Kate Fine Art Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Riva, MD

In 2003 I began my career in photography with the Maryland Film Office in Baltimore and photographed my first wedding in 2004 with my sister-in-law. I was in love! In 2007 I decided to go full time with wedding photography. I moved out west to apprentice with veteran wedding photographers in Las Vegas and Los Angeles to master studio lighting and posing techniques. I began working full time as a wedding photographer in Annapolis under my own company in 2009. Since then, I have met hundreds of amazing couples. When I'm not photographing a wedding, you can most likely find me on a mountain or the Chesapeake Bay with my family...camera in hand.

Kate is a super talented and professional photographer and we’re so happy we chose her for our wedding. From day one Kate was responsive, professional and super easy to work with. We had our wedding in Greece, and despite the language barrier, Kate connected with our wedding planner to ensure that everything went seamlessly. She asked questions and was very engaged making sure she knew every detail of the photo timeline. She even typed out an email in Greek to our wedding planner somehow!! We were very hands off and gave her complete creative control, and she was amazing! On the day of our wedding Kate showed up and went above and beyond, capturing all of the important moments, with little to no direction from us on our big day. We received the sneak peak shots very quickly after the wedding and we absolutely loved them! We are so happy with our decision to work with Kate and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, professional photographer!

  • Serves Riva, MD

Technically my name is Alexandra, but my friends all call me Alex. I shot my first wedding in 2015- and immediately knew I had found my calling. Now, with four years of experience under my belt, I still pinch myself that I get to do this as my JOB! Pinning the boutonniere on your dad, reminding your bridesmaids to remove the hair ties from their wrists, and maybe even jumping on the dance floor when the Cha Cha slide comes on (it is my JAM.) I truly take my job as your bonus bridesmaid to heart. All the while, capturing beautiful images full of LIFE that tell the story of your wedding day.

Alex is AMAZING! Our wedding photos turned out exactly how we wanted. We can't stop looking at them. She not only gave us beautiful photos and memories but was the BEST person to spend the day with. She helped make sure our wedding ran smoothly and was so fun to be around. My husband and I don't love taking pictures, but Alex made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we had so much fun. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Alex!!!

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

I think the best decision we made in our entire wedding process was booking Lindsay and Nathan. They were fantastic to work with - we always felt extremely comfortable and always trusted in their judgment! We worked with them for both our engagement shoot and wedding - and each session truly blew us away. They captured our wedding so beautifully- the videos and photos well cherish forever. I think the best part about working with them - is knowing they had everything always under control - working 2 steps ahead at all times, could control the wedding party (lol), and didn’t miss a beat. I spent MONTHS looking for our photographer and went through countless rounds of calls and inquiries- the second we spoke I knew they were the ones. CHOOSE THEM. You won’t regret it!!!

My partner and I reached out to Xiao for an elopement photo shoot after we got our marriage license. Xiao is always prompt in her responses and offered seamless communication. As newbies, we were a bit confused about the steps on how to get the license, although it was not her job, Xiao gave us many tips. Our elopement photoshoot date was a bit rainy. Xiao offered a few indoor photoshoot spot options. We ultimately went with the Library of Congress, and Xiao even helped us reserve the tickets. Xiao instructed us on how to pose when we felt a bit awkward. We had so many random funny encounters with other visitors at Library of Congress and they gave us many compliments. Xiao went above and beyond to mark sure the day was special for us and that the photoshoot felt personal and fun. My partner is usually camera shy but he eventually opened up. The photos also turned around super quick. The photos came out beautiful although it was a gloomy day. We picked out a dozen photos of our choice two days after the photoshoot and Xiao made the edits turn around super smoothly. Highly recommend booking her to make your special day memorable as well!

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
Krista was an absolute joy to work with! On our first introduction call, Krista provided a sample day-of-wedding timeline and we immediately knew she was the photographer we wanted to work with. Her attention to detail is impeccable and everything was thought about prior to the wedding which made the planning process and the wedding day run so smooth. Prior to the wedding, Krista took the time to get to know me and my husband which made taking pictures on the wedding day feel extremely comfortable and natural. On the wedding day, while taking pictures, we stayed on timeline and did not run late. Our wedding party and parents were so impressed with how we kept to our schedule while taking pictures. When we received our wedding photos a few weeks after the wedding, we could not stop looking at them! The lighting was perfect and the poses looked so natural. Krista and her partner did an amazing job. We highly recommend using Krista as a wedding photographer and my family will definitely be using her in the future for additional photography needs.

