the blog

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

I loved this sweet engagement session for Lauren and Brett at Loch Raven Reservoir! One of their very first dates was to the duck island here, so it was so fitting to come back and shoot their engagement photos here. We had the perfect fall afternoon for their session – it was a little chilly, but the color in the leaves was so vibrant it made for a beautiful backdrop for their photos. I loved seeing Lauren’s playful side as she chased ducks around, and we ended their session with the two of them slow dancing by the water while the sun went down. So beautiful! I also loved her ring – it was gorgeous and so unique.

There’s a beautiful wedding up on the blog today! We met Chelsea and Josh at a wedding expo. A few months after that, we drove down to meet them at Skyline Drive for their destination engagement session. We cruised all over to get epic photos for them. Our time with them with special as we knew we were in for a great wedding day with them. Josh and Chelsea’s got married at the Hunt Valley Country Club wedding in Timonium on an October day that was forecasted to rain but we totally lucked out! It was beautiful and overcast… my favorite lighting!

Yah! This awesome October wedding is up on the blog today! And we couldn’t be more excited to share it! Hannah and Chris had a beautiful Hayfields country club wedding, a sister club to Turf Valley resort, with a stunning pond, spacious grounds and main club house. During the pandemic the club did renovations so the ballroom looked very different from when I was last there in 2014 photographing florals for Victoria Clausen.

As many of you know, sibling weddings are some of my favorite weddings to photograph. I met Stephanie at her sister’s wedding, where Ashley and Joe got married at Army Navy Country Club. Stephanie was her maid of honor. That wedding was beautiful and you can see it here. Stephanie and Rick’s wedding was totally different though from her sisters wedding which I thought was so neat. I absolutely loved that Stephanie, as a expert in charcuterie, boards and cheese and wine, picked a winery as her venue. It was very fitting for her to get married to Rick in wine country. Steph and Rick got married in beautiful Leesburg at Stone Tower Winery. 

Yah! Hannah and Nick are married and we are so excited we got to be alongside them! When Hannah and Nick hired us, they had 2 requests… a photographer that knew BMI and a photographer that could do a really cool night shot that involved lots of champagne spray. We knew we were perfect for the job!

The whole day was wonderful and fun! Hannah and Nick both got ready at Hotel Monaco surrounded by their wedding parties. I LOVED that Hannah did a first look with Nick on the gorgeous staircases at the hotel. Everyone was on time and we headed to Fort McHenry for some photos on the green and water. Soon after, we headed to BMI to photograph all their immediate family segments, followed by some time for them to hang out before walking down the aisle!

Up on the blog today is Josh and Johnnas beautiful October Turf Valley Wedding! We are so excited to share this wedding for sooo many reasons! First off, Johnna’s family, parents and aunts and uncles are owners of Turf Valley. I jokingly say they all own Howard County… and they are some of the most incredible people. But beyond that, Johnna’s sister Nicole is one of my best friends in the industry and I’m so thankful for her friendship. When Nicole shared with me that her sister was engaged, I was sooo excited! I secretly hoped they would hire us, so when Josh and Johnna reached out, I was ecstatic! I love their families more than they know. A funny story before we dive in… back in 2014 when we went full-time as wedding photographers Turf Valley was on my bucket list of venues. I remember thinking… man, the day we photograph a wedding at Turf Valley, I will feel like I hit the lottery. The relationship we’ve cultivated in the last 10 years has brought great friendships, even with their catering staff and managers I feel like we can really create magic there and have the trust of the staff.

Our first wedding of October is live!! Margot and Ian, we are so excited to share this with you and for you to share it with those you love and care about! This wedding for us was so neat. There were so many aspects of this day that just made it fun, personal, and of course, totally Baltimore! Let’s just start out with the fact that the entire day was spent waterfront. Margot and Ian got ready alongside family and wedding party at the Ritz Carlton condos in Fells Point in private rooms.
