  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

“We could not be happier with our decision to hire Nina for our wedding! We just received our full wedding gallery and WOW— Nina and her second photographer, Darcy, did such a wonderful job capturing our day. Nina has an excellent eye. Each photo is masterfully composed and the colors are rich. Our gallery had the perfect mix of candids and posed shots. Nina captured so many special moments we weren’t able to experience or see ourselves! We had so much fun going through the gallery and sending our guests the photos they were in. She truly captured the joyous feeling of the day and going through the photos feels like reliving it. Nina is also a great communicator. She is timely in her responses and clear about her process and what to expect. She also makes sure to ask questions about what you want as a couple. We felt calm and comfortable with her. You will be in excellent hands with Nina!! We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.”

  • Serves Ellicott City, MD

Your wedding shouldn’t feel like one long photo shoot. It should feel like you. I’m Erick, most people call me Ricke and I photograph weddings throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, New York, and destinations worldwide. My work blends honest, candid storytelling with elevated editorial portraiture, creating photographs that feel cinematic, true to color, and full of life. Most of my couples tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera. That’s completely normal. I offer just enough direction to help you look and feel confident, then step back so the real moments can unfold naturally. You’ll never be expected to perform or pretend, just be fully present with the people you love.

“We hired RickeHerbert Photography for our wedding in Maryland, and it was one of the best decisions we made! From the initial consultation to the final gallery, everything was seamless. Erick has an amazing ability to capture raw, authentic emotions without making the photos feel staged. The day of the wedding, he was professional yet so easygoing that it felt like having a friend around. The attention to detail and ability to put everyone at ease was remarkable. When we received our photos, we were blown away. The moments captured were pure magic—laughs, tears, and all the little details we didn’t even notice on the day. We can’t recommend RickeHerbert Photography enough for anyone looking for timeless, heartfelt wedding photos.”

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
“I can't say enough about Justin! We had an amazing experience working with him for our elopement. He played a VERY important role in our big day, not only as our photographer, but as our witness, sole ceremony attendee, hype man, and what felt like a friend by the end of the day. He went above and beyond our expectations, and our photo session with him was a highlight of our wedding experience. Justin is amazing at his craft, as evidenced by his work. He also has an intimate knowledge of the DC monuments, museums, and various venues that offer great photo ops, so he was very helpful in selecting the Library of Congress as the primary setting for our session post-ceremony. Once we were there, he knew all of the best rooms, corners, and angles to get the best shots. He also identified a few impromptu stops on our path to get shots with the Capitol and the Washington Monument in the background. I couldn't be happier that we were able to get such amazing photos in front of the most iconic spots in DC. Beyond the beautiful photos, Justin has an infectious energy and is so much fun to be around. He will put you at ease while coaching you through poses, and he makes the whole thing so much fun. We're so happy to have had Justin as part of our day, and to have such beautiful memories to look back on!”

I am a photographer based out of Baltimore, MD. I specialize in weddings, engagements, and portraits of all kinds. I have been taking pictures all my life, but my real photography journey started when my lovely wife (girlfriend at the time) Emma surprised me with a camera on our first Christmas together. She knew that I'd been itching for one for a long time, so she worked behind the scenes, getting all of our friends to pitch in for it. The look on my face was well worth it . I have fallen in love with the process of capturing moments of love and connection. I feel so lucky to be present for so many important moments, from pregnancy announcements to surprise engagements, to annual family portraits to beautiful weddings.

“I was hoping to look pretty. I was wanting some beautiful shots. My mom has two good photos of her in her wedding dress and I was like if I could just have 1 or 2 timeless photos to show my kids one day, that would be enough. But I got the fairytale. Looking at my photos it is so unreal. What movie is this? What fairytale did I just walk out of? Anugraha was so willing, so ready. I showed him a few photos and told him my dream, and he gave me what I couldn’t have dreamed of. Eternally grateful.”

