I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

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 was amazing to work with from beginning to end. He was responsive to our emails and was quick to set up a virtual meeting so that we could both meet and get to know each other. We could tell he understood our vision from the get go. During our micro wedding photoshoot, he arrived early and did a full scan of the location to make sure we got the most optimal lighting and angle. This was the first time my husband and I ever took photos together so Justin's jokes and guidance really helped us. He made us feel so comfortable during the photoshoot which showed in the final results; we have so many candid photos that we love! I would totally recommend him to anyone that is looking for a hard working and fun photographer!

Not only was he amazing, but his team was also incredible. We had one other photographer and 1 videographer along with Artur and they were such a fun and relaxing team to be around. My guests are still talking about how much they loved the photo/video team and how they felt like they were part of the party! Our photos are stunning and fit the exact vibe we were hoping to get.

A lifetime of memories can occur in a single day. After months, perhaps even years of planning, you deserve to remember your "best day yet" through vibrant and meaningful portraiture. That's what we want for you: A positive, "we totally nailed it," "I've gotta show everyone," photographic experience from start to finish!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have to give all the credit to my wife for starters. She found Rachel and had such a clear vision for what she wanted our photos to feel like. Rachel not only saw that vision, she elevated it in every way. From our engagement shoot at One Eyed Mikes in Fells Point, to our wedding day on May 3rd, Rachel brought her creativity, professionalism, and genuine care to every moment she captured. The engagement session was when I first realized we had something special, Rachel used light so intentionally and understood exactly what we were going for. The results were stunning, and it made booking her for the wedding an easy decision. Fortunately, the stars aligned, and we were lucky enough to have her shoot our wedding. On the wedding day, Rachel was phenomenal. She had scouted photo locations around Mt. Vernon, including a walk through Flower Mart. She knew exactly where to take us to make the most of our surroundings. We also captured moments at Hotel Revival, and her attention to detail made everything run so smoothly. She took the time to understand what we wanted and helped us feel comfortable and confident from beginning to end. We’ve already received a few sneak peeks, and they honestly left us speechless. Rachel captured us in a way that felt so true to who we are. One photo in particular stood out to me not because I looked good in it, but because she somehow captured the exact energy and emotion of the moment. That’s a gift. I can’t recommend Rachel enough. She matched our style, exceeded our expectations, and brought my wife’s vision to life in the most beautiful way. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly gets it, someone who listens, prepares, and delivers more than you hoped for, Rachel Dibs is the one.

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!

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!

Hey friends! My name is Mandi and I'm a Baltimore-born lover of traveling, kitty cats, and ice cream! I am the happiest girl in the world when I am by the water. Being outside enjoying the warm sun, feeling a cool breeze, and laughing with friends and family by the Chesapeake just make my heart sing! When I’m not busy working on beautiful weddings, I’m trying to motivate myself to go for a run or I’m curled up on the couch with my husband, my 3 cats & a true crime doc. You'll always find me decked out in bright colors, no matter what time of year! As a native Marylander, I love getting out and exploring more of my home state - and beyond!

There are not enough words to explain how amazing Mandi is!!!! You need to RUN and book her immediately!! From the first phone call and throughout the entire wedding planning process, she was so responsive, organized, and above and beyond helpful. Her pictures truly speak for themselves and I can’t even tell you how many strangers have reached out to tell me how beautiful the pictures are!! She also got them back to me in absolutely record time. On wedding day, I didn’t have a wedding planner, and she helped me put together a timeline and made sure everything went off without a hitch. She was soooo much fun to work with, was so laid back (while still being assertive and corralling our wedding party/family for pictures) and made sure everything was low-stress. Most people complain about their wedding portraits and how long it takes, but one of our favorite parts of the day was taking our portraits with Mandi and her second shooter (who was also so fun and fantastic). We are so, so happy Mandi was a part of one of the best days of our lives, and it wouldn’t have been the same without her!!

With work experience in event management, I understand the behind the scenes of weddings & I am fully equipped to deliver you fun AND professional service on your big day. I've captured weddings, engagements (hello crouching behind a tree to capture the proposal moment), and so much more. What I love about weddings is witnessing such happiness and love. I spend my time capturing the glances between couples, Grandma's smile, and your special details. If you want to see where attention to detail, professionalism, lightheartedness & sarcasm meet...let's chat!

I could go on and on and on about Tori! We recently booked her at the recommendation of a close friend who has used her for family photos and newborn shoots for our rehearsal dinner and it was the best decision. She was WONDERFUL! She took the perfect amount of candids and posed photos, she is wonderful with children, and the best part is we got the flawless photos back in under 2 weeks! It was the perfect way to come back from our honeymoon and relive all the moments from the evening. I will 1000% be booking Tori for any future photography needs and suggest you do the same.

Working with Naveed at DMV Nikkah was amazing. He was very polite and professional. He communicated throughout the entire time from the moment we inquired about his services until we obtained our photographs. He has provided assistant services who was very sweet and could help the bride if needed. The photos came out beautiful and sooner than expected! The Nikkah partition was beautiful as well. Naveed was knowledgeable about our photography location which was very helpful too! Overall I highly recommend Naveed and DMVNikkah.

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!

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.
