This is another wedding that we were so excited to be a part of. Bridget and I are somehow related by marriage, but til this day, we still don’t know what we actually are. So second or third cousins is still the easiest way to put it!

Jeff and Bridget are the cutest pair. Bridget is a county bumpkin, horse loving beauty, and Jeff is a classy navy sailor. Most of their relationship was spent across seas from each other as Jeff has done two tours. We respect this man for serving our country. God Bless America. 
 

We have clients from all over the world, literally. Bridget and John currently live in Utah and are about to move to Georgia. Bridget’s home town is here in Baltimore and they felt it was fitting to get married at Hunt Valley Inn so family and friends could come celebrate these two.

When we met Bridget on Facetime on different time zones, we knew they would be a great fit for us. We loved them. Bridget and John have been together forever and were engaged for 3 years. These two are military folks and after 2 tours, they decided it was finally time to get hitched. We are so honored they chose us. We have a handful of military families and we are proud to have them. These guys have such sweet families and my personal favorite was their daughter Brooklyn. 

It’s not everyday that a potential client invites you to their home for your first meeting with them. Sam and Melissa live downtown in Baltimore in a super cute town home and it was there that is was “love at first site.” We just clicked with these two and especially were approved by their sweet dog Cloud. We left their home with dog kisses on my legs from under the table.

These two had a beautiful outdoor Belmont Manor wedding with a tent reception surrounded by many family and friends. With a sweet guest count of a little under 100, 2 ring dogs with floral leashes, and a 4 person total bridal party, this wedding was nothing short of intimate and personal.

It’s been almost a year since Patrick and I have been down to Alexandria. I have to say, I just think it’s one of the sweetest little towns in Virginia. When Claire and Billy hired us, we were thrilled, not just because they are cute, but we knew we’d have a lot of fun with them throughout their engagement and on their wedding day. Billy and Claire live in the cutest town home in Old Towne Alexandria, so it was perfectly fitting to cruise Alexandria and capture these two lovebirds and their little fur baby, Lainey. 

Jonathan and Maria had a gorgeous June wedding at the Historic Waverly Mansion in Marriottsville, MD. 

We were excited and honored to photograph this wedding because of the specialness of this wedding. Maria and Jonathan are living proof of redeemed love. The entire feel and theme of the wedding was restoration and love bigger than ourselves. 

Looking back at the day, there was something just so sweet about this Jesus-loving couple. He was the center of everything, from the ceremony, the music, the toast, etc. Our hearts were so open and happy to know that this couple also loves the Lord and that they too are another example of God’s best and second chances at love. 

Melissa and Chris had an elaborate and stunning Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel wedding in their beautiful Ballrooms over looking the Inner Harbor. We were so excited to photograph this wedding, mainly because we knew it was going to be something so amazing and special for the bride and groom.

We got to work alongside some amazing vendors like Victoria Clausen Floral Events and Classic Collective Djs, and of course, the Marriott Waterfront crew. What these folks do is beyond me… if only I could arrange colors and florals like Victoria or bring in custom food for 200+ people like these awesome hotels do. Totally not my forte, nor my calling haha.

I’m like a giddy little girl posting this wedding today. Our dear friends James and Lauren tied the knot and have a gorgeous Springfield Manor & Distillery Wedding in late May. 

We were anticipating this wedding for months, mainly because these two are close friends of ours… in fact Patrick has know James since they were 5 and 6 years old. Watching these two get married was so so special and we were elated to be such a huge part of their big day. 

There’s not one thing about this wedding that we didn’t like. The weather was the perfect mix of sunshine, overcast skies, and even some rain to end the night with an incredible night shot in the rain with umbrellas. The florals, the details, the escort cards, and not to mention…. Lauren’s dress!!!! It’s just incredible!

When we reminisce this wedding, there’s a few things that stand out to us! We love that Bobby’s best man was their DJ (he was great!), and the dessert bar were all these amazing treats and a beautiful cake. The other things I loved about this wedding was the toast the dad gave. “He is your Lighthouse, and She is yours. And the guests in this room at the rocks that are the stability and strength to fortify the lighthouse.” UGH… I almost started crying as I looked over at Patrick thinking… he’s my lighthouse, and then I looked at our bride and groom and they were emotional. I just love that. SO sweet and amazing.

Jessica and Kevin had a rainy wedding day, but the skies opened up just in time for their beautiful outdoor portraits. One thing I love about this couple is their genuine love and care for each other. You see it in their eyes and in their smiles. 

We hit it off right away with Mandy and Justin! These two are a perfect pair and we are so excited for their nautical wedding this October at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club! 

These cuties got engaged in Punta Cana on their fourth anniversary of dating! After spilling some coffee, Justin spilled his guts and told Mandy he wanted to marry her with a memory book of their relationship!
