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
Justin is beyond amazing. He is a calming, fun, and professional presence all in one. Even outside of photography, he helps out wherever is needed. He literally fanned me while I slogged up stairs in my wedding heels and dress in 90 degree heat and humidity to get to our ceremony so that I didn't melt. He is also so on top of all of the details and the timeline. He makes everyone feel comfortable. To top it all off, he has an amazing eye for capturing beautiful moments and places. My pictures have come out more amazing than I could have ever imagined. I cannot recommend him as a photographer and human being enough.

Even before the wedding day Bhanu was thoughtful and intentional about making sure he would capture our story. Planning a wedding with mostly DIY elements to it, Bhanu was helpful in providing a suggested day-of timeline and also being accomodating on the actual wedding day. For the photography, he gave me and my husband plenty of time to naturally spend time together away from the crowd to take in the moment. He took both natural and guided poses to create a gallery of the most precious photos. As a lover of all art forms, I was especially appreciative of the natural photos of our wedding guests and the gorgeous sunset couple shoot we did as the evening drew to a close. I'm so grateful to Bhanu and feeling lucky to have come across his profile on Zola!

As a bride, I hoped for beautiful photos—but what I received went far beyond anything I imagined. They didn’t just capture how everything looked; they captured how everything felt—the nerves in my chest, the way my heart raced seeing him at the altar, the laughter, the love, the stillness in the chaos. Every image tells a part of the story I never want to forget, including the moments I was too overwhelmed to notice at the time.

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.

Amazing Wedding Photographer – Highly Recommend! Victoria is an absolute gem! From our very first meeting, it was clear she is passionate about her craft and genuinely cares about capturing the essence of your special day.

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

We truly don’t even know where to begin with how incredible Jasmine and her team were. From the very first conversation to the final goodbye on our wedding night, they were everything you could hope for in a photography team - calm, kind, organized, and unbelievably talented. On the wedding day, Jasmine had this effortless way of directing us that never felt stiff or staged. She somehow managed to make everything feel natural and fun, even during portraits (which we were nervous about going into). Her team blended into the background in the best way possible, capturing every candid moment without ever disrupting the flow of the day. Looking back at the photos, it genuinely feels like they bottled up the emotion of the entire wedding - the quiet in-between moments, the laughter, the happy tears, the energy on the dance floor. Every image feels alive and intentional, like a story we get to relive over and over again. They were also incredibly organized and on top of every detail, keeping things moving smoothly while somehow making it all feel completely stress-free for us. That balance of professionalism and warmth is rare, and they nailed it. We are beyond grateful we had Jasmine and her team with us. These aren’t just wedding photos—they’re memories we’ll have for the rest of our lives, captured better than we ever could have imagined.

Choosing Rachel & her team was one of the best decisions we made wedding planning! We hired her for our engagement photos, wedding day photos, as well as Super8 film coverage. If you’re reading this review, I’m sure you’ve seen her portfolio and her work is obviously stunning. She brings an authentic feel to all of her photos and is amazing at capturing the unplanned/ non staged moments. That being said, her and her team are also amazing about helping couples pose for those staged portraits. My husband and I are not the most natural in front of the camera and she immediately made us feel at ease and directed us in a way that still felt natural & true to us. If you’re considering adding on the Super8 film coverage- do it! We wanted video coverage of our wedding but we felt that many of the videography examples we were seeing by other providers were too produced and inauthentic. When I watched a sample of a Super8 film her team had done in the past and teared up watching strangers say I do, I knew her Super8 was the right direction for us. Our video means so much to us. It feels timeless and captures all of the emotions throughout the day. We watch it each month anniversary of our wedding and it never fails to make me tear up. I lastly want to share a lover letter to her and her entire team. They are incredibly kind, funny, and make you feel at ease immediately. I never felt uncomfortable or self conscious with them. We found ourselves laughing all day. Not only are they all incredibly talented, but they work so well together and radiate chill positivity. Moral of this story- you need to hire Rachel & her team. Period.

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!

Hi, I’m Gabbi! I’m a Maryland wedding photographer, wife to my high school sweetheart, and proud mom of two amazing girls. I believe your wedding day deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt—with genuine emotion, joyful moments, and timeless imagery. My goal is to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience where you can be fully present while I preserve every meaningful detail. From our first conversation to your final gallery, I’m here to make the process seamless and celebrate your story with photographs you’ll treasure for generations.

