Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Takoma Park, MD

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

Ivy & Quartz Photography 

5.0

Bethesda, MD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,750

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I (and our families) are pleased to give 5 stars to Nina for her professionalism, creativity, and wiliness to give us memories from our day that will last a lifetime. She was knowledgeable about the customs and traditions and reverence required to capture a Catholic mass; she knew how to be sure to capture the moments, without distracting from the importance of the Sacrament. I've been to many weddings where all you see is the photographer, but she was able to get the shot without disturbing the elements of the day. She had such patience and flexibility with our very large families, making sure we completed our shot-list and still had time to enjoy the smaller intimate (less posed) moments together. I was not a bride that had a particularly detailed vision of the shots I wanted, mostly we wanted her to capture the party, the joy, the enjoyment. I would (and have) recommended Nina to friends. She's easy to work with, gives good direction to those brides and grooms (like us) with less creative direction then others. She's very willing to give anything a try (she even got on the ground for us so we could take an upshot of us holding hands, one of my now-favorite pictures of the day). She was reasonable, flexible, and upfront about budget and costs. Nothing was a surprise as far as cost and she turned the photos around in a very timely manner. Absolutely recommend and I hope to be able to use her services for other events in our lives in the future. (Wedding June 10, 2023)

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Lindsay King Photography

Arlington, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

We are a passionate and creative husband and wife photography team who have a serious soft spot for documenting love stories. The big and little moments in life matter and we believe that everyone deserves to have photos that remind them of all the joy, tears, laughter, and adventure that surrounded them on the most momentous days in their life.

Awarded Best of Zola
"When you look back at these photos years from now, what do you want to feel?" was the question that Lindsay asked my then-fiancée and me when we first met to talk about wedding photography. We said that we wanted to be transported back to that moment, and remember what it felt like being there on that day. Looking at the photos now, this is EXACTLY what Lindsay and her husband/co-photographer Greg delivered. Lindsay's photos go so far beyond just documenting what happened - they capture the joy, the emotion, the tears, the excitement. Using some kind of camera magic, she captures the cozy mood lighting of our venue exactly as it felt, the sparkle of the lights and the dark wood of the bar, no overexposed flashes or dimness at all. Our formal photos are serene and gorgeous, our dancing photos are chaotic and full of light and energy. I don't know how she caught it all, because I hardly remember seeing her on the day, but she managed to capture even the little accidental unscripted moments that might have otherwise been lost to time. The dash from the car to the venue, through the rain umbrella in hand, is now one of my favorite memories AND favorite photos, all thanks to Lindsay. On top of all that, Lindsay and Greg are just lovely people. They immediately made us feel comfortable, and quickly got us past the inherent goofiness of posing for photos. They were responsive, communicative, so easy to work with, and made sure they understood our vision for the day so they could take photos that captured it. We absolutely could not be happier with our wedding photos and wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay King Photography.

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we LOVE our photos. She truly captured the emotions of the day and the essence of all the people we love the most. Any time i look at our photos, i find myself involuntarily smiling. She captured the classic posed photos AND the precious in-between moments where people are being their most authentic selves (the face my dad makes when he's really intently listening, the hand gestures my mom uses when she's explaining something and can't find the right words, the face my mother in law makes when she's cracking herself up, the face my father in law makes right before the tears fall, and so so many more). Not ONLY are her photos amazing, but she made us feel so relaxed on the day-of. Her style is totally unobtrusive, which is just what we needed. Darcy got such amazing photos of all our guests we put 4x6" prints in our thank you cards and people were SO appreciative. She's on fridges across America. Comments we've gotten in response to Darcy's photos: "WOW your photographer is phenomenal", "this is the best photo of us in existence", "you guys look so happy!", "I feel like the photographer really captured your personalities" If capturing joy is important to you, hire Darcy. My only regret is getting her for 7 hours instead of 9.

With a knack for authentic storytelling, she works to capture a combination of artful, composed imagery and joyful candids that exude the energy and preserve the emotions of your event. She believes deeply that both the aesthetics of your day (which are sure to be stunning) and the spirit of your celebration deserve equal attention and documentation.

