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!

Gahhh!! If I had a favorite session of the year it would be this one, and I can say that biased because Melissa is not just one of my 2023 brides but because she is my right hand, my amazing associate photographer, and she keeps our editing queue on point and running. She’s basically my best friend. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for her and Chandler. And a crazy cool fact… Patrick and I photographed Chandler’s mom wedding in 2015!

This wedding pretty much sums up a Baltimore wedding. The whole day was spent in different parts of Baltimore, from Fells, to Federal Hill, to Fort McHenry and more. It even includes a water taxi adventure, an outdoor ceremony on the water and a reception under the lights outside overlooking Baltimore. Miranda and Curt had such an awesome day. 

Today up on the blog, we are sharing Brittany and Joe’s beautiful American Visionary Art Museum Wedding! These two had such a full and fun day with some of the best variety of photos we’ve gotten at Loyola Chapel and AVAM. Some of my favorites of the day include the trolley that the girls rode in together to their ceremony and that the bridal party cheered in front of upon arrival at AVAM. I loved the first look between Brittany and her dad and when her brothers saw her for the first time, they were soo sweet and got emotional! She gifted her dad custom cufflinks with a photo of her as a baby and her handwriting. 

Yah! I’m so excited to share this session! These guys are our last wedding of 2022 and we are so pumped that they are the ones closing out our calendar! When we met up with them for their session, we knew were were going to have a blast. We had an hour to get as much variety as possible since we had so many ideas and places we wanted to take them in Old Ellicott City. Jenna and Scott met through work and were inseparable… very much like their session. They make each other smile and come alive. I LOVED Jenna’s dress… so much that I actually have it in navy! Now I have to go get mine altered cause she made it look so good! We took them from the bottom of the hill, almost to the top and wrapped up right around the new Mason Jar milkshake bar and La Palapas! Too bad it was closed by the time we finished up, so we walked over to La Palapa where we spent a couple hours just hanging out! Jenna and Scott, we are soo excited to be alongside you guys documenting your story, family, people, and love. Thanks for choosing us and trusting us!!

These guys dominated since the first steps they took at Cylburn Arboretum. We decided to cruise property, chase amazing light, find some nooks where these two could cozy up, and honestly, they didn’t need a ton of directions. They are beautiful, in love, and sweet. Ally and Kyle, thanks for letting us throw you into poses… we were hot and ready to go after the wedding we had the day before! Oh and dinner was soo good. We decided to all share nachos and buffalo chicken flatbread, talk about the new House of Dragons, Game of Thrones, and all things wedding! So pumped for you guys and what’s to come and so glad we get to be alongside you! Xo M+P

Yahh! This wedding is so fun for us to post. Let’s first start off saying that is was our first full greek traditional wedding we’ve photographed. But beyond that, everything in the day was amazing. The day started off with the wedding party and families getting ready at the Four Seasons hotel. We had gorgeous details and monogrammed goodness, we had so much fun photographing their personals.

Angela’s mom dressed her and Chris’ brother and dad helped him. With reveals with bridesmaids, dad and moms, these two went into their first look giddy, excited and anticipating the best! When Chris turned to see Angela, it was amazing. The nerves left and the two of them giggled, hugged and kissed and they both just admired each other. Within minutes a surprise showed up, their sweet dog. We love when fur babies show up to wedding days so we made sure to get those pics. Since our almost newlyweds opted for a first look, we were able to get all their iconic photos on the front end of the day! Wedding party and family were amazing to work with and we got to church on time and ready to get these two married. I loved the Greek ceremony with all its customs and important moments. Soon after announcing them as husband and wife, a bubble send-off with all guests as they cheered and celebrated our newlyweds! We surprised these guys with some drone photos since the church building was soo neat… a bucket list church to shoot at!

What a day, what a wedding, what a couple. This Four Seasons wedding was absolutely stunning and the best part… our couple. Gemma and Sean are a dream. They are sweet, have great taste, were fun to work with and getting to know them came easy, and of course when their wedding day arrived, we were giddy to be along for the ride! We did keep them on time but that was also contributed to working beside a wonderful planner, Lauren Corrigan! The day started out fun with a champagne pop with the babes, some fun guy time at their house, and a great hair and makeup team.
