    A night remembered in photos

    Mary Ellen has a great eye. She’s personable, funny and obviously enjoys her job and that makes the event more fun for the hosts. Mary Ellen is professional and can handle even the rudest event planner with discretion and in a way that gets her full access and her deserved respect. My total thanks and all my love and best wishes to Mary Ellen.

    Simply the best!

    Choosing the right photographer can be downright nerve -wracking! After all, they're the ones capturing the biggest day of your life! As soon as we met with Mary Ellen and Danny, I knew for sure we picked the best photographer for us. We had an instant chemistry, she made us feel so comfortable, and was very professional. What I loved most was how she became more of a friend and not just a vendor. As the wedding came closer she was always in contact with me and offered feedback and support that went beyond being our photographer. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY and we could not have been happier! Thank you, Mary Ellen for your amazing work!

    PERFECTION! Could not be happier!!

    Mary Ellen and Danny both went above and beyond to make our day perfect! She did our engagement photos, made sure we got the most magical shots by the sunset on the wedding day, and I plan to reach out to her anytime I need professional photos in the future. I've already recommended her to friends and I say without doubt they won't be disappointed with her services and talent! I can't rave about her enough - her prices, her above-and-beyond efforts to make sure her clients are happy, and how comfortable she makes you feel from flexible scheduling, to making the meetings so much fun, to capturing every photo on your list on the big day!

    Absolutely the Best!

    Mary Ellen is an amazing photographer and person. I absolutely love her and Danny! She is so much more than a photographer, she is a great friend! She recommended so many of our wedding vendors and made the entire experience extremely easy. I loved all of our photos (engagement and wedding) and now she takes beautiful photos of our family. We would never trust anyone else to do any of our photos.

    It was a pleasure working with Mary Ellen and Danny for our engagement session and wedding pictures. They are creative and engaging, and they get the greatest shots! Mary Ellen is very responsive and flexible, willing to find times that worked best for our busy schedule. And she was a great help the day of the wedding to keep me relaxed and enjoying the process. I highly recommend!

    Perfect! Couldn’t ask for any better!

    Maryellen is the best! Not only did she do our wedding and engagement pictures but she also has done our family pictures. She is very creative, friendly and flexible. Our pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone I know.

    The very best!!

    We love MaryEllen and Danny so much!! They handled our engagement photos and our wedding photos. I always thought photo shoots were going to be awkward and uncomfortable but the second you meet MaryEllen those thoughts go away. She is so nice, kind and easy going. She has such an eye for the perfect spot, lighting, and pose for photos. She was able to direct our entire engagement shoot and had us laughing and feeling at ease the whole time. She really listened to what we wanted and the type of vibe we were going for and helped out for my outfit change as well lol. We never felt rushed or on a time line at all. It was like hanging out with an old friend. When it came time for our wedding, MaryEllen was so on top of things and we were able to go over everything beforehand so we were all on the same timeline. She is extremely responsive and helpful with any questions I had. She was there to take pictures of my bridesmaids and I getting ready and then headed off to our wedding location to get shots of everything before people got there. She even helped me figure out how to put on my veil and how to do my bustle! I can’t even begin to put into words how happy I am with our wedding photos. She got every single photo I wanted plus a million more. It was like reliving my wedding in her photos! Half the time I don’t even remember seeing her taking the picture that’s how good she is! The guests loved MaryEllen and Danny because they were so nice, professional but also really fun. They weren’t pushy or rude and didn’t demand photos like some wedding photographers do. She edits and gets the photos back to you in excellent time. I’ve recommended MaryEllen Otter photography to everyone I know. I can’t wait to use them in the future for maternity shoots and family photos. They are now part of our family. You will be so happy you chose MaryEllen as your photographer for your special day.

    Mary Ellen and Danny are absolutely fantastic. I hate having my photo taken and generally consider myself to be pretty un-photogenic, but they put me so at ease that we loved every one of our photos. They took the time to get a sense of what we wanted captured, the style we liked, and our personalities and used all of that information to capture the spirit of our event. Mary Ellen and Danny got every single shot we asked for and more and all of our guests LOVED them. They were helpful, professional, fun, and warm. They care so deeply about every couple they work with and you see it reflected in the end result.

    Mary Ellen was absolutely great, and we couldn't have asked for anything more in a wedding photographer! Her personality, professionalism, and passion for what she does really shows through! She and her partner Danny made my wife and I feel completely comfortable all day long, and also let us relish in the moments throughout the day. Mary Ellen showed up hours before the wedding to take pictures of my wife and her bridesmaids while they were getting ready, and stayed late into the afternoon to capture photos of our reception (which went an hour long), much longer than she was required to! The photos Mary Ellen and Danny took turned out great, and my wife and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for wedding photographers in Maryland!

    Mary Ellen worked with us prior to the wedding to know exactly what we wanted and she was on point! From our engagement photos to the wedding day, we've loved every photo! I've never seen a photographer able to capture every moment and every detail of the wedding the way she did. Her creativity and knowledge is incredible! We can't stop looking at the pictures and everyone loves them! We really have the entire wedding captured, and since the day flies by before your eyes, the photos are so important. We can't thank Mary Ellen enough!

    This photographer took excellent and outstanding photos of my wedding, and even helped me and my wedding party during the event. She and her partner were fantastic!
