Sarandon Smith Photography

5.0

Baltimore, MD
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,336

I'm Sarandon (pronounced SU-RAN-DIN). I'm an artist and photographer in Baltimore, Maryland where I live with my husband, our daughter, and our Australian Shepherd pup. I have an affinity for houseplants, terrible movies, good whiskey, and dinner parties. On days off I like hunting for my next favorite bakery, perusing a museum, or gathering friends for dinner and cocktails.

Sarandon is a talented, professional, and easy to work with. Personally, as someone who hates getting their photos taken, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in front of the camera that Sarandon was working with. She made both my husband and I feel at ease, comfortable in front of the camera, and stress free on our big day. The photographs came out beautifully and on time. I would highly recommend Sarandon for your next wedding. :)

Shutter & Sound

5.0

Baltimore, MD
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

I believe in random acts of kindness, finding inspiration in the mundane, and saying "I love you" everyday. When I’m not behind the camera, or running around on Wedding Days, you can nearly always find me cuddling up with Poe, our 2 year old Boston Terrier. My husband and I are also huge travel enthusiasts. Between the two of us, we have experienced 45 States, 7 National Parks, and 13 Countries. We are always ready for our next adventure, and hold a special place in our hearts for the couples we get to experience beautiful new-to-us corners of the world!

We used Clear Sky Images for our engagement photos and wedding photos and she went above and beyond everything we could have ever dreamed of! She captured every moment so perfectly! She was quick to reply and listen to every idea we had. She was creative and directed us to get the best photographs during our wonderful day!

Aleyna Rentz Photography

5.0

Baltimore, MD
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $250

I’m Aleyna, a South Georgia native who’s been living in Baltimore for the past five years. I’ve always loved photography — in fact, I got my first 35mm camera when I was nine years old. I’ve since graduated from light leaks and lens smudges to DSLR and, now, mirrorless photography. Professionally, I’ve shot photos for the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, the Georgia Southern University Honors College, and for various weddings and events as a freelance photographer. My travel photos have been used widely across the internet, and I've been featured in an F-Stop Magazine group exhibition.

Working with Aleyna was so smooth. She's responsive, nice, and her work is gorgeous. My partner and I aren't good at posing for pictures but she was helpful in guiding us.

Philadelphia, PA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Essex, MD

Hi! I’m Ashley. I’m an artist and photographer working in Philadelphia. (And available for travel!) I’ve been shooting weddings since graduating with a degree in Photography from Drexel University in 2011. In 2015, I earned my MFA in Photography, Video & Related Media from the School of Visual Arts. After spending five years in New York City, building my art practice and teaching at the International Center of Photography, I moved back to Philadelphia ♥ to continue working with couples and families- capturing their most important moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley was amazing to work with. She met with me via Zoom and then again with both me and my now husband to ensure she knew exactly what we were looking for from a photographer. I explained that I really didn't want too many posed pictures since I thought they tended to look fake. Ashley listed to my wants, and incorporated that into the "posed" pictures we did take. She managed to ensure we still looked like we were alive even in the more stiff family shots. We had Ashely as our main photographer and Candice as our second shooter. Candice went with the gentlemen in the morning for their getting ready and captured all the fun and excitement. Between the two of them, they probably took over a thousand pictures. The final pictures were delivered through a secure website that was really easy to use and share with others. I am so glad I hired Ashley as my wedding photographer. It was one less thing I had to stress about on the day of, as she clearly knew what she was doing and how to take the best photos.

Booking Lindsay for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made! Her and her husband did such an outstanding job! Picking a great photographer was very important to me. I also wanted a second photographer, so I could have groom and groomsmen pictures getting ready and different angles throughout the day. Lindsay’s style worked perfectly for what we were looking for, and with our venue. She was very helpful throughout the day and kept things moving along! She got all the little details that I wanted! She even got the little ones to pose, which is no easy task! Our photos turned out better than I could have imagined! I highly recommend!!

