*PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE TO SUBMIT A CONTACT FORM AT WWW.CANDYNOGALES.COM.* MY WEBSITE IS UNDER MY PHOTO ON MY ZOLA PAGE. Hi, I'm Candy! I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens.

I had the pleasure to work with Candy a few months ago, and we had an amazing experience. She is very kind, organized and professional. I'm always nervous about working with other vendors at weddings, but Candy was very friendly and approachable. I absolutely recommend her to other vendors and couples looking for a photographer.

Ashley Gerrity Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Patuxent River, MD

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

We received our photos from our July wedding and WOW is all I can say! Ashley and Michelle managed to capture our day perfectly. We chose bright colors for our summer wedding and didn't want them to look muted from editing. Ashley ensured us she captures "real life" and boy, did she deliver!! The colors pop and look stunning. We were so comfortable with Ashley & Michelle all day, and they really listened to what we wanted. They helped create a timeline for the day along with must take photos and kept everything moving & organized. There were multiple check-ins throughout the planning process, complete with thorough questionnaires that helped answer a lot of questions. We also used Ashley for our engagement photos, which helped us develop a relationship early on and we love those photos just as much as our wedding photos!!

Since 2016, I have been capturing weddings with a passion for storytelling through photography. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of photographing couples all over the country, from the coastlines of New England to the hills of California. Now based in Meridian, Idaho, I bring my years of experience, a creative eye, and a detail-oriented approach to the Pacific Northwest and beyond. My focus is on capturing authentic moments and creating timeless, emotional imagery to cherish forever. Whether it's an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, I aim to document the beauty of your big day in a way that reflects your love story.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marvin for both our engagement and wedding ceremonies, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The photos are simply stunning—crystal clear, beautifully composed, and truly capture the essence of our special moments. Not to mention, he’s naturally funny, the guy was an absolute delight to work with, making the whole process effortless and enjoyable. From the initial planning to the final shots, he was professional, patient, and incredibly attentive to detail especially when we kissed haha! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to help us remember these unforgettable moments! Highly recommend!

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

If you are looking for your photographer to create beautiful, fine art images that you can look back on years to come and remember how you felt just by looking at a picture, I think we're a perfect fit! I'm here for the relationships and memories that matter and to capture all of your real moments that make your life so amazing! Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Lionel is the absolute best!!! He was our videographer for our wedding in July 2023!!! He did an amazing job with our wedding video!!! He’s a natural and we highly recommend him you will not be disappointed!!! Here’s a glimpse of the masterpiece!!!

Welcome to JFP, where passion meets precision. As a dedicated photographer by heart and an aerospace engineer by profession, I bring a unique perspective to capturing your most cherished moments. My goal is to create a seamless, luxurious experience for every couple, ensuring your wedding day flows effortlessly. I understand that your wedding is one of the most significant days of your life, and I’m committed to making it memorable. With an eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, I specialize in delivering a blend of documentary style images and classic portraits that reflect your unique love story.

Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with. I felt SO lucky when I came across her work on social media - which was genuinely more beautiful than photographers charging 2x or more. I probably inquired with 10 photographers beforehand, but the moment I found Jenn, knew we'd choose her for her beautiful work. We loved our engagement photos, and she gave us (stunning) sneak peek wedding photos the day after our wedding! From her "detail" shots, teaching us how to pose (thanks!), scoping out the best spots for beautiful shots, creating a wedding day photography timeline for us - she was so professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. Also as a side note, she is an engineer and I don't know how she is blessed in equal measure with both left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She also has some very cool options, like Super8 film, polaroids, etc. that we opted to add on - her work is timeless and beautiful and I can't recommend her highly enough. Jenn - thank you so much for capturing these moments for us to look back on!

Mel was a phenomenal photographer, from start to finish. I find myself constantly looking back at our wedding photos and feeling like I’m reliving the day in full thanks to her keen eye and skill behind the camera. She nailed everything, from the “formal” shots to the candid reception shots of our friends having a blast on the dance floor. Not only was she a wonderful photographer worth every penny, but she’s also a great human. I will continue to recommend her to my friends and can’t wait to see her at their weddings, too!

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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 are so happy we booked Rob Jinks as our photographer! You can tell he truly cares about his clients and puts so much thought and effort into his work. Our family and friends loved him too - he made sure everyone felt included and seen. The pictures are incredible and he made the whole process very easy. We highly recommend Rob Jinks!!

While my heart is in the Southeast, I'm always ready to pack my bags and capture your love story wherever it takes you across the country. My shooting style is relaxed, playful, and evocative. I value connection, authenticity, and true colors. I help couples who love candid shots and cherish raw emotions! Before becoming a wedding photographer, I spent a decade as a travel reporter. This shaped my photojournalistic and observant approach. I absolutely LOVE hunting for the ideal moment!

Elena did a wonderful job capturing the pictures we wanted at our wedding. She was efficient. My husband and I did not want to spend a ton of time taking posed photos and wanted her to capture us dancing and living in the moment, and she did just that. We got wonderful pictures of us posing and of us dancing. Definitely recommend her!!

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!

