Wedding Bug was amazing to work with! The customer service from the start while communicating via email was really good! And then our photographer, James. He was so thorough while taking pictures, it a pleasure working with him! Everyone enjoyed him very much! We absolutely love our pictures and so glad we got a photographer to capture our day since we aren't too big on taking pictures ourselves. He is very creative and really works with the space!

I love what I do! I took my first photography class as a freshman in college and I never looked at the world the same way again. With a lifetime of experience, and a dedication to my art, my goal, whether shooting a wedding, family portrait or in the street, is to capture the special moments that evoke emotion and make memories as real as the day they happened. I would be honored to make those memories yours.

I wanted family photos on the beach for our vacation. I googled photographers in OC and got so LUCKY! Greg was incredible! My entire family was so impressed. He seems to genuinely love his job. The photos were incredible and I couldn’t have been happier. Our children all have spouses and his couple photos were absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend him to anyone for family, engagement, or wedding photos!

Ben Lausch Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Rising Sun, MD

What excites me most as a photographer is finding ways to uniquely capture your story. My goal is to bring out the aspects of you that resonate most-- whether you find that in fun & laughter, or in quiet & stillness. I see myself more as a director than a photographer, always opting for prompts over poses. Through this, I find myself capturing stills that emanate movement and life-- the kind of thing you see in the movies.

Ben Lausch Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the start, they were responsive, inquisitive, and easy to talk to, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Their work is truly beautiful, with a tasteful and efficient style that captured all the special moments of our day. Ben seamlessly integrated himself into the party, working flexibly to ensure he didn't miss a beat. Having been in many weddings, I know a great photographer can make all the difference in setting the right vibe, and Ben was everything we could have hoped for. He stuck to the plan, adapted when needed, and captured everything organically. His communication and turnover time during the editing process was unmatched. He would send editing updates without me even reaching out. I highly recommend Ben to any couple planning their wedding.

Mid-atlantic + Eastern Shore documentary style wedding and elopement photographer. Here for the rock-n-rollers, the-down-to-earth, the bring-the-funk-crew, the stay-at-home-with-my-cat kinda people. Hey, I like dog-people too. Whatever your rhythm, we're here for a good time. I gravitate towards weddings with an intimate feel and celebrations that represent each couple to their core. I love a celebration that breaks the status quo of typical wedding traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for someone to capture your memories in a seriously beautiful way, Christine Tustin is 100% your gal. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and after seeing Christine’s work we had no question we’d ask her to be our photographer. From discussing a contract to receiving our photos, she made the process simple, clear, and stress free, which means eeeverything when planning a wedding! Also, as a bride who had a wedding during COVID-19, I also had anxiety about making sure all our guests felt safe and comfortable. Christine was super flexible, organized, and made sure photos were timely but also thorough, minimizing any stress I had. Christine is not only an artist but she makes you feel like a BOSS. She has a unique way with people, bringing out the best in them through her sense of humor and badass-ness. She’s captured our personalities and relationship PERFECTLY and we feel super blessed to have these memories. Can’t wait to hang them on our photo wall. I could keep on writing/raving FOREVER about her, but will leave it at this. Look no further for an incredible photographer.

I’m Josephine, or Jo for short. I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was about 7 years old. When it came time to choose a college major my dad gave me some great advice: “choose something you love.” So, I chose to study photography and have been living my passion ever since! Capturing authentic, timeless images is my goal. I want you to feel comfortable to be yourself during photoshoots and have your photos reflect your unique personality.

Working with Jo last August was absolutely great! As a coordinator, having someone on the vendor team who is flexible and calm is super important. She handled the rowdy guests with a calm and patient demeanor, was a team-player as things changed, and open to suggestions and questions from me. And the photos are fantastic, of course!

Hi! My name is Leigh (pronounced Lee). I'm a nurse-turned-photographer who loves to see new places, chase around my toddler and sip a crisp diet dr. pepper. Most importantly I am someone who cares immensely about the experience my couples have with me from the second they get in touch.

Leigh not only delivered the most perfect, dreamy photos of our wedding day, but she was also an absolute joy to work with every step of the way. From planning to communication to the big day, everything felt so easy. She honestly felt like a friend who just happened to be snapping photos all day, she fit in so naturally and brought the best energy. Even three months later, she still checks in and gets just as excited about our photos and our day as if it just happened. If I could recommend Leigh a million times, I would without hesitation. Anyone would be beyond lucky to have her by their side on such a special day

Jessica is AMAZING, we hired her for our wedding and also did the engagement pictures with her. I am brazilian and since she is also I thought maybe my now husband would be a little uncomfortable taking the pictures but no way, not with Jessica, the way she makes everything seems so smooth and simple makes you think you are spending a good afternoon with a friend! And her work is definitely THE BEST! On my wedding day she managed to speak both languages with my family and my guests and took so much amazing pictures that now is hard to choose! Everyone loved her job and she sent the pictures so fast that I was really impressed! From now one my dates for events with pictures will depend on her agenda. I can’t wait for the next sessions of her capturing our love!

