Highly Recommend!

Christina and Brian from Hamilton Photography are true professionals who went above and beyond to capture our special day in Annapolis. Their expertise and easy-going nature made them an absolute joy to work with from start to finish.
What really set them apart was their incredible flexibility. As with any wedding, we had a few last-minute changes and impromptu moments, and Christina and Brian adapted seamlessly. They rolled with every surprise, ensuring that no special moment went uncaptured.
Their professionalism shone through in every interaction. They managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration while knowing that all the important moments were being beautifully documented.
If you're looking for photographers who can expertly capture both the planned and spontaneous moments of your big day, look no further than Christina and Brian!

Breathtaking Wedding Photos

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.

Amazing to work with!

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!

Amazing Wedding 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!

great experience

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 was a fun-loving PRO

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!!

Amazing photos, a joy to work with, includes an efficient and responsive studio team

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.

Couldn't be Happier!!!

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!

Best photographer ever!

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!!!

Stunning photos, Flexible, and Kind Spirited

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!

Mark was awesome for our wedding!

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!

Absolutely Incredible

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.

Love our photos

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.

Absolutely perfect!

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!!!

Loved working with Christina!

Christina Hamilton and her team were so great to work with! We did both our engagement and wedding photos with Christina and were so happy with how they turned out. I believe Christina told us it would take about 6-8 weeks for us to receive photos, however both times we received our photos electronically within 2 weeks!! Christina helped us feel comfortable behind the camera and always worked quickly and professionally while never making us feel rushed.

Not only did the photos turn out beautiful, but Christina was great with communication throughout the entire wedding planning process. She always responded very quickly; she was our best vendor in terms of response time. Because of her experience and timely responses, we ended up asking her input for questions that weren’t necessarily photography related. We really appreciated her help on everything throughout the planning process, and would defiantly recommend Christina and her team!

Fun, Easy, and Timely

Mark and the team at Hamilton Photography were absolutely amazing to work with. Choosing a photographer can be a tough process, but my wife and I instantly knew working with Hamilton would put all of our worries to the side. From the initial meeting, to the engagement shoot, and the big day, Mark and his staff were a pleasure to work with. They have such a creative eye and know how to capture every moment, without being in your face. They know what questions to ask, where to be at what moment, and how to maximize your time with them. Best of all, none of our pictures felt forced. Their timeliness in getting photos back to us was also incredible. We expected to take at least a month before we would see all of our pictures, but in just a few short weeks they had them uploaded and sent to us. Our friends and family are jealous of our pictures! We are happy that we went outside of our budget a little bit and "splurged" for Hamilton Photography. We would highly recommend Mark and his team to anyone looking for a photographer in the Maryland area.

Excellent work, fun presence

The photos came out great which is the most important thing. The next most important thing, to me at least, was that the photographers' presence the day of the wedding was fun and not overbearing in any way. Mark Hamilton and his assistant went along with our preferences the day of and did a great job of gathering people in a timely manner for photos without being too aggressive. We have great photos of the day but did not feel as if the whole day was about taking pictures- which is exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Hamilton photography to anyone, especially if they are getting married at the Naval Academy, as they have a lot of experience with the chapel and the officer's club. We had a great experience.

This review is long overdue! Christina and her crew were amazing for our Annapolis wedding in the beginning of August. She was so helpful with all the planning and asking the hard family dynamic questions that I would have never thought of. Her knowledge of the venue was also so helpful especially since we were planning for out of town. The online portal made everything so easy and we were able to see our proofs so soon after the wedding. The best was getting our thumbdrive about 1 month later. The team did an amazing job with the editing, we were all sweating so much on that hot August day and we all look perfect in the photos. So happy with everything!!

My husband and I found Hamilton Photography while attending the Wedding Savvy Summit this past January, and right off the bat we knew that we found our perfect wedding photographer. We worked with Christina for our engagement session, as well as on our wedding day. Communication was flawless from the get go, she was so easy to work with, and even rescheduled our engagement session in order to accommodate our desire for a bit warmer weather. My husband and I are by no means experienced in taking professional pictures, but Christina made everything feel so natural and fun! On our wedding day Christina, and our second shooter, kept everything organized and running smoothly, were so kind and considerate, and were an instrumental part of our day being as lovely as it was. Our photos came back to us earlier than expected and were so beautiful, so touching, and will be cherished forever. We can't say enough about the way Hamilton Photography is not only able to capture exceptional images, but give you an entire experience that is nothing short of phenomenal. Although they shoot several weddings a year, they truly make you feel so important and special throughout the entire process. Thank you, Christina, for being the perfect person to capture our day!

