Sarandon Smith Photography

5.0

Baltimore, MD
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,336

I'm Sarandon (pronounced SU-RAN-DIN). I'm an artist and photographer in Baltimore, Maryland where I live with my husband, our daughter, and our Australian Shepherd pup. I have an affinity for houseplants, terrible movies, good whiskey, and dinner parties. On days off I like hunting for my next favorite bakery, perusing a museum, or gathering friends for dinner and cocktails.

Sarandon is a talented, professional, and easy to work with. Personally, as someone who hates getting their photos taken, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in front of the camera that Sarandon was working with. She made both my husband and I feel at ease, comfortable in front of the camera, and stress free on our big day. The photographs came out beautifully and on time. I would highly recommend Sarandon for your next wedding. :)

Shutter & Sound

5.0

Baltimore, MD
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Clear Sky Images

Ellicott City, MD
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $10,000

I believe in random acts of kindness, finding inspiration in the mundane, and saying "I love you" everyday. When I’m not behind the camera, or running around on Wedding Days, you can nearly always find me cuddling up with Poe, our 2 year old Boston Terrier. My husband and I are also huge travel enthusiasts. Between the two of us, we have experienced 45 States, 7 National Parks, and 13 Countries. We are always ready for our next adventure, and hold a special place in our hearts for the couples we get to experience beautiful new-to-us corners of the world!

We used Clear Sky Images for our engagement photos and wedding photos and she went above and beyond everything we could have ever dreamed of! She captured every moment so perfectly! She was quick to reply and listen to every idea we had. She was creative and directed us to get the best photographs during our wonderful day!

Aleyna Rentz Photography

Baltimore, MD
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $250

I’m Aleyna, a South Georgia native who’s been living in Baltimore for the past five 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.

Working with Aleyna was so smooth. She's responsive, nice, and her work is gorgeous. My partner and I aren't good at posing for pictures but she was helpful in guiding us.

Edgar was great both with preparation before the big day and during the big day. Our engagement photos came out beautiful. We felt comfortable while taking pictures, even my husband who is camera shy found it painless. We love the "candid" look Edgar never fails to capture. He was efficient and flexible. We could not be more happy with the work he has done. He is defiantly the guy to trust with capturing the moment to save your precious memories.

As a wedding photographer myself, It was a HUGE relief to know I could put all things photography related in the hands of Andrea and her team at Amative Creative! Andrea met us at one of our favorite spots for our engagement photos and we were blown away by them so could not wait for our wedding photos! On the day of the wedding, Andrea and Misty were amazing and always had our best interests in mind. From stealing us for RAINBOW photos and then the most beautiful sunset, I am so thankful for all of the beautiful art she created. We will cherish these photos forever and I'm so grateful for the Amative Creative team!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos.

LOVE matters here. YOU matter here. If you’ve been searching for the dream team to capture not just the beautiful details of your day but to become your new wedding BFF’s, the magic begins with us! Our couples will tell you that by the time their big day finally arrives, we feel a lot more like friends than vendors. Your wedding is a intimate portrayal of all you are as a couple, and we are 100% here to take this journey with you! Let’s get ready to CELEBRATE!

Awarded Best of Zola
I suffer with a disability and multiple chronic illnesses that caused me to gain a lot weight over a short period of time, so I became extremely self-conscious about my image. Over the past couple of years I always avoided a camera and one of the biggest fears on my wedding day was having to get my photo taken. I was so picky with who I wanted as a photographer and I didn’t want to just settle with anyone. Once I found Lindsay and looked through her work, I loved everything I saw &  I knew I had found our photographer! Once I booked her we quickly connected. I loved how she sent me a friend request not long after booking her. It was really nice to get to know her and her family over time and made everything so much smoother when it came to taking our photos. When she took our engagement photos a year before our wedding, it felt like I had already known Lindsay for years! She truly takes the time to get to know all of her clients on a personal level which was so important to me. It was also useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. We have the most beautiful photos from that magical time before the big day. By the time our wedding came in June 2023, I was so comfortable around her and her husband Nathan. The connection and ease we found with her shows through in the final product. We are generally very awkward and have a tendency to pull silly faces the minute a camera is in our vicinity. Lindsay knew exactly how to make us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. I told her my insecurities and she worked with them flawlessly. On our wedding day, it poured all day. It was miserable. But Lindsay and Nathan managed to still give us the most beautiful photos we could have ever asked for. Despite the rain, our photos are stunning, filled with that glowy, flattering light. The thousands of photos we received from Lindsay and Nathan were absolutely breathtaking. For the first time in years, I didn’t look at photos and hate myself in them. I felt beautiful and I was so excited to share our photos with everyone. Six months later, we still receive plenty of compliments with how beautiful our wedding photos are. Lindsay and Nathan somehow captured every last detail, every single moment (some moments I didn’t even see for myself), perfectly. When I look back at our wedding album I feel exactly how I did on that day. We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect photographer to capture our memories. We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Lindsay Eileen Photography!

