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!

I was looking for someone who could take quality dance pictures. Someone that would be able to help me with poses and correct feet and hand positions. Kelsey with LoveFusion Nailed It! I came to her with some pose ideas but she had some as well. She was also very helpful in getting my feet in the correct position. The pictures turned out better than I could have hoped for! If you are looking for someone to take professional dance portraits I highly recommend LoveFusion! You wont be disappointed.

  • Editorial style

*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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Laura is such an excellent photographer. She listened to what we wanted to do, made sure she caught all of the moments I wanted and a bunch I never even thought I needed. She's also just such a joy, her energy makes any room more positive.

Experience: Over 25 years as a full time wedding photographer/videographer and having photographed over 2000 weddings. We are Storyteller wedding photographers/videographers. We tell our clients’ stories, not our own. This automatically requires that we talk to our clients about what is important to them, and that we listen and deliver. “Photography is not just a way to document the world around you, but it can open the door to be an Artist and have an outlet for the creative process.” Relationship: I want to get to know you and I target my images to your desires.

I can't say enough good things about Frank Formica and his assistant Glenn Miller. They were professional, thorough, caring, thoughtful, funny, and personable with us and all of our guests. It is clear that Frank has decades of experience in his field and takes pride in his work. The dialogue between the two of them was witty and entertaining, and one could tell they had a great working relationship and functioned seamlessly as a team. My husband and I are tickled pink about our photos and video, and they exceeded our expectations. We highly, happily, and unquestionably recommend Frank Formica and his team.

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!

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.

My fiancé and I have worked with Yelitza twice and both experiences have been fantastic! She has made us both feel extremely comfortable both times and had great communication with us both times. During our first session she photographed us with our 6-month-old puppy who is very energetic she was very patient with him and was able to get great group shots of all of us. Our latest photography session was a rooftop city session and the photos came out absolutely amazing again! I would highly recommend Yelitza!

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.

Our wedding day was made special by so many vendors, but Wendy Hickok Photography pushed our wedding above and beyond our expectations. We used Wendy for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and in each case she was incredibly flexible and her work was amazing. She allowed us to postpone our engagement photos until the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Washington, DC, which is very hard to plan for! She braved frigid temperatures with us that day, but our engagement photos turned out amazing! To plan for our wedding photos, she came to our vineyard venue a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure she knew what we wanted in our pictures, and made sure to fully execute that dream the day of our wedding. To this day, I still get compliments on our wedding and engagement photos as they turned out beautifully. Without hesitation, I give Wendy Hickok Photography 5 stars, and I imagine we will be using her services for photographing other life events in the future.

Northern Lights Photography By Jamie Howarth

5.0

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.

Cesar was the best option for my wife and I. From start to finish I was impressed by his professionalism, talent, and genuine care about what we ultimately wanted for photography. For the DMV area, his pricing and packages are the best when it comes to being affordable without losing quality. I am most thankful for the extra mile he was willing to go throughout this process. Unfortunately due to the heat and transportation, our wedding and groom cake were leaning/crooked on our big day. Cesar was kind enough to make photo edits of the cakes and completely straightened them! Now noone will ever remember the leaning tower of cake!

I am an email person versus a phone call person and she was amazing at keeping up. She was so organized and sweet and professional during our entire time together, through the planning stages, the day of and even after the wedding. The day of she was perfect. She was relaxed and very reassuring. She even kept my lipstick in her pocket for quick touch ups. Our finished photos were also amazing.

"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!

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. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace shot our engagement and wedding and was so easy to work with! She was so flexible and worked hard to make sure my husband and I didn’t feel too awkward taking professional photographs for the the first time. Her photo style and editing is beautiful and true and we received so many complements for our engagement shoot. 12/10 would recommend!

We were brought to Sarah through our preferred vendor list from our venue and immediately were drawn to her images. Shot composition, editing, the whole package. Our initial meeting during our engagement shoot allowed us to build a personal connection with Sarah (which she strives for.) Her use of prompts and games allowed us, who are not typically photogenic, to feel at ease. On the day of the wedding Sarah and her husband, Ryan, took incredible images. Her guarantee was having the entire album in 8 weeks and we received all of our photos in 4 weeks, not to mention sneak peek shots, a curated set of her favorites a few days after the wedding. We couldn't recommend Sarah and her team enough!

