Hi, I'm Kelsey! I'm blessed with a loving husband, 3 kitties whom I adore & a plethora of interests. I love hiking with my husband, martial arts, playing music & singing, I'm crazy about animals, I'm absolutely fascinated by linguistics & other cultures...oh & [thanks to my hubby] I'm super nerdy (you'll see me rolling around in my limited edition Iron Man Hyundai, haha), so if you're into Star Wars, superheroes, etc., I'm sure we will get along just fine ;). What did I say about a plethora of interests? I've been doing photography passionately for at least 14 years. Any talent I have is God given and I do this all to bring fame to His name!

*Now booking for 2024!* Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Let's be real. Weddings are wonderful and powerful and amazing days, but they're also big balls of stress. The best advice I ever received was from a friend who said, "find the photographer who can capture the amazing intimate moments, but also the person who you'd want to be a fly on the wall for them." After all, you spend about as much time with your wedding photographer as you do with your new spouse. Bethany was perfect for us. She captured engagement photos so stunning, so authentic, that I wish we could get a new set every year for our family. She captured perfect (occasionally hilarious) moments at the wedding that I would have completely missed otherwise - the way a friend helped you relax by pressing down on your shoulders as you got ready, the way your cousins looked at each other during a wedding toast, the way the cabin looked, it was perfect. And she created an amazing, dramatic photo that took full advantage of the rainy weekend. She's also just fun to be with; despite the stress around us, she was ready with a little joke that helped put us at ease. I think she's one of the only photographers who really got "me" in photos - not the person I try to be, or the awkward person who is trying to smile in the photos, but the person I am. I couldn't recommend her more.

I am a full time award winning professional photographer born and raised in the Annapolis area. I photograph just 30 weddings per year, and I have photographed over 300 weddings in my 11 year career as a wedding photographer. I am truly passionate about creating images that my couples will love and have to look back on years and years from now and to share with future generations. I strive to be best friends and fierce cheerleaders of my couples, because you should not only love the photos your photographer produces, but also love the person behind the camera.

Christa Rae is hands down best wedding photographer ever. She made my socially awkward husband feel so comfortable. She was accommodating to our crazy schedule for the engagement shoot and our wedding pictures are just incredible. I cannot say enough great things about her!!! 10000/10 would recommend to a friend.

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

I've worked with this photographer a few times and each time it has been like a fairy-tale shoot. An ordinary couple, set in a scene to make heads turn as they walk by. It's truly a magical experience. And then getting the pictures back is a whole set of feelings. My shoots have been with my boyfriend and with each picture I recieved back, you could truly see the love and energy captured in time. Forever cherished memories.

Unique perspective, your satisfaction, and fun. Isn't that what its all about? I am an extrovert and love meeting new people and making friends.

Salman was impressively professional from what I have dealt with in the past. He made artistic suggestions and made me feel easy for natural portraits. He is creative and will go above and beyond to meet requirements and vision. I was very satisfied with the results and more than impressed with his post-processing skills in comparison to the original. I will hire him for my next photo shoot and have recommended him and his competitive skills to other friends.

Hi there! I am Lauren, the founder and lead photographer of Taylor'd Southern Events! I started my wedding business in 2012 and went full time as a wedding photographer in 2016 and i've never looked back! Getting to celebrate couples on their wedding day is one of the most rewarding jobs! My main focus is weddings and boudoir. I have traveled all over for weddings! A little about me. I am originally from Florida and relocated to Los Angeles for 4 years due to my husbands job. And now have relocated again to Maryland. I am adventurous, outgoing, love a good netflix binge, and my love language is cooking for others

Lauren was incredible to work with. She has great communication leading up to the wedding and made the day seamless. She knew there would be delays in our planned schedule and helped us navigate them with ease. The engagement and wedding photos she did for us are amazing and beyond what we could have asked for. I highly recommend her!

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700

We love working with smart, light hearted, fun, and easy going people. Searching out natural light wherever possible we take an energetic and vibrant approach to photography. We stay true to who we are by maintaining a creative vision throughout your wedding day.

