Urban Row Photography

roughout the day. Our families and wedding party also had the best time with her. She has a wonderful eye and is a joy to be around. We cannot recommend her enough!!

ast architect, which clearly informs her artistic eye) who knows how to direct her subjects (something we were so nervous about – wanting to be guided into flattering positions but yet still have things feel natural and not too posed) with care, an incredible resource for all things wedding-related, and most of all a kind, warm, welcoming soul. My now-husband and I are very non-spontaneous people, and we had all intentions of speaking with multiple potential photographers to suss out who was the best fit for such an important moment in our lives. Yet when I came across Naomi and Urban Row, something just felt right. When speaking to her on an introductory Zoom call, we sensed her talent, warmth, and enthusiastic spirit, as I imagine you quickly will too. In a very un-ourselves type of way, we just knew we had to book her. When it came time for our engagement photos (included in every wedding package), Naomi was incredibly prepared. She sent a detailed questionnaire to get to know us and our story better and provided helpful insight as to when and where to do them (her blog is a fantastic resource for so many things – look up the post she has on 36 locations for engagement sessions in Baltimore) as well as suggestions, even, of what to wear (two outfits, because she brings her own pop-up changing station!!)! Again showing her detail-oriented nature, she arrived early to our location, even though it was a popular one she had photographed before, to scope out potential shots with the light that day. We were nervous but ended up having the best time with her that day taking our photos, and we were so happy with the genuine, beautiful, joyful results which we received not long after our afternoon together. Once our wedding came around, seeing Naomi again felt like seeing an old friend. About two weeks before our wedding, she organized a final call with us and our coordinators to go over all the details, and it felt so nice just to see how “handled” she clearly had everything – truly down to a science. The security that we felt with Naomi & her team was worth its weight in gold at an otherwise stressful time. On the day of our wedding, she and her second shooter (Margarita, who we also loved!!) came in with the same genuine excitement, care, support, and precision that we had come to expect from the Urban Row brand. Together, they captured priceless moments of myself and my now-husband, but also candid moments of our closest friends and family members on that day – something we will treasure always. I am so grateful that we trusted our gut feeling in those early days and that we were able to have Urban Row Photography by our sides on the most important day of our lives! We are excited to work with Naomi in the future for other photo opportunities, as we honestly just miss her (lol!) – we looked forward to every interaction we had with her, as we left each and every one feeling comfortable, supported, and cared for. We couldn’t be happier with the photos she and Margarita captured for us and can’t wait to see all the joy they will continue to bring to the people lucky enough to work with Urban Row.

t ease, and made taking pictures fun. I couldn't believe how much we laughed at our engagement photo session. It was something my husband and I were both dreading, and she made it so relaxed and fun, and the photos turned out amazing. The photos are fantastic, I love that UR doesn't use a ton of filters, rather, the photos look like actual real life, the way we remember them. Naomi and her team also look for those shots outside of the posed ones, that makes the day special. One of my favorite photos from my wedding album is my dog looking up the stairs when the girls are getting ready. I know that sounds silly, but it's those little moments captured that are so special to look back on. Another thing that sets UR apart is Naomi's experience in architecture, this really comes through in the composition of her photos and in how she sees the world and sets up shots. I cannot say enough kind words about the phenomenal experience we had with Urban Row.
