Barbara was truly magnificent. We had her as our photographer for both our engagement photos and our wedding and could not have been more pleased. She takes time to get to know you and is so supportive and helpful along the way. Her attention to detail is especially notable. She is a consummate pro and so easy to work with.

Our photos from the engagement and wedding are all ones we will cherish forever. She helped put us at ease and made our special day even more special. Her support and love of the LGBT community was deeply felt throughout our time working with her. We cannot recommend her more!

Barbara is the BEST photographer!! She was one of the first vendors we booked and one of the last vendors we saw on our wedding day. Your photographer is such an important part of your wedding day and I am so thankful we chose such a knowledgeable, talented, and supportive photographer to work with. She captured our day so beautifully and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

From the moment I met Barbara virtually, I knew I was choosing the right person. She was so professional and knowledgeable about the process, and at the same time, she radiated such positive energy. She helped my husband and me a lot because we had no idea where to start, and honestly, she gave us a lot of guidance throughout the process. I remember reading her reviews, where someone wrote: " If I didn’t marry my husband, I would definitely marry Barbara LOL. And honestly, I AGREE! What an incredible person. From the moment she arrived at our elopement, she did everything she could to get great pictures. She made me feel so comfortable. My family loved her! On the day of our elopement, the weather was unexpectedly terrible—it was windy, snowing, and raining—it was just bad! Yet, she came up with a plan C LOL to make sure the pictures happened. I will never stop being grateful for her! She’s definitely the photographer you need at your wedding.

We hired Barbara O Photography for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! She is just as organized and talented as she is personable, and I knew we would be in great hands from the day we met her. Our wedding was photographed by her associates who were absolutely wonderful, talented, cheerful, and made our day unforgettable in the best way. I would recommend her to anyone. Her prices are also very reasonable for this area and the quality you are getting!

My wife and I eloped to Malta in June of 2025 and looking through Barbara’s portfolio, we just knew that we needed to fly her with us. Eloping abroad was already a bit nerve wracking because we were planning a wedding without the ability to really plan much at all (no hair or makeup trial, etc.). We knew that no matter what, our #1 priority was to have photos that would allow us to forever remember how magical our wedding day was. Honestly, I’ve been telling Barbara now for a year that she should raise her prices… a year later, we continue to gasp when we look at our photos… and so do our friends and families. Our experience with Barbara was truly magical. She’s an absolute ray of sunshine and helped even my wife feel comfortable in front of a camera (we were both incredibly anxious about her ability to relax and be intimate on camera). We can’t wait to hire Barbara to return with us to Malta for our 10 year wedding anniversary and sooner, I plan to hire her for lifestyle photos for my business website. Thank you Barbara! There are no words that can truly describe how grateful we are for you!

We loved working with Barbara and her associate photographer, Lauren! Barbara took the time to get to know us, learn what we were envisioning for our wedding day, and offer expert advice. She worked with us to map out our timeline and make a rain plan! When we met Lauren on the wedding day, she knew our plans in and out and was so lovely and easy to work with. Our photographs turned out beautifully and captured our special day perfectly.

If you are looking for a low-stress, high-result experience, I cannot recommend Barbara O Photography enough. Of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding at the US National Arboretum, Barbara was easily the best in terms of communication and collaboration. She was incredibly responsive, and the 'hand-off' process to our associate photographer was completely seamless.

Our photographer, Lindsay, was a dream to work with on the day of the wedding. She brought a calm, guiding energy that was what we and our wedding party needed. She has a fantastic eye for scoping out the best locations; the Arboretum is a massive venue, but she knew exactly where to go to find the perfect shots.

Lindsay hit the perfect balance when it came to directing us: she let us be ourselves, but whenever we didn't know what to do, she stepped in with clear, helpful guidance. We love the final results—especially the scenery shots that perfectly captured the 'feel' of our day against the backdrop of the Arboretum. Our associate photographer Rachel was equally wonderful.

Highly recommend this team for anyone who wants a professional, organized, and artistic wedding photography experience.

We had the most incredible experience with Barbara O Photography from beginning to end. While Barbara herself wasn’t the one physically shooting our wedding (one of her associate photographers did), the entire process was absolutely flawless and that’s a testament to how well she runs her team and business. We absolutely adore Barbara and loved every interaction we had with her. She delivered on every single promise she made. Communication was seamless, organized, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, which made everything feel easy and stress-free.

Lauren, the associate photographer who shot our wedding, was truly fabulous. She was professional, warm, and made us feel completely comfortable the entire day. When we received our photos, we were absolutely floored. The editing Barbara did was stunning. Again: timeless, emotional, and beautifully reflective of our day. We cannot stop looking at the photos! STUNNING

We genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more. If we could go back and do it all over again, we would choose Barbara O Photography again and again. Simply amazing.

Congratulations on finding Barbara! She was “The One” for us and I would recommend she be “The One” for you too! She is professional, punctual, responsive, talented, and an absolute joy to work with. Our photos exceeded our expectations and she was able to capture moments that we can look back on forever. The day of, Barbara showed up and got us back on schedule after we were running behind. She navigated the day so well and I found myself looking to her for guidance more than my own coordinator! We cannot recommend her enough and look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future. Thank you, Barbara!

We had the best experience with Barbara. She approached everything with kindness and was so professional. She did an amazing job capturing our wedding day and made it so much fun. Every special moment was photographed so naturally, allowing the real emotions to shine through. The photos feel authentic, candid, and full of life. We couldn’t recommend her more highly and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
