No amount of words can express our gratitude to Lester & Dreisbach Photography and I could spend all day talking about how wonderful they are. They are beyond amazing and such beautiful human beings! We had searched high & low for the perfect fit and they both exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was back in November 2021 and the weather was pretty much all seasons rolled into one day making things extremely difficult and how they made it all work is a miracle! From our first Skype meeting(thanks Covid) they were so warm, friendly, down to earth and such fun, we talked for hours! We literally booked them that day as we didn't want anyone else. The communication was fantastic and their service was like no other, especially during such an uncertain time with Covid. They were flexible and really made us feel special on our day, you can see just how passionate they are about their craft! Their passion is infectious and we had sooooooo much fun having our photos taken by them, the freezing cold wind & jumping over fences were all made worth it. They're both so dedicated and one of our photos always makes me smile knowing that they had thrown my veil up into the air to try and get a great shot and had to run off into the bushes to avoid being in the photo(their dedication and yet care for you is next level!). They also made all our guests feel super at ease when taking photos. Considering how short on time we were and the weather constraints, we got so many amazing photos and we loved that you not only get the "editorial"/artistic shots but also beautiful candid moments captured that you don't even see yourself! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much we are forever grateful for having been able to have you apart of our special day!

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!!!

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.

  • Serves Columbia, MD

I am a Traveling Wedding Photographer and I have been taking pictures since my cousin gave me a disposable camera at the age of ten. I have my bachelors degree from Ringling College of Art and Design and my Masters from Florida State University. I’m a fine artist, wife, plant mom and gardener, reality tv addicted, cat lover, and live music fan who can also throw down in the kitchen. Capturing moments is such a privilege and that’s how I feel about every single job I’m hired for.

I had met Justine in college several years before I was engaged, so had followed her on Instagram when she originally got started with wedding photography. After my engagement she was the first vendor I booked; I knew immediately she was the photographer for us. I have always loved her style and the happiness that exudes from all of her photographs. She knows exactly when to hit the button to capture the perfect moment. Without asking her to, she ended up capturing a “first look” moment when my grandfather saw me in my dress for the first time. He passed away shortly after, and I am so grateful that I have that photograph to remember how special that moment was. She made us feel so comfortable and all of our guests loved her too. I can’t recommend her enough!! Booking Justine will be the best decision you can make for vendors on your wedding day.

When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Karisa was truly amazing - from the beginning through the end. She was always very responsive, and was professional but also so much fun. She was the perfect mix of keeping us on schedule during our wedding day but also having candid moments without being stressed. She delivered our pictures on time and they were so good we love them!

Weddings are about promises, and the messy wonderful magic that is marriage. Each wedding I shoot is deeply personal to me. I’m inspired by nostalgia, history, and your story. The smallest details you’ve curated and created, the family who may be all together for the first time in years, the expectation and celebration woven through this one day. No wedding day is the same and my passion is the searching out of the moments and emotions unique to your day.

Alisia is a complete dream to work with! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also patient, calm and makes her clients feel comfortable. She's always smiling and cheerful while staying on task and getting all of the most special shots. I would 100% recommend Alisia to any couple looking for a photographer. Her photographs are heirlooms that they will treasure forever.

Geneva is truly amazing to work with! As a wedding planner, I've seen her in action behind the scenes and she consistently creates beautiful, timeless photos that you'll want to proudly display in your home. Taking photos can be nerve-wracking for couples. You might worry that you'll come across as awkward or not know what to do with your hands. Geneva's got you covered. She has countless pose ideas and makes sure you have a lot of fun while doing it so that those smiles in your pictures are 100% genuine and authentic. I've enjoyed my work with Geneva so much, that I've also hired her to take my own photos. She does not disappoint and I absolutely cannot wait to do it again!

I am a photographer based in Washington, DC, specializing in weddings and portraits, with a focus on creating joyful, romantic, and timeless images. It would be an honor to document the significant moments in your life. I believe each event deserves to be celebrated with heartfelt enthusiasm and attention to detail.

Awarded Best of Zola
As you’ll come to see with vendors, not all of them are very responsive, Barbora was always responsive no matter what time I texted her and had a question to ask her prior to the wedding. She’s punctual (something I care a lot about), she’s very organized (had a timeline and stuck to it) she is also very reliable so that made me comfortable. On the wedding day, she was a delight to be around. She worked so so hard. I literally got to a point where I had to remind her to go have her meal. She took what I thought were beautiful pictures. I wanted spontaneous and organic pictures and she captured just that. I am very awkward in front of the camera (and so is my husband), she helped direct us and made us comfortable. I also wanted pictures in front of the DC monuments, as you can imagine they’re crazy busy on the weekend but she managed to direct us along with the rest of our group and took some of the most beautiful photos (I thought). What I valued the most about Barbora is that it felt like she genuinely cared. It wasn’t a job that she had to go to, she really enjoyed what she was doing.

Hi, I’m Trina! A fine art style wedding photographer based in Washington D.C. My passion for the art of photography runs deep. My style is influenced by mid-century editorial fashion photography and European Renaissance Art. Rooted in the art of idyllic narration, my work captures your love story through a lens that mixes elegance, sophistication, and modernism with a twinge of romantic nostalgia. At the heart of Verdandi is a love affair with nuance, empathy, and impactful photographic composition. Let’s create a beautiful work of art together!

Verdandi Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Trina was communicative, receptive, and enthusiastic about capturing our special day. Trina is both brilliant, authentic, and get creative work truly exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for her as a human and as a photographer, she blew us away. She is so authentic and down-to-earth that we genuinely enjoyed the engagement shoot and our wedding portraits! While I’m glad to be past wedding planning, we miss our Trina check ins since she brought so much good energy to the planning process.

Experience: Over 25 years as a full time wedding photographer/videographer and having photographed over 2000 weddings. We are Storyteller wedding photographers/videographers. We tell our clients’ stories, not our own. This automatically requires that we talk to our clients about what is important to them, and that we listen and deliver. “Photography is not just a way to document the world around you, but it can open the door to be an Artist and have an outlet for the creative process.” Relationship: I want to get to know you and I target my images to your desires.

From start to finish, Frank demonstrated exceptional professionalism and skill. One of the standout aspects was his responsiveness. Every email I sent received a prompt and thoughtful reply, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. His proactive communication and willingness to address any questions or concerns made a significant difference in our experience. The quality of the photos was nothing short of outstanding. Each image was beautifully composed, capturing the essence and emotion of our wedding. Our friends and family were also impressed with the convenience of accessing their own photos via download links—a thoughtful touch that added to the overall positive experience. If you're looking for a photographer who combines professionalism with artistic excellence, I highly recommend Frank. He truly helped make our special day unforgettable with his remarkable work.
