We LOVE shooting weddings and engagement sessions for siblings of past couples! We met Katie and Mitch 2 years ago at Megan and Seth’s wedding! What an awesome and fun wedding that was! When Katie and Mitch got engaged, they told us we were one of their first decisions…we were so excited to be the ones that get to be alongside their wedding day!

Yah! This session finally happened! Haylie, Chris, Patrick and I had been anticipating this session for months, no joke! Originally their session would have been earlier this summer in June, but we all thought it wise to postpone it until we could have the session we all wanted for these two!

We spend our time together cruising the National Mall in DC, the place where these two met and fell in love. It was only fitting to go to all their favorite places, which were beautiful backdrops and scenary for their session. Their session would only be complete with their sweet pup Snoops! He did awesome. As Chris said, the session was A+ but Snoop got an F. lol. Not really, Snoop aka Dragon did awesome and we got what we could with all the amazing distractions that dogs love.

Yah! Congrats, you’re married! Caroline and Andrew were originally scheduled for a 2020 big wedding at the Pendry but decided to postpone their big day and still get married in 2020. They both got ready with family only at the Pendry and then headed to a Baltimore church where family and a small group of friends met them for a sweet ceremony. We were so excited to be able to be alongside them, even though their plans had changed and the day would look very different than originally planned. Caroline and Andrew, thank you for trusting us in the midst of crazy times and for still getting married and having us there to document it! We are so excited to be alongside you guys next year for part 2! It’s going to be awesome!

Nicole and Ray were a BLAST to work with. Their sense of humor is incredible… they had Patrick and I laughing our whole time together! They wanted photos in Towson due to it being a fav place of theirs and it’s where they spent their college years. We spent the first half of their session at the Historic Hampton Mansion and then went to Towson for the second half. They met in the Towers on campus, dorms side by side. Both were athletes at Towson, Baseball and Track/Field.

Guys, we loved your session! If you don’t already know, we love when pets are included in sessions. “Nike” their Great Dane/Lab mix was so sweet (Thanks Kelsey for helping out with Nike!).

Lindsay and Jay! Married! These lovebirds rescheduled their big 2020 wedding to 2021 yet still decided to have a wedding in the comfort of Lindsays parents home. Surrounded by close friends and family, these lovebirds were still able to have a great party with awesome food, florals and fun. Bunny and Buster stole the show as they are the beloved pets of Lindsay and Jay and her parents. It was totally fitting that they be part of family photos and newlywed portraits as well! Lindsay and Jay, we are soo excited to get to be alongside you guys next year and celebrate 2.0 with you! We wish you the best, enjoy Christmas together as husband and wife this year!

What a fun fun session. Complete with Champagne, a cute custom blanket, and smiles for days! Christy and Tom had an awesome session. I think most people show up nervous but these guys were ready, excited and super fun to work with. We loved getting to know them, to relearn their love story!

We found ourselves cruising all over the place and the variety these guys got is another reason I love great locations. The pier, the woods, the water, the sand… it’s all so pretty and these guys allowed us to get creative and try some new things too!

I love this wooded engagement session for so many reasons! Zach emailed us earlier in the week to let us know that he would be giving Melinda a present. These guys loves Harry Potter and wanted some photos with their wands and books. Little did Melinda know, Zach had cut out and glued the pages of a book and hid a present inside. So creative and so thoughtful! Melinda loved it!

Yah, this wedding!!! We are so excited to share this wedding probably because they were Patrick and mine FIRST wedding full day in the midst of COVID. I know, crazy. These two cuties are one of our Dallas couples and we are so pumped that they had a wedding that they wanted at two beautiful venues.

Kristina and Vincent pulled off the ultimate surprise! They convinced their family to come to Historic London Town and Gardens for some updated family photos and surprised them with a wedding!! They had a really sweet ceremony overlooking the water, complete with a broom-jumping ceremony, and their first dance! It was a great way to make-up for their Caribbean wedding that they were originally planning. Thank you both for having Living Radiant join in on your surprise!

This session is super special to me because Kellie is my COUSIN! I haven’t seen her in months, maybe even over a year, and it’s not too often that we see each other because we live in different states! But we had a family reunion a few months ago to celebrate our grandmothers life as she passed away earlier this year due to COVID and other health related things. Soon before our reunion, Kellie got engaged to Evan, a really sweet guy we were sooo excited to meet! Yah for more cousins (I only have 3 bios and now they all will be married!)

It was only fitting when we were together to take engagement pictures. It was also fitting because we happened to be spending the weekend all together at Britland Manor Estate for the reunion, which is also a wedding venue!
