Villa Li Photography 

5.0

Centreville, VA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,590
  • Serves St. James, MD

I'm a visual enthusiast with a degree in Arts Management. My style is mostly photojournalistic, embracing natural and romantic elements. In each wedding, my aim is to craft something different and unique, capturing a set of storytelling moments that reflect the essence of the day. What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

Villa is simply amazing! Despite some last-minute changes with our venue, Villa remained flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. Her pricing is very reasonable considering the exceptional quality of her work. Not only did she capture many beautiful candid moments, but she also played a crucial role in organizing the set shots. We shared our vision for our wedding in a phone call with her in our first meeting, and she executed it flawlessly. I cannot recommend Villa enough, if you're looking to receive hundreds of stunning photos that make you want to print and frame each one of them!!!

Rachel Tanner Photography 

5.0

Forest Hill, MD
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves St. James, 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
From the first Zoom call we had with Rachel, we could tell she was our kind of person. She was very knowledgeable and had great advice leading up to the wedding. We also loved the engagement shoot we did with her, as it gave us the chance to get to know her a bit in person and get comfortable so that there was no awkwardness on the day-of. Rachel embodies the perfect balance between professionalism and personable. She’s goofy and funny yet fully in charge and assertive. Her personality meshed so well with ours and it really showed in the pictures. She captured the candid special moments beautifully and also gave great direction for the posed formals. She did an outstanding job wrangling my massive & hectic family! We were so happy with how the photos turned out - it’s been challenging to pick favorites to print because they’re all great!! I can’t say enough good things about Rachel (and her assistants)! If you’re on the fence about booking her or worried about the cost, I can say she’s 100% worth it!!

Barbora Jones photography LLC

Washington, DC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,950
  • Serves St. James, MD

I am a photographer based in Washington DC, focusing on weddings and portraits, with a specialization in creating joyful, romantic, and timeless images. It would be a great privilege for me to document significant moments in your life through photography. I strongly believe that each unique event should be commemorated with affectionate enthusiasm and attention.

Awarded Best of Zola
As you’ll come to see with vendors, not all of them are very responsive, Barbora was always responsive no matter what time I texted her and had a question to ask her prior to the wedding. She’s punctual (something I care a lot about), she’s very organized (had a timeline and stuck to it) she is also very reliable so that made me comfortable. On the wedding day, she was a delight to be around. She worked so so hard. I literally got to a point where I had to remind her to go have her meal. She took what I thought were beautiful pictures. I wanted spontaneous and organic pictures and she captured just that. I am very awkward in front of the camera (and so is my husband), she helped direct us and made us comfortable. I also wanted pictures in front of the DC monuments, as you can imagine they’re crazy busy on the weekend but she managed to direct us along with the rest of our group and took some of the most beautiful photos (I thought). What I valued the most about Barbora is that it felt like she genuinely cared. It wasn’t a job that she had to go to, she really enjoyed what she was doing.

We are all here for you. All your family, your friends and I (yes, me too!) are here to honor you on your wedding day! As excited as I am to get to the dancefloor with you guys, I know a lot of planning goes into making your day special. As your photographer, I’ve been to a few weddings and am just a call or text away from any insight you might want. I approach every wedding with the same mentality, how can I tell the story of today in the most real way possible? I’ve found the best way to do that is to just be me. I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabe did a terrific job capturing our wedding day. He is super talented and we feel so fortunate to have had him photograph our wedding. Our details changed several times with COVID and Gabe was always one step ahead, making sure he could accommodate whatever changes were made. On our wedding day Gabe went above and beyond, working behind the scenes to cultivate pictures of such treasured moments. Most of our photos were candid, which was something that was important to us and Gabe also highlights. My husband and I really valued his authenticity and communication skills. We feel like the pictures he captured truly are us and not a posed image of who we want to be pictured as. 10/10 would recommend!

Philadelphia, PA
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves St. James, 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.

Hey there! My name is Brandi Lester and I'm the owner and photographer of, "Oh Snap Photography" and I'm located in York Pa. After becoming a stay at home mom in 2015 and running an in-home daycare for nearly six years, I decided to start OSP in 2022 with the intent of creating a hobby for myself.

