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!!!”

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.”

Moments By Morgan Co.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Photography has become one of my favorite ways to combine my creativity with my love of storytelling. I believe you shouldn’t have to spend a fortune to have photographs that feel cinematic. My goal is to create images that feel intentional, timeless, and a little bit like a scene from a movie — while keeping photography accessible and realistic for real people and real budgets.

“I first met Morgan about two years ago. She took sibling photos for my family and they turned out amazing. 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!”

“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!”

Ryan Clark Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Editorial style

  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

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.

“Words cannot explain how happy I am with my wedding pics. Ryan 100% exceeded my expectations, he was not only professional, but extremely laid back and very very easygoing. We truly are so grateful for your time and dedication to us. Our wedding wasn’t very traditional, more of a big family party with a wedding thrown in, and our pictures captured every single moment, and we are forever grateful. We consider Ryan our friend now, not just our photographer. Our family is still talking about how much fun it was. Thank you again for everything, and I hope to work with you again!”

Hey Babe! My Name Is Meghan Glass. I absolutely LOVE traveling and I am completely head over heels in love with love. Seriously. When I ain't capturing it, I am balling over a good romantic comedy. If you love creating beautiful memories... I'm your girl. Say GOODBYE to basic, rigid poses and hello to fun, timeless, and straight up magical moments. Let me break down who I am and why I am different from the rest... I didn't become a photographer to produce generic galleries.

“Would suggest Meghan over and over again. She is extremely talented and her photography speaks for itself. Not only that but she is very efficient. On your big day you’re not trying to stand around all day taking pictures and not once did me or my groom, who takes taking pictures, feel that way. 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 am a wedding photographer who loves true to life colors in my edits. I take pride in creating stylish images that will stand the test of time. My wedding clients love me for my organization and attention to detail.

“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. On the wedding day, she was amazing—watching the schedule for me, adjusting things when needed, and keeping everything running smoothly. We are truly so grateful for her work!”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.”
