Columbia, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Oakland, CA for additional fees

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
When you hire Josh, you’re hiring a peace-bringer, confidence booster, and an exceptional photographer. Of our vendors, Josh was the most frequently referenced after the wedding. Our families and friends commented on how he “made everyone feel special” and “made them feel beautiful.” We found Josh just 6 weeks before our wedding, after our wedding photographer cancelled on us due to a conflict. Even though Josh’s rates were higher than our budget, he offered to reach out to his network of photographers to see if anyone was available. The next day, Josh offered to work with us. Josh is a wonderful photographer who will bring out your (and your guests’) best. He’s also a wonderful person - kind, professional, and present. He is a one-man team who has figured out how to be everywhere you want him to be, exactly when you want him to be there - without you or your guests saying a single word. When we look back at our wedding pictures, we relive the joy of that day. Josh doesn’t just take pictures, he captures memories.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Candace shot our engagement and wedding photos and we absolutely love them! She makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful when posing. When we first got our wedding photos back I looked through them for HOURS lol, she captured everything. She sends great reminder emails, and can even provide a wedding timeline if you don’t have one! She goes above and beyond and I am so happy we found her!

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
We were fortunate enough to find Justin for our engagement photos. He rode with us for 3 and half hours to WV and spent the whole weekend with us! And that was all his idea!! We spent the weekend hanging out and taking photos at our favorite spots. We had to have Justin photograph our wedding in Asheville after that. Justin is extremely talented, and he makes everything so smooth and effortless. He's quick to respond to any and all questions, and in the midst of a crazy day, he is a calming presence. We never once felt awkward or uncomfortable while taking his direction. His eye for light and how to make you look you best is unbelievable. Not only did we come away with amazing photos to remember the best day ever, but we also made a friend in Justin. We're forever grateful to him!

Four Doves Photography Studios

5.0

Astoria, NY
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Oakland, CA for additional fees

I'm a digital & film photographer living in NYC capturing weddings, couples, and life around me. I have a genuine love for creating images you'll look back on that'll always give you butterflies! I approach photography intentionally, and am emotionally driven behind the camera. I’m all about those in-between candids and documenting in the moment, as well as artful posing. I love making genuine connections with people, and the natural friendships that can come from working together! Approaching your wedding photography as an art form is just a small part of why I absolutely love what I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Four Doves after seeing amazing photos they did for a mutual friends wedding. Early on in our engagement my [now] husband and I decided photography was definitely something we wanted to be picky about. We looked at a variety of different vendors and wanted to make sure whoever we chose didn't just have a beautiful portfolio and was reasonable in price, but also matched our more relaxed style. Rebecca certainly did and managed to capture photos of us really being ourselves. Not only was Four Doves reasonably priced for the quality but Rebecca really put us at ease with the whole process. Then, when COVID hit she was flexible and kept our day reserved despite us have no idea what we were doing. Ultimately, we had a small ceremony and Rebecca rolled with the punches. We received our teasers promptly the next day, with a generous number of pictures, and were blown away. So many people have complimented our photos and we could not be any happier with them (and thats not even the full album)! We look forward to using Four Doves for many more happy events and I would recommend you do, too!

Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan! I've had the honor of capturing all walks of life across the USA with hopes of taking it worldwide. I'm known for my use of natural light, and "unposed” stress-free approach when it comes to my clients. If you feel like you’re awkward in front of the camera, I’ll take that as a challenge to prove you wrong because I can be awkward too.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding day was exactly how I imagined it to be! Arie was on it the whole time, and I honestly didn’t even notice! She caught some great shots without being “in the way”. I worked with her for about a year, and she was ALWAYS available for questions anytime! We did a couple of zoom calls as well during the process. I felt so comfortable with her the entire day and as I said, she got so many shots I had no idea she was even there for! She was everything I wanted and more! She fit right in with my family as well! I highly recommend Arie for your wedding, if you are in the Midwest! I feel like we walked away as friends, and the pictures are stunning!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Abigail as our wedding and family photographer, and I must say she is truly amazing! Abigail is not only family-friendly but also incredibly patient and punctual. Her attention to detail and dedication to capturing the perfect moments made our experience unforgettable. Abigail's professionalism and patience of a saint truly set her apart. I highly recommend Abigail for any photography needs, as she exceeded all our expectations!

