Kevin and Brian Donnelly were great photographers for our wedding. They were able to get multiple shots and were very organized and helped the process along promptly. They were responsive and enthusiastic. I definitely would recommend D2 wedding photography for your wedding!!!

I am what my family and friends dubbed the "reluctant bride." It wasn't that I didn't want to get married, I just didn't have a big wedding and be the center of attention. I absolutely don't like to be the focus of attention, and was particularly adverse to having a photographer snapping pictures of me all day. So, when one of my fiancee's clients recommended d2 Photography, I groaned and reluctantly agreed to give them a chance.
At our first meeting, Brian asked a lot of questions - many that I didn't have the answers for yet. But he also answered all of my questions and reassured me that he wouldn't be in my space at all on the wedding day. From that meeting on, I was much more relaxed and Brian coordinated everything with little or no fuss.
On our wedding day, both Brian and Kevin were invisible. I know that they were there because we have AWESOME photos, but they took their shots without any fuss, and got pictures of things that we didn't even know were going on.
Our experience with d2 Photography was excellent. I can't say enough about the professionalism, personal touches, and talent of Brian and Kevin. Thank you so much for everything!!

D2 was phenominal at our wedding. I felt like they were just as excited as we were and their enthusiam was pictured through the lens. They were extremely flexible! They met us at the reheasal just to take a look around and get an idea of what and where to take pictures from. They even offered us free engagement photos. Their eye to find just the right shot was truley amazing. They did not waste our time and make us feel shy in front of the camera. They did not keep retaking the same shot, they got it right within the first few tries and we were able to move quickly and even got to enjoy our cocktail hour with family and friends because they were so accurate. I would recommend their service to anyone. They helped make our day even more special and I know they are capable of doing that for any bride and groom. D2 thanks so much and I wish you all the best. God bless.

D2 Wedding Photography provided the greatest photography for my Wedding I could have ever asked for. They are the best at what they do. Professionally, photographically, and affordable. My wedding would have not been the same without them. My wedding was over an hour from their business and they were flexible throughout the entire process from engagement pictures to the wedding day. They made me and my husband feel at ease and so comfortable. My husband is smiling in all the pictures! (He never smiles!!!! They are amazing!)

Absolutely fantastic! Professional, polite, easy/fun to work with and very talented. They will do whatever it takes to "get the shot." Climb on chairs, lay on the dirt, whatever. Everything went smoothly throughout the planning process and they work really hard with you to make sure they deliver exactly what you want/expect. When it comes to the special day itself, they are right there with you every step of the way. But they're not intrusive so you don't notice their presence which makes everything more natural looking. The shots are fantastic and they deliver your proofs quickly. They took pictures of people/events that I didn't even realize and I was thrilled. During my reception they loaded a slideshow of pictures from earlier in the day so my guests (and me!) could get a preview. Everyone loved it and it added another personal touch.

They go above and beyond and I highly recommend d2 Wedding Photgraphy. Not just for brides/grooms, but for any professional pictures. They are my first choice for portraits for my family.

I cannot say enough about D2 Wedding Photography and our experience with them. Brian and Kevin are true professionals; They not only listened to what we wanted, though also infused our ideas with their professional opinions and knowledge. Their main goal throughout the whole process was to give us what we wanted and to make us happy, and they did that and much, much more. We were blown away by our beautiful pictures that we will always cherish, and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for exquisite pictures and amazing service. I will continue to use D2 for all of my future photography needs and recommend that you do the same! Thank you D2 for all that you did for us...Troy & Christa (Married July 2010)

D2 provided us great service. They did both engagement and wedding photos and were very helpful both time. Any time we had a question it was answered in less than 24 hours. They were very flexible with our schedule and requests. Also, when left to their own devices they will take some very artistic shots that will take your breath away. Pictures looked great and were delivered very quickly. Highly recommended!

d2 Wedding Photography was fantastic - I loved these guys! Brian and Kevin really made the day - our guests loved them and the pictures turned out wonderfully. They are very flexible with the options for photos (digital, print, etc.) and more than happy to walk you through the results. They also gave us some beautiful framed picture gifts as well! Definitely use them - you will love it. I interviewed 5 other photographers before these guys were recommended to me and they were, bar none, the best of the group.

I can't say enough good things about d2 Wedding Photography. Brian, Kevin and Matt were wonderful from start to finish. My photos are beautiful! They were very organized in their preparations, and they were there to make it my day - they were very supportive of what I wanted in my wedding photos. They did all of the posed photos I requested, but as it turned out my favorite photos are the candid photos they took that really captured the true spirit of our special day. These guys are simply fantastic!!!

Vendor recommendation from Sage String Quartet

As wedding musicians we've interacted with many photographers, so I can say from much experience that these photographers are some of the friendliest, most senstitive artists I've had the pleasure of working with. I was impressed how they captured every memory without disrupting the moment; they were an essential part of a truly beautiful event. We look forward to seeing them again and I highly recommend D2 Wedding Photography to my brides!

Vendor recommendation from tPoz Photography

I've had the pleasure of shooting alongside Brian and Kevin, and I sincerely recommend their photography services. Working professionally and seamlessly with the entire event staff, as well as the bride and groom, every special detail and moment is captured! I am consistently amazed at the artistic images delivered to the bride and groom, and anyone should be thrilled to have them as their wedding photographers.

