Be Photography LLC

James Berglie from Be Photography is brilliant! I first saw his work when he was the photographer for my cousin's wedding. James has a real talent when it comes to finding beautiful shots. He arrived ridiculously early on our wedding day and used his extra time to scope out the place. He was extremely flexible with our desire to take as many pictures possible before the ceremony and even helped untangle my niece's necklace! :-) He was so good at blending in and being invisible that I often forgot he was there. Yet he did an exceptional job of documenting the entire evening. He didn't miss a thing! The pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I am so excited to see the photobook! James was an absolute pleasure to work with. You will not be disappointed.

James was awesome to work with-very easy going and talented! We did both our wedding and engagement pictures with him. I fell in love with his silhouette portraits! They are beautiful. My husband doesn't like having his picture taken but he didn't mind with James. He makes it very relaxed!

James is the best! We could never of dreamed of getting as great of wedding pictures as we did. We have so many great pictures that I can't decide which ones to hang in our house because I love them all! James did a wonderful job of capturing our wedding day. He was very easy to work with and had great ideas for creative wedding pictures. I would recommend him to everyone!

James Berglie of Be Photography, LLC ws 100% SPECTACULAR !!!! He is a professional in every aspect. To make sure he wasn't a minute late, he arrived about 45 minutes early. He took some REALLY REALLY creative and unique pictures. When the end of his agreed upon time came, our wedding was still going strong and JAMES suggested that he'd have no problem staying and we could get everything settled up later after we get back from the honeymoon. Also, he had our pictures back to us within 12 days and had at no point has he pressured us to buy any additional picture packages that his company offers. He has simply informed us and about some of the options they offer and said to let him know if we have interest.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER, LOOK NO MORE. James is the right person for the job!!!!!!!!

Great to work with and fit our style perfectly. James is an excellent photographer and really captured all of our special moments for the wedding. I highly recommend him for any upcoming weddings. Thanks again!!!

If you are looking for beautiful and creative wedding photography, please look no further than James Berglie at Be Photography in Nottingham, MD. From the moment we met with him, we were drawn to his ideas, creativity, and most of all, his kindness and gentleness. He took as much time as we needed and never once pressured us into a decision. We had looked at other photographers before meeting with James, and no one compared to his body of work and class of photography. James is very flexible with his packages and lets you add things on during the whole process which enabled us to really see what we wanted by time the wedding arrived.
Though I was not there, my wife got ready at her mother's house. One of the things that make James so amazing, was the care and gentleness he displayed at her mom's house. He took the time to carefully move things and was very courteous. Because of this, she got the most beautiful and special pictures of where she grew up. This meant so much to us.
At the ceremony and reception, James was AWESOME! Not only does he capture the greatest shots of us, our wedding party, and our guests, but his ideas are so creative! Not to mention, it is hard to notice him, which we found surprising since he captured everything. Some of our photos were displayed at the grand opening of Rusty Love in Cockeysville, MD, (an amazing vintage furniture rental company we used) where so many people came up to us and asked who took the pictures. We were happy to give James' name and Be Photography.
Thanks so much, James! We LOVE our photos and will cherish them forever!!!! You are the BEST!!!

We knew we wanted to work with James the moment we met him and saw his photographs. Working with him was such a pleasure and he made everything so mindless. As a bride getting ready, I didn't even know he was there and he captured some of the most intimate moments. During the ceremony and reception, we have some of the most spectacular photographs, they tell the story for us. As for the formal shots, they are pure magic. He truly is a magician behind the camera and we are so grateful that for the rest of our lives we can look at these photographs and remember exactly how we felt in those moments.

I can't say enough James, he really was the absolute best vendor choice we made for our day. He always responded immediately after I emailed him and arrived early on my day so that I could get more getting ready pics then I anticipated. His sense of humor kept me laughing even when my dress got muddy. He asked us if we wanted to drive to a bridge on the way to our reception and it was the perfect spot for the most amazing pictures! He was so creative with his shots and all his suggestions were wonderful. He was a ninja during the ceremony and reception and captured every wonderful moment. He went far above and beyond during my reception when I could not find the catering manager all night- James found him for me. I don't know what I would have done without him! The pictures were done before I returned home from the honeymoon and they are breathtaking! He is the BEST out there-book him immediately!

What a wonderful photographer James is! When my husband and I met with James the first time, my husband, who is a photographer himself, was really impressed with the way James described his technique for taking photos at the wedding. James basically said he would not be one of those photographers who is in the way, but he will capture everything important and special about the day. James did just that. When I look through our pictures (which, by the way, he had back to us in less than 2 weeks, and from what I hear, that's unheard of in the wedding world!), I feel like I'm going through the full timeline of the day.. it's like a storybook. I am seeing things that I did not take in that day and I feel that I have so many beautiful and special moments captured from our special day. James is flexible, talented, efficient, professional, has wonderful ideas, and I now know why he was recommended to me by so many friends. I will now be one of those people recommending him to all of my friends!

James did a fantastic job on our wedding -- better than we could have hoped for. We had a small wedding, just family and a few close friends...and James managed to capture all the special moments and a ton of great candid shots. James is not only the type of person you'd want to have as a photographer at your wedding, but a guest at your wedding, too! Highly professional, extremely friendly and likable...I could go on. You'd be more than happy if you chose James to photograph your big day! I know I was :o)

Sorry if this turns lengthy but I have so much good feedback! Pictures were VERRRRRY important to me. I was def. on a budget and I could not afford to pay 2,500-4,000 on pictures. All the other photographers that were in our budget below 2,000 were the normal stand and say cheese type, which I can't stand. Then we met James. We knew right away he was for us. I worked with him showing him pictures I really liked and he made sure on that day we got the shot. It was def my fault because I had so many ideas we forgot to get me with the guys and Tim with the girls but it worked out because our group shots were great! He captured all the little moments through out the day I dont ever want to forget. He was EVERYWHERE all the time. He got pictures that looks like there had to be two or three people standing in different areas. He is very quick with editing and I got my pictures back within a couple of weeks. And if I ever loose or damage them he has them all stored. I also like the fact you have rights to all your pictures. And if you dont want a book right away you can always order it later on. We love every single picture and wouldn't change a thing! Thank you James for amazing memories we can always look back on! April & Timothy

James is amazing! I am quite sure he is also the superhero "The Flash" because he was everywhere during the ceremony and reception. Our bride and groom photos are absolutely breathtaking, but then our reception photos completely captured the fun and crazy party that ensued perfectly. I would totally recommend Be Photography to any bride. You will not regret this choice!

There isn't enough space to share how happy we were with our photography selection. To me, the music and photography were the most important parts of the wedding. I did my homework and really spent a lot of time looking for the right fit. I came across the Be Photography brochure from a wedding expo. I looked online and set up a meeting with James. He came prepared to our meeting with a suitcase full of example albums- which I loved. Having the photojournalism background makes the photos so much more unique and special. We opted to have 2 photographers for our wedding (James and Jamie) because we were having over 250 guests. I had been in touch with James via e-mail on and off before the wedding and he was very responsive to all of my requests/questions. The week before the wedding, James called me to review the timeframe and answered all of my questions. The day of the wedding, James showed up early and he headed up to our room to shoot the dress, shoes, etc while I was finishing up at the salon. The picture process wasn't stressful at all. I had read so many reviews and they all said you could barely tell he was even there and I couldnt agree more!! He captured the emotion of the day which was so special. We had fireworks at our ceremony and the pics were amazing! Not something just any photographer could've done. He checked in with us to ask if we wanted certain pics and it was fine if we declined. The prieview pics were up on Facebook about 2 and a half weeks after the wedding and the pictage photos were up shortly after with 2,500 great photos. I have gotten so many compliments on what a great job they did. Also just got the photos on CDs in the mail last week. Thanks for a great job Be Photography!

