I met Kaitlin shortly after her sister Megan hired us for her October 2017 wedding. You can view Megan and Charles’ wedding here! Kaitlin and Scott hired us to photograph their holiday pictures and later asked us to photograph their wedding. 

Most folks don’t know this, but for every venue we photograph at, we take site visits. Last fall, I was out at Belmont Manor doing a walk through for a client, and ran into our “friends” Lexi, owner of Events by Lexi, a wedding planner in Baltimore. Lexi happened to be there showing her client the venue. I met Kimmie and Shawn that day, not realizing that soon they’d be asking us to be their wedding photographers! We were honored when they asked us!

When your best friend has a 1 year old (almost) and asks you to do a cake smash, you do it. Not because you feel obligated, because you love that little girl to cake pieces! We had literally 10 minutes before a storm blew in, and Ella took her sweet time… not sure if it was “OK” to get so messy and eat the whole thing by herself!! Her sweet little eyes, smiles, and of course, her desire to share the whole time. Oh, and then she decides to climb you. Happy First Birthday Ella! Can’t believe you’re ONE!!

Last June we were photographing a beautiful downtown Marriott wedding and during the reception, we see this couple just rockin’ the dance floor. I remember telling Patrick, “oh my gosh, how fun are they!?” It was so obvious these two just loved being together and dancing together. 

Arriving at their wedding and seeing all the details and hearing all the stories shared in the speeches, Patrick and I knew Jenn was in amazing hands. These two LOVE the Lord, LOVE each other, and LOVE the great outdoors. I mean, you gotta love the outdoors and adventures to spend your honeymoon in Colorado hiking, camping, and exploring. How amazing! It was fitting considering Phil proposed on top of Pole’s Steeple in PA in January!

Billy and Claire both attended Virginia Tech and had over 100 mutual friends but had never met. It was outside of the college life that Claire and Billy first met. Claire had moved to DC, reconnected with friends, and met Billy at one of the hangouts. Things evolved as they became dates for each other to alumni events and parties, and the rest is history. 

When one of your couples LOVES history, why not do engagement session somewhere really historic! Keith and Stephanie met Patrick and I up at Fort McHenry on a beautiful spring day!! They had AWESOME weather and honestly it was supposed to rain. They must be good luck! 

Patrick and I had a blast with these two! They were adventurous and super trusting of our creativity and vision for the day. Megan had the perfect dress to get into the water and do some epic water shots, and Seth was just game! Not many guys would take off their shoes, roll up their suit and get in the water. SO thanks Seth for trusting us in that realm!

When an Aussie and an American get together, you know it’s gonna be super cute! Caitlin and Nate are getting married in just 3 weeks!! We are so excited to be photographing their wedding.

When we did their session last week, it was calling for down pouring rain. Thankfully the downpour held off as we ventured around Federal Hill in downtown Baltimore. We had an hour before the sun went down and I just have to say, these guys rocked their session! 

If I could describe these two in one word, I would say laughter. These two have so much fun together it’s not even funny… get it… haha. Corny I know. 

Katt and Nick are such sweeties. We won’t forget where we met Katt, because it was a bridal show and I think she may have stopped by our “living room” booth like 5+ times and I remember her saying “I just have to have you at my wedding.”
