This December wedding you’re gonna LOVE! We met Allison and James through one of our past couples… actually a lot of our past couples. There’s this whole group of friends that went to Stevenson together and met because of a slip of paper under a dorm room door. We knew this wedding would be so fun due to the fact that we just got to see these guys in another wedding (LINK TO KORINNA) we shot earlier in the year. 

The day was amazing. It could have been REALLY cold and it wasn’t as bad as everyone thought. The fact that first look, all portraits, bridal party and family were outside for photos is amazing. And the backdrop at Thousand Acre Farms is absolutely beautiful. 

Let’s just say that RAIN made this day incredible. We knew the day would be a bit of a challenge with the weather, but upon walking in to meet Page and Jason, these two could have cared less about the weather. Page got ready surrounded by friends and Jason surrounded by close friends and his two sons.

How fun was this day! What a way to step out of your comfort zone… for all of us! Gloria and Roger opted for a really unique engagement session in DC at the National Gallery of Art! It was a rainy day, so we had crowds to compete with, but they were both super flexible and were go gracious as we mazed through the museum! I loved how creative this session became and how much fun we had exploring. I can’t remember the last time I was at this museum, it’s definitely been over 10 years! These cuties are a lot of fun, I met them first at Lina and Jake’s wedding in March of 2019. I can’t wait for their wedding this September!!

I’m always amazed at how connections are made and how clients find us. Months ago I got an inquiry from a new business in town that needed a photographer for their ribbon cutting and business launch. They found us through a wedding venue coordinator we work with often. I shot that event, met a lot of people and got to celebrate in incredible business. On that day I met Scott, having no idea he was engaged OR that he would soon be in need of a photographer for his stateside wedding. 

Mandy and Chris just moved back from Annapolis to Baltimore! Welcome home! We did a cute homecoming engagement session downtown Baltimore and got some of my new favorite shots! We went to Locust Point, Fort McHenry, Under Armour, the American Visionary Art Museum, and Fed Hill! Take a note from these two and be flexible and you’ll end up with gorgeous photos! 

Super excited to share this wedding with you all as I’ve been cheering Erin and Frank on since I met them almost 3 years ago in July when they took a cute picture on IG in front of our 4th of July parade float and tagged us in it! We are sooo bummed we can’t join them in Mexico for their destination wedding, but when these lovebirds asked me to shoot their stateside wedding, I of course said Yes. These two are champions (well literally too cause they are fitness models and win all the time at their competitions) but beyond that, they are sweet, amazing, sooo kind and totally in love. Like the kind dreams are made of! Erin and Frank, Patrick and I are sooo excited for what’s ahead for you. We think the world of you and can’t wait to see what unfolds for you. And you know I’ll be stalking your Mexico wedding so be sure to have someone IG’ing all the behind the scenes of your incredible day! xo

Super excited to share this November wedding with you! Melissa and Kevin first off are probably some of the most easy going clients we’ve had all year, and that says a lot because most of our couples are that way. But these guys, holy moly. I’ll give you lots of examples. First example… their engagement. Seriously one of the coldest days of 2019, and it was a sunrise cherry blossom session… they smiled the whole time, while melissa couldn’t feel her toes, her hands, her smile, anything. But her laughter is contagious, allowing the rest of us to just have so much fun. 

A black bridal jacket, gorgeous flowers, and a rockin’ band, this wedding was so so good. Marisa and Kris had such a cool wedding. We were really excited to photograph at the Winslow, a newer wedding venue in Baltimore City. Earlier this year, we drove up to Long Island New York for their engagement session. It included a classic club car and lots of laughter and adventure! We couldn’t believe how fast their wedding came up on us. We felt like we had just driven to New York when we shot their wedding.

I always tell people “Anyone can go to the top of Federal Hill, it’s free!” But here’s the thing… when it’s your home or your backyard, heck ya, you shoot there! 

Krissy and DJ found us online, maybe google, maybe IG, but there’s one thing that’s for sure, when we met these guys, there was no denying this would be such a great match. When we meet with couples we try really hard not to make it like an interview, because it’s awkward for all of us… just like the start of all our engagement sessions. 

Every wedding has moments for me that say engrained in my head. The things that stick out the most for me for their wedding include a really amazing mother father and daughter reveal as well as Carly’s first dance with her dad as a married woman. Although Josh is a reserved groom he is so kind and so sweet. One of my favorite segments of the day was photographing Carlee and Josh with Patrick out in the field at sunset. Sunset was creeping up in the sky opened up for them with gorgeous colors. We are thankful that Josh and Carlee trusted us to steal them from reception to take them out into the middle of the field. They told us they wouldn’t have it any other way and all they cared about was gorgeous photos and time together. What a combo. The whole day was fun. The girls drove over in an RV motorhome that belongs to her Uncle. It was so cold and Carlee was so accommodating… We were outside so much of the day because the weather was beautiful, just chilly. As I tell all of our couples cold is still great weather. What I loved most about Carlee’s day is how much she trusted us to document a day full of moments and of people and family.
