Kate Fine Art Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Gibson Island, MD

In 2003 I began my career in photography with the Maryland Film Office in Baltimore and photographed my first wedding in 2004 with my sister-in-law. I was in love! In 2007 I decided to go full time with wedding photography. I moved out west to apprentice with veteran wedding photographers in Las Vegas and Los Angeles to master studio lighting and posing techniques. I began working full time as a wedding photographer in Annapolis under my own company in 2009. Since then, I have met hundreds of amazing couples. When I'm not photographing a wedding, you can most likely find me on a mountain or the Chesapeake Bay with my family...camera in hand.

“Kate is a super talented and professional photographer and we’re so happy we chose her for our wedding. From day one Kate was responsive, professional and super easy to work with. We had our wedding in Greece, and despite the language barrier, Kate connected with our wedding planner to ensure that everything went seamlessly. She asked questions and was very engaged making sure she knew every detail of the photo timeline. She even typed out an email in Greek to our wedding planner somehow!! We were very hands off and gave her complete creative control, and she was amazing! On the day of our wedding Kate showed up and went above and beyond, capturing all of the important moments, with little to no direction from us on our big day. We received the sneak peak shots very quickly after the wedding and we absolutely loved them! We are so happy with our decision to work with Kate and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, professional photographer!”

Technically my name is Alexandra, but my friends all call me Alex. I shot my first wedding in 2015- and immediately knew I had found my calling. Now, with four years of experience under my belt, I still pinch myself that I get to do this as my JOB! Pinning the boutonniere on your dad, reminding your bridesmaids to remove the hair ties from their wrists, and maybe even jumping on the dance floor when the Cha Cha slide comes on (it is my JAM.) I truly take my job as your bonus bridesmaid to heart. All the while, capturing beautiful images full of LIFE that tell the story of your wedding day.

“Alex is AMAZING! Our wedding photos turned out exactly how we wanted. We can't stop looking at them. She not only gave us beautiful photos and memories but was the BEST person to spend the day with. She helped make sure our wedding ran smoothly and was so fun to be around. My husband and I don't love taking pictures, but Alex made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we had so much fun. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Alex!!!”

Hi, I’m Jen El-Haddad, owner and lead photographer of Jennifer Mary Collective — a dual-city photography brand based in Baltimore, MD and Charleston, SC. I specialize in wedding and branding photography that celebrates connection, color, and storytelling. My love for photography started young — with a Polaroid sticker camera and a stack of disposable film rolls. What began as a childhood obsession grew into a lifelong passion for capturing emotion and artistry in every frame. I’m a curly-headed, Old Bay-loving, caffeine-dependent Marylander with a soft spot for Southern charm (and a colorful Lilly Pulitzer print or two).

Awarded Best of Zola
“I can’t begin to express how happy we were with Jennifer Mary photography for our engagement and wedding photos! Not only is Jen literally the nicest human, but her ability to make 2 camera shy people feel comfortable taking pictures is incredible. Jen and her team worked so well with our younger family members (we all know that can be tricky), and she worked with our event coordinator to make sure we could get sunset pictures without disrupting the timeline of events of the night. Her creativity and attention to detail is outstanding, we would choose her every time!”

“We were incredibly fortunate to have Xiao as our wedding photographer, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she was professional, thoughtful, and dedicated, providing us with tremendous support every step of the way. Before the wedding, Xiao took the time to consult with us in detail, discussing everything from the style and color of my dress to the bridesmaids’ outfits. Her exceptional aesthetic sense and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the photos would come together beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Xiao arrived fully prepared with an impressive array of photography equipment. She was patient, encouraging, and meticulous, guiding us through each pose and shot. She also thoughtfully scouted and selected stunning locations, making every photo feel unique and special. The group photos with our bridesmaids and groomsmen were especially fun and creative, with multi-angle shots that captured so much joy and personality. Throughout the ceremony and reception, Xiao worked tirelessly to capture every meaningful moment, leaving us with countless beautiful memories to treasure. After the wedding, her professionalism continued—she promptly created a shared folder so we could review and choose our favorite photos together. Her editing work was both fast and flawless, bringing out the best in every shot. Our entire experience with Xiao was exceptional. She is not only a highly skilled photographer but also someone who brings care, creativity, and passion to her work. Thanks to her, our wedding day has been preserved in the most beautiful and heartfelt way. We are beyond grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly talented and dedicated photographer.”

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!!”

I believe you should be present on your wedding day, not rushing through a timeline just to check boxes. That's why our goal is to provide our couples with a photography experience that allows you to be fully present so that you can truly have the time of your life celebrating with your people, laugh your way through pictures, and dance the night away with your best friends. In the end, your wedding images should be a direct reflection of the memories you made, not moments that were forced.

“I cannot recommend Meghan enough. We've just gotten our sneak peeks and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for our full gallery! Our photos are stunning, and she went above and beyond just photos. When I didn't know where to turn in some planning aspects, I asked if she had any advice and she always came through. She was so chill throughout everything. She knows weddings like the back of her hand. I never felt like we were on our own. She kept me cool and calm when some family members sparked some frustration. She kept us on track with our requested shot list but also gave us room to explore different poses and different locations at the venue. She was also great at giving my husband (!) and me directions on how to pose (we're quite awkward in front of the camera) and managed to make us look like complete naturals! She also brought along her amazing team so we got so many pictures and amazing candid moments. Just a few of the sneak peeks have already made me tear up. Our day was amazing and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to document it all. By the end of it all, Meghan felt more like a friend than just our photographer. THANK YOU MEGHAN!! YOU QUEEN!!”

