Timeless Photo Video provided excellent service for our wedding day photography and videography. Jamie and Matt were prompt, attentive, and captured all the special moments with an intimate, detailed style that we loved. They communicated in a timely manner leading up to the wedding and delivered the final products quickly after.

Shutter & Sound

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Ellicott City, 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.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding- before the venue, before anything else and it was probably the best decision that I made in the entirety of our wedding planning. Justin was such a pleasure to work with from the start and went above and beyond to make sure that my partner and I were comfortable in the run-up to the wedding and on our wedding day (which is saying a lot, because my partner hates taking/being in pictures). On the wedding day, Justin was even more incredible than I could have imagined. He made us both feel at ease the entire wedding, making us laugh and seamlessly capturing amazing pictures along the way. All night and since the wedding, we've had family and friends tell us how incredible Justin was- his easygoing, friendly demeanor made an already really special day even better and we are so grateful to have him as our photographer. The pictures he captured are stunning (no surprise given the work we'd seen of his before) but I was blown away by the candid moments he was able to capture that we will cherish forever. Again- I can't recommend Justin highly enough and will forever be grateful for both the way he was able to capture the best moments of such an important day and for him being such a wonderful person.

A German import and world traveler who is obsessed with her adopted home of beautiful Old Ellicott City, Maryland. I've had the pleasure of capturing weddings for 7 years now, and nothing excites me more than creating keepsakes and story relics for people to cherish and share with their families for years to come. To this day, I still get touched by the joy, emotion-filled tears, and raucous parties that I have the privilege to witness and be a part of! My clients feel like family, and I don’t take that honor lightly!

We are so grateful to have stumbled upon Izzy to photograph our engagement shoot! She was extremely responsive to our initial request/booking and followed up a week before the shoot to finalize details. She made us feel so comfortable for the entire session, it really felt like hanging out with an old friend. Her attention to detail and eye for creativity made these pictures even more beautiful than I could have ever hoped for. We will cherish these pictures forever! Highly recommend Izzy to anyone looking for an engagement/wedding photographer!

Love captured with passion, edge, and color, It’s an honor when anyone hires me If you’re looking for actual artwork from your wedding, I’m ya girl. How lucky am I that I get to celebrate love not just on Valentine’s Day but every single day, Thank you to all of my couples for choosing me to document your love story.

Brittany is nothing short of amazing! We have professional photos taken almost never so we were nervous on how to act in front of the camera for our wedding day. It was a BREEZE with Brittany! When we said goodbye at the end of the reception we told her just how natural everything felt with her throughout the day. We were able to meet her via an hour long zoom call prior to booking and she was very thorough in explaining the whole Brittany Dunbar Photography experience. We chose the package with 8 hours of coverage, two shooters and engagement photoshoot. We were able to customize this and had Brittany photograph our welcome event instead of the engagement shoot. But she still had dinner with us months before our wedding and did a mini photoshoot with us. So great! Brittany is professional, personable, nice, creative, inclusive and organized. She's got this business down to a science. We could trust her with any wedding advice even outside of photography. Her vibrant yet dark and moody style matched our wedding aesthetic perfectly. Our lighting tech mistakenly used the wrong color lighting for our reception and Brittany was able to edit this for us! We especially love the platform she uses for wedding albums. Incredibly easy to view and share with loved ones. Wishing nothing but the best for Brittany!

We had so much fun with Sarah the day we took our engagement photos. Her editing style consists of a various amount of different aesthetics. Some pictures we got back had this really cool blurry effect on them which made them look very whimsical. Well others were a classic black-and-white that we used for our invitations, she’s a hype- woman and definitely can show you how to pose when you feel uncomfortable!

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

We were initially drawn to Jasmine's work on Instagram for our engagement photoshoot, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the outset, Jasmine took the time to understand our vision and review the Pinterest board I shared with her. Through thoughtful exchanges via email, she ensured every detail was accounted for. On the day of the shoot, Jasmine's warmth and professionalism immediately put us at ease. Her patience was remarkable as she listened attentively to our ideas, seamlessly incorporating them into the session. Constantly referring to our shared vision board, she ensured no pose or concept was overlooked. The speed at which we received our breathtaking photos was impressive, as was their sheer beauty. Naturally, we knew we had to entrust Jasmine with capturing our wedding day. Leading up to the event, her consistent communication and unwavering patience reassured us every step of the way. On the wedding day itself, Jasmine's level of dedication remained unwavering. Her ability to understand and execute our specific vision left us feeling confident and at ease. Once again, the turnaround time for our wedding photos was remarkable, and the results were nothing short of stunning. We are thrilled to have found Jasmine and eagerly anticipate her documenting our future family milestones. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine to anyone seeking an exceptional photographer. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients shine through in every shot.

