BWC Photos (Brotha With A Camera)

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Essex, MD

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with. I felt SO lucky when I came across her work on social media - which was genuinely more beautiful than photographers charging 2x or more. I probably inquired with 10 photographers beforehand, but the moment I found Jenn, knew we'd choose her for her beautiful work. We loved our engagement photos, and she gave us (stunning) sneak peek wedding photos the day after our wedding! From her "detail" shots, teaching us how to pose (thanks!), scoping out the best spots for beautiful shots, creating a wedding day photography timeline for us - she was so professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. Also as a side note, she is an engineer and I don't know how she is blessed in equal measure with both left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She also has some very cool options, like Super8 film, polaroids, etc. that we opted to add on - her work is timeless and beautiful and I can't recommend her highly enough. Jenn - thank you so much for capturing these moments for us to look back on!

We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

We had an awesome experience working with Paperboys for our wedding! Their communication style was prompt, warm, chill, and they were so easy to work with. The quality of their work and the value we got was incredible - truly excellent and professional. They captured all the meaningful moments of our big day and provided a great final product that required very little effort on our end. Their whole team is so cool and easygoing, and they have a really unique company structure that just works. The guys were so fun to work with and made us feel comfortable being ourselves on camera. We'd highly recommend Paperboys for any couple looking for a videographer that will provide an excellent product while also making you feel like you're working with friends!

Jon was highly recommended by our wedding planner (Lissa Marie Weddings and Events), and we immediately hired him after our initial meeting. It really says something when other vendors only have great things to say! He did such a wonderful job on our wedding day and really kepted everything flowing smoothly with no hiccups. Our ceremony sounds was absolutely perfect and the microphones were sooo easy to use and captured all the sound perfectly. Jon was great at making announcements, (even though it wasn't planned) like when he had to tell people to go to cocktail hour. We also had a photobooth package with him and the attendant did such a great job running the booth. It was definitely the most popular event and our families still raves about the pictures they took! From the moment we met Jon, he was just so easy to talk to and knew exactly what we wanted for the day when we shared our vision. Jon is so professional, supportive, and positive, and I can't imagine having someone else on our special day. He is definitely worth the money and I would hire him again without a doubt for any event!

Building a genuine connection with my clients is essential to helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera, allowing us to authentically tell your story. We would love to hear from you!

Laura was our saving grace at our wedding in October! She made us feel comfortable and calm all whilst queuing the most stunning poses I never knew we were capable of! Early on in the booking process I told Laura that I hated getting my picture taken. That I was awkward and sure I would ruin my wedding photos. She quelled my fears and assured me that a lot of her clients felt the same beforehand. Moments before she showed up the day of, the wedding jitters were taking over and the giant moths in my stomach were having a field day. But as soon as I saw Laura, everything eased - she is MAGIC! And believe me when I say it is impossible for her to take a bad photo. I’ve never seen myself pictured so elegantly and beautifully. And not just ourselves, but our friends and family as well. Who knew we were such models? Lol it’s all thanks to Laura. We are in absolute awe of the whole gallery. Needless to say - book Laura Briglia immediately!

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Essex, MD

Hi, I'm K - and I can't wait to meet you. I believe your wedding ceremony should be uniquely yours and one you feel proud of. As a wedding officiant, I specialize in crafting custom ceremonies that are playful, joyful, and deeply sentimental—bringing laughter and heartfelt moments to your big day.

K was an absolute DREAM to work with! K was our marriage officiant, and she made everything easy for us. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful, while also being a gifted writer who was able to share my and my husband’s love for each other during the ceremony. She interviewed my husband and I separately to get our thoughts on our relationship, and then put together the most wonderful ceremony for us, using the same communication style we used. We had many people tell us it was one of the best wedding ceremonies they had heard. She included so many details about our relationship that were meaningful to us. She helped us decide on things like how we wanted to be announced at the end of the ceremony and other things we hadn’t even thought about, so all of the “smaller” details were special to us, too. The picture I'm including shows how much we enjoyed the ceremony she put together! On the administrative side, she walked us through how to get a marriage certificate, and after the wedding, handled sending it in for us. Also, when she had an emergency come up and wasn’t able to attend our rehearsal, she was insistent on lowering her fee, since we originally planned for her to be there. It was unnecessary, as we understood things happen, but she insisted. Just another example of how wonderful and fair a person she is to work with. I can’t imagine anyone else having made our ceremony as special for us as K did.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Festive Board for our wedding catering, and while the food was really good and the staff was friendly, there were a couple of hiccups on our big day. Unfortunately, they brought the wrong table runners, and there was a mix-up with our bar setup. The coordinator told us beforehand on our planning call that we only needed to bring bitters for our Old Fashioned mixer, but just an hour before the event, they mentioned they were missing simple syrup. We had to scramble to get some last minute, which added some unnecessary stress. Overall, the food was great and most things went smoothly, but I would’ve appreciated an apology for these issues. A little more attention to detail and communication could have made the experience even better.

Detail shots, first reveal, preparation, grounds, ceremony, family, reception, and all the special little moments in between.

