The Pros does it slightly differently. They are in over 60 cities and they hook you up with a photographer for your day. We got matched with Hugh and we could not be happier. He did our engagement shoot as well so we got to know him before the wedding. The turnaround time for photos was crazy! We got our wedding photos back within 10 days and there is over 1k to choose from and they are all stunning. He got some really great shots of family members and ones I will cherish forever. If you’re looking for a great value in photos, you won’t be disappointed in booking with The Pros.

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. We’ve always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. This is how authentic photography captivates us. The goal is to photograph your day as it unfolds naturally. Take a few moments to go through some words from past clients describing their experience with us. You’ll also find us on Google.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Josh Fernandez as our engagement and wedding photographer was undoubtedly the best decision we have ever made. Our travel to Josh Fernandez was well timed. Over the course of the epidemic, rescheduling our wedding and praying that he would still be our photographer, the stars aligned to create this lovely friendship. He makes the process straightforward and goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort by assisting other vendors. Josh is a rockstar, a man of the people, and a humble gentleman who will execute his amazing vision for your event with humility and respect. Every conceivable accommodation you can imagine, he has your back. His photographs - Exquisite, cerebral, explosive. He continues to push the limits of his skill and catches abstract philosophical notions that evoke emotion and make you rethink your identity. This summer, we are seeking our third photoshoot with him, and we aim to recommend him to all of our connections.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin is awesome and incredible to work with! If only there were more stars to give for a review rating. He was so professional and easy to work with! Everything from his communication, thoroughness of the event coverage, to his creativity was amazing! My wife and I are so happy we chose Justin as our engagement and wedding photographer. Our family and friends shared so many positive comments about him and his work. How he was able to be everywhere during the wedding and make me (who normally look awkward in photos) seem photogenic is beyond me! My wife and I felt very comfortable and at ease during our photoshoots and really enjoyed getting to know Justin. We were told that having a great photographer is so important for a wedding, and honestly you can rest assured that you will be in good hands with Justin! You will look like movie stars! Also where else can you even find a photographer that can help bustle a bride’s dress?! Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication Justin! We are beyond happy with our albums!!

Weddings By Lee Photography

Savage, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, our experience with Lee was nothing short of amazing!!! When we first met Lee in 2019, he welcomed us into his studio with open arms and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. It quickly became apparent that Lee valued his relationship with us and that, for him, to truly capture the essence of our special day he wanted to understand our unique relationship. We shared a glass of delicious wine and talked for over an hour, reviewed some of his work, shared our vision of our wedding, and shared important details of our story together. My wife and I felt so comfortable with him, like we were already friends, and not just another client. I still remember the way I felt walking out of his studio that day. We knew right then and there that he was special and the right choice for us. Fast forward to 2020 and the world had suddenly and drastically changed. My wife and I were forced to postpone our wedding until the following year (November 2021). The experience was painful and frustrating, forcing us to make adjustments and sacrifices that were not part of our original plans. Throughout that entire time, Lee was there for us. He checked in on us, he invited us to hang out, he showed that he really cared. Lee went above and beyond for us for our engagement photos and traveled quite a long distance to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When we had a small "backyard BBQ" wedding in October 2020 for our official marriage (we didn't want to wait another year), out of the goodness of his heart, Lee volunteered to come shoot our day and help capture those precious moments with close family and bridal party. And, at long last, on our big wedding day in November 2021, Lee delivered amazing photographs and an unforgettable experience beyond our highest expectations! He brings extensive experience to the table and we were so impressed with how deftly he moved and how efficiently he operated throughout our wedding day. Lee is kind, funny, reliable, gentle, generous, polite, professional, fair, and he takes amazing photographs! Lee, thank you for choosing us and making our lives better and our wedding day the best it possibly could have been.

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.

From start to finish, Sam provided a wonderful experience as our wedding photographer. He is very approachable, making us feel comfortable right away and like he really knew us as a couple. Communication leading up to our wedding was perfect, not too much, not too little.. it was just right. Then they day of, he was timely, quick, and just blended in with the entire event wonderfully. I received so many comments from my bridal party and guests on “what a fun guy he is!” And then the final product that was delivered was ahmazing! I still love looking at our photos that documented our special day.