The final photographs were nothing short of stunning. Each image perfectly showcased the love and connection between me and my child.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

This automatically requires that we talk to our clients about what is important to them, and that we listen and deliver. “Photography is not just a way to document the world around you, but it can open the door to be an Artist and have an outlet for the creative process.” Relationship: I want to get to know you and I target my images to your desires.

Working with Mr. Formica and his photographer was an amazing experience. They were very professional but worked very well together and had fun with what they do. It really shows they love their job. Everything was clearly explained during the process and there were no hidden fees. My pictures turned out AMAZING. They did a stellar job of capturing one of my favorite days. The edits were also done in a timely fashion. I can’t recommend this company enough.

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). 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. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

I was fortunate enough to be surprised, on what would have been our wedding date (COVID...) this past September, 2020 by my fiancé & best friend. My surprise was an epic "however long you want/need" photoshoot with Maggie here in Washington DC. Maggie picked the perfect spot to go with my minimalist and greenery aesthetic preferences (without having ever met me btw..), all while making it super fun and relaxed. Maggie's communication was great, provided great recommendations on how to pose or engage with others in the shots and made us all feel beautiful! She had our photos to us within a few days, the editing was immaculate and I still use them to this day!

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

Jason is professional, friendly, and his outgoing personality makes the shoot so comfortable and enjoyable. During our wedding, he also went above and beyond by making sure to take care of us. He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot. So grateful for his expertise and we totally recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

"Capturing Today for the Sake of Tomorrow"...that's our motto here at Love, Lomax! Karisa's passion for capturing couples on the most important day of their lives stems from her past career. Having previously worked as a registered nurse, she realized how valuable preserved memories (AKA photos!) are as patient after patient reminisced often with her before finishing up with "man, I wish I had picture to show you." The cake will be eaten, the flowers will wilt, but your photos are forever. Love, Lomax is here to capture every breathtaking moment for you to smile back on forever, and rest assured that each work of art is signed with love...

Karisa was such a joy to work with! We were nervous to work with someone we didn't know, but Karisa made us feel so comfortable right away. We loved that she had a plan for poses and specific photos AND that she had lots of in-the-moment inspiration for other things that would look good. We ended up with a huge variety of photos to choose our favorites from, not the same thing over and over.

I take my time to get to know my clients and their photo goals prior to any session. Whether you need photos to welcome a new season of life, showcase your business, or just a confidence boost - let’s chat and see if we’re a fit :)

We recently had the pleasure of working with Tillie for our engagement photoshoot, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Tillie was incredibly responsive and offered a wealth of fantastic suggestions for locations in downtown Pittsburgh. She attentively reviewed my Pinterest board and seamlessly incorporated our ideas, adding her unique artistic touch. On the day of our shoot, Tillie transformed what we expected to be an awkward experience (as my fiancé and I are both camera shy) into an effortless and enjoyable session. She skillfully eased our nerves, guided us into natural poses, and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. After the shoot, Tillie promptly provided us with sample photos, and we were blown away by the results. The images were simply stunning, with an editing style that was both classy and timeless—exactly what we had envisioned for our engagement photos. Thanks to Tillie our laughter, smiles, and genuine enjoyment during the shoot truly shone through in the final pictures. I wholeheartedly recommend Tillie to anyone seeking a photographer in the Pittsburgh area. Her professionalism, creativity, and ability to make her clients feel at ease are unparalleled. Thank you, Tillie, for capturing such beautiful memories for us! - Sydney & Tyler

Ashley is an intensely driven, detail-oriented fan of excellent food and exhilarating romance & happens to be a passionate editorial wedding photographer. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were searching for a photographer who could capture our wedding as it really was, from the intimate moments to the wild dance floor, and Natasha's documentary-style fit our needs exactly! She listened carefully to what we wanted - minimal posed pictures, non-traditional "first look", lots of candids, etc - and she more than delivered. We had 130 guest count and Natasha covered basically every inch of our wedding day, no need or want for a second shooter. She was everywhere and so stealthy that we didn't realize she was so close to us the whole night until we got our pictures back. Our ceremony was outside and dinner/dancing were inside, and regardless of the lighting, the pictures turned out perfectly, she was even able to capture non-blurry pictures of guests jamming on a packed dance floor! She was a pleasure to work with, the instructions of her process were easy to follow from start to finish, and had a lot of examples to look through which gave us a good idea of what we were getting. We especially appreciated that she sent us a few pictures the morning after our wedding as a sneak peek, very nice touch. She's genuinely kind and calm which helped us remain present during our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed by the quality and we are too. We're thrilled we picked Natasha and highly recommend her!