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We decided to do a last minute baby moon in the Miami area. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a photoshoot. However, I was a bit worried about finding a photographer on short notice, especially between Christmas and New Years. I reached out to several photographers and Ledd Lens was the only company that promptly responded, replying to me within ten minutes, From the very start of our conversation, Andre was exceptionally professional, responsive, and approachable. He was very flexible with my last minute request and accommodating to my asks. I knew right away that he would be a fantastic choice. When the day came the weather did not cooperate and Andre was able to flex his schedule to a time that was not rainy, which was much appreciated. He assured me that this would be a positive experience regardless of the weather. And the photo shoot went fantastic! His ability to choreograph and capture a scene is unparalleled. You could feel the enthusiasm and passion he has for his work, and that is reflected in the final product. Andre did a great job of quickly editing and delivering the photos. We absolutely love how they turned out and cannot recommend Andre and Ledd Lens enough!

Lindsay and Nathan are absolutely amazing. They are talented, professional, and kind. I seriously do not even know where to begin because if I could give them more than 5 stars I would. When I first started looking for photographers & videographers, I was overwhelmed by the choices and the costs. I loved Lindsay's light and airy style, all her work was romantic and beautiful to look at. I contacted her hoping that she would have our wedding date available, and immediately she responded and answered all of my questions. It quickly became clear to me that I found the photographer I wanted for our wedding, and choosing Lindsay and Nathan was easily one of the best decisions we made. Leading up to our wedding, Lindsay was responsive and eager to chat with me. She helped me with our timeline and cared about the things that were important for us. I wanted beautiful photos of course, but I also wanted things to run efficiently because we were planning to take the majority of photos prior to the ceremony so that we could join our own cocktail hour. Guys - Lindsay and Nathan were a machine!! They were incredibly efficient at organizing our bridal party and families. We also received many compliments from our families and friends who have been in other weddings on how Lindsay and Nathan streamlined the entire family & bridal party portrait process. I also saw Lindsay walking around early getting the lay of the land before she was scheduled to be on site, which I thought spoke well to who she is and how much she cares about what she does. After the Wedding was over, we received our video and photo gallery very quickly and we were blown away. I could not believe how fast they got all of that content to us and how stunning the photos were. Lindsay and Nathan definitely put a lot of thought into capturing your special day, all while helping it to run smoothly. Plus, they seem enjoy themselves in the process! I will continue to stay in touch with Lindsay on social media, and we very much look forward to working with her again as our family changes and grows. Lindsay and Nathan, thank you so much!

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!

Taking pictures with Steph was one of the highlights of our wedding day. From our first chat with her, we felt so at ease. We were confident that she was a total professional that we could trust not only to capture all those “must have” shots but to capture the feeling of the day. We loved Steph’s style of warm and romantic images that carry not just the visuals but the emotions of the moment. Shooting with Steph was so much fun, my husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera but felt so confident and secure with Steph behind the lens. Between our wedding planner and Steph our timeline also ran exactly on schedule which helped give the day a relaxed feel, no small feat! When we received our highlights, the photos honestly took out breath away. They were so much more than we could have hoped for. Every detail of the day was there, all those special little corners and moments that you hope get captured forever. The couple portraits are some of my favorites, they really show how we felt on the day and will be so special to look back on as the years go by. Of course, Steph also made sure we looked darn good! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steph for your wedding and engagement pictures. She delivers the best possible experience and product, in addition to being a super organized professional who will make sure it all goes to plan.

Bree Nacsa 13 reviews 2 hours ago NEW We could have not asked for a better photographer for our wedding and are forever grateful for the fantastic job Andrew did for our rehearsal and wedding day. Some highlights: - Strong communication in the months leading up to the wedding, always promptly replying to emails - His gallery speaks for itself but he clearly has a good artistic vision and excellent editing skills with many years of experience - Did some FILM photography as well!!! My favorite photos of the day were captured on film and had such a gorgeous vintage vibe that digital would never be able to capture. - Captured everything we could have possibly wanted, was good at posing us for posed photos but also got so many special candid moments Most importantly, Andrew has such a relaxed, positive, and calming vibe that was so important to us on our big day. I have been in weddings where the photographer is way too intense and barking orders at everyone, rushing people, and stressing out the bride and groom - I am so glad that was not the case with him. I could not recommend his services enough - it is well worth every penny.

