Yah! Up on the blog today is Jeanette and Ryan’s engagement session at Centennial Park! We were excited to have these guys book us! They get married this year (2024!!) on November 2, which some of you know is our wedding anniversary!  Patrick and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary last fall 2023 so […]

We’re thrilled to showcase Dayana + Nick’s elopement on the blog today! This sweet couple allowed us the honor of capturing their intimate ceremony, which unfolded in the charming gazebo at Brookside Gardens. Nick looked dapper in a handsome blue suit, while Dayana looked absolutely stunning in a sleeveless fitted dress with a long train […]

I am so excited, maybe the most excited this year in writing a blog post. This whole day, this couple, this bride (who is my friend!) is so special to me. But in order to understand why and who this blog post is about, let me take you back in time and tell a story! […]

Yah! I’m so excited to share this session! These guys are our last wedding of 2022 and we are so pumped that they are the ones closing out our calendar! When we met up with them for their session, we knew were were going to have a blast. We had an hour to get as much variety as possible since we had so many ideas and places we wanted to take them in Old Ellicott City. Jenna and Scott met through work and were inseparable… very much like their session. They make each other smile and come alive. I LOVED Jenna’s dress… so much that I actually have it in navy! Now I have to go get mine altered cause she made it look so good! We took them from the bottom of the hill, almost to the top and wrapped up right around the new Mason Jar milkshake bar and La Palapas! Too bad it was closed by the time we finished up, so we walked over to La Palapa where we spent a couple hours just hanging out! Jenna and Scott, we are soo excited to be alongside you guys documenting your story, family, people, and love. Thanks for choosing us and trusting us!!

What is super super couple and wedding day! Christy and Tom had a beautiful wedding at the Turf Valley Resort. Amazing weather day with overcast skies, big puffy clouds and sunshine.

Upon arriving to Turf Valley and the suites, there was nothing but smiles. Patrick found the guys laughing and joking around, while Maggie found the girls giggling and giddy for what would come throughout the day. The girls looked incredible! Fun details and a killer makeup/hair team, Christy was show stopping.

Patrick and I got our couple ready for their first look out in the gardens. The encounter was epic… Tom was so pumped to see Christy and she just beamed. After a handful of photos, the bridal party and family would shortly meet us to cruise the property and do some great segments. We had our fingers crossed that the water wouldn’t come on while we were out on the course taking photos! Thankfully they never came on!

If there was one couple this year that I had to say was the most daring… it would be these two. The decision was made for an outdoor ceremony fully knowing that the radar was showing rain. Everything was wet and damp, overcast, a little gray, but you would never know from photos. You know why… because we LOVE a good partly cloudy, overcast day. It’s the BEST lighting for head to toe even light, a phrase and method we aim for with every wedding we shoot.

What I thought was so neat about this wedding was that this was a destination wedding for these two. No one in their families are from Maryland or even live in Maryland. In fact, most of the bridal party and family flew in or drove in for this wedding. We didn’t realize that until half way through speeches when we figured out that no one was from the area. These two were supposed to get married on the 4th of July but due to COVID decided to postpone the wedding. We were so excited to be alongside these guys along with our film team so we were pretty thrilled to go into this day ready and excited. Something else special about this wedding for us is that Kari, the wedding planner, is one of our past brides! SO that was really cool to be able to work alongside her. She knows how we roll and together we were able to help the day roll seamlessly and beautifully!

Stone ridge Hollow is a beautiful venue we had never shot there. We were so excited to shoot there because we had heard so many great things about the property. So much variety so many places to take killer photos of our couple. Some of my favorite moments of the day was Trevor seeing Stephanie for the first time. I got emotional when Stephanie’s dad walked in for the first time and saw her fully complete head to toe and again as a bride.

Caitlin and Joe had such a beautiful wedding. Everyone was concerned about the rain they were calling for and the timing could not have been better. Caitlin and Joe lucked out… the rain literally came at the end of their outdoor ceremony at Glen Allen Farm. In our minds, it was an incredible day, the kind we pray and wish for. Overcast skies all day for even soft lighting for photos and then at the end of the night, Umbrella Night shots under a sky of rain.

We’ve never done this and we thought it would be awesome to share. We get a lot of compliments on our work and our personalities and our professionalism, so we figured it would be appropriate to share some of our 2018 Behind the Scenes to show the not so glamorous part of our job… some embarrassing and some hilarious… What an amazing year we had, we hope you had an incredible 2018 too.
