Every time we take a trip, we try to meet or find a cute couple that would be willing to allow us to take photos of them for portfolio in exchange for giving them amazing photos to remember! We met Kristen and Josh on the spa tour the very first day of our cruise, actually we were still at port and walking through the ship to get to know the layout, what it had to offer and see if there were any specials going on. We talked just for a bit, found out they were engaged after talking about being wedding photographers and the stresses of our bodies to the spa lady haha. Anyway, we ran into them again a couple more times and decided to ask them if they were up for it sometime during the 7 days of being on the ship together. We ended up doing an excursion with them too which was really awesome. Sure enough, they said yes doing the session and we proposed Cozumel.

Baltimore is such a small place yet so big. Steph and Nate found us because Patrick saw that Nate had gotten engaged via Facebook and if I’m correct, Nate was looking for wedding vendors and Patrick reached out. Nate and Patrick went to Calvert Hall together and hadn’t seen each other in years. We met his gorgeous fiance Stephanie at our house for a consult and obviously talked about engagement session and they mentioned that they wanted to do some in Florida. We didn’t think that it was going to be an option because of timing but then Patrick had this awesome idea. At our consult, we told them we would be going on a cruise. Patrick asked, “well when will you be there next.” We all were in disbelief when we discovered that we all would be in Florida at the same time so we worked out the logistics and made it happen.

Laura and Nick were an extremely sweet couple and their family was just as warm and inviting. Although I arrived a bit early for their elopement they wanted to get started right away and even walked down the aisle before the justice of the peace was even in the room! It was awesome. Even though they were eloping, Laura wanted to keep with the tradition of Nick not seeing her until she walked down the aisle so it made sense how they were so eager to do so. Their closest family members were all squeezed into the intimate room, but it was so magical and sweet! In classic elopement style, they were married quickly, but celebrated after for much longer!

I’m so excited to share this session today! This was our last Baltimore engagement session before all this craziness happened with COVID and stay at home orders. It was days before we left for our cruise and I actually think like the day or 2 before these cuties drove south to Florida to move into their new home!

Woot Woot! What an awesome day! You know, when most people think about getting married in February, they are worried about snow, blizzards, being too cold, having to be outside for photos, and lack of daylight. But let me tell you, with this couple and this wedding day, those things weren’t even on the agenda. The day was beautiful, we all planned ahead. It definitely was cold, but since it wasn’t snowing or raining, Emily and Greg were absolutely amazing and trusted us to rock and roll and get them killer photos despite the cold cold winds. Their families, wedding party and guests were a blast and honestly, we still are so pumped that the day went as smooth as it did!

Bridget and Jake had a great Fells Point sunrise engagement session. They battled through a really cold session! We took a break and got coffee and hot chocolate right before an outfit change! Getting to know these guys and watching them be sweet and giggle while all our of hands were soo cold… it was just the best. We are pretty excited to be shooting their 2020 wedding later this year!

We are excited to share this engagement session 1) because it’s beautiful and 2) because it’s a shout out to one of our amazing couples who have had to reschedule their wedding because of the pandemic. Last weekend these two would have been married and had the most killer party of all time on Gibson Island. We were SOO pumped to shoot their wedding and honestly, now that we have to wait a whole year, it’s only going to build the excitement and anticipation of their day. Sharing this today hopefully will give you an awesome perspective on these two… they are fun, sweet, loyal, and totally in love. Most of the time we meet couples face to face for the first time in our home. We literally met these guys in the kitchen at Kevin’s parents home after meeting his mom first. Talk about giving a good impression… I’m always so much better in my own zone at first, but the hospitality, sweetness, and kindness of Kevin’s parents set us at ease and soon after meeting our couple, we were like… this is gonna be awesome.

Our first engagement of the 2020 year has happened and we are sooo glad it was Shannon and Rob! I jokingly said, “we’re a little rusty” because it had been 3 days since our last wedding of 2019. We all laughed. 

Shannon and Rob are the cutest! They really didn’t have a set location they wanted to shoot at so we proposed a few ideas and we ended up heading into Baltimore the first week of January into Harbor East to rock their session all around the Inner Harbor. We cruised and covered so much land in a short amount of time. Shannon’s outfit was soo cute (LOVED the black dress) and the weather was supposed to rain so the overcast skies allowed for some beautiful backdrops and lighting. 

Shannon and Rob, you guys crushed it… AND even though you tota

We can’t believe it’s New Years Eve. We will be leaving in just a few hours to shoot our last wedding of 2019, in Annapolis on a boat, bringing in the New Year!

In 2019 we shot 42 weddings, 29 engagement sessions, 41 family sessions, 5 maternity sessions, and 8 newborn sessions. I still can’t believe this is our amazing life and we are so grateful and appreciative to all our family, friends, and clients for empowering us to do what we love! I haven’t always done behind the scenes posts just because of time and soaking up the Holidays with family, but I wanted to this year to see that at the end of the day, we are very normal, we love our couples, and we have a lot of fun doing what we love to do.

Happy New Year and Cheers to another amazing year!

What a way to end the year! We finished 2019 on a beautiful yacht with a couple who we met in 2018 at a wedding. I love how stories tie together. Deborah is the mom of one of our 2018 brides so being able to photograph her wedding after her daughters was really special.