Words can accurately express just how ecstatic we were to have Krista Brackin Photography as our wedding photography vendor. Krista herself was already booked on our wedding day, so we had Amanda, who is an associate photographer for Krista, photograph our wedding, while Krista handled the rest! We couldn’t have asked to have for a more genuine, kind, fun, and talented pair! From the minute we first connected, Krista was so knowledgeable organized, and speedy with responses! Her attention to detail is unparalleled and the final photos were better than we could have ever imagined - we’ve printed so many to hang around the house. Our entire wedding party commented on how comfortable they felt getting their photo taken, and just how efficient Amanda was at capturing them! If you are in search of a wedding photographer, reach out to Krista immediately!! It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would recommend her (and Amanda!) to everyone!

I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be. With me, your photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time. Truly, the honor is all mine. Thank you for considering me to document this luxuriously intimate wedding event.

Awarded Best of Zola
April and Mike are flat out awesome. We wanted our photos to capture the essence of our wedding day while looking timeless. They were able to deliver exactly what we had in mind and more! From our engagement shoot to the day of the wedding, April was IN. She wanted all the details, timelines, and specific shots or ideas we had for our photos. She loved to collaborate with us and really made us feel she had our best interests in mind. April and Mike made the shoots during the day of the wedding super easy. They knew what they wanted to shoot, where to get those shots, and what time we had to do them. They were able to make it fun for the entire wedding party and we got everything done well before cocktail hour. They are consummate professionals with an incredibly personal touch.

I'm an old soul with an excitement for life, adventure & travel. I have an incurable case of wanderlust. Yet I crave my warm cozy bed cuddled with the hubby, our son & our two fur babies. I'm a terrible singer and an even worse dancer...but that doesn't stop me. I'm attached to my phone but secretly love when it dies. I love food. Which is why my trip through Italy was documented with images of every meal I ate! I'm an overuser of smiley faces, the word "love" and exclamation points. I love surprises...sometime ask me about how the hubby proposed to me, it was a real shocker! But that's what I asked for.

Meghan was probably the easiest vendor to book and the easiest vendor to work with. She knows what she’s doing and goes above and beyond for her clients!

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Sam is a truly talented one of a kind artist, and yet you won’t find the kind of ego you’d expect to with someone like that. Instead he’s warm, accommodating and a true team player. My team LOVES working with the guy. That is all.

A Washington DC area (Maryland, Virginia) and destination wedding and lifestyle photographer. My approach to photography is extremely artistic, photojournalistic and arguably cinematic. With every shot I take I’m constantly thinking of new ways to creatively tell your story using unconventional techniques and unique angles, while creating that captivating feeling of presence when viewing your photos. My goal is to preserve your special moments by creating romantic, yet visually striking imagery to be enjoyed for years to come.

As a portrait photographer I had been following Kanayo’s work because it’s artistic, unique and different. I teased that I would get married again just to have him photograph it. Well he said do a vow renewal and sure enough that’s what we did. There was no question or shopping around for us, Kanayo would be our photographer. We made the right decision! His images are just amazing, and eveytime we look at them it’s like we are living in that exact space and time. He captured so much that tells our story, expressing the emotions, the joy and the love on that day. He goes above and beyond to get the shot, yet he is not intrusive. He is kind and very patient yet in control. He is a master photographer! I highly recommend Kanayo for your photographs. We were not disappointed and you won’t be either.

Someday, years from now, someone close to you will ask about your wedding day - someone that may not have been able to be there, or a new friend or family member who you have welcomed into your life. As you sit on your couch and reminisce while sipping on a cup of coffee, rather than just telling them about your wedding day - I want you to be able to show them. Photographs have an amazing ability to freeze special moments in time. I want to do that for you.

Julia took our engagement photos and as soon as the session was over we knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding as well. My husband and I aren’t really big photo-takers so I was worried that the photos would feel awkward or posed. This was not the case AT ALL! Julia truly has so much fun and her energy is contagious! She gives simple cues and the photos feel incredibly natural and candid. Everyone comments on how much our love really shines through in our photos and we couldn’t agree more!!

