Carrie Kizuka Photography, LLC 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

I’m a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love the process of learning, which led to me earning my Ph.D. (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies and headbands, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so lucky to be paired with Carrie for our engagement shoot. We were even luckier for her to do our wedding photos. Carrie will literally get on her hands and knees to get the best shot for you. She made the day or so fun and stress free which was so helpful with my nerves! She is one of the most creative people we know and I couldn’t be more happier with our pictures. Could not recommend her more!

Stephen James Films made the best wedding videos we could have imagined and we are so happy that we have the videos to last for the rest of our lives! We initially did not plan to hire a videographer for our wedding and I'm so happy we changed that mindset! We had conveniently met them at another wedding, just a few months prior while my husband was fascinated by their drone. We instantly connected and started chatting about the what if they came to our wedding. After seeing some of their previous videos, we knew we needed to have them come. Throughout planning, we kept them in the loop and got to know them more as we finalized the plans. Stephen and Rosie travel throughout the country and included a date night video in our package which we got to know them further and spend some fun time outside of wedding talk with them. This was such a unique offer and while it was only a 60sec video, the quality of what was produced from being on a date night with them really made us know we made the right decision. The videos from our wedding were quickly turned around and we have had multiple friends ask us for their contact. They got all the details and channeled our vision and vibes from the wedding to the videos.

Hello, I’m Juan. My mission is to weave together my passion for people, love of design, and dedication to storytelling in each wedding film I create. For me, this goes far beyond videography—it's about crafting a truly luxurious, meaningful experience. I invest in truly understanding each couple I work with, forging a genuine connection to ensure your wedding film reflects the essence of your journey. I take the time to explore the details of your story, allowing me to create a film that feels authentic, intimate, and luxurious.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were not going to pursue a wedding videographer. I'd seen enough to think they all looked the same. I'm a brand strategist and it's important to me that content capture the essence of its subject. When I stumbled across Juan's portfolio, I found that no two videos were the same-because no two couples are the same! I found myself watching videos of his over and over, even crying! That's when we knew our mind had been changed. Juan is so personable and works hard to get to know you so he can craft a story that reflects your own. And working with him was a breath of fresh air. I always feel awkward in front of a camera and my husband tires of being on camera easily but with Juan behind his, we felt so natural! It was like hanging out with your best friend. We flew Juan out to Baltimore to be there to capture our wedding and I'm so glad we weren't deterred by his not being local because just the preview alone gives me chills. If you're looking for a videographer, especially if you're on the fence about even needing a video, we strongly recommend a discovery call with Juan before you decide. We can't recommend him enough!

Geraldine was tremendous throughout the proposal planning process.

Her guidance was worth every penny and I highly recommend her for your event planning needs.

Amaka and her team took over like we wanted and literally covered everything. The best part was how they helped us save tons of money on our wedding. Don't be hesitant in booking. Book them with confidence and I promise you will not be disappointed. Everything about your wedding will scream luxury and will be well organized. The price you pay is well worth it Somehow they found a way to even get my husband involved in the planning process because Amaka made it a fun process. She also gave us a planning book to help keep track and our own personalized google sheet that literally had everything including our guest list and how everyone would be seated. Amaka was always available when needed and if she wasn't, she delegated someone else. My husband and I loved attending vendor visits with her and she would always offer to treat us to lunch/dinner whenever we had appts. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure the wedding was blissful. I recommended her to a friend who has a destination wedding next year and they are already in love. A planning company that knows what they're doing, very honest with you rather than telling you what you want to hear and extremely resourceful. We also got to save on decor because they provided rentals since we booked the full service planning and Amaka with giving us tips on how to save on decor. We wanted them to actually do the decor :-( but they couldn't at that time and was honest about it. However, I am excited about ariscreationz doing the decor for my friend's wedding.

I felt super comfortable with Gabe which was very important to me because I'm camera-shy and awkward. He was very down to earth and easy to work with. Also, though he is based in PA he traveled to NY for our wedding and did an amazing job. We even travelled to PA for an engagement session, which I initially had no plans on doing - but those photos came out great as well and we had a lot of fun doing those to get warmed up. Strongly recommend Gabe, he's the best!

Fantastic! Picture This was so great to work with! They went above and beyond to make our photos just as we wanted them, down to the last detail. Keith and Renee were amazing photographers, and Luke was an incredible videographer! Our wedding video came out incredible! And on top of it all, the wedding album they created is gorgeous. Thanks for capturing our special day!

Hey there, I'm Josie, and over the past six incredible years, I've had the privilege of documenting countless beautiful moments, from heartfelt weddings to vibrant events. My goal is to create a visual narrative that speaks to the hearts of those who look at my work. I pour my heart and soul into every shot! So, whether it's an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, I'm here to craft images that reflect the true essence of the day. Let's turn your special day into an everlasting masterpiece.

We found Josie through a facebook group when searching for a last minute photographer for our spontaneous courthouse wedding. Josie was such a sweet soul and was so excited to be a part of our day. Within such short notice, she coordinated meeting time, researched the area for photo ops, and was ready with so many poses for us. She even agreed to be a witness for our ceremony! Working with her during the shoot was a joy. She was very fun and upbeat, making it an even more enjoyable experience. And the pictures turned out AMAZING! So so thankful for Josie and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated photographer who will give you the most beautiful photos.

I am an event planner by trade, and the only thing I did not want for my wedding was to work. I did not want to plan it myself, or worry about a single detail day of. We interviewed so many planners, and Kolena stood out among the crowd. She is organized, creative, bright, and incredibly professional as well as friendly and relatable. On the day of our wedding, Kolena handled all of the set up, coordination, and tear down without bothering my husband or I with anything. She managed family, vendors, timelines, and all the day of fires with precision and grace. And at the end of the night, when I got to my room and the decor was boxed, labeled, flowers were in water, and nothing was left to be done, I actually shed a tear. Hiring Kolena was, aside from choosing my husband, the best decision I made for my wedding. You can’t put a price on ease of mind and no stress on your wedding day.

I cannot sing Emma’s praises enough!!! We hired Emma as a month-of coordinator and are fully convinced she is the sole reason our wedding went off without a hitch! We had over 200 people and our ceremony was at a different location from our reception—no small undertaking—and from the moment we started working together, we knew our wedding was in good hands. Emma is extremely organized and has the perfect demeanor for this type of work. When I was actively pulling my hair out with stress (and a venue that was less than forthcoming about a conflict with our event space), Emma stepped up and made sure everything went smoothly, all while remaining calm, cool and collected. Emma was SO easy to work with and is a pleasure to be around. She also has a great inventory of items to bolster your décor—we ended up renting a card box and table numbers from her that she printed and designed with our names on it! She helped us hone our vision and refine our timeline, all while making sure everything was finalized to our liking! She put out every fire that popped up and truly felt like our wedding day guardian angel. Do yourself a favor and book Simply Grater Events!!!