I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be. With me, your photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time. Truly, the honor is all mine. Thank you for considering me to document this luxuriously intimate wedding event.

Awarded Best of Zola
April and Mike are a wonderful team. They arrived early, and I was impressed with their preparedness and attention to detail. They talked about our couple as if they were lifelong friends, which tells me that they make a true effort to get to know each couple past surface level. They delivered the wedding gallery in less than two months, and the photos are incredible!!

Congratulations on your engagement, and thank you for visiting my page to explore my work. I'm a journalistic and fine art wedding photographer based in Newark, Delaware, but I LOVE to travel to destinations worldwide. My photography style is all about capturing natural, timeless, and meaningful moments with a journalistic approach.

Film photography, to me, is pure magic, and I'm excited to share that enchantment with you and your partner.

When it came time to determine our wedding photographer I already knew hands down who I wanted to use. My second time working with Jen (1st as bridesmaid and 2nd as the bride) was even better than the first. Start to finish, no detail forgotten. I was never rushed or feeling uncomfortable. Looking back - zero disappointment and 100% satisfaction. I paid for a service but received a true, genuine talent from authentic humans who wanted nothing more than to capture our day in moments. We never knew we could like ourselves in pictures so much!

Awarded Best of Zola
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

I'm an old soul with an excitement for life, adventure & travel. I have an incurable case of wanderlust. Yet I crave my warm cozy bed cuddled with the hubby, our son & our two fur babies. I'm a terrible singer and an even worse dancer...but that doesn't stop me. I'm attached to my phone but secretly love when it dies. I love food. Which is why my trip through Italy was documented with images of every meal I ate! I'm an overuser of smiley faces, the word "love" and exclamation points. I love surprises...sometime ask me about how the hubby proposed to me, it was a real shocker! But that's what I asked for.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Meghan via Zoom I knew she was the perfect fit to capture our wedding day! She was so responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the whole planning process. She made our engagement session so comfortable and our wedding day so fun! We had a huge bridal party and she corralled everyone and coordinated everything so well. Not only is she an incredible photographer but she is such an amazing person inside and out. She truly will be your biggest fan on your wedding day and make you feel so special and beautiful. We can't wait to cherish these photos forever!

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.

All I knew was that I was marrying my fiancé and that Sam was going to be our photographer. I didn’t care about anything else except that he was our photographer. The engagement session was so much fun! The day of the wedding was unbelievable. He’s so calm and professional. He answered all of my questions throughout the process quickly without getting frustrated. Lastly, his work is is just AMAZING! Highly recommend if you love bright colorful unique photos.

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.

As a portrait photographer I had been following Kanayo’s work because it’s artistic, unique and different. I teased that I would get married again just to have him photograph it. Well he said do a vow renewal and sure enough that’s what we did. There was no question or shopping around for us, Kanayo would be our photographer. We made the right decision! His images are just amazing, and eveytime we look at them it’s like we are living in that exact space and time. He captured so much that tells our story, expressing the emotions, the joy and the love on that day. He goes above and beyond to get the shot, yet he is not intrusive. He is kind and very patient yet in control. He is a master photographer! I highly recommend Kanayo for your photographs. We were not disappointed and you won’t be either.

Someday, years from now, someone close to you will ask about your wedding day - someone that may not have been able to be there, or a new friend or family member who you have welcomed into your life. As you sit on your couch and reminisce while sipping on a cup of coffee, rather than just telling them about your wedding day - I want you to be able to show them. Photographs have an amazing ability to freeze special moments in time. I want to do that for you.

Julia took our engagement photos and as soon as the session was over we knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding as well. My husband and I aren’t really big photo-takers so I was worried that the photos would feel awkward or posed. This was not the case AT ALL! Julia truly has so much fun and her energy is contagious! She gives simple cues and the photos feel incredibly natural and candid. Everyone comments on how much our love really shines through in our photos and we couldn’t agree more!!

Ali shot our wedding reception photography and did amazing! The photos came out beautiful but the best part was Ali himself. He was so funny, personable, and friendly. My husband loved talking to Ali and had such a great time. He also gave amazing, clear directions for photos. Our whole family loved them. Ali felt more like a family friend rather than a stranger.

Hi and welcome! I'm Madeleine and am so glad that you've connected with my work. I focus on bringing you a fun, relaxed photography experience so that you can keep your attention on what's most important... enjoying the celebration with each other and your closest loved ones! 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!