I used Hamilton Photography for my recent wedding and it was the best decision that I could have made! Christina went above and beyond to make sure that all the details of our day were captured. I was a bit discouraged due to the weather that day and wasn't sure how our pictures would turn out, but I couldn't have been more thrilled with the results. The pictures are beautiful and really capture our joy from the day. Christina and her assistant did a great job of giving us some direction to ensure we got great photos, but they also gave us space to act naturally and captured candid photos of us enjoying our wedding. They did a great job of getting our pictures very quickly after the wedding and were extremely responsive. We have had such a good time reliving our wedding day through our pictures! I highly recommend Hamilton Photography, you won't be disappointed!

I can not say enough good things about Hamilton Photography. They captured our wedding day perfectly. We did not have a videographer and after seeing our wedding pictures I am glad we did not hire one because Hamilton photography captured every moment. They even helped save the day when my dress almost ripped. They are prompt and months out we had a timeline set. My planner was able to work with them easily. If you want the best wedding pictures and pictures that will capture your day book Hamilton Photography!

So so so happy we chose Hamilton Photography for our wedding. When looking at venues, we asked each place for vendor recommendations, and since literally every place recommended Hamilton, we decided to check them out. From the initial meeting, I felt very comfortable with Mark and his style of photography. Our engagement session was great, and he was able to shoot in a variety of Annapolis locations in a short amount of time (I really appreciate how quickly Mark takes pictures!). For our wedding, Mark and Sean (second photographer) did an absolutely amazing job. Both my parents and my husband's parents are divorced and remarried, so there were a lot of family dynamics/combinations to deal with. Mark and Sean handled it all patiently, quickly, and professionally. They managed to capture every part of the day, and I never felt like they were intrusive or that I had a camera in my face. They just made us feel comfortable, and as a result we got pictures that don't feel posed or stiff. Two days after the wedding we got a sneak peek of 5 pictures, and then just 7 days after that, we got to see all 900 of our pictures in an online gallery. They are incredible and worth every penny. I would not hesitate to hire Hamilton Photography again!!

When we started planning our wedding we knew that our pictures were one of the most important things to us. It would be our way of capturing the memories that we would cherish forever. We cannot thank Hamilton Photography enough for helping us to do just that! We had our ceremony at the USNA Chapel and our reception at the Paca House and Garden. Christina and her team are very experienced with these venues. They gave us great direction and created amazing shots. We are in love our wedding pictures!

I haven't stopped looking through our wedding photos since we received them. Mark was so easy to work with and handled our event professionally. I didn't notice him during the wedding, but every moment was captured and whenever I did want a photo, I turned around and he was there. Hamilton Photography will create absolutely beautiful memories of your wedding!

I loved working with Mark and his team. I had a rough start to my wedding day, my hair and make up artists (creative images in Annapolis MD) didn't show up.... my amazing bridesmaids came together and we all help each other get ready but I was really worried it would show in the photos... well the photos are the all the proof you need to see the exceptional quality of the Hamilton photographers!

My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with Christina and her team's finished product, but the overall process was streamlined and organized - critically important to us since we were planning from the West Coast. We received excellent communication, direction, advice, and feedback from them. We loved that they know the Naval Academy inside and out and have tons of experience there, so we were completely happy with their work. Definitely choose Hamilton Photography- they were amazing. - Shelley and Joe Puishys

My wife and I were blown away by the work that Christina and her team did in capturing our special day. They were so easy to communicate with during the entire day and were the epitome of professionalism yet so laid back and fun. We had our wedding in Annapolis and arrived to the reception by sailboat; Christina didn’t miss a beat in climbing around the boat on a hot day and making sure that the lighting and background were perfect. The creativity and determination to get the perfect shot from beginning to end was very apparent in the final product. Christina and her team captured all of our favorite and memorable moments from the beginning of the day to the end of the night.

We have our 800+ photos of both us and all of our loved ones having an amazing time. We're forever thankful for the memories that they preserved for us!

We absolutely loved working with Christina. She wa so helpful throughout the entire wedding process helping me with vendors and advice way beyond a photographers normal duties. She provided an amazing photo list and we talked in detail before the wedding about all the shots we wanted so that on the wedding day I didn't have to think about it at all, she helped us get the correct groups together and posed is. The photos turned out beautiful and we will treasure them forever!

My husband and I were so impressed with Mark and Christina's work. We had them do our wedding at the USNA and the Governor Calvert House. Our pictures came out amazing. From the moment we met them we knew that we'd have a great working experience with Hamilton. A year later and I still look at the photos in aw. Highly recommend to those getting married at the USNA and in/around Annapolis. They are the best of the best.