There is only 1 word to describe the work of James Berglie with Be Photography. Breathtaking. Every single picture that James took has made us smile, cry, laugh, and just look back at our wedding day with such happiness because we knew that we made the best decision when we decided to have James capture all of the great moments on our wedding day. From his down to earth personality, price, and just overall professionalism, anyone who would not choose Be Photography would truly be missing out on the experience of a lifetime. Since our wedding pictures have been posted, there have been so many guests, family members, friends, and some people who we don't even know that have looked at his work and are in absolute awe. Thank you James for making our day come to life through your pictures!!!!!!!!!!

James was the photographer for our wedding, and he has amazing talent! I loved how the formal shots included creative poses and compositions- not just your standard everyone-standing-in-a-line type of poses. He also used some great effects, like blurring out the background in some pictures, and he made several versions of black and white and color variations for each picture, i.e., with different levels of contrast and brighter or more muted colors depending on the look you want. He truly has an artistic eye, which is why we picked him for our wedding, and we were 100% happy with everything he did. He was also very professional, flexible, and easy to work with, and he always promptly responded to all of my emails. I absolutely highly recommend James for your wedding!!!!

I absolutely loved James from Be Photography! He was awesome the day of our wedding and somehow managed to be everywhere at once. Our pictures turned out great and he was extremely easy to work with! Leading up to the wedding he was very helpful when I had questions and was readily available by phone or email! Just go to the their website and you will see all of the great photography that that do! I have already recommended him to other brides!

James Berglie, of Be Photography, was outstanding! From the moment we met him, he spoke our language. He explained that his day job is being a photo journalist, and that he is trained to be out of sight but capture all those important and candid moments. He was willing to travel from Maryland to Northern NY for our wedding, and even with travel cost he was STILL more cost effective than any other photographer we met with, since he covered the entire day 10am - 12pm for a set price, no picture limit! Throughout the whole day, I felt like James was another part of my wedding party, he was easy going and fun and very prepared. He had toured the city and had locations and shots in mind, and did anything to get the perfect shot, even lay in the road! One of our groomsmen even compared him to a ninja because he always happened to be there at the moment you thought "Oh I wish we had a picture of this." Our pictures are stunning from start to finish. Every detail captured, we didn't have a wedding video and now I know we didn't need one, he captured everything. We had our preview within 2 days, our pictures were available on pictage in a week and we had our CDs with HD photos in 2 weeks. I would recommend James at Be Photography to anyone living anywhere in the US! :)

James Berglie with Be Photography, provided us with wedding pictures that we will keep forever. People underestimate the value of a good photographer at a wedding and I am telling you that if you want to remember your day, James will take pictures that will leave you breathless. From the moment we met him to the day of our wedding, he carried professionalism, organization, preparation, and a sense of calmness about him. He was never aggressive or pushy in any manner. He arrived early just because he chose to and stayed late get some additional wanted shots. James had an amazing turn around time of less than a week where he posted some of our preview pics on facebook and then a few days later, provided a way for our guests to view all our photos via pictage.com. Pictage also allows guests to buy the pictures as well. James truly is worth every cent and you will not regret the choice to use him as your photographer.

James did an amazing job capturing all of the special (and fun!) moments at our wedding and reception. From the formal shots at the church, DC monuments (and even swimming pool!) to the ones of our siblings and friends making fun of themselves on the dance floor, we loved them all!

It was a pleasure working with James in all aspects of the process. We appreciated his time, recommendations, experience and positive energy (especially the latter, and especially in the 105 degree Washington DC heat). James was 100% flexible to our needs during our special day (NEVER pushy like other wedding photographers we have seen over the years!). He was very timely in providing both a online preview and the full digital image files.

We would without question recommend Be Photography's services to our friends and family.

We can not say enough positive things about James from Be Photography. We were pretty sure just from looking at James' photos online that he was the photographer that we wanted for our wedding, and after meeting with him and looking at more of his work, we were certain he was the best. James is incredibly responsive, easy going, flexible, artistic and passionate about his work. We did an engagement session with James and he also shot our wedding. He really takes the time to listen to what you want and manages to capture it even better than you imagined. He's incredibly relaxed which really helps during the hustle of the wedding day. We did almost 4 hours of photos before the ceremony and James checked in to see what shots we wanted next, how we thought things were going, how we were doing, feeling, etc. He provided his recommendations for great shots but was more than willing to try some random shot that a bride with a vision saw even under a time crunch. He also remembered all the photos I said I wanted better than I did. That's how well he listens and aims to capture your day how you envision. During the reception we barely noticed James, but after looking at the photos you would have thought he was standing in the middle of the dance floor. He also cares about your wallet, offering amazing memories for the most competitive prices. He doesn't have tricky packages, or pester you with add ons or albums. You contract with him for a certain number of hours and in no time at all, you've got a disk watermark free at your doorstep to do with as you please. And, keeping in mind turnaround time is dependent on his workload, but we had our preview photos within 3 days, and our disks were waiting at the post office when we got back from our honeymoon. The same went with our engagement photos. James works hard, and it shows. You won't be disappointed, you'll be blown away.

James Berglie of Be Photography was the photographer at my wedding. I fell in love with the photos on his website immediately and had yet to be impressed with the overpriced photographers I had met before James. I was living in Florida while planning my Maryland wedding, so James kindly met with my mom (who adored him and his work) but wanted to speak with my husband and I over the phone to answer all and any questions we had for him. He informed us that he has never shot at our wedding venue before, but that interested him more than shooting at a repeat venue as he could explore and challenge his creativity. He spoke confidently, and his previous photos had convinced my husband and I to hire James for our wedding. On the wedding day, aside from the formal photo sessions, I never knew James was there (but I can you from the thousands of photos he took that he was there!). On the morning of the wedding, James arrived well before I did to check out the venue and the sunlight so he could get the best possible photos. He was very flexible with his schedule, as he agreed to do most formal photos before the wedding so the wedding party could enjoy the cocktail hour immediately following the ceremony. James not only took unique, top quality photos, but he got sandy, dirty, and wet (we had access to a small beach at the venue) just to make sure we had the best photos of the venue. I would recommend James to anyone who is looking for a photographer who is fun and easy to work with and whose photos will amaze you. On top of that, his rates are very affordable- you will not be let down!!

We picked Be Photography based on the quality of work that we saw online. I loved the attention to detail and amount of editing done behind the scenes. We were very impressed when we set up our initial meeting with James and booked him right away. We got so much more than we even expected. First of all we got to see all of our pictures online 12 days after our wedding....some couples have to wait weeks! Secondly, when we looked through the pics, we saw many where we didn't even know James was in the room or anywhere near enough to have gotten the shots he did! One of my guests, who is also my supervisor, commented when I returned to work on how awesome the photographer was and how he was everywhere, literally on the floor getting the shots he needed. Less than a week after seeing our shots online, we now have the cds. We still need to pick our images for the album, so we're looking forward to that because there are so many to choose from. Most importantly, he was so personable, yet very professional. He was polite, never intrusive, and like I said you didn't even notice he was there half the time...but he definitely was. We are so happy with our choice for photography. You can't go back and get those moments, so pictures are crucial for telling the story and the mood of the wedding. As the bride, there is so much that you miss out on because you're 'sequestered' until the big moment and after that it's all a blur!. These pictures make sure I get to see everything from that day. We have so many creative shots along with the formals. We could not be happier with this vendor!!!

