  • Serves Smithsburg, MD

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Based in Fairfax County VA, work in the DMV Area -- DC, Virginia, Maryland. I have a passion for taking beautiful, natural, professional photos, and enjoy helping people look their best in front of the camera, capturing that perfect, special moment, and creating a memory that will last a lifetime.

Fariss is honestly the most easy going photographer I have dealt with. He makes the whole process so easy and natural even for those who are usually uncomfortable taking pictures. He fully respects the special moments and does a great job getting candid shots without getting in your way. At the same time he is super knowledgeable about helping you pose correctly afterwards. He captured some of the most unique shots I have seen and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We would recommend Farris to anyone looking to take pictures of the special moments in their lives

Philadelphia, PA
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Smithsburg, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Jess, we knew she was our photographer, but not in the way that people say retrospectively. We were so excited after our meeting that we could barely wait until we got home to sign and tell her (we called out of joy) that she was going to be a part of our big day. She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work, the insanely efficient communication, and to have spent the last year working with someone who is truly excited and passionate to make your experience perfect.

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway! I can’t say enough good things - my husband and I are just so impressed and glad we chose to work with LT2 Photography for our wedding.

So this is funny, when I was little, I was obsessed with the movie "The Wedding Planner." So much obsessed, I wanted to be a wedding planner someday. Jump into the future 20 years and my obsession with weddings has brought me to here! I love photographing weddings! From the gowns, the florals, the venue to the couple and the journey they are stepping into together! Weddings are a special day for not only the couple, but two families to come together to celebrate love and life together as one. And your photos should represent that life you are creating. Colorful, bold and full of energy. So let's plan, have fun and photograph your dang day!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I really appreciated Jenna's work for our wedding! Jenna had availability a month out when our photographer was last minute unavailable. My sister in law found her IG profile randomly and sent to us. Everything on her website was clear and her packages (at least in 2022!) were clearly laid out on her website so we knew what she offered. After inquiring we met through Zoom and had a complimentary engagement session to get to know each other. She also had such a fast turn around time for our engagement, wedding sneak peak, and wedding photos! I had so many people surprised with how fast our photos came back to us! I also LOVED that she came to our wedding wearing a unique embroidered blue top that matched the wedding colors and just thought it was creative and fun! Totally recommend her and appreciated all her work for us!

Cat was the photographer for our elopement and it was an amazing experience. One thing everyone said at different points in the day was how comfortable Cat made us feel during the photoshoot. It was an incredibly hot day in the woods, and Cat was able to make us all laugh and have a fun time even while we were melting. She photographed both the ceremony itself and helped us do a photoshoot after, and the pictures turned out absolutely incredible. They are so creative and professional, and we would not have been able to pick a better photographer for our special day.

My husband and I cannot stop looking them and cannot wait to share them with everyone we love. Not only did she artfully capture our personalities and love on this day but she also captured the love between our favorite humans on the dance floor that night.

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.

We wanted to shoot somewhere a bit untraditional, and needed someone with a detailed eye to capture the beauty of the venue while still allowing us to be the center of the show! Maggie communicated with us constantly and helped us both feel comfortable throughout the shoot. Her timeline for editing was reasonable and well worth every dollar. We feel so lucky to have been able to work with her to capture memories that will last us a lifetime.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Photography register moments for generations to come. It documents lives. It brings you back to the past. It reminds you of how you were feeling at the time those images were taken.

The immense joy and pleasure of knowing that I - as everyone else - have a story to tell!

I had the most amazing experience with Luxy Photography recently! From the moment I contacted them to inquire about their services, they were incredibly helpful and professional. The photographer, Tainah, was a true artist and put me at ease immediately. She took the time to understand my vision for the shoot and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.

We cannot say enough positive words about tillie and the work she did for our wedding!!! She was amazing!! From the very beginning of hiring her she was available and communicative and listened to all our needs and wants for our pictures and at the end they were perfect! She was even adaptable to parts of the wedding that were a surprise to our guests and we forgot to inform her that they were happing and she was able to capture those moments! She sent us a little preview of our pictures right away for us to enjoy as she worked on the others. I as the bride also had a slight issue with how my hair turned out and though most people wouldn’t have noticed, to me it was a huge deal and she was able to edit out the hair in the pictures to make it exactly how I wanted! The wedding website she set up was beautiful organized and easy to navigate for us and our friends and family. Would highly recommend using Tillie for any event you have!

