We LOVE shooting weddings and engagement sessions for siblings of past couples! We met Katie and Mitch 2 years ago at Megan and Seth’s wedding! What an awesome and fun wedding that was! When Katie and Mitch got engaged, they told us we were one of their first decisions…we were so excited to be the ones that get to be alongside their wedding day!

Yah! Congrats, you’re married! Caroline and Andrew were originally scheduled for a 2020 big wedding at the Pendry but decided to postpone their big day and still get married in 2020. They both got ready with family only at the Pendry and then headed to a Baltimore church where family and a small group of friends met them for a sweet ceremony. We were so excited to be able to be alongside them, even though their plans had changed and the day would look very different than originally planned. Caroline and Andrew, thank you for trusting us in the midst of crazy times and for still getting married and having us there to document it! We are so excited to be alongside you guys next year for part 2! It’s going to be awesome!

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.

What a session for the records! If there’s a couple who rocked their rainy day engagement session, it’s these two!

First off, I’d like to say that there wasn’t any rain in the forecast, or rather it was like 10% and not even on the radar, literally. Miranda and I made the call that we would go through with the session! We met them at the Pagoda at Patterson Park. We used to do sessions there ALL.THE.TIME… like in 2015… but for the last couple years none of our couples chose that location. We were pretty excited to return to that gem in Baltimore because 1) we obviously have gotten better over the years but 2) it meant something special to our couple.

Their dog Piper did awesome and although didn’t find the camera too friendly, she rocked her segments nonetheless.

Excited to share our first engagement session of Quarantine 2020!

Back in March, we wrapped up a Fells Point Engagement session for one of our couples days before heading out on a week long cruise. We needed a break, we needed time off before a crazy wedding season would be upon us. Little did we know it would be our last one in Baltimore for 2 months. Within hours of getting back into the nation, we would be one of the last boats to go to sea. We also didn’t know that 60 some days would pass between that Fells Point session, and this session. Say hello to engagement sessions during Quarantine.

To give you background, Kayleigh and Clark booked us at the very beginning the pandemic in Maryland for their 2021 wedding and they are amazing. They are also historic for us. They are the first engagement session we’ve had in the middle of a pandemic. They had to wait until we got approval from the city, and then they saw us in a very “nervous” state, something that most our couples don’t see. We love the chaos of wedding days, the uncertainty of wedding logistics even the planned ones, but throw government regulations into the mix, yikes. We wanted to law abide but we knew we were allowed to work too… ghost streets, and little traffic was just not normal so we felt free too to be creative and give these guys some shots we normally would not have gotten.
