We were so excited to shoot with Christina and Jeremy at Longwood Gardens! Let me first say that Christina is the third sister in a family. We had photographed the other 2 sisters weddings, Amanda and Melissa, and we couldn’t be more excited to be photographing her wedding in January. Jeremy, we are so pumped you’re marrying into that family, they are amazing as you already know.

with the fact that Erin has become a dear friend of mine. I met her years ago, like 2014 or 2015, in a different season of our lives, and can’t believe we got to shoot her beautiful wedding in April! When she and Brian reached out in 2019, we are so honored! Watching her marry the love of her life was a dream… like I actually had a dream about it and even told her haha. Brian is such a stud… he’s amazing. Motivated and the pursuer of Erin’s heart… it’s so evident and obvious. These two rockin’ business owners are amazing… Erin is my massage therapist and together they own B-Fit, a gym in downtown Baltimore.

Their wedding day was full of so much goodness. With a bridesmaid reveal, a first look shared with Brian, a gorgeous sunny day at the Mansion at Valley Country Club, and of course a rocking party…. what a day! I loved the choreography they did together for their first dance and her matron of honor’s speech, her sister, had the whole room laughing.

This wedding was one we have been looking forward to and waiting for! As one of our postponed couples, Jen and Sergio had waited long and hard to get married. We met them back in 2019 and had even done an escape room with them on a quadruple date! (And yes, we all won!).

How do I describe Jen and Sergio? Let’s just start with the fact that they too love Jesus, like we do. They love each other, their relationship is founded on deep trust, Jesus, the bible, and family. They met online swiping right, had an okay first date including going dutch on coffee, but Jen gave him another chance. Sergio already knew he’d marry Jen. It was a God thing… Jen knew to go on another date And I laughed so hard during their vows, when Jen said “Four years later, I forgive you, for not buying my coffee.” They’ve been inseparable ever since their second date.

It’s super rare for us to show up at a wedding having never met the couple in person. This was the case with Kelsey and Gabe. I walked into the bridal suite and immediately connected with Kelsey! It was one of those things that I knew it was going to be a great day. Prior to walking in to met her, I see this super handsome man walking across the grass… I knew it had to be our groom. I had never met Gabe and upon seeing him got so excited! He had a sweet smile and I could tell he was excited for the day ahead. There were so many beautiful moments that I want to highlight and point out while you scroll!

We met Sarah and Mike at a Bridal show 1 month before Covid hit. It’s crazy typing that out because I actually remember life before COVID. We could hug, stand 6 inches from someone in line for coffee. When Sarah and Mike emailed us that they would have to reschedule, we were so happy to know we were available for their 2021 date. As with all our couples who had to reschedule, we couldn’t even fathom the stress, heartache and disappointment that would come with postponement. Sarah was one of my brides that seemed even keel throughout the process. Even on her wedding day, she was relaxed, excited, and just looking forward to being with Mike, her family, and share the day with the guests who attended. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Marks church in Catonsville followed by a lovely reception at Overhills Mansion.

Sarah’s bouquets and florals may have been some of my favorites I’ve seen this year. I LOVED the variety of flowers, the colors and they paired so well with the dresses, and the feel and theme of the day.

We LOVE elopements and Eugenia and Kevin’s beautiful Gibson Island ceremony was definitely a perfect example of a lovely, detained and intimate one.

When we started the conversations of postponing Kevin and Eugenia’s April 2020 wedding to 2021, it was a no brainer. We all wanted a beautiful wedding complete with family and friends. Courts were closed, these lovebirds were out of state, and restrictions were in full force.

Fast forward to, these cuties decided to get married in 2021 and reschedule their big wedding celebration to 2022. We were so thrilled that they wanted us to come document the day.

Grace and Ben had a great session at the Rawlings Conservatory! With dogs in tow, we cruised all around the surrounding areas. Unfortunately we weren’t able to go in due to COVID restrictions but found treasure all around! After our time there, we decided to head down into Baltimore City and hit up the outside of the BMA! These two rocked their session and we couldn’t be more excited about their wedding coming up in August!

When I think of Maria and Shantanu, I have so so many amazing memories. Let’s start off with how we met Maria. It was our first time doing the Four Seasons bridal show, and we met Maria and really hit it off. Little did we know that she and Shantanu would hire us, I get an email from her wedding planner basically saying “you’re hired” and they want to get things moving. We were sooo excited. Probably me more than Patrick at first only because upon finding out that Shantanu was Indian, and I lived in India for a month, crave Indian food all the time, and even own a few Saris, I knew we were in for a beautiful wedding. We did their engagement photos in Baltimore and LOVED our time with them, so much that the 4 of us closed Little Havana and were there for 4-5 hours hanging out post their session. And then COVID hit in March of 2020 and they moved their big weddings to 2021 and 2022. They decided to have their ceremony at their favorite Baltimore brewery, which they asked us to come photograph and we were sooo glad they did!

Molly and Ryan’s wedding happened! As one of our rescheduled 2020 weddings (no thanks to COVID), we were sooo excited when they told us the wedding was on, pandemic or not. It used to be rain or shine… at this point, we would take anything. We shot their Colorado engagement session and knew regardless of what would come down the line, we would be in for a real treat with these lovebirds on their wedding day!

Their day was so fun! These two wanted to share a first touch, which is always so fun. Probably because they get to talk to each other and the suspense is there, anticipation so real.

I loved Molly’s color palette and inclusion of sentimental items. From generation wedding frames, to sweet parent gifts, there was intention throughout the day. It was special for us too because Molly’s brother is one of our past grooms! So being with their family again so so much fun!

Yah! I’m so excited to share this wedding today on the blog. I met Ashley via zoom thanks to her officiant Rachael. When Ashely and I started talking, I knew we would be a really good fit. I actually didn’t’ realize how perfect the fit would be until the day actually came.

Ashley and Nick had planned an elopement more than a mini wedding at the gazebo at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis Maryland. I loved it because it was simple and beautiful. The florals were done by the bride herself, they included their dog in the ceremony and photos, AND her dad and grandparents on her wedding day. Florals were actually wooden and paper and just gorgeous. Even the floral crown was assembled and designed by the bride… it looked incredible!
