I always tell people “Anyone can go to the top of Federal Hill, it’s free!” But here’s the thing… when it’s your home or your backyard, heck ya, you shoot there! 

Krissy and DJ found us online, maybe google, maybe IG, but there’s one thing that’s for sure, when we met these guys, there was no denying this would be such a great match. When we meet with couples we try really hard not to make it like an interview, because it’s awkward for all of us… just like the start of all our engagement sessions. 

Tom and Caitlin had a classic and elegant wedding downtown in Fells Point! They had an intimate ceremony in Catonsville at St. Hilda’s Episcopal Church (formerly St. Timothy’s) where Caitlin’s mom got married at years ago! We were even able to recreate her parents’ favorite wedding photo at the church’s door. 

Korinna and Dustin kicked off our fall 2019 wedding season. We had 22 wedding left in 5 months and couldn’t wait to get rolling with amazing fall weddings.

Our morning with these guys was awesome. We took the limo to the naval academy where family watched and cheered on. Once they had seen each other, Patrick and i cruised all over the campus with our almost married couple and their wedding party. The beauty of first looks is the majority of photos are done on the front end. We did have to spend some more time after ceremony too because there was a huge orientation at the rotunda and Korinna really wanted photos there. We made sure to get them, it would just be a couple hours later. Korinna and Dustin had a gorgeous naval academy wedding. The chapel is just amazing and it’s run so well by their coordinators. After they were married, a sword arch in the stairs commenced right as the skies opened up! Honestly, it looked so cool and only lasted a couple minutes. Thankfully we got back to the rotunda for a newlywed photo segment. 

Alyssa and Prashant did so well at their Fell’s Point engagement session a few weeks ago! They really took our engagement session style guide to heart, and came dressed to the nines! Prashant, our fashion king, even had custom cufflinks and a custom embroidered shirt! 

What an awesome session this was! We’d like to say that it’s pretty obvious that Jessica and Jon feel 100% comfortable with each other and they are the ones to put each other at ease, not us. As Fells Point locals, they really wanted their session to capture their love story and so choosing Fells Point for their e-session was a no brainer.

For those of you who know Patrick and I, we limit our fights to 1 a wedding. We are both stubborn, both passionate and opinionated… me more than him. It’s because we care so much about our couples and their day and we both want to ensure we get soooo much goodness from the day! This day was epic. Amazing couple and amazing bridal party, amazing overall Baltimore goodness.

We’ve been friends with these guys for over a year and a half as they hired us pretty soon after getting engaged. Which is so crazy when wedding day actually came about beause we felt like we just were part of the event and their crew which made our job so smooth with Jenn and James and their whole family and day.

Your day started out amazing with incredible friends alongside you, 3 amazing men of honor, a tribe of babes next to them, and a group of men that loved to dance alongside Brent. Everything about your wedding was totally you and Brent. From a cookie cake with ballet slipper and Sneaker (you two and your shoes…. Well mainly Brent). Your dance team coming to support you, your dad giving one of the best speeches we’ve heard (made me cry) and watching you beam through sun and shade, was probably my most favorite. Oh an when you told me you were getting hot and my reply was “Ok, Great.” Jenn you know me so well. I wanted your photos to be incredible. I’m partial to you Jenn, I love you so much, I’m so happy for you and Brent, and can’t wait to see you guys again. Please come play and hang out and just be. Like you said in your text message and letter to me… our babies will play together as we laugh and enjoy the days to come.

When we finish a session and it didn’t feel like work, you know you found a dream couple. Stephanie and Trevor nailed their session. I know part of the ease comes from the fact that we’ve known these guys for a long time. Like over 15 years!!

Where do we even start with this wedding and this couple. Our relationship with Rosalie and Jon started early, and when we say early, we mean when we all got up at sunrise for a beautiful sunrise DC session. We had a blast together and knew that when wedding day came, it would be not just fun, but really just a great day.
