When I think of a vibrant colorful engagement session, I’ll totally think about these two!

Maria and Shantanu are having an Indian/American fusion wedding next October 2020 and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this season of life with them.

Our time with them was super sweet… as a Locust Point couple living close to Under Armour, we felt it fitting to do their engagement session near “home” for these two. Patrick and I were excited about it because we realized in all our sessions, we’ve never done a shoot in Locust Point with one of our couples!

Chrissy and Ryan’s session was better than I could imagine. They were pros. Their genuine affection, joy, and enthusiasm radiated during the whole time we were together. I proposed a few fun photo segments and they totally took me up on it. Wait until you see the Scooter and Ice Cream segment of our time together. 

I’m gonna recap this wedding for you. Beautiful details, beautiful bridesmaids, a killer vendor team including My Flower Box, Crow Entertainment, Betsy Robinson Bridal, Flavor Cupcakery, Radiant Films, and so much more goodness. The day was smooth and wedding day full. Although we highly recommend first looks, these guys had the perfect timeline in place for a day without a first look. Watching Josh see Lindsay for the first time was so sweet. The backdrop for their wedding day was beautiful, they couldn’t have asked for better weather. It even rained and then stopped before ceremony which was amazing!! We didn’t even have to use umbrellas at all that day! 

For those of you who know Patrick and I, we limit our fights to 1 a wedding. We are both stubborn, both passionate and opinionated… me more than him. It’s because we care so much about our couples and their day and we both want to ensure we get soooo much goodness from the day! This day was epic. Amazing couple and amazing bridal party, amazing overall Baltimore goodness.

We’ve been friends with these guys for over a year and a half as they hired us pretty soon after getting engaged. Which is so crazy when wedding day actually came about beause we felt like we just were part of the event and their crew which made our job so smooth with Jenn and James and their whole family and day.

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!

When we finish a session and it didn’t feel like work, you know you found a dream couple. Stephanie and Trevor nailed their session. I know part of the ease comes from the fact that we’ve known these guys for a long time. Like over 15 years!!

The best part of this job is shooting special moments for friends and family, and shooting for special people that become friends and family. The longevity of this job is great! The families grow and you get to do maternity shoots, newborn pictures, family sessions, etc. In this case, this proposal was a special moment for an already great friend. Jon, aka “Munch”, was one of Sarah’s best friends in college, but it had been six years since they had seen each other! What a fun treat to get to document this super sweet moment for them!

I’ve known Sarah probably since we were in elementary school. We grew up in the same church most our lives and were involved in church productions and youth group functions. Though a little younger than me, we weren’t super close.  Earlier this year, Sarah reached out about photographing her and her then boyfriend Andrew for […]

These two dated in Old Ellicott City and had their first kiss in Old Ellicott City, so it was fitting to do their photos in Old EC. Unfortunately, EC isn’t the same as it used to be, so we had to venture around and find hidden beauty in the rubble. Thanks so much Lauren and Kyle for allowing us to move about, see what we could do with limited locations in a super cute town. This town means a lot to all 4 of us and we are so glad we got to spend time getting to know each other in a town we all love. Oh and that Manor Hill Tavern… we’ve gotta go back and order enough food to have left overs. Clearly we were hungry the first time haha. And Holy Smoke… what a good one. Guys, we can’t wait for your wedding in December! It’s gonna be here so so soon!
