This October wedding day was sooo beautiful and so fun to photograph. I’ve known Jon a long time and so being able to shoot this wedding was really fun and special! Throughout the day, you could just tell how much fun Alex and Jon were having. Even though the morning was spent in separate locations, when the two of them met up for their first look, it was really a first look and both of them had such a blast together. The rest of the day was full of laughter, sweet memories, dancing. Although COVID had an impact on their day and guest count, you would have never known because the wedding was still so special, so memorable and ultimately unforgettably fun.

We were so excited when Shannon and Rob told us that they were still planning to have their October 2020 wedding. Shannon and Rob were our very first engagement session of 2020 right before Covid came to town. That session was beautiful and you should totally check it out.

Their wedding day was so much fun. The morning started with all the girls and guys getting ready at a local hotel. I remember walking into the hotel lobby and I could hear her giggling coming from a conference room a few doors from the lobby. Upon walking into that room the girls were beaming with smiles. Shannon looks so rested and excited for the day. Patrick meet Rob soon after at the venue to find him beaming as well. If there’s one thing we remember about meeting these guys it was how sweet and smiley they were not just with each other but just talking about their wedding and their plans. Prior to the ceremony Shannon shared a first look with her dad. That exchange was sweet and tender. Proud might be a better word choice for his view of his daughter on her wedding day. Shannon and Rob chose not to do a first look which I thought was so special. Patrick and I did a first look when we got married so whenever any of our couples opt not to do a first look, it resonates with us. Rob’s reaction of seeing Shannon was just so special. Long await and anticipated.

When we pulled up to the house I was like, I love this place. Our engagement session with Brittany and Darryl was a family affair. Her parents invited us in, showed us around. For all the LOST lovers out there, the house used to be owned by John Locke. It was like a castle, meets […]

I’ve known Emily Williams back when I was in middle school and I was still a Hoffman, and she was a Meeks. Emily and I both have become wives, business owners, and friends, in that order. 🙂

Emily and her husband, Tom, have a sweet sweet family. Her little girls are precious… I’ve official been invited over by them for hot chocolate, I can’t wait! Naomi and Eliana are my new buds.

On a chilly, windy blustery day, we all ventured to downtown Baltimore for a Fells Point Photoshoot! Family style!! The girls were bundled, blankets and all, and their little guy, Xavier, was an absolute champ!

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!

We are excited to post this blog post because this was officially, our first newborn shoot!

Maggie met Tim and Katie at a bonfire at her house almost a year ago. They were introcuded through Maggie’s good friend, Katie M. A little over 2 weeks, Tim and Katie became first time parents, to Jack!