We first met Wendy a few weeks before our wedding to do a walkthrough of the venue, and instantly fell in love with her. We knew right away that she would be a dream to work with on our wedding day, and we were right! Wendy and Liz made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and kept us laughing and giggling right from the very beginning. The photos were so amazing! They were clear and beautiful and there was a wonderful balance of both candid and posed photos that captured the details of the day. We got pregnant soon after getting married and when our son was born, there was not a second of hesitation in choosing Wendy for our newborn photos. Once again, Wendy and Liz showed up with the same positive and high energy attitudes that we experienced on our wedding day, and the photos captured our son Charlie perfectly. We have since done a mini-shoot for holiday cards and another newborn photo shoot. Every time, Alex and I have to debate over which picture is the BEST to use because there are so many great ones. Beware - if you do a mini-shoot you will want to buy all of the photos :) Wendy and Liz are fun, passionate, caring and patient. They will do anything to get the perfect shot and put you completely at ease. They have been such an integral part of capturing important moments in our family from day one. Hopefully you will get to experience the same pleasure of working with them that we have.

Millersville, MD
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Your world collided with ours because you are marrying the love of your life and now you need someone to document it in a way that will last for generations to come! We want your timeless memories to be shown to kids, then grandkids, and their kids and so on! The family tree is growing and we love being a part of that! We are suckers for the groom's face when he first sees his bride, for the dads trying to hold back tears, for the moments that make the wedding day the best day ever!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer that will provide you with THE BEST magazine quality pictures, look no farther! After canceling our wedding 2 times due to Covid, Matt & I discussed the possibility of eloping to Jackson Hole, WY. I knew that Bob & Jamie have visited there enough to claim it as their 2nd home (lol) so I reached out for some advice/recommendations regarding the area & eloping. They not only offered a ton of knowledge about Jackson, they said they were available to travel and shoot our wedding. We booked them right away!!! They helped Matt & I EVERY step of the way. I said I wanted to be married inside in front of a large stone fireplace and have pictures taken outside with the snow covered mountains afterwards. They immediately went to work searching for hotels with stone fireplaces & locations (yes, multiple) for scenic wedding photos. Once those decisions were made, they helped select a restaurant for wedding dinner and plan our excursions. Bob even offered to be the tour guide for our snowmobile trip to Granite Hot Springs. These two went way above and beyond wedding photographers! Our wedding day was truly a dream come true (Hallmark movie worthy) and I can’t thank Jamie enough for capturing every part of it. She left no stone unturned. When we received the preview pics, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. The photos were even better than I had hoped. She made us look like we were on a magazine cover! Northern Lights Photography was part of what made our elopement special

Residing on a country road, nestled between Washington, DC and Annapolis, MD, I can't help but pinch myself daily that I get to do what I love for a living. When I'm not capturing the love stories of the awesome couples I get to work with, you can find me loving every minute of life with my bald-headed husband, our sweet baby girl, and our big-eared pup.

Erin was absolutely STELLAR. PHENOMENAL from start to finish. Couldn't have been more impressed or pleased with her on my wedding day. She worked so hard to get amazing shots, all the pics I asked for, and even some I wouldn't have thought of. Can't wait to see the results, I know they will be amazing. 3

Goksydephotography

Glen Burnie, MD
  • Starts at $3,250

Photography has always been in the family; my mum has always been fascinated by pictures and she ensured she had a camera (small ones) as often as possible. My professional journey, however, started over 4 years ago. I started by photographing my wife for her blog, next, the kiddos, and then moved on to events, weddings, and studio photography. It has been an amazing journey, constantly learning, improving, and guaranteeing every client gets the “Goksyde Experience”.

I will choose Goksydephotography over and over again personally and professionally as an event producer. There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo that Goke snaps. He has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions.

Dagment Photography
Crofton, MD
  • Photojournalistic style

Passion is what drives me in photography and real people and real moments evoke that passion. I yearn to connect with people I work with on a personal level. My goal is to make everyone I work with as comfortable as possible. The less of me you see the better! I want the photo to be derived from real, true emotion. So emitting myself as much as possible helps keep the genuine spirit of you and the moment front and center. The more you can simply enjoy your surroundings, free of worry about the fact that your photo is being taken, the better the imagery will be. If you have an interest in working together I would love to hear from you.

