Hi. I'm Teresa. While photography is a part-time job for me, documenting your stories doesn't ever get treated like it's not important. My full-time gig is teaching high school English and journalism at an all-boys school in Washington, DC. Journalism is my favorite subject to teach because it is as much about writing as it is about the art of observing the world, and I became a photographer because of my experiences in photojournalism.

From the moment we booked TCJ Design for our wedding photography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Teresa demonstrated clear, frequent communication and was a great listener throughout the entire process. Their work is simply beautiful, timeless, and captivating. For our engagement session, Teresa really delivered on our by the water/Maryland theme, capturing stunning shots that felt so true to us as a couple. On our wedding day, the TCJ Design team seamlessly documented every meaningful detail, delivering photos that are more beautiful than we could have imagined. We are so grateful to have these cherished memories to look back on for years to come.

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”

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
Nina did a fabulous job as the photographer for my and my husband’s wedding! From the beginning, she was very communicative and did a great job giving us advice on how to get the best possible photos. We wanted more candid shots of our wedding, and Nina delivered photos that were beautiful, natural, and artfully done. I actually received a remark from a guest, a former TV personality, that Nina’s understanding of how to get the best lighting was impeccable! In addition to being a warm and delightful person to work with, Nina has given us photos of our wedding we will be able to treasure for a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and hire her!

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

From the moment we met Cesario, we knew he would be our photographer. He immediately felt like a friend vs. another vendor. He instilled so much confidence in us leading up to our wedding day. He was very clear and efficient with communication. He let us ask for what we wanted while also guiding us toward other fun creative ideas. On the day of our wedding, he and Paul were amazing to work with. Great vibes, controlled time well and captured the true essence of our wedding. Finally, the pictures were STUNNING. My wife and I haven't stopped looking at them. I would 100% recommend Cesario to anyone looking to capture their most treasured memories and hope that we get to work with him again in the future.

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

Laura was our saving grace at our wedding in October! She made us feel comfortable and calm all whilst queuing the most stunning poses I never knew we were capable of! Early on in the booking process I told Laura that I hated getting my picture taken. That I was awkward and sure I would ruin my wedding photos. She quelled my fears and assured me that a lot of her clients felt the same beforehand. Moments before she showed up the day of, the wedding jitters were taking over and the giant moths in my stomach were having a field day. But as soon as I saw Laura, everything eased - she is MAGIC! And believe me when I say it is impossible for her to take a bad photo. I’ve never seen myself pictured so elegantly and beautifully. And not just ourselves, but our friends and family as well. Who knew we were such models? Lol it’s all thanks to Laura. We are in absolute awe of the whole gallery. Needless to say - book Laura Briglia immediately!