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t think I will ever find the right words for Carmen, but if you are reading this because you are still in limbo whether you want to book her for your next big event, STOP whatever it is you are doing and book her right NOW (before its too late and you regret it foreva). It took awhile for me to realize that these are not just photos you look at once in your life,but photos that you will forever be looking back to- the photos you will show your grand babies and so forth. Carmen’s attention to detail from the start is on a different level. She really takes the time to get to know each of her clients to help create each of story through her work. My husband and I are very awkward and we are the worst at posing in front of a camera- but Carmen was a natural at making us comfortable and just have fun/ being ourselves, and being in the moment. She really made us look like we were the best that we couldn’t stop posting our photos. I can go on and on about how amazing her work is- but find out for yourself and experience the magic. Carmen and her team are the BEST! In all honestly, The wedding album was the second best thing we got out of our experience with her. The friendship we were able to build is first! We love you Carmen!!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Like most children in the late 90's and early 00's, I grew up with a camera in my hand. I went through polaroids, video cameras, disposable cameras, waterproof cameras, and film cameras; all the cameras! I was so fascinated by photography and the ability to preserve moments. I'm an ENFP, 7w6, and extroverted-introvert who is not only thrilled but humbled to be a witness and historian to the significant moments in your life we are able to share together!

Lindsey not only took wonderful photos she was extremely flexible to help us out! Our wedding was on the mall in DC Nov 2019, and it so happened that the Caps won the Stanley cup and the celebration parade was going to be in DC right in the middle of our photos and ceremony... Lindsey went above and beyond and showed up early to make sure we'd have time for all the photos with traffic etc. We also thought we could hit 2 photo spots per ceremony and we.onyk got one / portrait gallery and she when through there like a boss and got.us amazing photos all around the museum.

Leah was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. She sat down with us and listened to our vision and the type of photos we were hoping to capture on our big day. She was so open to our ideas and made the whole process seem so easy (a huge win for an overstressed bride to be). She took the most stunning pictures of us and every little detail of the day. When we got our album back, I was so impressed with all the photos and especially all the little moments she caught. I also can't thank her enough for capturing my good angles... Gotta love a beautiful AND flattering photo. I cannot recommend her enough!

Hey there! I'm unfortunately no longer utilizing Zola. If you'd like to chat message me on my website! mayebetakeaphoto .com I'm a Colorado + Destination Elopement and Intimate Wedding photographer that loves adventure, bold moments, and colorful scenery. I'm all about love & adventure, no matter what that looks like for you. I’d be thrilled to go the extra mile (literally or figuratively) to capture your moments, big and small. I promise to treat your memories as if they were my own.

Couldn't recommend Sam enough if you're looking for someone to capture your engagement, elopement, wedding, or just take beautiful pictures of your family! Sam helped me plan and coordinate the most amazing proposal in Rocky Mountain National Park. I received the ring for my now fiancé earlier than expected and decided to propose to her while in Colorado that weekend. It was a last-minute change of plans, so I reached out to Sam to help make it happen. Sam went above and beyond to help organize a beautiful location, timeline, and cover story to get dressed up for pictures in RMNP. She even helped friends of ours to coordinate travel and lodging to fly out and celebrate with my fiancé and I after the proposal. Sam did all of this in the background while I was on a trip with my SO and trying to make sure she didn't get suspicious. When the day came, the location was beautiful, and Sam accounted for all of the details I never would've considered (lighting, weather, park traffic, bringing champagne and hand warmers, etc.). All I had to do was focus on the proposal. Our pictures turned out incredibly, and my fiancé was blown away by the whole day. I highly recommend Sam if you're looking for someone to go above and beyond to not just take beautiful pictures, but also help you plan all the details of your most important events.

She ensured that each moment was captured without a hitch, and we were able to enjoy the day without feeling rushed or stressed. The quality of the photos is simply outstanding.

Amidst all the craziness of your wedding day, it felt nice to have someone by your side to bring out the beauty. Who is not just there as a photographer for hire, but a forever friend capturing the special moments. Alissa also did things that she was not asked or contracted to, but just out of the kindness of her heart. She brought me bottled water to ensure that I stayed hydrated and even stayed later than we had originally laid out in the contract to make sure that my send-off was captured! She is a sweetheart and even though the photography was the biggest bill of the wedding budget, it was worth every penny, even my husband agrees. The finished product is absolutely stunning and we can’t wait to use her again for our family photos!! We highly recommend Alissa to all brides looking for a wedding photographer.

Excellent Photographer!!! Loved working with Kendra! She communicated with us throughout the whole process and her images are stunning! On the day of our wedding, she had such a calm presence and made me and my husband feel comfortable and at ease. The only thing I would change, is that I should have booked her for longer. We had a small wedding party and short ceremony so I didn’t think I would need a photographer for more than 6hrs, but I wish I would have booked her to come earlier and capture more of the pre-wedding setup and family time.

