We absolutely loved working with Vanessa to capture our Sep 2021 wedding, and that is an understatement! Everything was seamless, from communication at our first meeting to the day of the wedding. Vanessa is one of the most talented creatives I've had the pleasure of knowing - and not to mention she is one of the nicest, most easygoing people around. She brings so much positivity and personality to her work, and it shows in her beautiful photographs. Truly one of the best planning decisions we made was bringing Vanessa and her team on board!!

  • Serves Shady Side, MD for additional fees

Hi! My name is Corrina and I am an experienced documentary wedding photographer based out of the Philly suburbs. I have photographed hundreds of couples up and down the East Coast. I take a photojournalistic approach to your images so that you can be fully present to live each moment authentically with the people that matter the most to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Corrina was our engagement and wedding photographer. I really do not enjoy having my photo taken. Corrina made our posed engagement photo shoot a breeze and was more than happy to travel to multiple locations. She was fantastic with our 5 year old daughter and made us feel completely comfortable and in our element. As a creative person myself I had a vision and theme of what I wanted our engagement photos to say about us as a couple and family. Corrina not only saw my vision but also added to it. After seeing how amazing our engagement photos turned out we knew we wanted her as our Wedding Photographer. Corrina had posted online that she was looking to shoot a small wedding completely in the photojournalism style. I loved her vision. It was exactly what I didn’t know I wanted for my wedding day. The only problem was our wedding was NOT small lol. Corrina was kind enough to extend the offer to us anyway. It was THE BEST DECISION I’VE MADE! She got it all. We had no posed pictures so we were truly able to immerse ourselves in our wedding day and enjoy every single moment. She captured all the special, tender, emotional, happy, crazy moments. She never missed a beat. She was a fly on the wall and still managed to make me feel like the most important and beautiful person in the room. She connected and vibed with all our guests in the most wonderful way. Again, our pictures completely blew us away! She has an amazing eye behind the camera and her attention to detail when editing created the most stunning way to look back on the best day of our lives. If you are looking for a photographer to classically capture any of your special moments or jump outside of the box and get a little creative Corinna is your girl!!!!

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs!

We had the most amazing experience with Him & Her Photography! Josh and Alisha did both our engagement and wedding photography and went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!

A photographer was our most important vendor on our wedding day and I’m so glad we chose DUB Photography. From our first meeting with Matt, I could tell he was organized and professional and would be someone we could count on. I can’t say enough good things about Matt and his second photographer, Will. All night, they felt like part of the family. They were a calming presence from the moment they arrived and didn’t miss a beat. So many guests commented on how great Matt and Will were! Since the wedding, Matt has been extremely responsive and always happy to give an update. We received all our photos within a month of our wedding (and we got married during the height of the busy season for weddings)! Looking through our gallery, I realized not a second was missed. There are photos of every single important moment and all the moments in between! The photos are beautiful and really captured the feel of our day. Do not hesitate to book DUB Photography, you will not be disappointed.

My name is Maddie and I'm the photographer behind Eternally Wild. With a camera in hand, I capture stories that would have otherwise become lost - the ones memories can only hold for so long before they fade away. I capture nature and lovers and soulmates in their most fleetingly beautiful moments. I believe photography is magical. Photographs remember the past in vivid color and tell the best love stories without words. They are reminders that we were, are, and will always be eternally wild.

Right from the start Maddie was so sweet to work with, she made us both feel very comfortable with posing and we had so much fun!! And the pictures came out better than I could dream of!

Daniel and Andre are the absolute best team! We had the pleasure of doing a little doggy photo shoot with our elderly yellow lab before our wedding providing an opportunity to meet Daniel before our big day. He’s a fun guy! We had great conversations, received guidance on poses (we needed it ), and had an overall fantastic experience getting some beautiful shots. Fast forward to our wedding day. Daniel and Andre are a force to be reckoned with. From the moment they got to our venue to the end of the night they never stopped! They got all the photo and video shots using unique angles, candid moments, staging moments, and running around in between to make it all happen. I would hire both of these talented gentlemen in a heartbeat and recommend them to all friends and family. Thank you both for capturing our day!

I absolutely love LOVE. I would love to capture your love story and give you images you will cherish for a lifetime. Capturing beautiful images is important but to me capturing beautiful moments is the most important. I’m a big fan of morning walks with my family, running, cycling, hiking, good music, sunny days, last minute trips, and apple products. I love Jesus, my wife, my daughter Harper, my son Smith, traveling, experiencing new cultures, my family, and helping others. As a husband, I firmly believe in marriage and want to do my best to capture all that it means to get married and to celebrate that with you through photography.

Let me just start by saying that Adam is ABSOLUTELY worth the hype. From the moment we first spoke over the phone I knew he cared just as much about our wedding as we did. He understood how important photographic memories are to me and went above and beyond to capture genuine moments throughout the night. He brought a contagious professional yet fun energy that kept everyone feeling welcome and relaxed all day which made for beautiful photos. If you and your partner are not sure how you’ll feel in front of the camera… no worries! I can attest that Adam doubles as your professional hype man from the moment he arrives. He made me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera and the proof is in the photos. Adam truly does it all! You won’t regret having him as part of your day!