If you are in your search for a top-notch photography team look no further. Christina was my lead and she worked seamlessly with Jason as my second photographer and they were downright phenomenal. From the very first inquiry with them, through selecting our package, to our engagement session and then working out the timeline and the details for the big day, everything was a breeze. Easy to communicate with but super professional and still yet incredibly laid back and fun. On your wedding day regardless of if all your ducks are in a row or if there are last minute hurdles you have to jump, it is going to be a morning filled with a lot of emotion and most times chaos. Despite it all, Christina and Jason were SO easy-going and didn't show even the slightest sign of being frazzled. Simply put - they know their stuff! It rained on my wedding day - the entire day with very minimal breaks in between downpours. Of course as a bride I was disappointed in that but Christina was constantly raving over the lighting she was working with and didn't let trucking around in rain boots or fumbling with an umbrella slow her down or miss a beat. They were so great about it and showed it wasn't their first rodeo with weddings in the rain. Their comfortable personas quickly made me forget that it was a wet overcast day. When selecting vendors I learned early on that having confidence and not having to micro-manage every little thing was so valuable. I did not at all doubt our decision to hire Christina from the minute we signed our contract to the final sendoff on our wedding night. If Hamilton Photography is on your radar, stop your search now. Of all the things I could criticize or say I would do differently given the chance, having Christina and Jason document our day is not one of those things. Already look forward to having another reason to hire a photographer. Babies, family photos, vow renewals.. we will be Hamilton clients for life!

Mark and his team were amazing to work with. My husband and I are from out of town and he went out of his way to accommodate us when we were in Annapolis for planning. Our pictures are absolutely stunning! And we were both impressed with how he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though we are "picture people". Also a shout-out to Danny, who had me laughing all day and feeling totally at ease before walking down the aisle. We also used their photo-booth and the guests loved the hanging picture frames and props.

I can't say enough positive things about Hamilton Photography. My husband and I used Hamilton for our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. Both sets of pictures turned out phenomenal! Mark was our photographer for both and he is very professional, personable, pleasant, and even achieved to get my husband (who HATES pictures) to smile and enjoy our shoots. Our package with Hamilton included unlimited photographer hours. I was very happy I went with this package because it allowed me to have photo coverage from 2:30pm - 10:45pm during the day of our wedding. We even received our wedding photos to view about 12 days after our wedding day which made me ecstatic! Would use Hamilton again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to any future bride.

From the complimentary engagement photo session to get to know our photographer and see how we photographed best together - to our wedding day, the Hamilton team was outstanding!

We had Jason & Heather as our photographers - a dream team! They were like Spiderman - zip-zip everywhere capturing absolutely everything, saving the day. They taught me better positioning techniques to address a couple of angle issues that I wanted to avoid! And they were so encouraging - making the day absolutely amazing. Loved their energy and spirit!!!

So yes - two thumbs up! We have our 800++ photos of both us and all of our loved ones having a fabulous time. We're forever thankful for the memories that they preserved for us!

I used the Hamilton Photography Team for their photobooth services at my wedding in lieu of giving my guests a party favor. They were a HUGE hit! Their booth was super high quality with lots of fun props. The attendants were very helpful and made the event go off without a hitch. Mark and his management team made planning for the event a breeze, I would recommend them wholeheartedly for your next event.

Jason and Virgil from Hamilton Photography were a great team to work with!! They captured every imaginable moment of our wedding and the photographs left me speechless. They were so easy going and fun to work with, and really helped guide us on how to pose and even other things like how to properly cut the cake!! The team at the office was on top of everything too. They responded to emails quickly and were just as excited for us leading up to our big day as we were! I would definitely recommend them to those searching for a photographer for wedding, engagement or portraits.

Mark is the absolute best. Very professional and so friendly. Just what you want in your photographer. It has to be the most important person involved in your wedding or other event, because after it is all over, the pictures are all you have. Mark makes you feel totally relaxed, even in the most stressful moment. Can't wait for the pictures, but have no doubt they will be beyond perfect.

I initially found hamilton photography online and met them at the Historic Inns Wedding Fair. Christina was so friendly right from the beginning! I knew we were making a good decision when we decided to use them for our wedding. I was a little nervous that we didnt do a "get to know you" engagement session with them, but all my worries were put aside within the first few minutes of their arrival. Christina was so relaxed and that made me feel so much more relaxed. She orchestrated a perfect first look for Kurt and I right outside of the State House. We then walked down the streets of annapolis with the bridal party. They gave us every direction we needed. I am anxiously awaiting to see our proofs!!! I am sure they will be breath taking! She also was willing to extend her time with us that night with only a half hour notice as we felt we wanted more coverage of everyone dancing. Again, I can't say enough about Christina and Hamilton Photography. We will definitely be using them again in the future for any photography needs!

