Your wedding, close to home.

Wedding photographer in Denton, MD and Caroline County

Denton is seven miles from where Justus lives and works, near Greensboro. Caroline County is home, and it looks the way his portraits do: open fields, tree lines and a big sky at golden hour.

Caroline County, Maryland

Farm country weddings

Denton is the county seat of Caroline County, on the Choptank River. Caroline is the one county on Maryland’s Eastern Shore that touches neither the Chesapeake Bay nor the ocean, so a wedding here is more often a family farm, a barn, a church or a backyard than a waterfront resort.

That suits the way Justus works. He likes natural poses and real moments, and a field at the end of the day gives him both. On The Big Day package he is there about two hours before the ceremony and stays through the reception.

He also photographs weddings in Greensboro, Ridgely, Federalsburg, Preston and Hillsboro, and across the line in Queen Anne’s and Talbot counties.

Sunset in Denton around the middle of each month. On a farm there is nothing between you and the horizon, so the last hour of light is long and warm, and it is the hour Justus plans your portraits around.

So far, he has photographed our wedding, maternity shoot, and newborn session and we couldn't be happier with his work. Justus has a very unique and beautiful style of photography that you just won't get anywhere else.
