Jaimee Raneigh Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Shady Side, MD for additional fees

I’m Jaimee—a storyteller, world traveler, and lover of old stuff. With over 100 weddings photographed, I’ve learned that wedding days are about presence > perfection. My documentary-style photography is honest, fun, and rooted in telling your story exactly as it unfolds—raw, real, and beautifully yours. I’m passionate about capturing the moments that matter most: your partner’s look during the vows, friends dancing like no one’s watching, and those in-between moments you might miss but will cherish forever. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m immersed in nature, treasure hunting in antique shops, or planning my next adventure.

If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures the essence of your love but also makes the entire elopement experience feel effortless, Jaimee is the one you need. From our first interaction to the final photos, Jaimee’s approach was warm, professional, and deeply intuitive. The final photos were nothing short of stunning. Each shot perfectly encapsulated the love, joy, and authenticity of our day. We cherish every image, and they will forever serve as beautiful reminders of our special moments together. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also truly cares about telling your unique story, we can't recommend Jaimee enough. She exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so lucky to have had her by our side during such a special time in our lives.

Mary is the best!!! She helped me plan an out-of-state engagement shoot and went above and beyond and considered every little detail. When shoot day came, we were both so nervous beforehand, but Mary immediately made us feel so comfortable and at ease.

Not only did they make us feel comfortable, but they made our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera as well. We had a long distance wedding, on the other side of Michigan and Dj and Ashley were there for every moment. They listened to us and our visions for the pictures and gave us the wedding pictures of our dreams. We had our edited sneak peaks that same night and the rest of the pictures less than a week later. We are so beyond lucky to have had them photograph our wedding and so would you if you hired them.

Hi! I'm Taylor a Georgia based Wedding photographer, mommy, and cheesecake lover. Obsessed with: Family, Naps, and good books. I’ve been keeping it real since 1997. I started my business when I was just 17 years old. Since then I have turned that small hobby into a full time career photographing beautiful couples love stories. Throughout my 8 years in business, I have been lucky enough to photograph over 200 weddings throughout Georgia and the other southern states.

As a wedding officiant, I have the pleasure of working with so many different vendors, photographers in particular, and I can honestly say that Taylor is one of the best! Working with her is always fabulous! Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing perfect moments and special details are second to none. She puts couples at ease with her easy going nature which helps them to relax around her and act naturally, in turn allowing her to capture a variety of gorgeous shots. During the ceremony itself, she blends seamlessly into the background while effortlessly capturing the essence of the heart of the ceremony. So much so that, as the officiant, I am unaware that she is even there which I think is a perfect approach for that particular part of the wedding day! Taylors work is truly beautiful and her commitment to ensuring her couples have the best possible photography experience attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes her a standout choice for any wedding or special event. I highly recommend Taylor to couples seeking not only beautiful photographs that will serve as lasting memories, but also a stress-free, authentic, personable experience on their big day.

Making personal connection with you is important to me. I believe in serving couples from every background and the more I learn about you the better I can serve you as your wedding photographer. I currently reside in DC but have also living in LA, The Bay Area, and Morocco.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

Ashley (she/they), owner of Wide Eyed Studios, is a Philadelphia-based luxury wedding photographer. She specializes in engagement shoots, boudoir, rehearsal dinner coverage, elopement, local and travel weddings, as well as day after portrait sessions. WES offers versatile packages & pricing; reach out and speak with Ashley about your needs.

Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios gave us something we couldn't find anywhere else. They were able to capture the totality of our destination wedding experience. On top of that Ashley and Rebecca were able to take the pressure off of couples portraits before the wedding by creating a unique, intimate, striking, outdoor day-after location shoot. This allowed us to enjoy the run up to our wedding with minimal disruptions and gave us a portrait shoot that exceeded our expectations. Having Wide Eyed Studios with us during our entire destination event helped us authentically capture all of the fun moments we had with our friends and family leading up to the wedding. They were able to capture so much more than I had expected, and we now have so much more to look back on with incredible photos. With all of the amazing imagery that was captured, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception got even more love. The comfort level that was already gained with Ashley having been integrated with the group upleveled all of the content that was captured on wedding day. We are so thankful for all of the moments that were captured. Overall, the entire experience with Ashely and Wide Eyed Studios was so meaningful to us. They felt more a part of our celebration than a vendor we hired to support it. We couldn't have asked for anything more and the pictures we received still make us shake our heads with disbelief. Thank you, Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios for making our destination wedding the best it could possibly be.

  • Serves Shady Side, MD for additional fees

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

I am small town guy who got hooked on photography from a photo class I took in high school. Fast forward a few years a college professor asked if I wanted to photograph a colleague's wedding and that was it, I was hooked. I loved the honest emotions, the story telling, and the sincere connection with people. Fast forward again, I have now developed an approach to a wedding where I let the day happen naturally so I can capture all of the candid moments and genuine emotions.

