250!!!! Before I dive into the beauty and adventure of this day I have to just make it known that Emma and Thomas marked for us our 250th wedding, which is that in and of itself is crazy considering we have only been full-time for seven years. We actually didn’t realize until the following week that they were our 250th couple. Just unreal. Thank you Emma and Thomas! So glad it was you!

This wedding was so much fun. I’ve gotten to know Emma over the course of the last few months. Our time with them at their engagement session was so fun, so we knew so would their wedding be! When you first meet Emma she is vibrant and so special. She makes you feel like you’re the most important person in the room. She’s kind, sweet and definitely funny. Her and I share a love of using the Cricut except she is an expert, she basically made everything for her wedding!

What a sweet, sweet day. Rachel and Matt had a beautiful wedding at the Hunt Valley Country Club this August! They had a really cute first look where Rachel signed her new name onto a baseball for Matt who is a huge fan. Their ceremony was so personalized and sweet and was a true testament to their relationship and all that they had been through. Not a dry eye from our photography team left! They are both such a relaxed and fun couple and it showed throughout their wedding day and how much fun they had during their reception. Thanks so much for including us, it was an honor to be there on your wedding day!

We launched Beloved Weddings in 2020 as a solution to couples still wanting to get married during a pandemic without quality suffering. When Caitlin reached out, I was so excited because this would truly be a beloved and intimate wedding. Caitlin and David got married at the beautiful and eclectic Gramercy Mansion in the presence of family. We spent time in the gardens and around property getting beautiful moments of their love prior to the ceremony.

Shortly after, these two said I Do in the atrium. We were there to take family photos and document a once in a life time event, and for these two, it was evident that they are for each other. Caitlin and David, thanks for trusting me and allowing me to be part of such a wonderful wedding. We wish you all the best!

Yippee! Okay, so first off, this engagement session is a beauty… and two, these guys get married literally next Friday… not this Friday, but next! AHH! We just can’t wait!

Our time with Abbie and Ryan was so much fun. It was supposed to rain and it definitely did at the end of our time together. We literally were chasing overcast skies, praying for great opportunities and sure enough, God provided! These guys had some beautiful lighting, great backdrops, and not a hint of harsh sun. We cruised all around Fells Point! They let us try a double exposure with them, we even busted out the umbrella. At the end of our session, we hung out and ate tacos at Barcocina while it down poured.

I am excited to share this wedding probably most because it is a private residence wedding right off the hole 18 at the Hillendale golf golf course, and because Katie and Greg are a bomb couple!

We met Kaity and Greg back in 2019 and we were so excited for their 2020 wedding. But once Covid shut everything down I remember talking with Katie and Greg and we went along with them for a postponement into 2021. I’m really proud of these guys and their parents because planning a wedding a second time is hard but planning a second wedding when it’s at your home and having to bring in vendors and rentals of all sorts is not an easy feat. Katie and her family including Greg and his spent endless hours working to make the property gorgeous. And I’ll tell you what it’s one of the prettiest backyard weddings we have ever photographed. The day started out with the girls getting ready at Katie’s parents home. Cooper their dog was there as well making sure everyone was staying on time. The girls and their matching robes on could be heard throughout the house. Laughter, anticipation, and ease were all vibes. Transportation picked us up and took us to the beautiful St. Mary’s Cathedral on Charles Street. The ride over was fun, memorable, as we watched Katie’s bridesmaids and her dad sing songs about weddings and being in love while standing up in the trolley. Katie beamed the whole ride.

What is super super couple and wedding day! Christy and Tom had a beautiful wedding at the Turf Valley Resort. Amazing weather day with overcast skies, big puffy clouds and sunshine.

Upon arriving to Turf Valley and the suites, there was nothing but smiles. Patrick found the guys laughing and joking around, while Maggie found the girls giggling and giddy for what would come throughout the day. The girls looked incredible! Fun details and a killer makeup/hair team, Christy was show stopping.

Patrick and I got our couple ready for their first look out in the gardens. The encounter was epic… Tom was so pumped to see Christy and she just beamed. After a handful of photos, the bridal party and family would shortly meet us to cruise the property and do some great segments. We had our fingers crossed that the water wouldn’t come on while we were out on the course taking photos! Thankfully they never came on!

Yah for dogs and super cute couples! First off, I love our engagement sessions because most of them take us places we’ve never been before. For Steph and John, Piney Run State Park is super special to them, as John proposed on a hike to the back of the park… they said it would not disappoint so we of course said, let’s go and took a long hike!

We hiked back with them, their sweet pup, and Steph’s mom too! We loved our time with them. I especially loved that John grabbed a lotus flower without question when he was near one on a log so we could style her engagement ring! We loved getting to know them and can’t wait for their wedding next April!

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!
