Ya! This session was such a fun one! Sami and Rob are getting married at Renault Winery in New Jersey next year. They were guests at a wedding we shot in 2021 in Pennsylvania and loved our personalities and of course Josh and Alyssa‘s wedding gallery.

This session is one of those that are super fun for us to share. Stephanie and Rick are special to us for a lot of reasons. Stephanie is the sister of one of my brides, Ashley, and was the maid of honor. She did an incredible job for her sisters wedding and I won’t forget when we met, by the end of the night, I secretly hoped that she would be calling us for her wedding! Sure enough, she did, and we were too pumped! Rick is sweet and fun, and loves his dogs, loves his flip-flops and good food. Pretty much like Patrick does, so they paired well all day long. Stephanie and Rick… your day is coming soon… we can’t wait to be alongside you guys! It’s gonna be awesome!

I am sooo excited to share photos from Jasmine and Brian’s Baltimore themed engagement session! They are big Ravens fans and Orioles fans, so we met outside the Baltimore Ravens stadium and worked our way around town. They were so much fun and happy to walk around the city to be able to shoot at spots that had important memories for them. Luckily, the Orioles had a night game, so in the morning we were able to shoot at both sides of the stadium with no people around. The Marriott Camden Yards is the host hotel for their wedding, so Jasmine was excited to have the stadium photos to print for the weekend festivities. After the Orioles stadium, we walked over to Pratt Street Ale House where they are considering having their welcome party, and did some fun shots there. It was bright, but we were able to find shade and make the most of it! We finished at the Inner Harbor waterfront, where no shoot is complete without a photobomb from the pirate ship. We decided we were done, so I took Jasmine’s ring for a photo, and when I turned around, Brian was over at Rita’s collecting the perfect end to an engagement session – ice cream! So of course we needed to shoot a few more while they enjoyed some soft serve and laughed together. Thanks for a great session, Jasmine and Brian, I am so excited to capture your special day this fall!!

Aww yah! Okay, so I’m just going to be straight to the point. I love this session for a lot of reasons.

1. They have a little guy named Quinn who I could just eat up he’s so sweet and cute! I love when couples include their babies and or furbabies!

2. Dinner afterwards was awesome… thanks Keegan for bearing with us as we navigated options! LOVED the thai food we got.

3. It was coooollllddd. Like not kidding, like we could not feel our fingers or hands. We had to all take thaw breaks. I didn’t love that…BUT what I LOVED was that the two sucked it up, did they session and looked sexy even in the cold. And baby Quinn, didn’t even cry.., what!!? What a champion baby!

4. And lastly, the outfits. I loved what outfits they choose!

Kathryn and Keegan, thanks for trusting us, with the day, your son, and even meeting your parents was so awesome! We can’t wait for your day!

What a cold session but Hannah and Nick did awesome! And so did their dog!

We met Hannah and Nick at Centennial Park about two hours before sunset. We knew where we wanted to take them and knew we were chasing daylight. The park had a lot of construction so our normal route had to be ditched and these two had to trust us as we drove throughout the park. Hannah and Nick, you guys did awesome! We are so excited to get to know you more and can’t wait for your wedding!

Dang, this is a bittersweet wedding for me. Not because of the couple, but because of the memories associated with this couple and their families. I met Christina back in 2017 at her sisters wedding. Amanda and Rob were the first couple to get married. Amanda is one of 3 sisters. Christina is the oldest, followed by Amanda and then Melissa. Melissa and Jon got married 2 years later, and we were asked again by this family to photograph their wedding day. We of course were honored and didn’t hesitate. Then 2 years later, Christina and Jeremy. How freakin’ awesome.

Ohh yah! Okay, so this is a really cold weather but beautiful session! Lauren reached out to me via Instagram and then we made our excitement a reality and Lauren and Nick booked me for their engagement session in Fells Point. These guys did awesome! While it was windy, chilly and hands eventually got too cold to do anything, these guys totally had fun together. Lauren and Nick, thanks for meeting me downtown and cruising around with me for your session. We are so excited for you and hope you enjoy every minute of this season!

What a fun session this was for us. Black Ankle Vineyards is special to our couple and it was only fitting for us to cruise their property alongside our couple Stephanie and Karl!

These two dominated their session. We wanted to incorporate any details that meant something to them, so we used Stephanie’s beautiful oval ring, some wine, glasses and the beautiful aesthetic of the property.

Stephanie and Karl, we are so pumped to spend more time with you and be alongside you guys. Thanks for sharing food and pizza with us at dinner. We loved getting to know you both!

Yah! We love a good engagement session adventure! Hannah and Chris’ session was everything spontaneous that a session could have. We met these lovebirds down on the property of their grandmother on the water in East Baltimore. The view was incredible. But upon arriving, we knew that in the next 2 hours, we would want to get them a lot of variety. So out the gate, we literally told them they had no choice but to hop in our car and we would find what their vision was. So not only did we fulfill what was in their head for photos but we got to take them on a wild “location unknown” trip for 2 hours around that part of Maryland. We went until we had no light and ended up sitting at dinner at Shultz’ Crab House (one of our favorites) in Essex eating crab bisque! Thanks for trusting us Chris and Hannah! Can’t wait to be alongside you!

Oooo, this is such a sweet vow renewal to share today!

Alex and Jon got married in 2020 with family and friends but it was small and intimate. They had postponed their large wedding to 2021 and asked us to come alongside them yet again to document a beautiful day as they renewed their vows in front of those unable to attend their 2020 ceremony. We had a lot of time with them, cruising the grounds of Hunt Valley Country Club. It was lovely and beautiful. Their reception was fully of dancing, their first dance witnessed by all and really yummy food and desert. Jon and Alex, thanks for trusting us with yet another momentous occasion in your life. We are so excited for you, proud of you for planning not 1 but 2 weddings in the middle of a pandemic. We wish you the absolute best!