We had an excellent experience working with Timeless Photo Video. They have a very easy-to-follow process and made planning much less stressful. We actually were not satisfied with the first photographer they paired us with, and their coordinator was super responsive and helpful in getting us paired with someone else. Their editing style is beautiful and fresh - not over the top (which we did not want), and their turnaround time on our photos and video was second-to-none after our day. We perceived great value in working with them and would 10/10 recommend!

We absolutely loved Jen and Jeremy. They listened to what I wanted and didn’t go over board with the “corney” pics. I put my wedding together in 5 months, so I leaned on them for picture inspiration and I’m glad I did!! The day started as they went to my husbands house first to take pics and Jen literally put boutonnières on every guy there. They got to our house and took pics of everything I asked for plus more. Jen helped put my veil on a few times during the day, and just made sure I was looking good. They were attentive and really did a great job, we all had a lot of good laughs that day! They’re super funny, have awesome personalities and are just really good people.. not to mention they work magic!! I got my pics back and couldn’t be happier, they really showcase our story and how perfect our day was. I would recommend them time and time again!!

  • Serves Shady Side, MD

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I (and our families) are pleased to give 5 stars to Nina for her professionalism, creativity, and wiliness to give us memories from our day that will last a lifetime. She was knowledgeable about the customs and traditions and reverence required to capture a Catholic mass; she knew how to be sure to capture the moments, without distracting from the importance of the Sacrament. I've been to many weddings where all you see is the photographer, but she was able to get the shot without disturbing the elements of the day. She had such patience and flexibility with our very large families, making sure we completed our shot-list and still had time to enjoy the smaller intimate (less posed) moments together. I was not a bride that had a particularly detailed vision of the shots I wanted, mostly we wanted her to capture the party, the joy, the enjoyment. I would (and have) recommended Nina to friends. She's easy to work with, gives good direction to those brides and grooms (like us) with less creative direction then others. She's very willing to give anything a try (she even got on the ground for us so we could take an upshot of us holding hands, one of my now-favorite pictures of the day). She was reasonable, flexible, and upfront about budget and costs. Nothing was a surprise as far as cost and she turned the photos around in a very timely manner. Absolutely recommend and I hope to be able to use her services for other events in our lives in the future. (Wedding June 10, 2023)

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Isaac was great during our engagement shoot! We were very nervous about the shoot but he made us feel totally comfortable. He took photos in a variety of poses, backdrops, etc and showed us the photos along the way to see what we liked and didn't like. We both feel much better going into the wedding now!

Our bright, colorful & crisp photography style provides our clients with timeless images that will be forever cherished.When I am not working, I enjoy drinking wine, trying new breweries, traveling to the New Jersey shore with my husband & family, watching Harry Potter for the millionth time, & cuddling with our three adopted dogs.

Awarded Best of Zola
There will not be enough words to express my sincere appreciation for this woman. We booked a photographer right after we found our venue. It was a priority for me that we find the perfect person to capture these memories for us. I easily emailed a hundred photographers and finally Andrea was the first I spoke with over the phone. It was an easy decision to choose her after our first interaction with her and she provided so much more than we expected. Not only is she extremely talented and detail oriented, but she probably has the most fitting personality for someone you want by your side on this important day. She is someone I would vent to off the bat, she is extremely personable, funny and highly organized. She captured details that I didn’t even think about. She was easily my crutch this entire day and had to listen to me more than any other vendor. She went above and beyond. Minor things inevitably went wrong and she stepped in to make them easier. You'll have things that you may wish you could have done differently, but our decision for photography was absolutely not one of them. I could go on and on, but there aren’t enough words. I received a tremendous amount of compliments and statements about how amazing she was. EVERYONE loved her and her energy. We have been married for almost 9 months now and we still get compliments on her when talking about the wedding. Long story short! Having amazing wedding vendors will make your day so much more special. You will not regret choosing Andrea.