Madeleine was hands down the best wedding photographer I could have ever asked for. She is amazing with communication and she made sure that my husband and I's big day was both magical and stress free. She helped coordinate our first look, a special and timeless moment that we will never forget. I did not know what to expect for our first look and I was really nervous thinking about it, but she knew exactly how to set it up so that it was the most genuine and perfect moment of my life. She also did an outstanding job working alongside our wedding florist, as well as with our day of coordinators. We were able to get some amazing photos on top of a mountain/hill at our venue overlooking a valley. Despite the flowers for our half circle arch being situated all the way down at the ceremony area, Madeleine and our florist were able to work together to bring them up to the hill and do a coordinated photoshoot for us there. I loved seeing our gorgeous flower arch in two different locations at our venue. Everything about Madeleine Collins Photography is so professional, from the planning before the big day, to receiving all of the edited photos afterwards. The photos came out so beautifully and she did such a great job bringing out all the right colors and lighting. She knew exactly how to capture the lighting and our expressions. If you're still in between photographers and deciding, I can guarantee that you will not regret choosing Madeleine.

Hi I'm Maddy! I’m a Virginia native whose love of her camera took her on an adventure into entrepreneurship. I accidentally stumbled into wedding photography thanks to some family friends, and ended up leaving my career as a consultant to pursue my passion. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a perfectionist and a little bit Type A, but take pride in how that makes me into a great wedding photographer. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love the energy of a wedding day that keeps me on my toes. My attention to detail allows me to go above and beyond when it comes to helping you prepare and capturing your wedding day.

We absolutely loved working with Maddy! She was professional, talented, and made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoots. She truly nailed the sweet romance we were trying to achieve through our pictures. Our package also included an engagement session and the photos came out beautiful! We had an incredible selection to choose for our save the date and website photos. Maddy’s system is also so easy to use. She uploads all photos online and gives you the option to download into a Google Photos album so it makes sharing with friends and family incredibly simple. In the days leading up to our wedding, Maddy was organized and helpful, even prepared for the rainfall predicted for our wedding! The day turned out gorgeous and so did our pictures. We are so happy we chose Maddy to capture our big day and I know you will too!

I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional.

Hi! I'm Katie, an East Coast & Destination Wedding Photographer, based in Washington D.C. After taking a high-school photography class–it quickly became clear that I loved the art of photography. Soon after graduating, I was offered an internship position near Chicago that allowed me to continue to dive into the world of studio lighting, image editing, and commercial photography; continuing to hone on the technical skills that often get left behind when you have the digital screen to instantly see your work. A few years later, I photographed a friends wedding and it became crystal clear that this was exactly what I wanted to pursue.

Oh my goodness! Kate Grace is the best wedding photographer in the game. I am SO glad we snagged her to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire process from booking to engagement shoot to COVID-19 wedding planning - Kate was there for us each step of the way. On my wedding day I was barely stressed because I knew Kate would capture every moment perfectly. She took every shot (and then some!!!) on my shot list and delivered THE MOST BEAUTIFUL gallery. Kate even worked with our videographer and sent them pictures for our wedding video. Kate is INCREDIBLE. Hire her. You WILL NOT regret it. As long as we are in the DC area, Kate is our photographer.

Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer who not only captures every intricate detail but also brings a sense of ease and joy to your special day, look no further than Silvia Gilbert Photography. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding, and boy, did she exceed our expectations! Silvia] has an unparalleled knack for capturing the essence of each moment, from the stolen glances between the newlyweds to the delicate lace on the bride's gown. Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion. But what truly sets Silvia apart is her easy-going personality. Despite the inevitable chaos of a wedding day, she remained calm, cool, and collected, effortlessly putting us at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy the festivities. Her warm demeanor and infectious enthusiasm made the entire experience feel like a breeze, and her presence felt more like that of a dear friend rather than a hired vendor. Not only did Silvia capture all the big moments beautifully, but she also had a remarkable ability to capture the small, fleeting moments that we may have otherwise missed. Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving every laugh, tear, and heartfelt exchange. In short, Silvia Gilbert Photography is a true gem in the world of wedding photography. If you want stunning photos and a stress-free experience, entrust her with your special day—you won't be disappointed.

I’ve always loved photography. Yet, it wasn’t until 2008 when I began to travel internationally for work that decided to bring my Nikon D750. I was amazed when I returned home with the images to experience the magic I captured through my lens. My passion for photography was launched on the streets of Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam and Istanbul. While travel photography captivated me for several years, wedding and family photography snuck in and stole my heart. Swimming deeply in God’s grace, I believe my purpose with my talent is simple. Share love, one image at a time.

