Laura McMullin Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Laura photographed out January wedding and absolutely KILLED IT! We had used another photographer for our engagement photos and just weren’t vibing with her, and after our first call with Laura I felt so calm and so trusting that she was the perfect person to photograph our day! Laura is professional, organized, talented and was truly a joy to spend our wedding day with. I would recommend her to anyone for any event big or small.

We love working with smart, light hearted, fun, and easy going people. Searching out natural light wherever possible we take an energetic and vibrant approach to photography. We stay true to who we are by maintaining a creative vision throughout your wedding day.

We first met Wendy a few weeks before our wedding to do a walkthrough of the venue, and instantly fell in love with her. We knew right away that she would be a dream to work with on our wedding day, and we were right! Wendy and Liz made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and kept us laughing and giggling right from the very beginning. The photos were so amazing! They were clear and beautiful and there was a wonderful balance of both candid and posed photos that captured the details of the day. We got pregnant soon after getting married and when our son was born, there was not a second of hesitation in choosing Wendy for our newborn photos. Once again, Wendy and Liz showed up with the same positive and high energy attitudes that we experienced on our wedding day, and the photos captured our son Charlie perfectly. We have since done a mini-shoot for holiday cards and another newborn photo shoot. Every time, Alex and I have to debate over which picture is the BEST to use because there are so many great ones. Beware - if you do a mini-shoot you will want to buy all of the photos :) Wendy and Liz are fun, passionate, caring and patient. They will do anything to get the perfect shot and put you completely at ease. They have been such an integral part of capturing important moments in our family from day one. Hopefully you will get to experience the same pleasure of working with them that we have.

Sarah James Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the first time we spoke, Sarah and her partner Jack were incredibly responsive, calming, and quick to address any questions or concerns we had. Their professionalism, talent, and supportive, reassuring approach put us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Sarah and Jack complimented each other perfectly, bringing the best energy and making us feel less awkward since we don't take many photos.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

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.

We loved working with Jasmine. She's an incredibly talented photographer and even sweeter person! She solo photographed our 150 person wedding and didn't miss a thing. My husband and I met her by chance while we all were attending the same university, so when we were looking for a wedding photographer years later, we knew we wanted Jasmine to capture the special day!

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees).

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it!

We’d worked with Paul in the past capturing holiday photos and our engagement shoot, but we weren’t prepared for the incredible video and photography he captured at our wedding. We were blown away. He turned our memories into magic. His team put us at ease. They were professional and fun. We are incredibly awkward but somehow they managed to relax us in front of the camera. Our friends and family couldn’t believe their eyes when we shared our images on social media. It truly feels like we get to relive the experience every time we watch the video.

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!!

We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Working with Cassidy was a fantastic experience. He listened to what we wanted, gave us ideas from his experience working at our venue and made us feel completely comfortable. Everyone told us when selecting a photographer to make sure you are comfortable with them since they are involved in some of the most intimate moments of your day - and while that was true - he managed to get so many great shots without intruding or in some cases even being noticed. He caught serious moments, funny private moments and of course all of the formal moments. We have recommended him to multiple friends of ours and will continue to do that moving forward. You cannot go wrong working with Cassidy!

Dion Lawson is a photographer, content creator, and filmmaker based in Colorado. Raised in the Washington DC area, Dion was drawn to spending as much time as possible outdoors (hence the move to Denver) which allowed him to use natural light as a starting point to create his art. Creating his art in its natural light also taught Dion how to manipulate all forms of light to get the most artistic imagery he could imagine.

I am blown away by the photos we received from our engagement and wedding session with Dion. He was responsive and professional but most of all he made my fiancee and I feel very comfortable during our session. He went above and beyond my expectations and ensured we received the highest quality photos.

I began my photography career over 15 years ago as a photographer for a Natural History Museum. There I learned to be versatile and to shoot anything from galleries, portraits, events to fossils and fieldwork. Just like the museum, weddings also call for a versatile photographer to catch great details, ceremony and reception spaces, portraits and events. But with my wedding photography, I push for more. Inspired by photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, I follow the light and seek decisive moments—emotion and reactions.

Liz photographed our wedding this spring and we’re absolutely obsessed with the photos. She captured so many sweet organic moments of our love and with our guests, and she has such a great eye for color. Our wedding was bright and colorful out in nature, and everything just pops so well in the photos while still looking really natural. Liz was so kind and helpful and easy to work with the whole time. Highly recommend working with her for your wedding!

I want to tell your story. I am a mix of Documentary and Editorial style of Photography. I want my photos to be a piece of art you hang on your wall. Or an album you pass down to your children and your grandchildren. I believe location is a very important element in telling your story. I am willing to travel, hike, take a boat, whatever I need to do to arrive at the location that inspires and represents you.

Between Sarah's incredible photography skills and lively personality, her services are unmatched! She has the ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera with her easygoing nature and helpful prompts. For gorgeous pictures resulting from fun photo sessions, look no further than Sarah Sykes Photography!

MFields Photography

After my first year of college studying music, I decided to take the business route. I worked for several Fortune 500 businesses and even some start-ups. Photography initially started as a hobby but it slowly became a passion as I developed a growing desire to serve others instead of quarterly sales goals. Studying various genres of photography allowed me to discover wedding & portrait photography - and the rest is history! From Washington DC to your destination event, my specialties include weddings, engagement sessions, and portrait photography.

Prior to finding out about MFields Photography, I was very frustrated with the process of booking a wedding photographer. So much so that by chance I was venting to my dental hygienist about my lackluster experience of finding a wedding photographer to capture one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Luckily she understood my dilemma since she was a newlywed. She told me all about MFields Photography and how great he was to work with. After my appointment she showed me her wedding pictures and I was SOLD. I called Myron the next day and he been making my role as a bride easy ever since. Myron is a valuable resource to have on your wedding team. Not only is he a great photographer, but he is well respected in his field. He also connected us to other reputable wedding professionals that helped us bring the magic for our wedding day. We are beyond grateful.
