O.M.G…. can we just stop and say…. Jenn and Brent got FALLLLLLLL engagement photos. As ya’ll know, this has been such a wet year and the weather is having an identity crisis. We had literally rescheduled Brent and Jenn a few times because of weather and other scenarios and we just lucked out with the weather and the coloration for their day! It wasn’t and shouldn’t have been so colorful, but it was and we aren’t complaining.

Jenn and Brent, we absolutely loved our time with you. It doesn’t help that we are biased towards these two for 2 reasons. Brent works for an amazing Ellicott City realtor and happens to know Patrick’s cousin pretty well. And Jenn works for us part time and is a killer dancer!

Internet, meet Christy and Josh! We met these guys because of a series of relationships and what a sweet wedding day they had and GORGEOUS weather. Some of our personal highlights of their day was Christy’s reveal in front of her dad, our time with them during their newlywed portrait time, watching her dad and her rock out during their father/daughter dance, her 90 year old grandma dancing, and a really sweet toast from her maid of honor. Oh and how awesome… Christy is wearing her mom’s veil! I love that!

Clark and Casey met in SAT class at their high school, Archbishop Spalding, in the summer of 2006. Little did Casey know the funny kid in the bright orange hat would turn out to be the love of my life!  Their first date was to Downtown Annapolis that summer, and since then they have had many, many more in that beautiful location! It will forever be a special place for them.  After high school they spent their college years on opposite sides of Pennsylvania, Clark at St. Vincent College, and Casey at York College of Pennsylvania.  They discovered that distance truly makes the heart grow fonder, and their love only continued to grow deeper. College came and went and the day finally came that they were both back in Maryland for good! Then, on October 29th, 2014, Clark popped the question, and of course Casey said yes!  As best friends they are thrilled to be spending life together… November can’t come soon enough!

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.

Horses. Barns. Fences. Sunshine and some rain. Cornfields and kisses. Perfection.

Sunshine. Water. A slight breeze. A red truck. Fishing poles. Shot gun shells. Love it.

Christina and Matt helped us with our November wedding. Christina was one of our day of coordinators… she picked up my bouquet, helped with all things ceremony the morning of the wedding, and came the day before to work as well. She did so much. And Matt, thanks for chainsawing all those wood pieces from your wood forest for our centerpieces… they will be great for bonfires this summer when you guys come over!

As a thank you, we wanted to bless them and give them something to have for years! They never got engagement pictures done, so we thought an anniversary shoot was fitting for these two… they are adorable and I’m pretty sure they fell in love all over again on Saturday.

Uncle John turned 60 and we celebrated! Aunt Terrie and her siblings threw a great party for him under the tent! Here’s a sweet and short recap of this wonderful night!
