Wedding Photography in Rockville

Choosing Jessica as our photographer was one of the easiest decisions we made. From our very first meeting, it felt like catching up with a friend. If you are looking for a photographer who is both a pro and a joy to be around, hire Jessica. She handled our crowded cherry blossom engagement session with so much patience, delivering stunning photos where the crowds completely vanished through her editing. Leading up to the wedding, her communication was top-tier. She worked closely with us and our wedding coordinator to build a seamless timeline that navigated three different locations. On the day of, our families and guests absolutely loved her energy and haven’t stopped talking about how great she was to work with. She captured the story of our day perfectly, from getting ready to the reception. To top it all off, she sent us a 'sneak peek' before we even headed home for the winter holidays! Seeing that joy and magic captured so flawlessly was the best gift. If you want a photographer who feels like a friend but produces editorial-quality work, we cannot recommend Jessica enough!

Farnaz was great! Kind, prompt, meticulous, and really worked hard to get the best shots of our wedding day! She was very professional and has a lot of experience, and the pictures look gorgeous. I highly recommend her!

If you are looking for a photographer look no further! I utilized Belle's dream photo and design after researching several photographers for my June wedding. I instantly felt at ease after meeting Rachel and was impressed by how organized, professional and warm she was. This was one of the top reasons I booked this company! Rachel took our engagements and my fiance and I felt at ease. We had several high quality shots to choose from. She even surprised us with movie tickets and a Starbucks gift card to encourage us to have some downtime during the planning process. Rachel was right on time for our wedding along with her assistant. She took photos of me and my bridal party getting ready. There were so many precious candid shots that were taken that I did not even remember on our big day. The quality and quantity were sooooo much more than we anticipated. We were blown away by the post wedding surprises Rachel and her husband sent us! My husband are so grateful we went will Belle's Dream for one of the most important days of our life. We would choose them again and again!!

When capturing our wedding, Phil did everything we could hope for, and then some. He was great to work with throughout the whole process and brought a relaxed and assuring energy that helped everyone feel at ease and take the best photos possible. We had some unexpected rain that forced us to improvise a new indoors location for our wedding party photos but between pre-planning and good improvisation skills, Phil seamlessly navigated the situation and the two of us were never worried. We chose Phil mainly because his portfolio didn’t just feature the posed wedding photos, but also demonstrated a ton of dancing and other shots that we felt captured the energy and emotions of the day perfectly, and he absolutely delivered on that. Phil had a super quick turnaround in sending us a huge album of preview shots less than 24 hours after finishing shooting our event, and so many of those photos perfectly captured a moment that we loved from the wedding night - especially the reception speeches and the dance floor! Overall hiring Phil ticked all the boxes for us and it would be hard for us to imagine a better wedding photographer to capture what we wanted. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further and hire Phil! You will not regret it.

Neva helped capture both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and we couldn't be happier with the result! Starting with the engagement shoot, Neva was very easy to communicate with, and the day of she had tons of ideas of where best to shoot, while still listening to our preferences. She went above and beyond, spending longer than we initially had planned on the shoot, and sending us preview photos with a really short turnaround. She was very quick and responsive via email with answers to any questions and she gave us detailed, helpful responses. For the wedding itself, Neva was very involved in giving suggestions as to the day of timeline, providing detailed estimates of how long each type of shoot we were looking for would take, and working closely with us to make sure we could capture all of the moments we had hoped for. On the actual wedding day, Neva was phenomenal, helping guide us around to the different areas for our photos, and herding the large groups of family and friend around for their respective shoots. With expert advice on when to take each type of photo, we were able to capture the moments we wanted while still being present and enjoying the wedding itself. Again, Neva went above and beyond and stayed longer than she was supposed to, and getting us the sneak peaks within a few days so we could enjoy her amazing work. We couldn't be any more satisfied with Neva's work throughout the entire wedding process! A huge plus is that she's also such a friendly, caring person to be around who makes you feel comfortable. Thank you for everything, Neva!

What can I say...Ryan was absolutely AMAZING! Similar to how we found our venue, a relative also found Ryan. We spoke with him over the phone, reviewed his portfolio and decided to hire him for our engagement photos. Can you say phenomenal? We took pictures in Old Town Alexandria near the water and they came out wonderful. He was timely, professional, flexible and very creative. Once we received our engagement session pictures back we decided to hire Ryan for the wedding as well because we were so pleased and received many compliments. One thing we really liked about Ryan was that he allowed us to send him ideas (pictures I saved from pinterest) to recreate during our engagement session and even for the wedding. While he did allow us to use and re-create those ideas, he also came up with a number of creative pictures on his own. Overall, we were very pleased with his services and would definitely recommend him to anyone and use him again. Great job Ryan!

Carmen Wang was referred to my by a friend and I could not have been happier with the outcome. From the beginning Bo and Carmen were easy to work with and flexible for meetings. They had great tips for a wedding timeline and really took away the stress. Bo was great to work during our engagement photos and I knew the wedding would be a breeze. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about our pictures. Bo works very hard and is great at working with the entire wedding party. I would recommend Carmen Wang to everyone looking for wedding photography. Best vendor choice I made.

Mara was INCREDIBLE. The photo room we were in was a bit small but Mara was able to Tetris everyone to fit the space perfectly! She was so kind and made us feel so comfortable. We can’t wait to see the final photos. We wanted to add an extra half hour as the day was flying and Mara had no problem staying to capture some additional moments. I would recommend Mara to anyone that is looking for a photographer with vision and also flexible to make changes and adjustments that arise from the day!

Rosa was a really great photographer who worked with us on location, time and budget. She was extremely professional and friendly. Her photography style varies and is more portrait oriented than abstract. She does great photo editing and colorization. I would definitely recommend her.

What makes Madalina a wonderful photographer is that she captures precious moments. When looking through my wedding pictures, I experience the emotions that I felt on my wedding day all over again--the pictures beautifully tell the story of that day. That is why I chose Madalina, because she knows how to capture natural beauty and emotions. I was considering saving money by hiring her for a shorter amount of time and not getting a wedding album from her. But after talking to my mom who regrets not taking advantage of her wedding photographer, I realized that this was a special day and I should take advantage of the services that Madalina offers. Best decision I could have ever made! I chose one of her wedding packages which included plenty of time to take pictures at the wedding, 100 digital copies, and a gorgeous wedding album--well worth the price! Most importantly, the photos were AMAZING! Blew me away! Madalina exceeded my expectations and captured so many great moments. She is also great to work with--very kind and she truly wants your day to be special. I highly recommend her to any of my friends, family, and any soon-to-be bride planning her wedding!