Awarded Best of Zola
We have worked with Sarah a few times and have thoroughly enjoyed all of our times with her! She had done two couple sessions and we loved her work so much, we decided to hire her for our wedding portraits. My family and I were pleased with the entire process. We had a few changes after our first inquiry; from choosing to elope, location change, then needing to reschedule due to a family member being sick. Sarah was flexible with the changes and made it work!! She had a makeup artist she referred me to as well! Sarah captured our vibes perfectly and we would not have done it any other way. She was professional, friendly, and overall great to be around! We cannot wait to hire her again in the future.

My philosophy is pretty simple: tell the most amazing love stories through photographs that capture true love, real emotion and beautiful moments. As a photographer, my job is to tell your love story the way that it unfolds. I believe in preserving the moment with artistry and authenticity. I want your photographs to be timeless and beautiful. From the big moments to the subtle details, I give each element equal attention and care. If it matters to you, it’s important to me, and that commitment will shine through in every image.

You absolutely cannot go wrong with Kylie! Picking her (and her team) was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Kylie is so calm and relaxed that it made our wedding day that much more enjoyable. She is so responsive and will go out of her way to make every detail is thought out before the big day. Oh and not to mention--Her photography is perfection! We adore our photo's and our album that Kylie took the time to create for us. Any big event--whether it be a wedding, engagement, Kylie will be able to capture it perfectly!

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Andrea and her team have all been incredible to work with! I knew photography was one of my top "no skimp" areas and Andrea was able to capture everything we wanted! Many of our extended family were not able to attend our ceremony due to COVID, but were able to "experience" everything through the photos we shared. From engagement shoot, to bridal portraits, to actual wedding, to even an extra shoot after the wedding in the mountains--her talent and skill is beyond anyone else I have seen! Even my husband (who does not love to be photographed) feels comfortable during our sessions and agrees she is worth every penny and more! We love her and will definitely continue to work with her for years to come!

If I could give Grace and her assistant 10 stars I would! Our wedding was very low key with no day of coordinator, etc. Grace and her assistant helped my husband and I navigate the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anji and Pete exceeded our expectations in every way! Having interviewed other wedding photographers for weeks, we immediately felt comfortable with them. We worked with them for our engagement photoshoot, followed by our week-long Indian wedding. We told them the general look we wanted for our engagement shoot and they were able to find a location close to us. For our wedding week, they both made sure that they understood our vision for each event and knew exactly what we wanted to capture. It was most important to us that our photos looked natural and not too staged/posed. And we're so glad that we came across them because that is exactly their style. During our wedding week, they both felt more like an extension to our family/bridal party. We are very happy with all of our photos: formal portraits as well as candid shots with family and friends. 10/10 would recommend them!

It was important to me to not spend the whole day taking pictures, as I truly wanted to be in the moment and enjoy my wedding day.

We wanted to have that documentary/candid style of photography that captured all of our raw, cheesy, ugly laughing moments and Kay did just that.

Hello Bride to be! This is such an exciting time for you! I'm Abbe and I am excited to get to know you! I'm a wedding & portrait photographer based outside of Philadelphia, serving Pennsylvania, New jersey, New York, Maryland, Virginia, DC and all of the nation! I believe getting to know my clients is the #1 way to ensure an awesome experience! My mission is to serve you with a joyful and abundant heart! I believe even the little moments should never be taken for granted and you should ALWAYS follow your dreams.

