    Amazing Light Photos

    Mike and Lindsay were awesome. Amazing photos, we loved that they were light and happy compared to some of the heavy/brooding edits we’ve seen. They were a breeze to work with in rescheduling our wedding from June 2020 to a less covid-y time. Photos came back super fast and they were so fun to hang out with on the actual day. We would recommend them to literally anyone!

    100% recommended

    Lindsey and Mike are the absolute best! They made our day go so smoothly. They work great as a team and made us feel so comfortable. They also worked really well with our videographer and day of wedding coordinator. Lindsey is incredible with communication leading up to the event and during the big day. Also, the photos are truly a dream come true. The shots that they took of us are incredible- we will cherish them forever! I would 100% recommend Focus Bay Photography.

    Pond View Wedding

    Lindsey and Mike were such a pleasure to work with! Their photographs were spectacular and they made us all feel so comfortable on the big day even though we did not have an engagement session with them previously. I was a little nervous since my husband usually takes a while to loosen up but they did an excellent job putting everyone at ease and capturing some beautiful photographs.

    Dream team!!

    Lindsey and Mike, we can’t thank you enough for capturing our special day. Being someone who dislikes having pictures taken, they did such a great job helping me feel at ease. They are incredibly organized and communication was super fast, which, as a bride who loves schedules and timelines, I truly appreciated. Special thanks to Lindsey for meticulously fluffing and adjusting my train to perfection for every single pose :) I can’t wait to utilize Lindsey and Mike for future photographable occasions!

    Amazing beyond words

    Lindsey and Mike were amazing to work with. They were very responsive and very professional. But they also were down to earth and easy to joke with. They were also fast and efficient. We have not stopped looking at our photos since we got them back. We are amazed by the shots that they took. We loved that Lindsey would show us photos that she took that she was excited about during wedding. You could feel her passion. There was nothing that they missed. We hope to work with them again in the future. They really made our day that much more special. We can’t praise them enough.

    Your Search is Over!

    Words can’t even express how AMAZING Focus Bay Photography is. Booking them for my wedding was the easiest decision I made during my entire planning process, and I would recommend them to anyone. Not only is their portfolio amazing, Lindsey and Mike are amazing people who will make sure your day goes smoothly and that every moment is captured beautifully.

    Great communication and organizational skills were must-have attributes of my vendors. From the initial point of contact to the day my wedding gallery was delivered, my emails and text messages were always answered within an appropriate amount of time (I can be a little impatient, so this is saying a LOT). Lindsey and Mike ALWAYS delivered and followed-up on their promises, and when you are planning a wedding and trying to keep track of 4+ vendors, invitations, decorations, etc etc etc, it is so refreshing to have a vendor who is 100% on top of their game! They are able to recommend locations for your engagement shoot and will fill out all the necessary forms to obtain permission to take photos there. A few months before your wedding day, they will send you forms to fill out, which will help them organize the photography schedule on the day-of, and the forms were super easy to follow and to-the-point. Their organization made it very easy for me to remain organized as well!

    I can’t review a photographer without discussing the pictures themselves. After stalking their instagram and their portfolio, it was apparent that the quality of their pictures are PHENOMENAL. We loved EVERY SINGLE picture in our gallery, and when there’s over 500 pictures, you would think that there would be at least 1 that you don’t care for, but NOPE, every single picture was amazing. Also, let’s be honest, most of us are NOT models. My husband and I needed all the direction and instruction we could get when it came to posing, smiling, hand placement, eyeball placement, you get the point, but thankfully Mike and Lindsey are absolute pros at giving direction, and I promise you and your spouse will look like models if you choose Focus Bay Photography as your wedding photographer.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how caring and thoughtful Lindsey and Mike were. Honestly, if it weren’t for them I don’t think my day would have gone as smoothly as it did. Examples of how they exemplified this include: holding my bouquet or drink whenever I needed to free my hands (climbing in and out of a golf cart in a wedding gown is quite difficult), offering to run small errands on the day of, making sure my hair wasn’t stuck in my armpit (gross, I know, but it’s the reality of having long hair - brides beware), taking on the role of my day-of-coordinator when she was busy doing something else, I could go on and on and on. Bottom line is, Mike and Lindsey were a huge part of my wedding day in ways I would have never expected, and I am SO thankful that Focus Bay Photography was there on my big day to capture all of our special moments!

    Great Photography Duo

    Lindsey and Mike were clutch on our wedding day. Lindsey's communication in email and on the phone was clear and helpful leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, Lindsey helped to keep me calm, cool & collected and always assured me we were on track with time and didn't need to rush. Mike kept the group laughing, and Lindsey gave very clear direction during all of the wedding party and family photos, which we really needed. They kept us constantly moving, which gave us time to do a lot of cool sunset and vineyard photos at our venue. They captured all of the photos we requested, and were very easy and natural to work with all day/night. My husband and I both thought Lindsey and Mike were a great duo and bickered just like my husband and I do, which kept us giggling and calm during sunset photos. As for photo quality, our sneak peek photos were great, as were the photos in the final wedding gallery, and this was their first time at this venue! Highly recommend.

