Your wedding day will be one of the most real days of your life — full of emotions, laughter, happy tears, and the people you love most. It deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt. I’m Aira, a documentary wedding photographer based in Maryland, available worldwide. I show up, get to know you, and quietly capture everything as it unfolds — the moments you noticed, and the ones you didn’t. Gentle guidance when you need it. Just you, being completely yourselves. I take on limited weddings each year. If your date is available — let’s talk.

Our experience with Love Story By Aira Photography was truly outstanding. Aira and her second photographer were extremely professional, cooperative, and flexible throughout the entire process. Their communication was excellent, and they were very accommodating of our specific requests. The quality of their work was superb - the photos they captured were perfect, with Aira expertly finding the best angles to showcase our special day. She brought a second photographer which helped everything run smoothly. Aira was also very affordable, and I would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will help us cherish our wedding memories forever.

My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

Josh and his team at Buxton Media Productions were a great company to work with from start to finish of our wedding. Josh was a great communicator and really understood from the beginning what we were wanting. Josh was also very helpful with timeline for the day and had great suggestions. He also worked very well with our photographer. The day of the wedding stayed on track with a lot of help from him and his team. We were able to enjoy the day along side him working to capture every moment. During our private vows I didn’t realize he and his team were there, but they still captured every moment. The quality of videos were amazing. After watching our ceremony video we were impressed with the sound quality and we were astonished by how many cameras he had around without us knowing they were there. Him and his team went above and beyond on our wedding day and showed real professionalism throughout the whole day. Josh was good on his delivery of videos from the sneak peak to the actual videos he sent. If you are thinking about getting a videographer don’t hesitate to book Buxton Media Production. You will not regret the choice and you will have captured memories you will cherish for years to come!

Christa Rae Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves West River, MD

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 delivered us everything we wanted and more! From the start, Christa was organized and communicative about everything. We got to know her during our Engagment photo shoot and were excited to work with her then and at the wedding. She helped us figure out our day of timeline and how photos would fit into it since we were planning on doing a first look and knocking out ALL of the immediate family portraits out of the way… and there were 140 photo combinations we wanted due to us both having 3 siblings each and divorced parents. Christa and her second photographer captured these photos ALL before the ceremony even started - plus a few additional photos we love but didn’t initially have on our shot list. We picked Christa based on her style and editing and we are more than pleased with the products. We have gotten back our full gallery and there are SO many photos - it’s going to be very difficult picking our favorites to hang around the house without overwhelming the walls . All of our friends and family love the photos so much and have even asked who our photographer was. We will always recommend Christa!

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.

Exactly one week ago, I married the love of my life. I could not have managed the stress of planning a wedding without the grace of God and EventBay, LLC. From consultation to day of, Bashan McLeod (owner) exuded professionalism, profoundness and poise. Her skillset, knowledge and expertise of wedding planning and event planning provided a sense of ease and allowed me to focus on the only important thing…marrying my husband. Lol. I retained the Day of Coordinator service from EventBay, LLC. and the Event Agenda a la cart service to make my big day manageable. Bashan went above and beyond, she always did a monthly check up on me to see how I was doing before her services started. And when the 30 days out started, this business owner was on it! She also recommended vendors when my now husband and I were stuck and could not find a DJ. My entire wedding party was in awe of the seamless transitions between timeline tasks and how Bashan and her team got us together. I am so very grateful to have found EventBay, LLC. I literally had no clue what I was doing. Bashan was clear and concise, personable, and fancy. I would definitely utilize EventBay, LLC.’s services again in the future for any event.

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years.

My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

Grace is such a talented photographer. Her photos always capture the essence of her clients and the beautiful landscapes. Her skill and talent is no doubt able to shine because of her personality. She's super easy going and always makes you feel comfortable. We recommend Grace for your next session!

Hemlock Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Jen and the team were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, especially since we were coming from out of town—they went out of their way to store all the items we brought and made sure everything was taken care of. We loved having access to the space for the entire weekend, which allowed us to use the barn as a getting-ready area for my bridesmaids the day before and gave our families a comfortable place to get out of the heat. The property itself is stunning and spacious, with a beautiful barn that exceeded our expectations. Everything was included in their pricing, which made planning straightforward and stress-free. We would absolutely recommend Hemlock Farm to any couple looking for a gorgeous venue with a team that truly cares about making your day special.

We had our wedding at The Golf Club At South River and couldn't be happier with our choice. Emily and Gina, and the rest of fhe team there, are incredibly knowledgeable and made sure everything ran like clockwork from start to finish. The venue itself is the perfect size for a smaller to moderately sized event, with gorgeous rustic charm and stunning photo spots scattered throughout the grounds and inside. What really impressed us was how prompt and straightforward the staff was—they got things done without any fuss, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind and supportive.

Huge thank you to Deb and the BMG staff. From our first tasting, the communication and coordination with everyone at Be My Guest was amazing. Deb really made planning our menu and rental needs so easy - she knew exactly what to ask and what details were needed - which shows how experienced she is in the field. The food was FANTASTIC. Weddings have the reputation of not having good food, but all of our guests raved about how good their meal was. When it comes to service, they are top notch. Servers coordinated to bring food out quickly, bartenders were friendly, and Deb always made sure my drink was full. If you need a caterer for your wedding (or any event), Be My Guest is the way to go.
