About

Birds of a Feather Photography is a Mother/Daughter team of documentary wedding photographers, serving DC, Maryland, and Nationwide. This photography duo maintains a boutique approach to their studio, limiting their number of wedding commissions each year and providing personalized service that is uncommon in the industry. Their style combines photojournalism and fine art photography.

A note from the photographers:

"We document love stories. We watch. We listen. We wait. Then we latch onto the fleeting moments of a wedding day and give those moments to our clients to hold onto and share with generations to come. Our hope is that the couples we work with will open their wedding albums often, look through the photos of their wedding day, and never fail to smile or cry... or both. We also hope their grandchildren will do the same. Fittingly, our work has been described as "modern nostalgia"... we love that.

We're in love with what we do, and we build strong relationships with the couples who invite us into their worlds as they live out this chapter of their love story."

Spectacular photographers!

I can not say enough positive things about Maggie and Betty. They were an absolute DREAM to work with. They were responsive to our emails prior to the wedding. On our wedding day I felt so comfortable and confident with them. My husband and I LOVED working with them. They gave us great direction that made taking pictures feel so easy. They’ve sent us a few dozen preview pictures already (it’s only been a week!) and they look positively STUNNING.

Gorgeous Photos, Fab Team

Maggie and Betty were such a delight to work with. They made us feel comfortable and supported throughout both our engagement session and during our wedding day. The engagement photos they took in DC about this time last year turned out so beautiful. The suggestion of Bishop's Garden was their idea and they didn't steer us wrong. We don't take a whole lot of photos ourselves, but Maggie and Betty were so encouraging and guided us through everything. As for the wedding day itself, they arrived early to scope out safe areas along the property in Culpeper to get the best shots without getting my dress/our shoes dirty. With the photos starting to come in they showed the joy and love captured that day. Their work is stunning and they're just some of the best people in general. We can't recommend them enough for engagements, weddings, or any other special moments you want captured.

Beautiful wedding photos from a wonderful team

Birds of a Feather was the perfect photographer for our Northern Virginia wedding! Maggie and Betty really took the time to get to know us and our style. My wife and I have never really been comfortable being photographed before, but they were so good at making us feel at ease and even feel confident on the most important day of our lives. The engagement photos turned out incredible, and we have received countless compliments on their artistry. The day of the wedding they were on top of things from the jump, and it was clear we were in capable hands at their direction. I can’t wait to get our wedding photos back and show off their incredible work to the world! Thank you Maggie, Betty and Maddie!

BEST photography team!!

Maggie and Betty are absolutely incredible. This mother-daughter duo was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They are warm, professional, and so easy to be around — they instantly made us feel comfortable and calm on such a big day.
They captured every meaningful moment beautifully, from the big emotions to the quiet, candid details we didn’t even notice in the moment. Our photos are timeless, emotional, and full of life. We truly felt like we were reliving our wedding day when we saw the gallery.
If you’re considering Maggie and Betty, don’t hesitate — they are truly special and unbelievably talented

The BEST wedding photographers!!

Maggie and Betty were an absolute dream to work with. One thing I didn’t realize when wedding planning is that your photographers are the people you spend the most of your wedding day with. From getting ready in the morning, to the ride to the church, the ceremony, our trip around DC, and the reception — Maggie and Betty were there for almost every moment. More than our friends and family. More than our bridal party. That’s not something we thought about when choosing our photographers, but somehow we got SO very lucky. The energy, positivity, attentiveness, and confidence they both brought to our day made our day magical.

The gallery they sent us with our final pictures was UNREAL. The emotion, the perspective, the framing, and the moments captured are just all perfect. As we were going through the pictures I kept gasping thinking that I’ve found my favorite picture only to see the next one and fall in love even more.

I cannot recommend Birds of a Feather enough!!

BEAUTIFUL photographs and an INCREDIBLE team - fun, patient, efficient, and thoughtful

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Maggie, Betty, and Maddie on our wedding day and in the weeks leading up to the big day. Maggie and Betty are communicative and made sure to touch base throughout the process to let us know they hadn’t forgotten about us - they are the most thoughtful team, sending us care packages in the months leading up to the wedding and also sending a wedding gift which was so unexpected, but so kind!

They were open to working with our wedding planner on the timeline to ensure that events were coordinated and aligned. When we needed to add an extra hour of coverage, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating in order to make sure all of our requested shots would be taken. They were with us from the early morning to get pictures of everyone getting ready, all the way until an hour before our reception ended to ensure dance floor shots! Maggie and Betty worked with us through two ceremonies on the same day and in different locations. We cannot emphasize how much fun they were to work with and how comfortable they made us feel during the photo shoots.

They got our photos to us in what seemed like record time! We got married in September and they had our photos for us well before the holiday season so we were able to share them with our family during the holidays! The gallery they provided us was so organized and when I noticed a photo missing, I reached out to ask about it and they responded so quickly to fix the small issue. My husband and I cannot recommend Birds of a Feather enough - they are knowledgeable and passionate about wedding photography which made it an absolute joy to work with them. Thank you Maggie and Betty!!

An absolute dream

Maggie and Betty exceeded our expectations as wedding photographers. They were beyond kind, so warm, and lovely to work with. I can not imagine our wedding day being captured by anyone else. They made myself, the groom, wedding party, and family all feel so comfortable and confident. Additionally- everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to waste any of our precious wedding day hours! They were a huge part of making our day so perfect.

Best Wedding Photographer!!

Betty and Maggie were so incredible! We feel beyond grateful to have them photograph our wedding. They captured our day so perfectly and we loved every photo. Not only did they take beautiful pictures, but they were the absolute best to work with. They were so supportive and kind throughout the whole day and which made us feel so much better about being in front of the camera. Betty and Maggy are so fun to be around and made it feel like our good friends were just hanging out with us all day taking pictures. A lot of our friends, some who aren't even engaged yet, have already told us they want Birds of Feather to photograph their wedding after seeing them at ours.

The best of the best!

We were so lucky to have Maggie and Betty as our photographers. Not only are our photos stunning, but they were amazing people to work with. Our engagement shoot had to be rescheduled multiple times due to weather, and they were very accommodating and helpful in suggesting alternative dates/locations for us. They were more than happy to include our dog in the engagement photos, and did a great job at photographing her as well. On our wedding day, Maggie and Betty were a joy to have around. They are calm, fun, and professional. They gave us great direction and made it easy for us behind the camera. We couldn’t have been happier. 100% recommend!

I have had the privilege of working with Betty and Maggie a couple times and I truly enjoy every time we have been able to serve clients together. They love what they, are incredible and professional! They make sure to capture every moment that is important to the bride and are so easy to work. As a planner, I can be busy doing what I need to get done knowing that they have the bridal party for photos, keeping everyone together and getting them to their next destination. Its always a joy to work in tandem with another vendor who works as a team to please and serve the client. These two ladies are amazing. Your photos will be spectacular and your day a breeze with Betty and Maggie behind the camera. Being around them is just...fun!

As equally skilled as they are charming, I'm actually ashamed that I haven't left them an endorsement sooner! It was fun sharing stories and tips with one another in addition to watching them in their element. I enjoyed working with them and hope our paths cross another wedding turned raging dance party. ;-)
