Enamored Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves California, MD for additional fees

Thank you for visiting our profile! I'm Mel (Lead Photographer) and my spicy latin queen, wife and BFF, Alegna is the second shooter/editor. It's been 20 years and 5 jewels later since our "I do" moment. We are passionate about capturing the beginning of a lifetime of love. This is more than a business to us. It's a passion! Our motto is: "Love the moment. Live it forever."

Awarded Best of Zola
I was fortunate to find Enamored for my wedding. In the limited time I had, Alegna kept me on target to get everything done. It’s obvious she’s done a lot of weddings. I don’t think anyone else could help me pull off a beautiful wedding in less than a month. The pictures taken by Mel are simply marvelous. He has an easy going demeanor that made us comfortable when taking pictures and he’s always thinking about the next shot which made the photo sessions quick but thorough. The whole family was instrumental in the wedding being stress free and wonderful. I can’t imagine what they could do with more planning time!

Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day. He gives enough direction without it feeling like he's just shouting at you; the photos we've received so far are edited SO beautifully; and he worked with us to curate a mix of posed and candid shots to perfectly capture our big day! I feel like we got so lucky booking Svat and would definitely work with him again, given the opportunity!

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Working with Kelsey for our engagement photos was an absolute delight! Despite the rainy weather, Kelsey's positive energy and expertise turned the day around for us. Not only did she manage to capture such beautiful shots when the sun broke through the clouds, but she also made the entire experience incredibly enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with the results and are grateful for Kelsey's talent and professionalism. She turned what could have been a gloomy day into a memorable and magical experience. We highly recommend Kelsey to anyone seeking a photographer who not only captures those special moments, but also brings warmth and positivity to every shoot.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

I’m Jaimee—a storyteller, world traveler, and lover of old stuff. With over 100 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that wedding days are about presence > perfection. My documentary-style photography is honest, fun, and rooted in telling your story exactly as it unfolds—raw, real, and beautifully yours. I’m passionate about capturing the moments that matter most: your partner’s look during the vows, friends dancing like no one’s watching, and those in-between moments you might miss but will cherish forever. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m immersed in nature, treasure hunting in antique shops, or planning my next adventure.

If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures the essence of your love but also makes the entire elopement experience feel effortless, Jaimee is the one you need. From our first interaction to the final photos, Jaimee’s approach was warm, professional, and deeply intuitive. The final photos were nothing short of stunning. Each shot perfectly encapsulated the love, joy, and authenticity of our day. We cherish every image, and they will forever serve as beautiful reminders of our special moments together. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also truly cares about telling your unique story, we can't recommend Jaimee enough. She exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so lucky to have had her by our side during such a special time in our lives.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough.

Making personal connection with you is important to me. I believe in serving couples from every background and the more I learn about you the better I can serve you as your wedding photographer. I currently reside in DC but have also living in LA, The Bay Area, and Morocco.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

The end result told the story of our wedding beautifully through clean, visually striking images that we will treasure. The quality of Casey's work far exceeded our expectations for what we paid. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any couple looking for a talented photographer who will capture the essence of your special day.

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted community of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, storytelling side, with hints of sophisticatication, hues of modern relevance & overall timeless imagery.

Jesi B. Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, she was incredibly responsive and provided great direction throughout the entire process. As a photographer myself, my wife and I knew how important it was to find someone truly exceptional, and Jesi B. exceeded our expectations in every way. The quality of her work is simply top-tier - the photos are stunning and truly captured the joy and beauty of our special day. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Jesi B. Photography, as she took care of everything seamlessly. We are so grateful to have found her and would not hesitate to use her again in the future. Very glad we did!

Jack Wylde (they/them) (name in progress) I am an Inclusive Wedding Photographer blends fine art with authentic storytelling, creating images that feel timeless and deeply personal. Inspired by the richness of romantic paintings, I capture love with moody tones, candid moments, and creative angles. From elopements at sunrise to backyard celebrations under the stars, I celebrate all types of unions—LGBTQIA+, non-traditional, eco-friendly, and more. Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a small, courthouse wedding, but you’d never know it from the photos From GA with Love took—they made our day look like something straight out of a movie. One photo we adore is of us walking out of the courthouse hand in hand, with the morning light casting our shadows on the pavement—it’s such a subtle but powerful reminder of the promises we made that day. They also captured the raw joy of our rooftop reception later that evening. One shot, taken from above through a skylight, shows us dancing surrounded by our chosen family, the city lights glowing in the background. It’s such an unexpected and beautiful perspective that perfectly sums up the magic of our unconventional celebration. Their work is not just photography—it’s storytelling, and it’s clear they truly understand and celebrate love in all its forms.

We aren't people who really love having our pictures taken and Katie was understanding of that, while also making sure we got what we wanted (even though we might not have understood that ourselves.) We highly recommend Katie to any couple seeking a talented, personable photographer for their big day.

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

Jandi Nelson Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Jandi was enthusiastic, energetic, outgoing, and funny, which immediately put my husband (who is very shy and nervous) at ease.

The overall experience was amazing, as Jandi's bubbly personality made us both feel comfortable and she was able to capture all the special moments of our big day.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Chris photographed our wedding in October of 2021 and did an INCREDIBLE job. We started with an engagement shoot that was a great way to practice for our wedding day. We learned all of the popular poses so that on our actual wedding day we didn’t feel awkward posing. He was incredibly organized and thorough throughout the entire process and the results were perfect. The entire day was planned out and he photographed every shot we wanted. We also had a beautiful wedding video and I had special requests for the video that he easily accommodated! The entire day ran smoothly thanks to his organization. He was extremely professional but we also had SO much fun. I felt like I was with a friend throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Chris for any event.

Hey friends! My name is Mandi and I'm a Baltimore-born lover of traveling, kitty cats, and ice cream! I am the happiest girl in the world when I am by the water. Being outside enjoying the warm sun, feeling a cool breeze, and laughing with friends and family by the Chesapeake just make my heart sing! When I’m not busy working on beautiful weddings, I’m trying to motivate myself to go for a run or I’m curled up on the couch with my husband, my 3 cats & a true crime doc. You'll always find me decked out in bright colors, no matter what time of year! As a native Marylander, I love getting out and exploring more of my home state - and beyond!

Mandi was an absolute DREAM to work with! From the moment we first spoke, her enthusiastic, passionate, and caring approach put us at ease. On the day of the wedding (and during our engagement session), Mandi kept everything so fun & professional. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera as this was both our first time working with a photographer!! Even though it was her first time at our venue, the quality of her work shows. She is simply incredible, and her work is so picturesque! Mandi truly shot the most stunning photos that captured the most special moments of our big day! We are so lucky to have worked with Chesapeake Charm Photography and we can't wait to see the full gallery-- we know the images will be treasured memories for a lifetime! I can’t say enough good things. If you’re able, work with Mandi!!!

If I could give more than five stars I would! Kelly is the absolute best! Kelly is professional, supportive, calm, yet assertive (needed with a large bridal party). She is absolutely everything we wanted in a wedding photographer and more. Kelly shot our engagement pictures as well as our wedding day. Both shoots were available for us within a very reasonable time which is great when you are anxious to see the result. The wedding photos are filed into categories which makes it very easy when downloading your favorites. We had way more wedding photos than we thought we would get which is a fantastic surprise. Kelly's photographs are soft, but also true to color which was exactly what we wanted. Kelly made us feel completely comfortable during photos and is so kind. She also worked super well with our other vendors (videographer, etc.). We absolutely love her work and are unbelievably thrilled that we chose her to be our wedding photographer. If you are considering using Kelly, do it! You will not be disappointed.
