  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

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.

Wow, we have been blown away by Justin. He did a beautiful engagement shoot for us. His work is incredibly fairly priced, and is truly a steal for the quality and quantity of photos you get. He was prompt at responding to me, getting me his information, and booking our shoot. At the photo shoot, he made us feel so comfortable and like we are the most photogenic people, despite any nerves we may have had. We got previews in less than 24 hours and our full gallery in 2.5 weeks. The photos are gorgeous. It was hard to pick which ones we want to post and which ones we want to use for invitations because they’re literally all SO good! 10/10 would recommend Justin for your photography needs!!

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!

Layla was my absolute favorite vendor to work with for our wedding. She is a ray of sunshine with an upbeat, welcoming, and fun personality. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, pick her!

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.

  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

I'm a lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing your keepsake moments! With work experience in event management, I understand the behind the scenes of weddings & I am fully equipped to deliver you fun AND professional service on your big day. I've captured weddings, engagements (hello crouching behind a tree to capture the proposal moment), and so much more. What I love about weddings is witnessing such happiness and love. I spend my time capturing the glances between couples, Grandma's smile, and your special details. If you want to see where attention to detail, professionalism, lightheartedness & sarcasm meet...let's chat!

To say that Tori is a gifted photographer is the understatement of the year. I usually hate every photo of myself - but at my wedding, Tori took photos that I proudly hang in my house and that make me feel like a model. She not only is gifted at photography, but she knows how to command a crowd or energetic children without dampening the good mood. She will get photos that look magazine-worthy no matter the event. In a world where everyone tries to be an amateur photographer using their phones, trust that a professional like Tori will give you stunning photos that will last for years to come!

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.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

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 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!

Please visit my website for more information and to inquire. I am unable to respond to inquires directly sent through Zola due to a paywall. I like to describe my style as a thoughtful balance between creative and timeless. Anticipating and capturing moments charged with spontaneity, joy, humor, and magic are the roots of my passion. Finding and manifesting compelling light & compositions is the heart of my creative process.

Rachel was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer! She has captured not only my wedding but also my sisters' weddings and all our family photos, and over time, she has truly become part of the family. The engagement shoot was included, and it was incredible—she made us feel so comfortable and captured our connection beautifully. Her ability to make everyone feel relaxed shines through in every photo she takes. Rachel did an amazing job working with the kids, using a tiger puppet named 'Tigey' to capture the most perfect smiles and laughs from my nieces and nephews, which made for some of our favorite photos. What really stood out was how much fun she was to spend the day with! She brought such great energy and made the entire experience enjoyable for everyone. Thanks to Rachel, we have the most stunning memories to look back on. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely fun photographer, I can't recommend Rachel highly enough!

Hi hello, I'm Devon! My pronouns are they/them, I change my hair a lot, and I've been a full-time photographer since 2011. Behind the camera I craft images that show the heart and soul of the fabulous people, places, and things I’m working with. When not photographing you’ll find me swing dancing, road tripping, or curled up at home with a book in one hand and mug of tea in the other.

Devon was delightful to work with throughout our entire engagement and wedding processes. We loved working with Devon because of the way they took the time to get to know us, which allowed them to showcase our quirks and love for each other as a couple and the joy among our wedding guests in every photo. Devon is an excellent photographer for people who are shy in front of a camera. Rather than just posing us, Devon used a relaxed, conversational approach and creative tricks to help us naturally settle into smiles and body language that truly make our photos look like us. We could honestly feel Devon’s excitement to celebrate our love through their work. Devon was clear, supportive, and transparent throughout every step of the planning process, from pricing to developing a photo list and schedule of events for the day. They were responsive and easy to talk to, and they returned our photos promptly. We can’t recommend Devon enough, and we can’t wait for our next opportunity to work with them again!

We are a Baltimore based wedding photography business with an incredible passion for life and love, and here at Clapp Studios we specialize in documenting the emotional moments that add meaning to our customers and their families lives. Beautiful photographs are emotional moments frozen in time for you to remember and revisit with family, friends, or a quiet moment alone - and whether in here in Maryland or at a destination miles away, we strive to create images that will be cherished for generations

Our original wedding plans changed due to the Pandemic and we had no idea what each day would bring, regarding alternate plans. However, we wanted a marriage more than anything (not just a wedding). So we stayed in contact with Mr. Clapp and he remained open to (re) scheduling and accommodating our needs. He kept my nerves at bay by reassuring me that everything would still work out. He took the time to answer all of my questions, even the repeated ones. He answered phone calls, texts, and emails within minutes. The day of the service he was on time and prepared. We had major technical difficulties and delays due to the virtual set up, but he was beyond patient and hung in there with us til the end. During the mania of it all he never made us feel like we were infringing upon his time. The pictures turned out AH-MAAAZING!!! When the complete photo album came, within a week or two, it brought me to tears. The photos were just that beautiful. Mr. Clapp has a gift of capturing every nuance and every emotion. If you want fun, professionalism, variety in poses, ease and comfort on your big day, Mr. Clapp is a sure pick! It truly was like working with family and we are so grateful to him.

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
After friends shared a photo of my then fiance and me at their own wedding, we hired the photographer who took it. This was Nina! That one photo inspired us to review the gallery of their entire wedding and then her portfolio and we were blown away. 7 months later our own wedding day arrived. My husband and I are the type of people who are wildly present and constantly forget to take photographs of our life together. We knew we wanted to capture this day without the photography becoming a chore or hindering our ability to do what we do best and enjoy our time. Nina was able to provide just that and was incredible (as was the second photographer she worked with for our big day). Nina seamlessly handled all the chaotic moments and pre-ceremony stress of the very emotional bride (me) in stride! With very little direction she navigated all aspects of a wedding day with absolute poise and grace. I cannot thank her enough for taking on such leadership and just GETTING IT DONE! Nina captured all the big and tiny pieces that go into a wedding and I felt her photo choices, angles, and poses perfectly captured the essence of me and my husband's personalities. At every avenue Nina was a professional, personable, and I never expected I could be so satisfied with a collection of photographs. THANK YOU SO MUCH NINA.

Cesario worked with us in every aspect, was really flexible and easygoing. We had a semi pop-up wedding with very loosely laid out plans.. and he made everything cohesive and organized. I loved the direction he gave us in front of the camera also. I think all the guests felt really comfortable with him. Even though we were in no rush, we got our photos back within days!! Incredible.

Not only was he personable and entertaining, he also knew exactly what he was doing. He asked us the right questions prior to the big day and made sure we knew what to expect, and he slid very easily into the role of MC, which made the event run so much smoother. Not only that, but the turnaround time for photos was FAST, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! I have nothing but praise for Paul and the CIP team and am so thankful we got the pleasure of working with them.