Hamilton Photography shot our wedding in Annapolis. They were on the Naval Academy venue list and they belong there! They were great and our pictures turned out amazing. Mark had several calls with my husband and me to figure out what photos we wanted and how we would arrange the timeline. He was very helpful and offered lots of flexibility.

They have materials such as a shot list to give you a starting point to customize your day.

Jason was great to work with as a photographer. He gave the right amount of direction to go along with our input while taking pictures. He was quick and he and his team captured many great moments. He knew the Naval Academy, Annapolis and Carrol's Creek well and guided us directly to great backgrounds. He was also great with younger kids.

They were worth every penny!

Hamilton was very easy to communicate with. Overall, the day of Danny and the second photographer (very nice guy) were extremely flexible with our timeline and the fact I was not feeling well. Also, our wedding planner was "missing" during our family photos and we needed someone to delegate a divorced family and who paired with who, etc. Danny and his assistant were very understanding and very patient. The only thing I regret not requesting was to get photos of individual tables at the event, we had over 240 people. Also, I wish my husband and I had our "couples" photos taken by the water background verse some greenery/shrubbery background, but that may have been my fault for not requesting it. Overall, your money is well spent with Hamilton and I am very pleased looking back at my wedding photos.

Hamilton Photography did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding day and exceeded all of our expectations! We had seen their work before and were very impressed with their unique style. Everyone should keep in mind that the photography is one of the few tangible things that lasts after a wedding is long past and Hamilton Photography will not disappoint!

We had a great experience doing our engagement photo shoot with Jason and are thrilled with the save the date cards Becca designed. All around great experiences and we can't wait to see what they do with our wedding day photography!

Hamilton Photography was simply outstanding to work with! The owner, (Mark) and his assistant (Jason), put us at ease and made our day so much more fun and memorable!

With Marks eye for detail and 'outside of the box' thinking, he came up with some truly breathtaking shots. We really appreciated their creativity and professionalism as well. Our photos turned out so well that not one, but TWO bridal magazines featured our wedding!...everything was perfect!

Their entire team is so friendly and down to earth. You can genuinely see the care and compassion they have not only for their craft, but also for their clients!

If you're looking for something different, fresh, modern and just all around awesome...Hamilton Photography is where it's at! Thank you Mark, Jason and the entire Hamilton Photography family, you're the best!

Hamilton Photography was recommended to us by our wedding venue (Silver Swan Bayside) and it was the best recommendation we received! Specifically, we worked with Mark and Chris. They were amazing from start to finish. During the planning process, they answered all of my questions and were so helpful! I received a planning form where I could note specific pictures I wanted and subtract the ones I did not want. On the actual wedding day, we got every single picture we asked for and we were done with photos so quickly that we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Before the ceremony started, we were done with most of our pictures so we got to enjoy our cocktail hour after the ceremony. It was perfect!

Throughout the night, I forgot that Mark and Chris were even there! They were so unobtrusive and stayed out of the way of us interacting with our guests. Best of all, we received our pictures online only 10 days after the wedding! And our thumb drive with the pictures was mailed to us about a month after the wedding. It was so quick and the quality of the pictures were flawless!

Our guests have not stopped talking about our photographers and pictures and our wedding venue. Everything was absolutely amazing from beginning to end and we could not have had such a perfect day without Hamilton Photography!

We absolutely LOVE Hamilton Photography!!! Many of my siblings have used Hamilton Photography. My parents have always been impressed with them, so it was a no-brainer of who I wanted my photographer to be!
Mark called me about 1-2 months before the wedding and is just the most pleasant person you could imagine. He is so easy going and definitely calmed my nerves about what type of pictures I wanted. He helped us figure out the photography "time-line" and he easily allowed us to make adjustments to the contract time so we had them long enough to get the cake cutting.
The day of the wedding, Jason was awesome!!! We had a HUGE bridal party of 23, and 8 flower girls and 3 ring bearers (all family..). Jason was so good with the little ones, and also with the rowdy bridesmaids/groomsmen. He has some kind of patience!!! It was SUCH a hot day too and he kept on his nice blazer the whole time!
I am completely awkward in pictures, but he made me and everyone else feel so comfortable! We just got the pictures back today and they are AMAZING!!!! Thank you Hamilton Photography! We love you guys!

