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!

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 for us!

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 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!

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 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!

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!

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 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!!!!!!

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!

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!)

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 :)

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!

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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 6.0/5.0From 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!

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!

James was amazing to work with. He put me at ease throughout the day! He was able to capture amazing shots without being in your face. At the reception I didn�t even notice him until the end of the night. The pictures are amazing and we received our album within a couple of weeks. I highly recommend James and Be Photography!!!

James was fantastic to work with! He captured many different moments at the wedding I would have missed myself without him! His unique perspective also captured the energy and emotion of the day extremely well. I'm also very happy with how quickly the photographs were available, they were online ready for us to preview one week after the wedding when we returned from our honeymoon! We also received our CD book with copies of the pictures just days later. I would highly recommend him to any bride, and will also use him again in the future!

James was extremely professional while maintaining a beautiful rapport with all of the bridal party and guests throughout the event. It seemed like he captured every moment of the wedding and reception - particularly the nuanced moments where the emotion of the day was palpable. His photography is beautiful and vivid.

We found Be Photography through a friend that had also used them. After one meeting with James we knew they would be the right choice for our wedding day. James was very responsive to my millions of pre wedding questions and was so helpful in setting my mind at ease regarding the photography. He showed up ready to get started immediately. The whole day he was snapping away, but we never even noticed he was there. For the formal pictures after the ceremony he was such a champ treking through the rain and mud to get AMAZING shots for us. We got our pictures back while still on our honeymoon and were just floored at what he captured throughout the day. I never even saw him at the ceremony, yet the pictures really captured the intimacy and joy we felt as we said our vows. The formal pictures were simply breathtaking. I couldn't believe it was us in those gorgeous shots!!! We laughed out loud looking through the reception pictures remembering how much fun we and our guests had. He really captured the essence and emotion of our day and was so easy to work with. I wish I could give more stars in each category for Be Photography!

James Berglie was the photographer for my wedding and he was a pleasure to work with. We were very satisfied with all the pictures he took and we received many compliments from our friends and family. James was easy to work with from the beginning until the end. We just received our wedding album and couldn't be any happier. If we had to do it all over again, we would still pick James.

My wedding photos were amazing! James and Bephotography did such a great job! He was so great to work with and I received everything so fast. The combination of style and elegance was really breathtaking! I have gotten so many compliments on my pictures and my album was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! I definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality photographer! Thanks so much James!

Be Photography was the best!! Very happy with our wedding pictures!! Great job and very friendly!! Thanks for everything!!

I am so glad we went with Be Photography for our wedding pictures. James was very professional and always responded to my emails promptly. On the day of the wedding, he was on time and did exactly what he said he would. During the reception, I barely noticed he was there, yet he got some great shots. Our album was great and he got it to us very quickly. Absolutely no complaints at all, and I still admire my wedding photos constantly!

James was amazing to work with. My wedding pictures turned out beautiful, the packages are super afordable and the customer service he provides is amazing. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer for their wedding day.

James is amazing and is highly recommended by us. We loved his work. My husband is also a photographer and even he was extremely happy with the photos and the service we recieved and he is hard to please especially when it comes to photos. If you want a great photographer get Be Photography and definitely ask for James!!

This is where you want to book your photography. Everything was so easy and perfect. James is helpful with all the details (before and after). Jamie was our photographer and he did a wonderful job. The pictures are beautiful. He was early, he was funny and professional. It was a blast, and he is so good at what he does. Thank you guys!! Highly recommended.

Our experience with Be Photography was wonderful. James was easy to work with from our initial meeting through delivering our photo album. We had specifically asked James to take photos of all of our guests, not just us. We have some great pictures - without any "table photos" -- you know, where the photographer just huddles up each table while they are eating. All of our guests loved the photos. One of the bridesmaids commented that "even the traditional shots weren't traditional". Having a Catholic wedding, we had also specifically emphasized that it was important for James not to be seen during the ceremony. I didn't notice him at all during the ceremony - or the reception -- which resulted in some beautiful candid shots of us and our guests.I would not hesitate to recommend Be Photography to anyone needing a photojournalist.

James was very professional, unobstrusive, and was exactly what we were looking for. His photojournalistic style was appealing to us as well as the price (the best we found). He gave us exactly what we were looking for in posed portraits, not too many, and he got through family portraits faster than I have ever seen before! (Within 20 min) We would recommend them to anyone!

James Berglie provided me with wedding photos better than I could have imagined. He was very organized throughout the entire planning process, responding to email that same day. On our wedding day, he managed every shot we wanted, and creatively took shots we were not planning for. He captured briliant photos of many guests which we will all treasure. He also kept an eye on me all night for whenever I called him over to take a random picture I was hoping for. Packaging of the photo CD is gorgeous and was quick. I highliy recommend James Berglie, bephotography.net-Andrea

Be Photography did an excellent job. Our photos were wonderful. When we were looking through them for the first time we kept thinking that each photo was more beautiful than the one before it.