I believe you should be present on your wedding day, not rushing through a timeline just to check boxes. That's why our goal is to provide our couples with a photography experience that allows you to be fully present so that you can truly have the time of your life celebrating with your people, laugh your way through pictures, and dance the night away with your best friends. In the end, your wedding images should be a direct reflection of the memories you made, not moments that were forced.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Meghan enough. We've just gotten our sneak peeks and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for our full gallery! Our photos are stunning, and she went above and beyond just photos. When I didn't know where to turn in some planning aspects, I asked if she had any advice and she always came through. She was so chill throughout everything. She knows weddings like the back of her hand. I never felt like we were on our own. She kept me cool and calm when some family members sparked some frustration. She kept us on track with our requested shot list but also gave us room to explore different poses and different locations at the venue. She was also great at giving my husband (!) and me directions on how to pose (we're quite awkward in front of the camera) and managed to make us look like complete naturals! She also brought along her amazing team so we got so many pictures and amazing candid moments. Just a few of the sneak peeks have already made me tear up. Our day was amazing and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to document it all. By the end of it all, Meghan felt more like a friend than just our photographer. THANK YOU MEGHAN!! YOU QUEEN!!

As both a bride and a former wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Kaytlyn enough! From the very beginning, she was a dream to work with — professional, responsive, and so easygoing. We first worked with her for our engagement session, and the results were absolutely stunning — she captured us so naturally and beautifully that we knew instantly she was the perfect choice for our wedding. On a personal note, I also booked a boudoir session with her as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. She made me feel completely comfortable in a very vulnerable setting, and within minutes I was totally at ease. The results were elegant, empowering, and something I will treasure forever. On the wedding day itself, she blended seamlessly into the flow of events, capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. Having worked with many photographers in my coordinator role, I can say her professionalism and ability to connect with her clients is truly exceptional. She has that rare combination of talent, warmth, and efficiency that every bride dreams of in a wedding vendor. If you’re a bride looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, capture your day beautifully, and handle everything with professionalism, look no further — Kaytlyn is the one!

By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head.

She pays attention to every little detail to get the best photos and was so skilled in finding the perfect shots throughout the weekend. We loved working with her and would suggest her to any couple across the country as she knows how to scope out any area for the best shots. Her consultation process was great, she gave us a lot of good ideas and considerations to help us make sure we got in as many good family/friend shots as possible so the whole wedding party could have nice photos to remember the weekend by as well as us.

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

Sam captured the most amazing photos for our wedding. Photos that make you wonder “how did he even do that”. His work goes so much further than the clicking of a camera. His own artistic expression was a gift to the entire event. And the professionalism he brought forth before, during, and after the event makes everything very simple to track, purchase, and share. If I could, I would use Sam’s photography skills at every life event.

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

My name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the owner and photographer of Jennifer Mary Photography and specializing in Branding and Wedding Photography. My love for photography started in elementary school. I was always snapping photos with my Poloroid sticker camera or a disposable camera. I fell in love with the story telling. I'm a curly-headed, Old Bay loving, Lilly Pulitzer wearing, and caffeine-dependent millennial. In late 2017, I moved from Maryland to gorgeous Charleston, SC; where I experienced my first Southern snow storm (which consisted of 4 inches of snow and 2 weeks of snow days for students! What a time to move!)

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

My approach is intentional and heartfelt. I focus on the moments that truly matter—the fleeting glances, quiet embraces, and joyful celebrations—so you can not only see your wedding day, but feel it all over again. If you’re looking for a photographer who offers more than just images—someone who brings genuine energy, thoughtful artistry, and an elevated experience from start to finish—then I’d be honored to create with you.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to shoot our wedding. Bekky was not only super professional, but was kind and funny. She listened to all of our wants and needs, and helped us to capture the best moments. With such a chaotic day that flew by, I was excited to see all of the little details that I didn't get the chance to take in during the day. Our pictures turned out more beautiful than I could have ever expected. I will use Bekky for all of my future events.

Hi, I’m Tess your wedding photographer with a heart for storytelling and a passion for capturing love in its most authentic form. With over six years of experience photographing couples, families, milestones, and portraits, I’ve learned that the most powerful images come from moments where you feel truly seen and at ease. That’s why I focus on creating a comfortable, relaxed environment so you can be fully present on your wedding day. If you’re looking for a photographer who values connection, emotion, and those in-between moments just as much as the big ones, I’d love to connect.

Literally the best photographer I’ve ever worked with! I can honestly say that Tess will be my photographer for life! She made our engagement shoot so seamless, effective, warm and beautiful and we were so grateful we just HAD to have her shoot our wedding. And our wedding was phenomenal! The pictures made me teary eye because she captured the moments so beautifully. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better photography experience.

We had an amazing time working with Shawn and Breanna at our wedding. They were friendly, had good ideas for shots, and were determined to get good emotional shots throughout the day. Couldn't have asked for better people to work with us on our wedding day.
