It can be so nerve-wracking to pick the right photographer for your special day. We wanted someone whose photo editing style we loved but also who we felt safe and comfortable with, and Karisa was the exact right choice for us! From start to finish, Karisa was kind, thoughtful, organized, and so relaxed, which is everything you want on your wedding day! We didn't do an engagement shoot with her, so we weren't sure what to expect, but she made us feel so natural and confident. It was like being photographed by a friend. She made sure to capture all of the details that were important to us, and the pictures are absolutely stunning! We had elderly members of our family who she was incredibly considerate of, and she was quick to make adjustments to our timeline to accommodate their needs without anyone needing to ask her to. At the end of the evening, she went over to each of our vendors and said hello, which shows how incredibly professional she is. Karisa will always be an important part of what made our day so special. We have loved working with her so much, and we can't recommend her enough!

Aimee Custis Photography

  • Serves Germantown, MD

I'm Aimee, and I believe in wedding photos lasting forever and telling your story in a way that spans across generations. Your story might be a civil ceremony with a rainbow chuppah, just the three of us and a witness on your front porch, a gorgeous celebration with your overflowing circle of friends + family, or a traditional church ceremony like the one your parents had 40 years ago. Whatever it is, we want to capture and preserve the moments that make it special to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were a couple determined to plan our party-only wedding independently, and weren't sure we wanted to spend the money on photography. Aimee far exceeded expectations and we are so glad we went with her (in fact, we think she probably undercharged us!). In addition to the photos being absolutely gorgeous and perfectly capturing our intended vibe (private and romantic vows outside in a lush garden space, followed by a big indoor rager party), she went above and beyond just photography. She helped us plan our day-of itinerary, gave us tons of ideas to nail our vision for photos and vibe/energy, and even helped pick out our final accessories (we fondly think of her as our quasi maid of honor and best man, since we didn't have any wedding parties). I will always remember her wiping water from my bouquet on her t-shirt every time she took it out of the vase for me or playing my request hype song as she drove us from our vow location to our reception. We adore Aimee and she exceeded every expectation, and ultimately made our wedding exceed every expectation.

We eloped in DC on one of the coldest, windiest days ever, and Jennifer made it a beautiful experience for us. She kept the vibe light and fun, even when we were freezing, and somehow made us look fantastic despite the wind trying to steal my veil every five seconds. She handled everything like a pro, made us laugh through the shivers, and delivered photos that made us forget how cold we were. If she can make a winter storm look this good, imagine what she can do on a typical day. Highly recommend!

I specialize in capturing the real, candid moments during your wedding day. My approach is all about blending seamlessly into your event. Clients often describe me as calm, cool, and personable. While I take a variety of photos, I stay in the background, moving fluidly throughout the day. My goal is to preserve those fleeting moments, often capturing details you might not have noticed in the excitement of the day. My role also is to make your day stress-free. Whether it's helping direct family for portraits or keeping things running smoothly, I'll be by your side to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

I am so excited you're here! My name is Erin, and I'm your Washington DC area wedding photographer. I'm a sucker for stunning natural light, and have a passion for preserving precious moments and everyday beauty. Big smiles, infectious laughter, colorful flowers and the clinking of champagne glasses are just a few of my favorite things.

I had the honor of being Erin’s first wedding she shot when moved to the DC area! Although there are tons of photographers in the area, Erin’s work truly outshined everyone else’s portfolios and I snatched her up before she even moved to Virginia! Erin had never shot at my venue, so she made sure to come to multiple planning sessions with the venue and my wedding planner to scout locations and build my wedding timeline — with a newborn baby! She made the extra effort to support me in ways she DID NOT need to do, but just another reason why she is in a league above the rest. She made me (and my husband, who hates photos) feel so comfortable on our day while not forcing staged photos once we were tired. We even got film photos that were jaw dropping. My gallery had way more photos than I anticipated, and the turnaround time was quick for the full gallery and sneak peeks. I want to get married all over again just to relive her work!!

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!

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

We are thrilled with Vanessa Bennish Photography! From the moment we met Vanessa during our engagement photo session, we felt completely comfortable with her. Her warm personality, professionalism, and ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera were immediately evident. The photos she and her team captured on our wedding day are nothing short of stunning. Each shot is a work of art that beautifully reflects the emotions and details of our day. Her composition and editing style are very well balanced and give our images a timeless quality look. We are obsessed with how she and her team told the story of our wedding through their lens— their talent for capturing those intimate moments and candid emotions is unmatched. One of the unique touches that made our experience even more special was Vanessa's ability to shoot in different photography formats and mediums, including 35mm film and Polaroids. This added an extra layer of depth to our photos and truly gave the whole experience the cherry on top! Vanessa, we are immensely grateful for the memories you've given us. We've been going through our photos repeatedly, and each time, we are filled with joy. Thank you so much for everything—you were a dream to work with, and we can’t wait to schedule another session with you in the future!

Amanda was the best choice for our wedding photographer. I was overwhelmed by the cost of other photographers and often felt like photos were too posed or stiff. We also had a lot of family dynamics to work with with several blended families. But Amanda's calm, kind, and patient personality immediately put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, Amanda blended seamlessly into the guests, capturing the most beautiful, fun, and editorial shots without us even realizing she was there. The value we received was incredible - the previews we've seen so far are beyond what we could have imagined, perfectly preserving all the special moments that made our day so unique and memorable.

Photography is time machine. It holds moments still, carries them forward through generations, and brings us back to exactly how life felt in that instant.

Because everyone has a story worth safeguarding… and worth remembering.

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!

Olga and her team were amazing! It rained our entire wedding day and she provided amazing photos and made magic happen! Our coordinator wasn’t the best but Olga made sure we followed a timeline and got amazing shots!

I am a modern-day storyteller, wielding my camera as my pen to capture the tales that unfold before me. With a passion for freezing time in the most exquisite way possible, my photographic journey has been a remarkable one. Through the lens, I unearth the extraordinary within the ordinary, revealing the beauty that often hides in plain sight. From the gentle play of light on a dew-kissed leaf to the raw emotions in a candid portrait, I believe that photography is the art of preserving fleeting moments and emotions.

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

It's undeniable that Lauren is an incredibly talented photographer -- her photos probably already caught your eye hence why you're in this reviews section ;) Aside from the incredible, authentic, editorial, and gorgeous photos Lauren delivered from our wedding, she was also a dream to work with. Lauren is a professional; badass, direct, organized, fun, and most importantly, far from "basic" when it comes to wedding photography. I'm so happy I frantically slid into her DMs years ago when she first started photographing weddings in DC. I will always recommend Lauren and years later, my heart still skips a beat when I fondly look through our wedding photos <3 Thank you, Lauren!!

From the moment I met Sarah, it was clear that she is not only incredibly talented but also a genuinely kindhearted, caring, and loving person. She was very responsive and punctual as well as genuinely thoughtful on delivering what we wanted in terms of the photos. Sarah's attention to detail is incredible. Her greatest skill is the ability to capture authentic moments in the most stunning and natural way. We wanted mostly candid moments, and she did exactly that. The photos tell the story of our day perfectly. I can't stop looking at the photos without getting emotional. The love and joy captured by her is reflected in every single image, and makes you relive the moment. If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding day with the utmost care, kindness, and professionalism, Sarah is the photographer for you! We are beyond grateful for her amazing work and the memories she helped create! My only wish is to have another wedding just so I could work with her again!
