Being outside enjoying the warm sun, feeling a cool breeze, and laughing with friends and family by the Chesapeake just make my heart sing! When I’m not busy working on beautiful weddings, I’m trying to motivate myself to go for a run or I’m curled up on the couch with my husband, my 3 cats & a true crime doc. You'll always find me decked out in bright colors, no matter what time of year! As a native Marylander, I love getting out and exploring more of my home state - and beyond!

I could not recommend Mandi from Chesapeake Charm enough!! She was the photographer for our wedding in 2021 at Rosewood Farms in Elkton, MD. As soon as I saw Mandi’s photography when we were wedding planning, I knew that we needed her for our wedding - she was one of the first vendors that we booked! I fell in love with the bright & airy style of her photos. I absolutely loved working with her, from our initial consultation meeting to our wedding day. We even had her do our family photos with our baby for Christmas in 2023! You will absolutely not regret hiring Mandi as your photographer!

And so, Snowdrop was born. A place where I can create and love what I do. Capture memories and magic and joy in a single moment.

Alex photographed AND officiated our little last minute Vegas elopement and we had so much fun! She was incredibly creative and got some of the coolest shots. She even managed to capture those sweet little moments you didn’t even know you’d want photos of. She made the whole process easy, fun, STRESS FREE and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day.

I understand how it feels to be overwhelmed with options and not see yourself in the inspiration. Like you, I'm frustrated by the pressures placed on couples to have your wedding a certain way. No one should feel stuck doing things like everyone else. Your story is unique, just like you. I embrace comfort through natural storytelling. Fostering a relaxed wedding environment to capture love stories cherished for generations. Collector of tattoos and vintage cameras. Ravens fan and UFC convert. Always appreciating good whiskey and snuggles with my golden retrievers.

We had the pleasure of working with Nicole for our wedding in January 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From our initial consultation, it was clear that she was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about capturing our special day. Throughout the entire process, Nicole was incredibly organized and attentive. She took the time to understand our vision and offered valuable suggestions that enhanced our overall experience. Nicole truly made us so comfortable in a position we felt so vulnerable in. On the wedding day, she arrived promptly and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. The photos are absolutely stunning! Nicole has a remarkable eye for detail and captured every moment beautifully. From candid shots to posed portraits, each image reflects the joy and emotion of the day. She took our vision of a cozy winter wedding and turned the photos into our dream. Nicole was also very innovative in coming up with a beautiful rain plan as we were expecting snow rather than rain on our special day. The editing was top-notch, and we received our photos in a very timely manner. Considering the exceptional quality of the work and the level of service provided, Nicole offers great value for money. We felt that every penny spent was worth it for the memories we now have to cherish forever. She truly had a package for every budget! Working with Nicole was a highlight of our wedding planning. Her expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Nicole was ultimately the ring leader of the day who kept the ball rolling. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for beautiful, high-quality wedding photography to match all personalities. Thank you, Nicole, for capturing our special day in such a magical way!

A German import and world traveler who is obsessed with her adopted home of beautiful Old Ellicott City, Maryland. I've had the pleasure of capturing weddings for 7 years now, and nothing excites me more than creating keepsakes and story relics for people to cherish and share with their families for years to come. To this day, I still get touched by the joy, emotion-filled tears, and raucous parties that I have the privilege to witness and be a part of! My clients feel like family, and I don’t take that honor lightly!

From the moment we reached out to steady&sway, communication was quick, easy, and clear. Isabel’s work is simply amazing, with a soft and beautiful style that perfectly captured the personalities of my husband and I on our special day. She was so easy to work with and always responded to us promptly, making the whole process stress-free. The steady&sway team was friendly and professional throughout, helping to ensure our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for talented photographers who will deliver stunning results.

Hi, its Jessica, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Virginia. My clients are so special that they find themselves a friend for a lifetime, not just another wedding vendor. I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica is AMAZING, we hired her for our wedding and also did the engagement pictures with her. I am brazilian and since she is also I thought maybe my now husband would be a little uncomfortable taking the pictures but no way, not with Jessica, the way she makes everything seems so smooth and simple makes you think you are spending a good afternoon with a friend! And her work is definitely THE BEST! On my wedding day she managed to speak both languages with my family and my guests and took so much amazing pictures that now is hard to choose! Everyone loved her job and she sent the pictures so fast that I was really impressed! From now one my dates for events with pictures will depend on her agenda. I can’t wait for the next sessions of her capturing our love!
