Hamilton Photography

We loved working with Christina and Mark and from the engagement photos to our wedding photos it was an amazing experience. They photographed our special day so well that it was hard to pick my favorites. They captured moments that I didn't even think of and I love that I will always have these photos to remember our wedding. After all the planning that goes into a wedding you really want someone that can capture all the beautiful moments and Hamilton Photography went above and beyond my expectations.

Hamilton Photography was absolutely amazing! They captured our wedding day perfectly! There wasn’t a minute or event that they missed. Christina met with us prior to our wedding to understand our vision and go over our timeline shot list with us. Mark and Christina ensured they captured every picture on the shot list and did an amazing job keeping us on schedule! They are both such wonderful people and so nice to work with! They helped us with anything we needed. We were so excited to see our pictures after the wedding and they got them to us so quickly! We had our pictures in less than two weeks! They were all absolutely gorgeous! We highly recommend Mark and Christina!

We were lucky enough to have Christina Hamilton shoot our wedding, with Jason as our second shooter. Mark and Christina were awesome from beginning to end. We were married at USNA, and Mark was extremely clear and organized with coming up with the photography timeline with me. We had last minute changes due to our venue dropping the ball, and Christina was super flexible. She even drove us to our reception in her minivan and lent us her umbrella because our transportation fell through and my bridesmaid forgot our umbrellas! She helped me feel special even though it was COVID, we had to wear masks much of the day, and it was pouring the entire time. She captured so many amazing moments, and helped direct the photo shoots with efficiency and confidence so that everyone looked amazing. My only wish was that we had more time with her!!

Main reasons to book with the Hamiltons, they have extensive experience, are fun to work with, studio includes a professional graphic designer to edit the photos, and they give you the digital rights to your photos.
Christina shot my husband’s brother’s wedding 7 years before ours and they loved their photos, so I checked them out. I received quotes from 8 different photographers and while they weren’t the cheapest, they were very reasonable and in the middle. For the experience and what you get for that price, they were absolutely the best value.
I’ve been in several weddings, and the taking pictures part was a chore. But with Hamilton, it was actually one of our favorite parts of the day. They were efficient and gave clear directions, while joking around with the wedding party. They instantly picked out the best lighting and most flattering angles. At one point Christina quickly grabbed and hopped up on a chair to get the best angle, Mark literally held up a light shield for many of our photos to make sure no dappled sun from the tree above threw off the lighting. They know all the details, fixing my veil for me, how to position everyone, the timeline.
My wedding was on Saturday, and the full photos were available to be viewed by the following Wednesday! They then give you the full digital rights to your high resolution, non-water marked photos with a release so you can also print them yourself (If you don’t choose to order through them). Which isn’t something I knew to even look for in choosing a photographer, but it’s extremely important. Imagine 10 years later, you don’t want your full pictures lost out on some photographers out of date website that requires you order through them. Hamilton does also have the option to order through them of course, which includes additional photoshop correction if needed.

I am so happy and grateful that I chose Hamilton as my photographer! They were very helpful, quick and thorough with our initial inquiry for information and I immediately liked Christina when we talked on the phone! She was very nice during our engagement photo shoot and the photos turned out beautiful! They were responsive with questions and details leading up to our big day! The day of our wedding was a disorganized mess - the hair and makeup people were behind and I was completely stressed out and flustered. Through all the craziness, both Mark and Christina took charge and started working through the photos of different details and the girls getting ready! I got so many compliments on how nice and great they both were! Despite so much happening at our wedding, it felt like they were always there photographing everything that happened!
They did not miss a single thing!
I went a little overboard with decorations and details and had so many little unique things at our wedding. Mark and Christina did not miss a single detail and captured pictures of it all! They even had us come out for a little photo opt when they saw a double rainbow!

They were also very quick to provide our photos after our big day! I can't stop staring at them because they are so beautiful!!!
Everyone that I show them to keeps telling me how amazing the photos are and that there is not even one single bad one! They were even able to capture the cutest photo of our dog! I couldn't be happier with the professionalism, responsiveness and quality of the work by Hamilton photography and am so happy I chose them to capture my wedding!

