Sibling weddings for us are always fun. If you’ve been following us for years then you know that is so true. We met Cortney and Matt at a wedding we shot earlier this year in April. Cortney and Erin are stepsisters. These girls are also total babes and some of those most sweet women I know. When Cortney and Matt reached out to hire us we were so pumped. There was not a question in their head for hiring us. Cortney doesn’t know this but I found out at her wedding day that she actually broke contract with her other photographer because she wanted us. Well I’m sad for the photographer. I was so flattered and all that she would go that far to have us at her wedding. One of my favorite parts of Cortney and Matt and their marriage and relationship is that they already have kids together. And what I thought was so special was that their bridal party was made up 100% of their kids and family members. I wasn’t sure what the day would look like having some young kids in the wedding party as bridesmaids and groomsmen but I’ll tell you, it definitely was a beautiful experience that we loved experiencing as photographers. The kids were great, the parents were awesome and you could tell that Cortney and Matt just had the best day ever.

Aww yah! Sharing this wedding today and pumped to have another couple that got married in 2021 and included their kids! Lindsay and Mike had a really incredible day, full for fun, laughter and all the baby things. Lindsay and Mike together have two sweet children, both were part of ceremony and the day, and both probably slept great that night.

This Beloved Wedding is a special one for us to share. Manishika and Andres had an intimate under 30 wedding to celebrate their marriage. It was really special to see two cultures come together to honor each other and unite in marriage. Manishika’s Indian heritage merging with Andres’ hispanic culture resulted in special moments and traditions being honored and implemented. Close family and friends joined in person, and they zoomed in other family and friends that were not able to join in person.

Manishika and Andres, congrats! We hope you guys have a wonderful first year married! We wish you the best!

Yah! A wedding is up on the blog today and it’s a beautiful Main Street Ballroom couple, Abbie + Ryan! We got to work with Lauren Corrigan and a wonderful team of vendors.

The day was perfect. Hot, but that didn’t stop anyone from having fun or popping champagne. It did rain but the timing was perfect and happened after all the portraits were done… but you can tell in the photos… the lighting is bomb!

Sharing this wedding is so awesome! Krissy and DJ are one of our rescheduled couples from last year. In fact I was not even supposed to be at Krissy and DJ’s wedding as we had told them last March prior to reschedule and prior to Covid that I was pregnant and may not be able to be at their wedding. We were super bummed because I was so looking forward to shoot their wedding. Then Covid hit. Then they reschedule their wedding. Then I had a baby last July. All that to say I had the honor of shooting Krissy and DJ’s wedding along side my husband this past August. Krissy and DJ got married at the famous Pier 5 hotel in Baltimore Maryland. This venue is a waterfront venue that has beautiful views of the city and waterfront.

Alysia and Brooks had the best day. When I think of their day the moments that stand out the most. Brooks seeing her for the first time is how we all want to be looked at as a bride (or at least I did!). She surprised him with a beautiful blush colored gown. Alysia’s dad responded so sweet alongside his wife and her sister during her father reveal. Probably today they have one of the coolest incorporation of honoring generations at a wedding. Alysia worked really hard with her both her moms to gather wedding items from wedding gowns, shoes, veils, purses, from the living grandparents who would be attending the wedding. Alysia surprised the three beautiful grandmothers on her wedding day with their wedding dresses on display doe all to see. It was beyond beautiful and so honoring of her grandmothers.

Oh man super pumped to share this wedding today. Caroline and Andrew got married last year and we were able to document their smaller Beloved Wedding. Last year’s wedding was intimate as it was just the immediate families of both our bride and groom. But they postponed their big party at the Pendry to this year 2021 and OMG is was amazing. It was a packed day start to finish! These both got ready at the Pendry next to family and bridal parties. I especially loved that the girls did a champagne pop on the balcony of their suite. These two shared a really sweet look at the top of the red velvet staircase at the Pendry.

I’m going to kick this blog post off saying that Bridget and Kenny’s dogs are by far the best and cutest golden retrievers and the most obedient at a wedding, even better than kids haha. But really, really awesome dogs that belong to our amazing Kenny and Bridgette! Their pups were part of the entire day from getting ready to portraits through ceremony.

Kenny and Bridgette, Patrick and I were honored and so excited to be alongside you guys. Although we had never met until the wedding day we felt like we were walking into a friends wedding day of. You guys made us feel so special upon our arrival and it meant the world to us. The whole day was fun. You guys trusted us. For not having done an engagement session you guys were amazing with letting us give you direction for posing and hopefully you felt like you got to enjoy your wedding the way you wanted.

Super excited to share this wedding with you all! We especially loved working with incredible planning team, Elizabeth Bailey Weddings. Grace and Ben were referred to us through them which we are so honored and grateful for.

When we met Grace and Ben we were so thrilled when they hired us as we knew we would have a lot of fun. The day they wanted for themselves was the day they got. A rocking dance party complete with a band and really sweet parent dances. They also had a very cool cake cutting. Graces grandparents own a local bakery, Bonjour Bakery, here in town and the cake was a cake to be smashed not cut. And I mean smashed, like with a hammer.

250!!!! Before I dive into the beauty and adventure of this day I have to just make it known that Emma and Thomas marked for us our 250th wedding, which is that in and of itself is crazy considering we have only been full-time for seven years. We actually didn’t realize until the following week that they were our 250th couple. Just unreal. Thank you Emma and Thomas! So glad it was you!

This wedding was so much fun. I’ve gotten to know Emma over the course of the last few months. Our time with them at their engagement session was so fun, so we knew so would their wedding be! When you first meet Emma she is vibrant and so special. She makes you feel like you’re the most important person in the room. She’s kind, sweet and definitely funny. Her and I share a love of using the Cricut except she is an expert, she basically made everything for her wedding!
