Sara and Greg had a beautiful wedding at Valley Country Club in Towson on what was a gorgeous January day. Man did they luck out with the weather. It was an evening wedding with a gold and navy color palette. With their kids alongside them they said I Do under the canopy in the ballroom, where they all lit candles and brought their blended family together as one. Wait until you see their boys… what cuties and man can these little guys dance. 

Yah! We are so excited to share our last wedding of 2017 with you all. This wedding is pretty special because the bride and I go way back to Middle School and High School. Allie and I both attended Bryn Mawr together and after graduation really didn’t see or talk to each other except on social media. When Allie got engaged, and inquired we were thrilled.

With colors of champagne, peach, ivory with splashes of burgundy and copper elements, you know it’s gonna be a really pretty wedding!! We met Erin and Alex thanks to one of our past couples, Daniel + Chrissy who got married at Gramercy Mansion. When these two lovebirds asked us to be their wedding photographers, we were so excited! The day was perfect… overcast skies with sunshine. The ceremony was sweet and special. We always feel like it’s pretty amazing when our couples have things in common. Both our bride and groom’s fathers had passed away and as a result, speeches were sentimental and emotional. Watching Erin and Alex throughout the day, you can just tell they love being together. From their laughs and “sweet nothings” these guys clearly loved their day! And their bridal party rocked it! 
 

A little over a week ago, we showed up at one of our favorite venues, Belmont Manor, to find all the bridesmaids dressed, looking killer, and a beautiful bride with the biggest smile on her face. 

Kimmie and Shawn got married outside on the property of the gorgeous historic Belmont Manor in front of lots of family and friends. These two are sweet souls. It’s totally obvious how much Shawn loves Kimmie and Kimmie loves Shawn. From their giggles moments before their first look, to their kisses snuck between clicks of the camera, these too ROCKED their wedding day, had a blast, and loved every minute.

THIS POST IS SO SPECIAL TO US!! Becky is my “little sister” who is all grown up and an amazing woman. I’m so proud to call her my sister. Becky has been living in Australia the last three years for school and while there met an incredible man named Michael, a Samoan who officially became our brother-in-law in January.

Becky and Michael had a super fun Stateside reception to bring together family and friends and celebrate their marriage! They got married on the water in Melbourne, and their stateside reception was held at the same location Patrick and I did only ours was 3.5 years ago! We got to be both bridal party and photographers (for just part of the day) and dance alongside Becky and Michael. You’ve gotta check out the photobooth pictures too to see my crazy family. My personal favorite… the donut wall. I mean, donuts for days!!

I met Kaitlin shortly after her sister Megan hired us for her October 2017 wedding. You can view Megan and Charles’ wedding here! Kaitlin and Scott hired us to photograph their holiday pictures and later asked us to photograph their wedding. 

Last June we were photographing a beautiful downtown Marriott wedding and during the reception, we see this couple just rockin’ the dance floor. I remember telling Patrick, “oh my gosh, how fun are they!?” It was so obvious these two just loved being together and dancing together. 

Billy and Claire both attended Virginia Tech and had over 100 mutual friends but had never met. It was outside of the college life that Claire and Billy first met. Claire had moved to DC, reconnected with friends, and met Billy at one of the hangouts. Things evolved as they became dates for each other to alumni events and parties, and the rest is history. 

We are so excited to share the wedding of the newly married Travis and Ashley Holmes!

Not only did they get married at one of Maggie’s sentimental locations (The McDonogh School), but they also had a stunning weather day, amazing bridal party, and details galore! The Belevedere Hotel was their reception venue. Wait until you see this amazing venue!

Maggie met Travis when they started teaching at McDonogh almost 5 years ago. They were both first year teachers and they both were single at the time. Almost a year ago, we got an email from an Ashley Miller, and a Travis Holmes. Maggie was ectatic, because she knew that Travis Holmes had to be the same guy she taught with right out of college. Ashley and Travis have become dear friends of ours and we loved celebrating the day with them!