She's fun and easygoing; she was great with all our guests. She arrived at our venue an hour early to get a look at some possible photo locations. Most of all, her photos are absolutely beautiful. They capture the moments that we never want to forget in a very touching way. My husband and I are so happy with the way they turned out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent photographer.

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I'm Aimee Nguyễn. I’m a sarcastic 28 year old who loves to travel, cook, and snuggle with her cat. I have been photographing all kinds of love since 2017. My main goal on your wedding day is to capture your love and day authentic to you while making you feel comfy and stress-free. I take a lot of my inspiration from dope cinematography and my couples. I want to create visual poetry that speaks to your heart and soul, celebrating all the joy and happiness that surrounds you on your wedding day. My albums are meant to speak to your heart, not just the highlights.

I've had the privilege of working alongside Aimee as a fellow vendor; she was the photographer and I was the videographer. This means we were together for 10 hours, which offered me a deep look into how Aimee operates on a wedding day. Aimee does a great job delicately balancing professionalism and comforting ease. She knows how to joke around, but you never feel like she isn't still focused on giving you the best photos. While I was impressed by Aimee's approach to the wedding day, I was also so impressed when I saw how the final images turned out. She did an incredible job and I highly recommend her!

  • Photojournalistic style

When I’m not photographing weddings, I am a rock climber, scuba diver, glass blower (#breablowsglass on instagram), ukulele, guitar, and guitarlele player, world traveler, and cat mom to Sherlock (sherlocknessmonster on instagram). During the winter, I teach a video class at the Sheffield Institute of the Recording Arts and I love having a positive impact on my students. Everything I love to do challenges me personally and makes me a stronger person. I feel the most alive when I feel connected to this beautiful planet and the people on it.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a 14-year veteran of the wedding and event industry, I've had the privilege of working with some of the best photographers in the area. Brea is THE best! The entire experience, from start to finish, is always enjoyable for me as a collaborating vendor, and for my clients. She juggles all her responsibilities as a business owner, and everything runs like a well-oiled machine. Her demeanor on the job is friendly, professional, and endearing. And, most importantly, her body of work is out of this world. I think that goes without saying, because her portfolio speaks for itself. But I have to say it anyway because it's beyond impressive. Her work has been recognized in international publications as some of the best in the world, and when you see how evocative her images are, it's easy to see how she earned her accolades. Brea is my favorite. Simply put, if she's not available on your date, change your date! You need her.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the introductory phone call to the delivery of our prints, a canvas, and a beautifully personalized thumb drive with all of our wedding photos, Kimberly absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. Our engagement shoot (which we were both incredibly nervous for) was a blast. Kimberly put us right at ease and her eye for finding a variety of backdrops was impressive! She was an integral part of the planning process, helping organize a timeline as well as a list of group shots. Kimberly was quick to respond to communications and helped talk us through planning for rain when our weather forecast was less than optimal. If you are considering including your dog in your day - Kimberly is the photographer for you. One of our favorite parts about working with Kimberly was the next day sneak peek- we got to relive our day right away!

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is so fantastic! She is communicative, easy to work with, and takes the most FABULOUS photos! My sister has special needs and getting good photos of and with her for my wedding was one of the most important things to me- and we have the most amazing photos! She captured every moment and emotion and I could not recommend her more!!

I am a Baltimore based wedding and engagement photographer, known for my vibrant wedding photos with an authentic, candid style. I work with couples who are laid back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying time with family and friends, not spending half the day posing for stiff, awkward photos.

As a videographer, I have worked with Morgan many times, and each time I find out she is the photographer for the day, I breathe a sigh of relief. Her work is excellent, and she does such a great job directing her couples to give them the best photographs. She communicates well and takes the time to make sure couples get everything they need. She is not only professional when it comes to her clients; she works seamlessly alongside all the vendors at the event. You will not go wrong with hiring her. She's amazing!

