Just me

Rooted In Poppy Photography was born from legacy, love, and the belief that every couple deserves photos that feel like them. As a Frederick wedding photographer and DMV wedding photographer, I bring a warm, candid, golden-hour-inspired style to weddings, engagements, elopements, and intimate courthouse ceremonies. I focus on capturing the in-between moments—quiet hand squeezes, stolen glances, and laughter that can’t be posed.

I approach every celebration with intention and heart. As a lifelong creative with a deep background in art and storytelling, I create a relaxed and comfortable space where you can be fully yourselves. This allows your photos to feel genuine, emotional, and timeless—images you’ll treasure for decades.

Each couple’s story is unique, and I honor that by blending sentiment, fun, and authenticity into every frame. Whether you’re planning a full wedding day, an intimate elopement, or a simple courthouse “I do,” your moment matters. Your story is legacy—and I’m truly honored to help you preserve it.

Rooted in Poppy Photography is a wedding photographer based in
Frederick, Maryland.

Absolutely amazing ✨

Haley at Rooted in Poppy Photography did an absolutely incredible job capturing my wedding. She brought such a warm, calming presence to the day and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are stunning — natural, emotional, and truly full of life.

I’m so grateful for the way she preserved every moment so beautifully. Choosing Haley was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. 💛📸

Effortlessly Positive Experience 10/10

From the moment we started our first shoot (small and intimate wedding), Haley (Hayy) brought an energy that was contagious. My spouse and I are generally a bit awkward in front of a camera, but that nervousness vanished within minutes. She didn't just help pose us; she made us laugh, chatted with us like old friends, and made the experience so effortless.
The entire atmosphere was upbeat and lighthearted. Instead of feeling like a chore or a stressful "picture time" deadline, every interaction was genuinely fun. Her positive attitude helped us relax and be our authentic selves, which shines through in every single photo. We spent half the time genuinely cracking up, and we would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a genuine photographer who loves what she does. Thank you Haley!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