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!

Having a good photographer was one of my priorities for my wedding. I knew the day was going to be a whirlwind and I wanted to be able to look back and at least have one photo where my eyes weren’t closed or something. Lauren absolutely delivered — I don’t think we’ve ever looked as good in pictures and I know I probably won’t again!! Lauren also recommended Elizabeth for our day-of coordinator and I don’t know what we would have done without her — I definitely would have lost my mind, of that I’m sure. First, I can’t overstate the importance of finding a photographer with whom you have a good rapport — Lauren has this charisma where you instantly feel at ease and like you’ve known her your whole life. It frankly made me less nervous and I think that translates really well in the photos. She’s also a master of making you look the best in posed photos - giving little positioning directions that you look elegant without looking stiff. Every time I look at the pictures I’ll notice another candid moment that Lauren managed to capture or simply marvel at how she somehow can translate emotion in a still picture — I find myself smiling and definitely not crying (jk definitely crying) because you can FEEL what we were feeling in these photos. Second, get you a planner who is superhuman. Elizabeth took over six weeks (!) before the wedding and it was like a literal weight was lifted from my shoulders. At our first meeting she went through her checklist (and mine bc of course I had my own) and said “I’ll take care of it” to literally everything... and then...did?? I was fully prepared to have to follow up with vendors and micromanage but I basically didn’t have to do anything. It was magical. Elizabeth and her team did so much work and went above and beyond in literally every way to ensure we had a perfect day. Anyway, if you’re struggling with choosing a photographer because there are 72525 million to choose from, and you like the style of Lauren’s photos, go for it ASAP. Lauren is incredible and I feel so lucky that we were able to work with her. And if you need a day-of coordinator (or a full blown wedding planner!) pick Elizabeth - she has the eye for design and the capability to pull it off and pull it off well!

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!

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.

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

Fredericksburg, VA

  • Serves St. James, MD

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.

Hiring Nate with the Paperboys team might have been the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I are (very picky) creatives by nature and trade so we knew that we wanted to be very intentional about our choice of photographer for our special day. Our venue was a historic hotel that requires you to work with one of their select partners, something we initially were a little hesitant about due to its inherent limitations. Most partners listed had very technically beautiful photos but nothing that excited us creatively. Until we saw their most recent partner addition: Paperboys. We loved the playfulness, talent, and imagination that was deeply valued with the team and quickly connected with our photographer Nate both creatively and socially. It was apparent that he truly loved his craft and was easy to communicate our vision with, always making sure to ask helpful questions and take the time to study our provided resource materials. Without prompting or extra charge, he also opted to bring his own film camera to snap some artsy film shots on the actual day, an above and beyond move that shows how much he genuinely just loves what he does. The finished photos absolutely exceeded expectations. His signature style we loved shone through while also managing to capture the exact essence of what we were hoping for stylistically. And as someone who specifically struggles with body confidence and anxiety, he was able to make me feel safe by providing a calm presence and plenty of posing guidance. This allowed me to truly just exist and enjoy the day, which is something I genuinely wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to manage, and therefore the most wonderful gift in and of itself. TLDR: Just hire Paperboys already and thank me later! You’re welcome.

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.

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!

  • Serves St. James, MD

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

William with Fourth photography was amazing and was able to come through last minute for us. He delivered quickly and with quality.

As most hopeless romantics do, I love love. I love the small, quiet moments as much as the grand gestures. It is a unique honor to be the one to document those details on a wedding day. I believe deeply that love is as close as we’ll ever get to magic.

Jennifer was very professional and knowledgeable in her field. She is a pleasure to work with!

East Petersburg, PA
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves St. James, MD

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 St. James, 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!

Hi! I'm Ashley, a traveling wedding photographer based in the DMV area.

My goal is to craft a visual narrative that reflects your personalities, your love, and the beauty of your day.

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.
