Oh man, this wedding is so fun to share with you all today! First off, I met Lexi, mother of the bride years ago at the Cloisters at a bridal show. Lexi is a wedding planner here in Baltimore, who I’ve had the privilege of working alongside, educating brides with, and also building a friendship with. Super thankful for my relationship with her and just wanted to start off saying that. Prior to meeting Creason, I actually met her sister who I did senior photos for and once Creason got engaged, we were soo excited and honored when Creason and Caleb (and Lexi) asked us to be their wedding photographers! I’m always so honored when a vendor hires us for their daughter or sons wedding, considering she works with so many other talented photographers too.

The day was so full! And by full I mean non-stop for us. We knew going into the day that this wedding may take the cake for most organized photos ever. Like ever. But we were ready for it, and so were the families of our couple. The morning was awesome, relaxed and Creason got ready on site at Dulaneys Overlook. The bridal parties were awesome, friendly and full of laughs. Once dressed in her stunning gown, Creason did a dad reveal with her dad which was soo emotional for everyone… mom, dad, sister, Creason. Phew. Following the dad reveal, we headed out front of the manor house where Caleb would see Creason for the first time.

Oh, this wedding makes me smile when I think about it. Last year, I got to photograph Hannah and Mark’s elopement mini wedding. They decided to have a very intimate ceremony at Silos at the Falls. Their families could not be there. They rescheduled their wedding to 2021 at the beautiful and our most photographed venue, the Baltimore Museum of Industry.

The day started out hot but beautiful. Hanne was at a hotel in Baltimore city while Mark got ready at their home in Locust point. Hannah’s morning was super special. Her mom dressed her on her wedding day and then we did a first look with her dad. It was super special for her parents to be there as they had never witnessed their daughter fully dressed for either weddings. Hannah’s mom shared with me that her and her dad had been separated, possibly even divorced if I remember right but are now back together. Such a cool story this family has been through a lot together and it was evident and emotional on their wedding day. I live for those kind of stories. The two of them, Mark and Hannah shared a really sweet first look right on the water at BMI. Mark was emotional we knew he would be. They had gone through so much with planning during a pandemic. The two of them laughed out loud the way that they do so well and shared great moments with each other throughout the day. Their bridal party was awesome, followed directions and clearly had so much fun. Ceremony was out on the point, overlooking Baltimore. Probably my favorite ceremony locations to date. I tell everyone if you’ve never been there you need to go it has one of the best views of Baltimore there is.

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.

Yah! A turf valley wedding! I remember in our first couple years of business, Turf Valley was bucket list for us. I wanted to be their friend, wanted to shoot weddings there. Well, let’s just say… they’ve become one of our favorite venues. Not only do they refer weddings to us, but we have the honor of photographing events there, even their spa and pool. Patrick got to be a model once to lol. Anyway, we love Turf Valley and this wedding was our first there this year!

Stacy and Ryan are such a bomb couple. They truly are some of the most genuine people we’ve had the honor of photographing. They are sweet, kind, down to earth, and were just a joy to be around their whole wedding day. They even let us steal them at sunset and walk literally like 100 yards to chase the sun!

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!