My husband and I hired Annemarie as our wedding photographer and we couldn't have made a better choice! From the very first email, she was responsive, professional, and friendly. We met Annemarie in-person in October for our engagement shoot, and it was clear from the first interactions that we'd found someone great. She made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and the photographs she took were absolutely stunning (and made for beautiful holiday cards). Prior to our wedding, she made time to visit the venue and make sure she understood where photography was permitted. On the day of our wedding, Annemarie arrived early with her assistant. Even though the venue was behind schedule with set-up and I was somewhat stressed, Annemarie was calm and reassuring that everything would go fine. She took stunning photographs of all kinds of details (our invitations, the rings, the flowers etc.) and also managed to get photos of our families (including 2 children and 2 babies). We were absolutely thrilled with Annemarie's artistry and we would hire her again in a heartbeat. :-)

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

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

I am a Documentary Wedding Photographer who captures Candid and Natural moments! I like to blend right into your day and clients describe me as calm, cool and personable. I take a variety of photos but make sure I’m not noticed while I move around. I see my purpose as preserving moments. My favorite feedback is that I captured moments that the couple didn’t see. Most importantly, I’m here for you! That might mean directing your family and keeping everything under control. My goal is to put you at ease and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process.

Awarded Best of Zola
We picked Konrad because his candid shots were absolutely outstanding. Neither one of us really cared too much about formal portraits, so we thought he'd be perfect. Little did we know how skilled he is at turning even boring staged photos into really beautiful shots. He kept us relaxed, directed us well, and was super efficient. We barely noticed him throughout the event as he snuck around taking pictures and the shots did not disappoint. Our friends remarked that he was truly all over the place, doing the work of multiple people. If you want someone who will respect what you're looking for and produce works of art for a reasonable price, Konrad is the way to go.

Choosing Katelyn as our wedding photographer was undoubtedly one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding day! We had the pleasure of seeing her work firsthand at a friend's wedding, with who knows how many cameras strapped on! Seeing her attention to detail firsthand and the beautiful quality of our friends photos, she was first on our list for a consultation. From our first call, Katelyn embraced our vision with enthusiasm and professionalism. We knew we wanted a documentary-style photographer with the option of film photos (we loved that Katelyn includes these already) who could capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of our wedding with our lively group, and Katelyn delivered! Despite our initial nervousness about being in front of the camera, Katelyn made us feel incredibly comfortable. Having an engagement shoot beforehand was a great practice run, she has an incredible talent for putting people at ease, and this truly shines through in the photos. We have never felt so photogenic! Our album turned out better than we could have dreamed up. It is truly reflective of us and our day. Complete with details of my treasured Kirkland sweatpants on the way to our venue contrasted with my dress glam Katelyn’s commitment to us was truly exceptional as she had a family loss shortly before our wedding. It would have been more than understandable for her to need more time away or to find us a replacement. Despite this, Katelyn remained fully committed to capturing our day and we are so so grateful. Her dedication and professionalism during such a difficult time speaks volumes about her passion for her work and for her clients. Katelyn is a true artist and an amazing person. Her work exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our wedding team. The only question we have is how early is too early for a vow renewal so we can hire her again!

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close.

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.

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!

Growing up in rural Virginia my intro to photography came to me at 14 while breaking into abandoned houses with friends to take photos that can only be describe in retrospection as “experimental”. Fast forward a handful of years and I found myself going 'legit' and holding a BFA in photography, later finding yet more perspective and cutting my teeth shooting society events in NYC. Having now spent more years of my life taking photos than not, it’s safe to say that I’m all in.

Working with Cassidy was a fantastic experience. He listened to what we wanted, gave us ideas from his experience working at our venue and made us feel completely comfortable. Everyone told us when selecting a photographer to make sure you are comfortable with them since they are involved in some of the most intimate moments of your day - and while that was true - he managed to get so many great shots without intruding or in some cases even being noticed. He caught serious moments, funny private moments and of course all of the formal moments. We have recommended him to multiple friends of ours and will continue to do that moving forward. You cannot go wrong working with Cassidy!