James and Ric were AWESOME to work with!!! Ric did our photography for our wedding, and James organized everything for us. Our photos were amazing!!! I never even knew Ric was there taking pictures at our ceremony and reception, and he is a great photographer!!

James is by far the best photographer you could ask for. He's professional, passionate, and an all around great guy. His turn around time is fantastic, the pictures are phenomenal, and most importantly he made it all so easy for us on our wedding day. He had a vision of what he wanted to do and the photos were more than I could have ever dreamed of. From kneeling in the soaking grass to get the perfect shot, to staying after our wedding was over to capture our last kiss, he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the final result. It rained on our wedding day and because of James and the pictures he produced, I'm actually glad that it did. You know he's a great photographer when a bride can say that. :) We've gotten so many compliments on our pictures, I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. I don't think I could thank him or recommend him enough. His work speaks for itself but, trust me, you want him to shoot your wedding.

My husband and I found Be Photography, LLC, on wedding wire. We checked out the website and were impressed with James Berglie's work. We set up an appointment with James for the following week. He brought along samples of his work, which we loved. We decided to go with him. We were very pleased! We just got back from our honeymoon and all of the photos have been edited and posted online for over a week. The pictures that James took are beautiful! I don't consider myself at all photogenic, but somehow James managed to take flattering picutes throughout the night. His style is photojournalistic, so many of the pictures aren't posted, yet still amazing! And the actual posed pictures don't look overly posed. He took several angles of every shot, and I can't find anything to complain about. James is more than a photographer - he is an artist! He took what I thought were average people and captured the perfect angle and the perfect light to make everyone look beautiful. He is affordable, laid back, artistic, and hard working! I should also mention he is polite and patient; my mother kept getting in the way of his photos trying to take her own snapshots and he never complained! Considering how many pictures he took throughout the ceremony and reception, you would think that there were two photographers. I would highly recommend James Berglie from Be Photography to every bride.

I worked with James from Be Photography LLC and he was absolutely fabulous from beginning to end. He was great and responsive with answering any questions and concerns that we had. We knew we were going to go with him right after the first meeting when we saw his portfolio and saw how easy he was to work with. We had an engagement shoot with James, which surprisingly turned out to be lots of fun. I normally hate having pictures taken of me but James was so helpful, instructive, and fun that I enjoyed doing the shoot. His turn around time is quick too, it’s amazing. He had our preview pictures of the wedding in 9 days!! The rest of the pictures were done and available for viewing one day after that. The pictures came out wonderful and I am very pleased with them. I have friends and family who are raving about how good the pictures turned out. We thought that his prices were very fair and competitive for the quality service and pictures.

Thank you James, for doing such a fantastic job!

James and Be Photography are absolutely amazing! We met James at my cousins wedding last October. James did an amazing job! After meeting him and seeing his work I just knew that I wanted him to be the photographer at my wedding. We (me and my husband) met with James and booked him right away. I had no worries when it came to the photography...I knew james had in under control. He was so organized and very quick to respond to emails. James is much more than just a photographer. He captured every special moment at my wedding. It was so funny because he kept coming up with ideas during the wedding...so glad he did because our pics look incredible. James is very passionate about his work and you can tell that he really loves his job. I continue to receive so many compliments on my wedding pics. I have referred many brides and grooms to be photography because I know that they won't be disappointed. James work is amazing and so affordable! I cannot say one negative comment about be photography! A few days after our wedding, James had already posted preview pics on facebook! About a week later, we received all of the pics CDs in the mail. I love the fact that you can order pics from snapfish and shutterfly since you have the CDs. I cannot thank James enough for capturing every special moment at our wedding! Our pictures will help me remember all of the memories at the wedding for years to come!

James was so fun to work with. He took the most amazing pictures that will be cherished for a lifetime. He captured the most precious moments. You hardly even knew he was there, he was not up in your face asking you to pose every second. I highly recommend James and Be Photography. He made the entire process from start to end very easy and his price is very reasonable.

James of BePhotography did a "day after" shoot with my husband, me, and my horse - it couldn't have been a more pleasant experience! Despite my fears that my husband and I wouldn't know how to pose or what to do, I was so pleasantly surprised to see how James captured the true essence of our relationship during our photo shoot, and we didn't even know it was happening! He has a real gift at making his "subjects" feel very at ease and natural, and the pictures reflect every bit of it. I recommend Be Photography to ALL my friends and family, and we would work with him again in a heart beat for vow renewals down the road. I had so many favorite pictures from the shoot that I have three separate frames with special individual pictures, as well as a collage frame with 9 more favorites!

James' photos of our wedding day were amazing! It's funny, I can't remember where I ran across his ad online, but I happened to click on it and immediately knew I liked his style and approach to photography. James isn't like most wedding photographers... he works very quickly (but somehow never seems rushed) but at the same time he's extremely attentive to detail. Never overly in anyone's face and doesn't devote too much time to posed shots-- James has a special ability to let the day unfold naturally and capture impromptu, priceless moments. Example: my 2 and a half year old niece was one of my flower girls. My husband and I both have a very strong bond with her; on our wedding day, as she was nearing the end of the aisle and saw my husband standing there, she ran towards him and jumped up to give him a hug. It was adorable and definitely something I was hoping to have photos of to look back on. James was able to photograph it AND ALSO snap shots of me as I was walking down the aisle with my parents. It's like he has eyes everywhere! There's not much more to say... he's super flexible, super friendly, his prices are totally reasonable, and he's just an amazing photographer. Go with James; you won't be sorry.

James was absolutely wonderful as our photographer! He contacted us a week before the wedding and asked us if it was okay if he "trained" someone on wedding photography at our event. We were a little nervous this would deter from James doing his own job, but he assured us it wouldn't. Needless to say he was right! The 2nd photographer was just as wonderful as James was and was able to catch some shots from different angles. James was friendly and his poses were very creative. He didn't try to push us into doing shots that we wouldn't be comfortable doing, instead he asked us what we wanted. He really listened to us at our original meeting and understood that the posed photos weren't our main goal, that the candids were our favorites. Most of my favorites are the candid shots of Michael and I having a quiet moment or with big grins on our faces during the prayers. It was an absolutely perfect day and our photographs are stunning! We have already recommended James and Be Photography to some our friends who are planning weddings in the near future! We would definitely use him again!

There are no words to describe how amazing James is as a photographer. Go on to his website and the quality of his photos says it all. James was the first and last photographer that we interviewed. After our meeting we immediately knew he was the one for us. First of all, his prices are totally reasonable. He gave us the CD with ALL 1200 pictures and the rights to print the photos where ever we wanted. He does not force you to print through his website but you certainly have the option to do so. On the day of the event, James showed up 30 minutes early and he had already stopped by our ceremony/reception site to take pictures. My husband and I wanted to take all of our pictures before the ceremony so we could have more time with our guests at cocktail hour. When he arrived at my house to do the pictures he immediately had tons of ideas of picture spots that we could do for the reveal. He calmly dealt with my crazy large family and some how was able to capture beautiful pictures of everyone. I was very persistent in the fact that I wanted to do some sparkler shots after the wedding and james stayed with us after his contracted hours were up to make sure we got the shots just perfect. He obviously goes above and beyond, not only because he is a good person but because he enjoys taking pictures. We went out of the country for our honeymoon and had no access to internet but by time we got back in the country the preview pictures were up! 3 days later we got the cd in the mail. I will forever recommend James to everyone I meet that is getting married.

