We launched Beloved Weddings in 2020 as a solution to couples still wanting to get married during a pandemic without quality suffering. When Caitlin reached out, I was so excited because this would truly be a beloved and intimate wedding. Caitlin and David got married at the beautiful and eclectic Gramercy Mansion in the presence of family. We spent time in the gardens and around property getting beautiful moments of their love prior to the ceremony.

Shortly after, these two said I Do in the atrium. We were there to take family photos and document a once in a life time event, and for these two, it was evident that they are for each other. Caitlin and David, thanks for trusting me and allowing me to be part of such a wonderful wedding. We wish you all the best!

Yah! Excited to share this wedding with you all. Kelli and Jim hired us for their Beloved wedding, which for us is a mini wedding under a few hours. We were thrilled when they asked us to shoot their wedding. We knew their focus was their families and dearest friends. They especially were excited about their vineyard wedding and all the details they put into their day. Kelli got ready with her close girlfriends and daughter and her mom. I loved that she shared a first look with her son upon arrival to the venue. When it came time to the ceremony, watching Jim see Kelli for the first time was soo sweet. The had an honoring ceremony, and they said I do surrounded by family and friends and vineyards. Everything about their day was intentional. One of my favorite details of the day was this DIYd pallet that had photos of them from adventures and with family. They also had a beautiful cake and great food thanks to Eleven Courses!

We LOVE elopements and Eugenia and Kevin’s beautiful Gibson Island ceremony was definitely a perfect example of a lovely, detained and intimate one.

When we started the conversations of postponing Kevin and Eugenia’s April 2020 wedding to 2021, it was a no brainer. We all wanted a beautiful wedding complete with family and friends. Courts were closed, these lovebirds were out of state, and restrictions were in full force.

Fast forward to, these cuties decided to get married in 2021 and reschedule their big wedding celebration to 2022. We were so thrilled that they wanted us to come document the day.

When I think of Maria and Shantanu, I have so so many amazing memories. Let’s start off with how we met Maria. It was our first time doing the Four Seasons bridal show, and we met Maria and really hit it off. Little did we know that she and Shantanu would hire us, I get an email from her wedding planner basically saying “you’re hired” and they want to get things moving. We were sooo excited. Probably me more than Patrick at first only because upon finding out that Shantanu was Indian, and I lived in India for a month, crave Indian food all the time, and even own a few Saris, I knew we were in for a beautiful wedding. We did their engagement photos in Baltimore and LOVED our time with them, so much that the 4 of us closed Little Havana and were there for 4-5 hours hanging out post their session. And then COVID hit in March of 2020 and they moved their big weddings to 2021 and 2022. They decided to have their ceremony at their favorite Baltimore brewery, which they asked us to come photograph and we were sooo glad they did!

I can basically say that this was officially our third wedding of 2020. It’s amazing to me how many weddings have had to reschedule due to government restrictions and the pandemic.

Hannah and Mart were supposed to be one of our June weddings and unfortunately had to reschedule for 2021. Over the course of a couple weeks Patrick and I decided it would be beneficial to our couples to have a really amazing opportunity to still get married an offer many wedding packages.

Hannah and Mark reached out immediately and asked us to be part of a mini wedding with their closest family that was local.

I was absolutely thrilled to be available and desired to be part of their wedding day. To be totally honest I was super nervous. Not because of our couple but because of restrictions and limitations and things that way I thought may affect my shooting style and interaction with clients. Thankfully Mark and Hannah were incredible and upon my arrival greeted me like old friends.

We got this really cool inquiry from a company called Pawfect For You wanting to do a media swap about our companies! When we got to know them a little more, and looked at what they do, we said absolutely! Let’s make it happen!

We have had such an amazing time recently getting ready for summer! So many hours to be spent outdoors having cookouts, engagement sessions, and just being with friends—human friends and furry friends alike! 

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. 

We are kicking off our work week with a beautiful engagement session with Jillian and Chris. Jillian and Chris are one of our Radiant Couples, and one of the sweetest Baltimore couples we know. We are in love with this session at Patterson Park at the Inner Harbor, in Baltimore Maryland. We got to spend time with this couple and their sweet Border Collie, Camden (of course named after our beloved Orioles Baseball Stadium, Camden Yards).  Jillian and Chris, you guys were amazing! Maggie and I had a blast with you guys!

When you think of pearls, you think expensive, you think jewelry, maybe the ocean, oysters, classy women, or many think of wedding days and brides. I don’t think babies came to your mind but even babies love and look great in pearls.

Babies are the sweetest thing. But so are those moments when you stop doing “routine” and do something out of the blue, something that you love that you haven’t done in a while.
