If I could give above a 5 star review, I would. Kelyn, with Timeless Video, brought the energy you want on your wedding day. We felt so supported and comfortable having her be a part of our day. Hiring Timeless and having Kelyn was hands down one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day. From our very first conversation, she was very warm and professional. On the day itself, she felt more like friends than a vendor. Ultimate hype person and made sure every special moment was captured beautifully. The final video blew us away. The way they pieced together the emotions, laughter, tears and every little in between moment was honestly magical. You always hope you can relive your wedding day with footage and we sure did! Our family and friends haven't stopped raving about how incredible Kelyn was and how our footage turned out--also how much of a BLAST she had during Greek dancing! We would book with Timeless 1,000 times over. Thank you for making our day so special!

The quality of their work was simply perfect - the photos are timeless and truly magical. Carlton played a huge part in making our wedding day memorable. He was so easy to work with, very professional, and even helped me stay calm when things weren't going as planned. Carlton arrived on time and ready to create magic, and that's exactly what he did. We are in love with our photos and will cherish them for years to come. A big thank you again to CMJ Photography for all they did to make our day so special.

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.

Choosing Justin as our wedding photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made for our big day. He arrived early and immediately put us at ease with his easygoing and friendly attitude. Justin was incredibly efficient throughout the event—he captured all of the moments we requested plus so many more we hadn’t even thought of. Not only did he make sure to photograph us as a couple, but he also paid close attention to our guests, ensuring everyone was included in the memories. The sheer number of photos and the variety of angles he provided honestly made it seem like there were two photographers working instead of just one. We were blown away by how quickly Justin delivered our photos. Within just four days of our wedding, he sent us a stunning first look gallery of 300 photos. Justin was by far the best vendor we worked with—extremely responsive and attentive to detail. We can’t thank him enough for his hard work and the beautiful photographs we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond, look no further than Justin!

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! She got a ton of wonderful shots and some unique ones of us and our families as well. 10/10 I would recommend her to EVERYONE!

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 were initially drawn to Jasmine's work on Instagram for our engagement photoshoot, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the outset, Jasmine took the time to understand our vision and review the Pinterest board I shared with her. Through thoughtful exchanges via email, she ensured every detail was accounted for. On the day of the shoot, Jasmine's warmth and professionalism immediately put us at ease. Her patience was remarkable as she listened attentively to our ideas, seamlessly incorporating them into the session. Constantly referring to our shared vision board, she ensured no pose or concept was overlooked. The speed at which we received our breathtaking photos was impressive, as was their sheer beauty. Naturally, we knew we had to entrust Jasmine with capturing our wedding day. Leading up to the event, her consistent communication and unwavering patience reassured us every step of the way. On the wedding day itself, Jasmine's level of dedication remained unwavering. Her ability to understand and execute our specific vision left us feeling confident and at ease. Once again, the turnaround time for our wedding photos was remarkable, and the results were nothing short of stunning. We are thrilled to have found Jasmine and eagerly anticipate her documenting our future family milestones. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine to anyone seeking an exceptional photographer. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients shine through in every shot.

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

I focus on the moments that truly matter—the fleeting glances, quiet embraces, and joyful celebrations—so you can not only see your wedding day, but feel it all over again. If you’re looking for a photographer who offers more than just images—someone who brings genuine energy, thoughtful artistry, and an elevated experience from start to finish—then I’d be honored to create with you.

Bekky is the BEST of the best. I am so happy we had her by our side not just on our wedding day but truly through the entire planning process. During our engagement shoot she gave us EXACTLY the vibe that I envisioned, and she captured exactly how our relationship felt at that moment. And she is the ultimate hype girl! She exudes happiness & enthusiasm. Through the planning process she went above & beyond to give me a photographer’s perspective on wedding day details. Our wedding day with her was also a dream. She again captured the emotion & happiness exactly as it felt and her photos are just stunning. She got all the shots I asked for, but also so many other shots & moments that I didn’t expect and that we treasure so much. And again, the ultimate hype girl, her energy is unmatched. Finally, she got our photos back to us in record time and THEN even sent us photo keepsakes & a flash drive of all the photos. She is the absolute best.

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.

I'm an award-winning photographer with a passion for crafting lifelong memories from fleeting moments. My calling is to weave together each smile, laugh, and tear into a joyful narrative, walking alongside you to help make your special day extraordinary. I offer a flexible, hourly rate so that exceptional photography can be within the reach of any budget. Every couple receives full copyright ownership of every beautifully edited photo in a stunning digital album for unlimited lifetime downloading, sharing, and printing. And every booking six hours or longer comes with a free engagement session!

We absolutley love Brenden! He did our engagement and wedding photos. From the first meeting he was friendly, warm, and professional. 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! Overall, when looking for a photographer we learned that personality is as important as competence. With Brenden, you get both! We absolutely would recommend all of our friends to use his services.

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.

Rachel did our engagement AND wedding/elopement photos!! My original engagement photo photographer stood us up as we arrived at the site... Rachel was recommended by a friend of mine, and she showed up ON SITE in about an hour!! She even recommended a yummy spot to get a bite to eat while we waited! ...when our wedding had to be downgraded to an elopement, our choice was EASY!! We love Rachel! She is FANTASTIC! She's extremely personable...and hilarious!! We plan to use her for ANY photo opportunity that we may have in the future.

Hey there, my name is Tia! I'm 27 years old and living in Baltimore, and I've been documenting love stories for the last 9 years. I truly believe I have the best job in the world. In addition to photog, my other loves include dancing, 70s + 80s rock, cooking, anything involving my family and friends, my cat Goose, and watching reality dating shows.

Alison and I met Tia when she photographed our friends’ wedding in 2024. We were both in the wedding party, and right away we were blown away by how talented and professional she was. Not long after their wedding, the sneak peeks came out — and they were absolutely breathtaking. So when we got engaged later that year, there was no question who we wanted as our photographer. Even though we’ve only worked with Tia in a professional setting, she has a way of connecting with you on such a personal level that it feels like you’ve known her for years. She’s warm, genuine, and makes you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. I have a big family, and we were a little nervous about getting all the photos done before the ceremony. Tia showed up completely prepared — she had her shot list on her phone mounted to her camera — and somehow managed to keep everything organized and right on schedule. We love her shooting style. It’s natural, candid, and focused on capturing real moments rather than overly posed photos. Of course, we did a few of those, but the candid shots are what truly stand out — the ones where you forget the camera’s even there. Everyone says the photographer is one of the most important vendors for your wedding, and I couldn’t agree more. Tia was absolutely incredible, and we can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Tia, for capturing our day so beautifully and for being such a joy to work with!

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. If he's available, book him right away!

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!

Mandi was an absolute DREAM to work with! From the moment we first spoke, her enthusiastic, passionate, and caring approach put us at ease. On the day of the wedding (and during our engagement session), Mandi kept everything so fun & professional. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera as this was both our first time working with a photographer!! Even though it was her first time at our venue, the quality of her work shows. She is simply incredible, and her work is so picturesque! Mandi truly shot the most stunning photos that captured the most special moments of our big day! We are so lucky to have worked with Chesapeake Charm Photography and we can't wait to see the full gallery-- we know the images will be treasured memories for a lifetime! I can’t say enough good things. If you’re able, work with Mandi!!!

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!
