We are thrilled to share this wedding as it was one of our first weddings in September, but the last of our first triple-header ever. The newly married Mr. and Mrs. Christina and Eric Irvin got hitched on September 6th at the Annapolis Marriott, with a gorgeous sea of boats behind them. 

Brian and Jordan were referred to us through another client and we were so glad to meet them! Celebrating their anniversary and the upcoming birth of their new addition! A first for the couple, they wanted to commemorate the very special occasion and we were so glad to help them do just that!

Congrats to Tiffany and Justin! These two were part of our first triple-header weekend, and we were so glad that they were a part of it!

We joined them on their parents farms for their engagement session last September, complete with horses, cows, and romantic corn stalks. There was no question that this beautiful couple would make the most of their outdoor barn-themed mint wedding! 

Josh and Christina had a glorious lighting day for their Ocean City Engagement Session. We weren’t sure if the rain would hold back and it totally did…  because these two were convinced it was going to be a beautiful day!

I believe I went to one of the greatest Universities on the planet. I graduated in 2009 from ORU (Oral Roberts University), so I’m a proud Alumnae. My closest friends came from there, and although we are spread across the world (literally), these friends mean the world to me.

Jillian and Chris got married in early September, and we couldn’t be more excited for them! Our first real hangout with these two was during their engagement session, with their precious pup Camden. Camden was a puppy and active and sweet. We loved their e-session!

Someone recently asked us “Are you really like best friends with your brides?” and the answer is “of course!” I am a HUGE advocate of hiring folks that you have natural affinity for. Our Radiant Brides are women that I relate to, resonate with, can laugh with, encourage, and have a friendship with. Melissa is one of these women. When Patrick and I first met Sam and Melissa, they invited us to their house. I felt SO honored to be invited into their home, as most our meetings are in public places, in coffee shops and restaurant (in the coming years we will have a home where we can host ourselves!) As we walked them through packages as we do with all couples, we felt like we were friends hanging out, answering questions, and petting their dog Cloud as he rubbed against our legs at the table.

Summer is almost over, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t go to the beach! A few weeks ago, we ventured down to the Ocean City Boardwalk and met up with Brittany and Steve for their boardwalk inspired session, with some champagne added to it!

Earlier this year, we got an email from N inquiring to photograph a beautiful stateside Indian wedding reception for a super sweet couple. It was super fun and we met some amazing people. N was our contact and since then has become a friend. She and her fiance P are now engaged and are getting married in India the week before Christmas!! How amazing! We were so excited to be have photographed their engagement session at Brookside Gardens in Silver Spring, MD! And look at her amazing Sari! Having been to India, I just loved the culture behind this couple and I think it’s time for me to bust out my Sari’s!

When we first met Holley and Ray, we loved the fact that Ray is a Fireman and Holley is a nurse. What a dynamic Duo! When we did their engagement session in the fall and spent more time with them, we really knew the four of us would have a blast on their wedding day and throughout the rest of the process.

In the beautiful historic town of Gettysburg, Holley and Ray tied the knot at the Historic Round Barn and said “I Do” up on top the hill of the beautiful apple orchards that overlook the barn.

Holley & Ray, we wish you guys the best! Congrats on a beautiful wedding day! Be sure to text us the next time you’re in Ellicott City! We’d love to give you both a squeeze!