Her approach is simple–take the time to get to know each & every couple to create breathtaking, personal images. She brings together a diverse background in both the visual & performing arts to craft your wedding story through fine art imagery that you will pass on for generations to come. In her free time, she is probably snuggling with her two amazing dogs, commuting back & forth between her home in Maryland and our Malvern studio, or whipping up something extravagant in the kitchen.

I truly had the dream team with Ashley, Michelle, and Ashley on my wedding day. Communication is a huge thing for me when it came to planning the wedding and they always responded in a timely manner and worked with my husbands crazy schedule. On our wedding day Ashley was with the ladies and I during getting ready, while Michelle had to handle the guys, I say handle because they’re a handful especially once my dad is thrown into the mix. (You know the sos button on your phone… yeah my dad bumped that and the state cops showed up…. Oops.) but Michelle did amazing with them. We had a first look and then did our family photos and they did a wonderful job getting the kids attention (3 kids under 2). During our ceremony I had no idea they were even there, they really do just blend in to the scene. During cocktail hour Ashley took some precious photos of us with our son that I know I’ll cherish forever. They even took us out for some nighttime portraits before the left for the night. I highly recommend working with Ashley and her team !

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

If you’re looking for the perfect photographer-stop right here. I’m not even sure where to begin to tell you how amazing Natasha was! We got married on a very cool and rainy day in November and Natasha was such a comfort to have with us. Never once did we feel awkward posing. She captured truly the most beautiful candid photos. The uncle tearing up the dance floor, couples enjoying an intimate moment slow dancing, your brother secretly wiping away tears...you name it. Looking back at our photos, I feel like I was a part of every single moment of the wedding. And that....is the best thing I could ever ask for.

It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill.

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.

Warm and Beautiful Photos by an Incredible Photographer UPDATE (6/2/21): Olga continues to be incredible and everything we could have ever dreamed of in a wedding photographer. She also took care of finding us a second photographer (Marcus), a videographer (Glenn), and a live stream assistant (Matt) - all of whom were wonderful, professional, kind, and talented. We were able to do first look/couple photos around the Library of Congress and Supreme Court with Olga, Marcus, and Glenn and all three made it a fun and easy-going experience that resulted in truly stunning photos. After the wedding (and the "engagement shoot") Olga sent us a "sneak peak" of the photos within just a few days! We are so grateful we found her and could not recommend her and her team enough!!! ORIGINAL (7/12/20): Olga is AMAZING. We hired her for our wedding several months after we got engaged and were not intending to do an engagement shoot (my fiance does not love pictures haha). But after COVID forced us to postpone our wedding by 11 months, we decided that an engagement-style photo shoot on our would-be wedding date would be a great way to make a sweet memory on a tough date. Olga was sweet, supportive, and flexible as we figured out details for a new date and added the extra photo session. She is down to earth and made both of us feel immediately at ease during the session. She was as excited as we were to get gorgeous photos at the Lincoln and then silly ones at GW (where we both graduated from). I have always believed that engagement/wedding photos should radiate warmth and happiness and Olga has blown us away with her ability to capture our love in photos in a way that can't help but make you smile.

I was born and raised in a quiet seaside town on the South Shore of Long Island. I grew up in a place where good, strong love grows with parents who have been together since they were 16 years old. They taught me that true love grows in the face of hardship and, as strong believers in their faith, that love is, indeed, patient and kind. And so as soon as I realized that wedding photography didn’t have to be posed and mechanical; that I could shoot weddings from a more organic and authentic lens; that I could document a story, not direct one, I was hooked!

The Lauren Louise Collective team has always been at the top of their game with professionalism and beautiful work. They are easy to work with, fun and it shows how much they truly love their job! Since meeting Lauren it has always been a team player attitude for anything and everything pertaining to couples and their day and it truly shows in the gorgeous imagery she captures.

At Chelsey Rae Evans Photography, we offer intimate elopements, wedding celebrations, and engagement sessions. My goal is to create an elevated experience using intentional artistry and an editorial style that allows you to feel your best self while finding joy in effortless moments. I'm very easy going, and you'll never be pressured to be anyone but yourself! If you cherish your wedding day photos and want moments that wow while making you feel your natural, beautiful self, then we're the right fit! Think of documentary photos that set the scene and tell a story in a fashion-forward way.

