I’m pretty excited to share this gallery with the world today! Lindsay and Jay are one of our 2020 Covid couples who did not only reschedule their big wedding but also had a wedding with family and friends in the summer of 2020. I had the honor of meeting Karen and her daughter Lindsay and fiance Jay last summer when I went and did photos for them at their home. We knew we were in for a good time with this family.

The day started and ended at the beautiful Rosewood Farms in Elkton Maryland. We’ve had the honor and privilege of shooting at this venue multiple times and it’s definitely worth the trip every single time. The staff is always incredible and I think the feelings are mutual how much we like them and they like us.

Lindsay and Jay got ready surrounded by a beautiful group of bridal party members. I especially loved it they included their dog Bunny on their wedding day both in newlywed pictures and in her own little segment. Their bridal party was super fun and ready to party. The day flew by for us. Some of our favorite details and moments are the day are the sweet surprises from the brides parents. A champagne cart and a hotdog late night snack cart.

This was such a fun session! First off, it was so pretty! The lighting for Margot and Ian’s session was nothing short of dreamy! We cruised all around the grounds at Cylburn arboretum. Margot and Ian were in town with her parents (and pup) and soon after their session they would drive back home to NY. I loved that her parents got to see us do our thing too! While we wish they lived closer, we know when we do see them, it’s going to be for their wedding! Margot and Ian, we are so excited for our time with you in 2023! Enjoy this season, it will go so fast, so soak up every moment you can!

Doing siblings weddings is always and has always been special for us.

3 1/2 years ago we shot a wedding for a couple named Seth and Megan. It was beautiful and so much fun. That day I met her whole family, including her sister Katie. Katie is sweet and fun and beautiful. When Katie got engaged to Mitch we were so honored that they reached out to us to want to to photograph their day. Even more special was the fact that my past couple, Megan and Seth, gifted us to their siblings as their wedding present. Holy Moly! I am beyond blessed and honored and don’t take that for granted. So Megan and Seth thank you.

When you both have a favorite football team, you have to represent your team! We loved that Emily and Trevor incorporated into their classy engagement session a little personality. We started their session at M&T Bank Stadium and did a mini segment with their team shirts.

After that, the outfit change, and then headed into Fells Point, one of my favorite locations for engagement sessions. There’s so much you can capture down there so we were pumped that they were up for an adventure. We had a lot of fun with these two and we knew during that session that these guys would be the best couple to end our 2021 year with! Thanks so much guys for a great session. Loved getting to know you at dinner over Abby Burgers. We are so excited to share your wedding gallery with you… it’s almost done! Woot woot!

It’s pretty amazing how the referrals of people bring us such incredible people. In 2017 we shot a wedding for a couple named Amanda and Rob. For those that don’t know we got cheated out of half of their wedding photos when digital files went missing. We came to find out that Dropbox lost photos that we would never get back. After a full refund and thousands of dollars in data recovery, we learned the lesson that nothing is ever truly safe in a tech world.

The grace Amanda and Rob and their families extend it to us was unparalleled to the point that we will by January 2022 will have shot all three sisters’ weddings. Amanda and Rob continue to refer friends of theirs to us which is how Sierra and Dan found us. Of their friends, we shot a wedding for Korinna and Dustin as well as Allison and James which led us to Sierra and Dan. Holy moly.

We met these sweethearts at another wedding for their friends Mallory and DJ a few years back and it was so much fun to see everyone again at Mandy and Chris’ wedding! These two had such a memorable engagement session driving around Locust Point and Fed Hill hitting all of the iconic spots. On their wedding day, they tackled the rain, even as it sprinkled through the ceremony they held true to what was most important: getting married. They read their vows to one another (after a rock, paper, scissors for who would go first) and then partied the night away. Complete with a full service ice cream truck, their reception was a rockin’ time. We can’t wait to see your final film from Living Radiant Films and relive your beautiful day! Thank you for bearing with us all through the rain, you had an incredible day and we are thankful to have been a part of it!

Yah! A wedding is up on the blog today and it’s a beautiful Main Street Ballroom couple, Abbie + Ryan! We got to work with Lauren Corrigan and a wonderful team of vendors.

The day was perfect. Hot, but that didn’t stop anyone from having fun or popping champagne. It did rain but the timing was perfect and happened after all the portraits were done… but you can tell in the photos… the lighting is bomb!

I’m going to kick this blog post off saying that Bridget and Kenny’s dogs are by far the best and cutest golden retrievers and the most obedient at a wedding, even better than kids haha. But really, really awesome dogs that belong to our amazing Kenny and Bridgette! Their pups were part of the entire day from getting ready to portraits through ceremony.

Kenny and Bridgette, Patrick and I were honored and so excited to be alongside you guys. Although we had never met until the wedding day we felt like we were walking into a friends wedding day of. You guys made us feel so special upon our arrival and it meant the world to us. The whole day was fun. You guys trusted us. For not having done an engagement session you guys were amazing with letting us give you direction for posing and hopefully you felt like you got to enjoy your wedding the way you wanted.

Super excited to share this wedding with you all! We especially loved working with incredible planning team, Elizabeth Bailey Weddings. Grace and Ben were referred to us through them which we are so honored and grateful for.

When we met Grace and Ben we were so thrilled when they hired us as we knew we would have a lot of fun. The day they wanted for themselves was the day they got. A rocking dance party complete with a band and really sweet parent dances. They also had a very cool cake cutting. Graces grandparents own a local bakery, Bonjour Bakery, here in town and the cake was a cake to be smashed not cut. And I mean smashed, like with a hammer.

What a sweet, sweet day. Rachel and Matt had a beautiful wedding at the Hunt Valley Country Club this August! They had a really cute first look where Rachel signed her new name onto a baseball for Matt who is a huge fan. Their ceremony was so personalized and sweet and was a true testament to their relationship and all that they had been through. Not a dry eye from our photography team left! They are both such a relaxed and fun couple and it showed throughout their wedding day and how much fun they had during their reception. Thanks so much for including us, it was an honor to be there on your wedding day!
