Yah! Hannah and Nick are married and we are so excited we got to be alongside them! When Hannah and Nick hired us, they had 2 requests… a photographer that knew BMI and a photographer that could do a really cool night shot that involved lots of champagne spray. We knew we were perfect for the job!

The whole day was wonderful and fun! Hannah and Nick both got ready at Hotel Monaco surrounded by their wedding parties. I LOVED that Hannah did a first look with Nick on the gorgeous staircases at the hotel. Everyone was on time and we headed to Fort McHenry for some photos on the green and water. Soon after, we headed to BMI to photograph all their immediate family segments, followed by some time for them to hang out before walking down the aisle!

Up on the blog today is Josh and Johnnas beautiful October Turf Valley Wedding! We are so excited to share this wedding for sooo many reasons! First off, Johnna’s family, parents and aunts and uncles are owners of Turf Valley. I jokingly say they all own Howard County… and they are some of the most incredible people. But beyond that, Johnna’s sister Nicole is one of my best friends in the industry and I’m so thankful for her friendship. When Nicole shared with me that her sister was engaged, I was sooo excited! I secretly hoped they would hire us, so when Josh and Johnna reached out, I was ecstatic! I love their families more than they know. A funny story before we dive in… back in 2014 when we went full-time as wedding photographers Turf Valley was on my bucket list of venues. I remember thinking… man, the day we photograph a wedding at Turf Valley, I will feel like I hit the lottery. The relationship we’ve cultivated in the last 10 years has brought great friendships, even with their catering staff and managers I feel like we can really create magic there and have the trust of the staff.

We flew to Dallas to photograph one of our amazing 2023 couples Erin and Andrew. While we were there we figured why not drive to Waco and check out Magnolia Silos and all the goodness of Chip and Joanna Gaines. As a husband wife team, it’s pretty inspiring to see another couple work together to build an empire, a legacy, and a place where family and God come first.

This session is so much fun for us to share! Erin and Andrew are one of our 2023 couples and currently live in Dallas Texas. When we met with them on zoom, we knew they would be a great match for us. We proposed the idea of coming to them and we were so excited that they opted to have us! We flew out on a Sunday just to be sure we would get there and got our rental car and checked into our Airbnb. We had a double header wedding weekend flying out so we were thankful for the travel day. Monday was so fun! We met up with Erin and Andrew at the first of 3 locations. Arlington Hall Park was beautiful and there was a lot of green spaces for us to shoot! We left and headed with them to Griggs Park, a really cool sports complex park where the hill over looks downtown Dallas… a spot where Andrew proposed to Erin! Pretty epic and awesome. We flew the drone a bunch and got some sick shots for them! We wrapped up outside the city on a trail that over looks the city but miles away. What a skyline. Sunset didn’t disappoint and the options we found around there were amazing! Erin and Andrew, we had sooo much fun! Dinner at Katy Trail was sooo good too and we are so excited for your wedding next year! Thanks for choosing us and trusting us!

Our first wedding of October is live!! Margot and Ian, we are so excited to share this with you and for you to share it with those you love and care about! This wedding for us was so neat. There were so many aspects of this day that just made it fun, personal, and of course, totally Baltimore! Let’s just start out with the fact that the entire day was spent waterfront. Margot and Ian got ready alongside family and wedding party at the Ritz Carlton condos in Fells Point in private rooms.

Up live on the blog today is Kathryn and Keegan’s beautiful Springfield Manor wedding! I’m excited to share this wedding for so many reasons.

One: I love the beauty of Springfield Manor!
Two: Kathryn and Keegan happen to be a super cute and sweet couple and they have the sweetest little boy Quinn! Maybe one of the cutest ring bearer toddlers we’ve ever photographed.
Three: The whole day went so smooth!

Everyone got ready on site at the venue. They shared a really sweet first look out at the stone fountain overlooking the fields. Kathryn also shared a really sweet first look with her dad in the bridal suite. Wedding party looked amazing and were great to work with. Family was on time which we always love. Once portraits wrapped up, we all headed to a beautiful ceremony at a local church in Frederick. We loved seeing their little guy Quinn walk down an aisle with the other flower children in the wedding. Possibly the most ring bearers we’ve ever had in a wedding. Once this guy said their ido’s, everyone cheered and our newlyweds cheered along with them!

We are so excited to share Jasmine + Brian’s Eagles Nest Country Club wedding! This wedding was shot by our associate team, Melissa and Patrick, and it was a killer day. Jasmine and Brian are such fun couple, and you could totally see their personalities through the details they chose to bring into their wedding. For example, Jasmine’s accent color was “Bling” – from her shoes, to the table decor, to her incredible rhinestone bouquet, the day sparkled! Jasmine also was so organized and detail oriented, it was amazing working with her throughout the planning process, which made for a smooth wedding day.

Yah! Therese and Dan are MARRIED! Happy almost 4 months of being married! We are so excited to share your blog post with the world today and all the incredible fun details of your day. These lovebirds had everything at one location which is always a win because transportation is easy for family, wedding party, and our couples. Pond View Farm is a family owned farm that has a beautiful barn, great space for cocktail hour and a ceremony site the looks out to a gorgeous weeping willow and pond. 

What a session! Halle and Kirby had an incredible adventure with us cruising around Fells Point and Patterson Park. We started our session at Patterson Park where we shot at the Pagoda and surrounding areas. It may have been the windiest session of the year and maybe of our career but these two lovebirds braved the wind, the cold as the temps dropped and were amazing with direction and prompts. Most of our couples come to their sessions nervous but not these two. They are so fun to be around, and so cute together. Halle and Kirby, thanks for trusting us, letting us navigate the wind and call audibles as needed. We think you’re pretty cool! Xo

Oh man… this wedding was off the hook.And it was also special for us because Malorie and Neils wedding was our 300th wedding. Is that incredible or what!?  This couple was next level, fun, amazing, hilarious, and wonderful. There wasn’t a moment of this day that we didn’t love. Their guests were pretty wild too which we are always fans of!
