About this vendor
I believe love is love, black lives matter, science is real, no human is illegal, art has value, and you have a story worth telling.
I like bold colors, old music, unplanned road trips,
swing dancing, changing hair styles, and books with dragons.
My work is about pictures that make you laugh, memories that make you cry, images that make you smile, moments in time captured forever, and documenting this weird, wild, and wonderful world with a sense of fun and adventure.

Devon was delightful to work with throughout our entire engagement and wedding processes. We loved working with Devon because of the way they took the time to get to know us, which allowed them to showcase our quirks and love for each other as a couple and the joy among our wedding guests in every photo. Devon is an excellent photographer for people who are shy in front of a camera. Rather than just posing us, Devon used a relaxed, conversational approach and creative tricks to help us naturally settle into smiles and body language that truly make our photos look like us. We could honestly feel Devon’s excitement to celebrate our love through their work. Devon was clear, supportive, and transparent throughout every step of the planning process, from pricing to developing a photo list and schedule of events for the day. They were responsive and easy to talk to, and they returned our photos promptly. We can’t recommend Devon enough, and we can’t wait for our next opportunity to work with them again!
Devon Rowland is the best in the business. We literally scheduled our wedding around dates when they were available. We’ve known Devon for years through dancing and seen them take great photos at many a dance and wedding, so we were thrilled to hire them for ours! And oh boy was it worth it.
We are not the most photogenic people, so we were a bit anxious about wedding photos in general. But Devon knows how to take photos that flatter all body types and heights, and how to make all people, from the most traditional to the most alternative, look fabulous. The photos we got are some of the best and most creative wedding photos I have ever seen; family and friends love them too. It’s not just a documentary, it’s art. They not only captured the grace, the beauty, the silliness, and the abandon of our wedding day—they made it even more special. And the dancing! Devon takes amazing dance photos like almost no one else.
From the moment we started working with Devon through delivery of the photos, we knew we were in the right hands. Devon is intensely dedicated to making weddings more inclusive and welcoming for LGBTQ+ people and communities. And they know everyone—when we struggled to find the right wedding planner, they knew just who to recommend.
Devon is just a consummate professional and all-around excellent human. Prompt, fast, clear in communication, and just super chill. Nothing flusters them. They know how to put everyone at ease, from the most uptight person to the smallest kiddo. (True story: my best man’s son didn’t want to get in the posed photos, so Devon let him look at their camera and explained how it worked, helped him feel safer, and got him to go get in the pictures!) They make you feel at ease, they make you feel loved.
Devon Rowland Photography is simply the best in the business; we cannot recommend them highly enough. If you want to feel amazing, look amazing, and be amazing on your wedding day, and have the best damn photos of all of it, look no further.
Devon is a phenomenal photographer, and an absolutely joy to work with. They have an incredible eye, and captured so many wonderful moments we never would have noticed.
Finding the right photographer was our #1 priority, and Devon absolutely aligned with our values and our vibe. Their photos are joyous and feel very authentic.
After our wedding, we heard from so many guests, unprompted, about how impressed they were by Devon, saying they'd notice a great moment and turn around and see Devon capturing it from the other side of the room.
Devon captured so many incredible photos of our guests, that we felt it was worthwhile to print out some key selections to send with our thank you notes!
Devon was very helpful in the planning process, sharing our excitement for the event and took lovely engagement photos. The wedding photos were an absolute delight. They were able to capture so many memorable moments from ones that were posed to those that were spontaneous. I highly recommend working with them for your wedding.
Devon did an incredible job with the photography for our wedding. They were an excellent choice for the job in so many ways, big and small. First, the quality of the photos was incredibly high. Devon has a great eye for capturing not just the big moments like first look, ring exchange, toasts, etc, but for capturing the little nuances that make a wedding special. Looking through the photos when we first received them, we were thrilled with how incredibly well they captured the energy and feel of the event. Devon also made us, two people who typically don't love getting their photo taken, feel comfortable and relaxed. They were willing to adapt to last minute ideas for photos and brought a creative approach to standard wedding photo ideas. I would highly recommend Devon as your photographer!
Our wedding planner recommended Devon, and she is an amazing photographer to work with. Devon understood our vision, we got along great with her, and the photos that she got were gorgeous. I highly recommend her and would definitely ask her for photography in the future.
We were truly privileged to collaborate with Devon Rowland, an exceptionally talented photographer, for our wedding day. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, their professionalism, talent, and unwavering support made our experience truly stellar.
