Our first wedding of October is live!! Margot and Ian, we are so excited to share this with you and for you to share it with those you love and care about! This wedding for us was so neat. There were so many aspects of this day that just made it fun, personal, and of course, totally Baltimore! Let’s just start out with the fact that the entire day was spent waterfront. Margot and Ian got ready alongside family and wedding party at the Ritz Carlton condos in Fells Point in private rooms.

This wedding pretty much sums up a Baltimore wedding. The whole day was spent in different parts of Baltimore, from Fells, to Federal Hill, to Fort McHenry and more. It even includes a water taxi adventure, an outdoor ceremony on the water and a reception under the lights outside overlooking Baltimore. Miranda and Curt had such an awesome day. 

Today up on the blog, we are sharing Brittany and Joe’s beautiful American Visionary Art Museum Wedding! These two had such a full and fun day with some of the best variety of photos we’ve gotten at Loyola Chapel and AVAM. Some of my favorites of the day include the trolley that the girls rode in together to their ceremony and that the bridal party cheered in front of upon arrival at AVAM. I loved the first look between Brittany and her dad and when her brothers saw her for the first time, they were soo sweet and got emotional! She gifted her dad custom cufflinks with a photo of her as a baby and her handwriting. 

Yahh! This wedding is so fun for us to post. Let’s first start off saying that is was our first full greek traditional wedding we’ve photographed. But beyond that, everything in the day was amazing. The day started off with the wedding party and families getting ready at the Four Seasons hotel. We had gorgeous details and monogrammed goodness, we had so much fun photographing their personals.

Angela’s mom dressed her and Chris’ brother and dad helped him. With reveals with bridesmaids, dad and moms, these two went into their first look giddy, excited and anticipating the best! When Chris turned to see Angela, it was amazing. The nerves left and the two of them giggled, hugged and kissed and they both just admired each other. Within minutes a surprise showed up, their sweet dog. We love when fur babies show up to wedding days so we made sure to get those pics. Since our almost newlyweds opted for a first look, we were able to get all their iconic photos on the front end of the day! Wedding party and family were amazing to work with and we got to church on time and ready to get these two married. I loved the Greek ceremony with all its customs and important moments. Soon after announcing them as husband and wife, a bubble send-off with all guests as they cheered and celebrated our newlyweds! We surprised these guys with some drone photos since the church building was soo neat… a bucket list church to shoot at!

We are so excited to share this wedding with you all! Alyssa and Prashant got married at the beautiful Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel! This couple is a power duo, just incredible people. Very kind and their guests were even kinder. They had the best of both worlds with two ceremonies to bind their family traditions together.

When I think of Maria and Shantanu, I have so so many amazing memories. Let’s start off with how we met Maria. It was our first time doing the Four Seasons bridal show, and we met Maria and really hit it off. Little did we know that she and Shantanu would hire us, I get an email from her wedding planner basically saying “you’re hired” and they want to get things moving. We were sooo excited. Probably me more than Patrick at first only because upon finding out that Shantanu was Indian, and I lived in India for a month, crave Indian food all the time, and even own a few Saris, I knew we were in for a beautiful wedding. We did their engagement photos in Baltimore and LOVED our time with them, so much that the 4 of us closed Little Havana and were there for 4-5 hours hanging out post their session. And then COVID hit in March of 2020 and they moved their big weddings to 2021 and 2022. They decided to have their ceremony at their favorite Baltimore brewery, which they asked us to come photograph and we were sooo glad they did!

To date we’ve rescheduled 27 weddings in our company between all our teams which I just find insane. So much has been robbed from our couples from Covid and government restrictions. But I have to say, in the midst of the uncertainty and chaos, we seriously have the most incredible stories and couples. Here’s one of them.

We met Maria at the Four Seasons bridal show last year and knew that her and Shantanu would be one of our favorite weddings of 2020. They would have a beautiful 3 day Indian wedding on our calendar and we were pumped to shoot it. I told them at our engagement session that I may have been a little more excited about Indian food and culture because I spent a month in India in college and loved it. Over the last few months we’ve gotten closer to these guys.

I’m so excited to share this session today! This was our last Baltimore engagement session before all this craziness happened with COVID and stay at home orders. It was days before we left for our cruise and I actually think like the day or 2 before these cuties drove south to Florida to move into their new home!

Bridget and Jake had a great Fells Point sunrise engagement session. They battled through a really cold session! We took a break and got coffee and hot chocolate right before an outfit change! Getting to know these guys and watching them be sweet and giggle while all our of hands were soo cold… it was just the best. We are pretty excited to be shooting their 2020 wedding later this year!

Our first engagement of the 2020 year has happened and we are sooo glad it was Shannon and Rob! I jokingly said, “we’re a little rusty” because it had been 3 days since our last wedding of 2019. We all laughed. 

Shannon and Rob are the cutest! They really didn’t have a set location they wanted to shoot at so we proposed a few ideas and we ended up heading into Baltimore the first week of January into Harbor East to rock their session all around the Inner Harbor. We cruised and covered so much land in a short amount of time. Shannon’s outfit was soo cute (LOVED the black dress) and the weather was supposed to rain so the overcast skies allowed for some beautiful backdrops and lighting. 

Shannon and Rob, you guys crushed it… AND even though you tota