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.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Can't recommend Sam enough. Not only is his work some of the best I've seen and is well known around the world, but he is also just super chill to work with. He lets videographers do their thing and is very easy going with the couples and vendors he works with.

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. I have always said that Lauren has a way of capturing people at their best!

Ask any of my past couples... I will definitely be on the dance floor at your reception! I pride myself on helping my clients feel comfortable in front of my lens. You would not believe how many times clients have told me they don't like taking photos or "aren't photogenic," and then end up loving their photos! I am based in the DC area, and central Texas.

Anna was recommended to me by one of my childhood friends and I could not have had a better photographer. I really felt like she wanted to know me and my personality before the wedding day so she could reflect us in her photography. She did an amazing job!! I was especially touched how she did research on our venue (Washington D.C. Temple) so she could appropriately cater to the building’s uniqueness and magnify how special it is to me and my husband. The pictures she took of it came out beautifully! I would recommend Anna Romani’s photography to anyone celebrating a great thing in their life. From her kindness to her master skill, she is everything you could need in a wedding photographer and more!

As a wedding photographer by passion & an aerospace engineer by day, I bring a unique perspective to my photography. I am incredibly detail-oriented, hardworking, & I truly believe everyone deserves quality photos to look back on of special moments in their life. My goal is to deliver luxury, editorial images that capture the true essence of your love story. I approach each wedding with a fresh perspective, knowing that every couple is unique & deserves to have their story told in a way that is true to them. So count on me to take charge when needed & when I'm not - to keep on authentically & artfully documenting your day.

Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with. I felt SO lucky when I came across her work on social media - which was genuinely more beautiful than photographers charging 2x or more. I probably inquired with 10 photographers beforehand, but the moment I found Jenn, knew we'd choose her for her beautiful work. We loved our engagement photos, and she gave us (stunning) sneak peek wedding photos the day after our wedding! From her "detail" shots, teaching us how to pose (thanks!), scoping out the best spots for beautiful shots, creating a wedding day photography timeline for us - she was so professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. Also as a side note, she is an engineer and I don't know how she is blessed in equal measure with both left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She also has some very cool options, like Super8 film, polaroids, etc. that we opted to add on - her work is timeless and beautiful and I can't recommend her highly enough. Jenn - thank you so much for capturing these moments for us to look back on!

I lived in Mexico for 7 years only to find out I was unhappy living there! In 2008, my mom, grandma, and I moved to Connecticut, and I began a whole new chapter in my life! I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and everything will eventually fall into place with just a little bit of hope and optimism!

Amanda is the best! She is professional, takes amazing photos and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took all the ‘inspo’ photos I wanted, made suggestions for more, and used her expertise to help make the photos even better.

I can't recommend Cicely and Jason enough. They were communicative, collaborative, and just genuinely great people. They were really open to trying out anything that we really wanted to do and brought plenty of experience and helpful ideas to the table from the start. Their ability to capture the tiny details and a much broader sweeping view of our day really was the sell for us. And they weren't afraid to really get into the middle of a rager and capture moments you'd have never known about otherwise. Photography is so embedded in capturing your day that having creative people you really enjoy working with is critical. Years later, Cicely and I still message each other to check in.

She made us feel at ease during our engagement photos by helping us choose the outfits that would work best with the setting and teaching us how to pose. On the day of our wedding, she was prompt and attentive. As a result of our productive planning meeting about a month before our wedding, she had a list of all the photos we wanted (most because of her great suggestions!) and we sailed right thru them. Bonus: she is a pro people-wrangler. She also knows the exact right spots for each kind of photos at District Winery which helped moved things along so much that we achieved our goal of not having to take any photos during cocktail hour so we could enjoy it too!

They have an artistic vision and are ready to bring it to life for their clients. I would highly recommend choosing Lucy and Janos for your big day!

Steve Broy Photography 

5.0

Centreville, VA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $300

Growing up with a passion for skateboarding provided me with a creative view of the world around me. I've been taking pictures professionally for about 8 years and I'm inspired by the music I listen to and those that I love being creative with. I have also photographed many different subjects, scenes, and moments! There's a picture around every corner.

