I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are only good things to say about working with Maggie! We booked her for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding day. During the engagement session, she captured some true gems by helping us stay comfortable and true to ourselves. Leading up to our wedding day she was communicative, made sure she understood what our vision/priorities were, and worked well with our planner. On our wedding day, she was so fun to work with, got some beautiful shots of the big moments, and some incredible shots of little ones, too. Even just in our sneak peaks from our wedding, there are so many lovely candids amidst well-placed staged family/couple shots. She has great vision and good ideas and is fun to be around for the process! Regardless, her work speaks for itself. We highly recommend booking Maggie for your engagement and wedding photos!!

Rob Jinks Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

I enthusiastically recommend Rob for all your photography needs. He is super personable, affordable, and his photos are absolutely stunning. Rob photographed our wedding and what initially set him apart was his video messages and desire to have video meetings (we got married during the COVID-19 pandemic). At first, we found it a bit unusual, but we quickly realized that the video calls made it so much easier to get to know Rob and build a connection, particularly during a time when in-person meetings aren't an easy option. We had a few video calls to talk through our vision and hopes for the wedding day. Rob also walked us through examples of weddings he had done that would be similar in style to ours so we could get a sense of his artistic approach. We could immediately tell that he was very thorough and detail-oriented. As we were planning out the day, Rob gave super helpful suggestions, demonstrating his knowledge of what worked in the DC area (including at the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and the DC War Memorial) from a photographer’s perspective, and helped us develop a realistic plan for the day given our time together. On the wedding day, Rob made us feel very comfortable - both with him and with having our photo taken as we were newbies at that. And all of our guests felt the same way as he was organizing the after ceremony family portraits. He also turned around the final product in a very timely manner (within one month), and provided a sneak peak within the first week. We were completely blown away. The photos were vibrant, creative, and captured the joy and memories of the day so well. Family and friends are already hanging them up in their houses.

**TO CONTACT: VISIT MY WEBSITE. I AM NOT ACTIVE ON ZOLA.** Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Jessica was a joy to work with! She understood what I wanted and totally delivered. So professional and friendly... try angel. I ordered my bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres from Brook Hill Flowers, but got 2 DIY boxes of flowers from Wegman's in Frederick. However, my BFFs who helped me organize and decorate my wedding (at my home) were all thumbs the morning of and needed help putting all the vases together. When Jessica came to drop off the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres, she asked if there was anything she could help with and my MOH ran over and asked for her help. I was upstairs starting my beautification and when I came down the stairs towards my dad to walk down the aisle, I was blown away seeing how beautiful my home looked! Thank You, Jessica!!

Not only that she made the best bouquet that I had ever seen, but she went way further by helping me with some new ideas of what to do, and she even managed to deliver the bouquet to the restaurant in the middle of the dinner without anyone noticing, so I was able to pick it up as soon as my girlfriend said “Yes!”

Perfect Harmony Entertainment was a pleasure to work with for our wedding music. Their communication style was informative, helpful, and easygoing throughout the planning process. Despite my last minute changes, they handled it with ease and kept everything on track. On our big day, they brought an energetic yet professional presence that contributed so much to the special moments. Their music selection and execution of our timeline was spot on. We loved how they kept the dance floor full and had all our guests, young and old alike, enjoying themselves. It was clear they have a lot of experience working weddings by how smoothly everything flowed thanks to them. I would highly recommend Perfect Harmony's services for your important event.

We worked with Ashlyn for our wedding vow renewal and she was able to capture every idea that came to my head! She was all in and awesome to work with! Very easy going and easy to communicate with also! So happy we went with Willow & Rove to capture something so special to us!