“We hired Christine of Silver Orchard Creative for our engagement and wedding photography in 2022 and our experience with her was an absolute dream from day one. From our initial consultation to our wedding day, she was beyond helpful, professional, and supportive. Choosing her was one of the best and most important decisions we made during our entire planning process. We were nervous going into our engagement session since we had never taken professional photos before, but Christine instantly made us feel comfortable. She taught us all the best angles, poses, dips, and twirls and turned the whole experience into something fun and memorable. Those photos are still some of our favorites. When our wedding day arrived, Christine brought such a calming presence. As soon as she walked in, I felt collected and at ease. She kept us organized and on time while capturing every special moment along the way. She offered timeline guidance, shared helpful suggestions throughout the planning process, and truly went above and beyond in every way. Looking back at our gallery, we are reminded not just of how the day looked, but how it felt, and that is something we will always treasure. Christine became so much more than our wedding photographer. She became our “life” photographer. After our engagement and wedding photos, we knew we would return to her again and again. Now, in 2026, we are thrilled to be scheduling a family session with her as we begin our next chapter as parents. It feels so special to have the same person who captured the start of our marriage now helping us document this new season of life. We cannot thank you enough, Christine!”

Hi there, I'm Rachel, a portrait and wedding photographer based in Washington DC and NYC. With a BFA in Photography and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master's degree in Film Studies from the University of Edinburgh, I have spent over 15 years honing my skills and deepening my understanding of photography as an art form. When I'm not behind the camera, I’m often delving into the world of mid-century design, watching films and going on hikes with my husband, Jamie.

“Hiring Rachel was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her eye for composition and color gave us a gallery of magazine-worthy photographs. Even indoors and in low-light conditions, Rachel captured consistently beautiful shots. She also delivered our preview within a week and our full 500+ photo gallery in under 30 days. If you’re looking for stylized, yet natural-looking photos — not too cheesy, not the same pictures you see over and over on Pinterest — book her. We’re grateful we did.”

“I can’t say enough about Mellisa. She did a truly AMAZING job at our wedding! Not only did she capture our big day so wonderfully but she also made sure I was well taken care of from the start to the end. Mellisa is also very good at finding the perfect angle right away, which tells you how talented she is as a photoprapher. I used her pictures for our Christmas cards and I received SO MANY compliments!! I also used her work to create a wedding photo album, which I gifted to my parents-in-law, and they were very impressed and moved. Her photos capture and deliver even the subtle emotions of people, and that allows us to relive our unforgettable wedding day. Her work definitely touches many people’s hearts and I can’t thank her enough for it! Being able to work with her was absolutely one of the best decisions I made for my wedding and I HIGHLY recommend her. Don’t look for any further! I would love her to take our future family photos or anniversary photos as well! Thank you for being such a kind, fun, thoughtful, and talented photographer, Mellisa! We are forever thankful!”

Wedding photography shouldn't be an investment. When trying to book my own wedding photographer, I noticed that pages listing costs were never called "prices," never "rates" -- always "investment," a word that brings to mind loans, savings, risk. A house is an investment. A car is an investment. Photos of your wedding day? Those should be a given. I became a wedding photographer because I believe beautiful photos should be accessible for all couples. That's why I charge by the hour--so you can build a package that works for you.

“Choosing Aleyna Rentz Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From our first correspondence, Aleyna was prompt in her responses and genuinely interested in learning about our vision. On the day of the wedding, she proved to be patient and professional when I was running late, never making us feel rushed or stressed. What really impressed us was her willingness to adapt, she welcomed my family into our photos even though they weren't originally part of the plan, showing how attentive she was to making our day special. The final photos came out beautifully, with every detail captured perfectly. Aleyna is truly a saint, and we couldn't recommend her more highly.”

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 captured the most amazing photos for our wedding. Photos that make you wonder “how did he even do that”. His work goes so much further than the clicking of a camera. His own artistic expression was a gift to the entire event. And the professionalism he brought forth before, during, and after the event makes everything very simple to track, purchase, and share. If I could, I would use Sam’s photography skills at every life event.”

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

“Maddie was above and beyond anything we could've asked for as our wedding photographer. She has a gift for the craft and handled our huge wedding party like a pro. She pays attention to every little detail to get the best photos and was so skilled in finding the perfect shots throughout the weekend. We loved working with her and would suggest her to any couple across the country as she knows how to scope out any area for the best shots. Her consultation process was great, she gave us a lot of good ideas and considerations to help us make sure we got in as many good family/friend shots as possible so the whole wedding party could have nice photos to remember the weekend by as well as us. She went above and beyond throughout the wedding night, coming back to grab her camera off the clock to get a bunch of candid photos of the dance floor and reception. Thank you Maddie for capturing our special night, we loved working with you.”
