  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

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.

Justin was amazing to work with from beginning to end. He was responsive to our emails and was quick to set up a virtual meeting so that we could both meet and get to know each other. We could tell he understood our vision from the get go. During our micro wedding photoshoot, he arrived early and did a full scan of the location to make sure we got the most optimal lighting and angle. This was the first time my husband and I ever took photos together so Justin's jokes and guidance really helped us. He made us feel so comfortable during the photoshoot which showed in the final results; we have so many candid photos that we love! I would totally recommend him to anyone that is looking for a hard working and fun photographer!

A German import and world traveler who is obsessed with her adopted home of beautiful Old Ellicott City, Maryland. 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! Highly recommend Izzy to anyone looking for an engagement/wedding photographer!

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 INCREDIBLE! I interviewed a few different vendors for our photographer and I am beyond impressed with Brittany’s professionalism, communication, and work!! You can just feel how much she cares about your day and bringing your vision to life. She brought props for the detail photos that I would have forgotten about. Was on board for a last minute decision to do a photo race to get photos with all 220 of our guests. I explained a confetti photo I wanted to Brittany in our very first call and I am ecstatic how it turned out and how she really captured us throughout the day. I felt supported by her, knew what phase of the process we were at at all times (even with her having a baby a few months before my wedding) and her professionalism on the day of the wedding were exactly what you want and expect when hiring someone to capture your memories. I LOVED working with her!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, our experience with Lee was nothing short of amazing!!! When we first met Lee in 2019, he welcomed us into his studio with open arms and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. It quickly became apparent that Lee valued his relationship with us and that, for him, to truly capture the essence of our special day he wanted to understand our unique relationship. We shared a glass of delicious wine and talked for over an hour, reviewed some of his work, shared our vision of our wedding, and shared important details of our story together. My wife and I felt so comfortable with him, like we were already friends, and not just another client. I still remember the way I felt walking out of his studio that day. We knew right then and there that he was special and the right choice for us. Fast forward to 2020 and the world had suddenly and drastically changed. My wife and I were forced to postpone our wedding until the following year (November 2021). The experience was painful and frustrating, forcing us to make adjustments and sacrifices that were not part of our original plans. Throughout that entire time, Lee was there for us. He checked in on us, he invited us to hang out, he showed that he really cared. Lee went above and beyond for us for our engagement photos and traveled quite a long distance to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When we had a small "backyard BBQ" wedding in October 2020 for our official marriage (we didn't want to wait another year), out of the goodness of his heart, Lee volunteered to come shoot our day and help capture those precious moments with close family and bridal party. And, at long last, on our big wedding day in November 2021, Lee delivered amazing photographs and an unforgettable experience beyond our highest expectations! He brings extensive experience to the table and we were so impressed with how deftly he moved and how efficiently he operated throughout our wedding day. Lee is kind, funny, reliable, gentle, generous, polite, professional, fair, and he takes amazing photographs! Lee, thank you for choosing us and making our lives better and our wedding day the best it possibly could have been.

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.

Sam has been a videographer at a wedding that I photographed before. It's so hard sometimes to communicate and mesh well with other vendors while working a wedding where there are so many moving parts and a timeline to stick to. Sam made that part easy! We got on the same page quickly and helped each other with shots the others wanted to get. Never got into each other's way and the entire day, start to finish it ran smoothly. I wish all videographers worked this well with fellow vendors. Makes the couples experience even better!

In addition to photog, my other loves include museums, hiking, cooking, anything involving my family and friends, my cat Goose, and watching reality dating shows.

Working with Tia feels like you're working with your best friend. She has such a calming presence and really embraces the experience you are looking for on your big day. Ben and I knew we wanted to be very present at our wedding and wanted to limit how much time we spent away from our friends and family. We were drawn to Tia's documentary photography and post editing style and after having a phone call with her we knew she was the perfect match! She is a photographer who will go above and beyond every step of the way. She was super responsive leading up to the wedding and took on coordinating with our planners and videographer. She answered every text and email inquiry we had quickly and I cannot express how thrilled we are with the turn out! I was shocked looking through the images at how well they capture exactly how I remember each moment, colors, hues, and all! She really captured the essence of our theme and venue and I'm so beyond grateful our path led us to her. We will cherish these photos forever and look forward to working with her again in future life milestones.

Brea and her team are absolute geniuses at what they do! Brea made us feel so comfortable during our most intimate photo shoots (engagement and first look), and was extremely efficient getting all of our family and friend photos together. The candids are the best part. Brea and her team have a way of capturing moments like no other wedding photographer I've ever seen. We are aboslultely in love with our wedding photos--and the best part--we received the full album less than a month after the wedding!

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.

Aimee will not only provide you with high quality photography, but will help make your day fun, fabulous and memorable. We had to change our wedding photographer at the last minute, and Aimee turned out to be the blessing around the corner. She is so comfortable to be around, helps you to be your authentic self in front of the camera and will also cut it up on the dance floor with you! After our wedding, we asked her to do our maternity photoshoot and our baby girl’s first birthday photos. We have all them on display in our home and will be asking her take photos of our lives for as long as she wants to be behind a camera. I can’t rate higher than 5 stars, but I would if I could. Please believe me when I say booking Aimee as your photographer will be the easiest part of your wedding planning, and all future photoshoots for life.