We first hired Abbe (on a whim, based on online reviews) to take our engagement photos in Philadelphia, and it was an amazing experience! She made us feel incredibly comfortable, and she was flexible in terms of location. We initially considered taking photos by the water, but we realized we wouldn't have enough time to walk over to catch the sunset, so we did the shoot in Elfreth's Alley and it was perfect. Abbe was so friendly and fun and took the time to get to know us. She made us feel like we'd already known her for years. She was also really COVID-conscious knowing that I was at high risk; she managed to keep distance while still getting great shots of us. We loved working with Abbe for our engagement photos so much that we decided to hire her right off the bat as our wedding photographer as well! Abbe has a variety of wedding packages but she made a custom package for us because we had a tighter budget and specific needs (e.g., we live in New York, we didn't need a second shooter, etc.). Because we had an out-of-town wedding, we paid a hotel fee for her as well but she was really thoughtful in trying to get a lower-cost option. It really meant a lot to us. Her communication is always timely and efficient. We had so many questions, but Abbe was VERY patient and answered them all, always putting our needs and concerns first. Before the wedding, she had a long call with us to iron out details of the big day. We had a really tight timeline and it initially seemed impossible that we would be able to fit everything in — but Abbe made it happen! She was right on time on wedding day and got to work immediately. You can tell that Abbe is an expert in wedding shoots and has done this hundreds of times over. She took more than a thousand photos total and captured all of the shots we wanted. If you're camera-shy, don't worry — Abbe will tell you exactly what to do! She will fluff up your dress, she'll personally hold onto your lipstick so it's ready whenever you need it, and she will make sure you glow in all of the photos. She also has a photo questionnaire to make sure she has everyone's names down. She does her best photography work during the daytime, with natural lighting. (We were in an indoor venue with low lighting so our nighttime photos were taken with flash, but they were very clear and bright.) Abbe is incredibly energetic and fun to be around. She has a very dry sense of humor and cracks a lot of jokes, which as a couple we often enjoyed and found to be entertaining. Because we'd worked with Abbe during our engagement, it felt really nice to have her on our wedding day, someone we were already familiar with who was able to guide us through a nerve-wracking but exciting day. Overall, we really loved Abbe's work and we're so glad we got to work with her as our engagement and wedding photographer. We highly recommend doing both with her!

Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

After speaking to a dozen or so photographers, we had pretty much given up. It seemed like no one was actually willing to work with us on what we were looking for, and were very rigid with the packages they offer. Enter...Hannah. Talking to Hannah immediately made me feel like I was chatting with an old friend. She really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Our engagement session was so much fun, and we couldn't wait until our big day. Matt and Hannah's team was absolutely amazing! They got all of the shots we wanted plus so much more! Anyone that talked with them at the wedding said how sweet and personable they are! Then came the video...and I STILL cry every time we watch it. If you are looking for a company that will listen AND deliver - this team is for you!

If you’re looking for someone to make you feel your absolute best, super comfortable, and give some direction - you’re in the right place. Nicole and I would not have been happier with the choice to book Steve for our engagement/wedding photos and video. We were nervous and uncomfortable with posing and stressing out about how we would look in our photos, but he did his absolute best to make it super fun and stress free. We look at these photos and are still in shock at how beautiful we felt and how much fun we had. He communicated with us every step of the way and took the time to understand and execute our vision. We wanted a couples handshake stop motion … seems a little out there, right? Well … he made it happen and I’m still crying over it today. We had a few photos to swoon over as soon as a few hours later(to hold us over), and the rest came super quickly as well. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. There is only one answer here - book Steve for your photo & video needs if you’re looking for the best experience out there

If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

Darcy was a pleasure to work with! She was so accommodating and informative throughout the process. I did a lot of our wedding planning at the last minute and I have never had professional photos done so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but Darcy walked me through the wedding day and made sure that we had a clear plan. She was also very patient with all of my last minute changes to the schedule.

She is extremely talented and brought her extensive photojournalism experience, professionalism, and positive energy to capture our wedding day. She handled a rainy outdoor ceremony situation with ease, taking the weather as an opportunity for some unique and memorable shots. She also stuck with us after the reception as the sun came out to catch some incredible light soaked moments. Throughout the day, she was amazing with our guests, keeping things moving swiftly so folks didn't get too cold, and helping some of the more camera-shy (including me, the bride) feel at ease. I love that she took the time to meet with us beforehand and get to know us, learn more about our family and guests, understand our style preferences, as well as offer some expert advice on how the day could go. She also walked us through the final photos and gave us some behind the scenes technical insight which was a really nice way to revisit the day. It's clear she is passionate about photography and loves what she does. Her enthusiasm is contagious and we're so glad she was the one to photograph our day. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos and highly recommend Sharon Natoli to any DC/Maryland area couples!