Brides reading this, if you are stressed about choosing vendors, don’t be stressed about whom to choose as your photographer, the answer is Hamilton Photography! I started speaking with Christina back in August of 2019 when my wedding was supposed to be taking place in April of 2020. She helped with everything, literally EVERYTHING. She listened to what I envisioned for our wedding day and put together timelines of what the day would be like. When our wedding was cancelled because of COVID, she was there with me every step of the way in putting together new timelines for different dates and venues that we were playing around with. When we rescheduled for April 10th 2021, she put together a perfect schedule that everyone followed from the videographer, DJ, to the wedding planner. On our wedding day, Christina arrived and immediately I felt so comfortable with her since I had been speaking with her on the phone since August of 2019. She captured our day beautifully. Our pictures are incredible and everything I could ever have asked for. The candid photos, the laughter, the lighting, just everything I could want. I didn’t know what to expect from our wedding photos but she exceeded all expectations. I have received countless compliments and praise of our photos and it’s been a month since our wedding and I still scroll through our photos everyday. We also got our pictures back after 1 week, which was amazing!!! I’m so grateful that I have these photos and memories to look back on forever. I can’t recommend Hamilton Photography high enough!! I am forever grateful to Christina and Heather for capturing our special day. Thank you so much for everything! Love you guys!!!

Mark already did our engagement shoot, and we loved those. We are waiting for final photos from our wedding night but know they will be perfect. We picked Hamilton Photography in part bc our venue gets really dark at night (Engineers Club), and we had seen he had photographed there a bunch and had the best shots in that lighting. Mark and Tomas were easy to work with, great at getting pre-ceremony shots staged quickly, but then they were never in the way taking candids throughout the night. Also Mark was so flexible when we had to change our wedding date from 2020 to 2021. Highly recommend.

Christina and Mark were worth the $$. We booked them well in advance of 2020, but then COVID happened and they were the most understanding and flexible regarding the situation. They are a married couple that when working together makes you love your wedding day even more. Seeing them shoot us on our big day knowing they were married made us fall in love even more. "Mark lets get that shot" "Mark move her veil this way, then fix her train" and watching them truly work together then seeing our stunning shots makes me look back at my photos in awe of that day - especially the many "walk this way, now look at each other, now kiss" and then seeing the results. They truly know what they are doing when it comes to capturing portraits as well as those perfect candid shots! We can't wait to use them again for our other life milestones. Not to mention - she worked really well with photographing our doggo!

We loved having Mark for both our engagement shoot and wedding! He was super friendly, nice, professional, and made us feel special! He was very easy to work with and made taking photos fun! They were also helpful in our postponing from April to September. All of the photos turned out amazing! We love them all so much! Virgil was great as our second shooter too! The photo booth was also so fun and a great hit with our guests! We would definitely recommend Hamilton Photography and would hire them again for any other photo shoots/events we need!! We are so happy we went with them for our wedding!

I cannot speak highly enough of Mark and Christina. They were amazing to work with and despite the constant changes we had to make due to COVID, they made everything so easy for our original ceremony in June and wedding in August. They are very familiar with the Naval Academy and were able to help us get the most memorable pictures as we could. They were extremely accommodating in various ways, in which we were grateful for. Working with Christina on two occasions, I can say that she is efficient at what she does and is great for staying on track for a schedule. In addition, she captures some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever had. We couldn't be any more happy to have chosen Hamilton Photography for our wedding and look to have them in the future for any other shoots we want to do.

Hamilton Photography was so amazing to work with during my three years of planning and three COVID postponements. Not only did they stick to the timeline we requested, but they were so fast and efficient and knew exactly the shots they wanted to get. I can't wait to see the final products!

Mark and Christina are simply amazing! They both are so talented and know how to get the best shots! They both were so helpful from our engagement photos to the wedding.

If you want amazing photos Hamilton Photography is the only way to go!

Christina was an absolute dream to work with! We met her at a small wedding event in Annapolis and I knew she was the perfect photographer for us! She has TONS of experience shooting around Annapolis, so she knew all of the best spots to go for our engagement shoots and wedding photos. Our photos came out incredible. Christina and her team have a very timeless, classic look to their photography. I haven't been able to stop looking through our photos since we got them. We got our photos a month after we were married, which is very impressive! She was so easy going to work with and captured all of our shots we wanted. I would definitely recommend Hamilton photography to anyone.

Hamilton Photography was our wedding photographer and there are no words that can truly express how amazing our pictures are! Christina had a timeline and knew all of the places to take amazing pictures (our ceremony was at the US Naval Academy) so all we had to do was follow her lead. She listened to the important things and people we wanted photographed and made sure it all got captured. I don’t know how we can choose only 70 photos for our album because they are all wonderful! I would recommend Hamilton Photography to anyone and everyone planning a wedding!!

I HIGHLY recommend Hamilton Photography, especially if you’re getting married at the USNA. My husband and I live in CA, we relied heavily on reviews when picking a photographer and I am so thankful we found Hamilton Photography. We had the pleasure of working with both Mark and Christina on our wedding day. They were true professionals! They kept everyone on schedule and took absolutely stunning photos!!!
