I love this session for so many reasons! Kelly reached out to me first because she saw that we were familiar with Indian weddings and events. Little did she know that I spent a month in India, living with an Indian family and have photographed many Indian events from baby showers, weddings, and parties. She […]

Excited to share this proposal on the blog today! I met Jen in the fall when she was a bridesmaid in a wedding for Hannah and Chris! She was a gem. Drew, her boyfriend, reached out to me saying how much she loved their gallery and knew she would be ecstatic if I was the one photographing their proposal. I was so honored and of course I wouldn’t miss it! So I bundled up and they went to lunch which was followed by a walk along the Fells Point Promenade. Little did Jen know I was hiding in a gulley by the water (I’m sure by passers were wondering what I was doing), waiting for them to round the corner! Jen had NO idea she was getting engaged and watching her excitement was so much fun!

Jen and Drew, CONGRATS! We are sooo excited for you and thrilled for the adventures to come!

Yah! This post is fun for us to share as it’s not at all wedding related and totally personal. So if you’re interested in travel, adventure, and stories, keep reading, otherwise, stay tuned for our next beautiful couple in April!

Back in January, it dawned on Patrick and I that we would be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary in November, with a NEWBORN, and 2 rowdy little boys. Going away right after our busy season wouldn’t be feasible. We knew we should look into a babymoon/anniversary option and we were running out of time since so many airlines and cruiselines don’t let you said past a certain number of weeks pregnant. So we got right to it, started researching, reached out to our amazing travel agent Lisa, and started planning. We ended up booking a 7 day cruise to the ABC islands plus a couple more out of Puerto Rico! Warm weather, here we come! I have to share some back story… the last time Patrick and I cruised, was in March 2020 with carnival and we were one of the last ships to come back to the US as the pandemic was hitting. So we were pumped to get back on a ship 3 years later!

Mary and Josh’s Fells Point is live and on the blog today! This couple dominated their session, and considering we had never met in person, but these guys trusted us to throw them into locations and poses they had never done before was so much fun. I loved that in the first 5 minutes of meeting them, they shared that they aren’t big fans of photos and selfies and that they would be a challenge. We love a good challenge and I think you’ll find that they did too much better than they thought they would. And really cool cool fact… these lovebirds own a coffee shop in Baltimore called Vagrant coffee. We can’t wait to go and check it out but if you’re in Baltimore, don’t miss out… go see them! They are amazing people, great business owners and lovers of coffee! Thanks Josh and Mary, you guys are the best!

Our first wedding of the year is up on the blog! Angie and Steve were hoping for snow but as we all know, we haven’t gotten any this whole winter! That didn’t keep these two from having an incredible day alongside family and friends.

The morning was wonderful as Angie and Steve got ready and dressed alongside their closest friends. I love details! Steve had really neat R2-D2 cufflinks, and Angie had a beautiful custom ring box made. Angie shared some sweet moments with her mom as they spent time together getting ready. Three really great reveals happened soon after everyone was ready. Angie got to see her dad, her mom, and her brothers reactions to her fully ready to get married!

Yah! This is one of our favorite posts to share year to year! This is a BEHIND THE SCENES blog post showing all the behind the scenes of us, our team, our relationships with clients and the hilarious moments that happen throughout the year. You’ll find us with our couples, holding a cat, a dog, even a baby, a veil, pretending to cut cake while testing light… oh, and you may see my RBF while testing light too… but I promise I do love helping Patrick set lighting. You’ll see us standing in the rain, covered in food, organizing families and people. While we work really hard, we definitely try to have fun, get creative and at the end, cultivate memories that last forever. Enjoy!

What an incredible wedding. Up on the blog today is Jenna and Scotts Bohemia River Overlook wedding! They are a power couple… Down to earth, genuine, fun, and honestly they deserve each other. Just amazing people. It was bittersweet for us because they were our last wedding of our 2022 wedding season. Typing that doesn’t even put words to it because we had such an incredible year! 

Can we say champions!? Lauren and Luke met us in Baltimore City at the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower on one of the rainiest and darkest rain days we had all year. They were positive and happy and ready to go. We definitely ran late due to the weather but they were awesome and knew we’d make it up to them somehow. We knew we wouldn’t be outside much, so we made the most of the hour in the tower and took some rain photos outside! Although we all got wet, man do these two have some pretty sexy photos! We went to dinner at Little Havana afterwards and chowed down on breakfast food, hot tea, and some other good food. Lauren and Luke, you guys did awesome. Thanks for trusting us, for climbing steps, clock towers and letting us create some cool stuff for you. We are excited to spend more time with you in 2023 and can’t wait for your wedding! xo

Yah! This is such a fun session for us to post! Amol and Maria are one of our destination weddings next year! We are headed to Philly in 2023 for their wedding at the W and we are sooo pumped! They decided it only made sense to do a Philly based engagement session. They had a few locations in mind but they totally trusted us to cruise all around the city to get them some awesome variety. We ventured to their home, around the area, ended up at the famous Rocky stairs, around the museum and it’s surrounding gardens and wrapped up on the streets near their home. What I loved is that these guys were the first couple that we shared we were expecting in 2023 at dinner eating Tacos at one of their fav restaurants… which was so fitting since its one of my prego cravings! Baby Taco was announced to these lovebirds first and they were so excited for us. Amol and Maria… what a session you had. You trusted us, cruised around the city with us and we are so thankful for clients like you that empower us to do what we do best and what we love. So thank you! We can’t wait to party with you in 2023… it’s going to be amazing! xo

Yah! A Baltimore Engagement session that flew by but crushed by our couple. I’m not sure if I liked our session with them more than dinner, it’s pretty close! Julia and John did awesome at their session. We met them at Lake Roland and threw them into poses as we knew we were chasing daylight and only had an hour with them. By the time we finished, we were all were hungry and headed to Pepe’s for subs and to get to know each other. Let’s just say, we have SOO much history we didn’t even know. Turns out John knows a ton of people that Maggie knows and Patrick and Julia were champions as John shared his life with us and as we figured out all our connections. By the time we finished dinner, we knew it was meant to be and Julia and John were the perfect couple for us! You guys did awesome and we can’t wait to spend a whole day together and not just 2-3 hours. We can’t wait for your day, it’s going to be so fun!
