About this vendor
At NorthStar Captures, a wedding and events photography business based in Maryland (DMV), we specialize in storytelling through timeless wedding photography that feels personal, authentic, and true to each couple we work with. Owned and operated by twin brothers Kaleb and Eyasu, we bring a unique blend of creativity, calm energy, and cultural awareness to every celebration we document.
Based in Maryland and the greater DMV area, and available for travel across the U.S., we’re known for capturing the real moments — from joyful tears to spontaneous laughter — with a documentary-meets-artistic style that never feels forced. Our approach is simple: connect with each couple, understand their vision, and create an experience that feels effortless from beginning to end.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a large cultural celebration, we tailor every shoot to reflect your love story in the most honest and beautiful way possible. From detailed getting-ready shots to golden hour portraits, we make sure every moment is preserved with intention and care.
Couples choose NorthStar Captures not just for the photos but for how we make them feel throughout the process — relaxed, confident, and truly seen.
