All I can say is wow. Val and Garrett trusted us without even having to meet us in person. An hour before their session, the skies literally DUMPED rain… non-stop. We weren’t sure if the session was going to happen or not, but in looking at the radar, we wanted to go for it. Once we told them that we wanted to go for it, they did too… (of course knowing we would reschedule if the rian didn’t subside). Upon arrival at the location where Garrett proposed, the sun started to come out. We knew we had 2 hours before the next storm, so we did our best to CRUISE around Havre de Grace and get these lovebirds variety. They did great! We ended our time together at one of my favs… Abbey Burger. And we talked all things life and wedding. Val and Garrett, we are so excited for whats to come and your wedding day! xo

Ooooo this session is so so fun! First off, Ashley and Tim are one of our 2023 destination wedding clients… BOSTON! Yah yah! We are so excited to be alongside them next year.

Ashley was a bridesmaid in a wedding we shot last June and we are soo pumped that they want us to be alongside them. They flew in from Boston and met up with us at Longwood Gardens, this incredible park of sorts that is massive with gorgeous water fountains, stunning tree lines, and an area I call Versailles mainly because it’s just romantic and dreamy. These two did awesome and we are so pumped that they trusted us to take them on a great adventure all over the park! Can’t wait for your wedding, we are going to have the BEST DAY EVER!

Jen and Greg had an awesome wedding at Turf Valley. As one of our rescheduled clients that had hired us back in 2019 we were so excited for their wedding day to come. Jen and Greg warned us that it would be quite the party. And it did not disappoint.

When we arrived at Turf Valley that morning and I walked into the bridal Suite I knew I was in for a good time. The music was blaring, girls were in chairs getting hair and makeup done, and smiles were all around. Greg was just around the corner in another room about ready to meet the guys down in a suite to get dressed and ready for the day. These two had such a fun morning with family and friends. Jen shared a sweet first look with her dad. Soon after Jen would head outside for her first look with Greg. I absolutely love their first look. The way Greg looked at her and their excitement for what the day would hold most so evident. We managed to get all wedding party and the majority of family photos done on the front end of the day.

Ya! This session was such a fun one! Sami and Rob are getting married at Renault Winery in New Jersey next year. They were guests at a wedding we shot in 2021 in Pennsylvania and loved our personalities and of course Josh and Alyssa‘s wedding gallery.

Scott and Erin are one of a kinds. Scott is faithful, sweet, and intentional. Erin is beautiful, kind, compassionate and sweet. When Scott and Erin got engaged Patrick was there for it, AND it was so awesome. We were so excited when they asked us to shoot it and Patrick got to be alongside Scott for his day. The whole day was special. Beautiful weather at Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott Cit. The cake, the details, their rings, their first look. All of it was wonderful. They had a great timeline, started and ended ceremony on time, and partied with everyone they love. We loved working with a great floral team and catering staff. Brian Crowe from Crowe Entertainment DJ’d and it was epic. What a great party and wedding.

Erin and Scott, we are so pumped for you, your future and can’t wait watch your love florish, your family grow (baseball games to come!), and for us to get closer in the years to come We love you so much, are praying for you, and are here if you need anything!

This wedding was one for the books for us. Kristin and Adam are incredible. I felt like I’ve known them forever, but the first time we met in person was at their wedding. K+A were referred to us by one of her bridesmaids, a friend of mine from college, thanks Steph! When they hired us, we were so pumped! We had never shot a wedding at Belmont Country Club in Leesburg VA, so shooting a Loudon County wedding was pretty neat for us. When we arrived, we loved the venue. The guys were in a parlor of a historic house and the girls were in a sitting room that partnered a gorgeous high ceiling bathroom. Probably the prettiest bathroom I’ve ever seen on a wedding day.

Excited to share Heather and Pauls wedding today up on the blog! This was one of our beloved weddings, under 5 hours, under 50 people. These lovebirds are having a big reception in Boone NC later this year but kicked off with an intimate Maryland wedding with family.

This wedding was special for me because of I’ve known the mother of the bride for close to 15 years. Nancy and I both were teaching at the McDonogh school during my short time there as a kindergarten teacher. I had and still have so much respect for Nancy. She’s intelligent, kind, amazing with children and people, and beautiful too. When she reached out about her daughters wedding I was so honored.

This session is one of those that are super fun for us to share. Stephanie and Rick are special to us for a lot of reasons. Stephanie is the sister of one of my brides, Ashley, and was the maid of honor. She did an incredible job for her sisters wedding and I won’t forget when we met, by the end of the night, I secretly hoped that she would be calling us for her wedding! Sure enough, she did, and we were too pumped! Rick is sweet and fun, and loves his dogs, loves his flip-flops and good food. Pretty much like Patrick does, so they paired well all day long. Stephanie and Rick… your day is coming soon… we can’t wait to be alongside you guys! It’s gonna be awesome!

We have been waiting years… yes, years for this incredible wedding with Kevin and Eugenia. When they hired us back in 2019, none of us knew what was coming in a few short months. The pandemic impacted all of us, and thanks to great clients, amazing vendors, and great hope, we knew the day would come and we would all be able to celebrate these two amazing people.

Kevin and Eugenia had a gorgeous day on Gibson Island. A year prior to this day, Kevin and Eugenia made their marriage official on the boat slips on Gibson Island surround by immediate family and handful of friends. To be back on the island felt great, and this time with 10x the amount of people! The morning kicked off with the bridesmaids getting ready at the cottage while the guys golfed and hung out at the clubhouse. Kevin and Eugenia anticipated the moments leading up to their first look. I loved how Kevin looked at his wife as if it was really their wedding day, and not just a party. We cruised around the property of the club and then met the bridal party to go back to the boat docks for portraits. With smaller families we were able to get them a lot of variety and as we say on most wedding days “kids are like popsicles, eventually they melt” and the littles did great until they couldn’t anymore.

I am sooo excited to share photos from Jasmine and Brian’s Baltimore themed engagement session! They are big Ravens fans and Orioles fans, so we met outside the Baltimore Ravens stadium and worked our way around town. They were so much fun and happy to walk around the city to be able to shoot at spots that had important memories for them. Luckily, the Orioles had a night game, so in the morning we were able to shoot at both sides of the stadium with no people around. The Marriott Camden Yards is the host hotel for their wedding, so Jasmine was excited to have the stadium photos to print for the weekend festivities. After the Orioles stadium, we walked over to Pratt Street Ale House where they are considering having their welcome party, and did some fun shots there. It was bright, but we were able to find shade and make the most of it! We finished at the Inner Harbor waterfront, where no shoot is complete without a photobomb from the pirate ship. We decided we were done, so I took Jasmine’s ring for a photo, and when I turned around, Brian was over at Rita’s collecting the perfect end to an engagement session – ice cream! So of course we needed to shoot a few more while they enjoyed some soft serve and laughed together. Thanks for a great session, Jasmine and Brian, I am so excited to capture your special day this fall!!