Hi I'm Maddy! I’m a Virginia native whose love of her camera took her on an adventure into entrepreneurship. I accidentally stumbled into wedding photography thanks to some family friends, and ended up leaving my career as a consultant to pursue my passion. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a perfectionist and a little bit Type A, but take pride in how that makes me into a great wedding photographer. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love the energy of a wedding day that keeps me on my toes. My attention to detail allows me to go above and beyond when it comes to helping you prepare and capturing your wedding day.

We absolutely loved working with Maddy! She was professional, talented, and made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoots. She truly nailed the sweet romance we were trying to achieve through our pictures. Our package also included an engagement session and the photos came out beautiful! We had an incredible selection to choose for our save the date and website photos. Maddy’s system is also so easy to use. She uploads all photos online and gives you the option to download into a Google Photos album so it makes sharing with friends and family incredibly simple. In the days leading up to our wedding, Maddy was organized and helpful, even prepared for the rainfall predicted for our wedding! The day turned out gorgeous and so did our pictures. We are so happy we chose Maddy to capture our big day and I know you will too!

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

Hi! I'm Katie, an East Coast & Destination Wedding Photographer, based in Washington D.C. After taking a high-school photography class–it quickly became clear that I loved the art of photography. Soon after graduating, I was offered an internship position near Chicago that allowed me to continue to dive into the world of studio lighting, image editing, and commercial photography; continuing to hone on the technical skills that often get left behind when you have the digital screen to instantly see your work. A few years later, I photographed a friends wedding and it became crystal clear that this was exactly what I wanted to pursue.

Oh my goodness! Kate Grace is the best wedding photographer in the game. I am SO glad we snagged her to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire process from booking to engagement shoot to COVID-19 wedding planning - Kate was there for us each step of the way. On my wedding day I was barely stressed because I knew Kate would capture every moment perfectly. She took every shot (and then some!!!) on my shot list and delivered THE MOST BEAUTIFUL gallery. Kate even worked with our videographer and sent them pictures for our wedding video. Kate is INCREDIBLE. Hire her. You WILL NOT regret it. As long as we are in the DC area, Kate is our photographer.

She has worked as a wedding photographer for many years, providing exceptional service and stunning collection for each couple. Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

Madison was our wedding photographer, and she did an engagement session for us as well. We are in disbelief that more people don't know about her because she's amazing! Obviously the quality of her photos are incredible (and she gave us 300 pictures within like 5 days of our wedding and there's 500 more coming)! But she's also just so personable- I feel like a lot of photographers are intimidating and make you feel awkward but Madison makes it fun, supports you, and is a genuinely nice person. I also have to mention that she did SO much more than photography at our wedding- she helped my husband and his groomsmen put on their bouts when they didn't come with pins, helped my mom sow my belt onto my dress after it ripped, rearranged our schedule to accommodate the weather and some crazy mishaps, and dealt with our family! We really couldn't recommend her more.

This is the part where we tell you: ‘we are strictly documentary style photographers’. Or that we only edit a certain way. Or that we only shoot under certain conditions. But we don’t work that way. We believe that a good photographer isn’t just documentary, or editorial, or candid. We believe a good photographer is ALL of those things, and knows how to read a room, an environment, and a moment to know how best to capture it. And that’s what we try to do. Capture every moment, to the best of our ability.

Having Luna Lion Photo Co at our wedding was one of the best wedding decisions we had made. Kayti put in the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding day shoot. We were nervous for the sessions as we tend to freeze up and become shy in front of a camera, however Kayti made the whole experience so intimate and fun! Our favorite and most memorable part of the wedding ended up being the photo sessions with Kayti! Kayti's vision is out of this world and if we had to pick again, we would choose her a million times again!

I enjoy capturing moments you’ll only experience once and making them last a lifetime. I believe every couple has a unique story that has to captured in the most beautiful and intricate way. That’s what I love the most about capturing love.

So far we have only done our engagement shoot because our wedding is still upcoming but Roland has been a dream to work with. He was easy to get in touch with, very accommodating with his rates, and very punctual with work. The day of our engagement shoot Roland was on time to the venue, he was well informed about venues for the shoots and during the shoot itself one of us was veryyyy sick but you would not know from the pictures because he takes the photos as his own and directs you accordingly for what will look good. And true to form, by the time the final pictures came out (which in itself was a very quick turnaround) - everyone loved them! I can't wait for the wedding day and to get those pictures back.