From the very beginning, it was evident that Devon genuinely valued and celebrated love in all its forms. They took the time to understand our unique love story, our vision for the wedding, and the moments that were most important to us. Their warm and welcoming approach made us feel instantly comfortable, allowing us to be our authentic selves throughout the entire process.
On the day of the wedding, their expertise and creativity shone through. They captured every special moment with precision and an artistic eye. Their ability to blend into the background and capture candid shots was truly remarkable, resulting in a collection of photos that felt authentic and heartfelt. From the exchanging of vows to the joyful celebration on the dance floor, they effortlessly documented the essence of our love and the spirit of the day.
What truly set Devon Rowland Photography apart was their commitment to creating a safe and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ couples. The level of professionalism and attention to detail displayed by Devon extended beyond the wedding day. They were prompt in their communication, delivered the final photos in a timely manner, and their editing skills were impeccable.
We cannot recommend Devon Rowland Photography highly enough. Their commitment to inclusivity, their undeniable talent, and their unwavering support made our wedding experience truly exceptional. If you are searching for a photographer who will not only capture your special day with skill and creativity but also embrace and celebrate your unique love story, look no further. Devon is a true gem in the industry!
Devon is not just a talented photographer, she is a super kind person! She instantly understood the energy we wanted out of our wedding day and she made everyone feel so comfortable. She took beautiful shots and got the album to us in such a timely manner! I am so glad Devon was also a part of our special day.
I can't recommend Devon enough. Not only does she take beautiful photos, but Devon is easy to work with. She helped my family and friends get comfortable so she could capture some great photos. Devon also managed to get some special candid moments documented. A+ all the way! Now, I just have to plan another shoot with her. :)
Where do I even start about Devon!?
Somewhere along the line in wedding planning, I realized that for me one of the most important decisions I would be making about my wedding was the photographer. I had no idea it would be so important to me until we started looking at photographers and I was trying to envision how our wedding day would look and how it would be captured and WOW Devon totally checked that box in the best way possible!
Every interaction my husband or I had with Devon was positive, I immediately felt comfortable with her, which is super important in a photographer! She completely put my mind at ease with her confidence and professionalism. She was also super flexible on timeline when we didn't quite have that figured out yet, and let us add an extra hour a few weeks before the big day!
The day of the wedding, Devon was super great at communicating, making everyone comfortable, and making an effort to know the names of the Bridal Party and being engaging. We even finished taking all the pictures ahead of schedule and used the extra time to take more shots that were important to us!
As for the results - Devon sent us around 20 sneak peek pictures within a week of our wedding date - SUCH a wonderful glimpse of her work and a happy reminder of our wedding day. We received all of the photos exactly 1 month after our wedding (2 weeks ahead of schedule) and let me tell you they exceeded all expectations! I still have to dig into them and pick favorites and share them and print them and all that fun stuff but Devon captured the day absolutely perfectly!!
I love the feel of the photos and the lighting - every background we took pictures against turned out beautifully! Devon also captured the feel and emotion of the wedding, the life of the wedding. The moments she captured are priceless - a glance between my husband and I, an exchange with a bridesmaid, our guests laughing at a joke, an enthusiastically dancing couple- all gorgeous candid moments that I am so glad we can look back on! Devon even managed to follow my husband and I around the room as we chatted with our guests and we had absolutely no idea she was there - the pictures were a pleasant surprise!
In summary: Devon is fantastic. Every aspect about the photos is brilliant and I am so glad she was able to capture so many perfect moments. I'm not sure how it's possible but every picture is my favorite until I see the next one :)
Beyond grateful to Devon for capturing our day - highly highly recommended!!
My wife and I had Devon as our photographer for our wedding in Northern California and can't recommend her enough. She is amazing at capturing both candids and stills, and is wonderful at using light (or the absence of) to her advantage. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her!
Devon photographed our wedding at Evergreen Museum and Library in Baltimore back in April of this year. Not only is she a pleasure to work with, but the photos are incredible! She is pleasant, punctual, professional, and totally flexible to whatever you envision for your photos. Our priorities were candid shots, a more artistic aesthetic, and nature , and Devon delivered the most beautiful photos that aligned with our vision for the day. She even overlaid several silhouette shots of us on top of architectural/nature scenes, creating stunning and unique photos. And best of all, she blended in with the crowd, being very discrete throughout the ceremony and event.
We were 1000% satisfied! You should book her!
Devon is great at capturing active people in candid shots. And a lot of what happens at weddings is exactly that! Looking back at the photos really feels like going back to that day - she found so many moments beyond the obvious ceremony and event moments. The photos themselves are wonderful and she was prompt in processing them and providing them to us afterwards. I'm glad we had the engagement photos first, it was nice to meet her before the big day. I definitely recommend Devon to anyone looking for a photographer, we're so happy with the entire process!
