Hamilton Photography

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.