From a young age, she discovered the power of storytelling through her mom's scrap books and National Geographic magazines, sparking an undying fascination with capturing the essence of life's most profound moments. She studies under renowned photographers, soaking up their wisdom and honing her own unique style; authentic photojournalism.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Katelyn as our wedding photographer was undoubtedly one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding day! We had the pleasure of seeing her work firsthand at a friend's wedding, with who knows how many cameras strapped on! Seeing her attention to detail firsthand and the beautiful quality of our friends photos, she was first on our list for a consultation. From our first call, Katelyn embraced our vision with enthusiasm and professionalism. We knew we wanted a documentary-style photographer with the option of film photos (we loved that Katelyn includes these already) who could capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of our wedding with our lively group, and Katelyn delivered! Despite our initial nervousness about being in front of the camera, Katelyn made us feel incredibly comfortable. Having an engagement shoot beforehand was a great practice run, she has an incredible talent for putting people at ease, and this truly shines through in the photos. We have never felt so photogenic! Our album turned out better than we could have dreamed up. It is truly reflective of us and our day. Complete with details of my treasured Kirkland sweatpants on the way to our venue contrasted with my dress glam Katelyn’s commitment to us was truly exceptional as she had a family loss shortly before our wedding. It would have been more than understandable for her to need more time away or to find us a replacement. Despite this, Katelyn remained fully committed to capturing our day and we are so so grateful. Her dedication and professionalism during such a difficult time speaks volumes about her passion for her work and for her clients. Katelyn is a true artist and an amazing person. Her work exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our wedding team. The only question we have is how early is too early for a vow renewal so we can hire her again!

We hired 24K Event Band for our long-postponed COVID wedding this March (2022). They were phenomenal in every way. From the very beginning, Jill, the band leader, made the experience very easy. She was incredibly responsive and helpful. She guided us through the process, asked all the right questions and helped us think of things we certainly hadn't thought of ourselves. The band learned two custom songs for us, one for our first dance and another for the mother/son dance. They CRUSHED the songs! Absolutely amazing. Overall the entire experiences was beyond my wildest dreams. Everyone at the wedding was amazed by the talent and energy of the band. We loved all of the vendors we worked with to make our night special, but 24K Event Band went above and beyond and really made the night come together. I would highly, highly recommend them. Great energy, great enthusiasm, amazing to work with, and incredible talent.

  • Serves Essex, MD

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Casanova was awesome! My husband and I are very picky when it comes to music, and decided to make our own playlists for our wedding reception. He was so great and was totally on board with playing our pre made playlists. He was so helpful throughout the process and was also so responsive prior to the reception via phone and email. He made sure to speak with us via FaceTime to formally meet us and go over name pronunciations since he also introduced all the big moments of the reception. He also made sure to check in with us throughout the reception to make sure the music and sound quality were to our liking. We were so pleased with him as our DJ! He is kind, professional, and talented! If you are getting married, we highly recommend DJ Casanova!!

My sincerest gratitude will always be with sweeter than honey events for making my wedding a memorable experience. From start to finish, they were present and put their whole hearts into helping me plan my wedding. It is hard to find planners who listen and prioritize what the couple wants while keeping them within their budget. This planner went above and beyond to find me Suitable vendors, was always responsive to inquiries, remained professional , stayed in constant communication and made us feel seen and heard each time. There wasn’t a single moment where I felt alone , confused or not supported. They took care of everything with genuine concern!! As we know wedding planning is not easy but this planning team was my biggest cheerleader, negotiator, support system and advocate in the most critical point of my life and I will forever be grateful. Thank you for leaving such a huge impact in our lives, we are so lucky to have worked with you ! Our wedding was literally the best time of our lives and we couldn’t have done it without you !!

I’m Jessica, the heart (and camera) behind **Jessica Cassandro Photography**—where love stories come to life, one candid, true-to-color frame at a time. If you’re obsessed with rom-coms, believe in grand gestures, and think 'The Notebook' was actually a documentary, then we’re going to get along just fine.

I have been so blessed to be able to work with Jess more than once and each time have been so impressed with not only her creativity, but her love for photography in general. Jess has amazing communication skills, and truly pours her heart out into what she does. She is such an amazing photographer and captures so much emotion in her work, we are so lucky to have our memories captured so beautifully by her! :)

I'm Cain, a wedding photographer based in Hanover, PA, with roots in Detroit and a background capturing everything from Disney fairytales to real-life love stories. Photography has always been more than just pictures for me — it’s about freezing the little moments you’ll look back on and feel all over again. I’m passionate about making your day feel as real and meaningful as it is, without forced poses or fake smiles. Every wedding is different, and I approach yours with the same energy and care I'd give my closest friends. It’s your story — I’m just here to help you remember it in the best way possible.

Awesome photographer, we loved our photos from our special day and Cain did amazing on working with us throughout the whole day and keeping us ahead of schedule so we didn’t have to stress about anything. Would highly recommend using Cain for any special event you may have!

Hey, I’m Aimee—wedding day bestie, professional third wheel, and the one who will absolutely tear up during your vows. I’m obsessed with love in all its forms—the quiet, stolen glances, the big, can’t-stop-smiling kind of joy, and everything in between. As your photographer, I’m here to capture your day exactly as it happens—real, raw, and completely, undeniably you.

I don't know where to even start!!! All I can say is that if you are thinking of whether to book Aimee as your photographer, look no further!!! I got married on 01/19/25 in Miami FL and I was blessed to have Aimee there to capture our day. She traveled to us from out of state and although we never met in person before my wedding day, I felt like I knew her so well. Her communication before, during and after the wedding was perfect in every way. She calls, emails, texts and zoom calls. Super professional and responsive. Aimee is also kind, calm and so passionate about her work. She made me feel stunning and captured all the intimate moments we never even knew we wanted. She is so personal and the end result is a lifetime of memories that look amazing and timeless. My husband and I are so glad we chose her as our photographer. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!! Sincerely, The Lethbridges