I LOVED having James as our photographer. We found him on a facebook ad years ago and simply adored his photos. Both the wedding and the journalism shots. AMAZING. I was worried about the distance with him being in MD and us and the wedding being in VA, but it was no problem at all. He was very responsive to our emails and thankfully didn't mind the drive to the wedding. He got there early and ready to go. When getting ready took longer than expected and we had to push back the posed photos until after the ceremony, James was on top of the situation. We got through the posed shots quickly and efficiently so we could attend our cocktail hour. I was extremely grateful when he stayed late to get some more shots. The preview photos were up on facebook within a few days and received the CDs in 2 weeks. The photos are *ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL*, I wish I could bold and underline that. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. If/when we want to do another shoot, I will definitely be calling James. He's fantasic. James, keep up the great work!!

James did an awesome job capturing our wedding day! We had previously booked him for our engagement session and loved those pictures so much that we knew the wedding pictures would turn out great as well! We liked how James wasn't intrusive, or told us to stop and smile during our wedding, yet still got all of the important moments. He got our wedding pictures back to us so quickly and we're having a tough time deciding which ones we want to put in our album!

Highly recommend. Stop your search here!

Honestly I think Be Photography was pretty much the best investment I made for my wedding. Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved everything about my wedding, my dress was perfect! More than anything else I wanted to have my day captured in pictures. I wanted to be able to look at the pictures and feel the same joy and excitement and joy I did on my wedding day.
James Berglie did such an amazing job. He was so professional, but as down to earth as you can be. After just a few minutes I really felt like he was my friend. He was totally trying to make sure I had everything captured about my day.
He showed up early to check out the location and knew the best lighting and most picturesque places well in advance. I can't express how on top of everything he was.
My sister-in-law used Be Photography before I got married and I knew from their pictures that I wanted to have my pictures done by them as well.
Because I did most of my wedding planning across the country, James was extremely flexible in every possible way. I contacted him late as well. I think I told him the day before my wedding where to meet and what time. I definitely say don't do that, but they are definitely very flexible.
Be photography does everything in a timely manner. Even though I got married only a couple days before Christmas, there were pictures posted online less than two weeks after my wedding and then I received them all in the mail just shortly after that.
I would recommend Be Photography to anyone.

James is Awesome! Choosing him as our wedding photographer was a great decision. Our pictures were great and his style fit us perfectly. James was always quick to respond to me (I always heard back from him within a few hours). His pricing is extremely accommodating. The day of the wedding he took any shots that we specifically requested, but also had his own ideas that worked out beautifully. He made everyone feel comfortable and worked very quickly during the formal shots which was helpful on a brisk fall day. At the last minute my father arranged for a horse and carriage ride, and James didn't even stutter. He was right on top of everything was able to get awesome shots of us in the carriage. He even stayed later in the day to catch some really beautiful sunset pictures.

We met with several photographers before finding Be Photography, and after the first meeting with James, our decision was made. He took the time to sit down and explain the process to us, while giving us the chance to review some of his work. His answered all of our questions and I never doubted he'd provide just what we were looking for. On our wedding day, James arrived early, after he had already visited and set up at the Church! Throughout the entire day, James was always where he needed to be to capture the moments that made our day special. Several times, after something happened, family members would say "oh we should grab the photographer so he can get a picture of that". Little did they know, James was already there, capturing the moment as it happened! We had our preview pictures just one week after the wedding, and we didn't have to wait long after that to see the rest! I couldn't believe how quickly the pictures were up online and we had our CDs in hand! We've recieved so many compliments on the photos, and I love that as we look at them (over and over again) we relive the day each time because they tell the story perfectly!

James from Be Photography did a fantastic job on capturing all of our special moments from our wedding. The quality of the photos were beyond our expectations. James took photos that were intimate while not being obtrusive.

James was extremely quick to get us the photo previews as well as the CD's with all of our pictures. Our family and friends have enjoyed reliving our wedding through the moments James captured. We would recommend him for your special event as we can't wait to have him capture more memorable moments...

If you ever need a photographer I would say in a heart beat, JAMES IS THE ONE!!! The best ways to describe James are; an early bird (he shows up at least 30min earlier than he says), very energetic, flexible, friendly, creative, reasonably priced, absolutely dedicated 100% in what he does! We had engagement pre-shoot and wedding day coverage by James. He was recommended by one of my husband's friends. On the very first meeting he explained everything in detail. He will give you enough time to think about he is the one (we had no doubt). He was very accessible throughout and you could even just text him and he replies right away!!! Within few days after each photo shoot, James uploaded previews on facebook and it was great that our friends and family could enjoy those awesome pics. We even received our final CD within 2 weeks after the wedding day!!! It rained on engagement photo shoot and rained/snowed on the wedding day. While my husband and I were worried about the weather, James absolutely took advantage of this messy weather and we ended up having some phenomenal shoots. James was very optimistic no matter how bad the day was which helped us to relax and enjoy the day and to have so much fun while shooting. And, the quality /creativity of his photographs are stunning. These photographs are a lifetime memories which we will always keep close to our heart till the very end, which we will share with our future children and grand children. Wedding photos were on the top of our priority list and we couldn’t ask for anything better from James! James, you nailed it and absolutely a true blessing to have you! Keep up the great work!!!

James was fantastic - he caught such great shots of our reception and he was totally comfortable to work with for the posed shots (which neither me nor my husband had been looking forward to). He was also super quick to get our photos back to us on CDs.

James and Ric with Be Photography were awesome. When we first met with James we were very impressed. We loved the style, the philosophy, and the work that both James and Ric had. Being able to have rights to your picture cd and not having to pay of a whole bunch of extras was awesome. We really liked being able to get exactly what we wanted without all of the fluff. Ric did a great job at the wedding, keeping everyone moving and being also being out of sight from all of the guests during the festivities. We were very pleased with how the picture came out and in such a timely manner. I would definitely use Be Photography again.

James Berglier was exceptional, he was very professional, he was unique in capturing special moments. His pictures were amazing and I am very please with the final results. James was there from the getting ready to the end and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. My guests even commented to me about him and his mannerism and professionalism. Be Photography is the best and reasonable!

Ric Blackett took the pictures at my reception, and he was amazing! Showed up on time, had a ton of different ideas for cool wedding shots and different effects with the camera lens. James edited the pictures and made different effects with background contrast and made some pictures black and white. I absolutely love Be Photography and I recommend them to any couple that wants to get married. Just by going on their website and looking through their work you will know why!!

James did an amazing job photographing our wedding day! We couldn’t be any happier with how the photos turned out. James was fun to work with and was great at capturing moments without being obtrusive. James even arrived early and stayed a little after his contracted time in order to get a few last shots of me and my husband. We cannot say enough good things about him and recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you James!

