Lotus Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves California, MD

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I fell in love with capturing weddings in 2017 and I have been hooked ever since!

Georgette took our engagement portraits in DC at sunrise and they are absolutely stunning images! Georgette’s energy and excitement about her work is truly infectious, and she made our shoot so enjoyable! We laughed the whole time and had so much FUN. Georgette did an awesome job of helping us find natural poses that photographed really well, while also embracing any spontaneous moments during the shoot (we love a jumping shot!) She captured our personalities so well. The images are absolutely stunning and bring back warm memories of our amazing experience capturing our engagement photos. :)

Natasha Lamalle Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves California, MD

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
If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

I would recommend her both professionally to clients and personally to friends and family.

Olga Gurton is a Siberia-born photographer who has been working as a Maryland engagement photographer and wedding photographer for well over half a decade.

The Lauren Louise Collective

  • Classic style

  • Serves California, MD

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

The Lauren Louise Collective team has always been at the top of their game with professionalism and beautiful work. They are easy to work with, fun and it shows how much they truly love their job! Since meeting Lauren it has always been a team player attitude for anything and everything pertaining to couples and their day and it truly shows in the gorgeous imagery she captures. I have always said that Lauren has a way of capturing people at their best!

I am more than just a wedding photographer. I am also your hype woman, go-to for all wedding planning questions and day-of help, and #1 cheerleader during the wedding planning process. Ask any of my past couples... I will definitely be on the dance floor at your reception! I pride myself on helping my clients feel comfortable in front of my lens. You would not believe how many times clients have told me they don't like taking photos or "aren't photogenic," and then end up loving their photos! I am based in the DC area, and central Texas.

I can't say enough great things about Anna! She took photos for our wedding welcome party, and they are gorgeous - she got the lighting perfect (and it was challenging in a dark room!), got every shot I even imagined, and turned around sneak peeks truly the SAME evening! I was so pleased with the entire process from start to finish and would recommend Anna to anyone looking for a photographer!

Best Wedding Photographer EVER! I can't put into words how wonderful Jenna is and how much my husband and I loved having her photograph our wedding! Photography was very important to us and the images Jenna captured on our wedding day are nothing short of a dream! We knew shortly after meeting with her that we were a great personality match and she's someone we'd enjoy spending our wedding day with. Leading up to our wedding, Jenna was very supportive and willing to meet with us to discuss details. We had already had engagement photos done by the time we met with Jenna, so we met her in person for the first time on our big day but it felt like we already knew each other. She was so flexible and positive throughout the day (which did include some surprise rain showers, putting us a bit on edge). She really listened to us and understood what we were looking for and was just so fun to have around on our wedding day- all our family and friends loved her. Jenna continued to communicate regularly from our wedding up until our gallery was ready. She provided some sneak peeks quickly, and was even willing to edit and send a few specific photos in the timeframe while she was editing. We could not love our gallery more - especially the film photos! Highly recommend Jenna for wedding photography - she's awesome and you will have nothing to worry about on your big day!

It is so nice to have you here! I am a Charlottesville Washington DC and Virginia Wedding Photographer who creates artful film-inspired imagery with a combination of timeless editorial and hybrid candid photography that recreates tangible memories of what matters most: you and your authentic love story. With a passion for wanderlust and most importantly my family, I know that life's most cherished moments are fleeting. It's an honor to create emotional love-story centered heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.

We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. 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. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Hello, congratulations on your engagement! So happy you've found me! Weddings are such a special time for you, the newly engaged couple and all of your family & friends. I want to celebrate your love and make it so you can relive it for years and years to come! I want you to see yourselves shining through your photos and not me, the photographer. I want you to be comfortable and completely relaxed for your whole wedding day. I promise to keep things fun, upbeat, and sometimes more important I promise to capture every little detail but still make sure that you enjoy every part of the day that you have worked so very hard to create!

