The best investment you can make! Working with Barbara was the easiest thing about our entire wedding. She gave us a professional experience that felt so personal too. She captured us as if we were her family. The pictures we got back are stunning. STUNNING.

AM I not available on your wedding date?

You can still have AMAZING PHOTOS AND the BOP Experience!


I have a team of talented associate photographers who’ve been carefully selected and trained to document your day with the same artistic and journalistic approach that I offer.

I’ll work together with you all the way leading up to your wedding day.
You’ll receive the BOP Wedding Guide with a bunch of tips, vendor referrals and helpful information. And I’ll personally help you plan the day-of-timeline to make sure the day goes smoothly.
The associate photographer will be there to photograph your wedding day and I, myself, will edit your photos with my signature style.



 
 

As Seen ON

You've got a Q...

I've got an A

 
 
 

+ How can we book you for our wedding?

Easy peasy. You say 'heck yeah, we wanna book you!,' sign an electronic agreement and send a $2,000 deposit fee. Boom! Done.

+ How long does it take for us to get our photos?

You can expect your wedding photos within 10 weeks, but don't you worry, I'll send you a preview of your day within 15 days to hold you over. As for your engagement or lifestyle session, those will take up to 8 weeks to get delivered. You'll have access to an online gallery where you can download and share them with everyone. No watermarks. These photos are ready to print. Print away!

+ How many images do we get?

400-800 for weddings, depending on how many hours of coverage you book. And 80-120 pictures for engagement and lifestyle sessions. All photos you receive are in high-resolution and fully edited with the style you see on my website.

+ Do we need a second shooter for our wedding?

Well, you don't neeeeed a second shooter... I'm very comfortable photographing weddings solo, but it's pretty awesome to have one, because it will bring a second perspective throughout the day, you'll get more candid moments of your guests, and most importantly, we can be in two different locations at the same time (I still don't have that super power). If you're not seeing each other before the ceremony or if you're wedding has more than 100 guests, I highly recommend getting a second shooter.

+ Should we do an engagement session?

Enagagement sessions are a great way for us to break the ice and get to know each other before the wedding day. You have a chance to learn how I work behind the camera and I have a chance to learn more about you two as a couple, so I can better capture your real selves. Besides walking away with photos that really represent who you are on a more laid-back scenario (you know...without all that bling), you'll feel a lot more comforatble to be in front of the camera when the wedding day comes. Promise.

+ Should we see each other before the ceremony, aka'First Look'?

It's your day, and it's totally up to you, of course! I personally, think is super practical to see each other beforehand. You get to do most of the photos ahead of time (even bridal party and family photos) and then you get to enjoy the cocktail hour with your peeps. That's why you're doing this dang thing, right? To marry your soul mate and to share it with all the people you love.

+ Do you travel to photograph our destination wedding?

Definitely! I do, I have and I'll go wherever your wedding takes me! I'm ready to go! I have American, European and South American passports, and I speak fluent English, Portuguese, Spanish, and ein bisschen German.

Wedding and lifestyle collections include travel up to 75 miles of zip code 21050. There's an extra travel fee beyond that radius. For destination weddings, I will charge an extra flat fee to cover all my travel expenses. I am responsible for booking my flight, hotel accommodations, ground transportation, meals,... so you don't have to worry about anything!

+ Can we post our images on social media?

Abso-freakin-lutely! Share them with the World! I really love when my couples credit and tag @Barbara O Photography.

+ Do you have liability insurance?

I sure do. Let me know in advance if your venue requests Certification of Insurance.