Mark Hamilton and team were amazing. Mark worked with me from the beginning to determine what type of photographer I wanted and the timeline of the day, he was always checking in to make sure that we had finalized everything on time. He worked quickly and professionally on the day of the wedding and got us to our reception on time and I have the most amazing pictures. Pictures were on an online proof very quick for family members to view and purchase. The places in downtown Annapolis that he thinks to take pictures are so creative and he truely knows the area and how to capture it. Many of our pictures were not just posed snapshots but pictures that captured the emotion of the day. I could not be happier.

It is with full confidence that I recommend Hamilton Photography to any bride, expecting mother, engaged couples...the list goes on!

Mark was fantastic and so easy to work with. He captured amazing engagement shots as well as photos from our wedding day.Our Engagement shoot was great in downtown Annapolis and Mark was even willing to incorporate our two small and sometimes difficult dogs in a few of our shots. Mark was effortlessly easy to work with, made us feel comfortable, and was fun.

Our big day was captured in full exposure thanks to Hamilton Photography. Mark and his partner Danny were talented, thorough, and blended seamlessly into our crowd of family and friends.... we couldn't tell they were even there, yet they didn't miss a thing!

The day of our wedding came and went, but thanks to Hamilton Photography, we will always remember each and every moment from our big day! They did a great job!!

My husband and I used Hamilton Photography for our recent wedding in June. They are absolutely the most experienced, talented, professional and friendly photographers I have ever worked with. Your photographs are the only remaining piece of your wedding day, so I would highly recommend Hamilton to anyone for an important event that you wish to capture forever. They had an immense amount of experience which is evident through their work. They were very attentive to our needs and every photo that we requested they captured. They knew exactly what we wanted and they made our wedding day so easy. They made me and husband very comfortable behind the camera and I absolutely couldn't be happier. Overall, I would definitely recommend Hamilton and I would use them again!

Honestly, what more can I say about Mark.
He. Was. Wonderful.
I dont know how he manages to make me look better than I am, time and time again. Mark was a pleasure to work with. He is a an absolute professional, and was able to couch us ( we are but mere novice models!) while still being flexible and creative with us. We had asked for some artsy shots on the spot at some of our photo shoots and he happily obliged us and turned it into something very special for my husband and I. The day of our wedding could not have gone better. He gently kicked us into shape when we were running late (I appreciated that!) and captured ALL of our most intimate and fleeting moments that we tought had gone unnoticed.
So far I have given out Mark's contact info to a few of my friends and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is the BEST!

Christina was recommended to me through the hotel where we got married (Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, MD). She was very responsive to any questions I had, and arrived right on time the day of the wedding. I especially liked how she was kind of "no nonsense" and got the pictures done so we would be able to go and enjoy our wedding!

We worked with Mark and Christina for our Baltimore wedding a few weeks ago and they were both fantastic. We had heard great things about them from our venue and they exceeded our expectations. Both Mark and Christina were extremely professional, fun to be around, and totally non-obtrusive during the pre-wedding festivities, ceremony, and reception. They were super-flexible with our timeline and we ended up with a great variety of shots and poses. We got some amazing shots on the bridge from our venue to the inner harbor that were totally unexpected but really pretty, some of our favorites from the day. We also were excited to come back from our honeymoon two weeks later to an email from Mark letting us know that our shots were available online already! The turnaround time was so quick and it was such a treat to see them right away. They were on the pricier end of photographers that we saw, but they were worth every penny, especially for the quality and response that we received. We would definitely recommend Hamilton!

Hamilton photography is amazing! We can't be any happier with our breath taking photos. They captured every little moment down to the finest detail. We had the honor of working with mark and christina. They made us feel so comfortable and we had a blast working with them. From our engagement photos to our wedding day photos they were able to capture the most precious moments in our life. If you want to feel comfortable infront of the camera and have photos that take your breath away... Hamilton photography is your photographer!

Hamilton Photography takes some of the best wedding pictures I have ever seen. They are professional and easy to work with. They arrived early and were efficient in getting all the shots done so we could get to our reception. Their artistic flare is original and created classic masterpieces! We had all of our pictures available within 10 days of our wedding! They were one of the easiest vendors to work with both pre and post wedding! I can not thank Hamilton photography enough for capturing our special day! Book them early!!

Picking your photographer is one of the hardest things to decide on as a bride (at least in my opinion). You rely on them to capture all of the special moments of the day from the little details to everything you didn't even think of. Hamilton did an excellent job in doing all of that for us! We had the biggest bridal party ever (23 including us), so it was no easy task for those pictures. The day goes by way too fast and they were able to keep me on target so that we didn't miss a beat! I would highly recommend Hamilton Photography to anyone!

Loved working with Christina. She really got us. Love her work and the way our pictures came out, but loved the fact that she will give you rights to the photos to print them as you see fit even more. Would recommend her to anyone.