James Berglie, owner of Be Photography, did the photography for our wedding at Strong Mansion on Sugarloaf Mountain. Everything went smoothly prior to the wedding, signing the contract, payment, and discussing our plan for the day - James was very flexible and gave me the freedom to plan out the day. On the wedding day, we braved the rain with a couple of umbrellas to take posed pictures outside on the mansion property - and they turned out amazing. During the rest of the wedding and reception, I barely noticed James, but he was working hard and we ended up with almost 1,000 beautiful pictures of our wedding day. Plus we had access to all of our pictures just two weeks later! Be Photography also puts up preview pictures on FaceBook, which my family and friends loved. I am so happy with the service we received from Be Photography and will be recommending James and his company to future brides.

Best Photographer! My wedding photos were beautiful...there was a great varity of shots and all the details were captured! James was very flexible and fun to work with! Best of all we recieved our pictures in about 1 week after our wedding! He really went above and beyond our expectations!

Both the owner of Be Photography, James Berglie, and the photographer, Rik Blackett, who took our photos on our wedding day were absolutely wonderful to work with. Our photos were beautiful and we could not be more pleased with everything from the photographs to the photographers. We highly recommend them! Thank you Be Photography for capturing all of the special moments of our wedding day!

My husband and I were SO pleased with the amazing photography James took for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. James was referred to me by a co-worker, who raved about his pictures, and after talking with him, meeting with him with my fiance, and exchanging several email, we understood why! James is extremely talented and has a way of capturing moments and creating effects that have a big wow factor. So many of our pictures look like something out of a magazine - we're having trouble figuring out which ones to print and frame!

James was very flexible (weather disrupted our engagement shoot plans on several occasions). We ended up having a beautiful day and James' sunset pictures in particular were stunning. After seeing our engagement pictures, we were excited to see what James would do with our wedding photography. We had all of our wedding photos in a week and as we looked through them, we were trying to figure out how James captured so many unique angles in such a short amount of time and without us even noticing him. We didn't want a photographer who was going to be bothersome to our guests, so we were very impressed by how James was able to capture so many key moments of our day without being seen.

If we had to do it all over again, we would definitely pick James again for our photography. He was honest, helpful, genuine, professional, and very talented. Thanks for everything, James!

James was an AMAZING photographer!! I constantly have people asking for his information after seeing our wedding pictures and The Belvedere (our Reception venue) has used our pictures for their wedding advertisements. He photography is truely one of a kind.

James Berglie was the photographer for my wedding, and he was absolutely amazing, From the first time I contacted him about his availability, James was always quick to respond to me (I always heard back from him within a few hours). His pricing is extremely accommodating, and he was willing to make changes to our package right up until the wedding. The day of the wedding, James arrived an hour before his scheduled start time, and got right to work. He took any shots that we specifically requested, but also had his own ideas that worked out beautifully. He made everyone feel comfortable and worked very quickly during the formal shots (which was helpful on a hot summer day). He had preview pictures ready for us on Facebook 2 days after the wedding and had all 1,600 shots edited one week after the wedding. His photographs were stunning, and I have received compliments from all of my family members and friends about our wedding photos.

James was amazing to work with. He makes you feel comfortable right away and has great ideas for pictures. He even went to the church early on my wedding day, before his paid arrival time at the house, to make sure his lighting and where he would position himself would be right. Besides the posed pictures, he got great candid shots. He was everywhere during the reception, getting the right shots, but you never notice that he's there. I also received my photos very quickly after the wedding, with options of different color variations and black and white for every single picture. From beginning to end, James and Be Photography was very responsive and super easy to work with, and the best value! I would highly recommend him.

I was recently married on 7/2/2011. I utilized Be Photography because of the impressive things that I have heard along with the impressive pictures I have seen. I got my pictures back as soon as I returned from my honeymoon!!!!! Words cannot explain how happy I am with my pictures. My photographer James truly captured all of the events that took place. My pictures tell the story of the entire day. All of the pictures are so amazing that I would put everyone in our album if I could. I would recommend Be Photography to anyone who is willing to listen, their stellar service says it all.
Newly Mrs. Harris

We couldn't be more pleased and amazed by the pictures James/Be Photography shot at our wedding! Not only is James an wonderful person, he is such a unique and gifted photographer. The poses he comes up with are so creative - my husband and I were blow away with how perfect all of pictures turned out! We also LOVED how James never missed a moment at the reception. Just when we thought the moment was over, James was able to give that moment back to us through the pictures! He flies under the radar but catches everything! We were so lucky to work with James and we will recommend him and Be Photography to everyone! Thanks James for capturing all our precious moments for us!

James Berglie was the photographer for our wedding, and he did an outstanding job. Immediately upon meeting him, we liked his laid-back personality, could sense his passion for his work, and were sure that we wanted him to be the one responsible for documenting our wedding day as a photojournalist. He communicated with us plenty before the wedding and answered all of our questions, confirmed where he should be and when, and made sure he knew what types of photos we were hoping for.

On the day of the wedding, James actually arrived over an hour early (!!!) and said he could start taking pictures then if I would like. Of course I agreed, and we were able to get some great shots before the "official" getting ready process began. Throughout the whole day and night, James was so subtle and barely noticeable...to the point where before we saw the pictures, my husband and I were asking each other, "Did you see James when we cut the cake? I don't remember him being there." Well of course he was, as we later found out when we saw our amazing photos! I think that's a wonderful quality to have to be able to be there and capture the special moments, but without being intrusive and in your face.

Upon showing my photos to friends and family, EVERYONE has said how wonderful a job he did, and that my wedding photos could be in a wedding magazine. He took shots I wouldn't have thought of and added cool effects to some of the photos. We received all of our photos on CDs with rights to reproduce them, and the preview to the photos was posted on Facebook before we even got back from our honeymoon!

All of this is to say that we are so glad that we had James from Be Photography as our photographer. Pictures are so important to me, and I met with many photographers before James, but he blew the rest of the options out of the water. If you want a reliable, skilled, easy-going photographer, go with James!

As most brides can relate, making endless decisions during the wedding planning process can be extremely stressful. Choosing James and Be Photography was the easiest and best decision for my husband and me. Throughout the entire process, James was organized, easy-going, professional and fun! I wasn’t quite sure what poses and types of shots I wanted so I let James have creative freedom. When he asked what I was looking for or if I wanted anything in particular, I believe I just said ‘I have no idea, just tell me what to do!’ James captured every moment of our wedding day – the small details, our family members and even our crazy friends. Our pictures are absolutely flawless and I have James to thank!

James did our engagement photos and Ric did our wedding photos. They were both absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! Ric did an amazing job of staying out of the way during the ceremony and reception so that it hardly seemed like he was there, but it certainly did not prevent him from taken PERFECT pictures! The pictures were on pictage just 9 days after our wedding and I have gotten so many comments on how great they are!

I have been to several weddings and I have never seen a photographer go above and beyond the way James Berglie does. From start to finish BePhotography was everything we asked for and more. They provided us with amazing photos that painted the perfect picture of our wedding day. I would highly recommend BePhotography for all occasions.

We didn't want the typical posed looking wedding pictures that you are used to seeing in wedding albums. We wanted more modern, artistic pictures. We found James through our DJ's website. His pictures were amazing, and the way he worked his pricing allowed us to pick exactly what we wanted/needed, making it easy to keep our wedding within the budget we had set. He was always quick to respond to my emails, and very laid back and easy to work with. He had our pictures back to us in 1 1/2 weeks-all edited and on a disc ready for us to print whatever we wanted. All of our friends and family are amazed by the amount of pictures we have to choose from, the shots he got, and how quickly he got them to us. We are in love with the pictures he took and are going to have a hard time choosing what pictures we want in our album. Fortunately though he has already made up a sample album for us, so we at least have something to start out with. We are so glad that we have so many pictures though, (over 800!) the day goes by so quickly... No matter how hard you try, it's impossible to take everything in and notice everything. We have lots of memories now thanks to James! He is a talented photographer and we highly recommend him!

