While we may still be catching up from the amazing 2021 year we had and the most weddings and engagement sessions we’ve ever shot in one year… we are sooo excited to share all the beauty we’ve encountered and shot over the last 4-6 months. Todays we are sharing Dana and Drew’s session. They wanted fall, a place their dog would love and a place that we loved to photograph. Centennial park is special to me, probably because of all the times I’ve been here both personally and professionally. Dana and Drew rocked their session. We had so much fun cruising all around the park, even after dark. They let us play with lighting and sunset and water. Dana and Drew, we are so excited to be alongside you guys in this season of life. Your day is going to be awesome! Enjoy the process! We are cheering you on!

This was such a fun session! First off, it was so pretty! The lighting for Margot and Ian’s session was nothing short of dreamy! We cruised all around the grounds at Cylburn arboretum. Margot and Ian were in town with her parents (and pup) and soon after their session they would drive back home to NY. I loved that her parents got to see us do our thing too! While we wish they lived closer, we know when we do see them, it’s going to be for their wedding! Margot and Ian, we are so excited for our time with you in 2023! Enjoy this season, it will go so fast, so soak up every moment you can!

We can’t believe we haven’t blogged this session! 2021 was insane with the volume of weddings and sessions we had… thanks to COVID and couples being forced to reschedule. BUT that didn’t stop us from photographing amazing sessions and couple!

Allie and Brian reached out soon after they booked us and made it known that they wanted their session at a Hot Air Balloon festival. In fact, I think that when we met them, they told us that and we put it on our calendar before they had even committed to us as their wedding photographers.

Yippee! Okay, so first off, this engagement session is a beauty… and two, these guys get married literally next Friday… not this Friday, but next! AHH! We just can’t wait!

Our time with Abbie and Ryan was so much fun. It was supposed to rain and it definitely did at the end of our time together. We literally were chasing overcast skies, praying for great opportunities and sure enough, God provided! These guys had some beautiful lighting, great backdrops, and not a hint of harsh sun. We cruised all around Fells Point! They let us try a double exposure with them, we even busted out the umbrella. At the end of our session, we hung out and ate tacos at Barcocina while it down poured.

Ashley and Joe had a super sweet session down in Old Town Alexandria. Joe has been overseas, so it was a reunion for all of us! Patrick and I loved getting to know these two and our time together was so much fun, but oh my gosh, talk about HOT. These guys may have been one of our hottest engagement sessions to date, and they absolutley crushed their session. We cruised all around downtown, took them to some of our favorite spots but also found adventure and new locations. Our time ended at a really awesome restaurant where we got to share more life and talk a little about wedding! Ashley and Joe, we are so excited to be alongside you guys and can’t wait to see what’s to come!

Yah for dogs and super cute couples! First off, I love our engagement sessions because most of them take us places we’ve never been before. For Steph and John, Piney Run State Park is super special to them, as John proposed on a hike to the back of the park… they said it would not disappoint so we of course said, let’s go and took a long hike!

We hiked back with them, their sweet pup, and Steph’s mom too! We loved our time with them. I especially loved that John grabbed a lotus flower without question when he was near one on a log so we could style her engagement ring! We loved getting to know them and can’t wait for their wedding next April!

I am soo excited to share this season. I’m probably excited to share this session mostly because this was our first time back at Loyola College with our new camera gear, at golden hour, with a beautiful couple!

Malorie and Neil had a killer session and sunset showed up with a show stopper sunset. These guys are awesome, trusted us to venture all around! As college grads on property they shared some things that were different since they were last there, and lead us to where we’d find sunset, and boy did we find it.

Yah! I am so excited to share this engagement session, probably because it involves a super sweet baby named Beck! Aubrie and Tim are actually already married, thanks to COVID, but they will be really official this fall when they get married in front of witnesses, family and friends, and of course the cutest little boy!

Our time with Aubrie and Tim was so much fun. I probably helps that we have little kids too cause an photo shoot is no joke for little kids. Some do great, others don’t. But this little guy did sooo good. As I write this I don’t think he cried once!

Love stories grow with time, and so for these co-workers, love grew at work! Caroline and John were teachers that met at Dundalk high school over 5 years ago. Their love grew as the school had events and they happened to keep signing up for the same ones. It just made sense to start spending life together.

Caroline and John’s wedding was fun, intentional and playful. The day started off with the bridal party getting ready where the girls and guys were laid back drinking champagne and playing cards. Caroline got ready at Eagles Nest alongside her mom and bridesmaids.

We were so excited to shoot with Christina and Jeremy at Longwood Gardens! Let me first say that Christina is the third sister in a family. We had photographed the other 2 sisters weddings, Amanda and Melissa, and we couldn’t be more excited to be photographing her wedding in January. Jeremy, we are so pumped you’re marrying into that family, they are amazing as you already know.
