Super excited to share this wedding with you all as I’ve been cheering Erin and Frank on since I met them almost 3 years ago in July when they took a cute picture on IG in front of our 4th of July parade float and tagged us in it! We are sooo bummed we can’t join them in Mexico for their destination wedding, but when these lovebirds asked me to shoot their stateside wedding, I of course said Yes. These two are champions (well literally too cause they are fitness models and win all the time at their competitions) but beyond that, they are sweet, amazing, sooo kind and totally in love. Like the kind dreams are made of! Erin and Frank, Patrick and I are sooo excited for what’s ahead for you. We think the world of you and can’t wait to see what unfolds for you. And you know I’ll be stalking your Mexico wedding so be sure to have someone IG’ing all the behind the scenes of your incredible day! xo

What a day you had! One of our favorites from October. We were looking forward to this wedding so much. After a really fun engagement session with these two at the beach we knew the day would whole lots of surprising moments and tons of laughter. Turf Valley is such a cool venue because of the ceremony space in the variety of reception ballrooms. These guys had a beautiful first look out in front of trees that were fiery orange and had already changed into beautiful fall colors. The first look was amazing… Tyler was nervous and so excited to see his bride Kaity was in a gorgeous Kleinfeld dress and so excited to walk and see her man. Once they saw each other the rest of the day was pure fun. These two together crack me up. They are both sweet with each other honest and playful. As soon as we added the bridal party and it was quite the day. So much laughter inappropriate jokes made and photos to prove it.

Kelsey and Matt were one of our mid October weddings and we couldn’t be more excited to share this Turf Valley wedding with you!

Kelsey and Matt were such an amazing couple to work with. We knew the day would be fast and furious with a ceremony ending really close to sunset. But for us, if just meant that there would be strategic and beautiful photos for this couple.

I am so excited for this fall 2020, Living Radiant has some beautiful weddings coming up! For me, I can’t wait for this October wedding because my groom, Jon, is a friend from college! We went to Towson University together almost SEVEN YEARS ago! Oh, how the time flies! While we both stayed local to the area, luckily, and I was so thankful he called when he wanted to propose to his super sweet girlfriend, Alex! You can catch that sweet moment here!

These two dated in Old Ellicott City and had their first kiss in Old Ellicott City, so it was fitting to do their photos in Old EC. Unfortunately, EC isn’t the same as it used to be, so we had to venture around and find hidden beauty in the rubble. Thanks so much Lauren and Kyle for allowing us to move about, see what we could do with limited locations in a super cute town. This town means a lot to all 4 of us and we are so glad we got to spend time getting to know each other in a town we all love. Oh and that Manor Hill Tavern… we’ve gotta go back and order enough food to have left overs. Clearly we were hungry the first time haha. And Holy Smoke… what a good one. Guys, we can’t wait for your wedding in December! It’s gonna be here so so soon!

It was so great to meet Laura and Kurt at the Living Radiant office a few months ago! They are the sweetest couple, their wedding to be focused on their family and friends. When it got time to plan their engagement session, Laura said she really wanted it to feel like fall! Well, fall came late this year and with all of the rain we had to reschedule until we could find a perfect day with the perfect colors! We met at one of my favorite places, Patapsco State Park. There is so much variety there, from bridges to the river to even train tracks. It’s always one of our favorites. Luckily, the weather was great that day and we were able to find some beautiful fall-like places to shoot! We even spotted a part of the track that was shared with a family of deer. Check out their pictures below and stay tuned for their wedding this summer! Can’t wait!
