Wedding Photography in Annapolis, Maryland

Annapolis offers a timeless and meaningful setting for weddings, blending historic charm with iconic waterfront views. From intimate downtown celebrations to waterfront estates and classic Maryland venues, Annapolis weddings are rich with story, and that’s what we’re drawn to most as photographers.

As Annapolis wedding photographers, we understand how to work with the natural light, locations, and flow of a wedding day in this city, capturing moments as they unfold naturally rather than staging or directing them.

Downtown Annapolis & Waterfront Wedding Venues

We’ve photographed weddings throughout Annapolis and love the variety this city offers couples planning their celebration. Some of our favorite Annapolis wedding venues and locations include:

Each venue brings its own rhythm and energy, and our documentary approach allows us to adapt seamlessly to the day as it unfolds.

Our Documentary Approach to Wedding Photography

Our approach to wedding photography is unobtrusive, story-driven, and rooted in connection. Rather than directing every moment, we focus on observing and documenting what’s real — the quiet in-between moments, the emotional exchanges, and the joy shared with the people who matter most.

This style is especially well-suited to Annapolis weddings, where the beauty of the surroundings and the intimacy of the day naturally take center stage.

She has an eye for the small details, big moments and capturing raw moments of emotion! She cares so deeply and her work reflects this. She made every step of the way such a smooth and natural process for us!!! We bonded over our faith which meant the absolute world to my husband and I - her love for others shines through her!!"

  • "What truly sets Kemp Collective apart is their commitment to over-delivering on their promises.

  • "I don't have the words to fully express how wonderful it is to work with Kemp Collective. They were incredible every step of the way, from the initial consultation to the delivery of our photos (and SO much fun to work with on our wedding day!). I am decidedly NOT a natural in front of a camera, but you'd never know it — Erin has a real knack for making you feel comfortable and confident, which shines through in a final product that feels sincere, unposed, and just truly stunning. I cannot recommend Kemp Collective highly enough!"

    —Kaytee, 2024 Bride

  • "I’d recommend Kemp Collective to anyone! Erin and Jonathan are extremely talented photographers and just all around great humans to work with. They photographed our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. They helped us knock out formal photos quickly and easily so we could enjoy the day with our friends and family while they captured all of the special moments and interactions along the way. I’m so thankful to have used Kemp Collective for our wedding!"
