Kelly Loss Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Essex, MD

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

I cannot recommend O’real Bakery enough and plan to every time I get the chance. For our tasting the owner Moyofore met me at a location with the most beautifully packaged boxes to open at home so our family could taste with us. Choosing was so very difficult! I think I will need to order the coconut cake separately for a different occasion because it was our second runner up choice. The day-of cake was delivered on time, set up beautifully for our outdoor event with a protective cover that didn’t distract from its beauty, and wow was it stunningly decorated. Perfection. The best part was eating it OMG. My guests were raving!! Not one leftover slice…except for the top of the cake which we will save for our anniversary.

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!!

Chad and Lauren are not only phenomenal humans, they are incredible at what they do and their work is unmatched. I was determined to find a videographer that could create a wedding video that was not so cookie cutter and like the rest. After our first conversation with Chad and Lauren, I was certain that this wasnt going to be another cookie cutter wedding video. I trusted they would create something special and unique and they did more than that. From our first conversation to our wedding Day, Chad and Lauren were extremely responsive, personable and made the entire process so easy. Their personalities and excitement were exactly what we needed and we were so happy to have the both of them with us on our wedding day. Chad and Lauren took time to get to know us, understood our vision and captured our wedding day perfectly. The video we received left us (and our family and friends) speechless and in tears. It is something we will cherish forever. No words can describe the amount of fun, happiness and true joy they were able to capture so perfectly throughout the day.

The day of he helped put both of us at ease, helping both my husband and I feel comfortable and get photos that felt like us. Truly made something that felt stressful into something fun and relaxing. Initially when I got the photos from all my friends, I was asking myself why we hired a professional photographer, but once I saw the pictures Konrad sent over, I did not ask myself that question again. I have never loved myself in so many pictures, he really captured the two of us and the entire day in a way that I couldn’t have imagined.

As most hopeless romantics do, I love love. I love the small, quiet moments as much as the grand gestures. It is a unique honor to be the one to document those details on a wedding day. I believe deeply that love is as close as we’ll ever get to magic.

We couldn't be more impressed with Jenn's photography. Her ability to capture our emotions and those special moments in her photos is what truly sets her apart. Every time I see a picture from our shoot, I'm immediately taken back to that moment and fall even more in love. During the shoot, we were able to play, laugh, and be completely immersed in each other all while Jenn captured us in our purest forms. We will definitely be asking for more photos from her in the future!

I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I'm also a musician and I help craft most of the music in the wedding films I create. I love working with couples that have unique personalities and styles. My work resonates the most with who it's made for, and I always keep that audience in mind.

I can't express how grateful we are for our incredible wedding videographer, Steven! He was not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest person to work with. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every shot he took.  He beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, and finding someone who could provide high-quality video, drone footage, and 8mm film was a dream come true. When I finally stumbled upon this gem from Virginia, I knew I had found my guy! And I felt compelled to write this review even before receiving our final video because of how much we enjoyed working with Steven and his colleague! I was so comfortable with them and felt like their friend by the end of it all. If the teaser video is any indication (which we received the following day OMG!), the final video will far exceed all our expectations! We will cherish these memories forever, thanks to their amazing work! EASILY, HAPPILY, AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 12/10! 5 STARS ALL AROUND! If you would like a videographer who has a great product, is easy to work with, is a good human, and makes your wedding day better by being awesome, do yourself a favor and hire Steven!

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.

Shaymah thoroughly planned my wedding from start to finish. She was meticulous and well-organized throughout the whole ordeal and managed to mitigate a lot of potential risks smoothly. I do feel she is well-qualified to plan any wedding that comes her way, no matter how complex. Definitely will book for future wedding-related projects!

Tiffany took our engagement photos in October 2021. From the time we contacted her she was super prompt with communication and had us booked 3 weeks later. She was able to recommend a spot that fit the vibe we wanted and arrived a few minutes early. Photos were delivered on time at a very reasonable rate compared to other photographers I contacted. We received 2-3x as many photos for the same price! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else!

Meet Katelyn, the visionary behind the lens, the master of capturing love stories; and a true artist with an impeccable eye for detail, an innate ability to freeze time, and the unique gift of encapsulating the raw emotions, intimate moments, and cherished memories that make weddings so extraordinary. From a young age, she discovered the power of storytelling through her mom's scrap books and National Geographic magazines, sparking an undying fascination with capturing the essence of life's most profound moments. She studies under renowned photographers, soaking up their wisdom and honing her own unique style; authentic photojournalism.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Katelyn as our wedding photographer was undoubtedly one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding day! We had the pleasure of seeing her work firsthand at a friend's wedding, with who knows how many cameras strapped on! Seeing her attention to detail firsthand and the beautiful quality of our friends photos, she was first on our list for a consultation. From our first call, Katelyn embraced our vision with enthusiasm and professionalism. We knew we wanted a documentary-style photographer with the option of film photos (we loved that Katelyn includes these already) who could capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of our wedding with our lively group, and Katelyn delivered! Despite our initial nervousness about being in front of the camera, Katelyn made us feel incredibly comfortable. Having an engagement shoot beforehand was a great practice run, she has an incredible talent for putting people at ease, and this truly shines through in the photos. We have never felt so photogenic! Our album turned out better than we could have dreamed up. It is truly reflective of us and our day. Complete with details of my treasured Kirkland sweatpants on the way to our venue contrasted with my dress glam Katelyn’s commitment to us was truly exceptional as she had a family loss shortly before our wedding. It would have been more than understandable for her to need more time away or to find us a replacement. Despite this, Katelyn remained fully committed to capturing our day and we are so so grateful. Her dedication and professionalism during such a difficult time speaks volumes about her passion for her work and for her clients. Katelyn is a true artist and an amazing person. Her work exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our wedding team. The only question we have is how early is too early for a vow renewal so we can hire her again!

Rob Jinks Photography

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.

We hired Rob for our wedding in Aug 2019 in Norfolk, VA. Having worked with Rob before when I used to photograph weddings, I knew he had a creative eye, captured moments of true emotion very stealthily, and processed his photos in a more natural look rather than relying on heavy filters or overly exposed light. His style was exactly what we wanted. He was easy to work with throughout the whole process and really took the time to learn more about me and my husband. I love the portraits from both our engagement session and wedding. We received so many compliments from family and friends about Rob’s amazing work. We highly recommend Rob as a photographer!!!

I am a wedding planner certified by the Wedding Planning Institute at George Mason University. I am based in Springfield, VA, and work throughout the DC, MD, and Loudoun County, VA. As a fun-loving, adventure-craving 20-something, I am also your girl for destination weddings at any spot on the globe! I discovered my passion for wedding planning while designing my own. I would get comments about how "on top of things" or "how organized," and I soon began receiving requests from other engaged couples. I quickly discovered the joy of creating that special day that people have been dreaming of their entire lives and, soon after, launched SWP.

Macy was amazing! I felt a lot of stress leading up to the wedding but she was always able to put me at ease! We had to make some day of seating adjustments and she took care of it and I didn't have to worry about anything. Communication was great, always had quick replies to emails/questions. Highly recommend!