John and I got engaged in our hometown but decided to do a destination wedding. We found dozens of photographers but Chelsey's photos really stuck out to us because it was exactly what we wanted. We reached out and she got back to us the next day (We messaged her at like 11 at night). From there on, she personalized the entire experience for us, all the way from meeting for the first time, planning our style and what we wanted, down to the exact fine details of specific shots that we wanted (And many more that she recommended) . I had no idea how detailed photography can be! But when our pictures came back, I simply could not believe the level of attention she took. Chelsey is not just great at what she does, she's very friendly and is truly genuine in caring about the people she works with. Girl... if I can nominate you somewhere, let me know. I'll fill that form out immediately! :)

It is so nice to have you here! I am a Charlottesville Washington DC and Virginia Wedding Photographer who creates artful film-inspired imagery with a combination of timeless editorial and hybrid candid photography that recreates tangible memories of what matters most: you and your authentic love story. With a passion for wanderlust and most importantly my family, I know that life's most cherished moments are fleeting. It's an honor to create emotional love-story centered heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Paperboys is AWESOME. They did both our photography and videography, and we couldn't be more pleased! Not only did the photos and video reel turn out beautifully, but they are a joy to work with. What we especially appreciated: they got every shot without ever being a distraction or in the way; they happily accommodated our requests to allocate 1 of our hours to the rehearsal dinner; they captured beautiful images (and helped stage some great ones!); they are genuinely lovely people.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Hi! I'm Emily! Mom to 3 kids, two rats named Frodo and Sam and a bearded dragon. I like my couples like I like my pets - just slightly unconventional. Dress fluffer, timeline-keeper, family wrangler, prone to squealing over a perfect ray of sunshine- I'll dance with your grandma, cry during your vows, and make you laugh at inappropriate moments. You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

Emily was great to work with for our wedding. She met with us ahead of time to discuss what we were looking for, travelled to Baltimore for our wedding, and had great suggestions for locations/poses that felt (and looked) natural to us. Emily has a much more natural/candid style of photography than standard wedding photography. Edited photos came pretty quickly, despite it being peak wedding season. We love our photos and are still enjoying them years later!

We believe that life is best enjoyed with others, so drop us a line and let’s be friends! *Please contact us directly through our website.

I've grown up in the wedding industry, spending over 20 years learning the ins and outs. Victoria is the absolute most empathetic, kind, thoughtful person I've met in the wedding industry and quite possibly on this earth. From the beginning, she was helpful, sincere, and hysterical as we planned out our engagement shoot and wedding logistics. Whether it a package of homemade soap or inspiration emails, she was a more personalized and wonderful version of Pinterest. When it came to our wedding day, she was able to navigate my large, blended family, nail every shot IN THE RAIN, all the while telling corny jokes, and dancing the night away. I truly felt like I had an old friend with me throughout the entire experience. Her second shooter, Hunter, is her photography (and real life! ) soulmate. As a married couple, they work so incredibly well together and are able to capture the most beautiful moments. Hunter was amazing with the groomsmen, making everyone feel comfortable and natural. Plus, he has great taste in music! Victoria sent our entire wedding pictures, completely edited, in record time. She knows how to capture and highlight every moment genuinely. Finally, a few months after our wedding, my younger brother passed away. Victoria dug up some old photos of him and sent them our way. I've never met anyone as thoughtful as her, truly. This was the easiest and best decision of my wedding planning. Forever thankful for you, Victoria!

We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

Vanessa’s passion for everyone’s love story shines through from the moment you meet her. I’ve truly never met anyone that is as excited for someone else’s love and their love story. I believe this is what makes her so incredibly special and amazing at what she does. I wanted a warmer, boho vibe in our photos and we are absolutely obsessed with every moment, detail, and emotion captured during our special day. Vanessa’s professionalism and calming demeanor is also something that every wedding couple is lucky to have on their day. She used cues that make sense, wrangled our rowdy crowd with ease, and even had the littles ready for their red carpet debut in front of the camera.

On your wedding day you will catch me buzzing around to capture all the perfect angles, to fixing your hair, & if necessary getting on the dance floor to help the shyest of crowds boost some confidence! Whatever it takes to keep the day moving as flawless as you, I am here for it!