I understand how it feels to be overwhelmed with options and not see yourself in the inspiration. Like you, I'm frustrated by the pressures placed on couples to have your wedding a certain way. No one should feel stuck doing things like everyone else. Your story is unique, just like you. I embrace comfort through natural storytelling. Fostering a relaxed wedding environment to capture love stories cherished for generations. Collector of tattoos and vintage cameras. Ravens fan and UFC convert. Always appreciating good whiskey and snuggles with my golden retrievers.

We had the pleasure of working with Nicole for our wedding in January 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From our initial consultation, it was clear that she was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about capturing our special day. Throughout the entire process, Nicole was incredibly organized and attentive. She took the time to understand our vision and offered valuable suggestions that enhanced our overall experience. Nicole truly made us so comfortable in a position we felt so vulnerable in. On the wedding day, she arrived promptly and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. The photos are absolutely stunning! Nicole has a remarkable eye for detail and captured every moment beautifully. From candid shots to posed portraits, each image reflects the joy and emotion of the day. She took our vision of a cozy winter wedding and turned the photos into our dream. Nicole was also very innovative in coming up with a beautiful rain plan as we were expecting snow rather than rain on our special day. The editing was top-notch, and we received our photos in a very timely manner. Considering the exceptional quality of the work and the level of service provided, Nicole offers great value for money. We felt that every penny spent was worth it for the memories we now have to cherish forever. She truly had a package for every budget! Working with Nicole was a highlight of our wedding planning. Her expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Nicole was ultimately the ring leader of the day who kept the ball rolling. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for beautiful, high-quality wedding photography to match all personalities. Thank you, Nicole, for capturing our special day in such a magical way!

Hi, I'm Lee. Dreamer, Romantic, Storyteller... Growing up I didn't get it, I can tell you there is more than one photo of me with a bored and anxious look on my face. I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands. Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

Hey friends! My name is Mandi and I'm a Baltimore-born lover of traveling, kitty cats, and ice cream! I am the happiest girl in the world when I am by the water. Being outside enjoying the warm sun, feeling a cool breeze, and laughing with friends and family by the Chesapeake just make my heart sing! When I’m not busy working on beautiful weddings, I’m trying to motivate myself to go for a run or I’m curled up on the couch with my husband, my 3 cats & a true crime doc. You'll always find me decked out in bright colors, no matter what time of year! As a native Marylander, I love getting out and exploring more of my home state - and beyond!

There are not enough words to explain how amazing Mandi is!!!! You need to RUN and book her immediately!! From the first phone call and throughout the entire wedding planning process, she was so responsive, organized, and above and beyond helpful. Her pictures truly speak for themselves and I can’t even tell you how many strangers have reached out to tell me how beautiful the pictures are!! She also got them back to me in absolutely record time. On wedding day, I didn’t have a wedding planner, and she helped me put together a timeline and made sure everything went off without a hitch. She was soooo much fun to work with, was so laid back (while still being assertive and corralling our wedding party/family for pictures) and made sure everything was low-stress. Most people complain about their wedding portraits and how long it takes, but one of our favorite parts of the day was taking our portraits with Mandi and her second shooter (who was also so fun and fantastic). We are so, so happy Mandi was a part of one of the best days of our lives, and it wouldn’t have been the same without her!!

If you are looking for your photographer to create beautiful, fine art images that you can look back on years to come and remember how you felt just by looking at a picture, I think we're a perfect fit! I'm here for the relationships and memories that matter and to capture all of your real moments that make your life so amazing! Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam has been a videographer at a wedding that I photographed before. It's so hard sometimes to communicate and mesh well with other vendors while working a wedding where there are so many moving parts and a timeline to stick to. Sam made that part easy! We got on the same page quickly and helped each other with shots the others wanted to get. Never got into each other's way and the entire day, start to finish it ran smoothly. I wish all videographers worked this well with fellow vendors. Makes the couples experience even better!

I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

Working with Tia feels like you're working with your best friend. She has such a calming presence and really embraces the experience you are looking for on your big day. Ben and I knew we wanted to be very present at our wedding and wanted to limit how much time we spent away from our friends and family. We were drawn to Tia's documentary photography and post editing style and after having a phone call with her we knew she was the perfect match! She is a photographer who will go above and beyond every step of the way. She was super responsive leading up to the wedding and took on coordinating with our planners and videographer. She answered every text and email inquiry we had quickly and I cannot express how thrilled we are with the turn out! I was shocked looking through the images at how well they capture exactly how I remember each moment, colors, hues, and all! She really captured the essence of our theme and venue and I'm so beyond grateful our path led us to her. We will cherish these photos forever and look forward to working with her again in future life milestones.

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.

Brea and her team are absolute geniuses at what they do! Brea made us feel so comfortable during our most intimate photo shoots (engagement and first look), and was extremely efficient getting all of our family and friend photos together. The candids are the best part. Brea and her team have a way of capturing moments like no other wedding photographer I've ever seen. We are aboslultely in love with our wedding photos--and the best part--we received the full album less than a month after the wedding!

