This is why we have the clients we have. We are picky. We chose couples who fit us as we fit them. We have amazing couples, with sweet stories, unique and full of adventure and romance.

Holley and Ray are personable, hilarious, and laid back. They love life and they love each other. We met them up at Rocks State Park for their engagement session.

I just can’t stand it any longer! Josh and Nichele are not just clients but they are dear friends of ours. We are so honored to be their wedding photographers. I really wish I met Nichele like YEARS ago! She’s a babe. I’ve known Josh pretty much since he was like a little kid… oh wait, I was a little kid too!! Josh and his family moved to Baltimore when I was in middle school… so I’ve known him over half of my life. I have the honor of knowing Nichele because of Josh now. Nichele has become a dear friend to me (ever since we moved to Ellicott City and I feel like my social life is my phone and computer, but really haha). Patrick and I really value and appreciate their friendship.

This story for us started in a starbucks, where we met them, and said “they would be a great fit for us!”. Mario and Allison, we are thrilled to be your wedding photographers, but more than that, our newest friends. 🙂

Allison and Mario wanted their engagement session to be in Alexandria, VA.

We are so excited to share this wedding as the bride is one of my dear friends, bridesmaids, and a beauty. I’ve been rooting for Sarah and Chris for years and they finally tied the knot at a beautiful vineyard in Belleville, PA! Patrick and I love photographing love stories, especially the kind that are rooted in time and history.

This wedding makes me smile with each time I look at it. Love ya Sarah. So thankful I not only got to photograph your wedding and marriage to Chris, but I got to witness an awesome chapter of your beautiful and romantic novel.

On a warm and beautiful day in Westminster, MD, Shannon and Bill invited their closest family and friends to celebrate their wedding, a day full of love, moonshine, and vows. Unions Mills Homestead was a perfect place to demonstrate their love in front of a cloud of witnesses. Shannon and Bill’s love is beautiful. They have two precious beautiful children, the result of head-over-heels love for one another. Their goal: to have a ball and dance the night away. They wanted to share these memories with their loved ones and everyone they cherish and hold dear. Watching Shannon and Bill throughout the wedding day made me smile… even when we were driving home that night. 

This is a little over due, but we didn’t want to forget our sweet Lara and her man Brent, the volleyball coaches at Stevenson University who are getting hitched next year!! We did their engagement pics, and they invited us to come photograph their engagement party!

Last weekend, my cousin Krissy got married in Richmond Virginia. What a beautiful weekend away and what a fabulous reason for a road trip! She was an absolutely stunning bride.

Krissy invited me to her bridesmaids luncheon at The Blue Goat, a Neo-southern comfort food restaurant, sourced locally when possible. (They have the BEST TOT-CHOs – spicy tater-tots I’ve ever had, hoping to try to replicate in my own kitchen hehe).

Grace is a stunning senior, graduating this coming June from high school. Our session was full of beauty, radiant, and sunshine. I’ve known Grace for a couple years, and is friends with my younger brother, Sam.

People want Freedom. Life. Hope. Love. You don’t realize how much you need any of these until  you don’t have it or them anymore. 111 days ago, Patrick, Lydia, my mother-in-law, and I found a tiny little duckling in a parking garage, lonely, by itself, without family. We knew it had two options, live or […]

Lee and Bridgette are the cutest! I met Bridgette this past July at the Brides Against Breast Cancer Expo. She too is a newly wed (like Patrick and I are) and her husband Lee and her decided to do an Anniversary session at the place they got married, Stone Manor Country Club.