Mark and his assistant fit right in at our wedding. We got our wedding photos back in two weeks! Everything looked fantastic and they were able to get some very unique shots. I am a fan of the photojournalistic style of photography and they did a great job of capturing some of the best parts of our wedding. Mark was very easy to get a hold of before the wedding which definitely made life less stressful. He even saved our wedding thank you card photo by arranging a last minute prop for us to hold. He had our planner write thank you in calligraphy on a books pread and so far it's one of my favorite photos.

I cannot say enough good things about Christina! She is a phenomenal photographer and made sure our wedding pictures were as beautiful as possible. I did not dream my pictures would be so beautiful. I recommended her to two friends of mine and cannot wait to see their pictures!

I met Mark from Hamilton Photography at a bridal fair in Annapolis last year and immediately felt comfortable with him. Initially it was his photographs that had me stop at their table. I spoke with my fiance when I got home about my great impression of Hamilton Photography's work and we decided to go with them for our wedding photos. We made our appointment with Christina shortly thereafter who was extremely welcoming and friendly. Right away she put us at ease. The day of our wedding Hurricane Irene decided to show up but Christina was there for us nonetheless. Not only did she take wonderful pictures to document our day, but she even went out of her way to help, at times organizing the family, reassuring us when our nerves threatened to overwhelm us and even with the bustling of my wedding gown. When we finally received out photographs we were so pleased at how candid and modern they were. We would highly recommend Hamilton Photography for anyone looking to document their special event. It was a wonderful and memorable experience working with them.

Other than my husband being at the alter on time, photography was the most important part of my wedding day. I'm a photographer and I had very high expectations for my wedding. I also had some concerns about taking family photographs. When I met with Christina I instantly felt at ease. She addressed my concerns and came up with a plan right away so there wouldn't be any issues. Although she and her husband were already booked for the day of our wedding they had another photographer that was still available. I don't even know where to start, Jason was truly amazing. He went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only was he taking pictures but he saran wrapped the rhinestones on my shoes so they didn't snag the front of my dress. He also ran and told the DJ to stop playing music once our officiant had started talking. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and did a great job of working quickly and efficiently. He was even kind enough to show us a few images along the way. If I had to do it all over again I would hire Jason to plan the entire wedding! If the photos on your wedding day are one of the most important things to you than I highly recommend hiring Hamilton Photography. I have not seen the edited images yet but I already know I am going to LOVE them.

Christina and Mark were professional, accomodating, patient, fun to work with, and amazing. They took their time taking professional and timeless photos of our wedding. We have so many great photos from the wedding, it has made it hard to pick a favorite. Overall, working with Hamilton Photography was wonderful. Thanks again!!!

Hamilton Photography was truly a pleasure to work with. They did an amazing job from start to finish. Christina even allowed us a 2nd evening for our engagement photo session because it started raining during the first one. We were thrilled with the quality and quantity of photos from pre-wedding events through the reception. We would certainly recommend Hamilton Photography to anybody who wants to beautifully capture their special moments on their wedding day.

We found Hamilton upon recommendation, and selecting Hamilton for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Jason of Hamilton Photography was our lead photographer, and we were lucky to have him. The photos that Jason took are gorgeous. The photos are timeless and "of the moment," which is exactly the style we had requested when we met with Hamilton. They delivered our memories with the best customer service out of all of our selected wedding vendors.

We can't say enough about Jason's professionalism, courtesy, and his quiet ability to be in the middle of every moment -- without us even always realizing that he was there with the camera. Even while my aunt and other relatives kept getting in the way with their personal cameras, Jason patiently handled the family members and let them "do their thing" while Jason was still getting the best shots with HIS most important equipment. :-) If I could have my wedding day back, I would first and foremost hire Hamilton Photography and Jason all over again.

Hamilton Photography did such a wonderful job with our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. I had met with several photographers before meeting with Hamilton, and when my husband and I met with Christina Hamilton, it just clicked. She is so personable and her work is amazing. Her second photographer was extremely skilled as well and took some beautiful pictures. Anyone who has seen our pictures since the wedding has been so impressed. I would highly recommend them.

Christina Hamilton and her partner on our day Rachel, were FANTASTIC. So professional and so talented. I just saw the few sneak peaks from my wedding day that she posted on facebook, and they are amazing!! Everyone remarked about how hard our photographers were working at the reception to get shots...standing on chairs, etc etc doing whatever they could to be inconspicuous but getting the perfect candid shot! I would recommend them to ANYONE. So happy I chose Hamilton Photography for my wedding day :)

If I could go up to 10's across the board I would! I am not usually a fan of having my picture taken and I was nervous about 8 hours of them, but every second was worth it. They made me feel so comfortable and put my phobias to rest. I would highly recommend Hamilton Photography to anyone that wants the best view of their day!