James Berglie of Be Photography LLC was absolutely fantastic, I couldn't have had a better experience with my wedding photographer. I received a thousand final prints, with so many of those "perfect shots", I was beyond satisified. James was an absolute pleasure to work with, he was corteous, calm, responsive, professional, even my guests commented on what a great photographer I had. He will do anything for the perfect shot, not minding getting dirty by laying on the ground! I barely noticed him throughout the entire day, he was so stealth as he took the photos. When we started running out of time and I started getting stressed out, he remained incredibly calm and worked even faster, he couldn't have handled it better. The price we paid was amazing, an absolute deal, and I would definitely recommend him to any future bride or anyone in need of the perfect photographer.

James was Great! He responded to all my emails with more information than I had thought to ask for. He offered great suggestions for how to make things flow (we took our formal shots before the ceremony, and he was great about helping me think through the "reveal" moment when Chris would see me). And he subtly took pcitures throughout the evening. If there are people and combinations of people you want--think it through ahead of time, and he will help make sure they happen. You will Love working with Be Photography!

My husband and I cannot possibly recommend Be Photography highly enough. We have just received our final photo album (it has been a lengthy process as we also ordered for family members), and each one is a work of art. We received our personal album many months ago, and friends and family rave about it every time someone looks through it. A couple of aunts have even ruefully commented that they wish their children's photos had turned out like ours did! Engaged friends all want to know who did the photography, and we recommend Be Photography to every one of them. James, our photographer, has worked closely with us for over a year in helping to select photos and personally formatting our books, as well as offering very useful suggestions on decisions about album details.

We knew we wanted to use Be Photography as soon as we met with James. He was so upbeat yet professional, and the wedding photographs he showed us were just what we were looking for. James takes a more journalistic approach, and our wedding photos really tell the story of our wedding day, from the very beginning (hair, makeup, groomsmen playing foosball) to the very end. I never noticed James throughout the day, but the photos prove that he was EVERYWHERE. We can't believe some of the incredible ceremony and dance floor shots he got. He must have some sixth sense for where the action/exciting shot is about to be, and he has a remarkable eye for the candid reaction shots that really display the emotions of the day on our, and our families', faces. All of our friends and family have commented on this when looking through our photos.

Even our formal shots don't look too posed. James would take us to a location that he thought would set up a good shot, and then encouraged my husband and me just to interact--to talk, to laugh, to kiss. He would then snap away with his camera. These photos look so much more natural than the stiff posed bride-and-groom shots that I so often see. James had never been to our site before, but he got there early to scope out the grounds and pick places that he thought would look good in photographs, and we wholeheartedly agree with his choices of locations. James also took every photo we requested of him in a list we gave him before our wedding day. He moved through all of the formal family and wedding party photos quickly and efficiently, allowing my husband and I plenty of time for our one-on-one shots before our cocktail hour. He seemed to just understand what we wanted.

Finally, James has been very responsive throughout this whole process--which has been about two years now, from when we first reached out to him about discussing possibly using him as our wedding photographer. He promptly replied to each email, and methodically answered all of our questions, both leading up to the wedding day and afterward when we were designing our albums.

Oh, and James takes a lot of photos! It is so wonderful to have such a thorough documentation of our wedding. We wanted to include each and every photo in our personal wedding album, though of course there was not space--but we enjoy breaking out the CD with all of the photos on it every now and again to relive our special day.

We can't believe what a value Be Photography is. Considering the quality of photos, the professionalism, James' intuition about where to be and what shots to take--we would have gladly paid at least twice as much as what we did for the wedding photos we have. Everyone should use Be Photography for their wedding!

AMAZING. James did an amazing job. He took candid photos that seriously look like something you would see in a fairytale. He is flexible with the wedding day craziness and I hardly knew he was there. he can take a photo that you'd think would be boring and make it look like a million bucks. He also had preview pics up within 2-3 days and the CD arrived at our house less than 2 weeks after the wedding! I will be referring people to him for many many many years to come.

James did a wonderful job photographing our wedding and we couldn't be happier! He always responded quickly to my emails and was very flexible with our small, unique wedding. His prices are extremely reasonable, he had our photos ready for review VERY quickly and he fit right in with our crazy group. I highly recommend him for any event! The photos are absolutely gorgeous and turned out even better than I hoped they would.

What can I say about James? Not only was extremely easy to work with, he had a great sense of humor! I honestly regret nothing from hiring James to do our wedding photography. He was never pushy, and he really faded into the background. I would recommend him to anyone because he was an absolute joy to work with!

If I could go higher than a "5" for "quality of service" and "value for cost" for Be Photography (James) I would. We ended up choosing him because 1) the examples of his pictures he showed us were great, 2) his prices were very reasonable, and 3) he was very personable and we felt comfortable with him. The photographs from my wedding are AMAZING and all of my guests who have seen them continue to comment on how great they are. James was there from the minute my bridesmaids and I stepped out of the limo, to the minute my new husband and I got back in the limo at the end of the night (even though we had only booked him for 6 hours and our reception ended up running a little over that!). We barely noticed him the entire night... we still ask each other how he got some of the shots he did!!! Looking at other people's wedding pictures and comparing them to my own, not only to do I like mine better overall ;) , I see them as more "artistic" and visually appealing.

Bottom line - I would HIGHLY reccommend Be Photography/James to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. I would bet money that you will not be disappointed.

James was great to work with. We have an extremely large family with multiple combinations of relatives that we tried our best to schedule for pictures. Despite lots of changes to the schedule, James was always flexible and friendly. He also did a great job of a pre-ceremony photo shoot on the streets around the wedding venue and at the Washington Monument in Baltimore. The Be business model of giving you a dvd with rights to print your own selections is a huge value and savings over other competitors.

James photographed our wedding and did such an AMAZING job. We didn't even notice him during the reception, and he was so quick to get our pictures to us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James and BePhotography to anyone!

James was absolutely fantastic - I recommend him to everyone I know planning a wedding. My photos are gorgeous, yet I never felt he was obtrusive. I’m not particularly photogenic – all I wanted was one REALLY good wedding photo. I got way more than that! Our venue was sort of plain inside, so I was a little worried that we would have trouble with the posed shots, but James came up with some fantastic shots outside along a fence line and some trees that I never would have thought of! Tthey’re some of my favorite photos.

James was my wedding photographer and my husband and I are extremely pleased with our photos. The day of our wedding James was very prompt and professional. He was able to blend in with the background but still capture many great moments. After the wedding our photos were ready to view in only a matter of days. I would definitely recommend James to others wanting a fantastic photographer.

I can’t come up with enough compliments for James and Ric. When I started looking at photographers, I had lots of folks suggesting their photographer from their wedding. I searched for hours and days through weddingwire and came across James and Be Photography. The great reviews were correct in every way. From the beginning, James made us feel so comfortable. We instantly bonded with him over what we wanted and were looking for. He took our engagement pictures for us, and did such a wonderful job. We had no worries at this point. He kept in contact with us thought the entire planning process. The day of the wedding came, and both James and Ric made us feel at ease. You hardly noticed them as they took pictures, but they caught so many moments! If that wasn’t enough, James got the edited pictures to us online by the time we got back from our honeymoon, all 1200 of them. Everyone who have see the pictures have complimented us on our decision to go with Be Photography. James is truly an artist and such a professional. I would rate him higher if I could. Thank you Be Photography!!!!!!