Joy is a fabulous photographer! I felt so comfortable and at ease while she was taking my wedding photos. She captured everything I wanted on my special day and much more! Highly highly recommend!!!!!

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

Jessica did an amazing job with our wedding photos! She made sure that we planned all of the portraits we would want ahead of time so that the day flowed nicely. We have only seen our preview photos so far but are blown away with how beautiful they look! Would recommend for any wedding!

I enjoy capturing moments you’ll only experience once and making them last a lifetime. I believe every couple has a unique story that has to captured in the most beautiful and intricate way. That’s what I love the most about capturing love.

So far we have only done our engagement shoot because our wedding is still upcoming but Roland has been a dream to work with. He was easy to get in touch with, very accommodating with his rates, and very punctual with work. The day of our engagement shoot Roland was on time to the venue, he was well informed about venues for the shoots and during the shoot itself one of us was veryyyy sick but you would not know from the pictures because he takes the photos as his own and directs you accordingly for what will look good. And true to form, by the time the final pictures came out (which in itself was a very quick turnaround) - everyone loved them! I can't wait for the wedding day and to get those pictures back.

My engagement session and wedding were so easy because she was knowledgeable about the venues beforehand and knew exactly where to take us that would capture and present the best lighting for each picture. She made our lives easy and our day beautiful! I could not recommend her enough!

I have studied fine art photography long before I ever started taking portraits of other people and shooting weddings. Fine art photography was my beginning, creating conceptual and authentic art that spoke to me and told my story was what I started with and then I started blurring that line between fine art and documentary. I started documenting other people and their lives in the same way that I created my own work intended for shows and galleries. That is how I came to the style that I shoot now, still blending the two parts of my life.

As a photojournalist, I’ve learned that a great photo is created when you anticipate what is going to happen. Just as important is understanding professional lighting. Combining both takes your picture from mediocre to extraordinary! Through my wedding photography, I provide each couple with a beautiful documentary of your very special day. Using a photojournalist approach, I capture the intimate moments throughout the day along with the personality of you and your guests to provide a rich pictorial and a life long memory of your wedding.

Steve is it for amazing photos! Steve and his staff are professional, punctual, and very friendly, not just to the bride and groom, but to our guests as well. He was wonderful about really hearing our requests and capturing the moments that meant the most to us. His dedication to getting the most beautiful shots possible brought us to a location for amazing portraits on the Potomac River. He was excellent - don’t think twice about booking!!

I am a fine art wedding photographer and wedding planner, wife, and mother to our three sweet babies! I first fell in love with photography at an early age. I became very inspired watching my father photograph weddings and capturing the authentic joy on his clients best day. It was then that I fell in love with the concept of love and knew what I wanted to do. I went on to film photography in high school and digital photography in college. After college I started a job as a party coordinator. I did this for years. Then, on blind faith started my own journey into the world of photography and wedding planning!

Heyyy! I'm Sam. I'm a slightly over-caffeinated creative soul who has made capturing love my passion. I love all things vintage and antique to chase that fuzzy nostalgic feeling <3 When I'm not glued to my camera or laptop- I'm spending all my time with my Husband and Son as well as our 2 dogs and cat. :) If you are interested in pricing/booking with me, please visit my website and complete an inquiry form as leads on Zola cost vendors money <3

It was such a pleasure working with Sam leading up to and on our special day! We did our engagement photos with her first, quite honestly with no direction as to what our wedding would look like or who would photograph it. We loved how comfortable we felt with Sam and her relaxed energy that made us feel like we were surrounded by a friend rather than being shadowed by a camera. She had us pose in ways that made us feel natural and look beautiful. After connecting and seeing her incredible artistry come to life in our engagement photos, we knew she was the perfect person to capture our wedding. From there, everything started to fall into place. When we approached Sam about traveling to capture our intimate destination wedding in Hendersonville, North Carolina, she easily met our excitement, talked us through the logistics of what it would look like, and offered suggestions as we chatted about location, vibes, and expectations. Sam was as always so attentive and communicative and was easily our favorite vendor to work with! Onto the wedding weekend and photos- Sam and her husband were so wonderful to work with. They were available for our every request, fit in so perfectly with our intimate group of guests and truly made our day so special. It was important to us to have a photographer who could capture the energy of the day and our guests, the landscape (which was huge on our list with a destination location), and all of the small moments in between. Let me tell you when we got our photos back we were blown away. You can feel the emotion in every single photograph. How is that even possible? From the quality to having the most candid, intimate moments captured so artfully, she truly exceeded our expectations. I’ve had people ask me if we had multiple shooters because she captured EVERY angle and perspective. When I look at our wedding photos I feel like I am truly reliving each moment; I’m not sure you could ask any more from your wedding photographer.
