When we started our wedding planning we had no idea how expensive photo/videography is for your wedding and then we found broadside visuals on instagram. They offered an amazing package of both photo and video for an amazing price so we booked them not knowing how truly talented they really are! We are sooo glad we went with them. They were so easy to communicate with, they answered all our questions. When our wedding day came they arrived early and were there until the very end. They were so kind, directed us in poses, and made everyone feel very comfortable. Before the wedding I gave them my timeline and a shot list of poses/photos I wanted. The day of they followed the timeline so well and we got done with photos usually before it was even listed for on the timeline. They reminded me of the poses I wanted from the shot list when I was too busy to remember. And we got such beautiful sunset photos that I wanted but in the business of it all would have missed if they didn't remind us. We got our sneak peak photos two weeks after our wedding and were obsessed. The photos came out so beautiful alongside our highlight video that we will continue to rewatch and relive our day through it. We are so thankful we have these pictures and videos to look back on for the rest of our lives!! Just go do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding you won't regret it!

Hey, I'm Chris! Dog-lover, latte-lover, gym-lover, and cookie-lover I justify the cookies by going to the gym. One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband Will and I got married in October and we planned everything together. Hands down, the easiest and best decision we made (besides going through with the marriage ;-)) was picking Chris as our photographer. He was so easy to work with from the get go. We set up a brief meeting, shared our vision (we wanted a "photojournalist approach"), and mapped out a schedule of events. Anything that we did not think to ask, he made sure to bring up and help make our vision more complete. Chris was excellent at capturing all of the tiny moments of the night without being in anyone's way. The pictures that he captured were absolutely STUNNING--the perfect amount of sentimental moments captured in beautiful lighting and silly off the cuff moments that captured the essence of each and every guest. We would work again with Chris in a heartbeat and friends have already requested his contact information for their ceremony. As an added bonus, because we did not end up using Chris for all of the allotted time, he offered to do a separate photoshoot whenever we would like. It's those little attention to details and customer service which make Chris stand out from the rest. Overall, Chris was kind, professional, quick to edit and publish photos, and an amazing photographer. You would not do wrong by hiring him!

Lindsay and Nathan are an incredible team. From booking them two years ago, doing our engagement session, and now having gotten sneak peaks back from our wedding that was just 2 days ago, I’m completely blown away by how incredible they have been!

I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them!

She was receptive to our wants/ ideas and very responsive. We got our engagement photos back super quick and they made me so excited for the wedding day. Our photos were light, bright and airy and more beautiful than we could have imagined. She was so nice, friendly and efficient. She was headed out of town after our wedding, and she surprised us with 20ish preview photos the very next day before she left. I would recommend her over and over!

My husband and I worked with Lindsay and Greg for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and cannot say enough good things! As people who are *not* models or familiar being photographed, we were nervous about how things would turn out and Lindsay and Greg made it incredibly easy and natural. They went out of their way to get to know us beforehand and put us at ease, which certainly came through in our engagement pictures! We knew we wanted wedding photos that felt candid and captured the day itself as opposed to a ton of posed portraits and they did a spectacular job helping bring our vision to life. All of our friends and family who have seen our photos have remarked that they are joyful and bring them back to our wedding day--exactly as we'd hoped!! In addition to being great at their job, they are really lovely people to work with and were a very calming presence on our chaotic wedding day!

Crooked Fence Farm is a family operation in Parkton, MD operated by Sarah and Billy McCarthy and supported by a skilled and dedicated team. We specialize in sustainable and seasonally grown blooms that will delight for any special occasion. Sarah is a former professional pastry chef with extensive experience in wedding and special event management. Uniting this expertise with our passion for sustainable growing practices, Crooked Fence Farm is the ideal option for an authentic, skillful, and magical floral component of your next event.

We can’t thank Sarah's team enough for creating such gorgeous florals and installations, even with a rain delay and plan B fully in effect. We appreciated her ability to ‘bring the outside in’ and it really felt like that. Sarah went above and beyond to make our floral dreams come true, all while respecting our budget and working hard to give us what we wanted. We loved supporting her business and her farm and working with her was a great experience with her positive attitude, passion, and vast knowledge of both florals and wedding planning. I wish I had more time to just stare at all of the little floral details at our wedding. The white ceremony columns with the white urns on top truly looked like an art installation; they were stunning. They were the perfect backdrop to our ceremony. THE STAIRCASE. I have never heard so many compliments. It was DREAMY. The tiny vines that spun around the railing. The ivy. The floral focal point at the bottom. It was better than I could have even imagined. It also smelled amazing and was the perfect place to do the wedding toasts, it will live forever in our videos and photos! The mantle installations also looked amazing (again something I wish I had more time to look at!!). THE PEONIES. It’s official that our wedding had a signature scent and it was PEONY! Which was also fitting since I wore peony perfume that day so now peonies will forever remind me of our wedding day which is so exciting for me because I love them. THE CENTERPIECES were perfect floating masterpieces just like I imagined. The combination of florals Sarah put together was classic but with an abstract/ organic twist and I loved all of the different unique buds in each one. The BOUQUETS turned out so beautiful. I loved how they were different but complimented each other so well. The shapes were so fun and you really got to see the color contrast which was perfect. 10/10 recommend working with Sarah for your wedding! (photos via @morganshootsfilm)

She’ll make you laugh and feel extremely comfortable even when you are the most uncomfortable in front of the camera. She was able to capture many moments already in my life with engagement pictures, wedding pictures, and maternity pictures.