Krystina was amazing to work with! She arrived early to the first location for shooting and acclimated herself with the area before getting started with photos. She did not need to be directed where to go, she knew where to go and what to do. She suggested and executed some great solo portraits and pictures with my mom and wedding party. At the wedding itself, she took excellent photos while at the same time not being in the way — my family commented how they didn’t even notice her taking pictures most of the time. The pictures we received were incredible, exactly captured our special day. I highly recommend her!

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!

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

Awarded Best of Zola
My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.

Your wedding day is that rare occasion where all your friends and family gather together and your ceremony is the reason for it all. After all the food is eaten, the cake is cut, the toasts are cried & laughed over and the flawless dance moves are danced, all you have left are your photos. Your wedding experience is so much more than just booking and filling out paperwork, it's preserving your memories to be relived through photographs, it's help with planning to ensure your wedding vision is brought to life, it's your vendors working as a team to give you the day you have dreamed of, its capturing the details you put thought and love into.

We had a fantastic experience with Alicia, who was recommended to us by our day-of coordinator. As a photographer myself, I knew what to look for in a photographer. She was so much fun, approachable, easy to work with, offered so much guidance as far as wardrobe and posing for our engagement shoot (included in our package) and made us feel so at ease at our wedding. We can see ourselves booking her again for future portrait sessions!

Please visit my website for more information and to inquire. I am unable to respond to inquires directly sent through Zola due to a paywall. I like to describe my style as a thoughtful balance between creative and timeless. Anticipating and capturing moments charged with spontaneity, joy, humor, and magic are the roots of my passion. Finding and manifesting compelling light & compositions is the heart of my creative process.

Rachel was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer! She has captured not only my wedding but also my sisters' weddings and all our family photos, and over time, she has truly become part of the family. The engagement shoot was included, and it was incredible—she made us feel so comfortable and captured our connection beautifully. Her ability to make everyone feel relaxed shines through in every photo she takes. Rachel did an amazing job working with the kids, using a tiger puppet named 'Tigey' to capture the most perfect smiles and laughs from my nieces and nephews, which made for some of our favorite photos. What really stood out was how much fun she was to spend the day with! She brought such great energy and made the entire experience enjoyable for everyone. Thanks to Rachel, we have the most stunning memories to look back on. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely fun photographer, I can't recommend Rachel highly enough!

Hi hello, I'm Devon! My pronouns are they/them, I change my hair a lot, and I've been a full-time photographer since 2011. Behind the camera I craft images that show the heart and soul of the fabulous people, places, and things I’m working with. When not photographing you’ll find me swing dancing, road tripping, or curled up at home with a book in one hand and mug of tea in the other.

Devon was delightful to work with throughout our entire engagement and wedding processes. We loved working with Devon because of the way they took the time to get to know us, which allowed them to showcase our quirks and love for each other as a couple and the joy among our wedding guests in every photo. Devon is an excellent photographer for people who are shy in front of a camera. Rather than just posing us, Devon used a relaxed, conversational approach and creative tricks to help us naturally settle into smiles and body language that truly make our photos look like us. We could honestly feel Devon’s excitement to celebrate our love through their work. Devon was clear, supportive, and transparent throughout every step of the planning process, from pricing to developing a photo list and schedule of events for the day. They were responsive and easy to talk to, and they returned our photos promptly. We can’t recommend Devon enough, and we can’t wait for our next opportunity to work with them again!

We are a Baltimore based wedding photography business with an incredible passion for life and love, and here at Clapp Studios we specialize in documenting the emotional moments that add meaning to our customers and their families lives. Beautiful photographs are emotional moments frozen in time for you to remember and revisit with family, friends, or a quiet moment alone - and whether in here in Maryland or at a destination miles away, we strive to create images that will be cherished for generations

Our original wedding plans changed due to the Pandemic and we had no idea what each day would bring, regarding alternate plans. However, we wanted a marriage more than anything (not just a wedding). So we stayed in contact with Mr. Clapp and he remained open to (re) scheduling and accommodating our needs. He kept my nerves at bay by reassuring me that everything would still work out. He took the time to answer all of my questions, even the repeated ones. He answered phone calls, texts, and emails within minutes. The day of the service he was on time and prepared. We had major technical difficulties and delays due to the virtual set up, but he was beyond patient and hung in there with us til the end. During the mania of it all he never made us feel like we were infringing upon his time. The pictures turned out AH-MAAAZING!!! When the complete photo album came, within a week or two, it brought me to tears. The photos were just that beautiful. Mr. Clapp has a gift of capturing every nuance and every emotion. If you want fun, professionalism, variety in poses, ease and comfort on your big day, Mr. Clapp is a sure pick! It truly was like working with family and we are so grateful to him.

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process.

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We loved how all of the photos showed everyone’s genuine emotions of the day so well!

We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. 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!

PictureMeThisbyLacie was the most amazing photographer we could have dreamed of. Lacie and her husband made our day an absolute breeze! We even had sneak peek pictures before the nights festivities came to an end. Lacie and our videographer worked seamlessly together, we would recommend her over and over again, without hesitation.
