Not only is Jesse so talented, he is also so kind and caring. Taking pictures can be so uncomfortable and he really put our nerves at ease and directed us in a way that resulted in epic photos. I would 100% recommend him. We also added on video services and I’m so glad we did. I cried within thirty seconds of watching the highlight video he made. It was so well done and something I will cherish forever. He also guided us on the timeline for our wedding so we would have the best lighting and that was really important as we had the time of sunset wrong and we had booked the ceremony at the wrong time. Because of Jesse’s expertise we were able to adjust everything in time before we sent out the invitations.

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

My love for photography began as young as 12 but the passion came as soon as I welcomed my first son, Liam. Motherhood is a busy busy life and the camera keeps all the memories fresh. I love, love. Nothing makes me smile bigger than a surprise engagement, or the welcoming of a new baby. I really try to get to know my clients and visualize their lives before I even attempt to capture their story - because that story is what MAKES the shot!

We cannot recommend Haley enough for your wedding photography needs! We discovered Haley through Instagram and were immediately impressed by her work. From our very first interaction, Haley was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Haley made the photography aspect seamless.

I help couples document their love story in a beautiful and memorable way. By capturing the essence of your love story, I create timeless images that blend classic elegance with raw emotion. Whether you prefer posed portraits or candid moments, I'll craft a collection that reflects your unique story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

We specialize in capturing the stories of couples who are passionately in love with each other, telling their unique and beautiful narrative through the lens. Our favorite way to tell love stories is to really get to personally know you, your future spouse, and the relationship grounded in love that has led to something truly amazing...marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
I spent a long time researching wedding photographers when I started wedding planning because I knew great photos would be very important to me. Glass Woods photos really stood out to me, and they were the first wedding vendor I booked. I am SO glad I did. Covid hit and we ended up postponing our wedding several times. Jake and Tasha were extremely flexible and accommodating throughout the process, and ended up traveling an hour to shoot my backyard wedding, which was not what they had originally agreed to. Unlike other vendors I dealt with, they never gave me a hard time or caused me any stress. On the day of the wedding, Jake was AMAZING. He was so chill and fun, and made us feel extremely comfortable on camera. He shot the wedding by himself, but didn’t miss any important moment. We just got our photos back and couldn’t be happier. They are all stunning. He did an amazing job of capturing all of the emotions in perfectly framed shots. I believe Tasha does the editing and it was also phenomenal. The colors are spectacular. I’ve already printed and framed some and they bring me so much joy to look at. So very grateful to Jake and Tasha and will definitely use them for photos in the future.

Hi, I’m Bryan! My love for photography started when I was a kid.

I’m calm and easy-going by nature, which means I’ll keep your day running smoothly and stress-free while making sure every meaningful moment is captured one click at a time.

MKT is amazing to work with! We hired them for our wedding in Newport Beach in July 2022. We were able to do an engagement shoot with Ashley and get to know her prior to our wedding. The photos from the hour-long engagement soot were amazing. She asked me for a shot list ahead of time, and also came with her own. She allowed us 2 outfits and helped us with posing the whole time. Ahead of the wedding, she met me at the venue for a walk-through and went over my shot list. Together on our wedding day Ashley and Marcus easily shot over 2000 photos, and they all showed an attention to detail in both posing and capturing candid moments, the focus, lighting, and coloring was all consistent and beautiful, and the touch ups after made them all look even more gorgeous. MKT was everything I could have hoped for after looking so long for professional, on-time, personable, and reasonably priced photographers.

I’m a fun-loving, passion-chasing, curly-headed gal looking at life through a viewfinder. My happy place is anywhere outside of my comfort zone, but a nature-filled walk chatting up good company is a close second. If I’m not planning my next trip, or dreaming up something to cook for dinner, I’m outside trying to meet my Fitbit step goal. (10k club, anyone?) My latest leap of faith? A cross-country move to sunny Orange County, California. This isn’t the first time I’ve packed up and jetted away from my home state of Maryland: Germany, Singapore, and South Carolina make the list too.

I am a father of two beautiful young kids. I do Weddings/engagements/family because they are fun to me. I don't book myself full because I don't want to lose the magic of capturing someones day, that they spend ages planning. I work with a small trusted team that together has a lot of years experience. I work every shoot to capture the emotion in which you actually felt in the moment. No Ai was used in the creation of this explanation ;)

Well if you've stumbled upon this review, consider yourself lucky that you found Jeff. Jeff was my wedding photographer, and I could not be happier. Not only was he a calm presence on our wedding day, but he also stayed later than expected when our timeline ran behind which I really appreciated. Jeff has an amazing creative eye and put so much effort in to make sure we had the best day. Thank you again Jeff for your hard work and your kindness. My husband and I printed out his photos and enjoy them everyday in our home. We are so lucky we found Jeff and I have recommended him to multiple friends, who have also been happy with his services.

We had a less than traditional wedding that people only understood when they got there and he rolled right along, giving us stunning photos that will save the day in our memories for our whole life time. Karl is professional, highly skilled, and absolutely a pleasure to work with.

As a wife and mom, I know how quickly time passes, which is why I focus on creating timeless, heartfelt images that feel real and true to you. Whether it’s your wedding day, a couples session, or family portraits on the coast, I’m here to document your story with warmth, artistry, and intention.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Annie. From the moment she showed up, she brought such a calm, fun energy to the day. She didn’t just take pictures—she helped direct everything in such a natural, easy way that made the whole day flow perfectly. It felt like having your best friend there who just happened to be capturing every single moment beautifully. When we got our photos back, we were blown away. Every shot feels alive—she somehow caught all the little moments, the laughter, the emotions, everything. The pictures are absolutely stunning, and both my wife Yui’s family and my family keep saying how special they are. These are photos we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Annie made the day so fun and stress-free, and her work speaks for itself. She’s insanely talented and just an amazing person to have around on such an important day. We can’t thank her enough for giving us memories we’ll never forget.