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision I made for our wedding was hiring Ashlee as our photographer! She got back to my emails quickly and communicated well throughout the time leading up to our wedding. Our pictures were the most important part for me. I was 100% confident in my decision simply from our engagement pictures Ashlee took. She actually got my husband to loosen up, smile, and have fun while taking pictures. Our wedding day was no different. She had us laughing and playing around, and she truly captured our love and fun. The entire wedding party and our parents kept saying how amazing Ashlee and her second photographer, Taylor, were. They both worked so well together and with our party. They captured all the groups of people I wanted, and all of the other images I wanted as well, such as the details of everything I made for the wedding (flowers, centerpieces, signs) and specific shots of us around the venue. Ashlee even captured moments I had no idea she was there for which I love. We got our pictures back really fast. All of them are gorgeous. I can't stop looking at them! They aren't just staged poses. They're fun, loving, and most importantly, real. Ashlee's pictures show your true personality and capture the moments you never want to forget for the rest of your lives. I can relive every part of that day thanks to Ashlee and her incredible photography. It'll be the best decision you make, too!

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

Vanessa was fantastic! Start to finish, she was so committed to making sure she captured our wedding how we wanted. She is fun and easygoing, which made working with her a breeze. Amongst the chaos of a wedding day, it’s so important to have a photographer who is cool, calm, and collected. Vanessa and Patrick were both dedicated to capturing the planned photos (diligently checking off each photo in a shot list) and unplanned candids throughout the night. Thank you Vanessa! Highly highly recommend!!

Alex Hines Photography is for the modern-styled couple who takes priority in tangible memories; memories that are timeless and unforgettable. Couples who value human connection and legacy. A wedding day is captured in a journalistic or documentary approach with very little guidance. With elegance and class, I specialize in off-guard flattering photos capturing in-the-moment emotion.

Alex is the most calm, cool, and collected photographer to work with! From day one she got our vision for photojournalistic shots, and coached us throughout several changes during the wedding process. If you’re looking for someone who’s extremely organized, professional, and flexible, Alex is the best!

Since 2012, I have been creating authentic, organic images full of life and natural beauty. My passion is to capture the laughter, embraces, tears, and little moments occurring throughout your wedding day - I strive to create photographs that reflect the beauty that exists in the world around us, and provide something that each family would be proud to pass down from generation to generation.

Cat of SilverFire Photography has mastered her craft. She truly has an eye for photography and an artistry for capturing beautiful moments. We can’t stress how EASY and fun it was to work with her. Even after we spoke with her via zoom on our initial scouting phase for a photographer - my now husband and I instantly knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding. She just has this genuine attitude towards things that is so infectious! We have lost count of the number of times people have said during and after our wedding how much they loved our photographer. We really appreciate how intuitive she is and her direction for poses was incredibly natural and endearing. She knows how to take the beautiful posed-photos as well as the candid b-rolls. We also booked the photo booth package and our guests loved it so much! It was such an honor to have her photograph our wedding. We also are thankful for her second shooter Jonathan who assisted in everything! The photos she gave were so beautiful. We were speechless and over the moon at these priceless forever moments she was able to capture. Seriously, you won’t regret having Cat/Silverfire be your official photographer. We’re beyond grateful, thank you for doing what you do. We wish you more success and you’ve made Alex and I forever happy with these photos, Cat!

Based in Maryland, capture love story worldwide. We work to keep your timeless, intimate, lifetime, romantic, meaningful moments FOREVER. Limited amount of weddings each year so I can get to know you better and create the highest quality of work.

I was so stressed since we started preparing our wedding. Once we booked with Aira, she’s always there for me. She answered questions and provided great ideas. We were running late on our weddings, I was so worried, but Aira kept on telling me that how great we were and she captured everything I wanted. My husband and I were crying when we were watching the slideshow. All the feelings came back at that moment! Can’t thank her more!

Hi I'm Christian! I am a wife, and mother of four who loves any adventure with a passport involved. I am a huge travel junky who loves exploring new places, food, and culture. I fell in love with photography while traveling the world as a child. Years later, I tell the unqiue love stories of stylish, wanderlust couples, who are madly in love. I absolutely love photographing weddings and the relationships I build with the couples I serve. On wedding days you can catch me with two cameras on each hip making sure that every detail is captured.

Christian was a pleasure to work with. She captured absolutely beautiful moments during my wedding and her attention to detail was top notch. She and her staff were very professional. I would highly recommend Christian!