Your wedding day is that rare occasion where all your friends and family gather together and your ceremony is the reason for it all. After all the food is eaten, the cake is cut, the toasts are cried & laughed over and the flawless dance moves are danced, all you have left are your photos. Your wedding experience is so much more than just booking and filling out paperwork, it's preserving your memories to be relived through photographs, it's help with planning to ensure your wedding vision is brought to life, it's your vendors working as a team to give you the day you have dreamed of, its capturing the details you put thought and love into.

We had a fantastic experience with Alicia, who was recommended to us by our day-of coordinator. As a photographer myself, I knew what to look for in a photographer. She was so much fun, approachable, easy to work with, offered so much guidance as far as wardrobe and posing for our engagement shoot (included in our package) and made us feel so at ease at our wedding. We can see ourselves booking her again for future portrait sessions!

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800

I drink an absurd amount of tea and I make videos occasionally. I adore art museums and dabble on the ukulele. My entire life, I’ve loved sharing my perspective; illustrating life as I saw it and taking photos of things I thought may be overlooked. And I even wrote a journal entry at the age of 7 stating I would someday be an artist. In a black and white composition notebook, I poorly scribbled the words: “I don’t want to be famous, but I want people to want my art.”

Nessa is an incredible photographer who is easy to work with and produces phenomenal photographs. She was happy to adapt her style to the vibe of our day (but still keep her trademark "Nessa-ness"). We wanted a photographer who wouldn't be imposing on the day and who would capture the story our wedding rather than just take a lot of clean cut portraits. That being said, the portraits we did take were also stunning, so if that's what you want, just let her know! She's great at both, just tends towards more journalistic. I plan on using Nessa again when we had kids or just need a fabulous photographer.

We are a Baltimore based wedding photography business with an incredible passion for life and love, and here at Clapp Studios we specialize in documenting the emotional moments that add meaning to our customers and their families lives. Beautiful photographs are emotional moments frozen in time for you to remember and revisit with family, friends, or a quiet moment alone - and whether in here in Maryland or at a destination miles away, we strive to create images that will be cherished for generations

Our original wedding plans changed due to the Pandemic and we had no idea what each day would bring, regarding alternate plans. However, we wanted a marriage more than anything (not just a wedding). So we stayed in contact with Mr. Clapp and he remained open to (re) scheduling and accommodating our needs. He kept my nerves at bay by reassuring me that everything would still work out. He took the time to answer all of my questions, even the repeated ones. He answered phone calls, texts, and emails within minutes. The day of the service he was on time and prepared. We had major technical difficulties and delays due to the virtual set up, but he was beyond patient and hung in there with us til the end. During the mania of it all he never made us feel like we were infringing upon his time. The pictures turned out AH-MAAAZING!!! When the complete photo album came, within a week or two, it brought me to tears. The photos were just that beautiful. Mr. Clapp has a gift of capturing every nuance and every emotion. If you want fun, professionalism, variety in poses, ease and comfort on your big day, Mr. Clapp is a sure pick! It truly was like working with family and we are so grateful to him.

I believe personal connection, the ability to be unobtrusive, and readiness to capture life's most unexpected seconds create the most authentic photography and art. My style is clean and classic – no fads or gimmicks, just you and your family captured in crisp, timeless images.

I am a mom, a sister, & a daughter. I am a pet lover. I am a crazy sports fan . I love laughing! Some of my most favorite moments revolve around laughing uncontrollably with my siblings. My son is my heart. Oh, and I am a photographer. I LOVE to take pictures. It fills my soul. It is my spirituality. It keeps me grounded and lets me fly. What I love even more, is when something that I've taken touches another. I feel as though I see the world a little differently than most. I am, at heart, an optimist and I truly enjoy finding the beauty in everything. If I can help someone else see that beauty, then my job is done.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

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!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

