Kent County, Maryland
A river town with a college at the top of it
Chestertown sits on the Chester River, a colonial port town with Washington College at the top of it and the water at the bottom. High Street runs between the two, lined with brick houses that are older than the country.
Weddings in Kent County spread out from there: churches and inns in town, and farms and estates along the Chester and the Bay, out toward Rock Hall and Betterton. Justus covers all of it, and on The Big Day package he is with you from two hours before the ceremony through the reception.
Want it on film too? Wedding video is $2,000 for six hours, edited in the order your day happened. Watch his wedding film.

Golden hour in Chestertown
Sunset in Chestertown around the middle of each month. The waterfront faces southeast, so the evening sun comes from behind the town and lights the far bank of the river. The hour before sunset is when Justus sets your portraits.

My husband and I are not the best in front of a camera. With Justus it felt like we were just friends hanging out, and he made us feel so at ease and comfortable while taking pictures.Natalie W. · Client
