Amazing Wedding Photographer – Highly Recommend! Victoria is an absolute gem! From our very first meeting, it was clear she is passionate about her craft and genuinely cares about capturing the essence of your special day. She was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to every detail, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, Victoria was everywhere yet never intrusive. She has an incredible eye for capturing candid moments as well as perfectly posed shots. The lighting, angles, and creativity in her photos are stunning. When we received our final gallery, we were blown away—every photo was a masterpiece that brought all the emotions of the day flooding back. What truly sets Victoria apart is her warm personality and ability to connect with people. Our guests adored her, and she made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, Victoria is the one!

Lester did our love story pictures and our wedding pictures. He's an amazing photographer, he was always on time, helped us with posing, was very patient with our family members and with us. My event got a little messy as we got delayed and Lester did what he could while I got everything ready and people (including the groom arrived) he also took it upon himself and our DJ to assist us in organizing the people and getting them to our outdoor ceremony, and finalizing some details that were missing. Lester is amazing, organized and very knowledgeable, also makes magic happen with the picture editing. See below. I recommend him and I will be using his services for future events.

Chesapeake Charm Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,400
  • Serves Essex, MD

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!

There are not enough words to explain how amazing Mandi is!!!! You need to RUN and book her immediately!! From the first phone call and throughout the entire wedding planning process, she was so responsive, organized, and above and beyond helpful. Her pictures truly speak for themselves and I can’t even tell you how many strangers have reached out to tell me how beautiful the pictures are!! She also got them back to me in absolutely record time. On wedding day, I didn’t have a wedding planner, and she helped me put together a timeline and made sure everything went off without a hitch. She was soooo much fun to work with, was so laid back (while still being assertive and corralling our wedding party/family for pictures) and made sure everything was low-stress. Most people complain about their wedding portraits and how long it takes, but one of our favorite parts of the day was taking our portraits with Mandi and her second shooter (who was also so fun and fantastic). We are so, so happy Mandi was a part of one of the best days of our lives, and it wouldn’t have been the same without her!!

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

After a decade of photographing weddings in and around Baltimore, I have grown to absolutely love what this city has to offer.

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.

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

Annemarie was so amazing to work with for our wedding! She was so accommodating, flexible, and made us feel so comfortable when taking our photos. She got the sneak peek photos back to us a few days after the wedding and our full album was ready exactly a month after the wedding. All the photos are so beautiful and we could not be happier with how they turned out. We would highly recommend Annemarie to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer in the DMV area!

Shay Scala Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! She was VERY communicative throughout the entire process, making sure we were informed and comfortable every step of the way. The quality of her work was truly exceptional - she delivered our photos with an unbelievably quick turnaround, and the connection she was able to capture between my husband and I was breathtaking. Shay doubled as a day-of coordinator, seamlessly keeping everything on schedule so we could fully enjoy our special day. She made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and had a great eye for natural light that made us shine. Shay was not afraid to get a little silly with us to help us relax, which resulted in some of our favorite photos. We cannot recommend Shay Scala Photography highly enough!

We hired Love, Lomax as our wedding photographer which included an engagement shoot, and were BLOWN AWAY with her work! From the start Karisa was very easy to work with and is an incredibly kind, caring person. A photographer captures really intimate moments, and my husband and I felt so comfortable with her. She did a great job coaching us through the poses and went to a variety of locations to make sure we got all the shots. Specifically for the wedding, she was incredibly organized by sending us a wedding questionnaire and creating a very detailed timeline, making sure she knew all the important photos we wanted to get. On my wedding day, she felt like one of my friends and was hyping my husband and I up all day. She was super respectful of our time and made sure we got photos efficiently so we could enjoy as much time with our family and friends. Regarding her work, she is an AMAZING photographer. We got so many compliments on our engagement and wedding photos, many people saying they look like they could have been in a magazine. All of my friends and family that interacted with Karisa on our wedding day spoke so highly of her and said we made the right decision hiring her. I cannot recommend Love, Lomax enough!!

Marília was an impeccable professional from my first contact with her, we took our engagement photos at the Capitol in Richmond, which, by the way, the photos were amazing, my husband doesn't like taking pictures very much and I was surprised to see the result she gave me in the photos it seemed that this was part of his day, so amazing she was. In my wedding it could not be different Marília Drove 2h30 to Cape Charles to record this very special moment of my life, she was simply wonderful without fail, she made us totally at ease and recorded images, perfect. I recommend Marília to everyone. In addition to being an excellent professional, she is an incredible human being.

Bethany is AMAZING! Let me start by saying she also did our engagement pictures and they turned out fantastic! It was such a hot and humid day, I was worried I'd look awful in the pictures, but Bethany made it look like we weren't even hot! We knew we HAD to have her four our wedding- when we picked our date she was the 2nd vendor to know, besides the venue, so we could be sure we had her; I was fully prepared to change my date if she couldn't do our day. She was always super professional and helpful with any communication or questions! She put me, a super self conscious, plus sized bride at ease. Our pictures look amazing! Everybody always talks about what beautiful shots they are when they seem them! We've recommended her for literally everything! I will hands down always pick Bethany!

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.
