I am a wedding photographer living in the Ellicott City, Maryland area - just between Baltimore and Washington DC. I have been photographing weddings since 2014 and I have photographed over +200 weddings since!. I primarily service the Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia areas. I frequently travel out of state and out of the country to photograph destination weddings as well.
Find out more about my story and philosophy below~! I can't wait to get to know you! If you have any questions, pleas feel free to ask! I emailed Justin not long after getting engaged to ask about engagement photos. He responded so quickly, and he was willing to ride with us for 4 hrs to WV to take photos.

I quit the stable 9-5 job, took the risk, moved across the country to pursue this dream. Since then, I've photographed +250 weddings. To me, it still has been the best career decision I've made and I have absolutely no regrets. I've had the chance to meet amazing couples along the way - ones who have become lifelong friends.
First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time and I'm so happy for you two and I'm ready to do my best! I'm sure you are here planning your wedding and are feeling pretty overwhelmed with all the options, ideas. We really just want nice, memorable photos, and to be comfortable in front of the camera.

You don't come across a Justin easily! Justin's photos and videos are captured simply put, in a superior way of completely unique genius. His eye for detail and quality of pictures are such, you wonder how he managed to take those amazing shots! He puts his whole heart into his work. He's so present when he's working! He is also so incredibly professional and such a nice person to work with. Very quick to turn around everything. Well done Justin!

Hiring Justin to be our wedding photographer was hands down, bar none the best decision we made during the entire process. Justin also did our engagement shoot, so we already knew how talented he is. What amazed us was the amount of care and thoughtfulness he put into planning our wedding shoot and flawlessly executing on the day of. He was like a ninja - moving around quickly, capturing all the best angles and moments. It was like we had a second photographer! Most importantly, Justin has an amazing personality and made every photo FUN. Our guests loved him and it shows in the photos! We don't

I would recommend everyone around the DMV area to have Justin as their wedding photographer! Due to the ongoing pandemic, we decided to keep things private and planned an elopement ceremony in DC. My husband found Justin's website online, and we both really liked the style of his pictures! After making sure that Justin is available on the date we wanted, we had a zoom meeting to talk about our plans, including that I really like the architecture of the Washington National Cathedral and would like to take some nice portraits there. Justin provided a lot of useful details for us to finalize our plan

It was a pleasure to have Justin as our photographer! I found him on Instagram and we connected so well during the initial meeting. I was super excited to have him. He's so fun and energetic, and that helped put my bridesmaids and I at ease during the wedding day. To start it off, our wedding was postponed from Sept 2020 to May 2021, Justin was super responsive and flexible with the change so that took a lot of stress off my mind. Given that we decided to forgo the ceremony, I was concerned if Justin was able to get enough footage for a wedding album. He was able to provide over 1000 photos from

We would recommend Justin to our friends and family. He captured our most special moments in such beautiful photos. He is amazing to communicate with and very responsive! He also shot our engagement photos too. He made as feel comfortable and made us laugh as we can be an awkward couple and my now husband really is camera shy.

Highly recommend! Justin made it easy to schedule even with changing cherry blossom peak bloom time. He made us comfortable throughout the shoot, which is very important in getting nice pictures. We also got our pictures back much quicker than anticipated.

Justin was amazing! We had an absolute blast taking our elopement pictures with him. My husband and I were immediately comfortable with him and it made the shoot feel very natural and fun! We loved the pictures when we first saw them but I swear they just keep getting better 😍

Justin, we love you. I remember when Jennifer said, “I found this guy I really like but he’s in Maryland.” I said “See if he wants to go to West Virginia with us for the weekend.” Her face lit up when you said you would come to our house and hang out with us for a weekend in a remote town in WV. We couldn’t be any happier with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out. You’re amazing!

Our experience with Justin was beyond what we could have hoped for. He was incredibly professional and responsive, amazingly talented, and a wonderful person on top of that. Each and every communication we had with him made us feel confident and excited about our choice. We interviewed several photographers, and he was by far the most organized and knowledgeable. We loved hearing the story of his journey into photography and could really hear the passion he holds for his work when he spoke. My wife and I are camera shy, but he had an infectious ease and humor about him that made us feel very comfortable
