Justin Kunimoto Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (94 reviews)

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was the first vendor that we booked for our wedding- before the venue, before anything else and it was probably the best decision that I made in the entirety of our wedding planning. Justin was such a pleasure to work with from the start and went above and beyond to make sure that my partner and I were comfortable in the run-up to the wedding and on our wedding day (which is saying a lot, because my partner hates taking/being in pictures). On the wedding day, Justin was even more incredible than I could have imagined. He made us both feel at ease the entire wedding, making us laugh and seamlessly capturing amazing pictures along the way. All night and since the wedding, we've had family and friends tell us how incredible Justin was- his easygoing, friendly demeanor made an already really special day even better and we are so grateful to have him as our photographer. The pictures he captured are stunning (no surprise given the work we'd seen of his before) but I was blown away by the candid moments he was able to capture that we will cherish forever. Again- I can't recommend Justin highly enough and will forever be grateful for both the way he was able to capture the best moments of such an important day and for him being such a wonderful person.

MyDeejay has been the Baltimore / Washington DC area's premier wedding DJ service for over 15 years! Our polished, no-cheese performing style is perfect for couples who want an awesome dancing experience for their guests, but aren't interested in the typical "entertainer emcee" style of performer.

Awarded Best of Zola
My brother and sister-in-law used MyDeejay for their wedding 12 years ago, and I still remember how incredible their reception was — the energy, the music, and the nonstop dancing. From that night on, I knew I wanted MyDeejay for my own wedding someday. We were lucky enough to work with Van Petty, and he completely exceeded every expectation. Van was kind, professional, and so attentive to every detail. He listened to exactly what we envisioned and made sure every moment — from our ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception — flowed seamlessly. He even had separate setups for each part of the day, and everything transitioned beautifully. The dance floor was packed all night, and the energy never dipped. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had! We’re so grateful to Van and MyDeejay for helping make our wedding day feel effortless, joyful, and unforgettable.

Hi, I am Bhanu Vee, The creator behind Eternal Vistas. My passion lies in creating an experience where you feel truly at ease, capturing those genuine, unscripted moments that reflect your connection.

Instead of stiff poses, I guide you with gentle cues to let your authentic chemistry shine through. I go out of my way and step into wedding planner shoes if that's what my couple needs. Lets Talk !

Awarded Best of Zola
Bhanu at Eternal Vistas showed he genuinely cared about making our day perfect. He was involved in planning every step of the wedding with us, and even monitored the forecast to suggest we order umbrellas last minute; this was a thoughtful touch that saved us. There were so many thoughtful touches that will not fit in this review (preparing a wedding outline, checking in on our mental health/stress levels when planning, suggesting a song to listen to while we looked at photos, and so many more things!!). We received sneak peek photos in less than 24 hours, and we were absolutely floored by the quality. They are beyond our wildest dreams. We had a main photographer, a videographer, and an assistant (an unexpected bonus assistant, I’ll add). Their attention to detail is clear in every shot, and the whole experience felt effortless. The value we got from working with them was outstanding and truly worthwhile. I could not recommend them enough to any couple looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. My husband and I are grateful for Eternal Vistas and their passion for what they do. Thank you thank you thank you.

A high-end wedding DJ in Ellicott City, Maryland, DJ Jamaal is committed to providing its couples and their guests with top-notch quality entertainment. Owned and operated by Jamaal Botticelli, the company has been in service for over 20 years. Jamaal’s laid-back style allows you and your significant other to remain in the spotlight while keeping your guests on the dance floor all night long! Voted Best DJ 2022 & 2023 Best of Baltimore Weddings Readers Poll

If I could give Jamaal more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!!!! Jamaal was actually the DJ at my sister's wedding in Virginia three years ago, and we loved him so much that I reached out to see if he'd be willing to travel all the way to North Carolina for our wedding. To my surprise, he said yes—and somehow he was even BETTER than we remembered! From our ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception, Jamaal took care of everything. He kept the entire day running smoothly, was an incredible MC, and brought so much energy and enthusiasm. His biggest talent, though, is being able to read the room. He always knew exactly what song to play next to keep everyone on the dance floor, and our guests were dancing all night long! Leading up to the wedding, he was also so patient and responsive. I had what felt like a million questions, and he always took the time to answer them and make sure every detail was exactly how we wanted it. He truly cared about making our day perfect, and it showed. If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, organized, energetic, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, Jamaal is the one. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Jamaal, for making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more!