We hired Dan for our November 2021 wedding about 18 months out (I like lots of time to slowly plan). When we started to interview photographers, Dan was very communicative. We had a wonderful phone call where he answered my dozens of questions, and we learned we had the same alma mater! Based on the phone call/email exchange and his portfolio, we hired Dan. Throughout the whole process, from hiring to delivering the final product, Dan was patient, accommodating, understanding, and very professional. His quality of work is phenomenal. We're thrilled with our photos; they're stunning. He is thorough in making sure he understands your needs for the wedding day, the flow of the day, and what pictures are important for him to capture. As the wedding day got closer, we checked in a few times to review those items. Dan was always receptive to my questions. Because the business is just Dan, the whole experience feels more intimate and special than if working with a larger photography business. He let us know the timeline of delivering our wedding photos, and he stuck to it. We booked during one of the busier times of year, so our timeline was 6 – 8 weeks, and he delivered as promised. Something I appreciate about Dan’s work is that he takes hundreds/ thousands of photos, but he doesn’t just give you a link to all of them you have to sift through 2,000 photos. He curates your wedding portfolio, culling out all the duplicates/not good ones, and gives you a beautiful package of edited photos. This is general advice to apply to anything, but if there is a specific type of photo you want, let your photographer know; no one is a mind-reader, including your photographer. I had some very specific (non-traditional) requests and Dan worked with me and our wedding party to accommodate those, weather permitting. He was always on board with my photo requests and making sure he understood what I wanted, and I really appreciated his enthusiasm and care. Also, not all photographers take time to do this during the wedding, but Dan went around to our guests’ tables to take photos of them, which was a wonderful gift to us to have more photos of our loved ones. Choosing a wedding photographer is understandably stressful; it was for me. The options are endless, and I spent hours/days researching dozens and dozens of photographers, and I had classic anxiety about making the perfect or “right” choice. Hopefully, I can save someone else the rabbit hole or researching: Dan was/is excellent. I think his price point is very competitive, and you will be glad you hired him; we absolutely are.

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.

Maddie is amazing to work with! We have hired her multiple times as a second/3rd shooter for wedding photography. She is not only incredibly talented as a photographer, she is personable and professional. She is punctual, easy to communicate with, and is such a joyful person to have around on a wedding day. Her talent, personality, and creativity make her an easy choice for an elopement photographer! She is a joy and I can’t wait to work with her again soon.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Chris photographed our wedding in October of 2021 and did an INCREDIBLE job. We started with an engagement shoot that was a great way to practice for our wedding day. We learned all of the popular poses so that on our actual wedding day we didn’t feel awkward posing. He was incredibly organized and thorough throughout the entire process and the results were perfect. The entire day was planned out and he photographed every shot we wanted. We also had a beautiful wedding video and I had special requests for the video that he easily accommodated! The entire day ran smoothly thanks to his organization. He was extremely professional but we also had SO much fun. I felt like I was with a friend throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Chris for any event.

Dwayne and his associates are truly incredible - throughout our entire wedding, from the beginning stages of planning to the end of the wedding, Dwayne was always in full support of ideas and our marriage. They were timely, responsive, flexible, and made the wedding insanely fun and comfortable for our guests with humor and friendliness. Wish we could have given more than just 5 stars!

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

Caroline captured our small intimate wedding perfectly! Her warm personality and professionalism made us feel so comfortable infront of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully. Highly recommend working with her.

Aireal is an absolute gem! From the moment we connected with her, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer for us. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which isn’t easy!). She captured every moment perfectly—both the big, emotional ones and the sweet little candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Her attention to detail is amazing, and she has such a creative eye. Our photos are absolutely stunning, and we’ve received so many compliments from family and friends. What we appreciated the most was how personal and invested Aireal was throughout the entire process. She genuinely cared about making us feel comfortable and our day special and worked seamlessly with our other vendors to keep everything on track. Plus, her energy and enthusiasm were so contagious throughout the day! If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture your love story, Aireal 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 strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

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!

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 am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and much of that was thanks to our incredible photographer, Silvia. From our first meeting, her calm demeanor and positive outlook put us at ease. Silvia has a unique ability to blend into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of the day. Her calm presence was a soothing force during the hustle and bustle, making us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Every photo she took is a testament to her talent and passion for her work. Silvia didn’t just take pictures; she told our love story through her lens, and for that, we are forever grateful.

We take on weddings as a husband and wife pair, who have been in your shoes. Mark and I have been shooting weddings together now for 7 years. We are unobtrusive and focus on capturing each moment as it unfolds. Telling your unique love story for you to cherish forever. We offer many add ons including engagement, drone video, and boudoir. Ask us about package discounts. Let us capture your happily ever after.

Tiff from Limetree Photo is nothing short of amazing! From the moment we met her, we knew we were in the best hands. Our engagement shoot was a wild adventure—complete with swarms of mosquitoes—but Tiff didn’t miss a beat. She embraced the chaos and turned it into a fun, creative experience, capturing incredible shots that we’ll always treasure. Her ability to adapt and make the most out of any situation is truly unmatched. Tiff brought that same energy and care to our wedding day. She took the time to get to know our family and understand the deep history and meaning behind our family farm, where we celebrated our big day. It wasn’t just a venue to her—she captured its soul, and that’s something we’ll never forget. She worked wonders with the kids at our wedding, too—seven little ones under four years old! Somehow, she managed to get all the family shots without a single meltdown (a miracle in itself). Beyond her talent with photography, Tiff was incredibly flexible, rolling with any last-minute schedule changes and even helping us think through our timeline and logistics. Her recommendations for other vendors were spot-on, and her support was invaluable throughout the entire process. When we saw the final photos, we were blown away. They perfectly captured every emotion, every detail, every moment. These aren’t just pictures—they’re memories we’ll cherish forever. Tiff didn’t just feel like a photographer; she felt like part of the family. If you’re looking for someone who is creative, professional, and genuinely invested in your story, Tiff from Limetree Photo is the one. We can’t recommend her enough!
