Weddings By Lee Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Germantown, MD

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.

Taylor made us feel valued and comfortable in front of the camera and her work is beautiful. We are rather camera shy, but her demeanor was so calming and assuring that we relaxed instantly and enjoyed the process. She was kind, professional, and is clearly passionate about her clients wants and needs! The final gallery she provided us with (in record time) was breathtaking and exactly how we communicated our desired result. Thank you, Taylor, for a warm, loving and comfortable experience and we can’t wait to book you for more special moments in the future. With gratitude, Summer & Austin

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. We cannot recommend Mist and Moss enough. Thank you Chad and Lauren— you are a dream team and we are so grateful for you both!!!

David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

As a venue owner/operator, I have occasion to work with many event vendors. Rarely am I so impressed with a company as I was with Heavenly Spirits. They were set up and ready to serve well in advance of the start of the event. The set up was lovely and coordinated well with the theme of the event. The bar operated with an efficiency that kept the wait for a drink to a minimum. At the conclusion of the event, the team left the service area clean and they checked in with me before departing the venue. I HIGHLY recommend Heavenly Spirts and have happily added the company to our venue’s preferred vendor list!

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!

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Christan is the most warm, caring individual you’ll ever meet. From my first consultation phone call to the dedication she showed in completing our wedding photo gallery, I felt cared for and highly important to her. Not only is she amazing to work with but her photographs made me feel beautiful and will be timeless. My husband and I felt so comfortable taking photos when we’ve never had professional photos taken. If you’re looking for a photographer for any special event, I can not recommend Christan enough. I would have spent 10 times the investment to have had Christan be our photographer. Long story short, Christan is the best and her photography skills are unmatched. Every picture in our gallery is AMAZING! Best hype woman!

Jennifer was so great! She was super easy going, and made sure we covered all the things we wanted to capture, and then created a timeline for us to share with our other vendors to make sure we stayed on schedule on our wedding day! The package we picked came with a second shooter and a free engagement shoot, and we were so grateful for that, as it gave us a chance to get comfortable with having our photos taken and try out some fun poses. My husband and I are not picture takers, but she made us forget she was there by making the session fun, and all about us and our love story.

No amount of words can express our gratitude to Lester & Dreisbach Photography and I could spend all day talking about how wonderful they are. They are beyond amazing and such beautiful human beings! We had searched high & low for the perfect fit and they both exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was back in November 2021 and the weather was pretty much all seasons rolled into one day making things extremely difficult and how they made it all work is a miracle! From our first Skype meeting(thanks Covid) they were so warm, friendly, down to earth and such fun, we talked for hours! We literally booked them that day as we didn't want anyone else. The communication was fantastic and their service was like no other, especially during such an uncertain time with Covid. They were flexible and really made us feel special on our day, you can see just how passionate they are about their craft! Their passion is infectious and we had sooooooo much fun having our photos taken by them, the freezing cold wind & jumping over fences were all made worth it. They're both so dedicated and one of our photos always makes me smile knowing that they had thrown my veil up into the air to try and get a great shot and had to run off into the bushes to avoid being in the photo(their dedication and yet care for you is next level!). They also made all our guests feel super at ease when taking photos. Considering how short on time we were and the weather constraints, we got so many amazing photos and we loved that you not only get the "editorial"/artistic shots but also beautiful candid moments captured that you don't even see yourself! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much we are forever grateful for having been able to have you apart of our special day!

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.

I’m so happy I went with Julia. She did an amazing job during our trial (she did both the hair and makeup on me) and a fantastic job on the wedding day. She had a colleague take care of makeup for me and my bridesmaids since my hair was so extravagant, but her colleague did a great job, too. The bright picture is shortly after they finished, and the night picture is many hours later and the makeup held wonderfully with no touch ups. I also got so many compliments on the hair!

I love having the great gift of documenting amazing couples as they celebrate their love from engagement, to wedding day, to a life full of love.