“No amount of words can express our gratitude to Lester & Dreisbach Photography and I could spend all day talking about how wonderful they are. They are beyond amazing and such beautiful human beings! We had searched high & low for the perfect fit and they both exceeded our expectations. Our wedding was back in November 2021 and the weather was pretty much all seasons rolled into one day making things extremely difficult and how they made it all work is a miracle! From our first Skype meeting(thanks Covid) they were so warm, friendly, down to earth and such fun, we talked for hours! We literally booked them that day as we didn't want anyone else. The communication was fantastic and their service was like no other, especially during such an uncertain time with Covid. They were flexible and really made us feel special on our day, you can see just how passionate they are about their craft! Their passion is infectious and we had sooooooo much fun having our photos taken by them, the freezing cold wind & jumping over fences were all made worth it. They're both so dedicated and one of our photos always makes me smile knowing that they had thrown my veil up into the air to try and get a great shot and had to run off into the bushes to avoid being in the photo(their dedication and yet care for you is next level!). They also made all our guests feel super at ease when taking photos. Considering how short on time we were and the weather constraints, we got so many amazing photos and we loved that you not only get the "editorial"/artistic shots but also beautiful candid moments captured that you don't even see yourself! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much we are forever grateful for having been able to have you apart of our special day!”

I'm a laid back, upbeat and silly (some might say incredibly funny, but whatever) person with a penchant for making everyone feel like an old friend. I enjoy being with people so my enthusiasm and joy on your wedding day is genuine! The greatest compliment I receive from couples again and again is that they feel so comfortable with me that taking photos wasn't stressful, in fact, it was fun! Your wedding day should be enjoyable and stress free; My goal is to make that happen as a team with you and all your other vendors, because you deserve nothing less than an awesome wedding day.

Rachel and I met the day of working a wedding together, where she was the photographer and my husband and I were the videographers. We all hit it off right away and captured the entire wedding day as a team, working together seamlessly even though we had just met. Why is this important for couples? Well, when your vendors work well together, you benefit! We were all looking out for each other throughout the day, helping to ensure that the photos and video were the best they could be for our couple. I would imagine that Rachel brings this same element of teamwork to every wedding she shoots. The pictures from the wedding day were awesome and Rachel was a delight to work with - hopefully we will be capturing many more weddings together!”

A few things about me: -I see God in everything. -I am the biggest fan of autumn you will ever meet!!! -I love my family, friends & football.

“Amazing Wedding Photographer – Highly Recommend! Victoria is an absolute gem! From our very first meeting, it was clear she is passionate about her craft and genuinely cares about capturing the essence of your special day. She was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to every detail, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, Victoria was everywhere yet never intrusive. She has an incredible eye for capturing candid moments as well as perfectly posed shots. The lighting, angles, and creativity in her photos are stunning. When we received our final gallery, we were blown away—every photo was a masterpiece that brought all the emotions of the day flooding back. What truly sets Victoria apart is her warm personality and ability to connect with people. Our guests adored her, and she made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document one of the most important days of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, Victoria is the one!”

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

“We truly don’t even know where to begin with how incredible Jasmine and her team were. From the very first conversation to the final goodbye on our wedding night, they were everything you could hope for in a photography team - calm, kind, organized, and unbelievably talented. On the wedding day, Jasmine had this effortless way of directing us that never felt stiff or staged. She somehow managed to make everything feel natural and fun, even during portraits (which we were nervous about going into). Her team blended into the background in the best way possible, capturing every candid moment without ever disrupting the flow of the day. Looking back at the photos, it genuinely feels like they bottled up the emotion of the entire wedding - the quiet in-between moments, the laughter, the happy tears, the energy on the dance floor. Every image feels alive and intentional, like a story we get to relive over and over again. They were also incredibly organized and on top of every detail, keeping things moving smoothly while somehow making it all feel completely stress-free for us. That balance of professionalism and warmth is rare, and they nailed it. We are beyond grateful we had Jasmine and her team with us. These aren’t just wedding photos—they’re memories we’ll have for the rest of our lives, captured better than we ever could have imagined.”
