Bellwether Events 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

As owner and lead wedding planner, Janice has her hands on every Bellwether wedding. She’s a logistical virtuoso with crazy-high standards. She’s never met a detail she couldn’t wrangle or a problem she couldn’t solve. You can always expect Janice to keep it real — a communication style you’ll be thankful for when dealing with budgets, wedding day mania, and drunk Uncle Ted.

My husband and I found Janice through her blog and were drawn to her transparency about an industry that can often feel opaque and hard to navigate. We met with two other potential planners, but we decided to follow our initial instinct and put our trust in Janice. She did not disappoint! Janice kept the entire planning process incredibly organized and did an amazing job of finding vendors that aligned with our (sometimes very specific) vision. Anytime we started to feel overwhelmed, Janice was ready with a detailed timeline, polite-but-firm reminder emails, and a very encouraging attitude. Janice was also very receptive and enthusiastic about helping us incorporate important cultural elements into our day that she had not had experience previously (ex. A Japanese kagami biraki ceremony). Most importantly, Janice was extremely reliable. For example, my bridesmaids and I were supposed to get our hair and make-up done at a hotel the morning of the wedding, but after we woke up to a power outage and alerted Janice, she immediately jumped into action arranging a new location and updating the beauty and photo teams about the change. She then raced over to the hotel to help me and my MOHs pack up my wedding dress, shoes, accessories, and bridesmaids gifts and convinced the concierge to let us use the emergency freight elevator so that we wouldn’t have to run down 15 flights of stairs. Her husband drove us all to the alternate location and, miraculously, all of the hair, make-up, group photos, and dressing were completed with a whopping 15 minutes to spare! Despite the early morning switch-up, the rest of the day went off without a hitch and we knew the wedding couldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did if it weren’t for Janice’s work (both in the planning and the day-of coordination). We are so glad to have hired Janice and 100% recommend Bellwether Events.

I started off in birth photography and maternity shoots. I got asked to be a backup photographer for 2 weddings and fell so far in love with wedding and engagement photography, I had to add packages. I had so much fun and ended up making some great friendships doing so.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. From the very first conversation, Chaya made us feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely excited. On the day of the wedding, they were punctual, professional, and seamlessly blended into the day — capturing all the important moments without ever feeling intrusive. The final gallery brought me to tears (the happy kind!). Every emotion, detail, and candid was beautifully captured. The photos feel timeless and full of life — exactly what we wanted. Not only are they incredibly talented behind the camera, but they also brought such a calming, positive energy that made a huge difference during a fast-paced and emotional day. If you’re thinking about booking Chaya, do it! We’re forever grateful for the memories they’ve preserved so beautifully. — Jaime

As a wedding planner, New Pace is a company I recommend A LOT....and this past weekend it was my turn to use them for my own wedding. All the videographers are great, but I have worked the most with Eli and I knew I especially wanted him to be there on my day. He is funny, laughs at my terrible jokes and just knows how to have a good time. He captured everything...my family was joking the next day that Eli somehow always ended up appearing in the background filming something. He was across the room and then somehow ended up next to them in th next second!! He was unobtrusive, yet was present to get every little detail. I am so grateful for Eli and the New Pace Staff.

Tina did my hair and makeup for my wedding and reception and made me look and feel beautiful as a bride! Right from our first conversation, she was very responsive and provided great guidance. During the makeup trial, she tried a few different looks and made sure she understood exactly what I wanted. Initially, we had agreed upon an arrival time of noon on my wedding day. But, due to some schedule changes, I asked if she would be able to come and start a couple hours earlier. She was very happy and eager to accommodate the schedule change at no additional cost. Moreover, she delivered great results even with limited time between my wedding and reception. Tina turned my bridal vision into reality and I couldn’t be more grateful. I am so glad I chose her to be my hair and makeup artist on my special day and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

My name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the owner and photographer of Jennifer Mary Photography and specializing in Branding and Wedding Photography. My love for photography started in elementary school. I was always snapping photos with my Poloroid sticker camera or a disposable camera. I fell in love with the story telling. I'm a curly-headed, Old Bay loving, Lilly Pulitzer wearing, and caffeine-dependent millennial. In late 2017, I moved from Maryland to gorgeous Charleston, SC; where I experienced my first Southern snow storm (which consisted of 4 inches of snow and 2 weeks of snow days for students! What a time to move!)

I can’t begin to express how happy we were with Jennifer Mary photography for our engagement and wedding photos! Not only is Jen literally the nicest human, but her ability to make 2 camera shy people feel comfortable taking pictures is incredible. Jen and her team worked so well with our younger family members (we all know that can be tricky), and she worked with our event coordinator to make sure we could get sunset pictures without disrupting the timeline of events of the night. Her creativity and attention to detail is outstanding, we would choose her every time!

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Cassidy has an amazing report when working with clients and the staff on weddings. We have absolutely had the best experiences from the booking process, through to the ease of the day of the wedding.

I went with Prestige Planning for my wedding planner because of the ease of use. I met with my certified wedding planner before I booked and she was amazing and explained the whole process. I knew I could plan my own wedding but I’m not a pro at all so I knew I would need a lot of help. I didn’t want to spend the money on a full wedding planner so going this route was absolutely perfect. They were with me every step of the way. I especially liked the SOS calls they give because I needed them to assist with a vendor I was having an issue with. I knew I was going to need help with logistics and stuff on the actual day of my wedding because I wouldn’t have time to do so, so I added the coordination add on to my package. So I got my wedding planned with major help from an actual certified planner and coordination for my wedding day for less than others are charging for just coordination. Just go for it. You will not be disappointed at all! They really went above and beyond and did more for me than what they had outlined they would do. I got more than my money worth.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Olga Gurton is a Siberia-born photographer who has been working as a Maryland engagement photographer and wedding photographer for well over half a decade. Over that time, she’s developed an amazing ability to help couples lower their guard, allowing her to take some of the rawest, most sincere photographs you’re likely to come across. In addition to the remarkable honesty of her work, we’re rather taken with her careful composition, which uses soft light, clever yet subtle framing, and a focus on simple, elemental emotions.” Peerspace "9 best engagement photographers in Baltimore, MD"

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

From the very first moment I met Kiersten, I knew she was the perfect choice to document our wedding. Her warm and engaging personality made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day. The way she captures the essence of a moment is nothing short of magical. Her romantic style effortlessly highlights the love and joy shared between us and our guests. Each photograph tells a beautiful story, filled with emotion and grace. We were especially impressed by her ability to capture candid moments, turning fleeting seconds into cherished memories that we will treasure forever. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for their craft are evident in every shot. Whether it was a quiet, intimate exchange or a lively dance floor scene, she managed to capture every moment. In addition to how talented she is, she brought a sense of calm and joy to the day. Her friendly demeanor and approach made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and compassionate photographer to be a part of our celebration. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning, romantic images but also add a touch of warmth and personal connection to your wedding day, we wholeheartedly recommend Kiersten. She is truly one of the sweetest souls.
