From the moment we met Joey of Trans4mation Photography, we knew we had struck gold!
He exceeded EVERY expectation and more, on our wedding day.
Joey and his incredible team, which includes Abi (second photographer) and Keon (videographer), captured our day so beautifully that we are still in awe every time we look back at our photos and videos. The attention to detail is absolutely unmatched. Even now, I find myself tearing up, happy tears, reliving those moments through their unbelievably beautiful work.
When the transportation company we hired caused delays and stress before our ceremony, Joey truly became my calm in the chaos. He stayed right by my side the entire time, making sure I was okay, talking with me, sharing stories, and helping ease my nerves while everything was being sorted out. His presence, demeanor, and genuine care made all the difference during what could have been an overwhelming moment. I honestly cannot express how grateful I am for him and his team stepping up and helping keep everything running smoothly.
Joey is kind, direct, professional, and incredibly organized. We had a large wedding party and many family members to photograph, yet he handled everything with ease. He gave clear instructions, thoughtful advice, and communicated exactly what he needed from us to ensure every single moment was captured, and he delivered spectacularly.
His personality is pure and genuine, and his professionalism is truly unmatched. I genuinely believe Joey was a Godsend on our wedding day, and I don’t know what my husband and I would have done without him.
If you are considering Trans4mation Photography, do not hesitate for a second. Joey, Abi, and Keon are not only incredibly talented, but they are also the kind of people you want by your side on one of the most important days of your life. Thank you for the most beautiful 11/08/2025. We will forever be grateful.

On our wedding day—the most special day of our lives—Joey went above and beyond to ensure every precious memory was preserved. The photos are not just pictures; they are timeless works of art that perfectly reflect the love and joy we felt. Every shot tells a story, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, passionate, and genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, Joey is the one. We are forever grateful for the beautiful memories he captured!

to detail and advice on not only our wedding photos, but our engagement photos as well. He was very easy to work with and to get ahold of throughout the entire process. The photographs from the wedding as well as the videos turned out beautifully and the turnaround time was impeccable; only a couple of days after the wedding were we able to see the proofs and relive the magic of the day. We also appreciated the walkthrough we did with him a month before the wedding, giving us an idea of where we'd want to take the best photos on our big day. If you're looking for high quality photos, videos, and service, look no further than Trans4mation!

us to go by but Joey said to leave it in his hands and anything we wanted done we could do but not to feel obligated to send him anything and he did exactly that! We honestly could not have chosen a better photographer and videographer. We had our photos back 2 weeks after the wedding and we ordered our album shortly after. We got our highlight reel a few days ago and absolutely LOVE IT, if the highlight reel is that good I cannot wait to see how amazing the full video is. I cried twice watching the highlight reel. I really cannot express how comfortable Joey made us feel and how quick he was to communicate with us. I HIGHLY recommend Joey as your photographer and videographer.

m our wedding (extremely fast turn-around time) and they are all so fantastic! The hardest thing I had to do was select only our top 75 favorites for further editing enhancements (as per our package) because all of the pictures are so amazing! There should be more to your wedding photographer team than just the photos, and Joey and his team are the full package. They are friendly, organized, on-time, experienced, professional, creative, and great communicators, whether that meant reaching out to me throughout the planning process, talking to parents and guests, getting all 23 people in our bridal party to pay attention for photos, and he kept the mood light and fun while we shot our way through series after series of family portraits. His second shooter for the day, Desiree was also amazing! We are so glad we chose Joey and Trans4mation Photography to document our special day.

My husband and I cannot sing enough praises when it comes to Joey, his work, and his team. We met with Joey in 2019 to secure him for Oct 2020 nuptials. He was warm, welcoming an...
d just an absolute joy to be around. You can feel his positive energy and it truly reflects in his photographs. We secured 2 photographers (Joey & a 2nd shooter) for 8 hours and a videographer for 6 hours and we planned to have an engagement session in the spring. Unfortunately, covid hit and put a wrench in our plans. Joey worked with us to coordinate a Mr. & Mrs. photoshoot (in lieu of our engagement session) after our covid elopement and we reset our reception to 10/09/21. After learning the timeline of events for our actual reception, Joey recommended adding an extra hour of videographer so that we could capture cake cutting. Joey was everything we expected AND MORE. His energy was infectious and his team was equally as down to earth as he was. We had the pleasure of working with Christy (2nd shooter) and James (videographer). Many of my bridesmaid commented on how they've been in many other weddings and the photographers can be really aggressive and they were so amazed by Joey and his team. They were like flies on the wall. We barely noticed them and they captured amazing candid moments. We are so glad these memories can be memorialized in his photojournalistic approach. We loved working with him and highly recommend him! If anything, I would have actually added an additional hour for photography because he is THAT good! Who wouldn't want MORE gorgeous photos? If you plan to have more than 50-60 people, I also strongly suggest a 2nd shooter. You will love Trans4mation Photography -- it is your one stop shop for photo & video!

