I care about you and every moment

Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s about your love, your people, and the moments that make your day uniquely yours. I’m there to document it all, the details you chose with intention, the big emotions, and the quiet, in-between moments that often go unnoticed.

You never have to pose or perform for me.
Be present. Be with your people.

Be exactly who you are!

I guide gently, focusing on natural movement and connection so everything feels effortless and true to you.

From the moment you inquire until your photos are delivered, I’m there for you every step of the way. A calm, safe presence. Someone who has your back so you can fully live your day.

“The best investment you can make! Working with Barbara was the easiest thing about our entire wedding. She gave us a professional experience that felt so personal too. She captured us as if we were her family. The pictures we got back are stunning. STUNNING.”

We got You!

You can still have AMAZING PHOTOS AND the BOP Experience!

I have a team of talented associate photographers who’ve been carefully selected and trained to document your day with the same artistic and journalistic approach that I offer.

I’ll work together with you all the way leading up to your wedding day.
You’ll receive the BOP Wedding Guide with a bunch of tips, vendor referrals and helpful information. And I’ll personally help you plan the day-of-timeline to make sure the day goes smoothly.
The associate photographer will be there to photograph your wedding day and I, myself, will edit your photos with my signature style

You’ve got a Q…
I’ve got an A

Easy peasy. You say 'heck yeah, we wanna book you!,' sign an electronic agreement and send a $2,000 deposit fee. And voilà. You're all set!
Yes, always. I’m based in Maryland and regularly photograph weddings in Washington DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, with no additional travel fee. For weddings beyond that area, I’ll create a simple, custom travel quote so everything feels clear and easy from the start.
You can expect your wedding photos within 10 weeks, but don't you worry, I'll send you a preview of your day within 15 days to hold you over. As for your engagement or lifestyle session, those will take up to 8 weeks to get delivered. You'll have access to an online gallery where you can download and share them with everyone. No watermarks. These photos are ready to print. Print away!
400-800 for weddings, depending on how many hours of coverage you book. And 80-120 pictures for engagement and lifestyle sessions. All photos you receive are in high-resolution and fully edited with the style you see on my website.
Well, you don't neeeeed a second shooter... I'm very comfortable photographing weddings solo, but it's pretty awesome to have one, because it will bring a second perspective throughout the day, you'll get more candid moments of your guests, and most importantly, we can be in two different locations at the same time (I still don't have that super power). If you're not seeing each other before the ceremony or if your wedding has more than 100 guests, I highly recommend getting a second shooter.
Engagement sessions are a great way for us to break the ice and get to know each other before the wedding day. You have a chance to learn how I work behind the camera, and I have a chance to learn more about you two as a couple, so I can better capture your real selves. Besides walking away with photos that really represent who you are in a more laid-back scenario (you know...without all that bling), you'll feel a lot more comfortable being in front of the camera when the wedding day comes. Promise.
It's your day, and it's totally up to you, of course! I personally, think is super practical to see each other beforehand. You get to do most of the photos ahead of time (even bridal party and family photos) and then you get to enjoy the cocktail hour with your peeps. That's why you're doing this dang thing, right? To marry your soul mate and to share it with all the people you love.
Item Definitely! I will go wherever your story takes me. You can learn more about destination weddings here.
Abso-freakin-lutely! Share them with the World! I really love when my couples credit and tag @Barbara O Photography.
I sure do. Let me know in advance if your venue requests Certification of Insurance.