The team at Once Like a Spark shot my husband and I's November 2023 wedding at the Beauport Hotel Gloucester. We could never say enough TERRIFIC things!!! We are so impressed with the value of working with OLAS. Their pricing was extremely reasonable and what we got for it blew us away -- 8 hours of a photographer and second shooter, a videographer and second shooter, 400 amazing photos, a highlight reel, videos of speeches, the entire ceremony and a 45-min feature film of everything. The talent of Graham, our photographer, and Zack our videographer was seriously SO impressive. The passion they each have for their craft was so evident the day of our wedding and to see them so excited about the work got us that much more excited about it too. Additionally, they were so easy and FUN to work with! We had such a natural and positive rapport with them and they seriously made taking all the many photos required on your wedding day feel relaxed and enjoyable. In addition, Hannah was awesome to work with! She was extremely responsive with every one of the many emails I sent and made us feel like we were in great hands from the moment we signed our contract. Would recommend this team, 10/10 to anyone!

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m so grateful Nina was able to photograph our wedding! My husband and I had already booked a photographer pre-covid, but when our first date got cancelled, our original photographer wasn’t available on our new date. She referred me to Nina though, and I’m so thankful! Nina was so friendly and easy to talk to during the planning process. She was responsive, helpful, and had lots of ideas. She sent a sweet gift box prior to our wedding day that was so thoughtful! On our wedding day, she was professional and calming; qualities you want in a photographer on your wedding day! We were most excited about Nina because my husband and I prefer candid photos over staged photos. This is Nina’s style as well, so it was a great fit. We got all of our photos back recently and LOVE them!! I highly recommend booking Nina for your wedding!

We call Pennsylvania home but travel all over to photograph couples in love. When not behind the camera or working on the computer, we enjoy cocktails, coffee, cats, and hiking with our toddler, Brooklyn.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were planning our wedding, I knew that our photographer was one of the most important decisions because once that magical day is over, the only thing you will have from your wedding day (aside from a spouse and your memories!) are the photos you will have to look back on! So it was an easy decision for us to go with Sarah Brookhart. She is an absolutely incredible photographer, and you can see that in all of her photos, but her most exceptional skill is her ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera!!! Sarah took our engagement and wedding photos, and we were so nervous for our engagement photos because both my husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera. But, Sarah effortlessly makes it such a fun experience, and in doing so she captures natural and loving photos for you to treasure. It was so nice going into our wedding day knowing that Sarah would do exactly the same in capturing our love and all of the special moments from that day. Our photos are beautiful, and we highly recommend working with Sarah for all of your photo needs!! Oh, and we got our wedding photos back soooo quickly!!! In addition to the online access you have to your photos, she also sends you a beautiful package with all of your photos printed, as well as a USB with all of your photos. She goes above and beyond through all parts of the process, and it is absolutely worth every penny to work with her!

My husband Will and I got married in October and we planned everything together. Hands down, the easiest and best decision we made (besides going through with the marriage ;-)) was picking Chris as our photographer. He was so easy to work with from the get go. We set up a brief meeting, shared our vision (we wanted a "photojournalist approach"), and mapped out a schedule of events. Anything that we did not think to ask, he made sure to bring up and help make our vision more complete. Chris was excellent at capturing all of the tiny moments of the night without being in anyone's way. The pictures that he captured were absolutely STUNNING--the perfect amount of sentimental moments captured in beautiful lighting and silly off the cuff moments that captured the essence of each and every guest. We would work again with Chris in a heartbeat and friends have already requested his contact information for their ceremony. As an added bonus, because we did not end up using Chris for all of the allotted time, he offered to do a separate photoshoot whenever we would like. It's those little attention to details and customer service which make Chris stand out from the rest. Overall, Chris was kind, professional, quick to edit and publish photos, and an amazing photographer. You would not do wrong by hiring him!

