What a wonderful day! There’s probably a handful of works that I could use to summarize this day. Vivacious, Laughter, Beaming, Wild, Enthralled, Humble. Just a few. This power couple is amazing. Dana and Drew’s day was nothing short of fun, laughter, a few tears, and amazing family and friends. We loved the first look they shared together and with their families. I think it’s amazing that Danas new name acronyms ACDC, so it was fitting for Drew to gift her a necklace with the initials. The day was hot but these guys rocked their day, so did their crew. We adventured to the top of Fed Hill and ended on the water at the amazing BMI venue. You’ll went to scroll this whole gallery… you’ll find a toy box gifted to the bride from a siblings, a sweet dog, and beautiful gowns. Dana and Drew, we love you heaps and can’t wait to see what’s in store for you lovebirds!

Yah! This year we’ve already been at BMI so it’s one of our favorites of Baltimore. Hands down, it’s one of the prettiest places in Baltimore… that skyline view! When we met Kate and Ryan, we knew we’d be a good team! Kate and I share a love for Lily and lots of laughter! Thanks goodness we’ve both married men that love our not shy personalities!

Kate and Ryan are MARRIED!!! We are so excited for these two and what a wonderful day they had. These guys had a full wedding day that had so many great moments. The reveals were so fun and sweet, especially Ryan and his momma! And the fact that their pup joined was soo good. We absolutely love when couples incorporate their furbabies!

I am sooo excited to share photos from Jasmine and Brian’s Baltimore themed engagement session! They are big Ravens fans and Orioles fans, so we met outside the Baltimore Ravens stadium and worked our way around town. They were so much fun and happy to walk around the city to be able to shoot at spots that had important memories for them. Luckily, the Orioles had a night game, so in the morning we were able to shoot at both sides of the stadium with no people around. The Marriott Camden Yards is the host hotel for their wedding, so Jasmine was excited to have the stadium photos to print for the weekend festivities. After the Orioles stadium, we walked over to Pratt Street Ale House where they are considering having their welcome party, and did some fun shots there. It was bright, but we were able to find shade and make the most of it! We finished at the Inner Harbor waterfront, where no shoot is complete without a photobomb from the pirate ship. We decided we were done, so I took Jasmine’s ring for a photo, and when I turned around, Brian was over at Rita’s collecting the perfect end to an engagement session – ice cream! So of course we needed to shoot a few more while they enjoyed some soft serve and laughed together. Thanks for a great session, Jasmine and Brian, I am so excited to capture your special day this fall!!

Yah! This wedding has been delivered and they love their photos! And I have to say, we do too! When we met Steph and John, we just knew that they would be one of those couples that would have an awesome wedding day, be excited for the full experience of the day, but also trust us to do what we love and are good at. The whole day was wonderful. These two opted not to do a first look which allowed us to do a lot of their separates on the front end of the day. Steph shared a really sweet reveal with her dad. John gave Stephanie a photo album… like a custom one and it was so sentimental. One of my favorite details from their day was including their dog on socks as well as signature drinks. Oh, and Steph wore cowboy boots!

What a cold session but Hannah and Nick did awesome! And so did their dog!

We met Hannah and Nick at Centennial Park about two hours before sunset. We knew where we wanted to take them and knew we were chasing daylight. The park had a lot of construction so our normal route had to be ditched and these two had to trust us as we drove throughout the park. Hannah and Nick, you guys did awesome! We are so excited to get to know you more and can’t wait for your wedding!

Dang, this is a bittersweet wedding for me. Not because of the couple, but because of the memories associated with this couple and their families. I met Christina back in 2017 at her sisters wedding. Amanda and Rob were the first couple to get married. Amanda is one of 3 sisters. Christina is the oldest, followed by Amanda and then Melissa. Melissa and Jon got married 2 years later, and we were asked again by this family to photograph their wedding day. We of course were honored and didn’t hesitate. Then 2 years later, Christina and Jeremy. How freakin’ awesome.

Ohh yah! Okay, so this is a really cold weather but beautiful session! Lauren reached out to me via Instagram and then we made our excitement a reality and Lauren and Nick booked me for their engagement session in Fells Point. These guys did awesome! While it was windy, chilly and hands eventually got too cold to do anything, these guys totally had fun together. Lauren and Nick, thanks for meeting me downtown and cruising around with me for your session. We are so excited for you and hope you enjoy every minute of this season!

Our last wedding of the year! I can’t believe we survived 2021 but we did and we did it next to the best couples on the planet. So excited to share this wedding with you all. Not only was this our last wedding of the year, but it was our 54th wedding of the year and there’s not another couple we would have wanted it to be.

Emily and Trevor, Congrats. Your day was full of so many sweet memories and moments. You both come from intentional, and beautiful families. The parent reveals were incredible, and watching Emily’s mom admire her daughter as she got dressed got me emotional too.

The whole day was full and fun. These lovebirds got ready at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel, sharing a first touch and their vows on the Four Seasons waterfront. They actually rode together in the same vehicle to their ceremony but didn’t actually see each other until Emily walked down the aisle! Thanks for trusting us, for letting us get creative, and even letting us try something new. By new, these guys trust us to do a first touch followed by a photo looking at the camera… but without seeing each other. Talk about self control!

What a wedding! Hands down, this was the coldest wedding day we had in 2021. It actually is in our top 5 for coldest wedding in 10 years. But Corrine and Bradley and their families were soooo awesome.

They could have said no way and had indoor photos at Belvedere but Corrine wanted the water and the city feel. They trusted us to get through their shot list. They huddled together behind the scenes. We photoshopped hair flys, the pink/purple in hands, but they kept smiles throughout all the segments. The whole day was lovely. Corrine and her girls got ready at her parents house on the water, while the guys got ready at a hotel in Baltimore. They did a first look on the Baltimore waterfront. They trusted us when we had to switch locations of where to do a first look and where all their portraits would be. The Four Seasons waterfront was a wind tunnel… it would have been a shipwreck of hair and dresses. Everyone including us would have been miserable. But we found a spot that would still capture Baltimore, the Domino Sugar sign, and the feel of a city with a waterfront. We weren’t escaping the high 30 degree temps,, but we did escape the 20+ mph wind that day on the waterfront.

So this session is another one of our beloved Fells Point session and it’s so good! Brittany and Joe, what a duo. When we met these guys in person, we knew it would be a blast to cruise around town and also get dinner afterwards. Brittany is vibrant and full of joy… and Joe is calm, collect and sweet… we’ve always said we have the prettiest people on the planet, and I believe it, don’t you!

Joe happens to be one of our past groom’s (Fadi) best friend, so it was super cool for us to be able to work with him, while he’s seen us do our thing! Brittany and Joe, you guys did sooo good. Thanks for trusting us! Can’t wait for what’s ahead!