We were planning our wedding from another state, and by luck, my mom found Be Photography through a wedding event. We were close to deciding not to have photographer at all. I had searched the internet, including scouring the chat boards at theknot.com, and everything was either too expensive or not what we were looking for. We wanted a photographer who acted like a photojournalist, and I was excited with Be Photography's online portfolio and surprised that the prices were within our tiny budget. James (the owner) was very flexible, agreeing to meet with us on the one day that we were in town. He brought many portfolios, including one that featured our wedding location, and was extremely professional, answering our long list of questions. We were impressed that his photos were very different than the typical ones taken at our site, and his style resonated with both of us. We wanted a photographer who could document our event, unobtrusively capturing images of friends and family, and decided to book him during the meeting. His portfolio and professionalism caused us to realize that not having a photographer was a mistake, and he blew away the other photographers that we met with. James was always easily reachable by email during the planning, and was responsive to any changes I made to the schedule. On the day of the event, he showed up before I did. He was dressed professionally, acted professionally and warmly, and his photos were unbelievably beautiful. Within a few weeks, he had uploaded our photos (far more than we paid for) to Pictage, where we could pick through our favorites for our album. You can send a link to this site to friends and family, with a warning -- Pictage will send advertisement emails to them asking them to purchase photos, which can be purchased more inexpensively from other online photo stores after you receive your CD from James. I finally asked Pictage to stop sending emails, and they responded immediately. Not a huge deal. Another suggestion - James asked for a list of who we wanted in our staged photos, and I didn't give this the attention it deserved. We took photos after the ceremony, and I was a bit in shock and forgot to get pictures with some important people that I wish I had photos with. Plan ahead for this.It took me awhile to choose our photos for our wedding album, and I anticipated a delay because James was in the midst of wedding season. As soon as I emailed him with the list of photos, he got the photos printed (he uses an outside printing company that creates a high quality product), created our album, and sent it to us. He shipped via UPS and provided shipping tracking numbers. Our album is stunning, and we have a CD of images that we can print at any time. Absolutely worth the cost, in fact, a total bargain. I highly recommend James and will hire him again.

Prices are super reasonable. He takes a lot more pictures than the package states. All pictures are edited and posted on Pictage within about 2 weeks. You get the rights to all the pics on a DVD. You also get an album. Great deal! Prices as low at $1100.

Be Photography did an amazing job at our wedding. James (our photographer) too so many great pictures that really told our story. There were so many great pictures that we found it hard to choose the best ones for our album and ordered many extras to have. The funny thing was we hardly noticed the photographer at all at the reception, but he caught every moment.The album turned out beautifully and we get compliments on it every time we show friends and family. I would highly reccomend Be Photography for any event that you want to capture.

James Berglie was the photographer for our wedding on 12/1/07. He was absolutely wonderful. He was very professional and his work was outstanding. During the wedding and reception I hardly even knew he was there. We have gone to many weddings where the bride and groom were constantly being positioned for pictures and the photographer was in their faces during every special moment. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding and the special moments were just ours. He provided our photographs very promptly and we could not be happier with the results. Our photo album is beautiful. I highly recommend using Be Photography for any special event.

James at BE PHOTOGRAPHY did our photographs from our recent wedding. He did an absolutely amazing job. There wasn't one special moment in our whole day that wasn't captured in a beautiful picture. He had endless great ideas for beautiful spots to take pictures and did so in a timely manner so that we were able to get back to the most special day of our lives. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer and can guarantee you won't be dissapointed. I can't say enough about how happy we were with the job that he did and how beautiful our pictures turned out!!

The minute my fiance and I sat down with James for the first time we knew that he was the perfect photographer for us. In addition to loving his work, he was the type of person who we felt very comfortable talking to and knew the feeling was mutual. He is very personable, which was important to us, as well as professional in every aspect of the business. The day of our wedding, James' professionalism allowed for our guests and us to really appreciate the day and not be bombarded with "photo-ops". Afterwards, we were extremely pleased with the product he created for us, from the pictures to the album and CD. I greatly appreciated James always keeping me up to date as far as the status of our pictures and my family loved viewing them on Pictage. I recommend James to anyone I come across who is getting married. The next time I need a photographer I definitely know who to go to.

We could not have been happier with our choice for a wedding photographer. He was not only professional, but made us feel at ease with the wedding process. When it was finally time for the wedding day, we barely knew he was there. We were able to just relax and enjoy this much awaited day. When my husband and I first saw proofs, we could not believe how well the pictures turned out. Since we did not even notice that he was there, we could not believe how many wonderful pictures were taken when we were enjoying our special day. I would recommend this photographer to anyone who is looking for a great photographer to capture memories from the most special day of their lives.

Using BE Photography was absolutly the best decision that I made for my wedding day. We could not have been more pleased with James' work! He was able to capture all of the most important moments on our wedding day. His manner of shooting was so unobstructive that most of guest had no idea that we even had a photographer! The photos taken will be a beautiful reminder of each step we made to becoming husband and wife. I would recomend using BE photography to ANYONE that needs a professional photographer, especially weddings.

My photographs turned out amazing and we constantly get compliments on our album. We had complte control over what photographs were chosen, the arrangement everything. Plus, he was almost unseen during the cermony and the reception. I would recommend Be photography to anyone that needs a professional photographer.

