Guided Support, Genuine Moments, Timeless Images
Maryland Engagement & Wedding photographer based in Frederick, MD but will travel to capture your memories
So—photography.
For me, photography has never been about pressing a button. It’s about being present, reading the room, and creating the kind of comfort that lets the real moments unfold—the ones you’ll want to revisit for years.
I started with a camera in college and a curiosity for capturing people exactly as they are. That curiosity grew fast. I fell in love with storytelling, honed my craft, refined my style, and built a photography approach centered around connection, clarity, and genuine moments.
Today, I serve couples across Maryland, Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania—and occasionally hop on a plane when a story takes me somewhere new. No matter where your wedding happens, my approach remains the same: calm energy, thoughtful guidance, and a focus on creating space where you can simply be yourselves.
I’m the photographer who brings structure when it’s needed, humor when it helps, and an easy, steady presence when the day starts to move quickly. I’ll guide you through portraits with clarity, step back during the emotional moments, and keep everything flowing smoothly behind the scenes.
Your wedding deserves more than beautiful image, it deserves an experience that feels relaxed, personal, and stress-free. When we work together, you’re getting more than someone taking photos. You’re getting a partner who values communication, comfort, and connection just as much as the final gallery.
Whether your celebration is intimate or all-out, timeless or modern, my goal is simple: to make the entire experience feel easy, enjoyable, and unmistakably you..
Let’s create something you’ll cherish forever.
COMMUNICATION · AUTHENTICITY · COMFORT
These values guide every step of your photography experience from our first call to your final gallery,
My focus is simple, help you feel understood, supported, and fully present as we create memories you’ll cherish forever.
📸 My Philosophy Behind the Lens
I blend natural storytelling with timeless portraiture to create images that feel honest, elegant, and unmistakably you. My goal isn’t just to document your wedding day, but to preserve the feeling of it.
I’m drawn to the in-between moments the breath before the aisle, the quiet hand squeeze, the laugh that comes out of nowhere. Those fleeting moments become your visual legacy, the ones you return to again and again. Your story deserves more than beautiful images. It deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt.
🎨 My Editing Approach: Honest, Intentional, Timeless
My editing is intentional, true-to-color, and guided by the atmosphere of your day whether warm sun, soft shade, or candlelit reception vibes. Everything comes together in a way that feels cohesive and natural.
I love black and white. It pulls the focus to emotion and connection in a way color sometimes can’t. Above all, my edits enhance rather than overpower preserving what was already real, meaningful, and yours.
“I cannot say enough about how incredible Marcus is. He was so thorough and patient working through wedding day details with us during multiple calls leading up to the wedding. On wedding day, he went above & beyond. We did our photos & wedding ceremony on the national mall & he planned the perfect route to get the best pictures away from tourists but still showing the monuments & beautiful greenery around the mall.
He made sure we got all the photos we wanted even after it started raining, he accommodated my outrageously large list of family photos, and he helped coordinate the perfect first look. His attitude is incredible – he is so positive & upbeat and truly made our wedding day fun & completely seamless. I cannot recommend him enough!”

🎳 The Fun Side
I peaked early in bowling (285 at age 12), and I still love the occasional game. It’s one of the ways I unplug, reset, and keep the fun energy that I bring to every wedding.
