I document life, love, and every moment in between as a wedding and portrait photographer living in historical Carlisle, Pennsylvania. My heart beats for joy filled couples, playful families, and joy in the ordinary. I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as ‘awkward in front of the camera’, you can’t have too many cups of coffee in one day, and I am so thrilled you are considering me to capture such special memories! I am already dreaming about all of the heartfelt details of your story, and I cannot wait to connect with you!

We just had our wedding this past weekend and are so glad we hired Addie to take our pictures! She is the absolute sweetest person you’ll ever meet and her photos are stunning! From the beginning, Addie had amazing communication and made a schedule for the photography easily that fit our needs. She made sure to capture every family photo and other wanted photo I wrote down. She was always hyping us up and making us laugh! She sent us 11 sneak peak photos less than 24 hours after our wedding too!! We had the best time with Addie and would recommend her to everyone!

As your wedding photographer, I take on more of a documentary approach and prefer to shoot with little interruption throughout your big day. Sure there will be times where posing is necessary, but for the most part, I know just how much planning and work and detail has gone into this celebration of the start of your marriage. I will be there for you to document the connection with you and your person with your genuine, honest emotions as the focus.

Sara from Willow Roots Photography was an absolute dream to work with! From the initial emails, to the engagement shoot, to the wedding day.. she was always so down to earth and made us comfortable from start to finish. She handled my large (& pushy) family effortlessly on the wedding day for family portraits and was able to work with a busy wedding schedule to pull us aside for some sunset and starry night photos, which are so dreamy! Her "go with the flow" vibe was exactly what we needed and relieved a lot of stress for us knowing she had it covered. We've only gotten my sneak peak photos back, but we are already so in love with all the shots she got, we can't wait to see the whole gallery. Her editing style is romantic and airy, but still very true to color and timeless. Do not hesitate to book with Willow Roots!

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.

Ben Lausch Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Sanford, VA

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.

Hi, Im Dana, a photography studio owner and wedding photographer for 15 years in Berlin, MD. I love working with couples and capturing their special days as they happen. I am told often I have a calming presence and it's true, I do work well under pressure. My style blends documentary photography with expert posing when needed and I especially love working with couples who may feel awkward having their photos taken as I aim to make it a fun and enjoyable experience. I aim for timeless, emotionally rich true to color images for weddings I photograph.

Working with Dana and Joe was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our engagement shoot to the wedding, they were easygoing, incredibly professional, and so in tune with our vision. They know the area well and helped us find perfect spots for photos we’ll treasure forever. They made everyone feel comfortable and worked well with children in our wedding party to capture every moment naturally and beautifully. Their ability to keep the timeline flowing without us feeling rushed or behind was amazing. Their responsiveness made planning stress-free. The photos are absolutely stunning. Every shot felt true to us and our story. We were blown away by how effortlessly they worked-it truly felt like they were just part of our day. Affordable; talented and such a joy to work with! We have already booked them again for a family photoshoot and we can’t wait to use them for all of our future life milestones!

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

Madison's not just someone with a camera and capability, she's a photographer with a natural good eye as well. We appreciated her clean subject alignments/angles and more true-to-color editing and were very impressed by the pictures we got back from reception, where we had pretty complex indoor lighting: A whole wall of windows behind us most of the time and then dark brown ballroom lighting into the evening (@Loews Hotel). Not to mention, we asked her to minimize using flash as a personal preference and she was so receptive and remembering of that too. Communicating with her was like talking to a friend. She was responsive, engaged, and inclusive. Could go on and on, but her images speak for themselves because she is consistent both in her photography style as well as personality!

Sarah was amazing to work with! We first did our engagement photos with her and knew she was the right photographer for us. My husband is not super comfortable in front of the camera, but Sarah and Jack (her partner/second shooter) helped put him at ease for our photos! 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! Her turnaround time was also super quick, as we had all of our photos back in about 6 weeks (we also got married in September, a high volume time for her!). Can't recommend Sarah enough, we will continue to use her in the future for milestone photos!