Awarded Best of Zola
"When you look back at these photos years from now, what do you want to feel?" was the question that Lindsay asked my then-fiancée and me when we first met to talk about wedding photography. We said that we wanted to be transported back to that moment, and remember what it felt like being there on that day. Looking at the photos now, this is EXACTLY what Lindsay and her husband/co-photographer Greg delivered. Lindsay's photos go so far beyond just documenting what happened - they capture the joy, the emotion, the tears, the excitement. Using some kind of camera magic, she captures the cozy mood lighting of our venue exactly as it felt, the sparkle of the lights and the dark wood of the bar, no overexposed flashes or dimness at all. Our formal photos are serene and gorgeous, our dancing photos are chaotic and full of light and energy. I don't know how she caught it all, because I hardly remember seeing her on the day, but she managed to capture even the little accidental unscripted moments that might have otherwise been lost to time. The dash from the car to the venue, through the rain umbrella in hand, is now one of my favorite memories AND favorite photos, all thanks to Lindsay. On top of all that, Lindsay and Greg are just lovely people. They immediately made us feel comfortable, and quickly got us past the inherent goofiness of posing for photos. They were responsive, communicative, so easy to work with, and made sure they understood our vision for the day so they could take photos that captured it. We absolutely could not be happier with our wedding photos and wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay King Photography.

We loved every second of working with Kay! What initially drew us to her, was her style. We wanted to have that documentary/candid style of photography that captured all of our raw, cheesy, ugly laughing moments and Kay did just that. From our engagement photos to the day of our wedding, she caught all of those magical moments with all of our favorite people. On top of her amazing work, she will literally become your friend. She’s one of those people that allows you to just breathe easier. No awkwardness, no judgements, just fun and light and laughter. LOTS of laughter! We would choose Kay a hundred times more!

WOW! We think that is truly the only appropriate way to start a review about Kylee’s photography and business. To say what we thought having a photographer would be like for our wedding day versus what we got could not be more different. It feels like we gained a new best friend, with more talent than can even be described. From start to finish Kylee was amazing. Seeing someone so vocal with her support of the LGBTQ community was just a small part of making her part of our special day. Her work definitely speaks for itself, but the day of was total magic. It felt like we had a best friend with us all day, and you could feel the love all night. She worked INCREDIBLY well with our videographer, DJ, and day-of coordinator and honestly- she could probably be a day of coordinator as well with how seamlessly she helped the day run! So many of our guests have complimented her, as she did not make a single moment feel ‘staged’. She was able to capture the most important elements of our special day, without feeling like we were being ‘pulled out of the moment’ for a photograph. We do not know how she does it, but we know we made the right decision with Kylee. If you are considering Kylee B Photography for anything, DO NOT hesitate. She is unbelievable.

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

When we decided to do a courthouse wedding with little time or planning, I seriously doubted we would find a fabulous photographer. Of the local photographers that we found in a Google search, Darcy was the only one that offered affordable, smaller packages that met our needs, matched our vibe and produced incredible, perfect photos of our day. She was easy to work with, communicative, professional, and brought out the true joy of that moment. She captured posed group shots with our family, and the greatest shots of the day when we had no idea she was even shooting. At one point she told us to just go ...walk..and be yourselves. She delivered a video within days after the wedding followed by the full gallery of shots a few days later. I highly recommend Darcy to capture any event that requires special care and warmth!!

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were searching for a photographer who could capture our wedding as it really was, from the intimate moments to the wild dance floor, and Natasha's documentary-style fit our needs exactly! She listened carefully to what we wanted - minimal posed pictures, non-traditional "first look", lots of candids, etc - and she more than delivered. We had 130 guest count and Natasha covered basically every inch of our wedding day, no need or want for a second shooter. She was everywhere and so stealthy that we didn't realize she was so close to us the whole night until we got our pictures back. Our ceremony was outside and dinner/dancing were inside, and regardless of the lighting, the pictures turned out perfectly, she was even able to capture non-blurry pictures of guests jamming on a packed dance floor! She was a pleasure to work with, the instructions of her process were easy to follow from start to finish, and had a lot of examples to look through which gave us a good idea of what we were getting. We especially appreciated that she sent us a few pictures the morning after our wedding as a sneak peek, very nice touch. She's genuinely kind and calm which helped us remain present during our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed by the quality and we are too. We're thrilled we picked Natasha and highly recommend her!

