Laura McMullin Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

I’m Laura - a photographer and lifelong storyteller who believes that being human is the art. I create imagery for people who don’t always see themselves in traditional photography: the dreamers, the artists, the misfits, and anyone still reaching for the clouds. My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
We honestly feel so lucky to have booked Laura; she was just the perfect fit for our wedding. She has a true gift for bringing the candid smiles out of people, and made the experience easy, fun, and memorable. There's no, "I feel awkward in front of a camera" with Laura--she makes everyone feel so comfortable and confident. If you want to feel like a partner in your own wedding's photo journey, then Laura is the perfect choice. We were beyond pleased with how all of our photos came out, and hope to work with her again someday for other milestones!

  • Serves Shady Side, MD

We love working with smart, light hearted, fun, and easy going people. Searching out natural light wherever possible we take an energetic and vibrant approach to photography. We stay true to who we are by maintaining a creative vision throughout your wedding day.

We first met Wendy a few weeks before our wedding to do a walkthrough of the venue, and instantly fell in love with her. We knew right away that she would be a dream to work with on our wedding day, and we were right! Wendy and Liz made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and kept us laughing and giggling right from the very beginning. The photos were so amazing! They were clear and beautiful and there was a wonderful balance of both candid and posed photos that captured the details of the day. We got pregnant soon after getting married and when our son was born, there was not a second of hesitation in choosing Wendy for our newborn photos. Once again, Wendy and Liz showed up with the same positive and high energy attitudes that we experienced on our wedding day, and the photos captured our son Charlie perfectly. We have since done a mini-shoot for holiday cards and another newborn photo shoot. Every time, Alex and I have to debate over which picture is the BEST to use because there are so many great ones. Beware - if you do a mini-shoot you will want to buy all of the photos :) Wendy and Liz are fun, passionate, caring and patient. They will do anything to get the perfect shot and put you completely at ease. They have been such an integral part of capturing important moments in our family from day one. Hopefully you will get to experience the same pleasure of working with them that we have.

The team brought honesty and heart to their work and it shows. Every photo has feeling, not just pretty poses. The documentary edit of our ceremony captured subtle exchanges so well a glance here, a smile there. They were patient with last-minute changes and kind to everyone involved. The color work is lovely and doesn’t scream trendy, which I love. We received both digital files and a premium album and everything was packaged beautifully.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Every glance between them told a story. The bride looked stunning, and the groom’s eyes shone with love. Their vows were emotional and funny, making everyone laugh and cry simultaneously.

Working with Villa Li Photography for our wedding photos made the day amazing! Wedding photos are something that we knew we only had one chance to get right, and thanks to Villa, we have a beautiful recap of our day. From the moment we engaged with Villa we knew we had the right sense of style and organization that would capture the moment. Villa has an incredible sense of style and ability to focus on the subject and the background for the perfect composition. She has an arsenal of equipment that can be used for any setting to help adjust the light and filters to make everyone look their best! During our festivities, we had multiple venues that we needed to capture and some of those spaces were in residential homes. Villa was able to adapt to each situation and executed the photos to perfection! We love looking at what she captured in the homes that was part of our day. Not only that, but Villa also adapted to outdoor settings and then back inside for the reception venue. We covered all angles with her! Throughout the day she was calming and worked the venues to get the best photos. One of the wonderful things was her ability to get the candid shots of our guests which helped us show what a great day everyone had! Villa has a great way to share the photos and edits after the festivities. She is prompt and communicative even after the excitement has subsided. We were overjoyed with the final outcome! Whether you are getting married or need any photography assistance, make sure you speak with Villa to discuss your requirements and how she can deliver them as perfectly as she did for us! Thank you, Villa!

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie was truly one of the best parts of our wedding day. She didn’t just capture the most beautiful moments — she helped create them. From the very beginning, she made me feel so comfortable and confident, which meant so much because I usually hate being in front of the camera. She has such a calm, kind, and encouraging presence that instantly puts everyone at ease. Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about her for days after the wedding — not just because of her talent, but because of the energy and joy she brought to the day. Natalie isn’t just a photographer; she genuinely feels like a friend who’s in your corner, cheering you on and making sure every memory is preserved perfectly. When we got our sneak peeks back, I was completely blown away. Every image transported me right back to those moments — the laughter, the love, the emotion — everything. Her photos allow me to relive the day over and over again, and I’m endlessly grateful for that. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel confident, capture your love story authentically, and go above and beyond to make your day special, Natalie is the one. I can’t recommend her enough.

I can’t begin to express how incredible Katie was as our photographer. She has a true gift for finding beauty in every moment and making the most of whatever the day brings. Our wedding was overcast, but instead of feeling dreary, she transformed it into something absolutely enchanting. The photos we’ve received so far are stunning, and I cannot wait to see the rest. One of my favorite parts of working with Katie was the included engagement shoot. It gave us the chance to get to know her, get comfortable in front of the camera, and establish such a natural connection before the big day. That comfort and familiarity truly showed in our wedding photos. Katie has an amazing ability to use natural light, especially the sun, to her advantage. It was everything I hoped for and more. She’s also incredibly skilled at using her surroundings, even when the elements are less than ideal, to create something breathtaking. My husband and I are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories she’s captured for us. We will cherish these images for the rest of our lives. I recommend Katie wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a photographer who’s not only talented, but truly magical behind the lens.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

You can tell they genuinely care about their couples — that love shines through in every single image. Mike & Team—thank you so much for being apart of our big day, we’ll cherish these photos forever!!

I will always grateful to her and her expertise from our engagement session to our wedding day. We 3 AP Photography
