About

The hot term of art in wedding photography today is "photojournalism". Technically, the term refers to a candid documentary style of telling the story through undirected photography. It's what we do.

We just call it real.

We approach every shot with the goal of capturing the unique spark within and between each person that makes them real. Whether it's a couple exchanging vows, a bride dancing with her father, or a new husband and wife sharing a private look across the room, each fleeting scene has an important element of reality, and special meaning, that can only be communicated through a photograph. And they can't be staged or repeated, so we keep a low profile, let the focus be on the bride and groom, and get every shot the first time.

Our photography practice is about preserving the memories of your wedding, and capturing your real moments.

Brian and his brother Kevin were AMAZING! They came to the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner to meet the wedding party and get familiar with the venue. Both arrived bright and early the day of the wedding to capture all those special moments with both the bride and her maids and the groom and his groomsmen. The entire day was captured just as the bride and groom had envisioned. One of the things that sets them apart is that their fee includes all of this time not just an hourly package. We would HIGHLY recommend them not just because of their value but, their experience and their expertise.

Brian and Kevin are absolutely amazing at their craft. They have a great style for capturing authentic moments, blending in to your event and taking a very observational approach to documenting the day. The pictures turn out better than you could ever imagine. They are our family photographers for LIFE! Call them today!

I have long known d2 Wedding photography, and I highly recommend their services. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and assisted us every step of the way from engagement through wedding reception.

The photography is beautiful, professional and creative and captures the details and sentiment of your occasion. They are an EXCELLENT choice. (In fact, I was so impressed with their ability to capture such intimate shots without my ever being aware of photographers around.)

A most positive experience!!! thumbs up!!!

We found d2 Wedding Photography (Brian and Kevin) through the Baltimore Bridal Show and were really taken back by the time, effort, and quality that were on display from the very first introduction. While d2 wasn’t the cheapest, we found that that they were absolutely the best bang for the buck!

Brian and Kevin, from day-one have been phenomenal! We booked them very early on, planned an engagement photo session with them (which was VERY HELPFUL AND RECOMMENDED). Working with them, we really got a sense of their communication and artistic styles and it gives them an opportunity to figure out the things that we loved, hated, and tolerated.


Brian and Kevin were both at the rehearsal, worked with our priest directly to have questions answered, and were available to help. We had Brian and Kevin with us all day on the wedding day (Kevin with me and Brian with my wife) to capture the day-of activities. When we ran into a little snag with a missing boutineer, Brian and Kevin sprang into action right away (without being asked) to assist. They were working with parents, my wife, me, and the florist for us. Everything was squared away quickly and perfectly.


As for the photos that Brian and Kevin captured -- they were amazing! They captured everything we had hoped for and so much more! The presentation was fantastic, the guys were great, and the photographs were awesome!


Our bottom line recommendation is: d2 Wedding Photography isn't the CHEAPEST on the block when you think about raw dollars but I challenge you to find another PAIR (remember, you get two photographers in this package) of photographers that give you the the time and value for what you spend on them. We found that the value of what we were getting far exceeded the price that we paid. Brian and Kevin were absolutely amazing. There is no question that we will work with them in the future. And there is no doubt that we would be willing to recommend them to anyone.

Brian and Kevin could not have been more professional and conscientious during our wedding. There were with us every step of the way and captured every moment. They also came to the rehersal and the rehersal dinner, as well as did engagement photos for us, truly a full service company. We cannot thank Brian and Kevin enough for the wonderful job they did photographing our wedding and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Brian and Kevin were recommended to us by a friend. These guys are phenomenal. Not only do they take exceptional photos, but they go above and beyond in their work. They attended our rehearsal dinner to capture memories, and they were with us from the moment we started getting ready until we headed to our hotel room at the end of the night on our big day. These guys treated us like family, and they did everything possible to help make our day special. What is really great about these guys is that they are extremely passionate about their craft. Also, they are so discrete, and they blended in with our guests. They were super collaborative and flexible with our other vendors. They researched locations that we discussed for photo opportunities so that we could immediately shoot upon arrival. They have great ideas for amazing photos, and they are super fun to work with.

I am what my family and friends dubbed the "reluctant bride." It wasn't that I didn't want to get married, I just didn't have a big wedding and be the center of attention. I absolutely don't like to be the focus of attention, and was particularly adverse to having a photographer snapping pictures of me all day. So, when one of my fiancee's clients recommended d2 Photography, I groaned and reluctantly agreed to give them a chance.
At our first meeting, Brian asked a lot of questions - many that I didn't have the answers for yet. But he also answered all of my questions and reassured me that he wouldn't be in my space at all on the wedding day. From that meeting on, I was much more relaxed and Brian coordinated everything with little or no fuss.
On our wedding day, both Brian and Kevin were invisible. I know that they were there because we have AWESOME photos, but they took their shots without any fuss, and got pictures of things that we didn't even know were going on.
Our experience with d2 Photography was excellent. I can't say enough about the professionalism, personal touches, and talent of Brian and Kevin. Thank you so much for everything!!

D2 Wedding Photography provided the greatest photography for my Wedding I could have ever asked for. They are the best at what they do. Professionally, photographically, and affordable. My wedding would have not been the same without them. My wedding was over an hour from their business and they were flexible throughout the entire process from engagement pictures to the wedding day. They made me and my husband feel at ease and so comfortable. My husband is smiling in all the pictures! (He never smiles!!!! They are amazing!)

As wedding musicians we've interacted with many photographers, so I can say from much experience that these photographers are some of the friendliest, most senstitive artists I've had the pleasure of working with. I was impressed how they captured every memory without disrupting the moment; they were an essential part of a truly beautiful event. We look forward to seeing them again and I highly recommend D2 Wedding Photography to my brides!

I've had the pleasure of shooting alongside Brian and Kevin, and I sincerely recommend their photography services. Working professionally and seamlessly with the entire event staff, as well as the bride and groom, every special detail and moment is captured! I am consistently amazed at the artistic images delivered to the bride and groom, and anyone should be thrilled to have them as their wedding photographers.

It's two weeks post the most recent wedding that I worked with D2 Photography and of the one photo that I have seen thus far, I must definitely say I might just lose sleep until I see more (that's how anxious I am)! They had a VERY fleeting moment to capture a dove release that we had thoroughly planned out. Not only did they get the shot, but it's an emotionally engaging one that truly summarizes that event to the T. What is even better is that Kevin and his brother, are an absolute delight to work with. They remained professional and accommodating through some bumps in the road on wedding day, and happily made any adjustments that were requested of them with enthusiasm. They are what I call "good people" and I will refer them to my couples time and time again.
