Kate Fine Art Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

In 2003 I began my career in photography with the Maryland Film Office in Baltimore and photographed my first wedding in 2004 with my sister-in-law. I was in love! In 2007 I decided to go full time with wedding photography. I moved out west to apprentice with veteran wedding photographers in Las Vegas and Los Angeles to master studio lighting and posing techniques. I began working full time as a wedding photographer in Annapolis under my own company in 2009. Since then, I have met hundreds of amazing couples. When I'm not photographing a wedding, you can most likely find me on a mountain or the Chesapeake Bay with my family...camera in hand.

Kate is a super talented and professional photographer and we’re so happy we chose her for our wedding. From day one Kate was responsive, professional and super easy to work with. We had our wedding in Greece, and despite the language barrier, Kate connected with our wedding planner to ensure that everything went seamlessly. She asked questions and was very engaged making sure she knew every detail of the photo timeline. She even typed out an email in Greek to our wedding planner somehow!! We were very hands off and gave her complete creative control, and she was amazing! On the day of our wedding Kate showed up and went above and beyond, capturing all of the important moments, with little to no direction from us on our big day. We received the sneak peak shots very quickly after the wedding and we absolutely loved them! We are so happy with our decision to work with Kate and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, professional photographer!

Technically my name is Alexandra, but my friends all call me Alex. I shot my first wedding in 2015- and immediately knew I had found my calling. Now, with four years of experience under my belt, I still pinch myself that I get to do this as my JOB! Pinning the boutonniere on your dad, reminding your bridesmaids to remove the hair ties from their wrists, and maybe even jumping on the dance floor when the Cha Cha slide comes on (it is my JAM.) I truly take my job as your bonus bridesmaid to heart. All the while, capturing beautiful images full of LIFE that tell the story of your wedding day.

Alex is AMAZING! Our wedding photos turned out exactly how we wanted. We can't stop looking at them. She not only gave us beautiful photos and memories but was the BEST person to spend the day with. She helped make sure our wedding ran smoothly and was so fun to be around. My husband and I don't love taking pictures, but Alex made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we had so much fun. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Alex!!!

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

There are not enough words to express how incredible Lindsay and Nathan are. Recommended to us by a friend, Lindsay and Nathan were the perfect fit for us as wedding photographers. From our very first call to our wedding day, Lindsay and Nathan couldn’t have been more professional. They are willing to do anything to make your vision come to life. From traveling, to building an effective timeline, clear and frequent communication, and incredible planning, they made our wedding day a dream. Going into this experience, my husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera. Lindsay and Nathan helped to make us feel comfortable and confident. As a result, we have photos of our engagement and wedding that truly capture who we are. Lindsay and Nathan’s work is truly unmatched. We received our entire engagement album within a week, photos to share from our wedding the very next day, a sneak peek of our wedding album within 72 hours, and our full wedding album within a week of our wedding. The day of our wedding, it felt like I was working with a close friend. Lindsay was encouraging and calming during any stressful moments that arose and truly helped to make the day run smoothly. I am genuinely grateful for both Lindsay and Nathan’s time, creative energy, and work. They are passionate about what they do and it shows. I could not recommend Lindsay Eileen Photography enough. They are an absolute dream to work with!

My partner and I reached out to Xiao for an elopement photo shoot after we got our marriage license. Xiao is always prompt in her responses and offered seamless communication. As newbies, we were a bit confused about the steps on how to get the license, although it was not her job, Xiao gave us many tips. Our elopement photoshoot date was a bit rainy. Xiao offered a few indoor photoshoot spot options. We ultimately went with the Library of Congress, and Xiao even helped us reserve the tickets. Xiao instructed us on how to pose when we felt a bit awkward. We had so many random funny encounters with other visitors at Library of Congress and they gave us many compliments. Xiao went above and beyond to mark sure the day was special for us and that the photoshoot felt personal and fun. My partner is usually camera shy but he eventually opened up. The photos also turned around super quick. The photos came out beautiful although it was a gloomy day. We picked out a dozen photos of our choice two days after the photoshoot and Xiao made the edits turn around super smoothly. Highly recommend booking her to make your special day memorable as well!