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

My business was in need of professional headshots and Sara did an amazing job! Her pricing is fair, she communicates in a timely manner, and she has a nice studio perfect for the photos I wanted. Not only did she take individual headshots, but she also took group shots of my team. Despite some of my employees being camera shy, Sara knew just how to get them out of their shell and direct them into taking the photos. I am very impressed by how Sara conducts her business and recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer!

I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

Imagine your session as a time capsule, not just freezing moments but encapsulating the very essence of your experiences—the laughter, the shared glances, and the whispers that echo in your memories. I aspire to create a visual odyssey where each image you relive not only the scenes but emotions, thoughts, and ambiance of your session.

We were able to communicate throughout the wedding day fairly seamlessly. I was able to work with her on getting the bride and groom a moment alone before moving on to the next event on the day. She was super nice and professional and was able to work with me on timeframe if something needed to change or we needed to move something in the timeline around. It was such a pleasure to work with her and I look forward to crossing paths again in the future should the opportunity arise.

I also had the opportunity to see pictures from an earlier photo shoot of the couple and they were breathtaking. Natalia was in the right place at the right time - Capturing the moment.

Bloom Culture: Do-it-Yourself Wedding Flowers was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first inquiry, their communication was prompt, kind, and professional. They answered all of my specific questions with personal responses, making the DIY flower process so easy and stress-free. The quality of their work was consistent, thorough, and truly showed how much they cared about making our day special. We saved so much money going the DIY route with Bloom Culture, and it allowed us to create so many wonderful memories putting the arrangements together with our wedding party. I highly recommend Bloom Culture to any couples looking for a reliable, affordable, and caring florist for their wedding. I wanted to do my own flowers to honor my grandmother who was a florist. She passed a few months before the wedding and I just know she would have absolutely loved it and we got to honor her in this way.

I believe you should be present on your wedding day, not rushing through a timeline just to check boxes. That's why our goal is to provide our couples with a photography experience that allows you to be fully present so that you can truly have the time of your life celebrating with your people, laugh your way through pictures, and dance the night away with your best friends. In the end, your wedding images should be a direct reflection of the memories you made, not moments that were forced.

I cannot recommend Meghan enough. We've just gotten our sneak peeks and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for our full gallery! Our photos are stunning, and she went above and beyond just photos. When I didn't know where to turn in some planning aspects, I asked if she had any advice and she always came through. She was so chill throughout everything. She knows weddings like the back of her hand. I never felt like we were on our own. She kept me cool and calm when some family members sparked some frustration. She kept us on track with our requested shot list but also gave us room to explore different poses and different locations at the venue. She was also great at giving my husband (!) and me directions on how to pose (we're quite awkward in front of the camera) and managed to make us look like complete naturals! She also brought along her amazing team so we got so many pictures and amazing candid moments. Just a few of the sneak peeks have already made me tear up. Our day was amazing and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to document it all. By the end of it all, Meghan felt more like a friend than just our photographer. THANK YOU MEGHAN!! YOU QUEEN!!

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

Jasmine was my photographer for my wedding and I can say with absolute certainty she is the only photographer I will ever use for anything. She was a magical addition to our day. She went above and beyond to make sure we were ready, she was SO KIND, she made it feel like she was my old friend with a camera (even though it was our first time meeting!) And the pictures. OH the pictures. They were BREATH TAKING. She gave us literal magic that day and I will treasure the memories always.

She heard my wishes and concerns about our wedding photos and helped me see her vision. And even got me in a rowboat! (Forever Grateful!) And the final results are breathtaking and I can’t choose a single photo I love more than others. They’re all above and beyond my expectations. I also want to say…Makayla kept me calm prior to the ceremony in ways she probably doesn’t even know she helped me. She exudes kindness and anyone near her feels it.

I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough for anyone looking for an exceptional wedding videographer. From the moment we first met, it was clear that he had a true passion for capturing the beauty and emotion of our special day. Andrew took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our vision, and ensure every detail was accounted for. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early, was incredibly professional, and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. One of the things that stood out to me was Andrew's ability to be both present and unobtrusive. He managed to capture all the important moments without ever making us feel like we were being filmed. The result was a series of candid, beautiful shots that truly reflected the joy and love of the day. Andrew also worked seamlessly with our photographer, ensuring that both video and photo moments were perfectly coordinated.

I love to tell the story of a wedding day and capture all the forms of love found there. It’s definitely not an “I have to go to work today” career. For me … it’s “I GET to go to work each day!" There is nothing I would rather do more than have my camera in my hands & working with wonderful people.

Sharon and her second shooter, Hannah, are simply the best. Sharon's professionalism, creativity, customer service and commitment to detail were unmatched during the planning process and everything came to a beautiful crescendo on our wedding day in Charlotte, NC in June 2024. She understands family dynamics and approaches her work with love and respect. Her innate ability to capture light, emotion, movement and grace cannot be overstated.