I couldn’t be more happy that I chose Sarah to be my photographer. From the beginning, Sarah was kind, thoughtful, and helpful with all of my questions and ideas. I’m someone who doesn’t typically like having their photo taken and feels self-conscious, and she always made me feel comfortable every step of the way. My pictures have turned out absolutely stunning (and I’m saying this as someone who typically hates every picture taken of themselves). She has an amazing eye for everything—lighting, angles, details, you name it. One of the primary reasons (besides liking her as a person) that I wanted to book her is I feel she has skill across a variety of shots (compared to other photographers that seem to take their photos all in one style). I had told her leading up to the wedding that it was important that I don’t feel rushed or pressured as that’s been my experience in the past at weddings, and she made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable all day. She followed our lead but still made sure we got plenty of beautiful shots. She also went above and beyond to help us when we had some issues with other vendors. Everyone in my bridal party and family adored Sarah, and are obsessed with the photos and highlight footage she’s captured. She’s also extremely reasonably priced, especially for the quality you’re getting, it’s amazing and I can’t recommend her enough—book her. Also special shoutout to a second shooter she brought that day, Brandon. He brought an amazing energy and sense of humor that had us laughing and enjoying the process all day. They were a great duo and were a huge part of making my day better (like one of the best parts of the day, seriously). We had so much fun with them and are so grateful for everything they did for us.

I’m LINDSAY, the owner & main photographer of Lindsay Mack Photography. I am based out of Warrenton, Virginia. And I am bit of a sucker for real, authentic, passionate love. When I shoot your wedding, I want you to remember each moment, vividly. I want you to relive that first moment when your Dad saw you in your dress. I want you to feel the moment when the love of your life laid his eyes on you as you were approaching the aisle. The moment when the groomsman does a split on the dance floor? Yes, that too. ALL OF IT. I am here to serve you, to work along side you and to capture those once in a life time feels.

Lindsay is a true pro! She helped organize an 8 hour styled shoot for my new farm wedding venue and knocked it out of the park. She has a wonderful way of making everyone feel super comfortable, she seamlessly managed two different sets of brides/grooms, additional models, flower girls, hair/makeup scenes, ceremonies and receptions while capturing every aspect of my 40 acre farm in the process. I can't recommend her enough and she will be at the top of my preferred vendors list as one of the best photographers in the region!

Hi! I'm Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

My husband and I reached out to Emily after we found out my step-dad had a brain tumor. Emily met us with grace, understood the importance of the small moments, and captured our day in the most amazing photos! She let us be ourselves (goofballs) while also giving us much needed direction to achieve authentic photos of us that are STUNNING! On a scale of 1-10, Emily is an 11! We highly recommend using her artistic vision for your family photos, engagement pictures, and/or wedding pictures!

Wedding and lifestyle photographer committed to helping you. Your wedding day isn't just about another photo session. When I book a wedding, I want to help you capture all the moments that this part of your life includes. The emotions, the smiles, the first dance, the cake cutting. All of it. When booking me you're not only booking a wedding photographer, but you're also booking your day of advocate for your love story. Of course, you will have all your formal portraits, but i also love to capture the small moments some people miss.

Veronica is INCREDIBLE! From the moment we met her at our engagement session, we knew we made the right decision! She came prepared with pose ideas and made us feel comfortable, even though it was our first time getting professional photos done. She gave us a timeline for when we’d receive photos back, and sent us a few sneak peaks the same night! She communicated with us between the engagement session and our wedding, helped put together a timeline for the wedding day, and made sure to capture everything I had envisioned! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Veronica for any photoshoot, and plan to hire her again in the future for photos!

I'm a laid back, upbeat and silly (some might say incredibly funny, but whatever) person with a penchant for making everyone feel like an old friend. I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first Zoom call we had with Rachel, we could tell she was our kind of person. She was very knowledgeable and had great advice leading up to the wedding. We also loved the engagement shoot we did with her, as it gave us the chance to get to know her a bit in person and get comfortable so that there was no awkwardness on the day-of. Rachel embodies the perfect balance between professionalism and personable. She’s goofy and funny yet fully in charge and assertive. Her personality meshed so well with ours and it really showed in the pictures. She captured the candid special moments beautifully and also gave great direction for the posed formals. She did an outstanding job wrangling my massive & hectic family! We were so happy with how the photos turned out - it’s been challenging to pick favorites to print because they’re all great!! I can’t say enough good things about Rachel (and her assistants)! If you’re on the fence about booking her or worried about the cost, I can say she’s 100% worth it!!

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, we are always looking for talented photographers to recommend to our clients and Jess is someone we routinely recommend. Her approach to photography is authentic and personal and photos are always filled with so much emotion. She seems to perfectly capture couples in a way that allows you to feel like you know them and their personal story. She is perfect for couples looking to have their day captured naturally and not in a forced style. Along with her talent, Jess is a joy to work with on wedding days. She's a quit yet quick, seeming to always be where she needs to be at exactly the right moment without having a camera in your face. With so many photographers out in the market, it can be hard to stand out, but Jess has seemingly found her place in this industry and her work speaks for itself. Any couple would be lucky to have her capture their day and any vendor is lucky to work alongside her.