I'm Aimee Nguyễn. I’m a sarcastic 28 year old who loves to travel, cook, and snuggle with her cat. I have been photographing all kinds of love since 2017. My main goal on your wedding day is to capture your love and day authentic to you while making you feel comfy and stress-free. I take a lot of my inspiration from dope cinematography and my couples. I want to create visual poetry that speaks to your heart and soul, celebrating all the joy and happiness that surrounds you on your wedding day. My albums are meant to speak to your heart, not just the highlights.

Words simply cannot describe how in AWE I am of these photos. Aside from exchanging vows getting pictures to capture our love and the love of all our closest friends and family was most important to me on our wedding day. My husband and I cannot stop looking them and cannot wait to share them with everyone we love. Not only did she artfully capture our personalities and love on this day but she also captured the love between our favorite humans on the dance floor that night. They aren’t just pictures but true pieces of art with gorgeous lighting, angles and details captured perfectly! 10/10 recommend to all!

Sabrina was great to work with. She was very attentive to our couple and captured all the special moments. She adapted well to anything the day brought us and was able to handle every setting. I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely work with her again.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm glad you're here. ​ I married my best friend and I am a girl mom to the two most inspirational girls in the world. Coffee is my fuel and when I’m not taking pictures, you can find me in my garden. Photography is my passion and art is my refuge - the combination of the two is where I find myself most at peace. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Havre de Grace, Maryland. I'm grateful that capturing beautiful and once-in-a-lifetime memories is how I get to spend many of my days.

We had a wonderful experience working with Gabbi's Galleria for our wedding photography. Gabbi was extremely communicative, helpful, and attentive throughout the planning process. She was always available to hop on a call to discuss timelines, shot lists, and venue details. On the day-of, Gabbi brought an amazing energy and made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully - her artistic eye and talent for capturing candid moments resulted in dreamy, romantic images that we will treasure. We'd highly recommend Gabbi for any couple looking for a photographer who delivers gorgeous work, makes the process fun, and is dedicated to understanding your vision.

Your day, your memories, your captivating legacy, captured for years to come. I help regular brides create iconic moments so they can celebrate their love for years to come. It’s your day and your memories. Let’s celebrate with captivating photography.

Krystina was amazing to work with! She arrived early to the first location for shooting and acclimated herself with the area before getting started with photos. She did not need to be directed where to go, she knew where to go and what to do. She suggested and executed some great solo portraits and pictures with my mom and wedding party. At the wedding itself, she took excellent photos while at the same time not being in the way — my family commented how they didn’t even notice her taking pictures most of the time. The pictures we received were incredible, exactly captured our special day. I highly recommend her!

After a decade of photographing weddings in and around Baltimore, I have grown to absolutely love what this city has to offer. While I am a transplant to Baltimore (go Wolverines!) how close we are to EVERYTHING is just fantastic! That's one of the main reasons I love being a Baltimore wedding photographer - there is something for everyone here. No matter where it is, each wedding is both timeless and unique to the couple.

We enjoyed using Tyler Reith as our photographer for our wedding. He did an amazing job taking photos of our wedding as well as our engagement photos. He did a wonderful job of using his artistic eye to take beautiful photos. After the wedding, he spent about 3 hours helping us pick photos to create our wedding album. I highly recommend using Tyler for your wedding.

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.

I’m Drew a DMV based Videographer/Photographer/Creative, I have been doing photography for 23 years. I started out with black and white film photography , then progressed through a few creative fields. Photography, Graphic Design, Videography, Digital photography & Mixed Media. I really enjoy capturing moments through pictures and video. I am a very mellow person and I try to prepare for all situations.

Drew Stephens Productions was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was simple yet enthusiastic, making the process smooth and enjoyable. The quality of their work was exceptional - we didn't need to edit a single photo, as they captured all the special moments beautifully. Drew and his team were great at finding wonderful locations for our portraits, and they were always punctual and efficient throughout the day. Drew was also exceptional with our young son, making him feel comfortable and getting some wonderful candid shots of him. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Drew Stephens Productions to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

I am a Baltimore based wedding and engagement photographer, known for my vibrant wedding photos with an authentic, candid style. I work with couples who are laid back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying time with family and friends, not spending half the day posing for stiff, awkward photos.

As a videographer, I have worked with Morgan many times, and each time I find out she is the photographer for the day, I breathe a sigh of relief. Her work is excellent, and she does such a great job directing her couples to give them the best photographs. She communicates well and takes the time to make sure couples get everything they need. She is not only professional when it comes to her clients; she works seamlessly alongside all the vendors at the event. You will not go wrong with hiring her. She's amazing!
