Aww, Lisa and Kevin! Congrats you both. We met Lisa and Kevin the day of a wedding we had at Gramercy Mansion actually. They were scoping venues and we encouraged them to check out a few that we loved. They ended up going with BMI and then asked us to be their wedding photographers for their October 4th wedding. Then Covid hit MD and these two decided to postpone their big BMI wedding but still get married at BMI on their original wedding date. Patrick and I were so pumped to be there with them.

Nicole and Ray were a BLAST to work with. Their sense of humor is incredible… they had Patrick and I laughing our whole time together! They wanted photos in Towson due to it being a fav place of theirs and it’s where they spent their college years. We spent the first half of their session at the Historic Hampton Mansion and then went to Towson for the second half. They met in the Towers on campus, dorms side by side. Both were athletes at Towson, Baseball and Track/Field.

Guys, we loved your session! If you don’t already know, we love when pets are included in sessions. “Nike” their Great Dane/Lab mix was so sweet (Thanks Kelsey for helping out with Nike!).

Lindsay and Jay! Married! These lovebirds rescheduled their big 2020 wedding to 2021 yet still decided to have a wedding in the comfort of Lindsays parents home. Surrounded by close friends and family, these lovebirds were still able to have a great party with awesome food, florals and fun. Bunny and Buster stole the show as they are the beloved pets of Lindsay and Jay and her parents. It was totally fitting that they be part of family photos and newlywed portraits as well! Lindsay and Jay, we are soo excited to get to be alongside you guys next year and celebrate 2.0 with you! We wish you the best, enjoy Christmas together as husband and wife this year!

Kaitlin and Justin are sweet, sweet, sweet. A rom-com girl after my own heart! You’ll see a great tribute to Sweet Home Alabama in their ceremony pictures. Kaitlin works in the wedding industry and it shows! She had all of her details stored in her “wedding planning box” that she started when she was just a teenager. All that planning paid off! A beautiful outdoor ceremony, gorgeous over-sized balloons, a barn reception, and an ice cream truck! Justin tied it all together with his cowboy hat and boots. It was the perfect wedding full of Southern charm. Thank you, both, for having us and congratulations!

Yah!! Screw COVID! Stephanie and Nate were going to get married, COVID or not. These cuties were supposed to get married at M&T Bank Ravens stadium with an awesome reception but made the decision to do an intimate ceremony at the Pendry Hotel in Fells Point when they found out that their venue was not yet open for weddings. We were excited to be able to be part of their day and document it, but also because we hadn’t shot a wedding there yet!

To date we’ve rescheduled 27 weddings in our company between all our teams which I just find insane. So much has been robbed from our couples from Covid and government restrictions. But I have to say, in the midst of the uncertainty and chaos, we seriously have the most incredible stories and couples. Here’s one of them.

We met Maria at the Four Seasons bridal show last year and knew that her and Shantanu would be one of our favorite weddings of 2020. They would have a beautiful 3 day Indian wedding on our calendar and we were pumped to shoot it. I told them at our engagement session that I may have been a little more excited about Indian food and culture because I spent a month in India in college and loved it. Over the last few months we’ve gotten closer to these guys.

What a session for the records! If there’s a couple who rocked their rainy day engagement session, it’s these two!

First off, I’d like to say that there wasn’t any rain in the forecast, or rather it was like 10% and not even on the radar, literally. Miranda and I made the call that we would go through with the session! We met them at the Pagoda at Patterson Park. We used to do sessions there ALL.THE.TIME… like in 2015… but for the last couple years none of our couples chose that location. We were pretty excited to return to that gem in Baltimore because 1) we obviously have gotten better over the years but 2) it meant something special to our couple.

Their dog Piper did awesome and although didn’t find the camera too friendly, she rocked her segments nonetheless.

Excited to share our first engagement session of Quarantine 2020!

Back in March, we wrapped up a Fells Point Engagement session for one of our couples days before heading out on a week long cruise. We needed a break, we needed time off before a crazy wedding season would be upon us. Little did we know it would be our last one in Baltimore for 2 months. Within hours of getting back into the nation, we would be one of the last boats to go to sea. We also didn’t know that 60 some days would pass between that Fells Point session, and this session. Say hello to engagement sessions during Quarantine.

To give you background, Kayleigh and Clark booked us at the very beginning the pandemic in Maryland for their 2021 wedding and they are amazing. They are also historic for us. They are the first engagement session we’ve had in the middle of a pandemic. They had to wait until we got approval from the city, and then they saw us in a very “nervous” state, something that most our couples don’t see. We love the chaos of wedding days, the uncertainty of wedding logistics even the planned ones, but throw government regulations into the mix, yikes. We wanted to law abide but we knew we were allowed to work too… ghost streets, and little traffic was just not normal so we felt free too to be creative and give these guys some shots we normally would not have gotten.

I’m so excited to share this session today! This was our last Baltimore engagement session before all this craziness happened with COVID and stay at home orders. It was days before we left for our cruise and I actually think like the day or 2 before these cuties drove south to Florida to move into their new home!

Woot Woot! What an awesome day! You know, when most people think about getting married in February, they are worried about snow, blizzards, being too cold, having to be outside for photos, and lack of daylight. But let me tell you, with this couple and this wedding day, those things weren’t even on the agenda. The day was beautiful, we all planned ahead. It definitely was cold, but since it wasn’t snowing or raining, Emily and Greg were absolutely amazing and trusted us to rock and roll and get them killer photos despite the cold cold winds. Their families, wedding party and guests were a blast and honestly, we still are so pumped that the day went as smooth as it did!
