We are so excited for Gemma and Sean’s engagement session to be live on the blog. These guys did amazing. They weren’t nervous and if anything they were excited to finally meet us in person. We were all excited to cruise around Baltimore city together. These guys were a three hour engagement session for us allowing us to do two locations with ample time to get them variety and beautiful segments. We started in Fells point up near Henderson’s Wharf and did the whole stretch in Fells Point ending up down past Bond Street! Before sunset we hopped in the car and headed over to Federal Hill starting at the marina at the Rusty Scupper where we would get classic Domino Sugar backdrops near the Ritz Carlton and then soon after get beautiful marina is with Baltimore skyline. We knew the sun was dropping fast so we headed up, and I mean we literally hiked Fed Hill from the bottom to get up to the corner. These guys are getting married at the Four Seasons next year so it was only appropriate to do a segment with the hotel in the background from Fed Hill. We finished their segment on the Fed Hill west side facing ravens stadium at the request of our groom. We’ve been getting the prettiest sunsets these days.

Yah! This post is long over due thanks to an insanely busy wedding season, but we are pumped to share it because it’s honestly so beautiful!

When we met Angela and Chris, we were so hopeful they would hire us. Angela and Chris, like us, are private school kids, that could have/should have met way before they did, but fate knew it would come to be. Our time with Angela and Chris was soo much fun. They trusted us as we requested to try a few new things in a location we shoot at a lot. I look at their photos and you wouldn’t even know where they were standing, or who was around, but what you can see are two really incredible people who are excited to get married!

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 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. 

When I think of a vibrant colorful engagement session, I’ll totally think about these two!

Maria and Shantanu are having an Indian/American fusion wedding next October 2020 and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this season of life with them.

Our time with them was super sweet… as a Locust Point couple living close to Under Armour, we felt it fitting to do their engagement session near “home” for these two. Patrick and I were excited about it because we realized in all our sessions, we’ve never done a shoot in Locust Point with one of our couples!

Talk about a cold engagement session… these guys were champs in the super super cold. We literally had Federal Hill to ourselves with Stephanie and Patrick as they rocked their session! Stephanie braved the cold with a gorgeous dress and beautiful fur wrap to both keep her warm but also to rock for fashion! 

Happy Tuesday! We are in the office busting out weddings and engagement sessions and in the thick of wedding season, we are behind on the blog! We literally have 8 weddings and 11 weddings to share with the world!! So, with that said, we are kicking off this week sharing Ben and Rachel!

These two lovebirds rocked their session. Spending time with them at Federal Hill with their sweet pup was great. You would have never thought that these guys were nervous… they were but it only lasted for a few minutes!

We can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year! 

Ropewalk Tavern is a historic part of Federal Hill. We actually had never been to it. We recently went to the one in Ocean City which is a super awesome family restaurant and bar up near 95th street in Ocean City, MD. 

John has been a manager at the Ropewalk Tavern for something like 8 or 10 years. He’s been there… forever. Everyone in Federal Hill knows him. When we shot John and Olivia’s engagement session, we ran into multiple people that knew them. 

I’ll never forget the inquiry I got from Stephanie and Tim for the first time they reached out to us. When the question “How did you find us?” came up, Stephanie said “We just stumbled upon you!”

This couple is the kind of couple we hope for, pray for, and get excited to work with. Not just because they “stumbled upon us” but also because they are fun, adventurous, sweet, light hearted, and when you’re with them, you feel like you’ve been friends for years.