On my wedding day, the weather changed several times throughout the day, from sunshine to rain to hail to sunshine, to more rain, and still Joey was able to capture beautiful photos. I am also positive that without Joey's careful planning, my wedding would not have ran on time. He gently guided us through getting ready photos, first looks, ceremony, portraits, etc, ensuring that we had time to capture everything that we had planned. Post wedding, he quickly gets to work in providing sneak peak photos, and we have received so many compliments on his work. He captured our day perfectly, and we highly recommend him! If you are looking for a seasoned professional with incredible taste, high level service standards, and stunning creative artistry, Joey is your guy!

Joey was the first vendor we met with when we were planning our July 2020 wedding. From that first meeting, my now-husband and I knew he was the right choice to capture our wedding...
. He gave us all of the information we would need to make sure our wedding was completely covered. We discussed styles, must-have photos, timelines and products from the beginning. We met with him for engagement pictures shortly thereafter, and we loved the images he captured. My husband notoriously hates having his picture taken and our photos are so natural!
In the spring of 2020, along with so many couples, we were faced with the unbelievable scenario of a worldwide pandemic. As we ultimately decided to postpone our wedding, I was worried our vendors would have prior obligations and I told my family “our photographer is the only vendor I really care about”. Joey worked with us to quickly sign a new contract and thankfully he was available to cover our new date in April.
As that date approached, our father in law began to lose his battle with cancer, ultimately passing away just 6 days before our wedding. Joey and Desire were so supportive, sensitive and understanding as we navigated both events simultaneously. They worked with my blended family, our grieving family, a stubborn toddler and what could have been a rainy April day (that ultimately turned into a beautiful day). Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and I will cherish them forever. Quickly after our ceremony we got a sneak peak blog with photos that told the story of our day. He even captured the picture we would ultimately use to announce our pregnancy. His professionalism and organization is unmatched, but neither compare to his ability to capture beautiful photos to remember your special day!

d our first interaction through a video call due to the pandemic, Joey walked us through every aspect of what we would expect from him. To be honest it was a lot of information more than I knew went into photography, and in that exact moment I knew he would be the ONLY one to do the job. Joey captured our engagement photos, which turned out amazing and we were truly able to appreciate how amazing he is at his work. Joey and his team were outstanding day of, everyone was professional. Joey was able to keep our rowdy bridal party in check and stay true to our timeline, this made things go smoothly.
Our second main reason for hiring Joey is his turnaround time. Truly is impressive!! Organized even down to how the images are presented. I was blown away by how great he captured our guests, everyone at our wedding was complimenting us on how amazing of a photographer he was & how great it was that he was capturing the guests as well.
Joey is dedicated to giving you the best service, we truly recommend him & his team for your next event.

Joey literally saved my husband and mine's wedding. 2 months before our wedding our photographer had to pull out due to health reasons. We frantically started searching for another...
photographer and within minutes of sending an inquiry email to him, we received a response. Later that day we had a video meeting with him where he took the time to talk us through his whole process and answer any questions we may have. The day of the wedding Joey was fantastic, keeping everyone laughing, moving quickly, and keeping us in the loop with everything. He was punctual and very professional. We got our photos in a really good amount of time and we were blown away by them!! They are heartbreakingly beautiful and delivered on everything! Everyone was amazed and impressed with Joey capturing all the great moments of the day. Book Joey as soon as you can!! It will be the best decision you make!!

