No amount of words can express our gratitude to Lester & Dreisbach Photography and I could spend all day talking about how wonderful they are. They are beyond amazing and such beautiful human beings! We had searched high & low for the perfect fit and they both exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was back in November 2021 and the weather was pretty much all seasons rolled into one day making things extremely difficult and how they made it all work is a miracle! From our first Skype meeting(thanks Covid) they were so warm, friendly, down to earth and such fun, we talked for hours! We literally booked them that day as we didn't want anyone else. The communication was fantastic and their service was like no other, especially during such an uncertain time with Covid. They were flexible and really made us feel special on our day, you can see just how passionate they are about their craft! Their passion is infectious and we had sooooooo much fun having our photos taken by them, the freezing cold wind & jumping over fences were all made worth it. They're both so dedicated and one of our photos always makes me smile knowing that they had thrown my veil up into the air to try and get a great shot and had to run off into the bushes to avoid being in the photo(their dedication and yet care for you is next level!). They also made all our guests feel super at ease when taking photos. Considering how short on time we were and the weather constraints, we got so many amazing photos and we loved that you not only get the "editorial"/artistic shots but also beautiful candid moments captured that you don't even see yourself! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much we are forever grateful for having been able to have you apart of our special day!

Chesapeake Charm Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,400
  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

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!

I could not recommend Mandi from Chesapeake Charm enough!! She was the photographer for our wedding in 2021 at Rosewood Farms in Elkton, MD. As soon as I saw Mandi’s photography when we were wedding planning, I knew that we needed her for our wedding - she was one of the first vendors that we booked! I fell in love with the bright & airy style of her photos. I absolutely loved working with her, from our initial consultation meeting to our wedding day. We even had her do our family photos with our baby for Christmas in 2023! You will absolutely not regret hiring Mandi as your photographer!

Tyler Rieth Photography

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.

My wife and I got married at the Elkridge Furnace Inn and hired Tyler as our wedding photographer. It was the single best decision we made in regards to our wedding planning. Not only were his prices reasonable, but he was a phenomenal photographer who was omnipresent and yet invisible for the entire wedding. When people needed to be posed for shots, he brought Band Teacher Energy and made people laugh and pose naturally. Tyler and his assistant Claire were not only skilled at their jobs, but they were the absolute nicest people who made our day all the more special. By the end of the day, we had one of our guests who is getting married soon ask for his details. If you're looking at this review and thinking of hiring Tyler... yes. Just, yes. I can't endorse it enough.

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.

Photography started out as a hobby for me. I was the family member that showed up at every event with my camera. I was just shooting automatic. I knew nothing about photography until one day someone advertised a class. I took the class and that was the beginning for me. People started hiring me so I continued to educated myself. I have taken many photography classes and workshops. I wanted to be the best.

I highly recommend Tyrice Gorham Photography for any of your photography needs. She is an amazing photographer! Thank you for capturing our incredible wedding, a day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We were so pleased with our photos and our wedding book is so beautiful.

We’re creators, travelers, and artists, but foremost: storytellers. Every wedding is a personal project for us, with unique couples, love stories, families and locations. We strive to tell that story through our lens, and create a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork you can enjoy for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We just received our photos back from our wedding about a month ago, and we were blown away. We had a feeling the photos would be wonderful because of how professional and attentive our photographer (Athel) was, but of course there is always still that suspense. The team at Indigo and Ivory was wonderful throughout the entire process, always communicative, and it felt like they really cared. Athel even drove a good distance to attend an open house with us at our venue, to get some ideas ahead of time around what settings would be best. He was lovely throughout the whole event, super accommodating of our special requests, and captured all the most important moments. We cannot recommend them enough, the images came out amazing and we are getting tons of compliments! If there is anything I would do differently (and this is not any knock on Indigo and Ivory, this is just general advice for anyone looking to hire any photographer), I probably would have went ahead and added a second photographer for the day (which is something they offer). I wanted to cut costs a bit so we didn't go for it - but of course if you have two you will make sure to get all the different angles you are hoping for and then each person can spend a bit more time with both wedding parties to capture more of those candid moments. I also wish I had made sure to put together a better list of shots that I wanted - once again, these are items that I recommend in general and has nothing to do with Indigo and Ivory. If there are certain things you want your photographer to capture, make sure to write them down and communicate! With all that being said, even if you go with just one photographer and you happen to forget to write down all the specific moments or you just want things to be more free-flow - I 100% recommend Indigo and Ivory for you! They are wonderful and I'm so happy we have these gorgeous images to treasure for years to come.
