I'm a laid back, upbeat and silly (some might say incredibly funny, but whatever) person with a penchant for making everyone feel like an old friend. I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

“If you are looking for a fun and talented photographer, then Rachel is a great choice! Rachel and I met the day of working a wedding together, where she was the photographer and my husband and I were the videographers. We all hit it off right away and captured the entire wedding day as a team, working together seamlessly even though we had just met. Why is this important for couples? Well, when your vendors work well together, you benefit! We were all looking out for each other throughout the day, helping to ensure that the photos and video were the best they could be for our couple. I would imagine that Rachel brings this same element of teamwork to every wedding she shoots. The pictures from the wedding day were awesome and Rachel was a delight to work with - hopefully we will be capturing many more weddings together!”

Serves Shady Side, MD

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

“From the very first wedding that Jess and I worked together, I knew I had found "the one." Photographing alongside other artists typically comes with some growing pains, however working with Jess was effortless from the beginning. She has a talent, creative eye, and sensitivity that is unparalleled. Her ability to create beautiful images while gracefully navigating complex dynamics and stressful moments on a wedding day makes her a magician in my eyes. I continue to learn something from her every time we're together. Highly recommend.”

She is truly a professional with a bubbly, upbeat attitude and she possesses the rare ability to make you feel like the most important person in the world when she speaks to you. Not only did she remember our wedding day details, but also she made an attempt (successfully) to remember all the names of our family members and friends. My husband and I were also blown away by her amazing talent of being in five places at once on our wedding day. Mikkel captured absolutely gorgeous photos that look bright and natural--exactly what we wanted! It is impossible to pick a handful of favorites from her gallery because they are all gorgeous. We cannot thank her enough for her positivity, professionalism, and eye for what we wanted to remember. You have found your photographer here- look no further :)”

You will always be treated like a friend and a client, meaning I will be your partner throughout your entire wedding experience.

I'd love to hear more about you, your partner, and your vision, so feel free to get in touch!

“Words truly cannot capture how much we love Madeleine. From our very first interaction, it was clear we had found someone special to document our day. Madeleine's talent and passion shone through every moment we spent with her, and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She expertly corralled our enormous family, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time, all while keeping us on schedule. In the midst of the whirlwind, she made us feel so beautiful and comfortable, even as we were being pulled in various directions. Her ability to blend professionalism with a warm, friendly demeanor kept us laughing throughout the day, easing any feelings of being overwhelmed. The photos she captured are pure magic. Each image tells a story, beautifully preserving the joy and love of our wedding day. Madeleine’s photos exude the exact emotions we felt throughout our day and I know we will cherish them forever. One of the hardest parts of the wedding being over is the realization that we won’t get to see Madeleine again. It feels like we gained a true friend throughout this process, and we now know exactly who to call to capture all of life's big events in the future. Thank you, Madeleine, for your incredible work and for making our day unforgettable! We love you so much!”

As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

“I would recommend NRBeauty Co. to any bride to be. Nina is incredibly attentive and communicative in addition to being transparent about her pricing. Andrea and Andejla were my glam team, and I absolutely loved their work, as did the rest of my bridal party. The makeup and hair lasted for at least 12 hours (likely more). NRBeauty Co. was by far the most professional team I communicated with. I appreciated the portal Nina managed which included all communications, invoices, and glam guides. My bridal party also appreciated the Google form they submitted in advance of the day to share their inspo & desired looks! Nina also confirmed when the glam team was en route the day of the wedding, which was highly appreciated given how stressful the morning-of can be. To top it all off, they ran on time / ahead of schedule the day of the wedding!”

Owned by certified wedding planner Renee Coshin Coolbaugh, the company’s organizational skills are perfect for newly engaged couples or couples who have been planning for some time. Crafting memorable celebrations, RCC Weddings & Events strives to exceed your wedding day expectations!

“Renee is THE wedding planner - look no further!! From the jump, she took us under her wing and answered any and all questions we had, was extremely attentive, and made us feel comfortable and prepared. Having planned too many weddings to count, she really knows the industry and all the ins and outs of planning a wedding. She met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding, and always came prepared with outlines, itineraries, and details that we would have never thought of! She also is the sweetest and so easy to get along with. Truly felt like we had known her for years. With regards to communication, she was extremely responsive, and always kept us in the loop. As we got closer to the wedding, and things inevitably became more hectic, vendors would email us questions and before I could even think of a response, Renee had already replied and had the situation handled. I can’t tell you the amount of ease and stress relief Renee brought us. The weekend of the wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her team was quick and efficient and got things done. Our ceremony and reception set up was done exactly the way we had described and even exceeded expectations when we told her to use her creative liberties! I am the type to stress about details and worry about things running smoothly, but on our wedding day, I didn’t think twice about anything but enjoying the day. We knew Renee had it handled. If I thought of something last minute to bring up to Renee she would immediately say with ease, “we have it handled, don’t worry about a thing!!” I can’t emphasize how much that meant to us. My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding would be to book a wedding planner and to get RENEE!!!! We will forever look back on our wedding knowing we, and everyone at our wedding, fully enjoyed every second and were not swept up in day-of tasks and duties. No one was stressed or worried about getting something done. People got to relax, party, and just enjoy themselves, because Renee had it handled.”

