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!

Amber and Chris were so much fun to get to know. I met them at one of the expos last fall when their name was drawn as the winner. Amber and her mom, who was with her, were ecstatic. We unfortunately were already booked on their wedding day, but we still got to work with them for their free engagement session.

Bright lights on stage. The crowd below watching and waiting for the music to start. His band was getting ready. A few casual stares and looks. Christina’s heart fluttered. Eric was totally distracted. But the recording had to go on.

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.

On a warm and beautiful day in Westminster, MD, Shannon and Bill invited their closest family and friends to celebrate their wedding, a day full of love, moonshine, and vows. Unions Mills Homestead was a perfect place to demonstrate their love in front of a cloud of witnesses. Shannon and Bill’s love is beautiful. They have two precious beautiful children, the result of head-over-heels love for one another. Their goal: to have a ball and dance the night away. They wanted to share these memories with their loved ones and everyone they cherish and hold dear. Watching Shannon and Bill throughout the wedding day made me smile… even when we were driving home that night. 

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).