Vendor recommendation from A Sweet Soiree

It's two weeks post the most recent wedding that I worked with D2 Photography and of the one photo that I have seen thus far, I must definitely say I might just lose sleep until I see more (that's how anxious I am)! They had a VERY fleeting moment to capture a dove release that we had thoroughly planned out. Not only did they get the shot, but it's an emotionally engaging one that truly summarizes that event to the T. What is even better is that Kevin and his brother, are an absolute delight to work with. They remained professional and accommodating through some bumps in the road on wedding day, and happily made any adjustments that were requested of them with enthusiasm. They are what I call "good people" and I will refer them to my couples time and time again.

About d2 Wedding Photography

 The hot term of art in wedding photography today is “photojournalism”. Technically, the term refers to a candid documentary style of telling the story through undirected photography. It’s what we do.

We just call it real.

We approach every shot with the goal of capturing the unique spark within and between each person that makes them real. Whether it’s a couple exchanging vows, a bride dancing with her father, or a new husband and wife sharing a private look across the room, each fleeting scene has an important element of reality, and special meaning, that can only be communicated through a photograph. And they can't be staged or repeated, so we keep a low profile, let the focus be on the bride and groom, and get every shot the first time.

Our photography practice is about preserving the memories of your wedding, and capturing your real moments.

FAQ for d2 Wedding Photography

What primary photographic style do you identify with?
Photojournalism, Portraiture
What do your packages include?
Albums, Digital Files, Flush Mount, High Resolution Images, Matted Prints, Prints
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
Yes, we have experience throughout a tremendous range of lighting conditions. With each of us bringing a background in theatrical lighting to the table, we understand what it takes to work in just about any condition. We have worked outdoor weddings in direct midday sunlight, and ceremonies and receptions indoors where theatrical lighting was a crucial element of the room's decor. Dimly lit churches, off color balance issues from stained glass, candlelight - these are all situations we face, and overcome, regularly.
Is your media preference film or digital?
We shoot 100% digital. While we respect film, we feel the fast paced, dynamic nature of weddings is not well suited for film. We use digital so we can monitor our results throughout the event and make sure we're getting the shots. To ensure quality, we have invested in an exceptional array of professional grade digital cameras.
How many photographers do you work with?
We always work with a minimum of two photographers. Before the ceremony, the bride and groom each have a dedicated photographer to focus on their preparation. During the ceremony, every element is captured from multiple ventage points so we're sure never to miss the shot. During the reception, the photographers move around the room independently, yet in constant communication, capturing both wide room shots as well as close, personal shots.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes, our contract includes a guarantee that we will be at the actual event, with a clause that provides for a qualified stand-in in the event that an unforeseen crisis prevents attendance.
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
Never. We book only one event per weekend so we can focus all of our time and energy on preparation and coverage of that one event.
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
Yes, we have a small network of trusted and experienced professionals who have agreed to step in should one of the primary photographers find themselves unavailable. To date, we have not had the need to call on them, but we have them in place just in case.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
We bring more gear than we think we'll need, so if something unexpected comes up, we're prepared. Each photographer carries multiple professisonal grade digital SLR cameras, with professional grade lenses. We will use speedlights (flash units) with off-camera brackets for much of the time, and we also bring an array of strobes, umbrellas, soft boxes, stands, and remote triggers so we're prepared for just about any lighting need. We also bring computer equipment with a large monitor so we can unload images from the cameras and put up a slideshow of ceremony images during the reception.
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Absolutely. Each photographer brings a back-up for every piece of equipment they use. Specifically, we each bring multiple camera bodies, redundant lenses, an extensive array of storage media, batteries, cables, lighting, etc.
Do you charge hourly or full day?
We charge for the full-day.
Are you available to shoot extra hours? If yes, how much do you charge for extra hours?
There is never a charge for extra hours for the wedding day. When you book us, it's for the entire day. We show up as early as you'll let us, and won;t leave until you're gone and the party is over.
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
We typically don't take breaks. Since we always have more than one photographer, one of us can take a moment as needed while the other is actively working. We may step back from shooting at times, particularly if there is a dinner period, but we stay in the space and are prepared for a photo op at any time. We always appreciate a quick meal when appropriate, but we don't require it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don't charge for travel withing the DC/MD/NoVA region. For travel outside the area, our travel fees are modest and reasonable.
Will images be available for viewing online?
Yes, images are available for the couple to view in a password-protected gallery on our web site. They are free to share their access with family and friends at their discretion.
Additional Advice
Q: How do your coverage hours work for the wedding day?

A: We cover your wedding day from beginning to end. We'll arrive and be ready to work as soon as you'd like us there, covering morning activities (breakfast, a quick round of golf, spa morning, etc.), hair & makeup, bride and groom prep, whatever you have going on. We'll cover the entire day, and won't leave until the party is over. We don't have a set limit on hours, or extra fees for extra hours. We book only one wedding per weekend so we can give 100% of our time, attention, and energy to you.


Q: Can you handle a large wedding? Destination wedding?

A: Yes, and yes. We cover most weddings with two photographers, but for some large or logistcally intense weddings we turn to our network of trusted wedding photographers to add a third, and sometimes fourth photographer. We're available to travel for destination weddings, both domestically and internationally. Our fees for travel are very reasonable, and we'll handle all of our travel arrangements, coordinating with your planner, so you don't have to hassle it.
