LGBTQ+ couples

The collective approach

A collective means several photographers share a studio identity. Ask which member will shoot your wedding, and whether you can meet that person first. Ask also whether your package includes a second shooter, and whether both photographers are credited in the contract. Compare portfolios from each photographer, because each has a distinct eye.

A mix of styles

• Lifestyle portraits that feel relaxed and natural
• Photojournalistic coverage of the day as it unfolds
• Landscape images that show the setting
• Still-life details such as rings, flowers and stationery

Planning for the region

The Baltimore, Annapolis and DC area offers waterfront, historic and city venues, each with its own light and rules. Government buildings, historic sites and parks often have photography permit requirements, so ask the team about experience with your location. Share a shot list of must-have images, and a timeline that leaves room for travel between locations.

Ask how much time is built in for portraits, whether your gallery is delivered online and how quickly. For popular weekends in spring and fall, book early. Check the agreement for what happens if your photographer is unavailable, and who steps in.
