Aww gosh, I don’t even know where to begin with this power couple. Let’s first start off saying that when I met Maria 4 years (yes… 4) at the four seasons bridal show, we would have no idea what would come. To date, these two are our longest standing couple for us. We have now photographed them in 4 different years. 2019 was their engagement session, 2020 was their small Covid wedding soon after the pandemic reared its ugly face, 2021 was their gorgeous American wedding with a reception at Matthews 1600, and 2022 was their Indian wedding! And next year?! I need this couple in my life every year haha.

All I can say is wow. Val and Garrett trusted us without even having to meet us in person. An hour before their session, the skies literally DUMPED rain… non-stop. We weren’t sure if the session was going to happen or not, but in looking at the radar, we wanted to go for it. Once we told them that we wanted to go for it, they did too… (of course knowing we would reschedule if the rian didn’t subside). Upon arrival at the location where Garrett proposed, the sun started to come out. We knew we had 2 hours before the next storm, so we did our best to CRUISE around Havre de Grace and get these lovebirds variety. They did great! We ended our time together at one of my favs… Abbey Burger. And we talked all things life and wedding. Val and Garrett, we are so excited for whats to come and your wedding day! xo

Ooooo this session is so so fun! First off, Ashley and Tim are one of our 2023 destination wedding clients… BOSTON! Yah yah! We are so excited to be alongside them next year.

Ashley was a bridesmaid in a wedding we shot last June and we are soo pumped that they want us to be alongside them. They flew in from Boston and met up with us at Longwood Gardens, this incredible park of sorts that is massive with gorgeous water fountains, stunning tree lines, and an area I call Versailles mainly because it’s just romantic and dreamy. These two did awesome and we are so pumped that they trusted us to take them on a great adventure all over the park! Can’t wait for your wedding, we are going to have the BEST DAY EVER!

Ya! This session was such a fun one! Sami and Rob are getting married at Renault Winery in New Jersey next year. They were guests at a wedding we shot in 2021 in Pennsylvania and loved our personalities and of course Josh and Alyssa‘s wedding gallery.

Referrals are so incredible. I can’t even think what life would look like not to have a relationship with people. Ashley and Joe are one of those couples. They found us through one of our past couples Abby and Eric, one of our 2016 couples. Ashley and Joe are wonderful people. And their families are also so sweet. We met Ashley and Joe in person at their engagement shoot and what was probably one of the hottest engagement sessions of the entire year, maybe even two years. Joe had just returned from Kuwait from deployment so we were so pumped to be able to spend some time with him pre-wedding day and get to know them at dinner.

Aww yah! Okay, so I’m just going to be straight to the point. I love this session for a lot of reasons.

1. They have a little guy named Quinn who I could just eat up he’s so sweet and cute! I love when couples include their babies and or furbabies!

2. Dinner afterwards was awesome… thanks Keegan for bearing with us as we navigated options! LOVED the thai food we got.

3. It was coooollllddd. Like not kidding, like we could not feel our fingers or hands. We had to all take thaw breaks. I didn’t love that…BUT what I LOVED was that the two sucked it up, did they session and looked sexy even in the cold. And baby Quinn, didn’t even cry.., what!!? What a champion baby!

4. And lastly, the outfits. I loved what outfits they choose!

Kathryn and Keegan, thanks for trusting us, with the day, your son, and even meeting your parents was so awesome! We can’t wait for your day!

Our last wedding of the year! I can’t believe we survived 2021 but we did and we did it next to the best couples on the planet. So excited to share this wedding with you all. Not only was this our last wedding of the year, but it was our 54th wedding of the year and there’s not another couple we would have wanted it to be.

Emily and Trevor, Congrats. Your day was full of so many sweet memories and moments. You both come from intentional, and beautiful families. The parent reveals were incredible, and watching Emily’s mom admire her daughter as she got dressed got me emotional too.

The whole day was full and fun. These lovebirds got ready at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel, sharing a first touch and their vows on the Four Seasons waterfront. They actually rode together in the same vehicle to their ceremony but didn’t actually see each other until Emily walked down the aisle! Thanks for trusting us, for letting us get creative, and even letting us try something new. By new, these guys trust us to do a first touch followed by a photo looking at the camera… but without seeing each other. Talk about self control!

This was a bucket list wedding for us. We’ve lived in Baltimore our whole lives and as we’ve grown as wedding photographers, there’s a handful of venues that we thought would be iconic venues to shoot as Baltimore kids and photographers. Being able to photograph a wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel was special for us. We have been there for events, we even have been guests there before, but we hadn’t shot a wedding there yet. To be honest I was a little bit intimidated because I knew our caliber had to be on point and our professionalism not lacking at all. Cara and Brad had a beautiful day despite the weather that was handed to us for their day. Although we could not get outside for their bridal party photos or family photos we were able to sneak in a beautiful first look with a short segment of the Baltimore skyline for them.

These guys had a large shotlist for family pictures and wanted to have them all done prior to ceremony. So we definitely planned an incredible shot list and timeline with them alongside the amazing Celebrations Event team Lorin and Sharon.

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!

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.
