We are so excited to share this wedding with you all! Alyssa and Prashant got married at the beautiful Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel! This couple is a power duo, just incredible people. Very kind and their guests were even kinder. They had the best of both worlds with two ceremonies to bind their family traditions together.

Love stories grow with time, and so for these co-workers, love grew at work! Caroline and John were teachers that met at Dundalk high school over 5 years ago. Their love grew as the school had events and they happened to keep signing up for the same ones. It just made sense to start spending life together.

Caroline and John’s wedding was fun, intentional and playful. The day started off with the bridal party getting ready where the girls and guys were laid back drinking champagne and playing cards. Caroline got ready at Eagles Nest alongside her mom and bridesmaids.

This wedding is so fun for us to post. When we met Zach and Melinda, I’ll never forget thinking how amazing these two are together. Zach is by far one of the most gentle yet strong man… like the kind that leads well, that you’d follow because you trust him. And Melinda, what a babe. She even told me once “I’m not really girly” and I told her straight up, you’re a bombshell… she’s just super humble, so sweet, and I can definitely see us being friends for life.

From our time with them eating dinner after their engagement session, to our final meeting, a few texts, we knew their wedding was bound to be full of fun, tears, and sweet moments. I can’t even say what my favorites were because there were so many cool things that these guys did. So I’m gonna start at the beginning and work my way through the end.

Haha! Yah, we are excited about posting this session! We met Steve years ago when he was a groomsmen in Heather + Tylers wedding (btw a couple who we’ve come to love and know as best friends). Fast forward, we’ve run into Steve at other weddings and have come to find out that everyone knows Steve! Double tap if you know what I mean and if you know Steve haha. And Megan, what a babe… she’s sooo good for Steve and the two of them are awesome together. A few months ago, Steve reached out and we got to do their proposal, and it was fitting for us to venture back down to Fells Point and do their session! We can’t wait for our time together with you guys and celebrating your marriage! Woot Woot!

Yah! A turf valley wedding! I remember in our first couple years of business, Turf Valley was bucket list for us. I wanted to be their friend, wanted to shoot weddings there. Well, let’s just say… they’ve become one of our favorite venues. Not only do they refer weddings to us, but we have the honor of photographing events there, even their spa and pool. Patrick got to be a model once to lol. Anyway, we love Turf Valley and this wedding was our first there this year!

Stacy and Ryan are such a bomb couple. They truly are some of the most genuine people we’ve had the honor of photographing. They are sweet, kind, down to earth, and were just a joy to be around their whole wedding day. They even let us steal them at sunset and walk literally like 100 yards to chase the sun!

I’m so excited to share this wedding for so many reasons! I met Paige years ago, in the winter of 2011, maybe it was even 2012. I was working for a brand agency in Towson, and Paige worked for one of our clients. Little did I know that years later, 8 years to exact, that Paige and Matt would reach out and hire us to be their wedding photographers. I honestly was so excited, nervous and honored. I didn’t really get to say goodbye to Paige when I stopped working for that agency, so reconnecting with her was so special. There is sooo much to go on about with this wedding, so I think it’s best if I just go in order!

Oh my gosh… I don’t even know where to begin! Jake and Bridget was a wedding in the books for us for so many reasons. This day started off soooo crazy with our inability to even get to our couple thanks to a barricade on the bay bridge. It was a saga to say the least. Out of all my couple, Bridget and Jake had the hands down best attitude about there day. They had already been through rescheduling their 2020 wedding so why not have one more thing to test patience!? Right!?

Congratulations to Clare and Zach! Due to COVID, this was one of our many rescheduled weddings. We photographed their small ceremony last year and this year they were able to celebrate with all of their friends and family on the water! We had a little bit of afternoon showers but Clare and Zach took them in stride and we got to spend some time in the beautiful gardens at Historic Londontown! Their sweet reception was complete with a bar of mini cupcakes and a special tribute song that Zach had played for his parents to dance to. It was wonderful to spend the day with you. Thanks for including us!

We are always honored when other skilled photographers hire us to shoot their wedding. When we first met Nicole and Ray, I remember driving home from our time with them, after eating ice cream curbside. I told Patrick “I really like them.” I was intimidated initially by Nicole. She’s beautiful, fun, spontaneous. I wasn’t used to being around a bride at an engagement session who was so confident and fun, treating me like a friend I’ve known forever, right off the bat. Most couples go into their engagement session nervous, and a little closed off.

Nicole and Ray got married at a venue we had never shot before and what a beautiful venue Kylan Barn is! New venues are so fun for us. We have to figure out how we are going to light it for reception, where portraits will happen depending on lighting situations day of.

The morning of the wedding, we pulled up to Kylan Barn and I immediately said, this is going to be awesome.

This wedding is special for us to share! We’ve known Melissa for a few years now. I actually don’t remember how we met Melissa but she’s been a photographer for us, has become a sweet friend, and a cheerleader for our business. When Melissa got engaged to Brian, we basically told her we wanted to shoot her wedding. No pressure, but wanted to love on them, and do it as a way to thank her for the work she’s done for us, but also because we genuinely were excited for her, her future, and her wedding.

Melissa and Brian had an awesome engagement session with us, and we loved our time with them afterwards eating Mexican food at a great restaurant called Pachanga in Ellicott City. Things were up in the air for a little while due to COVID but we are so pumped when they said they were going to move forward and still have their wedding.
