Crafting lifelong memories from fleeting moments
Joyful storytelling. Candid moments. Beautiful memories. Affordable budget.
Exceptional wedding photography tells the story of your special day through emotion and art. And it’s also within the reach of your budget! I’m a Maryland wedding photographer serving the MD-DC-PA-DE-VA area with high quality, affordable work. My wedding package is an all-inclusive rate of $400 per hour, and only $200 per hour beyond six hours. Explore more below to see how the fleeting moments of your wedding can be crafted into lifelong memories.
Joyful Storytelling
Your wedding day unfolds in a series of moments of emotion. My calling is to weave together each smile, laugh, and tear into a joyful narrative. Whether you’re booking for just a few hours or the entire day, your album will tell a perfect story of your love.
Candid Moments
The look in a groom’s eyes. A father’s proud tears. Laughter between friends. These are the fleeting moments that I love to craft into lifelong memories. Of course, we’ll do plenty of “posed” photography as well, but even those scenes are all about providing a context to let your authentic love shine through. The result is effortless and lasting beauty that you will treasure forever.
Beautiful Memories
Your wedding day is a work of art. Your wedding photography should be too. From lighting to composition to the meticulous editing process, each shot is carefully crafted and lovingly rendered to bring out all the beauty of your special day.
Exceptional value included
My hourly package ($400/hour up to six hours, and $200/hour after that) is designed to fit your vision and budget without compromise. This price includes a free planning meeting and assistance at every step of the planning process, full ownership of all fully edited photos, and final delivery in a beautiful digital album for unlimited downloading and sharing.
Free engagement session
A free engagement session is included in every wedding package six hours or longer. That’s a $200 value, absolutely free. And if you don’t need an engagement session, you’ll receive a $200 credit towards your wedding.

Questions? Answers:
Q: $400/hour? Is that really all?
A: Yes, that really is it. A curated, edited, beautiful album with all of your pictures, all of your event. No other costs, except for destination weddings (in which case travel + hotel costs apply).
Q: How do I pay?
A: 25% of the cost is due at the time of booking. 25% is due at our planning meeting (which is scheduled once you book your event), and the last 50% is due when pictures are ready for delivery. Of course, I’m also happy to work out any other payment plan that suites you. If you’d like more details, you can check out a copy of my standard wedding contract.
Q: Where are you available?
A: Brendan lives in Baltimore County Maryland and is available for hire throughout the Maryland/DC/Pennsylvania/Delaware/Northern Virginia area, and for destination weddings anywhere in the world.
Q: How many pictures do I get?
A: It depends on the length of your wedding and how many different elements of the day there are, but the short answer is, “A lot!” I take thousands of pictures during a day-long event, and curate them down to several hundred beautifully edited highlights that tell the story of the day.
Q: How do destination weddings work?
A: The same straightforward pricing applies to my destination weddings— simply decide how many hours of photography services you want, and that’s all you pay for (plus hotel and airfare). For a destination wedding package, we will schedule two free planning sessions. The first meeting is to talk about the big picture and agree on an estimated cost for hotel and airfare so that Brendan can make travel arrangements. Just like a regular wedding, a 25% deposit is required at the time of that first meeting. The second meeting is scheduled closer to the event, to plan details like timelines and locations. 25% of the fee is due at that meeting, and the final 50% is due when pictures are ready for delivery.
Q: How long do you take to deliver the pictures?
A: Sometimes as little as one week, and never more than three weeks. I don’t want to keep you waiting!