Bliss Photos is a Pennsylvania based Wedding Photographer servicing weddings in PA, MD, DC, NYC, and beyond! Bliss Photos is an inclusive wedding photographer that creates romantic & timeless photos with a journalistic approach. As a wedding photographer for 10+ years, my favorite photo to capture is when a couple is completely in their own world and not even aware of the camera. I strive for that photo EVERY time. Those photos are once in a lifetime photos and that's exactly what I'm all about - capturing the real you in that special moment. That is a gift that you will cherish for a lifetime and lifetimes after that.

“Melissa was such a pleasure to work with! She is friendly, helpful and has a vision. She took the most beautiful elopement photos for us and just photographed our bigger wedding. She is great at getting candid and more artsy shots while still getting the classic portraits you want from a wedding. Could not recommend her enough!”

I have been planning weddings and events for 15 years. After college, I worked as a meeting planner for several years, while also earning my International Wedding Planning Professional certification (IWPP). My love of special events is what convinced me to start my own business. I love working with clients to create their perfect vision. My goal is to take away the stress of the day so that my clients are able to enjoy themselves. I am able to help by suggesting venues and vendors, site visits and contracting, communicating and working with vendors, on-site coordination, setup, and post-event cleanup and follow-up.

“Diane was easily the best decision I made for my wedding. From the very beginning she had lots of helpful planning documents, answered every question I had, gave us ideas when we couldn't figure out how or when we wanted something to happen for our special day, stayed over time on our planning / check in calls to make sure we felt that we covered everything, and did all of this with a smile and supportive, kind attitude. You're going to spend a lot of time with your wedding planner / coordinator, so it's important that they're a good person and you like them! Well Diane is a gem of a human being, and I really do feel like I made a forever friend in her. Throughout the planning process and on the day, there were times when I just needed emotional support, and she was there for me. Her communication is prompt, consistent, and thorough. She got back to me on every email in a timely manner with all the answers I needed. I didn't realize at the time but strong communication was probably the MOST important aspect that made working with vendors 1000x better, and Diane excelled at it. Additionally, in the lead up to my wedding day and on the day itself, Diane was on top of EVERY detail. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was PERFECT - just as I always dreamed it would be. From helping me iron my wedding dress while my bridesmaids and I were getting our makeup done to overseeing every vendor arrival and setup to making sure transitions from each part of the day were smooth - she did it all. No detail was too small for her, and because she's a total professional, she thought of everything! I cannot say enough good things about Diane, her abilities as a planner, and her warmth as a person. She will be the best decision that you make for your wedding, too.”

When I’m not photographing weddings, I am a rock climber, scuba diver, glass blower (#breablowsglass on instagram), ukulele, guitar, and guitarlele player, world traveler, and cat mom to Sherlock (sherlocknessmonster on instagram). During the winter, I teach a video class at the Sheffield Institute of the Recording Arts and I love having a positive impact on my students. Everything I love to do challenges me personally and makes me a stronger person. I feel the most alive when I feel connected to this beautiful planet and the people on it.

“Brea and her team are absolute geniuses at what they do! Brea made us feel so comfortable during our most intimate photo shoots (engagement and first look), and was extremely efficient getting all of our family and friend photos together. The candids are the best part. Brea and her team have a way of capturing moments like no other wedding photographer I've ever seen. We are aboslultely in love with our wedding photos--and the best part--we received the full album less than a month after the wedding! Brea is extremely kind, professional, creative, and very good at what she does. We are so pleased to have had the chance to work with Brea!”

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

“I can't gush over Grace enough. After postponing our wedding twice due to Covid, we abandoned our original plans of having a huge wedding at home in Kentucky and decided to have a small ceremony at the beach in Florida. After finding Grace through hashtags on Instagram, we DMed a bit and setup a call. After talking on the phone, I was sold! Grace was my go to girl for all things Florida. She had the BEST recommendations for other vendors and was ALWAYS just a text away if I had any questions or simply needed someone to share wedding plans with. Even though we didn't actually meet in person until the day of the ceremony, it felt as if we had been lifelong friends. She PERFECTLY captured our ceremony and I can't wait to plan another shoot with her when we visit again!!”

“Working with Tia feels like you're working with your best friend. She has such a calming presence and really embraces the experience you are looking for on your big day. Ben and I knew we wanted to be very present at our wedding and wanted to limit how much time we spent away from our friends and family. We were drawn to Tia's documentary photography and post editing style and after having a phone call with her we knew she was the perfect match! She is a photographer who will go above and beyond every step of the way. She was super responsive leading up to the wedding and took on coordinating with our planners and videographer. She answered every text and email inquiry we had quickly and I cannot express how thrilled we are with the turn out! I was shocked looking through the images at how well they capture exactly how I remember each moment, colors, hues, and all! She really captured the essence of our theme and venue and I'm so beyond grateful our path led us to her. We will cherish these photos forever and look forward to working with her again in future life milestones.”
