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!

Merrill and John got married last year in an intimate ceremony, and celebrated on their one year anniversary date with a special brunch for their family and friends. The location was Annapolis Yacht club, and we were blessed with a beautiful day. We did their newlywed portraits on the docks and around the Yacht club, followed by family portraits, and a beautiful brunch! Merrill’s dad gave a beautiful toast, and there were plenty of mimosas and macaroons to go around. Thank you for trusting us to celebrate your day with you!

What a sweet, sweet day. Rachel and Matt had a beautiful wedding at the Hunt Valley Country Club this August! They had a really cute first look where Rachel signed her new name onto a baseball for Matt who is a huge fan. Their ceremony was so personalized and sweet and was a true testament to their relationship and all that they had been through. Not a dry eye from our photography team left! They are both such a relaxed and fun couple and it showed throughout their wedding day and how much fun they had during their reception. Thanks so much for including us, it was an honor to be there on your wedding day!

Excited to share this wedding with you all. Sylvia and John are the sweetest couple, complete with the cutest little ring bearer and great kids. They had a beautiful wedding at Eagles Nest Country Club. Despite the rain, we were able to get outside, capture all the segments that they wanted, and still enjoyed a beautiful cocktail and wedding reception.

A few of my favorite moments from the day was their first look, riding around the property in golf carts and watching their son play with our umbrellas, and then when their co-workers surprised them with fire engines and the shifts came out to cheer for them and honor them. Love our local firefighters and medical teams! I also loved that they cut their cake with an axe!

Yah! Diane and Jeff’s Wedding is up on the blog!

Diane and Jeff are one of our 2020 rescheduled couples. They ended up eloping in 2020 in the midwest but still wanted to celebrate with family and friends locally in Maryland.

This wedding is so neat for sooo many reasons.

First off, Diana is a gem. As a previous planner, her attention to detail is unreal. Every aspect of the day was planned out, thought out, and intentional. From her invitations to the florals, to the lighting and food. I remember when she hired us for their wedding, how excited she was about all the beauty and details. Now another awesome part of this wedding is the planner. Connie of RaynorShine Events is one of my past brides. She’s amazing, thoughtful, and also very attentive to detail. So the power duo planners were in this from the beginning. This is one of our weddings that we didn’t meet our groom Jeff, until the day of. And what a stud. He’s handsome, sweet, and he sure loves Diana.

What a fun session! Maci and Kyle invited us over to their home in Sparrows Point for this session on the water! We went out on their boat and drove to a beautiful lighthouse on the water. It’s amazing to see how the state changes just a short ride from Baltimore! We were able to get some beautiful shots of their boat, named after Maci. We celebrate their wedding in less than a month! We can’t wait to see you again at the end of September!

Lindsay and Matt are of our rescheduled couples. We have had the privilege of being alongside so many couples through what has been an emotional year and roller coaster. We are so glad that we were able to move every single one of our weddings.

When the day finally arrived, we were giddy for them! The girls got ready at Lindsay’s parents house in Towson at a childhood place with dogs included. Matt got ready at a local hotel. Lindsay wore her grandmothers handkerchiefs with her garters and she included a peach colored invitation stationary card with her flat lay that was the last piece of grandmother’s stationery. Some other things to note… we hung her dress on a Redwood tree that her dad planted that grew on their property. Laughter filled the rooms at both locations and eventually everyone would reconvene and meet up at the beautiful Bayfront Club on the water.
