Hi, Im Dana, a photography studio owner and wedding photographer for 15 years in Berlin, MD. I love working with couples and capturing their special days as they happen. I am told often I have a calming presence and it's true, I do work well under pressure. My style blends documentary photography with expert posing when needed and I especially love working with couples who may feel awkward having their photos taken as I aim to make it a fun and enjoyable experience. I aim for timeless, emotionally rich true to color images for weddings I photograph.

I cannot recommend Dana Marie Photography enough! I found Dana Marie Photography on Google a few years ago and I’ve been going to her ever since. Dana was also my wedding photographer in 2023. She's able to capture relationships and moments so well. I always get excited for my sessions with her and cannot wait to see the final product. Book Dana Marie Photography, you will not regret it.

I am a wedding photographer based in Providence, Rhode Island. My love for photography began over a decade ago and has been an integral part of my creative journey ever since. With a solid foundation in fashion photography, I bring a unique perspective to capturing weddings. Five years ago, I shot my first wedding, and it was an unforgettable experience. Being part of such a special day and bringing joy to my couples is incredibly important to me. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and significant moments of your wedding day, ensuring that each photograph tells the unique story of your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza Lavine Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication throughout the process was prompt, clear and friendly, putting us at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work was exceptional - the price was worth every penny, as we felt we received complete value for the results. Liza and her team made us feel very comfortable, even for someone like myself who is not usually at ease in front of the camera. The engagement shoot they did with us beforehand made the day of the wedding that much better, as we were already accustomed to their style and approach. Liza works exceptionally well with people who are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, and she has an incredible eye for detail that really shines through in the final photos. We could not be happier with our decision to hire Liza Lavine Photography for our special day.

Rachel was AMAZING to work with. As a more "feminine-presenting" WLW couple, we were very intentional of finding a photographer who could pose us well together in a romantic style. Rachel went the distance! She was so thoughtful and intentional with our time together and went above and beyond to create and capture beautiful moments. Rachel also collaborated so well with our videographer so that the both of them could capture so many moments together throughout the day. We are beyond happy that we went with her for our photography and now have these beautiful memories to share!

Emily was incredible to work with! She edited our wedding photos beautifully and also did an amazing job with our engagement shoot. Her eye for detail and editing style truly brought the moments to life. Leading up to the wedding, she was always there answering questions, calming nerves, and helping us stay organized. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was on track. Kayla and Lexi were our photographers too and Cassandra helped coordinate everything. They were total lifesavers. They kept everything moving smoothly, helped with timing, coordinated with the videographer, and even stepped in with the little things or keeping us calm during the chaos. I honestly don’t know how we would’ve gotten through the day without them. They were so professional, kind, and easy to be around, which made the whole experience even more special. The entire process felt seamless and stress-free, and we felt so taken care of from start to finish. On top of all that, Emily’s pricing was extremely reasonable for the level of quality, care, and service she provides. I truly couldn’t recommend Emily and her amazing team enough!

Virginia wedding photographer with a serious obsession with Netflix, true crime podcasts and YA fantasy novels. Telling the stories of two best friends in love with laughter, joy, and some really awesome dance parties.

My business was in need of professional headshots and Sara did an amazing job! Her pricing is fair, she communicates in a timely manner, and she has a nice studio perfect for the photos I wanted. Not only did she take individual headshots, but she also took group shots of my team. Despite some of my employees being camera shy, Sara knew just how to get them out of their shell and direct them into taking the photos. I am very impressed by how Sara conducts her business and recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer!

Hi, I am Ta'Tra. Most call me Tay, I perform all my own stunts, I believe in the magic of creation and I absolutely love my job! I'm a quiet force on your biggest days capturing and enhancing moments as they unfold. I specialize in portraits, lifestyle photography, and weddings!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tay is an absolutely phenomenal photographer, and I feel so blessed and honored that we chose her to capture our wedding. From our very first Zoom call, Tay radiated warmth and approachability. She not only listened but genuinely understood my vision and experience—often more than I did, which made me feel so at ease. She became a safe space in the whirlwind of wedding planning, and that sense of trust and comfort was invaluable as we prepared to capture the most important moments of our lives. I was very particular about the photographic style I wanted for our wedding. It was important to me that the images felt natural—like anyone looking at them could feel as though they were right there with us. I also wanted crisp, high-quality photos, and Tay delivered all of that and more. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning. On the wedding day, Tay and her team were incredible. Tay was like a shadow in the best way possible—always present but never intrusive. There were times I’d think, “Where is she?” only to realize later that she was exactly where she needed to be, capturing every moment flawlessly. At other times, it felt like she and her team were right in the mix, blending in so seamlessly with our family and friends. They made it so easy for Jeff and me to stay in the moment and be fully present throughout the day. The experience and expertise Tay brought to the table were worth every penny. I’m so grateful my sister recommended her to us, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any bride who wants to look back on her wedding day and feel nothing but magic. One thing I do wish we had done—and something I highly recommend to any future bride and groom—is taking the engagement photo shoot. We booked Tay about five or six months before our wedding but had already done an engagement shoot with a friend, so we kept putting it off until it never happened. Looking back, I realize how valuable that experience would’ve been. It would’ve helped us prepare better for the family photo sessions and be more conscious of certain poses, like during our first kiss. While our photos are still breathtaking, I believe the engagement shoot would’ve given us that extra edge of confidence and familiarity, which is one of its biggest benefits.