Gabbi is an absolute dream photographer! From our initial meeting, we knew she was the perfect fit. We were drawn to her "moody" yet elegant timeless style, which she captures beautifully in both color and black and white. For our wedding (with a black and white theme) and engagement shoot (in downtown Baltimore, capturing a romantic getaway vibe), Gabbi completely nailed our vision. She’s incredibly talented, professional, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The fact that our engagement session was included in her wedding package was a huge bonus! We got our sneak peeks back the next day and they are stunning. We can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery – we know it will be spectacular!

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.

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.

I'm Ciana, a documentary-style wedding and elopement photographer based along the East Coast, serving adventurous and experience-driven couples all over the world. Using film and digital mediums, I've developed a knack for chasing stories - the kind that are told through landscapes, reinvented traditions, fleeting glances, and wholesome conversations.

I don’t even know where to begin. Ciana is not only so sweet, kind, and personable, but she is also incredibly talented and creative. Her assistant Ryan is equally as great and fun and they make the most perfect team! Together they make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We have used them twice, yet it feels like we have known them forever. The first time was for our pregnancy announcement session. Ciana and Ryan literally braved the windy 35 degree weather with gusts up to 40mph with us to help us capture photos to announce this special time in our lives to friends & family. I was so worried the insane wind would ruin our photos, but Ciana reassured me that they would still turn out perfect despite the conditions and to trust her. I truly don’t know how she did it, because they turned out absolutely perfect and beautiful. She truly knows how to capture the raw and genuine moments between a couple. Her attention to detail and the depth she captures in her photos is incredible. And the second time we used her was for our gender reveal, where my husband and I found out the gender of our baby together with our close friends and family. Ciana and Ryan captured absolutely everything about the day that I truly dreamed of. These photos will be forever keepsakes and always hold a place in our hearts. It’s so special to know we will always have these to look back on and smile and reminisce over and to be able to share this incredibly joyful time with our son someday so he can see how we celebrated learning about his life. My husband and I could not recommend Ciana and Ryan enough. They are truly the best team and kindest people. They will not disappoint you at all and will only exceed your wildest expectations. We are already looking forward to our next shoot and to have them continue to be a part of our lives special milestones, big & small over the years the come. It just feels like saying thank you will never be enough, but thank you!!

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.

From start to finish, our experience with Lee was nothing short of amazing!!! When we first met Lee in 2019, he welcomed us into his studio with open arms and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. It quickly became apparent that Lee valued his relationship with us and that, for him, to truly capture the essence of our special day he wanted to understand our unique relationship. We shared a glass of delicious wine and talked for over an hour, reviewed some of his work, shared our vision of our wedding, and shared important details of our story together. My wife and I felt so comfortable with him, like we were already friends, and not just another client. I still remember the way I felt walking out of his studio that day. We knew right then and there that he was special and the right choice for us. Fast forward to 2020 and the world had suddenly and drastically changed. My wife and I were forced to postpone our wedding until the following year (November 2021). The experience was painful and frustrating, forcing us to make adjustments and sacrifices that were not part of our original plans. Throughout that entire time, Lee was there for us. He checked in on us, he invited us to hang out, he showed that he really cared. Lee went above and beyond for us for our engagement photos and traveled quite a long distance to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When we had a small "backyard BBQ" wedding in October 2020 for our official marriage (we didn't want to wait another year), out of the goodness of his heart, Lee volunteered to come shoot our day and help capture those precious moments with close family and bridal party. And, at long last, on our big wedding day in November 2021, Lee delivered amazing photographs and an unforgettable experience beyond our highest expectations! He brings extensive experience to the table and we were so impressed with how deftly he moved and how efficiently he operated throughout our wedding day. Lee is kind, funny, reliable, gentle, generous, polite, professional, fair, and he takes amazing photographs! Lee, thank you for choosing us and making our lives better and our wedding day the best it possibly could have been.

I'm a laid back, upbeat and silly (some might say incredibly funny, but whatever) person with a penchant for making everyone feel like an old friend. I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

If you are looking for a fun and talented photographer, then Rachel is a great choice! Rachel and I met the day of working a wedding together, where she was the photographer and my husband and I were the videographers. We all hit it off right away and captured the entire wedding day as a team, working together seamlessly even though we had just met. Why is this important for couples? Well, when your vendors work well together, you benefit! We were all looking out for each other throughout the day, helping to ensure that the photos and video were the best they could be for our couple. I would imagine that Rachel brings this same element of teamwork to every wedding she shoots. The pictures from the wedding day were awesome and Rachel was a delight to work with - hopefully we will be capturing many more weddings together!