Of all the planing and craziness that goes along with a wedding, Layla was the one person who made it extremely easy. I never had to worry. She would always reach out to me instead of me having to reach out to her. She managed to get some of the most beautiful photos out of a non photogenic person. Layla makes you feel so comfortable in front of a camera. I received pictures back before me and my husband returned from our honeymoon. The looked absolutely gorgeous!

We hired Matt and Hannah for our wedding day in August of 2022. Hannah was so easy to talk to and made us feel at ease throughout all of our communications. I really wanted someone who would make me feel like I didn't have to stress at all about the photos/video on my wedding day, and they definitely fit the bill! And most importantly, the photos and video turned out amazing! They captured every moment perfectly. My favorite photos were from when we snuck out during our reception and took some amazing photos in downtown Raleigh (A dream that I had, that Hannah helped make happen!). Do yourself a favor, and just hire them. You won't regret it!

I've been creating wedding day memories for over a decade now. New Orleans. Chicago. Minneapolis. The PNW. NYC. We travel all over this country, and even internationally, when the right opportunity presents itself, documenting love stories for our amazing couples. Our goal with each new wedding, is not to be just good or “good enough”--the goal is to be world-class, one of the top wedding photography teams in the world. Each couple helps us accomplish this.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

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

From the moment we met Darcy, we knew our couple's portrait session was going to be special. Darcy possesses not only an incredible talent for photography but also an exceptional ability to make you feel completely at ease. The session with my fiancée was filled with laughter and genuine moments, thanks to Darcy's friendly and professional demeanor. Darcy's attention to detail is remarkable. She found the perfect lighting and backgrounds that complemented us as a couple, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere. Her creativity shone through in every shot, making each photo unique and personal. The final photographs left us in awe. Darcy captured our love and connection in a way that was both natural and artistically beautiful. The colors, the angles, the moments – everything was pieced together flawlessly. These photos aren’t just images; they are treasured memories that we will cherish forever. What truly sets Darcy apart is her passion for her work. She went above and beyond to ensure our session was enjoyable and the results were more than we could have ever hoped for. Her ability to capture the essence of our relationship in her photos is a testament to her incredible skill as a photographer. In summary, Darcy is an outstanding photographer whose work is a blend of art and emotion. We highly recommend her to any couple looking to capture their love in a timeless and beautiful way.

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
Writing a review is hard because no words will do justice to Meghan's work and professionalism, but I'll try my best. I first met Meghan in 2019 when she did engagement/family photos for my now husband, stepdaughter, and our dog, and we connected with her immediately. She was friendly, fantastic at directing us through poses, managed to get my stepdaughter to have a natural smile, and managed to make our dog look great. She delivered our photos promptly, and they were gorgeous. Fast-forward to a couple of years later, I reached out to aking her for last-minute professional photos, and I had the same experience. She did a fantastic job, and I still get compliments on my LinkedIn headshot. Our best experience with Meghan thus far, however, has been our wedding. Meghan didn't actually shoot our wedding because she was on maternity leave, but she was still incredible throughout the entire process. My partner and I had to postpone our wedding because of COVID, and she was amendable and responsive. When she found out that she'd be on maternity leave during our wedding, she let us know in a timely manner and set us up with one of her associates promptly. We had an extensive Zoom call with her associate, where she went through all the details of the wedding to make sure everything would be covered. She created a comprehensive timeline, and she edited and delivered our photos within a month (with a newborn!). Working with Meghan throughout the years has been one of our best investments. My partner and I can't wait to have her capture other life moments as they come. We highly recommend her for all of your photography needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annemarie deserves all of the praise in the world, because she is truly the best vendor you could hope for. It goes without saying that we first wanted to hire Annemarie when we saw her stunning photographs--she is incredibly talented and has a true eye for beauty. However, with Annemarie you get so much more than that. The short version: if you want a photographer who goes above and beyond and is extremely talented, professional, responsive, helpful, reliable, kind, and accommodating, you absolutely need to hire her. The detailed version: We first met Annemarie when we did our engagement shoot, exactly a year before our wedding. The shoot was a wonderful experience thanks to her--she had so many creative ideas of where to get the perfect pictures, she gave clear directions that made us feel comfortable and at ease, and in between pictures she was wonderful and lovely to talk to. She never made us feel rushed, and even went to a second location with us to shoot more pictures. She sent us an entire gallery full of gorgeous pictures within a few weeks. As our wedding approached, she reached out consistently to check up on us, and created a detailed timeline and shot list for our day--following up and responding at any and all times with extremely useful suggestions. One day, our coordinator scheduled a very last minute venue walk-through which was not necessary to attend; we reached out to Annemarie with absolutely no expectation of her attending (less than 24 hours notice) and she immediately responded that she would be there. At the walkthrough, she again provided us with so much wonderful advice and helpful suggestions, and scoped out the entire venue with me to get ideas of where she would take pictures. On the day of our wedding, she made the day run seamlessly--providing guidance, and making sure everyone was in the locations and sticking to the schedule. She has a very calming presence, which is super useful on such a hectic day full of activities. She also brought an assistant and a second shooter with her--the three made a wonderful team that captured every important moment. I realized suddenly that I really wanted to extend Annemarie's time with us at the wedding, and was panicked because I hadn't thought to extend the contract. I pulled her aside and she immediately reassured me that she would stay and not to worry. Our wedding ended Saturday at midnight--we had a beautiful preview of our photographs by Monday morning, and our full gallery a few weeks later. We would recommend Annemarie to absolutely anyone getting married--you need the best vendors for your most important day (and arguably, photographers are one of the most important vendors), and she's simply the best.