Working with Jen was the best experience and we feel so lucky to be a part of her absolute ART. I (bride) was struggling looking for a photographer and asked my cousin (bridesmaid), a photographer herself, for help. She got to work and when she sent me Jen’s website, she said, “All of the images are gorgeous.” I had an inkling we were on to something as I filled out Jen’s very thoughtful inquiry form. Her response had such genuine and positive energy, and the rest is history! Because we are based in Brooklyn, we considered passing on the included engagement session but, to use Jen’s words, she “respectfully insisted” on coming to Brooklyn. My groom was explicitly comfortable having his photo taken, but quickly warmed up to the idea. Jen collaborated so thoughtfully with us and we chose a few locations meaningful to us as well as some classic shots on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was probably one of my favorite “dates” ever and Jen was the perfect third wheel. We even asked her along to our weekly Drag Bingo ritual after. The photos themselves (no surprise!) were incredible. We loved them and so did everyone else! They were personal and beautiful and cool, and we had a blast. I frequently commented over the course of wedding planning that the one thing we weren’t worried about was photography. We even used engagement photos as decor at the wedding and on matchbox favors! Jen was so supportive and interactive with us, both formally (more thoughtful forms!) and informally (little check-ins and chats over text/DM). We experienced a few challenges with our wedding venue over the course of planning, but there was so much comfort in knowing that besides enjoying a day with our people, we would have fantastic pictures because of Jen! We did first look and some of our photos before the ceremony and Jen got us in the groove for sure. It was really grounding to have that time together and just be able to trust fully that Jen would capture and deliver our dream photographs. Jen is a total pro and helped keep us to the schedule, but also kept us relaxed and enjoying the time. We were honestly sad to say goodbye at the end of the night, but she has a standing invite to Brooklyn. She sent us a few pictures just hours after the reception and a full sneak peek in under a week. We are, of course, THRILLED with the photos. We will treasure these captured moments forever!! We look forward to enthusiastically recommending Jen at every opportunity. We will always be grateful to have worked with such a talented, dedicated, thoughtful photographer who is also just a really good time. I could go on and on, but TLDR: Book Jennifer Syl Photography yesterday. We love you, Jen!!

Morgan O'Neil Photography

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Smithsburg, MD

I am a Baltimore based wedding and engagement photographer, known for my vibrant wedding photos with an authentic, candid style. I work with couples who are laid back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying time with family and friends, not spending half the day posing for stiff, awkward photos.

As a videographer, I have worked with Morgan many times, and each time I find out she is the photographer for the day, I breathe a sigh of relief. Her work is excellent, and she does such a great job directing her couples to give them the best photographs. She communicates well and takes the time to make sure couples get everything they need. She is not only professional when it comes to her clients; she works seamlessly alongside all the vendors at the event. You will not go wrong with hiring her. She's amazing!

Hi I'm Maddy! I’m a Virginia native whose love of her camera took her on an adventure into entrepreneurship. I accidentally stumbled into wedding photography thanks to some family friends, and ended up leaving my career as a consultant to pursue my passion. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a perfectionist and a little bit Type A, but take pride in how that makes me into a great wedding photographer. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love the energy of a wedding day that keeps me on my toes. My attention to detail allows me to go above and beyond when it comes to helping you prepare and capturing your wedding day.

We absolutely loved working with Maddy! She was professional, talented, and made us feel so comfortable during our photoshoots. She truly nailed the sweet romance we were trying to achieve through our pictures. Our package also included an engagement session and the photos came out beautiful! We had an incredible selection to choose for our save the date and website photos. Maddy’s system is also so easy to use. She uploads all photos online and gives you the option to download into a Google Photos album so it makes sharing with friends and family incredibly simple. In the days leading up to our wedding, Maddy was organized and helpful, even prepared for the rainfall predicted for our wedding! The day turned out gorgeous and so did our pictures. We are so happy we chose Maddy to capture our big day and I know you will too!

From the beginning we knew Ashley was going to be an amazing photographer. Her collection of work is absolutely beautiful. She would reply to our questions quickly and with in-depth answers. She is super helpful, organized, and just an overall joyous presence, especially on the day of the wedding. She really took our vision for how we wanted our wedding to be captured and made it into pieces of art that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
