Fourth Photography, LLC was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. From the start, the photographer was incredibly helpful, friendly, and punctual in all of our communications. On the day of our engagement photos, it was very windy and cold, but the photographer remained professional throughout and made sure to get all the special moments, even going the extra mile to spot a great location we hadn't noticed and encouraging us to stay for some extra photos. The final photos were absolutely beautiful and captured all the joy and details of our special day. We're so grateful for their attentive service and the wonderful, high-quality work they provided.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

Atalie Day Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our first contact, Atalie's communication style was professional yet personal, and she was always easily accessible to answer any questions we had. Her work is truly professional, beautiful, and feels like artwork - Atalie captured every special moment of our day, and her pictures will bring our perfect day back to life every time we look at them. I can't recommend Atalie enough - she is so easy to smile at and work with, and she went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was captured beautifully.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

Grace was an absolute gem of a human on the day of my wedding and leading up to it. I can't get over how stunning the photos are just from the sneak peek gallery. She has such an eye for unique shots and is amazing at directing you as well as your overly-stimulated new husband. We coordinated a ton of surprise aspects and were able to pull them off with Grace's help. She also ended up fixing boutonnieres, ensuring my hair looked amazing before each shot, and worked so well with our videographer, planner and all other vendors. I can't wait to see the full gallery and can't recommend her enough!

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

My fiancé and I have worked with Yelitza twice and both experiences have been fantastic! She has made us both feel extremely comfortable both times and had great communication with us both times. During our first session she photographed us with our 6-month-old puppy who is very energetic she was very patient with him and was able to get great group shots of all of us. Our latest photography session was a rooftop city session and the photos came out absolutely amazing again! I would highly recommend Yelitza!

I’m Heather, an Annapolis wedding photographer serving Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. My style is candid and documentary, focused on real moments, big feelings, and genuine connection. Less stiff posing, more movement, laughter, and personality. I work especially well with couples who think they’re awkward in photos—guiding when needed, then stepping back so you can be fully present. I’m also an approved vendor at the United States Naval Academy and experienced with the unique logistics of USNA weddings. If you want wedding photos that feel emotional, natural, and unapologetically real, you’re in the right place.

Heather was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the start, she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We’re not natural in front of the camera, but she guided us in such a fun, relaxed way that everything felt effortless and authentic. On our wedding day, she was organized and brought the best energy. She’s not only incredibly talented, but also genuinely so fun to be around — which made a huge difference. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. She captured the joy and emotion of the day perfectly. Our family also could not stop talking about how great the photos turned out. We’re so grateful for Heather and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Dagment Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

Passion is what drives me in photography and real people and real moments evoke that passion. I yearn to connect with people I work with on a personal level. My goal is to make everyone I work with as comfortable as possible. The less of me you see the better! I want the photo to be derived from real, true emotion. So emitting myself as much as possible helps keep the genuine spirit of you and the moment front and center. The more you can simply enjoy your surroundings, free of worry about the fact that your photo is being taken, the better the imagery will be. If you have an interest in working together I would love to hear from you.

Tawney from Dagment Photography was truly the best photographer we could have ever booked. She is fun, kind, calming, and exactly what you want in a photographer on such an emotional, fast-moving day. She was always there when we needed her, but never in our faces. Our guests felt comfortable, not posed or interrupted, which made a huge difference. I kept joking that she is basically a nature photographer in human form. She somehow managed to quietly observe everything and capture the most incredible candid moments. The photos from both our engagement session and our wedding are stunning. Beautiful, emotional, and professional without feeling stiff or overproduced. Every single image feels intentional and alive. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day exactly as it happened, not a staged version of it. I will absolutely be using Tawney for any future milestone or life moment where I want photos that are gorgeous, candid, and truly well done. I genuinely cannot praise her enough and would recommend her without hesitation.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

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.

From the moment we first spoke, they were responsive, kind, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire wedding planning process. We were willing to spend a bit more on our photos because they were so important to us, and the investment was 100% worth it. Kelsey and Sam captured every special moment from our wedding day - if we look at all the photos together, it would play out our entire day perfectly. They were able to capture our emotions in each moment, and when we look back at these photos, it brings us right back to each cherished moment. These are truly the best photos, and we will treasure them forever. I couldn't imagine choosing another photographer for our engagement or wedding day. Everyone has complimented us on how beautiful and moody our photos are, which is one of the many reasons we love them so much!

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.

It was great to work with Cesar. From the moment we had our introductory call with him, we were drawn in by his authenticity, humor and laid back energy. We knew he was a good fit for a day that we wanted to keep positive, low-stress, and focused. When it came time for him to give instructions for couple and family shoots, he was confident and cool. In fact, many of our guests went out of their way to share how impressed they were with Cesar. He did a great job capturing our daytime wedding despite the quick change from cloudy and rainy to a bright springtime sun. He struck the perfect balance of positioning himself well to get great shots without being conspicuous or obtrusive. I plan to hire Cesar for other events in the future and recommend that my friends do the same.

As an artist, so much of my wedding was DIY and done by friends and family. However, this also means that I know the value of good photography and I knew it was the one aspect of our wedding that was worth getting the best quality possible. Andrea was worth every penny and I couldn't be happier with the resulting photos and my experience working with her (and her assistant, Cecilia) on our wedding day! Leading up to my wedding, my now-husband and I began to joke that she was our unofficial wedding planner, given she was so much more on top of details than we were. She showed so much care around complex family dynamics and the overall diversity of our community, making sure that everyone was comfortable working with her. She was clear, communicative, and was so consistent and present leading up to, the day of, and following our wedding. Her photos were bright, joyful and colorful, without appearing over-edited, airbrushed, or unnatural. I'm a very critical person, and I would not change a thing about my experience with Andrea. I'll truly cherish the memories that she captured for forever.

Kay is absolutely incredible. She’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met and you can tell she just love to capture your memories in the most beautiful way she can. She’s not just some photographer telling you to say cheese and move it along, she’s going to be your friend by the end! We still communicate via social media and she’s just so relatable and kind. I can’t stress enough how huge her heart is and you can tell by the work she puts out. My wedding and engagement photos were stunning. She captured everything from candid to posed with absolute perfection. I got married almost 3 years ago and I still am obsessed with my wedding photos. You will not regret booking Kay. So why are you still reading reviews??? Just BOOK HER ALREADY!!

The Pros Weddings was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography and DJ services. They had great communication throughout the planning process, were extremely professional, and quick to respond to any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, their DJ kept the party going all night with an amazing playlist that had everyone on the dance floor. The photographer was also fantastic - they worked quickly but managed to capture all the special moments of our big day in beautiful, high-quality photos that we will cherish forever. The Pros Weddings really helped make our wedding unforgettable, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch vendors.

HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

I cannot speak highly enough of Alli and her team. Not only did they capture beautiful photos of our wedding, but they were able to bring the moments of our day back to life with their work. From their expert skill, warm personalities, and genuine interest in making our day feel special, they really are the best the industry has to offer. Our families and guests are still talking about how incredible (and well dressed, Euclid!) our photography team was. Working with them is the best decision you can make!!
