“This man is magic. Alex was extremely patient with me during the entire planning process knowing it’s very overwhelming trying to narrow down songs to specific moments. Especially when both me and my husband love all different types of music. He communicated clearly with what we needed to select throughout the day, and anything we hadn’t decided on he understood what vibe was and nailed it. Everyone was on the dance floor from the moment formalities ended to the last song of the night (Cinema by Skrillex of course). I asked for a party and Alex delivered exactly that (& better)! Our friends and family still talk about "how great the DJ was". Trusting Alex with such an important part of the day we did not take lightly and he absolutely exceeded expectations. Our wedding felt like something out of a movie, we couldn’t ask for a better party.”

  • Serves Gibson Island, MD

I’m Laura - a photographer and lifelong storyteller who believes that being human is the art. I create imagery for people who don’t always see themselves in traditional photography: the dreamers, the artists, the misfits, and anyone still reaching for the clouds. My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

“LMM Photography is incredible. She's down-to-earth and proactive. She's affordable and creative. She's perfect. Hire her, you will be amazed! She made planning easy and fun. She was always available when I had questions or ideas. When it came to the big event I almost forgot she was there to take photos. She was so diligent and helped me avoid the major bridal stress. She even saved our wedding photos! A bridesmaid had a major issue with bridesmaid dress and waited until the day of the wedding to let me know. So on the big day I was doing alterations, which pushed me back by hours. I tried really hard not to let it upset me (because things happen) and I thought I had missed doing the getting ready photos--little did I know that LMM was doing her thing while I was trying not to panic because I was surprised when I received my wedding photos to see that she also took some of THE BEST getting ready photos. Not to mention, because she took initiative, she put me back on track and I literally got to the ceremony on time! I was so grateful, I cried when I finally got to see the photos knowing that someone had actually captured those memories. I have now hired her for SEVERAL photography sessions, and I will continue to do so! Thank you, Laura!!”

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

“Atalie Day Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our first contact, Atalie's communication style was professional yet personal, and she was always easily accessible to answer any questions we had. Her work is truly professional, beautiful, and feels like artwork - Atalie captured every special moment of our day, and her pictures will bring our perfect day back to life every time we look at them.

“From the very start CJ was amazing to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and super responsive to any questions. He has a worksheet to fill out with any specific songs for certain parts of the evening or for the reception dance floor, and by the end of the night he had gotten to every requested song. He was even able to throw in the Eagles fight song for the groom! There were a few moments in the night that we let CJ decide the music for and he chose the perfect songs to fit the vibe. He was great at reading the dance floor and adjusting to the crowd, and he had some fun mixes of well known songs to switch things up. On more than one occasion our guests raved about CJ through the night, and we couldn't have been happier with his work.”

“I honestly don’t want to review her cause someone might steal her from me haha she’s a hidden gem ! A diamond in the rough ! I used to hate when other people would do my makeup but not with her . With any occasion I have used her she always made the look how I wanted it… whether soft with a glow or over the top with a bold lip . I come from a family of artists and her work is art , your face is a canvas she will never paint the same picture , she is all about giving you the personalized look the goes with your skin tone , vibe , outfit or anything else your thinking . She is truly gifted in her craft , and that’s why I call her my wizard, she just works magic ! … also I’d add so many more photos to share but it would let me”

“We got married at Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park and couldn't have asked for a better venue. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and easy to work with- they answered every question we had in a calm, straightforward way. The space itself is stunning, with those open waterfront views that made our ceremony feel special without us having to do much decorating. They even coordinated drop-off for our decor, which saved us so much stress on the day of. The whole experience felt effortless, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the location was. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a venue with genuine people who care about making your wedding day perfect.”