Devon gave us exactly what we wanted - fun, happy wedding photos! One thing we both knew - we didn't want to spend our wedding day in awkward, unnatural poses and she made sure we didn't! She gave us the few poses we needed and the rest were happy, smiling guests and bride & groom, tons of candids, and plenty of shots of our gorgeous venue. I was shocked at how many photos she got of us and our guests laughing. Either we had the most funny wedding of all time, or she did an excellent job of capturing the joy of the day. I'm guessing it was the later.
Oh, she she got us our photos in RECORD time. I was amazed at the speed at which she returned our sneak peek and our fully edited photos. She is professional and responsive. Highly recommended!
Devon was the best photographer we found and we couldn't be happier with the photos! From the initial email to the wedding day everything was super easy and smooth despite my now husband and I barely having anything planned or organized. Devon was funny and like a friend of the family on the wedding day. We got our photos back super fast and they were all gorgeous. Devon has a great eye, is good at capturing spontaneous moments, and is really creative with scenery and light. I can't say enough great things about her!
Devon is an incredible wedding photographer, no matter what size the ceremony is! My husband and I had a small courthouse wedding, and she made our day feel special and made us feel comfortable. Our families even commented on how great she was day-of, and we got a great assortment of photos to treasure from our wedding day!
Devon was absolutely amazing to work with. We reached out to her at a recommendation from a friend of ours to learn about her style, and we loved her from the very first call. She has a great eye and has fabulous photos up on her website, and she was so personable, professional, and excited to be a part of our big day. As two guys who were getting married, we were thrilled to see same-sex weddings featured on her website, and she told us a couple of great stories about her work with same-sex couples. It was an easy decision to ask her to join our team and photograph our wedding.
We first spent real time with her as part of the engagement shoot that she offered as an add-on to our wedding package. As people who don't take a lot of professional photos, she offered just the right amount of advice - things to think about for locations and timing, and working with us to patiently answer all of our questions and address our thoughts. She got to know us in the process, asking questions about how we met, what we like to do, and who we are as people, and then played around with figuring out how we related together as a couple, asking us to hold hands, stare into each other's eyes, make silly faces at each other, and having us kiss - and then seeing what worked for us and what didn't (fun fact: we don't do well making silly faces at each other). We had a lot of fun in the process, and got a beautiful set of photos for us. Devon even got our dog into it - she was great with him!
Keeping in touch with us in between, it was a few months later that we saw her again for our wedding. It unexpectedly rained, and she handled it like a pro. She brought clear umbrellas so we could stay outside, and she talked up how we could get some beautiful photos in the rain that we probably wouldn't get otherwise - and she was 100% right. We opted to do our primary portrait shots before the wedding ceremony. Devon was willing to be playful with us while keeping us sane and calm and not freaking out about the weather. And then when we got to the family photos, she was so on top of everything. We had about 50+ people that we needed to get into the photo in various combinations, and she was unbelievable at calling the right people in, getting the other people out, and keeping to time. We gave her a schedule, and she crushed it, to the point that all our family members told us how great she was - all the meantime keeping a smile and making everyone feel good about it.
It's a month later, and Devon has already gotten us our complete photos. They are truly breathtaking. We got to relive the day through her photos, and we are so excited to have them forever as memories that perfectly capture how amazing of a day we had.
If we have another event, we will be calling Devon, and we hope you do too, since she's fabulous to work with! Thank you Devon!
Devon is the best photographer we found. We love her work; it's so full of light and completely natural. They really captured the color and energy of our wedding, and she made sure that she captured the spirit of our wedding as well. Devon is so open-minded and easy going, she took a lot of stress away from other parts of our wedding because she was so organized!
We couldn't recommend a better photographer, and the photos were SO BEAUTIFUL! Please, do yourself a favor and work with Devon.
Devon is amazing! She captured all of the moments I didn't know I needed captured. The family photos went quickly and seamlessly. The action shots were crisp and spot on. She is very laid back and easy to work with - I could not have asked for a better photographer!
Devon was so wonderful to work with and is truly an amazing photographer! We did not give her a lot of guidelines in terms of photos and she ended up capturing the day and atmosphere perfectly. Our photos were beautiful and professional and her creativity shone through. Overall the photos turned out better than anything we could have imagined and Devon truly has a talent for capturing the moment. I would recommend her to anyone interested in having their wedding day memories captured.
