Timeless Photo Video provided excellent service for our wedding day photography and videography. Jamie and Matt were prompt, attentive, and captured all the special moments with an intimate, detailed style that we loved. They communicated in a timely manner leading up to the wedding and delivered the final products quickly after.

Shutter & Sound

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Columbia, MD

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

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 was absolutely incredible!! He was able to impeccably capture the beauty and joy of the day. A lot of photographers we considered had beautiful photos, but the reason we went with Justin was because you could feel the joy come through the photos and it paid off! Justin sent us the high quality, well edited photos faster than I have ever heard any wedding photographer get pictures to the bride and groom and he made it very easy for us to share those pictures with family and friends. Not only did Justin deliver beautiful photos that captured the mood of the day, but he went above and beyond his photographer duties. When all of the bridal party was racing around with wet fingernails, Justin stepped in to help button the many buttons on my dress. When we were running late to get to the ceremony, Justin called the front desk at the venue to make sure our ride was waiting for us to get to the ceremony ASAP. I cannot recommend Justin enough!!!

It was awesome to have her for the rehearsal dinner, she took great photos of us and our guests. On our wedding day she was the best!

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

The elopement photo shoot we booked was great from start to finish. Jasmine was amazing, as I expected! This was not my first time working with her. Jasmine was very professional and had great ideas for photos. All communication was clear from the beginning. The day of the event Jasmine directed everyone which I greatly appreciated. I got all of the pictures/poses I was looking for and then some. Cannot say enough good things about Jasmine and her work!

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.

I'm a lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing your keepsake moments! With work experience in event management, I understand the behind the scenes of weddings & I am fully equipped to deliver you fun AND professional service on your big day. I've captured weddings, engagements (hello crouching behind a tree to capture the proposal moment), and so much more. What I love about weddings is witnessing such happiness and love. I spend my time capturing the glances between couples, Grandma's smile, and your special details. If you want to see where attention to detail, professionalism, lightheartedness & sarcasm meet...let's chat!

I could go on and on and on about Tori! We recently booked her at the recommendation of a close friend who has used her for family photos and newborn shoots for our rehearsal dinner and it was the best decision. She was WONDERFUL! She took the perfect amount of candids and posed photos, she is wonderful with children, and the best part is we got the flawless photos back in under 2 weeks! It was the perfect way to come back from our honeymoon and relive all the moments from the evening. I will 1000% be booking Tori for any future photography needs and suggest you do the same.

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!!!

I'm here for the relationships and memories that matter and to capture all of your real moments that make your life so amazing! Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

I've had the pleasure of capturing weddings for 7 years now, and nothing excites me more than creating keepsakes and story relics for people to cherish and share with their families for years to come. To this day, I still get touched by the joy, emotion-filled tears, and raucous parties that I have the privilege to witness and be a part of! My clients feel like family, and I don’t take that honor lightly!

We are so grateful to have stumbled upon Izzy to photograph our engagement shoot! She was extremely responsive to our initial request/booking and followed up a week before the shoot to finalize details. She made us feel so comfortable for the entire session, it really felt like hanging out with an old friend. Her attention to detail and eye for creativity made these pictures even more beautiful than I could have ever hoped for. We will cherish these pictures forever!

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.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

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.

Words simply cannot describe how in AWE I am of these photos. Aside from exchanging vows getting pictures to capture our love and the love of all our closest friends and family was most important to me on our wedding day. My husband and I cannot stop looking them and cannot wait to share them with everyone we love. Not only did she artfully capture our personalities and love on this day but she also captured the love between our favorite humans on the dance floor that night. They aren’t just pictures but true pieces of art with gorgeous lighting, angles and details captured perfectly! 10/10 recommend to all!

Sarandon Smith Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,336
  • Serves Columbia, MD

I'm Sarandon (pronounced SU-RAN-DIN). I'm an artist and photographer in Baltimore, Maryland where I live with my husband, our daughter, and our Australian Shepherd pup. I have an affinity for houseplants, terrible movies, good whiskey, and dinner parties. On days off I like hunting for my next favorite bakery, perusing a museum, or gathering friends for dinner and cocktails.

