Working with William was a pure joy and truly made our wedding extra special, not only for the stunning photos that he was able to capture in such a difficult venue as the National Aquarium but also his professionalism and above and beyond support throughout the process.

The team at Petruzzo Photography make sure that every moment is captured. They talked us through the whole thing before the wedding happened asked us about any specific kind of shots that we wanted and made sure that they were accomplished.

Literally everyone who sees our wedding photos says they should be in a magazine. I highly recommend paying for two photographers... having two photographers made it possible to capture both of our reactions really well. It also allowed them to capture more of the action in greater detail throughout the day.

You'll know in seconds.

Couples hire me because they want someone who can create beautiful images under pressure, help keep the day on track, and make them feel comfortable throughout.

My clients tend to spend between $3,000 and $5,000 on their wedding photography in Maryland, depending on what matters most to them.

I am also available nationwide and would love to discuss destination opportunities with you.

  • Wedding Photography FAQ's

    • Are you only interested in couples with big budgets?

      No. While most people spend between around $3,000 to $5,000, my clients come with a wide range of budgets. My goal is to find a connection, and your budget is secondary to that. You can read my candid thoughts on pricing here.

    • How do you plan?

      I work with you to design a wedding photography timeline that includes the who, what, when, where and why, while respecting the often fluid nature of a wedding day. This will include identifying key moments and people, and developing a strategy to capture what’s important to you without overwhelming your natural experience of the day.

    • How far in advance should we book?

      I recommend that you book your wedding photography 10 months to one year in advance of your wedding day. Last minute bookings are occasionally available though, so don’t hesitate to ask!

    • How long before the images are finished?

      Unlike many photographers, I am not just slapping a filter on the images and hitting send, therefore editing can take a little longer. The average turn around time for wedding photos is 4 to 8 weeks. It is sometimes quicker than this, and occasionally a little longer for weddings that pose unique technical challenges. I will always keep you in the loop when facing a delay.

    • How many images are included? Is there a limit?

      Since every wedding is different, it’s not possible to determine with certainty how many images will be delivered, but there is no limit. In general, a team of two photographers will create around 100-150 images per hour.

    • How would you describe your style?

      Depending on my client’s preferences, I shoot a blend of candid photojournalism, polished editorial, and traditional portraiture. My work has an unvarnished and authentic quality, presented primarily in true-to-life color, with key moments punctuated in classic black and white.

    • Will you help with posing?

      Yup, if you need it. I don’t want to get in the way when something natural is already working, but I also don’t want to leave you there wondering what to do with your hands when it’s not.

    • Will you travel? How much?

      I’ve photographed weddings across the United States and internationally, and love the adventure of discovering a new city. I always keep my passport up to date, so I can go wherever your wedding is taking place. If you’re interested in bringing me along, reach out and I’ll be happy to discuss what’s involved in the process.