Steve photographed our wedding, which was pretty small by most standards. He arrived on time, prepared, and he was very easy to work with both before and during the event. His photographs turned out great, and we can definitely say he gave us a good value for what we paid. We would gladly recommend him to any of our friends for their photography work. Thanks again Steve

Kate Grace Photography 

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,500

Hi! I'm Katie, an East Coast & Destination Wedding Photographer, based in Washington D.C. After taking a high-school photography class–it quickly became clear that I loved the art of photography. Soon after graduating, I was offered an internship position near Chicago that allowed me to continue to dive into the world of studio lighting, image editing, and commercial photography; continuing to hone on the technical skills that often get left behind when you have the digital screen to instantly see your work. A few years later, I photographed a friends wedding and it became crystal clear that this was exactly what I wanted to pursue.

Oh my goodness! Kate Grace is the best wedding photographer in the game. I am SO glad we snagged her to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire process from booking to engagement shoot to COVID-19 wedding planning - Kate was there for us each step of the way. On my wedding day I was barely stressed because I knew Kate would capture every moment perfectly. She took every shot (and then some!!!) on my shot list and delivered THE MOST BEAUTIFUL gallery. Kate even worked with our videographer and sent them pictures for our wedding video. Kate is INCREDIBLE. Hire her. You WILL NOT regret it. As long as we are in the DC area, Kate is our photographer.

Til Death Media 

5.0

Springfield, VA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,200

I am passionate about capturing each couples unique story and their one-of-a-kind love. We are a husband and wife team plus our best man! When Jeremiah and I got engaged and started planning our wedding, the search for a photographer & videographer was a grueling tasks. I kept saying, “If ONLY Jeremiah & En could capture our wedding,” but that was totally unfeasible be as one is the groom & the other the best man. Then the light bulb went off & Til Death Media was born!

I will forever recommend Till Death Media! Kira helped me out of a bind when my photographer backed out less than 2 weeks before my wedding. Even though TDM wasn't able to photograph my wedding on such short notice, Kira spent hours searching for and interviewing local photographers on our behalf, eventually finding someone who was both a perfect match and well within our budget. Kira helped us edit and finalize our itinerary, organize which photographs we wanted taken, and even helped us pinpoint exactly what kind of editing style we wanted done - all things that I should've had sorted out with my previous photographer, but I was unaware of due to poor communication. When she stepped in, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I don't think I could've been happier with our wedding or our photographer. :) I 100% recommend Kira and TDM!

Vicki Grafton Photography

Fairfax, VA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $10,000

I'm a film photographer based in Virginia, who travels the world capturing couples unique stories on film. I'm always ready to travel & continually inspired by my clients & the stunning locations I’m grateful to explore each year. When not working or traveling, you'll find me spending quality time with my husband & our rescued Australian shepherd mix named Bear. Obsessed with stonewashed linen, puppies & minimal design, my ideal evening is a relaxed alfresco dinner with friends at a farm table overflowing with wine bottles and lots of laughs.

Vicki is a truly gifted photographer. Her composition, lighting, and color tones are always immaculate. Her presence on a wedding day is professional, poised, and unobtrusive. Her eye for details and ensuring her subjects look their absolute best ensures every single image she delivers is worthy of framing in your home. I am absolutely thrilled at every chance we have to work together and highly, highly recommend her!

Anne Giebel Photography

Washington, DC
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

You can find me drinking coffee, lifting weights, or hanging with our cats on any given day. I love people and I love working with people. Photography and art have been part of my life for over a decade and working with you to create your vision is what brings me the most joy. Reach out to say hello, ask about AGP, and talk about your big day.

Anne documented our wedding day and we cannot say enough good things about her. Through the whole process, from engagement to the big day, she made us feel so comfortable, heard, seen, and supported. Her communication is spectacular and timely and the quality of the photos is an 11 out of 10. Not to mention that our wedding was less than a week ago and we already have an album of GORGEOUS teaser photos! We can't wait to see the rest from the big day because we know that she and her second shooter captured so many special moments during the event. Thanks to Anne for capturing us and our joy so completely. And, if you are looking for someone kind, caring, and talented - look no further! Anne's the one.