Hamilton photography was wonderful! from the very beginning it was such a great experience, the first meeting had many many samples of their beautiful work and we discussed their packages. they always got back to us right away with any question through email and phone call and helped me with the timeline of the wedding day!
Mark was so amazing and took care of everything the wedding day, telling the bridal party where to be and when we needed who to be ready for photos. The pictures were absolutely amazing and we are so excited to get our album back! i would 100% recommend them!!

We used Hamilton for our wedding, Mark & Christina were both great! Leading up to "the big day" Hamilton made everything stress free and the actual wedding day, there are hardly words to describe how easy they made everything. They captured so many moments and details that both my husband and I overlooked.
Our pictures turned out amazing and the turn around time was very quick. I highly recommend Hamilton.

Hamilton Photography represents the highest level of professionalism I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. They were attentive in every aspect of our wedding, from the beginning to the end. They photographed our recent wedding on 10/10/10 on the beach in Puerto Rico and were absolutely amazing. I had gone to several different bridal shows here in the Maryland area. It was during the very first bridal show that I met them, and it was that first encounter that I compared every other photographer to for my next several shows. Each time…I went back to that “warm and fuzzy” feeling I was left with following my first discussion with them. It was no time at all before I realized they were the photographers for my wedding.

You could feel the passion they have for the work that they do. You can hear in the way they talk about the weddings they’ve worked, you can see in their eyes… As a bride, it was extremely important for me to know that I selected photographers that didn’t make me feel like a number, or just another bride on their schedule. When you’re with them, you feel like family…because that’s the type of photographers they are. They’re not only patient…but they took charge; which can be a well-needed attribute when you have distracted wedding party members during the picture taking session following the wedding ceremony. They blended in like family, took some amazing pictures and I will most definitely recommend them hands down had I to do it all over again.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Hamilton Photography! I first met with Christina at a bridal show and was totally impressed not only with her but also her pictures. My mom and I had a follow up meeting with her at the studio and her slide show brought both of us to tears! We were lucky to have both Christina and Mark shoot our wedding. They are both extremely down to earth, personable, friendly and just plain easy to be around. With all the stress and craziness of the day, they really made everyone feel relaxed. While getting dressed, my 3 flower girls were running around the hotel room playing and jumping on the bed making it difficult for the ladies to get dress. Mark was so great with them. He took advantage of the moment and the girls totally hammed it up, allowing Christina to get pictures of me getting ready. We got our pictures back quickly and they came out amazing. They are exactly what we hoped they would be. They captured every moment (without us knowing they were there)! We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Hamilton and we HIGHLY recommend them!

Mark & Christina shot our wedding and did a GREAT job. They were awesome to work with and we got amazing pictures in return. Not only did they listen to us and make sure we got every shot we wanted, but they also suggested some great ones. In fact, the last minute shots they added turned out to be our favorites! I highly recommend them!

Hamilton photography did a great job at my wedding. The photos speak for themselves. I was worried about the dim lighting at my wedding location, and they even scheduled a walkthrough with me at the location to figure out different angles & picture ideas. Mark & Christina are extremely easy and fun to work with. Since our first meeting, looking at their previous work, I know they will make my wedding photos look gorgeous. On the day of the wedding, the weather was fantastic and we took a lot of pictures. To a point where I was asking them how many more are we taking? Looking at the pictures now, I wish we could’ve taken more. :) They did such a wonderful job! I was super nervous & stress out on my wedding day. It was great to see Christina and Mark’s friendly faces. They really have a way to calm my nerves, and let me know that I am in good hands. I would highly recommend Hamilton photography for any future brides!

I had the pleasure to work with Christina (lead photographer) and Jason (second photographer). Christina shot my engagment session at Quiet Waters Park and my wedding. It was a true pleasure to work with Hamilton Photography. When my wedding date had to change, they were flexible and able to handle my new date and new reception venue. The photographs that they shot were beyond fabulous. I had said before the wedding that I thought it was important to spend money on quality items that last - like one's wedding pictures. They have the perfect blend of artistic and traditional wedding pictures. I am so happy I went with Hamilton photography.

I used Hamilton Photography for my engagement and wedding photographs.

Booking a photographer for the wedding was our first priority after we set a date and even before we selected a venue. I just knew I had to have the best photographer to capture this very important day so that for years to come I would always have AMAZING photographs to adore. I looked at hundreds of photographers online and at many bridal shows before selecting Hamilton Photography because I knew I had to have a fabulous photographer with a great eye for making gorgeous photographs, and trust me Hamilton Photography was THAT photographer for us.