James Berglie of BePhotography was awesome to work with throughout our wedding planning process! Communication was easy as he answered emails very promptly. We are so happy to have chosen him! The wedding pictures were awesome, not the typical poses that you would expect, but very creative. We loved the results and would recommend him to anyone (and already have!)

Great overall and have recommended to others. Only part that we'd request to be done differently would be photos of the bride and groom alone before the ceremony (formals). In the rush of the day, we never thought to ask for these and didn't even realize that we had no pictures of just the bride and groom on their own. Great pictures but my wife does regret not having those of just her in her wedding dress. Thanks again James!

We had an outdoor sunset ceremony on the water. Sounds beautiful, until you factor in the very small window of time for photographs! But Ric was amazing to work with, he took everything we threw at him with a smile and a quick laugh. When we first met with James, he said that if we forget the photographer was there during the reception he has done his job, and that is exactly what we got. Spontaneous photographs remind you of the spirit and happiness of the day so much more than stiff formal poses. We are so lucky to have had Ric capture all of our wedding day moments :)

Working with James was an absolute pleasure, and we would reccomend him to anyone getting married. Aside from his outstanding work, my husband and I knew we had found the best person to work with after our first meeting with James, when he effortlessly braved a blizzard to meet with us. James is punctual, knowledgeable, and extremely talented, and we have been overwhelmed by the flood of compliments we have recieved on our wedding photos.

working with james was SUCH a pleasure. he was always on top of things (responding to emails quickly, etc.) which is a breath of fresh air when you're in contact with so many wedding vendors on a daily basis.

the day of he got to the site a bit early and was so patient for us to get ready - and really just wanted to be there to capture every special moment that he could (getting the dress on, the groom tying his tie, etc.). he was also really creative and had great ideas in addition to the traditional shots.

and when it actually came down to wedding time - james was like a ninja wedding photographer! when we got our proofs back, i kept thinking "how did he get this shot?! i didn't even realize he was there!" he was EVERYWHERE and captured some truly amazing moments (about 1240 of them actually - phew). i know i'm the bride, so i'm pretty biased, but i just can't stop looking through them and grinning ear to ear. family and friends have just loved looking at them, too.

james was wonderful to work with - and his product is incredible. i would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a stellar wedding photographer!

James did a great job and we would definitely recommend him :)

The absolute most important thing to me on my day was having a great photographer and I did! If you want photojournalism, Be Photography is amazing. The pictures turned out great and each one was "happy". Other photography companies I had interviewed with had very boring and "sad" pictures that didn't tell a happy wedding story. These were complete opposite and what I prayed to find! :)

Ricardo shot our wedding. He was very friendly and got along with everyone in the wedding as well as parents before hand. He showed up a 3 hours before the ceremony (which I felt kind of bad about since he wasnt being paid to be there until 1), but it meant so much to see how serious he was about it. He was very prepared. He knew exactly where the best lighting was outside and what part of the building he wanted to shoot at and he did a great job. He seemed to be quite the perfectionist :) he made sure shadows werent on our faces, and made sure no one was squinting, blinking etc.

He also got a ton of pictures at the reception and I didn't even notice he was there. (I guess that's the whole point!) But I was so worried about finding a great photographer, and after talking with both James and Ricardo, I was comfortable, relieved and excited, right away!

I recommend them for any wedding, they really know what photojournalism is!

James completely exceeded our expectations for our wedding! He arrived early and began shooting - even before the time that we had paid him for! He managed to capture every moment of the preparation, ceremony, and reception without ever being in the way of the guests or the fun. All of our guests commented on how wonderful and lively the pictures were - multiple people said that they were "not like normal wedding pictures," which we took as a compliment! the pictures captured the spirit of our wedding perfectly, so we were thrilled with James' work. The quality of the pictures was unbeatable, and the totally reasonable price just made it that much better!

Working with James was effortless. The pictures were fantastic! A guest of ours commented that she didn't think it would be possible to capture the energy and excitement of the day in photos, yet he did so perfectly. The photos were better than we could have imagined. We could not be happier.

- Andrew and Eleanor

James was so easy to work with and his pictures were fabulous. We barely even knew he was there. He was fast, efficient and very professional. James happily accommodated all of my picture requests. I would recommend James to any bride!

James was absolutely amazing. So professional and such a genuinely nice person, it made posing for pictures easy. Not only did he capture countless priceless moments, but the proofs were ready for viewing after a couple of days. Every picture on our CD was perfect, he made our day that much better.

For brides that are planning their weddings - James from Be Photography is a wonderful photographer that is very professional, fun and easy-going! His prices are very reasonable and you hardly know he is taking your picture. I cannot recommend him enough!!

I am so thankful I had James, from Be Photography, capture my special day. I just got my album and I must say I was ecstatic. His photos captured the essence of my wedding. James was very timely; I saw some proofs a week after my wedding and had my album soon thereafter. James was unobtrusive, yet captured unbelievable moments. His photographs are very artistic, which I prefer. I would highly recommend James for brides looking for remarkable photos taken by a professional.

This was the first time I had to purchase wedding photos or even a photographer. My son Dennis was getting married and we wanted to help out. I contacted Be Photography at a request of a friend of mine and after looking at their website photos. The day of the wedding was the best!!! James was very professional and willing to take whatever we asked of him. I want to tell you the photos made my son and new wife look like they steped off a cover of Brides Magazine we are very pleased and will continue to use them in the future. Thanks James for making the memories of that day even more brilliant with your photos.

James, thank you so much for capturing the joy, love, and fun of our wedding day with such precision! The first testament to your work was as we looked through the shots of the two of us and actually loved them, when we typically hate pictures of ourselves! Then as we looked at the reception shots, we kept saying "Wow we didn't even notice him there!"... You were so unobtrusive yet very thorough. We are just delighted!

James was our photographer and was AMAZING!!!!!! As soon as my husband and I met James we knew that he was it. He was so down to earth and made my husband happy by saying "you won't notice I'm there taking pictures". He was right! He took the most amazing pictures during the ceremony and reception but we never noticed he was there! My guests said he was the most active photographer they have ever seen and they never had to worry about taking a picture because he was always on top of it. We have so many pictures and they all turned out amazing. My family and friends are saying they are some of the best wedding pictures they have ever seen! He was so fast on editing them all and getting them back to us. I would recommend James to anyone I knew in a heartbeat!

I loved using BePhotography LLC for our wedding. Every step was professional and easy. I felt like the photographer, James really went out of his way to make our day perfect and to capture every moment. He was very nice and easy to convey my wishes to. All of the photos came out amazing and I couldn't be happier. I recommend BePhotography to all my friends and family.

James did a FABULOUS job. The pictures were wonderful. He was professional and responsive to all our questions. He gave wonderful suggestions and was very happy to accomodate our requests. He services were VERY reasonably priced. He allowed us to only pay for digital prints (no album required!) and we had a DVD of beautiful photos to us within three weeks of the wedding (even with the mail delay from the blizzard!). We were able to put our photos up on shutterfly (which has much more reasonable rates than Pictage for our family and friends to order prints,) and we made our own album using Apple iPhoto. We could not have asked for more. He was wonderful.