James Berglie is FANTASTIC!! Very easy to work with, responds quickly to any questions or concerns. Always polite and professional. Our pictures are AMAZING! Everyone still talks about them! I HIGHLY recommend!!

James was awesome! He got all the great photos without us even noticing he was around. And he's inexpensive. Highly recommend him!

The most important thing I wanted for my wedding was a talented photographer who would give me photos I would be thrilled to look through for years to come. After countless hours of research I found James Berglie, of BePhotography. During our initial meeting he showed me his portfolio and talked about his approach to wedding photography, but even more importantly, he listened to what I wanted. I knew that his photojournalistic style was a perfect match for me, and I wasn't disappointed. James was accessible throughout the process, and his coverage of the wedding was flawless. He was unobtrusive, and yet he managed to get incredible shots in the worst of conditions. The day was completely overcast and rainy, and the interior was poorly lit because it was an old historic building, but the moments he captured were priceless and later beautifully retouched to perfection. I have since worked with him on other projects and followed his work through his blog, and I am constantly amazed by the quality and vibrancy of his work. I am happy to recommend him to everyone I know!

BePhotography was amazing!! James is a unique individual with a creative eye. My wedding album is gorgeous!!

We absolutely LOVED James. He was so wonderful, from our first meeting through the ordering of the album. He made our day, and more importantly the memories of our day, perfection.

James from Be Photography was absolutely amazing to work with. We didn't want to use a large, impersonal company to do our photos, and once we met James, we knew he would be perfect! He's very personable, flexible, and his pictures are stunning. We were on a time-crunch for formal portraits, but James kept things running smoothly, and we got everything done in about a half hour. We've been back from our honeymoon for 2 days now, and our pictures are already up on the website for viewing. We really couldn't be any happier. I would definitely recommend James to anyone who wants a non-intrusive photographer who has amazing pictures - he even made our spontaneous conga line look glamorous!

I hate having my picture taken - and that was the first thing I told James when we met with him. A year later and we have the most beautiful pictures I could have imagined - I guess I don't hate having James take my picture! My husband and I were on a budget and really concerned about getting beautiful pictures after the many photography disasters we've seen at other weddings. James answered my emails promptly, was responsive to my questions, and showed up at the venue early - in fact, he was getting out of his car as the bridal party pulled up! His ideas for locations worked well, he captured the feel of the event perfectly, and everyone that has seen the photos has loved them. We even had one turned into a painting to hang in our house. James was one of the best vendors we had, and I would recommend him highly.

James and Ric were really great to work with. Pictures were beautiful and the cost was completely reasonable. James was very willing to let me decide what I wanted. There was no pressure to buy a certain package.

James provided us with a level of service beyond our expectations. That level extended beyond my fiance and myself to our families, wedding party, and friends. He was open and available to all communication and requests beginning with our first contact through the preperation stages, the wedding day, and up to now- the final delivery of our albums. We chose James because of this and his documentary style. His candid shots captured all the emotions of the day better than posed shots ever could. James's keen eye for a good picture lead many of our guests to order prints themselves. His eagerness to please and passion for photography and artistry drive him to give the bride, groom, and all persons involved beautiful memories of the utmost quality. We could not recommend him more.

James was great! He showed up early, took pictures without being intrusive, and he responded promptly to all of our requests. The pictures were wonderful and we received the proofs and the album much sooner than we anticipated.

I was completely pleased with Be Photography. Once I got used to the idea of having someone follow me around and take pictures, I was totally at ease. He captured some wonderful moments and displayed several of them in various ways - color, black and white, sepia. A CD of his photos is part of the package, as well as a photo album, which he put together. I loved that. The album was ready by the time we got back from the honeymoon trip. The photographer himself was quite personable and agreeable, professional but not so professional as to be stuffy.

James was fantastic at dealing with our formal pictures, managing the wedding party, and helping us put together our wedding album and gift albums for our parents. He was flexible on site and found creative locations for our pictures. We had a challenging lighting environment for our ceremony and many of our pre-ceremony formal pictures included shadows. We wish that steps would have been taken to reduce the shadows. On the whole, we were very pleased with the coverage of our wedding and reception and loved the candid, photojournalist style, as it captured the essence of the events.

James was a wonderful vendor to work with from our very first meeting to the delivery of our photo album. His style was exactly what we were looking for and he was almost invisible during the reception. He got all of the photos we asked for and was extremely prompt getting the pictures ready for ordering. We are extremely happy with our wedding album and would highly recommend him to any bride and groom planning their wedding.

Great value, very professional and extremely fast service.

James was an amazing photographer. He was helpful from the first day I met him until three months after the wedding while selecting albums, etc. He's down to earth yet professional. His approach allows the best shots to be taken with minimum impact on the event. The requested posed pictures were taken quickly, and the candids were handled very well. I can't say enough about Be Photography. I've recommended James to many friends and family members.

Great job, lots of pictures to choose from, great quality of photos, very easy to get in touch with, was very flexible with time, and great prices!!!

James arrived a few minutes early to the first location and took beautiful formal and candid photographs throughout the ceremony and reception. He was great!! And the turn around on our finished photographs was amazing.

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 ~
