Hi! We're Photos from the Harty!

Photos from the Harty specializes in wedding, event, and lifestyle photography. We are based in DC but have photographed weddings all over the world. Our goal is to tell the story of any event or wedding by capturing even the tiniest, yet immensely important, moments; we believe that the raw moments in life are already perfect, and we strive to capture those things happening in real-time in order to tell the story of your day as it is.

We've learned a lot from capturing and being a part of all types of special moments, especially weddings. One thing that has really stuck with us through the years is that

It’s not only important to love your pictures - you should also love your photographers!

You will spend more time with us on your wedding day than anyone else. We’ll be there to help you through anything that may arise; we love to laugh and we believe that making people happy is one of the best feelings in the world. We're not afraid to crack jokes or tear up during the ceremony; we really invest in knowing you and what makes you happy/beautiful/perfect; more often than not, we bustle the bride's dress, pin boutonnières, fix guests' outfits or hair, and even tie bowties. We want to do whatever it takes to make your wedding day perfect. That's just us! :)

So, keep reading to get to know us better. If you like what you read and like what you see, please reach out to us. We look forward to meeting you!
