Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

“Laura is energetic and fun but also completely professional. As someone who has worked with her as a customer and also as a partner on a few photo shoots, i have never regretted my decision to choose to work with her. She knows what looks good and how to position your body so that your look your absolute best. I would highly recommend working with her.”

Josh was a great communicator and really understood from the beginning what we were wanting. Josh was also very helpful with timeline for the day and had great suggestions. He also worked very well with our photographer. The day of the wedding stayed on track with a lot of help from him and his team. We were able to enjoy the day along side him working to capture every moment. During our private vows I didn’t realize he and his team were there, but they still captured every moment. The quality of videos were amazing. After watching our ceremony video we were impressed with the sound quality and we were astonished by how many cameras he had around without us knowing they were there. Him and his team went above and beyond on our wedding day and showed real professionalism throughout the whole day. Josh was good on his delivery of videos from the sneak peak to the actual videos he sent. If you are thinking about getting a videographer don’t hesitate to book Buxton Media Production.

“We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.”

We used Wendy for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and in each case she was incredibly flexible and her work was amazing. She allowed us to postpone our engagement photos until the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Washington, DC, which is very hard to plan for! She braved frigid temperatures with us that day, but our engagement photos turned out amazing! To plan for our wedding photos, she came to our vineyard venue a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure she knew what we wanted in our pictures, and made sure to fully execute that dream the day of our wedding. To this day, I still get compliments on our wedding and engagement photos as they turned out beautifully.

Throughout my four years there I planned all of our large-scale events, which included designing all floral elements for each event. It was at that job I truly learned just how obsessed I am with planning and executing events, as well as floral design.

We were running late on our weddings, I was so worried, but Aira kept on telling me that how great we were and she captured everything I wanted.

“Shout out to the best makeup artist!! Davey was incredible to work with! He made everyone laugh, especially me! Fun fact, I felt like I was going to shatter, barf and explode the morning of my wedding after a certain point… (it wasn’t nerves, I am a certified control freak and things were being done I wasn’t overseeing ) Davey at one point was like, girl, are you ok? I can feel the vibes and we need to calm you down! Honestly, Davey helped me through such a rough bit of time and was so patient with me! But like… let’s not forget the absolute SLAY he gave me! I’ve never felt more beautiful! A “Bronzed Barbie” as he called me Thank you so much, Davey! True Colors Beauty Co. : Mountains Moose Photography”

Your world collided with ours because you are marrying the love of your life and now you need someone to document it in a way that will last for generations to come! We want your timeless memories to be shown to kids, then grandkids, and their kids and so on! The family tree is growing and we love being a part of that! We are suckers for the groom's face when he first sees his bride, for the dads trying to hold back tears, for the moments that make the wedding day the best day ever!

“If you are looking for a wedding photographer that will provide you with THE BEST magazine quality pictures, look no farther! After canceling our wedding 2 times due to Covid, Matt & I discussed the possibility of eloping to Jackson Hole, WY. I knew that Bob & Jamie have visited there enough to claim it as their 2nd home (lol) so I reached out for some advice/recommendations regarding the area & eloping. They not only offered a ton of knowledge about Jackson, they said they were available to travel and shoot our wedding. We booked them right away!!! They helped Matt & I EVERY step of the way. I said I wanted to be married inside in front of a large stone fireplace and have pictures taken outside with the snow covered mountains afterwards. They immediately went to work searching for hotels with stone fireplaces & locations (yes, multiple) for scenic wedding photos. Once those decisions were made, they helped select a restaurant for wedding dinner and plan our excursions. Bob even offered to be the tour guide for our snowmobile trip to Granite Hot Springs. These two went way above and beyond wedding photographers! Our wedding day was truly a dream come true (Hallmark movie worthy) and I can’t thank Jamie enough for capturing every part of it. She left no stone unturned. When we received the preview pics, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. The photos were even better than I had hoped. She made us look like we were on a magazine cover! Northern Lights Photography was part of what made our elopement special”

Residing on a country road, nestled between Washington, DC and Annapolis, MD, I can't help but pinch myself daily that I get to do what I love for a living. When I'm not capturing the love stories of the awesome couples I get to work with, you can find me loving every minute of life with my bald-headed husband, our sweet baby girl, and our big-eared pup.

“Erin was absolutely STELLAR. PHENOMENAL from start to finish. Couldn't have been more impressed or pleased with her on my wedding day. She worked so hard to get amazing shots, all the pics I asked for, and even some I wouldn't have thought of. Can't wait to see the results, I know they will be amazing. 3”

Events are a part of everyone’s lives. Weddings in particular are an important event that many of us get to experience hosting just one time in our life. A wedding is also widely known as one of the most stressful days of your life – that’s where we come in. Between the two of us we have planned over 185 weddings from the day after engagement all the way to closing the car door as the couple leaves for their honeymoon.

“Megan is an absolute gem!!! She saved me when my florist backed out of my wedding 17 days out. Her quick thinking and call to action made me feel so relaxed especially on my big day. Hiring her 3 months out from my wedding was the best thing that could’ve happen. She also just happens to be an amazing person who makes you feel like you’re just talking to your best friend. Cannot recommend her enough!!”
