While we may still be catching up from the amazing 2021 year we had and the most weddings and engagement sessions we’ve ever shot in one year… we are sooo excited to share all the beauty we’ve encountered and shot over the last 4-6 months. Todays we are sharing Dana and Drew’s session. They wanted fall, a place their dog would love and a place that we loved to photograph. Centennial park is special to me, probably because of all the times I’ve been here both personally and professionally. Dana and Drew rocked their session. We had so much fun cruising all around the park, even after dark. They let us play with lighting and sunset and water. Dana and Drew, we are so excited to be alongside you guys in this season of life. Your day is going to be awesome! Enjoy the process! We are cheering you on!

What a beautiful wedding that Megan and Ryan had! These guys had beautiful weather, and wonderful bridal party, and a reception that was so much fun!

The girls got ready at Megan’s parents house, and Ryan and his guys got ready and hung out in the morning while playing pool. They had a beautiful ceremony in a church in front of family and friends. As husband and wife, they were cheered on my all and everyone headed to Eagles Nest Country Club for cocktail hour and photos!

The night was full of super sweet moments, speeches, family dances, and of course wild party rock dancing.

Megan and Ryan, we are so excited for you! Thanks so much for trusting us and allowing us to be part of your day. We wish you the best!

I’m pretty excited to share this gallery with the world today! Lindsay and Jay are one of our 2020 Covid couples who did not only reschedule their big wedding but also had a wedding with family and friends in the summer of 2020. I had the honor of meeting Karen and her daughter Lindsay and fiance Jay last summer when I went and did photos for them at their home. We knew we were in for a good time with this family.

The day started and ended at the beautiful Rosewood Farms in Elkton Maryland. We’ve had the honor and privilege of shooting at this venue multiple times and it’s definitely worth the trip every single time. The staff is always incredible and I think the feelings are mutual how much we like them and they like us.

Lindsay and Jay got ready surrounded by a beautiful group of bridal party members. I especially loved it they included their dog Bunny on their wedding day both in newlywed pictures and in her own little segment. Their bridal party was super fun and ready to party. The day flew by for us. Some of our favorite details and moments are the day are the sweet surprises from the brides parents. A champagne cart and a hotdog late night snack cart.

This was such a fun session! First off, it was so pretty! The lighting for Margot and Ian’s session was nothing short of dreamy! We cruised all around the grounds at Cylburn arboretum. Margot and Ian were in town with her parents (and pup) and soon after their session they would drive back home to NY. I loved that her parents got to see us do our thing too! While we wish they lived closer, we know when we do see them, it’s going to be for their wedding! Margot and Ian, we are so excited for our time with you in 2023! Enjoy this season, it will go so fast, so soak up every moment you can!

It feels like these guys have been engaged forever… and it’s because they have been! After a nearly two year engagement and lifelong love (such a cute story of childhood sweethearts… kinda!), these two finally tied the knot this September. The weather held out for a beautiful day by the water. The boys even boated across from Maci and Kyle’s home to the venue! (And got pulled over by the boating police on the way haha). This wedding was full of fun. A boat trip. An outdoor ceremony by the water. Cute kids. A packed dance floor. A beautiful sunset. It was a great day! Thank you so much for having me, guys! I’m so glad to be able to relive your day again and again through your photos and film.

Doing siblings weddings is always and has always been special for us.

3 1/2 years ago we shot a wedding for a couple named Seth and Megan. It was beautiful and so much fun. That day I met her whole family, including her sister Katie. Katie is sweet and fun and beautiful. When Katie got engaged to Mitch we were so honored that they reached out to us to want to to photograph their day. Even more special was the fact that my past couple, Megan and Seth, gifted us to their siblings as their wedding present. Holy Moly! I am beyond blessed and honored and don’t take that for granted. So Megan and Seth thank you.

What a stunning but hot day! Haylie and Chris, Congrats! We are so excited you are married!

We have love being alongside of you guys since day one and are honored that you had us document your wedding day. For those reading this blog post I am so excited to share some of the moments that you will find in the photos below. The morning started at two different Airbnb’s where Chris and his groomsmen and Haylie and her bridesmaids got ready. We worked alongside a really great vendor team including a wonderful planning team with Lauren and Sharon from Celebrations Events. Every detail was strategic and beautiful.

For us this was a special wedding because we had already experienced a wedding in which Haylie and Chris got to see us in our element at their friends wedding. When their day finally came it was nothing short but trust fun and creativity. Haylie and Chris said their I Do’s on the water at Chris’ mom’s house. That will forever be sentimental and special to them and a place they can return to for family gatherings and memories. Just a few yards away, a beautiful clear tent, all the beautiful things, and a mix of circle and rectangle tables where guests would watch beautiful speeches and dances happen, and experience some surprises too.

We can’t believe we haven’t blogged this session! 2021 was insane with the volume of weddings and sessions we had… thanks to COVID and couples being forced to reschedule. BUT that didn’t stop us from photographing amazing sessions and couple!

Allie and Brian reached out soon after they booked us and made it known that they wanted their session at a Hot Air Balloon festival. In fact, I think that when we met them, they told us that and we put it on our calendar before they had even committed to us as their wedding photographers.

When you both have a favorite football team, you have to represent your team! We loved that Emily and Trevor incorporated into their classy engagement session a little personality. We started their session at M&T Bank Stadium and did a mini segment with their team shirts.

After that, the outfit change, and then headed into Fells Point, one of my favorite locations for engagement sessions. There’s so much you can capture down there so we were pumped that they were up for an adventure. We had a lot of fun with these two and we knew during that session that these guys would be the best couple to end our 2021 year with! Thanks so much guys for a great session. Loved getting to know you at dinner over Abby Burgers. We are so excited to share your wedding gallery with you… it’s almost done! Woot woot!

It’s pretty amazing how the referrals of people bring us such incredible people. In 2017 we shot a wedding for a couple named Amanda and Rob. For those that don’t know we got cheated out of half of their wedding photos when digital files went missing. We came to find out that Dropbox lost photos that we would never get back. After a full refund and thousands of dollars in data recovery, we learned the lesson that nothing is ever truly safe in a tech world.

The grace Amanda and Rob and their families extend it to us was unparalleled to the point that we will by January 2022 will have shot all three sisters’ weddings. Amanda and Rob continue to refer friends of theirs to us which is how Sierra and Dan found us. Of their friends, we shot a wedding for Korinna and Dustin as well as Allison and James which led us to Sierra and Dan. Holy moly.