    A dream come true

    There is not enough characters to begin to describe how much I love Focus Bay Photography! Form my first interaction with Mike and Lindsey I knew they were going to be our photographers! Mike and Lindsey were so professional and kind throughout the whole process! Even on our wedding day they took all my crazy ideas and made them a reality! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning! Breath taking! I know I am biased but EVERYONE has been raving about our photos! The bridal salon I bought my dress even shared some photos and called me swooning over our photos! Mike and Lindsey has hearts of pure gold and it was truly an honor to work with them! I’ll be calling them when our little family grows for more photos! I couldn’t imagine having someone else capture the most important day of my life, and all the important days to come!

    Our photos look amazing!

    Lindsey and Mike are absolute professionals. One of the great things about photographers is that you can actually know how you mesh before the wedding day, something you don't get with most vendors. We were a little nervous that taking our engagement photos would be awkward but Lindsey and Mike really put us at ease in a way that I think only a couple that works together can. On our wedding day, they were extremely organized even though we arrived a little late to the venue (they were on time and began taking venue detail shots before we arrived). We received all the photos we could have wanted, and more. For their quality and style of photography, I also noticed that their prices were a great value compared with other similar photographers. I would absolutely recommend Focus Bay for your big day!

    Wonderful!

    Lindsey and Mike were wonderful and we are so grateful we chose them for our wedding. From the beginning they were responsive, friendly, and very easy to talk with. On our wedding day they made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and they captured such beautiful photos from the day without ever feeling obtrusive. They were very personable and professional and they helped to keep us all on track with our wedding day timeline without ever feeling rushed. We absolutely love our wedding photos and we look at them all the time! Overall we really loved working with them and we would highly recommend Focus Bay Photography to anyone!

    We can't recommend Lindsey & Mike enough! Focus Bay was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event and the day-of. Lindsey & Mike immediately made me at ease during the somewhat awkward individual photos (now stare at your dress, now smile while doing so, etc). Lindsey even offered me her earring back when we found that one of mine was missing! Our wedding day was rainy, so our outdoor photo locations were out of the question, and Lindsey & Mike were able to find wonderful back up spots for us. Our sneak peek photos were absolutely beautiful and we can't wait to get the rest of the photos back. Definitely hire Focus Bay!

    We love Focus Bay!

    Focus Bay was amazing! The photos got tons of complements, and they were totally willing to work with us with some of the "out of the box" requests I had- they were so happy to accommodate our dog in the photos! Thank you so much Mike and Lindsay! They are the best.

    Wonderful!!

    Working with Lindsey and Mike was wonderful! We were looking for someone who was relaxed and professional, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Planning with them was so easy. They were able to make sure that I got everything I was looking for, and communicated with my mom so well when she had additional questions. Most importantly for me, I felt so comfortable taking pictures on my wedding day because they were so easy to work with. We got married on a Sunday afternoon, and despite the harsh midday sun, the pictures turned out absolutely perfectly! Thanks Lindsey and Mike!!

    Lindsey and Mike are the absolute best. We are so grateful we chose them as our photographers for our wedding day. I knew when I started looking of all of the vendors I was going to be really picky about our photographer but as soon as I saw their work and spoke with Lindsey on the phone I knew I wanted to work with them. They were so easy going, professional, and kind. Exactly the type of people you want to be with you on your big day. Not to mention even our guests told me after the wedding how much they liked our photographers because they were so nice. They were also super helpful when it came to building our timeline and working out what the day would look like and flexible when we needed to make some changes. Our photos came out so amazing, we are in love with them I haven’t stopped looking at them since we got them. THANK YOU a million times over Lindsey and Mike!!!

    Lindsey and Mike are incredible photographers! They have captured huge moments throughout my husband and my's relationship starting with the proposal, to the formal engagement photo session and finally, the wedding. With every gallery, we have fallen in love with the photos and they've constantly exceeded our expectations. Lindsey and Mike are completely professional, while being fun and relatable. They even made sure we received a sneak peak the day after the wedding before we left for our honeymoon! Of course, I couldn't stop staring at them on the plane ride. We have already received so many compliments from our friends and family members as far as the quality of the photos. I can't put into words how amazing it was to work with Focus Bay and we highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for incredible proposal/engagement/wedding photos. Thank you Lindsey and Mike for capturing our perfect day!

