We are so excited to share the wedding of the newly married Travis and Ashley Holmes!

Not only did they get married at one of Maggie’s sentimental locations (The McDonogh School), but they also had a stunning weather day, amazing bridal party, and details galore! The Belevedere Hotel was their reception venue. Wait until you see this amazing venue!

Maggie met Travis when they started teaching at McDonogh almost 5 years ago. They were both first year teachers and they both were single at the time. Almost a year ago, we got an email from an Ashley Miller, and a Travis Holmes. Maggie was ectatic, because she knew that Travis Holmes had to be the same guy she taught with right out of college. Ashley and Travis have become dear friends of ours and we loved celebrating the day with them!

Rain can’t keep us for doing an engagement shoot… and you would never believe this was 5 minutes after torrential downpours!

Heather and Tyler were determined to have this day be their e-session, we were brought umbrellas and flipflops, and said “let’s do this!” We originally wanted to photography downtown at the Inner Harbor, but then opted for a location with beautiful overhangings and porticos. So, I knew I could count on my Alma Mater, Bryn Mawr… a beautiful private girls school in Roland Park (well I did get in trouble by security because I didn’t call ahead… opps… but they were gracious as I was an alum). But anyway… you will love this session… with a little rain, some water, and a beautiful couple!

One of our favorite moments of our time with them was when Tyler grabbed Heather and started dancing with her barefoot! We just loved how cute the two of them were together. Oh and the swings… that was so cute too! Take a scroll and enjoy!

When we met Katelynn at a bridal show, she had an entourage of amazing people rallying her and supporting her engagement to Chris. We hadn’t met Chris. But when we met Chris, everything clicked. These two lovebirds aren’t just cute, they are funny, have a great sense of humor, and we feel like we’ve known them for years! We decided with them that it would be best to do their e-session where they felt like them. So we opted for their apartment complex in Canton, which is OH so beautiful! Here’s some of our favorites from the day! We can’t wait to photograph their wedding day!

Eva and Dave are one of our couples that thought at first they would be so awkward in front of the camera. Let me just say, these guys rocked their e-session!! This darling couple wanted to include some significant places in their e-session.

So there’s this super cute girl named Crystal engaged to this really tall sweet guy named Mike. And they are getting hitched! Crystal and Mike are so so cute and photographing them was a blast. Crystal is a mom of 2 and Mike is a champion, taking on the role of dad now, and on their wedding day. We are so excited for these two! We loved the spot where we photographed them and golden hour was totally in our favor!! Enjoy this e-session!

Thanks to one of our amazing brides, we found the beautiful Sarah Becker! It is crazy how worlds collide because Sarah used to work at a great organization called HopeSprings, which was a client of the branding agency that Maggie used to work at prior to going full-time as a wedding photographer.

Sarah is a perfect fit for our company and it is amazing how God totally aligns people and timing. Sarah, we are honored to have you on board!

Megan and Kevin are what we like to call our Tiny & Tall couples. Megan is a cute 4’11” and Kevin is 6’2″…. I absolutely loved our time with these guys, and loved posing them.

Patrick and I had not yet visited St. Michael’s but loved our time with this couple. St. Michaels is darling, and if you have never been, take a day, and come wander. It’s quite beautiful! Oh and if you’re a bride looking for a venue.. check out the Inn at Perry Cabin!! Looks stunning!

No one would believe us if we told them we got to ride in a helicopter at an engagement session… but we did, even if it was less than 10 seconds. Kasey and Steve had the most suspenseful e-session you could imagine (well, that we’ve had at least!). Story to come…

Patrick and I left Baltimore on an afternoon before rush hour to head up to Atlantic City, New Jersey for a beach engagement session. Kasey and Steve have sentimental ties to a cute beach called Brigantine, NJ just north of Atlantic City (you can see Atlantic City from where we were). Steve grew up there in the summer growing up and his parents have a home there. We had the honor of meeting them and let me tell you… Kasey is getting a stellar mother-in-law! The weather behaved so well and our couple did fabulous!

Ekkk! We are so so excited to share this blog post!! Lauren and James are beautiful friends of ours and are getting married next May! Patrick and James have known each other since they were five, running around the neighborhood, getting hurt, making mischief and jingling all the way.

Lauren and James love downtown Annapolis so we flt it fitting to do their engagement session at the Naval Academy and down on the water in downtown Annapolis.  Between James’ sense of humor and Lauren’s sweet personality, these two are darling!

I decided that Google would be my friend one day and I decided to hunt for some new locations for some of our engagement sessions. When planning Melissa and Chris’ e-session I asked them if they would be up for trying a garden I hadn’t been to. They were and so we met up at these gardens… and let me tell you… WOW! This garden was stunning. Roses galore and beautiful scenery! Wait until you see the colors surrounding this beautiful couple! Melissa and Chris… you guys did amazing! Can’t wait for our double date in the next couple of weeks!
