TLIC Media

What TLIC Media does

TLIC Media (legal entity TLIC LLC, Maryland) is a privately held, direct-to-consumer wedding photography and videography company founded in 2010 and based in Frederick, Maryland, with a mailing office in Hagerstown. The company serves engaged couples across the Mid-Atlantic DMV region — Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia — operating as an on-location service at wedding venues rather than from a studio. It has documented 105 or more wedding clients across its operating history, with a named creative team led by Chris (lead videographer) and including multiple photographers (Olivia, Drew, Braeden, Annie), videographers (Jaimie), and a wedding coordinator (Kellie), with podcast host Lexy serving in an external-facing brand role.

The service is organized around tiered packages — Essential, Double Take, and Optimal — that can be configured as Photo + Video, Photography-only, or Videography-only engagements, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Core deliverables include wedding day photography, cinematic videography, teaser films (60-second social-optimized), highlight films (6-8 minutes), full films, and engagement sessions, supplemented by add-ons such as 360 video, live streaming, and drone footage. Delivery is handled through Pic-Time gallery hosting and Google Drive folders, with video content distributed via YouTube. Marketing is content-driven, relying on the company website, an educational blog, the True Love In Color podcast, and a social/YouTube presence, with bookings captured via website inquiry forms and Google Calendar scheduling integrations.

The business operates as a founder/team-owned LLC with no disclosed outside funding, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no institutional investment. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time project fees per wedding engagement plus ancillary add-ons (extended storage at $425/year, re-editing at $80/hr, reproduction at $300, and a 15% rescheduling charge). No formal awards, patents, regulatory actions, or partnership agreements are disclosed, and the company has no proprietary software or AI/ML capabilities of its own.
