Professional Wedding Photography: From Capturing Moments to Technical Excellence
Your wedding day is a story waiting to be told through the lens of a passionate photographer. I combine documentary photography and classic styles with the touch of a fine art for creating beautiful and timeless photographs at weddings. Whether you're tying the knot in the heart of downtown, on one of our stunning beaches, or amidst the lush forests, I've got you covered. My goal is to provide you with a memorable experience that captures the raw emotion and beauty of your relationship.
Real Wedding Stories: Samantha & Andrew
Samantha & Andrew are seriously the cutest! I just love when a couple can’t stop smiling at each other and that is these two all the way. It was just so evident how excited they were to be marrying one another. Samantha & Andrew’s wedding was at the Garden House at the Elkridge Furnace Inn in Howard County, Maryland. The Garden House is a new part of Elkridge Furnace Inn and is absolutely perfect if you are having a smaller wedding. It truly was a magical day!
Understanding Technical Standards: High-Resolution vs. Low-Resolution
You probably heard about low-resolution and high-resolution photos. Because the term “high-resolution” is usually associated with high quality, many people believe “low-resolution” is something bad that they should avoid. When it comes to wedding photos, people think high-resolution photos are the only ones they must have. Although we agree with you that high-resolution is (usually) better than low-resolution, the question we want you to answer is “Where will your photos end up?”
Comparison of Photo Resolutions
To help you decide which format suits your needs, consider the following data based on real-life behaviors:
| Feature | Low-Resolution | High-Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Best Use | Online viewing, social networks, mobile devices | Large prints, albums, canvas |
| File Size | Smaller (saves data and time) | Larger (requires more storage/upload time) |
| Loading Speed | Faster loading on the internet | Slower loading speeds |
| Visual Quality | No noticeable difference online | Required for full-page prints |
When to Choose High-Resolution
If you plan to print them big, high-resolution is the better choice. The biggest difference between high-res and low-res is when you make large prints (album, canvas). In general, although high-res is better for printing, not all prints need high-res. However, it is important to remember:
- High-resolution doesn’t guarantee high-quality print.
- High-resolution will not make high-quality prints if they are not captured correctly (blurry, poor exposure, lots of noise, etc.).
- If you don’t know what you are going to do with your photos, get high-res photos in case you need to print them in the future.
When to Use Low-Resolution
Short answer: if you view your photos on online, and never make large prints from them, low-resolution is sufficient and even better than high-resolution. Low-res is smaller in file size, which is good for uploading and sharing online. All photos we share online (website, Facebook, Instagram) are the low-res version to save you lots of data and time. There is no noticeable difference between low-resolution and high-resolution viewing online.

I offer a range of wedding photography packages that suit your needs and budget, ensuring you get the best value for your special day. Some photographers charge for high-resolution photos because it takes more time and costs more to produce and deliver high-res photos (export, upload, storage, etc.). Whether you use your photos online or print large, high-res or low-res, it depends on what you use them for.
