Clark and Casey met in SAT class at their high school, Archbishop Spalding, in the summer of 2006. Little did Casey know the funny kid in the bright orange hat would turn out to be the love of my life!  Their first date was to Downtown Annapolis that summer, and since then they have had many, many more in that beautiful location! It will forever be a special place for them.  After high school they spent their college years on opposite sides of Pennsylvania, Clark at St. Vincent College, and Casey at York College of Pennsylvania.  They discovered that distance truly makes the heart grow fonder, and their love only continued to grow deeper. College came and went and the day finally came that they were both back in Maryland for good! Then, on October 29th, 2014, Clark popped the question, and of course Casey said yes!  As best friends they are thrilled to be spending life together… November can’t come soon enough!

Last Friday, we had the honor of photographing Stephanie and Nick’s Wedding at Geneva Farms Golf Course in Jarrettsville. It was a beautiful week, leading up to a snowy/rainy mix of a day, but  that didn’t change attitudes!

Cassie and Kevin are precious and their story sweet as ever. I asked Cassie to write up a blurb about their relationship (mainly because she can tell it so much better!). My favorite line “we are blessed to have found one another and know that is was simply by God’s sweet grace that we did.”  ughh… grab me the tissues! I’m a romantic by nature and fall in love over again with my own husband weekly. Knowing two people are completely and fully vulnerable to fall in love with another is amazing, a God gift indeed. It is by the sweet grace of God that he can hand pick someone for you.

Erica and Jim got married last September on a beautiful day at Historic Londontown Gardens. It took us a while to get this up on the blog but it’s here at last! This wedding was featured on Bayside Bride, and we were honored!

I just can’t stand it any longer! Josh and Nichele are not just clients but they are dear friends of ours. We are so honored to be their wedding photographers. I really wish I met Nichele like YEARS ago! She’s a babe. I’ve known Josh pretty much since he was like a little kid… oh wait, I was a little kid too!! Josh and his family moved to Baltimore when I was in middle school… so I’ve known him over half of my life. I have the honor of knowing Nichele because of Josh now. Nichele has become a dear friend to me (ever since we moved to Ellicott City and I feel like my social life is my phone and computer, but really haha). Patrick and I really value and appreciate their friendship.

This story for us started in a starbucks, where we met them, and said “they would be a great fit for us!”. Mario and Allison, we are thrilled to be your wedding photographers, but more than that, our newest friends. 🙂

Allison and Mario wanted their engagement session to be in Alexandria, VA.

We are so excited to share this wedding as the bride is one of my dear friends, bridesmaids, and a beauty. I’ve been rooting for Sarah and Chris for years and they finally tied the knot at a beautiful vineyard in Belleville, PA! Patrick and I love photographing love stories, especially the kind that are rooted in time and history.

This wedding makes me smile with each time I look at it. Love ya Sarah. So thankful I not only got to photograph your wedding and marriage to Chris, but I got to witness an awesome chapter of your beautiful and romantic novel.

This is a little over due, but we didn’t want to forget our sweet Lara and her man Brent, the volleyball coaches at Stevenson University who are getting hitched next year!! We did their engagement pics, and they invited us to come photograph their engagement party!

Last weekend, my cousin Krissy got married in Richmond Virginia. What a beautiful weekend away and what a fabulous reason for a road trip! She was an absolutely stunning bride.

Krissy invited me to her bridesmaids luncheon at The Blue Goat, a Neo-southern comfort food restaurant, sourced locally when possible. (They have the BEST TOT-CHOs – spicy tater-tots I’ve ever had, hoping to try to replicate in my own kitchen hehe).

This coming September, I will be standing besides one of my friends, Brittany, when she says “I Do” to our friend, John. We are really excited for them!

This past weekend, we threw Brittany a surprise bridal shower which was awesome because even thought she was suspicious, she was still surprised.