Joey and the group at Trans4Mation photography were amazing from our first meeting, to now! The amount of time Joey spends with his clients, and getting to know his clients is an e...
xtremely special experience. Joey pays special attention to the small details, and to the big details as well. He was always on time, and professional! Joey and his second photographer, Desirae, were amazing the day of our wedding- Desirae even helped fix my hair when it was falling out! Trans4mation goes above and beyond, and we are SO happy we chose them. Even through the pandemic, and the hassle of rescheduling, Joey made it work, at no extra cost. We thank Joey and Trans4Mation photography for our BEAUTIFUL wedding pictures!

I know I've said this before and I will keep saying it.... thank you both so much for serving our communities in the professions you both have selected. If that doesn't say much about your amazing character, I don't know what else I can say ;-)

From our first interaction with Joey, we had such a smooth process! He is so organized down to his planning checklist. He makes sure that each step from engagement pictures down to...
the first look is exactly what you are looking for! He is very helpful in providing direction for those of us who aren't models for posed and non-posed pictures to make sure he captures the perfect moments. He was also very communicative throughout the entire COVID process to make sure each of his clients was not in the dark! Our day would not have been complete without Joey! Book him now!!

Finally Married
Flexibility, friendliness, professionalism, and great service are how I would describe Joey. The passion Joey has for photography was evident from our first consul...
tation meeting with him. Everything he brought to the meeting was professionally organized and my husband and I felt very happy with every option we selected for our contract.
We had originally planned to marry in Annapolis on May 1st, but COVID19 restrictions made us put the brakes on for a spring wedding. Four rounds of letters and three date changes later, we finally celebrated our wedding at the Annapolis Maritime Museum (AMM) on August 22nd. Joey was fantastic to work with through it all. We were extremely appreciative for the flexibility and care he showed us as we navigated through each date and venue change. He even went above and beyond to help us with the zoom call so our virtual guests could participate. We had just planned on tech support for guests if they needed it, but he and Samantha went above and beyond by moving the iPad with the zoom call throughout the venue. Our virtual guests told us that it felt like being there! We recently received our pictures from the wedding and they're perfect. We highly recommend Joey and Trans4mation Photography for any event!

Natalie (and Shawn), thank you so much for your generous and gracious words! It feels like...
you're talking about someone other than me ;-)
Indeed, it was a very challenging process for you (for all of us) changing the wedding date once, and the location 3 times. No one could have imagined the logistical chess board we played, but in the end, it came together and was magical! And to top if off, the weather was beautiful.
Thank you again for asking me to join you one of the most important days of your lives and trusting to capture it in photos. It was a pleasure to work with you, your families and friends! I look forward to us staying in touch! :)

My husband and I were blown away at the level of service, detail, and professionalism offered by Joey and his team for our August 2020 wedding at Mountain Branch Golf Club in Joppa...
, MD.
Challenging would be an understatement, and Joey never missed a beat. Despite everything going on and all of our requests, concerns and worries, Joey was always super helpful and responsive. He was always a phone call, video chat, or text away. He truly felt like an extension of our planning and I cannot thank him enough.
The quality of his photography is absolutely top-notch. My husband's father has been a photojournalist for over 50 years, and we were determined to find a wedding photographer that his dad would be impressed by. I did NOT want his dad taking the photo's at our wedding, so finding someone who knew their stuff was very important. Both during the wedding and also when we got the photos, my now father-in-law reached out to tell us how impressed he was by the quality of the images. Success!
We found Joey's wedding packages to be very reasonably priced given the level of quality we received. Your search for a wedding photographer in or around Baltimore or Annapolis stops and ends here.
I should also add that his assistant, Samantha, was an absolute pleasure to work with and gave us the consistency that you would hope for in having a second photographer at the event.
I hope to cross paths with Joey again in the future and will be recommending him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

u and Dan that I enjoy working with - couples that are sophisticated, yet down-to-earth, easy-going, and have winsome and attractive personalities. Indeed, it was MY pleasure to work with you!
Thank you so much for asking me to join you, your friends and families on this very special day and I am grateful for it. As I always say to all my couples, I don't just sell photos, or sell wedding photos - what I sell is an "experience". All the blessings and joy to you both! 😊

Joey was the best photographer. We have spent some time with Joey now since COVID and delays. He personally canceled his vacation to participate in our wedding after we had to post...
pone. If that doesn't show you how committed he is i dont know what does.
We had a large bridal party and he was able to keep everyone focused! He directed everyone and it made the day so easy.
The photos are jaw dropping. There are so many to choose from that we love! He even capture a bunch of our guests which was a nice touch.
Highly recommend! He's worth the price. If i have learned anything, don’t go cheap on photography look at their artistic ability.

