Loved the Pros! We booked a DJ through them (Latif), which was super easy and collaborative. We told him we wanted to dance and literally, no one left the floor. He kept the party going and perfectly mixed line dances, with 80/90s/00s requests. Would recommend to anyone!

We were thrilled with our wedding photographer from Wedding Bug. David was a dream to work with - his communication style was amazing throughout the entire process. He was incredibly responsive, made everything easy and fun, and had an incredible talent behind the lens. The photos David captured from our special day are stunning - he has such an artistic eye and brilliant way of composing shots. He brought so much energy and fun to our event, making all of our wedding party feel at ease while also directing us for gorgeous portraits. The value and quality of David's work is exceptional.

Ben Lausch Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Royal Oak, 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 was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! From start to finish, he made our experience so wonderful and stress-free. During our first phone call, I knew he would be a great fit because of his professionalism and attention-to-detail. As a bride, I wanted a wedding photographer who would make my husband and I feel relaxed and capture the best moments of our big day. Ben did just that. He captured the beauty, fun, and high energy of our wedding in such a beautiful and unique way. We were so thankful and our wedding photos completely took our breath away! We will treasure them forever and will absolutely hire him again for future milestones.

Cherish started her professional photography career in 2007, with a simple request from a friend whose photographer couldn’t make it to her daughter’s wedding. Cherish fell in love with the process and has honed her skills ever since. Since 2015, she has functioned as a school photography supervisor, training new photographer in senior and underclass portraits, as well as group photography. She brings this knowledge base to every wedding she photographs.

My name is Jessie Freiert, and when my now husband and I got married in September of 2022, Cherish was our wedding photographer. She not only did our engagement photos, but also the photos for our very special day. She took photos of everything from getting ready, to my Dad seeing me for the first time, to the ceremony, to the first dance, the special dances, and everything in between, she captured every moment of our special day. We are forever grateful to be able to look back and know that we can see the joy and happiness of that day captured in such a simple way.

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

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

My wife and I cannot recommend Gabriella enough! We met Gabriella at my best friends wedding a few years ago when she was their photographer and loved her! Since then, we’ve been able to establish a wonderful relationship with Gabriella as she did our engagement photos (which were STUNNING) and helped us with all things planning for the wedding! Gabriella was so helpful in creating the timeline for our wedding, sharing vendor recommendations, and honestly just overall calming any nerves we had leading up to the wedding! Gabriella goes above and beyond her job as a photographer. When she first photographed my best friend’s wedding, Gabriella actually helped myself and the other bridesmaids with getting dressed/last minute touch ups. Gabriella and I also had bonded about our love of all things Taylor Swift. When she shot our engagement photos, Gabriella blasted Taylor the entire time to help us feel even more comfortable behind the camera! Unfortunately, my wife broke her ankle badly right before the wedding, and was in a boot and on a scooter on the day of. Not only did Gabriella adapt, she also offered a complimentary session once my wife is healed! On the wedding day, Gabriella and her team were so supportive and flexible given my wife’s injury and her ability to take photos. They literally carried her scooter on a golf cart across the venue grounds so we could get the shot! Just a couple examples of how above and beyond she and her team went throughout our entire experience working with her. On our wedding day, we were honestly as excited to see Gabriella as we were our guests- she felt like a friend at that point, and she gives off the kindest, warmest and most positive vibe. Her team on the day of was wonderful- Gabriella, Sarah, and Sam documented the day so beautifully and were prepared and calm, cool, and collected throughout the entire day! Our package included mobile videos taken throughout the day which were SO perfect to document little moments and look back on and share with friends and family! We also have an anniversary session with Gabriella included with we are so excited about!! We have and will continue to recommend Gabriella to anyone and everyone!

She met with us multiple times leading up to our big day and helped give us direction for planning each step of the wedding day schedule. Her aesthetic is beautiful and warm and she was able to capture and create photos that were worthy of a wedding magazine. If you are looking for an experienced, strong, and aesthetically gifted team then Heather and her team are the people for you. I cannot thank them enough for helping us and for helping capture our day!

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!

Carrie is the absolute best. I’ve had the pleasure to work with her multiple times and she knocks it out of the park each and every time! Go with Carrie - you will not regret it !

Hey, hey my name is Ali. NY-based, but working nation-wide, I'm a wedding photographer who captures experiences, genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizes precious memories. I focus on visualizing how it felt to live your wedding day, while also crafting editorializations simply for the sake of intentional, living art. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.

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.

We could not be more thrilled with the experience we had with Meghan and her husband!!! From the second they arrived they were completely in sync with the flow of the day! During our reception they surprised us with printed sneak peek Polaroids which was such a special touch! Then just a few hours after the event Meghan sent us an entire sneak peek album that captured the whole day! Their energy was amazing and they genuinely felt like part of the family! I could not be any happier with the photos I’ve seen so far and can’t wait to see the rest of the album! Truly STUNNNNNNING photography!