    Lindsey & Mike photographed our wedding in October 2017. They are AWESOME! I should have known how amazing they’d be when they agreed to meet us for the first time at a brewery with our dog! They are so nice and down to earth, people that we could actually connect with and let down our guards when being photographed - something we were a little nervous about, as we aren’t really the kind of couple that likes to be in front of the camera. They were also super flexible with our package - we k ew we didn’t really want an engagement session, so Mike and Lindsey worked with us to make sure our package included everything we wanted but nothing we didn’t. On the day of, they were so great - so patient with the finicky flower girl, and they totally rolled with the punches when we had some unexpected hiccups. I can’t say enough nice things about Lindsey and Mike - if you want a team that You can really get comfortable with, they should be your choice!!!

    I seriously cannot thank/recommend Focus Bay Photography enough for the AWESOME job they did capturing our wedding day!!! We had our wedding at the Baltimore Museum of Industry back in September. Lindsey and Mike were so accommodating to any of our requests and were awesome to work with from start to finish! We did not have a wedding planner or day of person so at times wedding planning seemed a little overwhelming; but i am so grateful for our amazing vendors! Lindsey and Mike took the time to set up a phone call and we went over our entire day start to finish with a timeline - let me tell you what a sigh of relief I had after that call! They were so responsive to all of my emails and phone calls leading up to the day. The day of the wedding they were on time and ready to capture the gorgeous day! They made sure prior to the wedding they knew all the pictures we wanted and they included all of our important family members and whoever else we requested, along with capturing amazing candid pictures! The pictures were GORGEOUS!! so soft, elegant and classy. We got married back in September and it is safe to say that still in March I look through my pictures at least once a week : ) My husband and I really loved every single one along with our families- we are so lucky to have such beautiful pictures that capture the moments of us getting ready all the way through the reception - truly priceless. I think for the quality of the pictures the fact that you have the rights to all of them and most importantly the professionalism of Lindsey and Mike the price is truly hard to beat!! Also, we received a sneak peak the day after the wedding!!! I cannot recommend Focus Bay Photography enough - I was truly happy with our experience and will certainly be reaching out to them in the future for family photo sessions : ) Thank you Focus Bay for our priceless, gorgeous wedding photos!

    Lindsay & Mike were THE BEST situation as far as photographer/videographer team we could come by in the Southern Maryland area. Originally from Philadelphia, we had to do our research for an affordable, yet QUALITY photographer foremost, AND doubling with film as a added BONUS. The bride having a background in event planning knew that Focus Bay had what it takes to take an event and capture the essence of the couple and true meaning behind the vows and entire vision. So, being a couple from Philly, but recently settled in Maryland, Focusbay knew by interviewing us that we wanted to share our newly beloved hobbies of living by the water (fishing, crabbing, boating, bay beach sunsets) but WITH out closest friends and family on our wedding day. They absolutely took the entire theme and ran with it all throughout our photos/video. Their video team with Blue Duck Weddings totally ROCKED out vision throughout the video. AND THEN, to add to our appreciation of this Focus Bay group, the photos you could NEVER tell, but the weather wasn't the greatest. SOOOO they came BACK to our Kent Island venue and did a second photoshoot with us AGAIN after our honeymoon. Just so that we could get some photos with sunshine and on the beach of our wedding venue the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. They NEVER made me feel like I was ridiculous for desiring more photos, even though, we all know my GROOM was doing this for THE BRIDE! Happy wife, happy life! Right!? Hah, either way, we really appreciated Focus Bay's enthusiasm for our wedded wishes from START to FINISH. They are BY FAR the best couple photography the Maryland wedding market could ask for. Highly recommend. Email if you would like to see more of our Nautical, shabby chic wedding album.

    Lindsey and Mike are AMAZING and we can’t recommend them highly enough! They were an absolute dream to work with! You can tell that they have a passion for their photography and are true artists. They were always responsive to every email, and had great suggestions regarding the timeline and logistics on our wedding day. Their guidance and humor helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and as someone who tends to be critical of herself in photos I can honestly say that we loved every image that we received! They came out better than we could have ever imagined! We are truly grateful that we found Lindsey and Mike to capture our day in such a beautiful way. We will cherish our wedding photos forever!

    My husband and I highly recommend Lindsey and Mike, along with their videography team. We actually decided to book them after they shot my matron of honor's wedding a year before ours. They're fun, considerate, and when appropriate, they fade into the background, capturing moments you don't even realize until you get the photos back. In this way they are the perfect professionals.

    They are also very artistic. I love their choice of composition, angles, and lighting. In fact, it was kind of rainy during our garden engagement shoot (but I HAD TO HAVE it on that day because my favorite flowers were in bloom lol) and they went above and beyond, using umbrellas when necessary and extra lighting to compensate. It turned out to be the misty, moody, Downtown Abbey look I was going for. Amazing!

    I think I knew I wanted Focus Bay Photography as soon as I saw their page on WeddingWire. Not only were their pictures gorgeous, but they were so responsive and accommodating. Every stupid little question I asked was responded to within a few hours, if not immediately. They captured our day beautifully and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Thank you guys so much!
