Yah! I am so excited to share this engagement session, probably because it involves a super sweet baby named Beck! Aubrie and Tim are actually already married, thanks to COVID, but they will be really official this fall when they get married in front of witnesses, family and friends, and of course the cutest little boy!

Our time with Aubrie and Tim was so much fun. I probably helps that we have little kids too cause an photo shoot is no joke for little kids. Some do great, others don’t. But this little guy did sooo good. As I write this I don’t think he cried once!

Ekkk! This wedding is so fun for us to share. I have to first off say that some years we shoot venues more than we have any other year, and here’s a great example. It’s been YEARS since we’ve shot at the Mt Washington Dye House, and as I’m writing this post, I know we’ve already shot 3 weddings here this year in 2 months!

It’s such an awesome and cool industrial exposed brick wedding venue in the heart of Mt Washington near Roland Park… literally where I grew up.

Oh gosh, this wedding I’m so excited to share, and I think it’s because I got to check off a bucket list wedding item: Photograph a Rainy Ceremony OUTDOOR, and our couple was the dream couple to do this with!

Sara and Joey had an incredible wedding day, wet, yes, but honestly, it was some of the prettiest lighting we’ve had all year with overcast skies but then moments of soft light. They get an award for trusting us with difficult weather and allowing us to call needed audibles day of!

There were so many cool details of this wedding that I have to mention. From an intimate first look, to a really special gift from Sara to Joey. He has a favorite actor and Sara got a recording from the actor to Joey on his wedding day. It was so cool, so special and Joey was definitely moved by it. I’ll never forget that Sara said that she wanted to get married outside. There was a 50% chance of rain, so we took all 30 of our umbrellas out to ceremony, set a bunch, gave some to family, and went full mode into what we were pretty sure would become a rainy ceremony. Sure enough, as soon as Sara walked down the aisle, the skies clouded over and the rain started to come. I’ve never interrupted a ceremony before but I was not about to allow my bride to be drenched, covered, soaked. The ceremony continued with umbrellas in hand by all and smiles too. I do’s were said and all cheered as our couple recessed out as husband and wife!

Yah! This post is long over due thanks to an insanely busy wedding season, but we are pumped to share it because it’s honestly so beautiful!

When we met Angela and Chris, we were so hopeful they would hire us. Angela and Chris, like us, are private school kids, that could have/should have met way before they did, but fate knew it would come to be. Our time with Angela and Chris was soo much fun. They trusted us as we requested to try a few new things in a location we shoot at a lot. I look at their photos and you wouldn’t even know where they were standing, or who was around, but what you can see are two really incredible people who are excited to get married!

I remember getting a phone call and an email from Wendy. She was sweet and knew she wanted to hire us. I wanted to do a zoom call with her even though we were only going to be photographing a couple of hours, and our conversation was nothing short of fun, laughter, and excitement for what would come.

Wendy and Ken are a super kind couple that we had the honor of spending a wonderful May day with. Their wedding at Grey Rock Mansion in Reisterstown. With a wonderful vendor team, an amazing family unit, and some of the cutest flower children to date, they had a gorgeous day.

We are so excited to share this wedding with you all! Alyssa and Prashant got married at the beautiful Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel! This couple is a power duo, just incredible people. Very kind and their guests were even kinder. They had the best of both worlds with two ceremonies to bind their family traditions together.

This wedding is so fun for us to post. When we met Zach and Melinda, I’ll never forget thinking how amazing these two are together. Zach is by far one of the most gentle yet strong man… like the kind that leads well, that you’d follow because you trust him. And Melinda, what a babe. She even told me once “I’m not really girly” and I told her straight up, you’re a bombshell… she’s just super humble, so sweet, and I can definitely see us being friends for life.

From our time with them eating dinner after their engagement session, to our final meeting, a few texts, we knew their wedding was bound to be full of fun, tears, and sweet moments. I can’t even say what my favorites were because there were so many cool things that these guys did. So I’m gonna start at the beginning and work my way through the end.

I’m so excited to share this wedding for so many reasons! I met Paige years ago, in the winter of 2011, maybe it was even 2012. I was working for a brand agency in Towson, and Paige worked for one of our clients. Little did I know that years later, 8 years to exact, that Paige and Matt would reach out and hire us to be their wedding photographers. I honestly was so excited, nervous and honored. I didn’t really get to say goodbye to Paige when I stopped working for that agency, so reconnecting with her was so special. There is sooo much to go on about with this wedding, so I think it’s best if I just go in order!

This wedding is special for us to share! We’ve known Melissa for a few years now. I actually don’t remember how we met Melissa but she’s been a photographer for us, has become a sweet friend, and a cheerleader for our business. When Melissa got engaged to Brian, we basically told her we wanted to shoot her wedding. No pressure, but wanted to love on them, and do it as a way to thank her for the work she’s done for us, but also because we genuinely were excited for her, her future, and her wedding.

Melissa and Brian had an awesome engagement session with us, and we loved our time with them afterwards eating Mexican food at a great restaurant called Pachanga in Ellicott City. Things were up in the air for a little while due to COVID but we are so pumped when they said they were going to move forward and still have their wedding.

We met Sarah and Mike at a Bridal show 1 month before Covid hit. It’s crazy typing that out because I actually remember life before COVID. We could hug, stand 6 inches from someone in line for coffee. When Sarah and Mike emailed us that they would have to reschedule, we were so happy to know we were available for their 2021 date. As with all our couples who had to reschedule, we couldn’t even fathom the stress, heartache and disappointment that would come with postponement. Sarah was one of my brides that seemed even keel throughout the process. Even on her wedding day, she was relaxed, excited, and just looking forward to being with Mike, her family, and share the day with the guests who attended. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Marks church in Catonsville followed by a lovely reception at Overhills Mansion.

Sarah’s bouquets and florals may have been some of my favorites I’ve seen this year. I LOVED the variety of flowers, the colors and they paired so well with the dresses, and the feel and theme of the day.