For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

I have to say that Jennifer and her assistant will forever be our Wedding Day Heroes. They arrived on time, they were professional from start to finish, and so kind to me and my family. I'm pretty sure they overheard my wedding day meltdown (I hope not) but they kept on pushing and made the whole day feel special. We didn't have a wedding party and I totally forgot about bustling my gown so Jennifer and her assistant got down on their hands and knees in the blistering heat in the Garden of my ceremony site and bustled my 15 button bustle. #weddinddayheros! At the reception they sat amongst our friends and family and fit right in. It was awesome. Their presence was so seamless, they are so genuine. If you feel like you might need a wedding day hero Jennifer and Captured Couture is definitely the way to go. She was able to provide us with a site with specific pictures of our choosing to share with out guest via a secure link. Our pictures came out beautifully. The album and metal prints we also gorgeous. Great quality. ENGAGEMENT SESSION/INITIAL MEETING REVIEW Jennifer is amazing. My partner and I discovered Captured Couture by looking for photographers who had done wedding at our venue (The Whitney-Detroit) and we couldn't be more excited to have Jennifer capture our wedding day. Jennifer is the best and I can't stress that enough. WE are having a small/intimate wedding and she came prepared with different packages to offer us based on what we asked for and our budget. We saw some of her work at our first meeting and her work was really good-a lot better than other work we'd seen from other photographers. My fiance, who is usually a hard sell, was sold on having Jennifer as our wedding photographer and so was I. During the next few months we worked with Jennifer to schedule our engagement session. We are very busy, and the weather was not working with us but luckily Jennifer was very accommodating. Our engagement shoot went off without a hitch. My partner and I are kind of camera shy but Jennifer made us feel like naturals and our pictures came out great. Before we left the shoot she showed us one of the pictures and we were in amazed at how incredible the picture looked. Jennifer is the BOMB.COM

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Cassie really takes into account the whole personality of your wedding. She was also skilled at taking pictures without overcrowding—she got so many great candids and we don't remember seeing her. These photos are going to be on display for the rest of our life together and we're so happy that we hired Cassie to capture our wedding day. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

Chris and Tyler were simply amazing to work with for our wedding photography. Extremely down to earth guys with a passion and knowledge for what they do, you’ll know you’ve made the perfect decision right off the bat. Won’t miss a beat on any requests you may have in mind either. Their ears, communication and light-hearted energy helped progress our plans with ease while capturing every piece of our big day, and all without an ounce of stress. Thanks for keeping us punctual fellas! Lol They were genuinely a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to any friend searching. We gave Chris creative reign for styling and I was quite impressed (hard critic) with the engagement photos all the way through our outpouring love, forever captured, in his work on the best day of my life so far.

Hi, I'm Jaime! I am so glad you've stumbled across my page. A little about me and my values: I love to tell love stories of honest human connection. I care about how I can represent who you are in your truest form. Your moments are meant to be captured and preserved in the most beautiful way possible. If this appeals to you and you are looking for a super fun new best friend to join you on your journey, I'd love to chat with you and be apart of the best day of your life!

How do I describe my experience with Jaime ? She creates magic. She has captured the most special moments of my family’s life. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a unforgettable and one of a kind photography experience. I first came across Jaime In 2019 while deployed overseas. As I planned a wedding from afar I found her website. Automatically I was drawn to her unique and breathtakingly beautiful photographs. Reaching out to her was the seal of the deal ! She is truly one of the most down to earth and caring individuals I have ever met. Then the pandemic hit and restrictions were set in place for our wedding in September 12th, 2020….oh and not to mention the smokiest day in Spokane’s history. Jaime came out that day and captured so many astonishing and gorgeous photographs. When we got the gallery back it brought my husband and I to tears because she captured our love perfectly. My husband and I can’t recommend her enough. We will treasure these photos forever, thank you Jaime !

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
After my (now) husband and I booked our venue we knew the next vendor that we needed to hire was a photographer. I was a semi crazy bride and I probably interviewed over 10 photographers. We were looking for someone who not only took gorgeous, bright photos but also someone we could personally connect to. As soon as we had our introductory call, we knew Kim was the one! She was so warm and thoughtful during our call - really trying to understand our love story and how we wanted our wedding to be like. I actually cried during our intro call - that's how safe I felt around her. About a couple months after we signed our contract, Kim reached out to schedule our engagement shoot. This is when my husband and I really got to connect with Kim and knew we 1000% made the right choice. Kim was super organized (which we loved) with scheduling the time, picking the location and coordinating the meet up. She made us feel so comfortable and she captured the most stunning photos. She kept us engaged and prompted questions and actions to make sure our engagement photos really captured who we were as a couple and didn't feel posed. She got to learn our goofy personalities and it was a great practice run for our big day. Now for our wedding ... omg I cannot put to words what amazing photos Kim and her team took. We just got our final gallery and it immediately brought us to tears. She was able to capture the perfect balance of posed photos but also candids. Her detail photos made it possible to re-live every moment of the day again. She also made sure we captured all our family portraits (even though they were super large). She truly felt like a best friend who was around during out most special day who just happened to also snap a lot of photos. Our bridal party loved having her around and we were all so comfortable. She made prepping for our wedding day as effortless and stress free as possible. Before our wedding we had calls to walk through our shot list, timelines. She was super engaged and organized - giving all the tips she could to keep us on track. She delivered our sneak peeks SO quickly. We had them a couple days after our wedding to enjoy and cry over them while we were on our honeymoon. She also delivered our final gallery within 2 months! I can't recommend Kim enough- she's not just a super talented photographer but she's also a beautiful soul who has truly become our friend through this whole process. Can't wait to keep re-living our wedding day through her photos!!

