Hello and thanks for stopping by!
My name is Liz Maryann and I’m a modern wedding & lifestyle photographer based in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. Here you'll find a compilation of my latest work as well as random ramblings about life, things I love and everything else in between.
So sit back, relax and feel free to browse through my work from recent shoots.
Keep up with new blog posts by becoming a fan of my page!
Check out this beautiful engagement session with Blakely & David. They are both kind and laid back people, not to mention that they’re also incredibly talented musicians! They’re getting married in June and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding!
Check out some of my favorites – TGIF!
They didn’t believe me when I looked at my camera and told them they looked like models…but look at these two! So beautiful…
Absolutely gorgeous! The fall colors are magnificent, and they seem so happy and in love. The second-to-last photo where the groom-to-be looks like he’s trying not to laugh is so cute!

So cute! I love Meadowlark and its gorgeous with all the fall colors!
Danielle and I met at our high school fashion show and we’ve kept in touch ever since. She would always comment and “Like” the photos on my facebook page and I’d always respond with: “You’re next, Danielle!” A few months later, she’s officially a bride-to-be!
Danielle and Jonah are tying the knot in July and I am THRILLED about shooting their wedding! They will be having a mountain top ceremony so you can only imagine how much fun I’ll have with that gorgeous view
WEDDING COLORS/THEME:
Winter wedding / Navy Blue, Ivory, Silver
FUN FACTS:
All the bouquets and centerpieces were DIY. Flowers were purchased in bulk from Sam’s Club and we are sooo glad we were able to put the money we saved into other parts of the wedding.
MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS:
Lynne’s sister singing her very own rendition of “So Happy Together” during her MOH speech. Their first look. Lynne and Joe also enjoyed picking out their cake together.
WHAT WE LOVED MOST ABOUT THEIR WEDDING:
They had a fun bridal party! Matching pajamas. Mimosas to keep the bride relaxed. There was not a single dry eye in the room during the parent dances.
Anna (my second shooter) and I felt as if we were photographing a royal wedding – no joke! Lynne and Joe’s wedding was timeless, intimate and elegant.
WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE NEWLYWEDS TO THE NEWLY ENGAGED: Enjoy your time together planning.
Be open to each other’s ideas and don’t ever lose sight of why you are getting married in the first place

Love! This wedding was sooooo amazing! I love the blog! Thanks for letting me shoot with you. Lynne and Joseph: Congratulations I wish you two all the best! <3
So I have been longing to do another artsy and fashion-forward maternity session ever since I shot Michelle’s in San Juan, Puerto Rico. One of the most wonderful things I could possibly photograph is the miracle of life inside a woman’s womb. There is just something remarkably beautiful about the glow of pending parenthood and I was ecstatic to do shoot another maternity session!
I decided to incorporate my love for fashion and art into this photo shoot but I also wanted to keep it soft and feminine, so I put Stephanie in a flowy one-shoulder green chiffon dress (which I thought complemented her gorgeous red locks perfectly) and needless to say, she totally rocked it!
Stephanie and Brandon got married last July (check out their wedding pictures here) and they’re about to welcome a baby girl VERY soon! (Only about 9 weeks to go)
Stephanie is a sweetheart and I had a blast working with her. Congratulations on your little bundle of joy, Stephanie and Brandon
Here are two beautiful people with hearts of gold. They are an incredibly kind and loving couple who put others’ needs before their own. Their love for one another is so profoundly captivating that it made photographing their wedding such a breeze. When Patrick was deployed to Afghanistan for about a year after their engagement, he was bummed that he couldn’t be there to help Jessica plan the wedding. Fortunately though, she was able to pull through by enlisting help from their amazing families and friends who stood by her side throughout the entire wedding planning process.
This was my first Filipino/Korean wedding and I absolutely loved how the two cultures were blended together and incorporated into their wedding day. Jessica and Patrick are sweethearts – I really enjoyed working with them!