Devon is an absolutely amazing photographer - she somehow manages to make everyone look their absolute best, and she does a great job getting good candid shots - which I much prefer to staged photos! She is wonderful to work with and very subtle when she takes photos - I have no idea how she got so many amazing shots at our wedding. She even sent us a preview album just two days after the wedding!
We are so happy that we chose Devon to photograph our wedding weekend! Her photos were so gorgeous, and she flawlessly integrated herself into the festivities capturing so many special moments that even we somehow missed! Her artistic eye matched with her easy-going personality and professionalism made Devon stand out. We were blown away by the amount of quality, beautiful pictures we received in the end--it was hard to narrow down the ones we loved the most! Fully recommend her. She is the best.
We could not be happier with our wedding photos from Devon and Sean, they captured our day perfectly!
We wanted a lot of candid photos, but we never expected them to capture so much joy and emotion. Every time we look through the pictures, we're completely transported back to the day!
Not only do we love the pictures of us, but also of our family and friends! My best friend was so excited by a photo took of her and her husband that she shared it online and said she loved it better than her own wedding photos of her and her groom!
Devon captured everyone who was in attendance in a meaningful way!
Everytime we wanted a photo taken, we looked up and Devon was available to take the shot! Even though she was everywhere we needed her to be, she completely fit into the surroundings, quietly and brilliantly taking snaps of everything we wanted to remember!
I cannot recommend her enough! Devon was so friendly, her service is so professional. I feel like she really listened to everything I wanted and delivered exactly that!
Her blog post about our day reflects her keen ability to capture and tell a story, which in our case was a perfect representation of our day.
Definitely, definitely work with Devon - no matter the occasion! She's the best!
I can't say enough good things about Devon and her photography! She is a true pleasure to work with -- very calm, fun, and kind. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of cameras, certainly not for portraits, and she put us at ease. Just as importantly, her work is simply gorgeous. She has a real talent for capturing the spirit of a moment, whether it's sweet or silly. Going through the non-portrait photos was such a delight, because she immortalized moments that we would have completely forgotten in the rush of the day. We've gotten so many compliments on our photos, and it's all thanks to Devon's hard work!
Devon was great to work with, very professional and creative. We wanted a lot of candid photographs that captured the emotion and feel of the ceremony and party. The photos were beautiful and caught so many special moments. She got everything, but was also unobtrusive. We loved the pictures so much that we ended up using some of her photos to make our thank you notes, printing the photos and adhering them to note cards. We would definitely work with Devon again and highly recommend her.
Devon is patient, thorough and has a great ability to capture the essence of the day in her photos. She is somehow everywhere at once, yet is inconspicuous. She asks no questions when you forget you had said you didn't need "getting ready shots", but jumps in and documents the moment. She doesn't bat an eye when you struggle to choke back tears and point out an instant only you can understand and she runs and captures it perfectly. She pivots from classic to quirky to romantic to silly and provides you with moments preserved forever. Call her. You won't be sorry.
Devon was amazing.
She was fun and easy going, but also capable, punctual and detailed.
As other reviewers have said, she got to know us and made sure to capture the details of the wedding that were unique to us.
Even though we were her clients, it felt like we were working with a good friend. She didn't try to upsell or change our plans or give us anything other than great service just because we had a smaller budget. She listened to us and did everything we asked her to do.
She really helped to make our wedding day a great day. We treasure the pictures she took for us.
Working with Devon is like working with one of your favorite artistic friends. She is incredibly professional without giving up her warmth or sense of fun. She finds what makes the couple special and then encapsulates it in her photos. (She was willing to even take photos of us in our LARP costumes if that is what we wanted) She shot our engagement photos (even managed to get the camera shy dog in), our wedding (without falling off a cliff), and our reception. On all three occasions, she got AMAZING photos that I still love to show off. They are shining examples of the love we share and our friends and family. I am almost sorry we do not have another major life event soon so we can have her come and take more amazing photos.
Devon was a dream on my wedding day. She had a fun yet grounded personality style that flowed well with all the different personalities of the wedding party. She had creative ideas for our couple shots that weren't forced or trite, and the finished product....OMG! Devon produced the best photos my husband and I have of each other... just breathtaking. Devon also captured the reception with amazing results...I never really saw her that night, but I was so very touched at the moments she caught behind her lens. I *highly* recommend this creative, talented photographer!
Working with Devon on my wedding photos was a pleasure. She was easy to work worth, professional, flexible, and best of all an amazing photographer! I can't recommend her enough!
Devon was fabulous. She took the time to get to know me and my husband and made sure that her photos not only captured the events of the day, but the feeling, and most importantly, the personality that made it truly "ours"
