We were really excited about sharing this company and their offerings because they do some pretty cool wedding party gifts. 

Many of our clients give gifts to their bridesmaids and groomsmen and Groovy Gifts sent one of them to us to take a look at. 

Last Friday, we had the honor of photographing Stephanie and Nick’s Wedding at Geneva Farms Golf Course in Jarrettsville. It was a beautiful week, leading up to a snowy/rainy mix of a day, but  that didn’t change attitudes!

We kicked off wedding season in Early March with a beautiful state-side wedding celebrating the marriage of Sai Rashmika & her groom, Venkat Sunil. We couldn’t be more excited to be apart of such a sweet celebration, with tons of kids, lots of dancing, and color galore!!

Erica and Jim got married last September on a beautiful day at Historic Londontown Gardens. It took us a while to get this up on the blog but it’s here at last! This wedding was featured on Bayside Bride, and we were honored!

Amber and Chris were so much fun to get to know. I met them at one of the expos last fall when their name was drawn as the winner. Amber and her mom, who was with her, were ecstatic. We unfortunately were already booked on their wedding day, but we still got to work with them for their free engagement session.

Bright lights on stage. The crowd below watching and waiting for the music to start. His band was getting ready. A few casual stares and looks. Christina’s heart fluttered. Eric was totally distracted. But the recording had to go on.

I just can’t stand it any longer! Josh and Nichele are not just clients but they are dear friends of ours. We are so honored to be their wedding photographers. I really wish I met Nichele like YEARS ago! She’s a babe. I’ve known Josh pretty much since he was like a little kid… oh wait, I was a little kid too!! Josh and his family moved to Baltimore when I was in middle school… so I’ve known him over half of my life. I have the honor of knowing Nichele because of Josh now. Nichele has become a dear friend to me (ever since we moved to Ellicott City and I feel like my social life is my phone and computer, but really haha). Patrick and I really value and appreciate their friendship.

This story for us started in a starbucks, where we met them, and said “they would be a great fit for us!”. Mario and Allison, we are thrilled to be your wedding photographers, but more than that, our newest friends. 🙂

Allison and Mario wanted their engagement session to be in Alexandria, VA.

We are so excited to share this wedding as the bride is one of my dear friends, bridesmaids, and a beauty. I’ve been rooting for Sarah and Chris for years and they finally tied the knot at a beautiful vineyard in Belleville, PA! Patrick and I love photographing love stories, especially the kind that are rooted in time and history.

This wedding makes me smile with each time I look at it. Love ya Sarah. So thankful I not only got to photograph your wedding and marriage to Chris, but I got to witness an awesome chapter of your beautiful and romantic novel.

Last Sunday, Patrick and I got to meet up with Lara + Brent… a cute cute couple who are Volleyball coaches at Stevenson University!

Lara and Patrick have known each other since 2004!! Lara reached out after seeing some of our recent work, and hired us for her and Brent’s engagement pictures!!

Since Volleyball is such a huge piece of their relationship, we did a volleyball inspired engagement session… and let me tell you, we had to get creative. There’s not much inspiration on pinterest for volleyball session… so it looks like we are creating it!!

Anyway, Brent + Lara were the cutest. We laughed a lot with them, had them try different poses given the parameters of lockers and volleyball nets. It was pretty fun! Here’s the summary of their engagement session. Patrick and I LOVED our time with them!