Turf Valley Resort was an amazing venue! They worked with us and answered all our questions leading up to the wedding. We met 10 days before the event and they calmed my nerves because I felt like they had everything taken care of. We had multiple people with food allergies and they did not mess up any of them- so many people complemented on how good the food was too. Our day of contact, Adam, was great and really made us feel special. He met all our needs and really helped make the day perfect. We would highly recommend Turf Valley for your next event!

I am so happy that I found and hired The I Do Glam Crew for my December 2024 wedding! Lori and her team were amazing throughout the entire process. I booked two separate trials with Lori to try out all kinds of different hair options, and she probably spent about 5 hours with me to make sure I was going with the hairstyle that would make me the happiest on the big day. She never made me feel rushed or annoying, even though I was being incredibly indecisive! Her shop is adorable and comfortable and the other people on her team were all fantastic - they showed up to my house the morning of the wedding on time, they breezed through everyone's hair and makeup in a timely fashion, and everyone looked gorgeous after all was said and done. As someone who really doesn't like to have a ton of makeup, I was super nervous about having our makeup professionally done, but I had nothing to worry about - it turned out amazing. One of my bridesmaids opted out of having her makeup done because she never likes how people do her makeup, but afterwards she told me that this was the one time she somewhat regretted not getting her makeup done because she loved how ours turned out so much. Anyway, I cannot recommend this team enough! They are wonderful to work with and I would absolutely hire them again.

The BEST VENUE EVER!!! May I say, “I’m in love with Rachel and Gemma”? They are amazing! Also, the scent machine for HVAC! GENIUS! Never get rid of it! It was a requirement for my wedding, so everyone smelled good the entire time! Also, working with the team at MSB was so effortless! Also, Rachel girl! You broke your curse! She handed me a slice of my cake and didn’t drop it! It was a demand of mine and she achieved it with beauty and grace and I’m so glad. The perk of this venue is you have on-site staff for your vendors or wedding planner to contact for any questions AND the venue is open from 8am-midnight! All my vendors were so happy and thankful for that, so they didn’t have to rush set up or anything like that. The venue itself is beautiful; we had to do a room flip which was so cool how they magically did that so quickly. The furniture that was already there was great and the outside patio was so relaxing for cocktail hours. The restrooms were so clean and the studios for the people getting married were perfect! Overall, this venue was perfect, especially in case it rained, which it was supposed to, but it thankfully didn’t. Parking was a little crazy for most, but that’s going to be anywhere in a city area, thankfully all parking spots were at least free, so no one had to pay or worry about being ticketed. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone any day!

We specialize in capturing how everything felt on your wedding day. We dedicate ourselves to telling emotional, cinematic, and heartfelt stories through the visual keepsakes we craft for our couples. The craft of wedding film making is the art of blending cinematic storytelling and cinema verite (documenting things as they truly are). Our work speaks truth while also beautifying what the covenant of marriage stands for.

You can find our video on G1's YouTube. You will not find a better video than those made by G1, and you will not find someone as dedicated and sincere in the effort they put into your final product. The way he weaved in the various speeches and parts from the ceremony through our most emotional moments makes the video so very special to us. To this day, I still have not seen any wedding video that comes close to those made by G1. Not only is this talent, but it is also a product of the effort put in on the wedding day. The attention to detail he puts in his shots are extremely thorough and detail oriented. We were absolutely and extremely impressed with the final product.

BS"D Exceptional Kosher Catering for Every Occasion! Weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, corporate events, private parties, Kiddushim and sit down catering for your Shabbos Simcha, etc. Catering food is under Star-K Certification."

We attended an event catered by Kosher Golden Kitchen, and it was an absolute pleasure. We were genuinely impressed from start to finish. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect — from the stunning presentation to the seamless flow of service. The food was exceptional across the board: fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with great care. Each dish was beautifully presented, striking a perfect balance between creativity and classic favorites, elevating the entire experience and making everything feel polished and special. Beyond the food, the service truly stood out. The team was friendly, attentive, and highly professional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all guests. Everything ran smoothly and effortlessly, which is no small feat at this level — but they made it look easy. We left truly impressed and would not hesitate to recommend Kosher Golden Kitchen to anyone looking for top-quality kosher catering. They set a very high standard and deliver a truly memorable experience.

Hi. I’m Josh. Our work is based in Washington, DC, often in San Francisco and we’re happy to travel. The best photographs are simple, unobtrusive, and spontaneous. Memory fills in the gaps - this is how authentic photography captivates us. We've always sought to remember things exactly how they happened - how we felt. The goal is to unobtrusively document your day through artful frames. I'm a firm believer there is no single best photographer anywhere in the world - but there are artist the align with your vision. Please look us up on Google (Joshua Fernandez Photography) and see how past clients describe their experience with us. :)
