Contact Jacqie Q

Photography found me when I needed to feel alive to connect with others. My style is full of connection and my business thrives on joyful experiences with me and the camera. Photos with me is like hanging out with a friend - laid-back and a bit of calm in this chaotic world.

I'm adventurous and constantly improving my craft. I push myself to learn new styles and techniques so that I can provide only the best photos for each client. Each person is unique, and their photos should reflect who they are. You aren't square, so I won't stick you in a box.

All we have is NOW. Let's capture these fleeting moments and have a damn good time while we're doing it.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I'm located in Western Maryland and cover all of Maryland and into Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. I also travel for Destination Weddings, so please email for more information. Off the east coast, I've been to Wyoming, Montana, Hawaii, and Iceland for weddings. I'm up for wedding adventures worldwide!

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I've been in business since 2011 and captured 20-30 weddings per year, ranging from just the two of you to larger scale, elegant events.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

My style is warm, spontaneous, quirky, and most definitely REAL. I aim to capture emotion and authentic moments.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

Typical wedding coverage is approximately 8 hours with a digital collection for $3-4k depending on add ons such as a Luxury Album or engagement session. I encourage engagement sessions as our laid-back way to get to know one another. I find your angles, discover how you interact with one another, and we eliminate variables by practicing before the wedding.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

Call me, text me, Facetime me, Zoom... We are living in the future!

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I've attended several in person workshops and participated in many online courses. I belong to the PPA as well as several rocking groups such as Fearless Photographers. My formal education is in Biology and Chemistry, and I was a teacher in my past life.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

My goal is to eliminate stress and provide an amazing experience for you on your big day. I'm not the photographer for everyone, but if we jive then let's do this.