Belinda is incredible. We hired her back in September and are having a larger ceremony/reception in 2025. The first time we met her she drove almost three hours to us in November and the second time was for our fairly rushed legal ceremony two hours away from her. My grandparents are the reason we moved our wedding up. Not only did she allow us to substitute our engagement shoot for this ceremony, she of her own volition and the kindness of her heart included family portraits of my grandparents individually and together knowing that they were more my concern. She made them feel included, and was beyond accommodating of their needs and handicaps. Her kindness, grace, professionalism, and ability to work with people knows no bounds and I would recommend her to anyone. I tear up every time I think about how incredible she is and how blessed I am to have her as part of my special day. You cannot go wrong hiring her.

Hello, and welcome! Nick here, and I first wanted to stay thank you for taking the time to check out my work, and I look forward to the opportunity to capture your wedding day!

Working with Maggie and Hank was a dream! They were helpful with helping to create a timeline of our day and they were very thoughtful and thorough with their suggestions. We always felt comfortable working with them even though my husband and I aren’t necessarily the most comfortable in front of the camera! I would absolutely hire them again for future life events

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

Hannah was born to two people whom she's never met. She was born without a name, without a birthdate, and placed in an orphanage in China. Her journey into photography began with the resolve to honor the unknown history and heritage of the past. Preserving the stories that shape families and those in it has become her life's work. Over the last decade, Hannah has honed her expertise to destination celebrations, traveling to document couples all over the US. She is recognized in nation-wide publications such as BRIDES, Martha Stewart Weddings, Pottery Barn, and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah was the wedding photographer of my dreams! She is so attentive to detail, and she is so organized. She did a lot of research beforehand into my preferences, what were important and memorable items to me, about my family, and who my husband and I are as a couple. She knew that me and my mom are artists and incorporated our art into my wedding photos, which was such a special surprise to me. She herself is an artistic genius and her photographs were more beautiful than I could have imagined. She truly captured the emotions and feelings of the day in her photographs, all done with such a great artistic eye. We had formal portraits but I did not feel like we spent hours taking formal pictures. Hannah also has the kindest heart and such a positive spirit which was such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. We also were so lucky to have her husband as our second photographer. They both truly care about their clients and worked so hard to capture every perfect moment on our wedding day. We will cherish our photographs for a lifetime. I truly cannot be any more grateful that we had Hannah and her husband Corey as our wedding photographers!

Each event, at it’s root, is a story. It’s a unique story of that moment in time- a newborn coming home, a bride and groom embracing or a grandmother on her 85th birthday - and it's an important moment to hold still. My role as a photographer is to tell that story as honestly as I can. I want people to look back on these memories and remember it exactly as they experienced it. That’s why I aim for transparency in my photography that neither adds nor takes away from the moments that I am documenting.

Awarded Best of Zola
Meredith was an absolute joy to work with! Her warm, fun energy instantly put us at ease, allowing us to feel comfortable and be ourselves, which truly shines through in our photos. She has an incredible eye for not only capturing the background, lighting, and surroundings perfectly but also bringing out the unique personality of everyone she photographs. We did our engagement photoshoot in NYC, which captured a cool, chic city love story, and our wedding day photoshoot at a vineyard in Charlottesville, VA, on a beautiful summer day. The vineyard setting was so dreamy, and Meredith effortlessly captured the natural beauty of the day, making every moment look timeless and elegant. When you look at her pictures, it feels like you’re reliving those moments. Her shots are full of life—not stiff or posed—but vibrant and authentic, capturing the true essence of each moment. Meredith was also incredibly kind and easy to work with, offering thoughtful advice both before and during the shoot. This was our first time having professional photos taken, but thanks to her, we felt relaxed from the start. Her work is a perfect mix of classy, modern, and elegant, with a splash of fun and a seize-the-day vibe. We’re already excited to work with her again—hopefully for our next photoshoot, when we have a baby! Cannot recommend her enough - just do it, book her!!!

Congratulations!! What an exciting time in your life! I am truly honored that you have taken then time to consider me as your wedding photographer. Here's some fun facts about me... I am obsessed with sunsets, pickles are my favorite food, and espresso and tequila are my favorite drinks! I'm a mom of 3 teenagers, I have photographed a living president, and I've always lived close to water, but the mountains are my favorite place! Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer, I've acted in a movie, and I've watched every Marvel movie in chronological order. My biggest bucket list item is to travel the world and photograph in other countries!

Terah was absolutely amazing! She truly exceeded our expectations. She came fully prepared with a shot list and easily worked around some hiccups we had along the way. Our teaser photos turned out amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest. I cannot recommend her enough!

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.