He is creative and will go above and beyond to meet requirements and vision. I was very satisfied with the results and more than impressed with his post-processing skills in comparison to the original. I will hire him for my next photo shoot and have recommended him and his competitive skills to other friends.

Creative, modern photographers based out of Philadelphia. Drew and Angela are fun, relaxed and experienced. You can trust us to capture all the fun and emotional moments as well as epic portraits with ease.

Angela and Drew are the BOMB! They are husband and wife, and clearly gaga for each other, which is very very cute. They have tons of experience, so they deliver consistently amazing images. They are extremely professional, and respond quickly. And no two photos look just like any other photos. Their creativity and eye for moments will pay off years down the road when you look back at your wedding photos and smile at how each moment can transport you back to the feeling at that exact time on the day, and then you have all this gorgeous artistic and creative stuff to relish in for decades! Can’t go wrong with picking them. For real!

I mix editorial and documentary style photography for a wedding gallery that feels nostalgic and luxurious. I am here to make the never-shot-before-couple look like they belong in a magazine spread and I will capture candid, living, details and moments on your wedding day that will bring you back to that first touch time and time again. We offer wedding photography and super 8 films.

We had the full on Brittany Bear Photography experience and I can’t say enough good things! The photos and super 8 video are truly works of art. It is the perfect mix of editorial and candid photos. Britt is great at helping to pose and push you out of your comfort zone for the more editorial shots. Since we aren’t models, it took some getting used to but all I can say is to trust the process and the vision! Throughout the wedding day, we had time for those more posed shots, and otherwise, she captured unique moments happening around that felt so alive and true to the day. We also have a really unique wedding video thanks to the super 8 film that was shot. And for the full bridal experience, Britt’s boudoir add on is 100% worth it! I loved that Britt’s style wasn’t typical wedding photography, and we will forever cherish the way our big day was captured.

While documenting your wedding day, I prioritize your unique humanness, capturing the genuine and candid moments in front of me. I am not the photographer who meticulously curates images for a perfect social feed in the name of going viral. The images I am passionate about creating tell your unique story and leave you with moments turned heirlooms.

Hiring Mary was by far the best & easiest decision I have ever made. Her work is not only stunning but the way she communicates with you before stepping in front of her camera ensured me that she was the one. During the day, she made my family & I feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the lens. Her style of giving light direction was exactly what we needed to feel confident. And the photos??? TO DIE FOR! We've gotten so many compliments. I know that I will be reaching out to her for every life event moving forward.

Having your memories documented is truly one of the most important things. When we look back on our lives we are the sum of our experiences and being able to share that journey with your present and future family is such a gift.

We are so so grateful to Vicki and her work. She is kind, professional, easy going, and has a keen eye for both detail and lens work. Vicki has a generosity of spirit and a calm demeanor, both of which helped us when we ran into snafus during the day. Plus she laughed at my jokes - win-win. Extremely pleased with how our pictures have turned out - and I’ve only seen the previews yet! I can’t wait to see the final results. She captured the exact vibe we wanted, helped us feel at ease, and even capture amazing shots of our kids. We’ll cherish these for a lifetime. Thanks for being so stellar!!

We’re Matt & Melanie! Living in our first house in Annapolis, MD, we spend our days working & our nights obsessing over our little furr babies-Olive & Willow. We fell in love at the young age of 18 & have been spending 24/7 together since. Our favorite days are when we can adventure to a new city or road-trip to a different state. We like to wander & try new coffee shops & cool restaurants. We like cuddling & watching tv on lazy days. Our style is definitely retro with lots of cozy & casual & little minimal. Our favorite weddings are the ones that are a little laid back & intimate with sentimental moments.

We are the Cashmans were outstanding! They have photographed two events for us and the quality of their work was incredible. Incredibly nice and friendly! They do a great job taking the time to understand what works best for you and then deliver it! Very happy we were able to work with them!
