For those of you who know Patrick and I, we limit our fights to 1 a wedding. We are both stubborn, both passionate and opinionated… me more than him. It’s because we care so much about our couples and their day and we both want to ensure we get soooo much goodness from the day! This day was epic. Amazing couple and amazing bridal party, amazing overall Baltimore goodness.

We’ve been friends with these guys for over a year and a half as they hired us pretty soon after getting engaged. Which is so crazy when wedding day actually came about beause we felt like we just were part of the event and their crew which made our job so smooth with Jenn and James and their whole family and day.

We got this really cool inquiry from a company called Pawfect For You wanting to do a media swap about our companies! When we got to know them a little more, and looked at what they do, we said absolutely! Let’s make it happen!

We’ve known Aubrie and her family for over 10 years which I think is nuts! When we get to photograph friends weddings, they end up being so amazing and more special than I realized. When we shot their destination beach engagement session, we couldn’t wait for their wedding to come! I definitely cried twice or more at this wedding.

Aubrie is the only daughter of our friends Brian and Rana. Watching Brian see his daughter fully dressed in her wedding gown will be engraved in my mind for a long time. Again this same look as he watched his daughter dance with her husband for the first time at reception.

Your day started out amazing with incredible friends alongside you, 3 amazing men of honor, a tribe of babes next to them, and a group of men that loved to dance alongside Brent. Everything about your wedding was totally you and Brent. From a cookie cake with ballet slipper and Sneaker (you two and your shoes…. Well mainly Brent). Your dance team coming to support you, your dad giving one of the best speeches we’ve heard (made me cry) and watching you beam through sun and shade, was probably my most favorite. Oh an when you told me you were getting hot and my reply was “Ok, Great.” Jenn you know me so well. I wanted your photos to be incredible. I’m partial to you Jenn, I love you so much, I’m so happy for you and Brent, and can’t wait to see you guys again. Please come play and hang out and just be. Like you said in your text message and letter to me… our babies will play together as we laugh and enjoy the days to come.

The memories I have from this wedding are too many to count. From amazing speeches, to the laughter of girls in the hotel, to parent dances that were very very sweet, Kelsey and Chad had the definition of perfectly sweet wedding day.

When we finish a session and it didn’t feel like work, you know you found a dream couple. Stephanie and Trevor nailed their session. I know part of the ease comes from the fact that we’ve known these guys for a long time. Like over 15 years!!

We’ve known Kelly’s family for what seems like forever. Honestly, the fact that I have photographed weddings for friends that I’ve grown up with is pretty amazing. I’m actually honored and it’s sooo special.

When Kelly reached out to us about shooting her wedding, I was so excited. When we met Mike and did their engagement session, I knew their wedding would be so sweet and fun. Fun was an understatement.

When we arrived at the bridge, I see this cowboy. Plaid shirt and a beaver pelt hat. I knew it was our groom. Kaitlin and Justin are so sweet and so special to us. They love the outdoors, they are totally country, and they aren’t ashamed of it at all. In fact, our groom is a legit rodeo guy, and he loves trucks.

These two had such a killer session.. Wait until you see the sunset and the skies that opened up for these two. Talk about adventure. We all really didn’t know where our session would take us. Kaitlin had reached out to a few places for engagement session locations and just didn’t have any luck. So we decided to propose adventure and they said yes. We met them at the Union Road Red Covered Bridge in Frederick and stayed local. We went to a park close by and literally drove around and found beautiful spots.

It’s always special for us when we get to photograph weddings of sisters and siblings. We met Melissa when we photographed her sisters wedding in 2017. The family is incredible and honestly one of our favorites in the history of our career. Their sweetness, their grace, and their kindness is literally unfathomable.
