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!

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.

I cannot recommend Dana Marie Photography enough! I found Dana Marie Photography on Google a few years ago and I’ve been going to her ever since. Dana was also my wedding photographer in 2023. She's able to capture relationships and moments so well. I always get excited for my sessions with her and cannot wait to see the final product. Book Dana Marie Photography, you will not regret it.

  • Serves Sanford, VA

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

We found Sara after requesting vendor recommendations from several venues we were considering, and she was listed on multiple lists - which felt like a great sign. When I checked out her Instagram, I immediately loved her style: vibrant, comfortable, classic, timeless, and incredibly detail oriented. I noticed she was going on maternity leave and wasn’t sure if our date would work with her schedule, so I felt incredibly fortunate when it did. From our very first phone call, Sara was authentic, fun, and a true ray of sunshine. What stood out most was how she checked in on me and our wedding planning as a whole (not just the photography side) which immediately showed how much she genuinely cared about me and our day. She was also so generous with vendor recommendations, including the planner who ultimately helped bring our entire vision to life. Leading up to the wedding, Sara was responsive and worked closely with my planner, which meant I never once worried about anything photography related. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond, capturing everything we could have hoped for, from flat lays and getting ready moments to the details of our tablescapes, décor, and even open dancing - all while being a new mom! She captured the details of our day with such efficiency and intention that I was able to truly live in the moment and spend time with our guests, which was incredibly important to me and speaks volumes about her experience. Her sneak peeks were delivered unbelievably fast, and our full gallery came just as quickly... both far sooner than expected while still done so beautifully and thoroughly. Sara is truly a gem, both as a person and as a photographer. We are endlessly grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough. Hire Sara for any photography needs, you will be so glad you did!

We just received our wedding photos back from our October wedding in Frederick, MD and are absolutely in love!! From our engagement session to our wedding, each photographer we worked with was fantastic and managed to capture the magic and emotions of each day perfectly On top of that, the editing of each photo was done so beautifully! The photos are soft yet colors are vibrant, and I just can't say enough good things about Brandi and her fabulous team! The ONLY thing I will say is that communication could have been a bit better. For our engagement shoot, we were told last minute that the individual we thought would be taking our photos had changed. We ended up loving them and their work though, and they were supposed to be the lead photographer for the wedding which we were happy with. Close to the wedding, I checked in to see who the 2nd photographer would be, and was told the lead photographer we were expecting was no longer with the company. Again, both photographers ended up being amazing, but I would have appreciated being told of the change prior to me reaching out and inquiring. Lastly, our photos were late due to server issues which were causing very slow uploads. That alone wasn't a huge issue, but I wasn't notified about what was going on until I followed up the following day. All of that being said, aside from the few issues with communication, each photographer we worked with was wildly talented and such a joy to be around. All of that paired with the gorgeous finished products we received more than made up for the minor issue we experienced with receiving updates and we will be forever grateful

Hi, I am Ta'Tra. Most call me Tay, I perform all my own stunts, I believe in the magic of creation and I absolutely love my job! I'm a quiet force on your biggest days capturing and enhancing moments as they unfold. I specialize in portraits, lifestyle photography, and weddings!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tay is an absolutely phenomenal photographer, and I feel so blessed and honored that we chose her to capture our wedding. From our very first Zoom call, Tay radiated warmth and approachability. She not only listened but genuinely understood my vision and experience—often more than I did, which made me feel so at ease. She became a safe space in the whirlwind of wedding planning, and that sense of trust and comfort was invaluable as we prepared to capture the most important moments of our lives. I was very particular about the photographic style I wanted for our wedding. It was important to me that the images felt natural—like anyone looking at them could feel as though they were right there with us. I also wanted crisp, high-quality photos, and Tay delivered all of that and more. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning. On the wedding day, Tay and her team were incredible. Tay was like a shadow in the best way possible—always present but never intrusive. There were times I’d think, “Where is she?” only to realize later that she was exactly where she needed to be, capturing every moment flawlessly. At other times, it felt like she and her team were right in the mix, blending in so seamlessly with our family and friends. They made it so easy for Jeff and me to stay in the moment and be fully present throughout the day. The experience and expertise Tay brought to the table were worth every penny. I’m so grateful my sister recommended her to us, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any bride who wants to look back on her wedding day and feel nothing but magic. One thing I do wish we had done—and something I highly recommend to any future bride and groom—is taking the engagement photo shoot. We booked Tay about five or six months before our wedding but had already done an engagement shoot with a friend, so we kept putting it off until it never happened. Looking back, I realize how valuable that experience would’ve been. It would’ve helped us prepare better for the family photo sessions and be more conscious of certain poses, like during our first kiss. While our photos are still breathtaking, I believe the engagement shoot would’ve given us that extra edge of confidence and familiarity, which is one of its biggest benefits.

Growing up in Egypt, near the great Pyramids, has inspired my eyes to capture great moments that last for life time. I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories

From the moment we reached out to SGJ Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was professional, excellent, and easygoing, putting us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, the SGJ team captured every special moment with fantastic, high-quality photos that showcased all the fine touches we had worked so hard to plan. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend SGJ Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photography team to document their big day.

I have used Mak for years and she has captured every special moment I have encountered! Mak radiates positivity and excitement with every session! Every session I have had with Mak, I have always felt comfortable and confident. I always receive my images quickly and they are ALWAYS beyond perfect!