Hello! I am so glad you’re here! I am Mary Kate. I am a luxury fine art wedding and portrait photographer based in Memphis, TN, who specializes in destination weddings. I describe my style as romantically editorial, soft and timeless with a touch of adventure, while also commanding attention.

Mary Kate is a dream of a photographer we have all been looking for! Not only do her pictures reflect the light and ambiance of the particular venue, but she perfectly captures our personalities in each and every picture, too. My engagement session and wedding were so easy because she was knowledgeable about the venues beforehand and knew exactly where to take us that would capture and present the best lighting for each picture. She made our lives easy and our day beautiful! I could not recommend her enough!

I have studied fine art photography long before I ever started taking portraits of other people and shooting weddings. Fine art photography was my beginning, creating conceptual and authentic art that spoke to me and told my story was what I started with and then I started blurring that line between fine art and documentary. I started documenting other people and their lives in the same way that I created my own work intended for shows and galleries. That is how I came to the style that I shoot now, still blending the two parts of my life.

As a photojournalist, I’ve learned that a great photo is created when you anticipate what is going to happen. Just as important is understanding professional lighting. Combining both takes your picture from mediocre to extraordinary! Through my wedding photography, I provide each couple with a beautiful documentary of your very special day. Using a photojournalist approach, I capture the intimate moments throughout the day along with the personality of you and your guests to provide a rich pictorial and a life long memory of your wedding.

Steve is it for amazing photos! Steve and his staff are professional, punctual, and very friendly, not just to the bride and groom, but to our guests as well. He was wonderful about really hearing our requests and capturing the moments that meant the most to us. His dedication to getting the most beautiful shots possible brought us to a location for amazing portraits on the Potomac River. He was excellent - don’t think twice about booking!!

I am a fine art wedding photographer and wedding planner, wife, and mother to our three sweet babies! I first fell in love with photography at an early age. I became very inspired watching my father photograph weddings and capturing the authentic joy on his clients best day. It was then that I fell in love with the concept of love and knew what I wanted to do. I went on to film photography in high school and digital photography in college. After college I started a job as a party coordinator. I did this for years. Then, on blind faith started my own journey into the world of photography and wedding planning!

Heyyy! I'm Sam. I'm a slightly over-caffeinated creative soul who has made capturing love my passion. I love all things vintage and antique to chase that fuzzy nostalgic feeling <3 When I'm not glued to my camera or laptop- I'm spending all my time with my Husband and Son as well as our 2 dogs and cat. :) If you are interested in pricing/booking with me, please visit my website and complete an inquiry form as leads on Zola cost vendors money <3

It was such a pleasure working with Sam leading up to and on our special day! We did our engagement photos with her first, quite honestly with no direction as to what our wedding would look like or who would photograph it. We loved how comfortable we felt with Sam and her relaxed energy that made us feel like we were surrounded by a friend rather than being shadowed by a camera. She had us pose in ways that made us feel natural and look beautiful. After connecting and seeing her incredible artistry come to life in our engagement photos, we knew she was the perfect person to capture our wedding. From there, everything started to fall into place. When we approached Sam about traveling to capture our intimate destination wedding in Hendersonville, North Carolina, she easily met our excitement, talked us through the logistics of what it would look like, and offered suggestions as we chatted about location, vibes, and expectations. Sam was as always so attentive and communicative and was easily our favorite vendor to work with! Onto the wedding weekend and photos- Sam and her husband were so wonderful to work with. They were available for our every request, fit in so perfectly with our intimate group of guests and truly made our day so special. It was important to us to have a photographer who could capture the energy of the day and our guests, the landscape (which was huge on our list with a destination location), and all of the small moments in between. Let me tell you when we got our photos back we were blown away. You can feel the emotion in every single photograph. How is that even possible? From the quality to having the most candid, intimate moments captured so artfully, she truly exceeded our expectations. I’ve had people ask me if we had multiple shooters because she captured EVERY angle and perspective. When I look at our wedding photos I feel like I am truly reliving each moment; I’m not sure you could ask any more from your wedding photographer.