Hiring Be Photography for our wedding was the best decision we made! We received information on them from friends who said how great they were. James Berglie was our photographer, very professional, responded to every email within a few hours and best of all very inexpensive. My husband and I had to pay for our own wedding and cost was at the top of our list, it was an added surprise that he was so amazing. My brother-in-law just booked James too based on how amazing he was at our wedding.

Mr. James Berglie with BePhotography (www.bephotography.net) captured our November wedding at the Milton Inn, Sparks, MD. We were able to plan our wedding ceremony and reception in just two short months thanks to people like Mr. Berglie. His prompt, comprehensive and friendly email communication facilitated smooth and confident arrangements before and after the wedding. Mr. Berglie reworked the pricing structure substantially online for us to accommodate our timeline and small party size (he hooked it up). He catered to our needs and wasn’t at all pushy about selling us things we weren’t interested in.

Mr. Berglie’s approach: “I’ll be mostly capturing the essence of the day, as a photojournalist, I lean much more towards candids than traditional posed shots, and my approach is highly unobtrusive. – However, any posed shots you require – just ask!” As he captured the ceremony and the reception he moved with the stealth of a ninja. If you’re familiar with the Milton Inn, you know it’s tiny. We could not have squeezed another person in the red room where we held the ceremony though he managed to capture the service and the audience discreetly and from all angles. We, the couple wed, didn’t even notice he was there.

The pictures were edited and ready to view online in just three days! We’ve never seen such a beautiful and interesting collection of pictures. His creativity and variety of shots were impressive. Check out his pictures online, you’ll see what we mean. They’re great. He borrowed our rings to take shots with our table settings and décor, created some beautiful posed shots of us out front of the Milton Inn, and didn’t miss a moment or guest. Most pictures were developed in both black and white and color.

His professionalism, promptness, laid back but attentive demeanor and his creative approach make him the perfect photographer for any special event.

My sister and I have both used James as our wedding photographer. His photographs are gorgeous and you will not be dissapointed. We have recommended him to numerous friends and they all love his work.

3 friends reccommended Be Photography to me, and I see why! My husband and I commented to each other that we did not even realize James was present at the reception, yet we have hundreds of high quality images to view! James was so friendly and reliable. He communicated with us before, during, and after the wedding. We would not have minded if we noticed him at the reception since he was so friendly and down to earth. He has a talent for getting the "money shots" without interrupting the event in any way.

I struggled to find the right approach to review BePhotography. James did everything perfect ... and I mean everything. I didn't know what to focus on.

PROs:
Wedding Day and Picture Quality 6.0/5.0:
I'm pretty sure James has been trained in the art of STEALTH. He is so unobtrusive during the events you would think he is not even there. When it was all over we were left with hundreds of timeless moments captured by someone who has true passion for photography.They were wonderfully packaged and delivered within a week of the honeymoon.

Perople Skills 6.0/5.0
From the first meeting to the picture delivery, James was extremely professional and responsive. James' talent and passion for photography gives you confidence that you found a solid vendor. He is such a fun person to interact with, you may just want to add him to your guest list ...

CONs:
*BLANK*

The service that BePhotography provides is smooth, effiecient, and best of all comforting to the bride. BePhotography provide you with one less vendor to worry about. Selecting BePhotography is the best decision you will make during this entire process ...

Responsiveness was quick and insightful. Be Photography's website was very helpful in seeing their photo style and noninvasive approach to photography. They were very each to talk to and the photos came out great!

Our wedding was on the beach in Assateague, VA in 2009. This review is long overdue.

As his site states, James is an ACTUAL photojournalist (take a look at all the work he's done - not just the weddings). My husband and I both work in the media and it was very important to us that our photographer be as inconspicuous as possible while capturing the story of our wedding. He wasn't in a single frame of the wedding video, yet he somehow captured every moment of our day perfectly.

I had no plan as far as poses or certain shots that I wanted, but James came prepared with a ton. They weren't your typical stuffy, posed wedding pictures. We had so much fun taking them and it shows in every one of the pictures! He even noticed & captured the little details without us mentioning them - like the sand castle aisle, our "special guests" & the wild horses. The pre and post wedding shots went smoothly and we weren't even late for dinner!

James was patient as he worked with us to create the perfect album design and layout. I am SO indecisive. He is quick to return emails & answer phone calls. The customer service can't be beat!

We were so thrilled with James & all of the pictures! Our album is beautiful! We recently printed one of the pictures to canvas and it's gorgeous! We would have paid twice as much for James. He really should charge more - but I'm glad he doesn't!

James worked his butt off on the actual day of our ceremony. He was sweating bullets in the heat to get all of the awesome shots. He was a machine...b/c you didnt even know he was there and he really captured every single moment I would have wanted him to. I didnt meet with him beforehand...just over the phone and he put me at ease that he would be as casual as we wanted him to be since we had a smaller more intimate wedding. The pictures make it look like it was the event of the year....I dont think my husband and I have ever looked more elegant and more beautiful. I am so happy with the amount of pictures taken and the quality taken. James was absolutely awesome and we couldnt have chosen a better vendor for the day!

He is already booked for my best friend's wedding next year!

I was so happy with the work James did for us! He was extremely professional and the pictures turned out amazing! He truly captured the spirit of our day!

James Berglie from Be Photography was amazing! James was incredibly responsive to our requests. He was entirely un-invasive, but captured all the shots that we wanted. I don't even remember seeing him during the party, but I know he was there somewhere. James was awesome!

Be Photography LLC is a wonderful company. The owner James Berglie was the photographer at our wedding. He completely went with the flow of the day, and was flexible to change throughout the day. His service more than met our expectations. His posed shots are beautiful and unique, and he captured every important moment as well as fantastic candid shots. My husband and I wanted a few posed pictures at the church and then that was it; we did not want to be bothered for the rest of the evening. James respected our decision and did not pull us away from our family and friends. However, he gave us the option to change our minds at any point during the night. I hardly knew he was there, yet when I needed him, he was easy to spot. My pictures were posted within 2-3 weeks of my wedding. James has been extremely easy to contact, and he responds within 1 day. Great job Be Photograph!

Our wedding photographer was James Berglie of Be Photography. He has great work, and is very creative in setting up his shots. He was very quick to get the images to us, and he is very affordable.

Be Photography continues to wow us with their amazing timeless photographs while always being so great in their service to couples. Every couple we speak to says James is incredible on every level!

James is so talented and friendly! Always looking forward to working with Be Photography!

What can I say, from one pro to the other. James is talented, artistic and professional. Most of all is just a great guy to know and be around. His brides love him and his work. Stylish, creative and fun kind of sums it up.

Be has a GREAT team of photographers that are super creative! Be definitely captures the details of your wedding day in a beautifully artistic way! Fun and comfortable to be around, also! I would recommend Be Photography to every bride!

I have worked with James throughout the years and have found him not only be one of the most gifted photographers I've ever worked with but also one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet. His style is professional and laid back. He's always aware of the crowd and makes sure to catch those precious candid moments. He is a pleasure to work with and if you are lucky enough to secure his services for your event, you'll treasure his work.

This photographer is a delight to work with. I will be happy to feature his work on my website as well as promote him to our clients - INTRIGUE - floral design & decor www.intrigue-designs.com

Be Photography is a fantastic company with remarkable talent. I am very pleased with their work. - Having had the opportunity to work with James this past weekend at Chase Court in Baltimore I feel the need to update my endorsement. Not only is his work stunning, but, his style is natural. I will be referring him to our clients on a regular basis. ~ Historic Events ~