Jon did an amazing job photographing our proposal and wedding photos. He was quick with communication prior to the event, he was extremely fast with getting us our final photos and even went above and beyond to print us a few shots immediately following the wedding! He also had his photobooth set up for the reception and it was an absolute hit with the guests. We got many compliments by guests on how professional Jon was and the amazing quality of the final 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 Haller did an incredible job with our engagement photo shoot. He is skilled at finding uniquely beautiful and creative spots to take pictures. His enthusiastic and thoughtful personality makes him so enjoyable to work with! He captured many authentic moments for us which were truly priceless. Michael went above and beyond with his hard work ethic and excellent communication. I cannot recommend working with him enough!

We had the pleasure of working with Tania for our wedding. We hosted a small COVID-friendly ceremony in Washington D.C. with family and friends. Tania was amazing to work with; she helped bring our vision to light even amid the pandemic. She was very knowledgeable of the DMV area and the best locations to photograph. She captured breathtaking photos of our special day, followed by having her amazing staff capture the laughter and fun at our reception we hosted.

Tay is absolutely amazing(her team is great too). Not only is she a vibe, she’s patient, professional, and made sure she captured every important moment on wedding day. Our engagement pictures, wedding photos and video were FIRE. It almost felt like she was apart of our family. The level of comfort we felt with her was unmatched. Instead of a phone conversation, we had our consultation over a video call which made the experience more personable. I’ll never forgot the night before my wedding she called to check in to make sure I was okay and talk about how the day was going to play as far as photos and video went, she was the ONLY vendor on my team to do so. Delivery was exceptional!!! You won’t regret having her, trust me!!!

She is great at giving ideas and suggestions, as well as taking your ideas and making them work. She is super organized, so talented at taking, posing, creating, and editing pictures, and we could not have chosen better!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam absolutely covered every single little detail of our wedding. It was great to see things we didn't even catch as the day went by. He assured us every step of the way. He caught all the candids we could have ever wanted and posed us like a pro when necessary. Probably the best at communication out of all our vendors and is still the person we come to with our new milestones. A maternity session is definitely going to be in the mix soon

I am a photographer based in Washington DC, focusing on weddings and portraits, with a specialization in creating joyful, romantic, and timeless images. It would be a great privilege for me to document significant moments in your life through photography. I strongly believe that each unique event should be commemorated with affectionate enthusiasm and attention.

Awarded Best of Zola
Barbora was a joy to have photograph our wedding (and engagement photos!)! Our photos speak for themselves — she captured our day authentically and beautifully! We couldn’t be happier with how she was able to perfectly capture our joy, love and the beautiful surroundings. We really appreciated how she went above and beyond to get the perfect shot/angle, scrambling up stairs, hiding in trees, pre-visiting our venue to scope out spots, and working SO hard for such a long time. She recommended poses and reviewed our photos list the week before, which helped make sure we didn’t miss anything :) She also did SUCH a great job arranging our flat lay photos, helping organize family photos and jumping in to capture candid photos throughout the night! Not to mention, we got our photos back quickly and there were so many! She is responsive, helpful and truly a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend hiring her for any photography needs, but especially a wedding!!!