Krista was an absolute joy to work with! On our first introduction call, Krista provided a sample day-of-wedding timeline and we immediately knew she was the photographer we wanted to work with. Her attention to detail is impeccable and everything was thought about prior to the wedding which made the planning process and the wedding day run so smooth. Prior to the wedding, Krista took the time to get to know me and my husband which made taking pictures on the wedding day feel extremely comfortable and natural. On the wedding day, while taking pictures, we stayed on timeline and did not run late. Our wedding party and parents were so impressed with how we kept to our schedule while taking pictures. When we received our wedding photos a few weeks after the wedding, we could not stop looking at them! The lighting was perfect and the poses looked so natural. Krista and her partner did an amazing job. We highly recommend using Krista as a wedding photographer and my family will definitely be using her in the future for additional photography needs.

I believe you should be present on your wedding day, not rushing through a timeline just to check boxes. That's why our goal is to provide our couples with a photography experience that allows you to be fully present so that you can truly have the time of your life celebrating with your people, laugh your way through pictures, and dance the night away with your best friends. In the end, your wedding images should be a direct reflection of the memories you made, not moments that were forced.

As both a bride and a former wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Kaytlyn enough! From the very beginning, she was a dream to work with — professional, responsive, and so easygoing. We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor. If you’re a bride looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, capture your day beautifully, and handle everything with professionalism, look no further — Kaytlyn is the one!

Hi there, I'm Rachel, a portrait and wedding photographer based in Washington DC and NYC. With a BFA in Photography and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master's degree in Film Studies from the University of Edinburgh, I have spent over 15 years honing my skills and deepening my understanding of photography as an art form. When I'm not behind the camera, I’m often delving into the world of mid-century design, watching films and going on hikes with my husband, Jamie.

We couldn’t be happier with Rachel and her expertise in shooting our wedding!! My/husband's details came together last minute and Rachel was patient and thorough throughout it all. Our setting went from forest to under a tent with inclement weather and Rachel was still able to get incredible shots. I couldn’t be more pleased with her work and style. I would highly recommend her and would love for our family to use her for future events! Thanks so much for everything Rachel!!!

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to shoot our wedding. Bekky was not only super professional, but was kind and funny. She listened to all of our wants and needs, and helped us to capture the best moments. With such a chaotic day that flew by, I was excited to see all of the little details that I didn't get the chance to take in during the day. Our pictures turned out more beautiful than I could have ever expected. I will use Bekky for all of my future events.

I can’t say enough about Mellisa. She did a truly AMAZING job at our wedding! Not only did she capture our big day so wonderfully but she also made sure I was well taken care of from the start to the end. Mellisa is also very good at finding the perfect angle right away, which tells you how talented she is as a photoprapher. I used her pictures for our Christmas cards and I received SO MANY compliments!! I also used her work to create a wedding photo album, which I gifted to my parents-in-law, and they were very impressed and moved. Her photos capture and deliver even the subtle emotions of people, and that allows us to relive our unforgettable wedding day. Her work definitely touches many people’s hearts and I can’t thank her enough for it! Being able to work with her was absolutely one of the best decisions I made for my wedding and I HIGHLY recommend her. Don’t look for any further!

You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience. I strive to create a fun, laid back environment that will help produce the most authentic photos for your Southern California or destination wedding. I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Sam captured the most amazing photos for our wedding. Photos that make you wonder “how did he even do that”. His work goes so much further than the clicking of a camera. His own artistic expression was a gift to the entire event. And the professionalism he brought forth before, during, and after the event makes everything very simple to track, purchase, and share. If I could, I would use Sam’s photography skills at every life event.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

I specialize in wedding and branding photography that celebrates connection, color, and storytelling. My love for photography started young — with a Polaroid sticker camera and a stack of disposable film rolls. What began as a childhood obsession grew into a lifelong passion for capturing emotion and artistry in every frame. I’m a curly-headed, Old Bay-loving, caffeine-dependent Marylander with a soft spot for Southern charm (and a colorful Lilly Pulitzer print or two).