My fiancè and I booked a sunrise engagement shoot with Murtaza. From the day we first reached out, Murtaza was extremely professional, kind, and quick to respond. Murtaza was very accommodating of our limited schedules, and held several calls with us before the shoot to make sure every detail would be exactly what we wanted. On the actual day of the shoot, we were nervous as we don’t like having our photos taken. Murtaza made us instantly feel at ease with his kindness and radiant positivity. He patiently worked with us to pick our best angles, but also included fun, dynamic prompts that made us forget about the camera and not look stiff. As an added bonus, within a few minutes of leaving the shooting site, Murtaza sent us a sneak peek he had already edited! We treasured these until we received the full package of edited photos, which were stunning beyond our expectations or hopes. I would highly recommend Murtaza on his qualifications as a photographer alone, but his genuinely warm personality and infectious positivity truly distinguish him from the rest. Murtaza is a gem!

At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling.

Ashly and her team did such an amazing job with my wedding photos! Their communication leading up to my wedding was spot-on (not too frequent but often enough that I knew they were on top of it)! Day of, they were so helpful in giving my husband and I and our families ideas for poses and making us feel so comfortable and natural. After our couple shots, I honestly didn't even notice they were at the reception and on the dance floor with us, which was amazing because everyone felt so comfortable with them. I would highly HIGHLY recommend Ashley and her team to anyone!!!

Kyra and her team are nothing short of amazing. She was always quick responding to emails, providing timelines, and very thorough and detail oriented. She was amazing at making sure to get all the photos we wanted done and we loved the poses she has us do. All of the photos we got back were gorgeous and genuine. Throughout the process Kyra felt more like a friend than a vendor, she was always there to offer a helping hand, provide advice and just radiated positive energy. 15/10 would recommend to everyone!

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

I know Dasha for many years and love working with her both on the weddings and on my personal inspirational projects (she’d shoot a number of my dresses over the years) Dasha is very easy going person, who’s always up for something new and creative.

As someone who spends most of my time BEHIND the lens (I'm also a photographer) I was a little nervous getting in FRONT of it for our couples session... Shannon immediately crushed those nerves with her energy, excitement, and direction. My husband and I had an absolute BLAST frolicking around the Oregon Coast with her during our sunrise session. We had the privilege of getting to know Shannon and her husband in the days prior to our session and all I can say is they are such beautiful people - inside and out. The moments she captured for us are so true to who we are and I am forever grateful to have these memories.

Hi! I'm Chrissy. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings and meet tons of awesome couples since 2014. I'm based in Boston, MA but I'm always more than happy to travel anywhere your adventure takes you. My work has brought me as far as Tokyo and I'm so ready to explore more new places!

Chrissy was everything we could've wanted in a photographer. She was communicative, honest, timely, and took the best photographs of our wedding. She captured everything we asked and more, and made everything so easy. Everyone at the wedding commented on how awesome she was, and it truly felt like working with an old friend. We would recommend Chrissy to everyone and anyone!

I'm Jess, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Sacramento, CA. I know the wedding planning process can be quite overwhelming, and that's why I'm here to help you at every step leading up to your special day. I take pride in making a comfortable environment while I take photos, so people can feel like their most confident, beautiful selves. I get the most satisfaction when couples see their photos for the first time and are amazed at how stunning they look. I love showcasing what I see through my lens and giving people the confidence they didn’t know they had!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess truly has a gift, and it's not just her artistic eye. It's her! We love her energy and the way she makes us feel really comfortable during her shoots no matter the location. She always has fun posing ideas and was also up for a few of our own crazy ideas (including riding a jet ski in our formal clothes!). Her photos really encapsulated our personalities and love. Jess has now captured all of my major life milestones: college graduation, professional headshots for my first big girl job, my engagement, my wedding, and our first photoshoot for our business. If you’re ever looking for a super talented photographer to work with, but also someone that will become your friend in the process, I highly recommend Jess. She’s the biggest sweetheart, wildly intelligent, and just an all around treat to have in your life. Jess has beautifully captured our journey so far, and we will continue to ask her to capture our path to come.