Little did we know how skilled he is at turning even boring staged photos into really beautiful shots. He kept us relaxed, directed us well, and was super efficient. We barely noticed him throughout the event as he snuck around taking pictures and the shots did not disappoint. Our friends remarked that he was truly all over the place, doing the work of multiple people.

She made sure to touch base with us shortly before the big day to make sure everything was ready to go, and she had extremely thorough planning tools to make sure everything we needed was accounted for. We're also very glad that Meghan did our engagement shoot too; it made the wedding day go so much smoother to already have that in-person relationship. When Meghan arrived in the wedding suite it was like a friend was walking in. She and her team were extremely helpful and fun to work with throughout the entire day. And, of course, the photographs are absolutely incredible.

This was my first time using a professional photographer so I had some expectations but also didn't know what to fully expect. Annemarie set the bar here. Her photos are beautiful (hard to pick which ones to frame) but what stuck with me was how calm and on top of things she was the whole day. She made both my husband and I feel so comfortable (and he doesn't like having his photos taken) that I could not have imagined anyone else with us on our wedding day. If you are looking for a talented and trusted photographer who truly listens to you, I cannot recommend Annemarie enough.

Jon took surprise proposal pictures for my now fiancé and I and we could not be happier with the photos! Jon is extremely service oriented and quick to respond which I really appreciated as it took a lot of the stress out of the planning process. The photos were absolutely gorgeous and he will also help you to plan your special day out/help with ideas to get the perfect scenic background. He even picked up flowers for my fiancé the night before so that he could bring them to the proposal for me without ruining the surprise! I can’t recommend Jon enough!

**We are new to Zola but not new wedding photographers.** Banker Creative is a small business consisting of myself Joe, and my wife Ashley. We are a Husband + Wife Creative Team that specializes in documenting weddings. We call Ohio home, but we are grateful to have the opportunity to continue to capture weddings all over the country.

Joe had great communication, fair pricing, and made our day completely stress free and relaxed. My fiancé and I had never had professional pictures, after getting our prints back we are absolutely amazed how they turned out. Joe had great ideas for location, and took a gray, cold, snowy day in Cleveland and made it look beautiful. We are so thankful for him and Ashley for their skill, time, and effort to make sure we loved our photos.

I started working as a photographer because I'm passionate about helping people showcase who they are and what they have to offer. I work to remove myself from the equation and let my clients take the spotlight. It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

Michael is the ultimate second shooter! An amazing wedding PIC, so supportive, the biggest cheerleader for all parties involved vendors and otherwise, and HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. He gets the best angles and gives such an artistic POV while also just being a blast to work with. I wish I could force him on all my weddings lol

Awarded Best of Zola
Before the wedding Taytra had us fill out a questionnaire asking what was important to us for the day and what was our vibe. She fully captured what we wanted and the essence of our day. We’re so lucky that we had her there to capture it. We’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the photos are and how it felt like us. I cannot recommend her enough.

Villa Li Photography

Centreville, VA
  • Editorial style

  • Serves Shady Side, MD

I'm a visual enthusiast with a degree in Arts Management. My style is mostly photojournalistic, embracing natural and romantic elements. In each wedding, my aim is to craft something different and unique, capturing a set of storytelling moments that reflect the essence of the day. What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

Villa is simply amazing! Despite some last-minute changes with our venue, Villa remained flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. Her pricing is very reasonable considering the exceptional quality of her work. Not only did she capture many beautiful candid moments, but she also played a crucial role in organizing the set shots. We shared our vision for our wedding in a phone call with her in our first meeting, and she executed it flawlessly. I cannot recommend Villa enough, if you're looking to receive hundreds of stunning photos that make you want to print and frame each one of them!!!

I'm a laid back, upbeat and silly (some might say incredibly funny, but whatever) person with a penchant for making everyone feel like an old friend. I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rachel is so great to work with! Her fun personality always keeps the day moving smoothly with a laugh and a kind heart. Rachel cares about her clients comfort, always there to go the extra mile for what they need, whether it's a drink, a cooling fan, or a reminder of how amazing they look. I've enjoyed working with her as my second photographer and am always impressed with the creative moments she captures. Highly recommend!
