Hamilton Photography

Hamilton Photography just took pictures for my son's wedding and the pictures are stunning!!! Just go to their Facebook page to see their photos. Mark put together a schedule to capture all the key moments of the day that included shots I hadn't even thought to consider. Mark and Christine kept all the various shoots on schedule such that the wedding even started 2 minutes early! We just received all of the photos and everyone who has seen them is amazed at how beautiful they are. The pictures include a nice mix of posed and candid pictures before the wedding and at the reception. They knew all the best water settings in Annapolis and buildings at the Naval Academy to capture all the most beautiful pictures. They turned around the photos extremely quickly. We had them within 10 days after the wedding. Mark even remembered the special group shots that I had wanted during the reception and came to find me to remind me. I read these other Yelp reviews and am completely baffled as I only had professional service and absolutely stunning wedding pictures. More...

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!! More...

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! More...

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! More...

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 More...

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! More...

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. More...

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!

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. More...

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! More...

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. More...

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. More...

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!! More...

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! More...

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. More...

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! More...

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.

We recently worked with Mark and Danny for our Naval Academy wedding in November. The were AMAZIN!G!!! we received our pictures in only 1. 5 weeks and were shocked with the quality, how many images we received, and the speed in which we got them! Mark and his team know the Annapolis area so well. They are quick, efficient, provide excellent direction on how to pose/stand and made sure that all of the shots we wanted taken were done. Even our guests were commenting on how wonderful they were. We also used Hamilton Photography for our engagement pictures and our save the dates! We had one issue with our save the dates where our return address was printed below the guests address and we had a lot returned to us or simply mailed to us because that's what the post office thought they were supposed to go. Not sure if this was a Post Office or design of the card issue! On our actual wedding day, Mark and Danny were wonderful to be around, they were professional but also made us feel very comfortable and definitely enhanced our experience. I can't say enough times how much we LOVE our pictures. We were able to take them in all of the locations we wanted to and the even accommodated us to do our first look at a location they typically don't shoot in. It was such a perfect day and they captured everything perfectly for us to remember for years to come. Thanks so much 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! More...

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! More...