Laura was my and my now-husband’s favorite vendor we worked with for our wedding BY FAR. She was personable, excited to be part of our big day, incredibly flexible and creative in coming up with ways to get the best shots for the way you want your wedding to work, and a PHENOMENALLY talented artist with such a great eye for where and how to set up shots. Her prices were so much more reasonable than our venue’s preferred vendor, and she even went out of her way to meet with them (a museum) and learn about their photography restrictions, then came up with the best ways to still get amazing photos taken. From the day we contacted her to the day we got our photos, Laura was so comfortable to talk to and work with and it was always a pleasure hearing from her. When we got our photos they exceeded expectations, we can’t stop looking at them! I can’t recommend her strongly enough for your wedding photography or any kind of professional photography - if you’re looking for a photographer, stop here, you’ve found the best!

I'm a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love learning, which eventually led me to earn my Ph.D. (but please don't call me Dr. Kizuka!). I'm fueled by chai tea, rarely seen without a beanie or headband, and known to make questionable facial expressions while concentrating behind the camera. Most days you'll find me climbing, crouching, or occasionally standing in a creek to capture the perfect shot - though I do clean up nicely for wedding days!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used her for our engagement shoot & wedding photos. We didn’t realize that you should choose your wedding photography *style* before you reach out to potential photographers. If you go the other route—book first, learn about the style later—you may end up with photos that don’t match your vision. We came to Carrie after our first photographer disappointed us. She has more of a documentary style with less of an emphasis on the awkwardly posed photos. However, she will still go the extra effort to get an amazing poses shot if you ask. She has such a laid back and positive attitude. I recommend Carrie to anyone looking for beautiful images and a wedding day that doesn’t feel like a photoshoot. She’s a true professional.

Hi! I'm Meghan. I've had a love for photography since my parents bought me my first camera for Christmas in 2001. I took pictures of anyone and anything that sat still for more than .03 seconds. The more pictures I took, the more I loved it. It became a passion of mine, but it wasn't until later that I had the dream of starting my own business. In the meantime, I teach middle school - 7th grade Language Arts to be exact. Yes, it's exactly as crazy as you're imagining, likely even more so. Teaching has taught me two things: patience and how to laugh at myself.

I cannot begin to describe how fun, energetic and talented Meghan is. We have worked together professionally several times and any client or venue would be lucky to work with her!! I finally had the pleasure of hiring her for my bestie’s bridal shower and I couldn’t be happier. She captures every detail, highlight and moment in time with artistry. Not to mention she is fun as heck and brings the energy you want on your best days. HIRE HER. You’ll cherish her art forever.

If I could give Brayley more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!! From the very beginning, she was amazing. She was so communicative when I was first looking for a wedding photographer, and as the wedding got closer, she was always quick to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. She made the whole process feel so much less stressful. On our wedding day, she was everything we could have hoped for. She was friendly, organized, and so helpful, and she truly helped the day run smoothly. She made my husband, me, and our entire wedding party feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which made such a difference. She was also just so much fun to be around. She brought the best energy all day and was the sweetest hype woman and cheerleader, which I absolutely loved. She made us feel so confident and made taking pictures feel easy. When she sent us our sneak peeks, we were honestly blown away. My stepmom and I might be a little biased, but we both agreed they’re some of the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. We are absolutely obsessed with them!! Brayley is so talented at what she does, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we’re so grateful she was part of our wedding day.

I’m Brandon, a documentary wedding photographer based in Charlotte, NC. I photograph weddings with a candid, observant approach, focusing on the real moments, relationships, and atmosphere that make your day yours. I’ll give you direction when needed, but I won’t turn your wedding into a photoshoot. From quiet moments to wild dance floors, I want your photographs to bring you back to how your wedding actually felt. Available throughout Charlotte, the Carolina's and all across the East Coast. I shoot both digital + film for weddings.

We chose Brandon Pickett Photography and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, Brandon was responsive and thoughtful about planning our day, offering timeline recommendations that made everything run smoothly. His artistic eye captured genuine moments between us and our guests in a way that felt natural and unforced. When we saw our photos from our wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens, we were blown away—Brandon told the story of our wedding perfectly, from the big celebrations down to the quiet details we almost missed. His work is stunning, and he truly understood the vision we had for our day. We'd absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about both the craft and the experience.
