Yah! This awesome October wedding is up on the blog today! And we couldn’t be more excited to share it! Hannah and Chris had a beautiful Hayfields country club wedding, a sister club to Turf Valley resort, with a stunning pond, spacious grounds and main club house. During the pandemic the club did renovations so the ballroom looked very different from when I was last there in 2014 photographing florals for Victoria Clausen.

Up on the blog today is Josh and Johnnas beautiful October Turf Valley Wedding! We are so excited to share this wedding for sooo many reasons! First off, Johnna’s family, parents and aunts and uncles are owners of Turf Valley. I jokingly say they all own Howard County… and they are some of the most incredible people. But beyond that, Johnna’s sister Nicole is one of my best friends in the industry and I’m so thankful for her friendship. When Nicole shared with me that her sister was engaged, I was sooo excited! I secretly hoped they would hire us, so when Josh and Johnna reached out, I was ecstatic! I love their families more than they know. A funny story before we dive in… back in 2014 when we went full-time as wedding photographers Turf Valley was on my bucket list of venues. I remember thinking… man, the day we photograph a wedding at Turf Valley, I will feel like I hit the lottery. The relationship we’ve cultivated in the last 10 years has brought great friendships, even with their catering staff and managers I feel like we can really create magic there and have the trust of the staff.

Ekk, this session I’m so excited to blog! First off, I met Johnna years ago through Turf Valley and her sister Nicole who is one of my good friends. Love her to pieces! When Nicole AND Johnna both reached out to tell me that Johnna and Josh wanted to hire us for their wedding, we were elated, and so honored. Our time with Josh and Johnna was soo much fun. I’m not sure if we liked their session more, or talking about life, houses, and hobbies over some amazing CPK food! They dominated their session, and there was a little hazieness in the air that made it dreamy, suspenseful and romantic! Johnna and Josh, we are so pumped for you! We are going to have the most fun day with you guys!