Sarandon is a talented, professional, and easy to work with. Personally, as someone who hates getting their photos taken, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in front of the camera that Sarandon was working with. She made both my husband and I feel at ease, comfortable in front of the camera, and stress free on our big day. The photographs came out beautifully and on time. I would highly recommend Sarandon for your next wedding. :)

I dropped out of college to pursue photography back in 2014 and haven't looked back since. I'm an introvert at heart, but I come alive when I'm photographing what I love. I enjoy sipping coffee, exploring new places, board games, and creative projects.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Havre de Grace, Maryland. I'm grateful that capturing beautiful and once-in-a-lifetime memories is how I get to spend many of my days.

We had a wonderful experience working with Gabbi's Galleria for our wedding photography. Gabbi was extremely communicative, helpful, and attentive throughout the planning process. She was always available to hop on a call to discuss timelines, shot lists, and venue details. On the day-of, Gabbi brought an amazing energy and made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully - her artistic eye and talent for capturing candid moments resulted in dreamy, romantic images that we will treasure.

Your day, your memories, your captivating legacy, captured for years to come. I help regular brides create iconic moments so they can celebrate their love for years to come. It’s your day and your memories. Let’s celebrate with captivating photography.

I’ll preface by saying i had been married previously and photographer for my first wedding was “okay.” Krystina is the complete opposite! We hired her for both our engagement and wedding day photos. Krystina is absolutely incredible when it comes to photography and design choices. She brings such unique creativity to her work, which was fantastic for a couple who struggles in that department. She is very responsive, professional, and just so sweet and kind. Both of our families continue to rave about how she handled everything, kept us in schedule and made it look easy. She also managed to help keep my emotions and stress level at bay despite my anxiety on my wedding day. Not only are our photos absolutely stunning but her creative works like photo albums, prints and other little gift ideas are just simply incredible. We have absolutely no regrets hiring Kristina and 100% recommend her services.

After a decade of photographing weddings in and around Baltimore, I have grown to absolutely love what this city has to offer. While I am a transplant to Baltimore (go Wolverines!) how close we are to EVERYTHING is just fantastic! That's one of the main reasons I love being a Baltimore wedding photographer - there is something for everyone here. No matter where it is, each wedding is both timeless and unique to the couple.

We enjoyed using Tyler Reith as our photographer for our wedding. He did an amazing job taking photos of our wedding as well as our engagement photos. He did a wonderful job of using his artistic eye to take beautiful photos. After the wedding, he spent about 3 hours helping us pick photos to create our wedding album. I highly recommend using Tyler for your wedding.

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!

Love captured with passion, edge, and color, It’s an honor when anyone hires me If you’re looking for actual artwork from your wedding, I’m ya girl. How lucky am I that I get to celebrate love not just on Valentine’s Day but every single day, Thank you to all of my couples for choosing me to document your love story.

Brittany is nothing short of amazing! We have professional photos taken almost never so we were nervous on how to act in front of the camera for our wedding day. It was a BREEZE with Brittany! When we said goodbye at the end of the reception we told her just how natural everything felt with her throughout the day. We were able to meet her via an hour long zoom call prior to booking and she was very thorough in explaining the whole Brittany Dunbar Photography experience. We chose the package with 8 hours of coverage, two shooters and engagement photoshoot. We were able to customize this and had Brittany photograph our welcome event instead of the engagement shoot. But she still had dinner with us months before our wedding and did a mini photoshoot with us. So great! Brittany is professional, personable, nice, creative, inclusive and organized. She's got this business down to a science. We could trust her with any wedding advice even outside of photography. Her vibrant yet dark and moody style matched our wedding aesthetic perfectly. Our lighting tech mistakenly used the wrong color lighting for our reception and Brittany was able to edit this for us! We especially love the platform she uses for wedding albums. Incredibly easy to view and share with loved ones. Wishing nothing but the best for Brittany!

I’m Drew a DMV based Videographer/Photographer/Creative, I have been doing photography for 23 years.

I really enjoy capturing moments through pictures and video. I am a very mellow person and I try to prepare for all situations.

Drew Stephens Productions was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was simple yet enthusiastic, making the process smooth and enjoyable. The quality of their work was exceptional - we didn't need to edit a single photo, as they captured all the special moments beautifully. Drew and his team were great at finding wonderful locations for our portraits, and they were always punctual and efficient throughout the day. Drew was also exceptional with our young son, making him feel comfortable and getting some wonderful candid shots of him. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Drew Stephens Productions to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

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!