There is really no word to describe how stunning our photographs are. We have received SO many compliments on them and to top it off MANY of my other vendors from the wedding are now using our wedding photographs from Hamilton Photography for advertising because they turned out so incredible.

It was truly blast working with Hamilton Photography. Mark Hamilton and his assistant photographers are fantastic to work with. They are incredibly energetic and a fun to be around and not to mention TALENTED. I would recommend Hamilton Photography to everyone.

Also my biggest advice to brides is to hire a photographer who has the ability to have a second photographer because I absolutely loved having two photographers because I have two views of everything and I equally love both photographers shots. And each of Hamilton Photographys packages come with two photographers.

I met Mark and his wife at the Baltimore Bridal expo and was amazed by his portfolio. After looking around at some of the other available photographers, I booked him right there at the bridal show! Not only was he more reasonably priced than most of the other photographers, but he provided more as well. Our package included an unlimited amount of time the photographers were available on the day of the wedding, as well as an unlimited amount of photos which would be shot.

The photographers were extremely professional, fun to work with, dressed appropriately for the wedding, and captured everything we wanted or could have imagined. There were so many unique photos that I did not expect, we were so amazed when we looked through the proofs. Which, by the way, became available online while we were on our honeymoon. Our printed proofs were available within about two months and our album within 4 months. I had our album before I even got our video from the videographer.

I could not be more pleased with our album, and we get nothing but the highest praise when we show it off. The "proof" of our album was sent to me online first. I had a slightly different image of how the album should look, sent back what I wanted changed which ended up being most of the album, and I was sent back the "new" album within a week. It was absolutely perfect and exactly how I envisioned.
I would absolutely recommend Hamilton photography to anyone looking for a photographer. We will be using them in the future for other occasions.

We met Mark with Hamilton Photography at a bridal expo and were extremely impressed by his portfolio. We compared his work to many others at the expo and vendors we had met on other occasions. By far his photography captured more precious moments and truly told the story of the couples that we had never met. It is very hard to describe, but when you can almost feel the joy and beauty of someone else's wedding through their photos it is quite amazing. We also found that as we compared other vendors, Mark was the most reasonably priced and provided the most value. Many other vendors nickeled and dimed you for high quality coffee table albums, the number of photos and photographers present. Mark provided all of these things at a very reasonable price.

I have been so incredibly pleased by our pictures and the beautiful album we helped him design. I show it off at every opportunity and it has already been 2 years since our wedding! I refer all of my engaged friends to him and will definitely use him in the future when we decide to expand our family!!

My husband and I loved our wedding photos from Hamilton!

Mark Hamilton was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process, from the personal meeting at his home all the way to acting as our photographer on our wedding day. Hamilton requires that you complete a "shot list" of requested poses prior to your wedding day, but be sure to be thorough; although Mark was able to accommodate many requests on-the-fly, there were poses we wished we would have had once we received our pictures (and likely would have had if we had put them on the list).

We were extremely impressed by his professionalism and the quality of our photos, and we couldn't believe how quickly he worked the day of the wedding. Mark also allowed us to take a variety of pictures that we didn't previously anticipate because he saved so much time.

Hamilton offers a variety of packages starting from around $3,000, and increasing in price as more options are added. Our only (minor) complaint was that the packages are a bit pricey, but that seems to be the market for high quality photos, and they were well worth it. We would definitely recommend Mark and his team!

There is no better choice than Hamilton Photography. My husband and I were lucky to have Mark and his team photograph our wedding this past November and couldn't be happier with the images we received. Having worked with our venue before, Mark knew the ideal locations for pictures and was so efficient that we enjoyed most of our cocktail hour with our guests. Mark and his team were the utmost professionals and it did not go unnoticed by our guests or bridal party who offered endless compliments.

My husband and I met with several photographers and Hamilton Photography immediately impressed us with their professionalism. We were looking for a less formal style and as a result came across alot of people who seem really talented but didn't always wow us with the business side of things. Our first meeting was so well-organized and they have tons of examples of their work available. There was a slight mix-up when we were signing the contract which was hardly a problem at all and they were quick to let us know about it, fix it, and offer a more than generous make-good. We worked with Christina for our engagement session and the wedding. She's so efficient and truly a pleasure to work with. When my husband and I were reviewing the photos, we realized we never even noticed she was around during the wedding! Everything turned out beatifully and I keep looking at the pictures over and over. Photography is definitely an aspect of the wedding where you need to have complete faith in your vendors and we felt exactly that way about Hamilton Photography.
