Washington, DC

5/5(30 reviews)From $750

For over 10 years, I've documented life's biggest moments across Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, and beyond. Through those experiences, I've learned that the most meaningful wedding photos are built on trust, thoughtful preparation, and genuine connection, not elaborate posing. My approach blends timeless wedding photography with honest storytelling. Through personalized planning and calm guidance, I'll step in when it's needed, step back when it's right, and create space for real moments to unfold naturally so you can stay fully present and enjoy your wedding day. My goal is simple: to create authentic, timeless wedding photos that reflect your story and become even more meaningful with time.

My husband and I highly recommend Wornden to take your pictures! He has been our photographer for everything - from our engagement to our wedding to even our family photoshoots. Wornden is kind, punctual, patient, super fun and one of the best photographers we know.

Kate & Enzo

Wornden was an absolute blast to work with for our engagement shoot. I am definitely not comfortable in front of the camera and he made us feel so relaxed. He traveled to a spot we had picked out; Driftwood Beach in Lusby MD. Although he had never been there before, as soon as he showed up his wheels were spinning with different ideas on where he wanted to shoot pictures. He was extremely communicative in the weeks leading up to the shoot as well. He sent us so many photos, all of them were fantastic. We loved how he was able to use all parts of the beachy area to include a wooded area. Our favorites are the candid shots. We look forward to working with Wornden in the future!

Wornden did a phenomenal job with both our engagement shoot and our wedding. The photos were amazing and they came out better than we were expecting. Wornden is also very easy to work and communicate with and his vision always comes together so beautifully. I highly recommend him as a photographer for all of your life's biggest moments!

Ruth & Fish

Wornden was a pleasure to work with! We booked him last minute for a post-wedding photo shoot and love our photos. We spoke beforehand to go over what we wanted to get from the session, and Wornden pulled through. His photos were creative, had great lighting, and really captured the moment.

Syd & Pat

Wornden is a top class, A+ natural and gifted at taking photos. His editorial style and clean cut aesthetic made him our first choice for our engagement and wedding photos. He has not disappointed us at all. He made our day both occasions, offered support for building our photo timeline, and surprised us with an additional intern shooter to make the day smoother. While we could have chose anyone, we connected with Wornden on a hometown level and shared a vision. Thank you Wornden!