Our family has been undoubtedly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Rebekah! We had just received our final film and no words can accurately describe how beautiful it turned out by capturing our most special and treasured memories from that day. Working with Rebekah has been a blessing from the start - her communication was outstanding and very much appreciated in that from the moment I had sent out an inquiry to when we had gotten our final film, Rebekah had always checked in with us, given us updates, and I never felt any detail was overlooked. Every moment I had expressed I wanted captured during our calls were all included beautifully in the film that I felt perfectly represented our wedding day. More so, we were given our sneak peak trailer so quickly after our wedding day! Moreover, Rebekah has made us feel so comfortable and I had felt so confident with her that I was able to be fully present and not worry about absolutely anything on our big day. If youre considering Rebekah, please please don’t hesitate! It will be nothing short of a blessing to work with her

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

We had an amazing experience working with Alyssa Marie Photography for our wedding! Alyssa and her husband were an efficient, friendly, and reliable team who captured all the special moments from our big day. Their communication style made planning easy, and they worked seamlessly in the background on our wedding day to get fantastic shots without ever being intrusive. The quality of Alyssa's work is excellent - the photos are timeless, classic, and thorough in documenting our wedding from start to finish. We absolutely loved having Alyssa there and can't recommend her highly enough! Her photography style results in gorgeous, meaningful images that we will treasure forever. We're so grateful we chose Alyssa Marie Photography to document our special day.

I'm a lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing your keepsake moments! With work experience in event management, I understand the behind the scenes of weddings & I am fully equipped to deliver you fun AND professional service on your big day. I've captured weddings, engagements (hello crouching behind a tree to capture the proposal moment), and so much more. What I love about weddings is witnessing such happiness and love. I spend my time capturing the glances between couples, Grandma's smile, and your special details. If you want to see where attention to detail, professionalism, lightheartedness & sarcasm meet...let's chat!

To say that Tori is a gifted photographer is the understatement of the year. I usually hate every photo of myself - but at my wedding, Tori took photos that I proudly hang in my house and that make me feel like a model. She not only is gifted at photography, but she knows how to command a crowd or energetic children without dampening the good mood. She will get photos that look magazine-worthy no matter the event. In a world where everyone tries to be an amateur photographer using their phones, trust that a professional like Tori will give you stunning photos that will last for years to come!

Hey! I'm Angela! I've been a licensed hairstylist for 18 years. The last few years, bridal hairstyling has really taken over my heart. I love being a part of someone's most special day! I love hearing the bridal party stories about how they've bonded over the years, all while getting them ready to walk down the aisle together. I would be honored to be a part of your big day too! I am big on making sure everyone is happy with their hair! I bring good energy and a calm vibe to your day. Put some music on, and I'll be ready to knock out your hairstyles in true celebration form!

Angela T - Hairstylist was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day. She was very easy to contact through text or phone, which made communication a breeze. The quality of her work was amazing for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mother. She took her time with each of us, but stayed on schedule, which made the getting ready process stress-free. Angela took the time to give me the exact hairstyle I envisioned, and even did a trial run beforehand to help ensure it was perfect. I highly recommend Angela T for any bride looking for an exceptional hairstylist who will contribute to making your special day seamless.

  • Serves Germantown, 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.

My husband and I are so happy we chose to work with Rob for our wedding day! From the very start of the process, Rob was personable and asked us many thoughtful questions about our love story, our vision for our wedding day, and why we wanted to invest in wedding photos. Perhaps more so than any other vendor, he took the time to get to know us and understand our values. Our fun engagement session introduced us to Rob's adventurous spirit and authentic approach to taking portraits. We're both a little camera shy but enjoyed the process and genuinely treasure our engagement pictures. On our wedding day, Rob was an oasis of calm and confidence. He even surprised us with a physical preview photo album shortly after the ceremony. He is a consummate professional, kept us on track through the planning process, and asked the best questions. We are so happy we chose Robs Jinks Photography and happily give him our highest recommendation.

Hiring Brittany and Heirloom Design and Co was one of my best decisions. Brittany was my Day of Coordinator and she did a magnificent job! I was worried that my vision might not translate into reality; what if it was a flop? what if it looked too small compared to my vision? Once I met Brittany, I had nothing left to worry about. She executed my vision and beyond with her beautiful touch! My wedding day was everything I could have ever hoped for and far exceeded my vision. Brittany worked well with my other vendors and all of the execution was like a well-oiled machine. I can't thank Brittany enough for her reassurance, expertise, and abilities to create something so beautiful. I don't believe any bride/groom will be disappointed hiring Heirloom Design Co!

From the first time we contacted Michelle, she was nothing but kind and professional. She communicated with us about details and any questions we had. On the day of our wedding, she was incredible to work with. She worked alongside our photographer and it was so smooth! The day we got our highlight video and our ceremony video was ALMOST as amazing as our wedding day! Michelle’s videography skills along with her editing work is breathtaking. Every time we watch our videos, we end up in happy tears. The way she captured our entire day and highlighted all of our favorite parts and put it all together in a video made us speechless. We also purchased the raw footage and she organized it on a flashdrive. We are so thankful to have this footage to look back on! Her style of videography and editing is incredible and beautiful. We would not have asked for a better videographer for our wedding. We are forever grateful.