I’m Aleyna, a South Georgia native who’s been living in Baltimore for the past eight years. I’ve always loved photography — in fact, I got my first 35mm camera when I was nine years old. I’ve since graduated from light leaks and lens smudges to DSLR and, now, mirrorless photography. Professionally, I’ve shot photos for the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, the Georgia Southern University Honors College, and for various weddings and events as a freelance photographer. My travel photos have been used widely across the internet, and I've been featured in an F-Stop Magazine group exhibition.

Truly there are not enough nice things to say about Aleyna!!!! First of all, I really appreciated how transparent her prices were. It's all there on zola and her website. Nothing hidden or sneaky or added on later - her prices are not only exactly as advertised but criminally reasonable. When it comes to something like an engagement shoot (which is what we hired Aleyna for), she was able to capture the ideal balance between staying true to her own style as a photographer and achieving the vision we had in mind for our photos. She met us at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore and it felt both like a professional photo shoot and like a fun afternoon at my favorite museum. She followed us around, chatted with us, and captured a ridiculous amount of high-quality photos. And the photos... the photos!!!!! Seriously they came out like artwork! When I first looked at them I felt like I should be looking at them in the museum! She gave us so many perfect, stunning photos that were even better than the Pinterest board I showed her. Originally I planned on selecting a few stand out photos from the shoot and keeping the rest digital, but she did such a fabulous amazing show-stopping incredible job that I plan on making them into a photo book and using it as a guest book for the wedding. My Maid of Honor is using them as decor for the bridal shower. They're all over the website. People who see them GASP! TL;DR I am obsessed with the photos that Aleyna gave me and going forward will be hiring her anytime I need a photographer (don't mind me just googling excuses to hire a photographer). Please book Aleyna immediately and never look back!!!!!!!!

A Washington DC area (Maryland, Virginia) and destination wedding and lifestyle photographer. My approach to photography is extremely artistic, photojournalistic and arguably cinematic. With every shot I take I’m constantly thinking of new ways to creatively tell your story using unconventional techniques and unique angles, while creating that captivating feeling of presence when viewing your photos. My goal is to preserve your special moments by creating romantic, yet visually striking imagery to be enjoyed for years to come.

Kanayo is a consummate professional. I was so pleased with his work for our engagement and wedding, that I've hired him for office shoots at my business. What I enjoy most about Kanayo's work is his masterful blend of skill and artistry. Rest assured that your photos will be, at once, both critically excellent and perfectly unique. Kanayo is my go to for all photography needs. Brent

With a fine art background and over a decade in the industry, I approach each celebration with intentionality, care, and a quiet presence that allows you to stay fully immersed in your day. Serving couples across Philadelphia, New York, D.C., and beyond, I create timeless, editorial-style imagery that reflects the depth of your love and the elegance of the experience you’ve so thoughtfully curated. This is wedding photography designed to feel effortless, meaningful, and enduring—heirlooms you’ll return to, long after the last toast has been made.

There are many things that can go wrong in your wedding, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Elizabeth Kane Photography was one thing that was absolutely the BEST CHOICE we made for our Disney wedding! From beginning to end, Elizabeth was not only working as our photographer but was also making sure we developed a friendship to further build trust that we were in amazing hands. She traveled all the way from California to Orlando for our wedding and even went above and beyond her "behind the lens" duty to help with other areas of our wedding day! Honestly, long story short, words cannot describe how grateful we were (still are) that we chose Elizabeth for our wedding day. It was seriously the best day ever and she captured everything so perfectly; now, we'll have it all beautifully captured forever.

After 13 years in the wedding photography industry, and with over 400 weddings in their vault, the excitement and joy of a wedding day are never lost on this Mother/Daughter photography team. Maggie and Betty are known for their timeless & honest images, attention to detail, and personalized approach to each and every wedding they photograph.

Words cannot express how grateful we are to Maggie and Betty at Birds of a Feather for everything they did to make our wedding such a success. From the minute we first met with them, we really felt like they cared about us as a couple. Not only is their photography spectacular, but they were truly a joy to work with and made everything smooth and seamless from beginning to end. We had a blast taking our engagement photos and felt so relaxed with them on our wedding day. We can’t imagine having spent the day with anyone else, and are looking when we can work together again.