Deciding to go with Joey as our photographer was the easiest decision in our wedding planning! We chose Joey because he goes the extra mile by providing helpful wedding resources, ...
vendor recommendations, and AMAZING response time. He provides multiple ways to get in contact with him, and he never took longer than 10 minutes to answer an email or text. This is something I really appreciated. He truly helped make wedding planning feel less stressful, especially on the day of. He did a great job helping us keep our timeline for our first look photos, and the order of events after the ceremony. We felt so comfortable with Joey, which produced genuine happiness and laughter in our photos.
Another reason why he chose Joey was because we had a 5:30pm wedding in November, so most of our wedding would be in the dark! Joey was prepared with years of experience to capture our happy moments with out without natural light!
After the wedding Joey posts a wedding blod with a 'sneak-peak' of your photos, and it was so lovely having these while we waited for the rest of our photos. He did a beautiful job organizing our favorite photos into a leather photo album, see photos below!
Joey did an incredible job with our wedding and my husband and I highly recommend him to anyone!!

ry special day! It was such a delightful experience for Ursula and I to join you at the South River Golf Club. So glad the weather cooperated enough to see your dad do a fist pump when he first saw you in the dress, and then again when Daniel reacted with joyous tears during the first look. It's these moments that make my joy so rewarding. Thanks again and many blessings to both of you!

ur special day. He took the time to understand our vision (really my wife's vision) for the final product. We loved how he was both interactive and engaging, but still managed to be a "invisible" during the event. Our photos were absolutely stunning! My wife was very happy. I highly recommend Joey to anyone else shopping for an Annapolis wedding photographer, or really anywhere if you can convince him!

wedding photographer. Hiring Joey was the best decision my husband and I have made. He is so easy to work with and goes beyond the call of duty to make your vision come true. Joey is super personable and professional and really gives his clients the individual attention they need. On our wedding day Joey brought such a great energy and made sure he got every shot we truly wanted. I can’t even begin to talk about the pictures. I thought our engagement photos taken by Joey were beautiful but when we received just the sneak peak of our wedding photos I was absolutely blown away. The pictures were stunning. Not only were the pictures stunning but Joey caught so many special moments that truly captured the feeling and love of our wedding day. I am so pleased with Joey’s work and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing photographer for their wedding.

So this is a story! I went to a bridal expo Feb 2018. and I was not engaged just yet, but my now husband and I went ring shopping already so my mom, sister and I decided just to go...
look at an expo for ideas of vendors. This is where I met Joey. Instantly we had a connection because his personality was just so out there ( in a good way) compared to all the other photographers who we had met that were just so....well dull. Joey sat us right now and showed us all of his work and it was all so beautiful. Fast forward to July 2018, we finally got engaged! I was not sure of our wedding date yet BUT the day after we got engaged I emailed Joey saying that I remembered him from the expo and I had to have him as my photographer! As soon as we had our date, I told him and he was luckily available! My husband and I had a meeting with him, and my husband is a little reserved at times, but he could NOT stop talking about how much he loved Joeys work and how professional he was. Joey was so easy to work with and very flexible. I cancelled our engagement photos last minute and had to change them and Joey was very accommodating for that. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully! Leading up to the wedding, Joey and I had many phone calls just to get a timeline down and it just put my mind at ease. The day of was a breeze! Him and his partner were so much fun to work with and listened to every photo that I had asked for. I received some of our sneak peaks and they are stunning! I cannot wait to see the rest of them!

Oh my goodness! Where do I even begin? Joey is absolutely amazing!!!! I stumbled upon him at a wedding expo and just fell in love with his personality and style.
Joey is able to...
capture stunning pictures with ease and his personality just fit right in with my new hubby, myself, and my friends and family. He felt like he was a part of the festivities, rather than a vendor.
During the our wedding ceremony and reception, he truly was a "fly on the wall," we didn't notice him and his wonderful second photographer, but knew they were there capturing every bit.
He and his second photographer had such an eye and were able to capture truly spectacular pictures. I still can't stop looking at them- and we only have our "sneak peek" pictures so far!!
I really cannot sing Joey's praises enough! I even told my husband how I was a little sad after the wedding was all over because Joey's job was complete.
