About Khadim Baluch Photography

Khadim Baluch Photography

I'm a Baltimore-based fine art and documentary photographer trained at the International Center of Photography, with international exhibitions and published work behind me. I bring that background to weddings: nostalgic tones, cinematic light, and emotion-driven storytelling. I'll capture the moments you'll remember most, including the ones that happen in between the planned ones.

I treat your wedding as a story to document, not a shot list to complete. That means cinematic images built on mood, connection, and the details that make your day yours. For couples seeking something beyond the ordinary, I offer digital, medium format film, or a hybrid of both, pairing a timeless, archival feel with a full modern gallery. And the experience stays collaborative and easygoing throughout: I guide you through every frame, even if you've never been photographed before.

Description

The half-day option, built for intimate and single-venue weddings. Six hours covers what matters most: the quiet of getting ready, your ceremony, and the first hour of celebration. I work the way a documentarian does, watching for the moments between the moments, but I'll always guide you through portraits so the day feels easy. Ideal for intimate weddings and single-venue celebrations where the focus is on the people, not the production.

9 hours

Peak pricing $2,600-3,200

Description

Your whole day, held from beginning to end. Nine hours means nothing gets left out — the nervous quiet of the morning, the vows, the light going gold, the room coming loose on the dance floor. It includes a complimentary engagement session, so by the wedding we're not strangers and the camera already feels easy. The complete story, told with care.

Two hours across one or two locations that mean something to you: the restaurant from your first date, a favorite neighborhood, a quiet corner of the city. I research the spots ahead of time, suggest backdrops, and guide you through every frame, even if you've never been in front of a camera before. Perfect for save-the-dates, your wedding website, or simply marking this chapter. Complimentary with the Signature wedding package.

    Khadium is the absolute best

    Khadim was fantastic to work with from start to finish. His communication was clear and easy to follow, which made the whole planning process stress-free. He showed up on our wedding day ready to capture every moment, and the photos turned out beautiful. We loved how he mixed candid shots with posed ones, giving us a real picture of how the day felt. Khadim was also great at directing us without making anything feel stiff or awkward. We would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

    Unforgettable Engagement Photoshoot

    I have been following Khadim since his vsco days and when it was finally time to book a photographer for our engagement photos I knew it had to be him. From the very beginning, he was extremely communicative, flexible, and helpful in the planning aspect of our photoshoot. We had experienced a string of inclement weather on the weekends where we were all free, but he always held our best inerest in mind to ensuring we had got the photos we were looking for. Khadim surveyed us on where we wanted to take the photos, researched the area, and gave us additional suggestions based on the information we had provided. We were able to visit the restaurant where my fiancé and I had our first date. He even had the attention to detail to utilize some of the backdrops knowing that our wedding would be in the Philippines and tied in with a tropical theme. We also visited several murals throughout the city that we would not have known about without his help. When we were taking photos, there was an equal mix of poses we wanted to do as well as his own recommendations that would ultimately look better than what we were thinking of. His patience and guidance was truly appreciated seeing as this was our first time doing a photoshoot at all. Khadim was extremely transparent when it came to his availability and turn around time to produce the end results. We have since shared them with our close friends and family. Needless to say, we’re all over the moon with how they turned out. We owe all our thanks to him.

It depends on coverage length, but as a guide: engagement sessions include a curated set of 50+ edited images, elopements 100+, and full wedding days 300-500+. I never cap galleries at a number, so if the day gives us more, you get more. Every delivered image is individually edited, and you receive full printing rights.
Yes! My partner works alongside me as a second shooter and lighting assistant. She's guaranteed on The Essential and The Signature packages, and often joins for elopements and engagement sessions too. Two of us means both partners' getting-ready moments, guest reactions during the ceremony, and wide and close angles of the same instant — plus off-camera lighting that gives portraits and receptions a polished, editorial look. And because we work together constantly, we move through your day as one seamless, unobtrusive team.
Absolutely! Every image you receive is individually edited in my style with nostalgic tones, cinematic light, and true-to-life skin. I also perform selective retouching and individualized masking.
Yes! Film is available as an add-on to any package. If digital captures how your day looked, film captures how it felt in a way digital can never emulate: it's the medium your parents' wedding album was made on, and it renders light, color, and skin with a warmth digital imitates but never quite matches. On the day, I weave film into portraits and quiet moments, so it never costs you time — a few dozen intentional frames on a medium format camera, professionally developed and scanned, delivered alongside your full digital gallery. Full details are on my packages list.
Yes, always. Every package includes full printing rights, so you can print, share, and download your images freely with no per-print fees, no watermarks, no gatekeeping. Your gallery is delivered in full resolution, sized for anything from Instagram to large wall prints. For an additional cost, I am happy to do the printing and framing myself and deliver it to your door.
Most of my couples have never done a professional shoot before. If this is you, you're in the majority, not the exception. I can guide you through every frame with prompts and gentle direction rather than stiff posing, and most people forget the camera is there within the first twenty minutes. My documentary background helps here too; some of your best images will be from the in-between moments when you weren't posing at all.
