We had such a great experience with our photography and videography team! We worked with two photographers, Evelyn & Geneva, and one videographer, Bogdan. All three were incredibly professional, kind, and patient—especially when it came to wrangling our families for group shots. From the very beginning, the communication was thoughtful and organized. We had initial and week-of calls with Evelyn and Bogdan, which helped align our vision and made us feel confident going into the day. We sent Evelyn ideas and poses we liked beforehand, and she was able to recreate many of them throughout the day. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we’re so excited to see our wedding video as well!!

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.

Rachel was AMAZING to work with. As a more "feminine-presenting" WLW couple, we were very intentional of finding a photographer who could pose us well together in a romantic style. Rachel went the distance! She was so thoughtful and intentional with our time together and went above and beyond to create and capture beautiful moments. Rachel also collaborated so well with our videographer so that the both of them could capture so many moments together throughout the day. We are beyond happy that we went with her for our photography and now have these beautiful memories to share!

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based right in Baltimore, MD. Originally from Greece. There is nothing that makes me happier than capturing laughter, love, and connections. I believe that everything happens for a reason

Awarded Best of Zola
After meeting dozens of photographers, scrolling hundreds of portfolios, and feeling like all wedding photographers were the same, I saw Margarita at a wedding expo booth. Her display photos were nothing I had ever seen from a wedding photographer before...an artistic voice. Scroll her work and you'll be relieved to find someone who captures raw, real emotion and doesn't rely on 50 filters and over saturation in her work. Her prices were incredibly reasonable so we booked her immediately. After talking with us, she suggested we do our engagement shoot at a brewery/arcade which we had never been to and now we go every week! Props to her Baltimore city knowledge and ability to read us to find one of our favorite places that has significant meaning More importantly, when we got our photos back, we were floored. Neither my partner nor I really like our photos taken but we loved the photos and how we looked. She brought out the models in us with such ease because the whole time you work with her it feels like your with a friend who just happens to have a camera. It all felt natural and genuine and you can see it in the photos. The wedding was the same thing - just a laidback feeling between my spouse, Margarita, and me just hanging out. Yes, she can shoot a camera. Yes, she can edit photos. Yes, she can properly read light and stage photos. All necessary skills of a photographer but her real skill is making connections with her clients and capturing genuine emotions and moments. She'll set your mind at ease so you can be present with your partner to enjoy your day then she'll deliver you hundreds of breathtaking photos. Book her, you won't regret it.

Couples love how we make them feel at ease, photographing natural, radiant moments without forcing anything. We've been on weddingW*iRe + theK*not and are new to Zola! TONS of reviews over there! To us, photography isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about preserving the emotions and details that will matter for generations.

Maggie and Patrick did such an amazing job! Maggie indeed leads with “grace and authority” and quickly poses big groups (even the people that aren’t that into it). We had so much fun getting to know them and appreciate the extra effort they put into meetings to plan our timeline for the day. They are the nicest people and added so much energy to a very long day. Maggie even went the extra step and made sure that the table numbers were facing the door and helped me place decor. They both have a great eye for detail. We are in love with our photos and are so happy with their services!

Layla was my absolute favorite vendor to work with for our wedding. She is a ray of sunshine with an upbeat, welcoming, and fun personality. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, pick her! My husband and I got married in August at Woodberry Kitchen. We hired Layla for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and wedding day. For our engagement photos, I was nervous to be in front of the camera, but she made us feel comfortable, made us laugh and got beautiful shots! It was awesome to have her for the rehearsal dinner, she took great photos of us and our guests. On our wedding day she was the best!

We hired Bekky for our September 2025 wedding, and I am so happy we did! She always got back to us right away, was very professional while having a very personable attitude, more than fair pricing, and she made it easy for us! We wanted a more candid portfolio , and less focused on posed-portraits since my husband and I aren't used to being in front of a camera. She delivered exactly what we wanted, and our portraits turned out amazing! She got compliments to us from our guests for her friendly, confidence-boosting attitude and they LOVED the photos! She could not have done a better job, and I highly recommend anyone looking for a personable, highly talented photographer to book her ASAP!!!

You should just stop reading this and book Nicole for your wedding now. Her ability to create warm, authentic photography that truly captures the moment is unmatched. Not only is she a gifted photographer, but she truly gets it when it comes to the day of the wedding.

Nicole knows what she is doing and has got your back from beginning to end. And you will end up with the most amazing photography to remember your wedding day.

I appreciated his style, specifically his use of color (warm and cool colors), while my wife appreciated his ability to capture emotions and special moments. We also appreciated his ability to direct guests with a calm, confident, and friendly approach. A few of our guests even commented that they appreciated his direction--confident but polite and respectful, whereas other wedding photographers were "too type A" for them. Brenden made everyone feel at ease, which shows in the photos and our video. Bonus points because he recognized half the songs on our playlist!

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!

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.

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.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer that will go above and beyond, Sam is your man. He was so much more than a photographer. We cared most about the small, beautiful, candid moments people share with one another on a wedding day and Sam captured all of it. He has a magical way of capturing emotions and making everything seem like it is in motion. We had a small family wedding and Sam immersed himself into the day and our families. It was so wonderful. He did the work of three photographers and I'm still not sure how he accomplished it all! More than that, he was there for every little thing we needed. Extra bluetooth speaker? Sam was on it. Hep with boutonnieres? Sam was on it. The photos made us cry and captured the day perfectly. I am so grateful we were one of the few wedding Sam photographed in 2025.

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!

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.

Brea and her team are absolute geniuses at what they do! Brea made us feel so comfortable during our most intimate photo shoots (engagement and first look), and was extremely efficient getting all of our family and friend photos together. The candids are the best part. Brea and her team have a way of capturing moments like no other wedding photographer I've ever seen. We are aboslultely in love with our wedding photos--and the best part--we received the full album less than a month after the wedding! Brea is extremely kind, professional, creative, and very good at what she does. We are so pleased to have had the chance to work with Brea!
