I’m Aprilynn, a Maryland and destination wedding photographer capturing love stories with a romantic, emotional, and editorial style.

My approach is natural and timeless, creating images that feel effortless while still telling your story honestly. Whether your wedding is on the coast, in the mountains, or across the world, I want your photos to bring you right back to how it all felt. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me traveling, drinking iced white mochas, and spending time with family. 🤍

We planned our wedding in just two weeks, which was incredibly last minute, but Aprilynn from Starrella Photography made the whole process feel effortless!!! From our first conversation, her passion for capturing special moments was obvious, and she jumped at the chance to be part of our big day despite the tight timeline. During the ceremony and reception, she knew exactly what poses to suggest, which made us feel confident in front of the camera and resulted in stunning photos we absolutely love. Her work is simply amazing—every shot feels authentic and beautifully composed. We received our edited photos so quickly! We can't thank Aprilynn enough for stepping in and delivering such incredible value, even with our rushed planning. We would absolutely recommend Starrella Photography to any couple, whether you have months to plan or just a couple of weeks.

Hi. I'm Teresa. While photography is a part-time job for me, documenting your stories doesn't ever get treated like it's not important. My full-time gig is teaching high school English and journalism at an all-boys school in Washington, DC. Journalism is my favorite subject to teach because it is as much about writing as it is about the art of observing the world, and I became a photographer because of my experiences in photojournalism.

From the moment we booked TCJ Design for our wedding photography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Teresa demonstrated clear, frequent communication and was a great listener throughout the entire process. Their work is simply beautiful, timeless, and captivating. For our engagement session, Teresa really delivered on our by the water/Maryland theme, capturing stunning shots that felt so true to us as a couple. On our wedding day, the TCJ Design team seamlessly documented every meaningful detail, delivering photos that are more beautiful than we could have imagined. We are so grateful to have these cherished memories to look back on for years to come.

Hi, I’m Amber, the photographer behind Amber Chole Photography. I’m passionate about capturing the moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours. I take pride in building personal connections with my clients, which allows me to photograph your story with intention, care, and heart. Every image I create is filled with thoughtfulness and passion, aiming to preserve the genuine emotions, laughter, and love that make your day unforgettable. I truly love what I do, and I’d be honored to help tell your story through beautiful, timeless images. Let’s make memories that will last a lifetime!

Aside from marrying my husband, choosing Amber as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding. LADIES- I know how stressful this decision can be. First, Amber as a person is incredibly positive, enthusiastic, and supportive — she never shoots down your ideas. She’s a kind and hardworking mom. As a professional, she takes her art very seriously. You can tell she thoughtfully tailors each shoot to match your preferred aesthetic and really curates to your vibe. Her editing style perfectly captured the colorful, romantic, boho look I envisioned. Her editing and photoshop skills are unmatched: she somehow makes you look and feel like the absolute best version of yourself. She executed every specific shot I wanted along so many creative ideas of her own. I fully trusted her. We could not be more thrilled with both our engagement shoot and our wedding gallery. I would recommend her to anyone looking for scenic, unique, vibrant photos that feel authentic and special. Hopefully one day we’ll get to work with her again for a maternity shoot!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

I love her photography style and editing, and I feel like her team truly captured the beauty and love we felt on our wedding day. Sarah was very easy to communicate and work with and I feel like she listened to my vision and knew the key shots I wanted for the day. She also was incredible with time management, ensuring we got all of the shots we needed so we didn't have to miss much of our cocktail hour or any of our reception!

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

We could not be happier with our decision to hire Nina for our wedding! We just received our full wedding gallery and WOW— Nina and her second photographer, Darcy, did such a wonderful job capturing our day. Nina has an excellent eye. Each photo is masterfully composed and the colors are rich. Our gallery had the perfect mix of candids and posed shots. Nina captured so many special moments we weren’t able to experience or see ourselves! We had so much fun going through the gallery and sending our guests the photos they were in. She truly captured the joyous feeling of the day and going through the photos feels like reliving it. Nina is also a great communicator. She is timely in her responses and clear about her process and what to expect. She also makes sure to ask questions about what you want as a couple. We felt calm and comfortable with her. You will be in excellent hands with Nina!! We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.
