, and an unhurried flow that lets you be unmistakably you. Expect true-to-color, timeless imagery and a partner who values your comfort as much as the final gallery. If you’re prioritizing presence over a production, I’d be honored to help you navigate your day.

Journalistic style photography based in Western Maryland- but I go wherever you go! I started photographing weddings back in 2021 and since I am a big ole softy for love, I obviously fell in love with it. I like to stay pretty laid back during the day, candid photography is my jam.
