Kathleen Baker is a Washington DC wedding photographer creating heirloom work for couples who understand what photographs become over time. Known for her quiet, present observation and refined editorial portraits, Kathleen blends digital and 35mm film to create imagery that feels both archival and alive. Based on the East Coast and photographing weddings in Washington DC, New York City, Virginia, and destination locations worldwide, Kathleen serves couples who value legacy, style, and a calm, grounded presence on their wedding day.

“We cannot recommend Kathleen enough! Our wedding included three different locations - a ceremony in the mountains, a reception indoors in a restaurant, and an after party downtown, as well as getting ready at a parent’s. Kathleen went out of her way to go to each location, and shot incredible photos, even though each location required different settings and expertise. She was fantastic at directing and wrangling family members and friends, and provided advice on the best location for photos. She is a wonderful person, and got along with everyone so well, going out of her way to provide mints and tissues. Kathleen knows when it’s important to take charge and when to step back, and she also let us flag her down for specific photos with friends and family members. Prior to the wedding, she was also incredibly professional, with a helpful website, structured planning meetings, and thorough contract. Most importantly, we got our sneak peak photos the next day, and they are STUNNING - she captured so many details, intimate moments, and thoughtful shots. Her process is clearly intentional, and the outcome has made us misty eyed! DO NOT HESITATE to hire this incredible woman!!!”

“There are no words to describe the breathtaking photos that we received back from our October 14, 2023 wedding!! Every single picture is stunning and there isn’t one single picture that we (even a little bit) don’t like. Hannah and her SIL showed up and quickly got to work. That day it was raining from dawn until the start of the ceremony and they showed up with smiles and raincoats to get every shot imaginable. They not only captured the sentiments of us but also captured the party and joy in everyone else there. I can not recommend Quinn Photography enough and will 1000 times out of 10 pick them for all of my photography needs! If you’re still in limbo on finding a photographer rather it be for a wedding, family, couple, birthday, holiday or whatever your heart desires stop what you’re doing and reach out to them.”

I knew she would be our photographer after our first meeting. She is as kind as she is talented. Having kind vendors who go above and beyond is really a blessing. She made us feel comfortable, and had a great eye for detail during our engagement shoot. Fast forward to our wedding day, and Chantel arrived early to scope out places for photos. She was helpful and attentive throughout the entire day.”

Hi, I’m Ria, and I am a hopeless romantic with a camera in hand. I believe in the magic of the in-between moments—the tear in your father’s eye, the shaky breath before the first look, and the chaotic joy of the dance floor. With many years of capturing love stories, my goal is to document your day exactly as it feels: intimate, joyful, and uniquely yours. I believe in capturing your special moments to ensure they last a lifetime. I look forward to working with you.

“We used Bay Breeze Photography and we are absolutely blown away. From our first meeting, she made us feel so comfortable, which was huge since we both get awkward in front of a camera. We had never had any professional images done before and had no idea what to expect. She captured the most beautiful candid moments both on our wedding day that we didn't even notice happening. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the whole day all over again. If you want someone who is not only a talented artist but also a pleasure to have by your side on your wedding day, look no further.”

She’s done couple pictures for my brother and myself and a single ladies photo shoot just for fun and I never complain about anything. Her work is clean and she’s a fun person to work with. Even if she wasn’t going to be my sister-in-law, I still have nothing negative to . Her work speaks for herself and I always recommend her for everything!”

Our engagement shoot was last minute due to other events out of our control, and Tori handled it with ease. To this day, these are my favorite photos that have been taken of me! Tori had professional communication throughout the process as well as prompt delivery of the product. I could not recommend anyone more for your big moments!”

“So what VWC does is they pair you with a photographer that they think will fit you and your style the best and let me just say, they knocked it out of the park. Ashley and (both!) Brianna’s were amazing, they made our day so fun and special! Their attitude and outgoing personalities were so fun to have on our day, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the amount of pictures we were taking! All my family and guests were raving about how much fun they were and how at ease they made everyone feel, and just how much they could tell they loved being a part of our day! As for the owners, Ashley & Luke, they very clearly love what they do and respect their customers. We had a bit of a snaffu early in our wedding planning process and they took care of it in such a professional and apologetic manner that my husband and I felt comfortable that we still would have them capture our wedding day. Honestly, their entire team was wonderful to work with and our sneak peeks are just absolutely amazing and iI truly cannot wait to see the rest of our album!”

Photography has always interested me as the medium in which to freely express the emotions in my mind. Being interested in photography at an early age I got my first camera, a Polaroid Land Camera. Though mostly a self-taught photographer, I was always a student of taking photos and print manipulation. While practicing photography at the Visual Arts Center in Portsmouth, VA, I learned how to develop and print photos in a darkroom. This led me to converting one of the rooms in my house into a functioning darkroom, and for many years I developed negatives and made prints for clients and art shows.

Also something that was a big deal to me, included in her photography package, was both a hour long engagement shoot as well as a second shooter for day off. Brides do yourself a favor and book!!!”

“I found Michelle on Instagram and instantly fell in love with her portfolio and aesthetic. Her style is clean, timeless, editorial, and beautifully romantic. She responded quickly to our initial inquiry and was just as fast in scheduling a discovery call with us. During the call, she asked thoughtful questions about our expectations and was genuinely intentional throughout every conversation. Michelle was incredibly responsive and organized. We never had to send multiple follow-up emails—she always reached out at the right time and provided us with a list of helpful questions to make sure every detail was covered. She was also wonderfully creative and flexible in meeting our needs. We have a big family, and she still managed to photograph every family member using an organized group list that fit perfectly within the timeline.

He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.”

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.
