Hey there! I'm Jamila. I'm a photographer capturing love by day and saving lives in the ER at night. My favorite part of photography is being able to gracefully capture the candid love story between a couple *chefs kiss*. Capturing the rare and natural beauty of love is my niche - and also helping you share those timeless memories with your loved ones. Your photoshoot should be a story to tell through pictures - catching him softly caressing away the grazing hair from your jubilant face or - her effortlessly jumping into your arms and dancing to the song that brought you both together. I respond quickly with my website listed in the URL.

“By Jamila Photo was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. She was incredibly easy to communicate with, providing quick responses to all of our questions throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Jamila captured our day beautifully, with a natural and candid style that perfectly reflected the joy and intimacy of the occasion. They paid close attention to all the small details, ensuring that no special moment was missed. Jamila was also extremely kind and easy to work with, helping us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. We are thrilled with the gorgeous photos that captured the spirit of our special day, and would highly recommend By Jamila Photo to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography!”

“We first met Wendy a few weeks before our wedding to do a walkthrough of the venue, and instantly fell in love with her. We knew right away that she would be a dream to work with on our wedding day, and we were right! Wendy and Liz made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and kept us laughing and giggling right from the very beginning. The photos were so amazing! They were clear and beautiful and there was a wonderful balance of both candid and posed photos that captured the details of the day. We got pregnant soon after getting married and when our son was born, there was not a second of hesitation in choosing Wendy for our newborn photos. Once again, Wendy and Liz showed up with the same positive and high energy attitudes that we experienced on our wedding day, and the photos captured our son Charlie perfectly. We have since done a mini-shoot for holiday cards and another newborn photo shoot. Every time, Alex and I have to debate over which picture is the BEST to use because there are so many great ones. Beware - if you do a mini-shoot you will want to buy all of the photos :) Wendy and Liz are fun, passionate, caring and patient. They will do anything to get the perfect shot and put you completely at ease. They have been such an integral part of capturing important moments in our family from day one. Hopefully you will get to experience the same pleasure of working with them that we have.”

Erin Kelleher Photography

Serves Bivalve, MD

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.

“Long review coming, but I can't help myself. Erin was the best decision of my wedding! I cared about three things for my wedding, and photography was one of them. Finding a photographer was a daunting task since at the end of the day I knew I would leave with two things: my husband and my pictures. From the very beginning, Erin was a delight to work with. Photography, one of my top priorities, became my lowest stressor leading up to my wedding and the day of. Erin is a phenomenal communicator. She is clear, timely, and respectful. She asked about our photography desires, encouraged questions, and confirmed information to ensure that we achieved what we wanted. Erin always responded quickly which was so helpful when trying to coordinate everything needed for a wedding. The day of the wedding she and her second photographer, Monica (an absolute gem!!), were excellent communicators with all of the adults and children present when relaying what they wanted and needed us to do for photos. They helped with poses and gave amazing feedback (both positive and adjustments needed) throughout the day to help us feel comfortable and get good shots (neither my husband nor myself are natural at posing, but our photos turned out amazing)! Erin is calm, organized, and KIND (exactly what a couple needs during the planning process and on the wedding day)! Everything was clearly outlined prior to signing a contract. Once signing, you have a login to see all of your information in one place (contract, payments, questionnaire, etc.) which makes it so easy to keep track of everything related to our photography. As a Type A person, I so appreciated how clear and organized all of the information was. She has a second photographer included on the wedding day who helps keep track of the previously-determined photos (confirmed during a phone call) and ensures that everyone is in place so photos don't take a million hours. We were able to complete all pre- and post-ceremony pictures (we had a lot) in about an hour total for both. She was so sweet and made both of us feel unbelievably comfortable. She's someone you'll genuinely want to stay friends with after the wedding! Both Erin and Monica were so thorough and detailed. Not only did they review everything I didn't know I needed to think about prior to the wedding, but the day of the wedding they handled everything with such attention to detail that it completely removed all pressure from us and our families. Erin and Monica knew the photos we wanted and made sure to get all of them throughout the day. They constantly helped adjust my gown, veil, hair, and poses to ensure that not only the framing and lighting was perfect (which it was), but that there were no little details out of place that would drive OCD me crazy haha. They also brought tremendous equipment that allowed them to shoot multiple ways in multiple lighting scenarios. We were married in an old church, had a reception in a wood-paneled moody, dark room, and finished with photos at the Jefferson Memorial. Every single venue had perfectly lit photos. They both jumped around, walked up and down, switched out cameras, and straight up WORKED (at impeccable speed) to get us so many amazing angles and photos. On top of everything. Erin helped us create beautiful photo albums for us and our parents. To say Erin is worth the investment is the understatement of the century. We are forever grateful to her for capturing our important day!”

We were initially drawn to Richard because we liked his style, and then after chatting with him on the phone it was clear that he was not only a professional but passionate about his work. He described his style while working as "constantly on the hunt for those moments to capture," and that couldn't be more true! Besides the usual photos you'd expect from wedding photography of the bride & groom, family, and wedding party (all of which came out great, by the way), we loved how many moments around the ceremony and reception Richard was able to capture that we weren't even aware of at the time! It was impressive watching him work: a one man show with his head on a swivel, never hesitating to drop to the floor or get up on a chair to get the right shot if he thought that's what the moment called for. And wow did the photos come out great! We are so happy that we hired Richard for our wedding and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!”

She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference.

“We loved having Valerie as our wedding photographer. Multiple people commented on how quick she was and we loved our photos. Valerie was communicative and professional. We could not recommend her more!”

On Sundays during football season, you can find us in our living room eating homemade wings and cheering on the Cowboys and yelling at the refs because let's face it, any call against Dallas is wrong. LOL, We have four wonderful children; one boy and three girls. If we aren't cheering my kids on in their sports or activities, Lauren is usually making homemade cupcakes or a new dish for my family and friends. We love meeting new friends we haven't met yet through photography and it's a blast hanging with those friends we have. At Shutter & Snap, we want to tell your story, while also being fun!

“Shutter and Snap Photography has been nothing but a pleasure to work with! I’ve worked with them on multiple occasions including as second and associate photographers! Steve and Lauren are kind and so easy to connect with - I’ve received nothing but great feedback regarding their professionalism at events and have witnessed that myself through the many weddings I’ve photographed with them. They’re prompt and timely, remaining organized to efficiently photograph everything expected of them and more! Their true to life yet warm colors are sure to make all of your wedding photos feel like a dream!”

I am a Wedding, Portrait, and Event Photographer. I’m based out of Northern Virginia, but I enjoy traveling to Virginia Beach and other destinations. I’m a Mermaid at heart, so naturally, my favorite place to be is by the sea. I am married to my best friend, Michael, and we have 2 pups named Lily Mae & Sir Chance. I have the biggest heart for the ocean and all of its living things! My favorite aquatic animals are sharks! I would love to add that I am a Shark Photographer on top of being a Wedding & Portrait photographer. I am the Founder of The Mermaid Series Blog.

“Kristin Lorraine Photography, LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, they were incredibly responsive, quick to answer any questions we had, and provided thorough information about their services. On the day of our wedding, the photographers were professional, discreet, and captured all the important moments we had requested. The quality of their work was simply amazing - the photos truly showcase the joy and beauty of our special day. Kristin Lorraine Photography was worth every penny, and we are thrilled to have such beautiful memories to look back on. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.”
