We met Sarah and Mike at a Bridal show 1 month before Covid hit. It’s crazy typing that out because I actually remember life before COVID. We could hug, stand 6 inches from someone in line for coffee. When Sarah and Mike emailed us that they would have to reschedule, we were so happy to know we were available for their 2021 date. As with all our couples who had to reschedule, we couldn’t even fathom the stress, heartache and disappointment that would come with postponement. Sarah was one of my brides that seemed even keel throughout the process. Even on her wedding day, she was relaxed, excited, and just looking forward to being with Mike, her family, and share the day with the guests who attended. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Marks church in Catonsville followed by a lovely reception at Overhills Mansion.

Sarah’s bouquets and florals may have been some of my favorites I’ve seen this year. I LOVED the variety of flowers, the colors and they paired so well with the dresses, and the feel and theme of the day.

I’ve known Jason for what I think is almost 10 years. Patrick has probably known him longer! His sister heather is one of my best friends and his sister Sam and her husband Andrew are one of our 2017 couples. As a result I have gotten pretty close to their family so shooting this wedding was super special. When we met Lauren for the first time I knew she would be so much fun to work with. Her and Jason are so sweet together and their families are incredible. 

What we love about referrals is that we have relationship with many of the folks at the weddings we will shoot in the months to come. Melissa is one of my friends and bridesmaids and she married a really stellar guy named Alex. I was In their wedding which was super special. When Katie and nick came to our first meeting in our home, we knew this would be a neat wedding to shoot as Nick is Melissa’s brother in law, the brother of Alex. We already knew their families and knew we’d see other familiar faces too. 

Katie and Nick spent the morning with their bridal parties at private homes. They kept a traditional ceremony so Nick seeing Katie for the first time and seeing all smiles was a pretty surreal moment for them. They had a service as St Marks in Catonsville and following the ceremony, all guests were invited to the quaint but beautiful Overhills Mansion. With photos around the house of Katie and nick through time and candle themed centerpieces, this simple wedding was quite classy and just right for our couple. 

Alison and Alex, we can’t even begin to tell you how pumped we were to shoot your wedding. Your wedding was the last wedding we had in October. It was the last of 11 weeks in a row of weddings. We had 15 weddings in 11 weeks not to mention other sessions, shoots, and meetings. Shooting your wedding was the icing on the cake, and we were so thrilled to be there with you guys. 

The day started off with the laughter of bridesmaids as I walked into the room. As we walked in, the girls were just smiling and then I saw my bride Alison, looking so incredible and so excited for her wedding day. We weren’t there long before we drove to Rolling Road Country Club where Alex and Alison shared a first look on the golf course. Followed by photos with family and wedding party, their photo segment ended with us all in golf carts cruising the property, chasing light and beautiful locations.
