I mean there’s just so much… the day was awesome. We left their day feeling so fulfilled. They might go down in history as the most family photos we’ve taken in a day but they may go down also as the best families… attentive, receptive and on time for photo segments! The florals are always a favorite for me. Can’t get enough. And Sami’s gown… OMG… Haley Paige, and the bridesmaids… Sami crushed it. What Sami picked out for her babes… they all looked incredible!

Yah! This wedding has been delivered and they love their photos! And I have to say, we do too! When we met Steph and John, we just knew that they would be one of those couples that would have an awesome wedding day, be excited for the full experience of the day, but also trust us to do what we love and are good at. The whole day was wonderful. These two opted not to do a first look which allowed us to do a lot of their separates on the front end of the day. Steph shared a really sweet reveal with her dad. John gave Stephanie a photo album… like a custom one and it was so sentimental. One of my favorite details from their day was including their dog on socks as well as signature drinks. Oh, and Steph wore cowboy boots!

I’m pretty excited to share this gallery with the world today! Lindsay and Jay are one of our 2020 Covid couples who did not only reschedule their big wedding but also had a wedding with family and friends in the summer of 2020. I had the honor of meeting Karen and her daughter Lindsay and fiance Jay last summer when I went and did photos for them at their home. We knew we were in for a good time with this family.

The day started and ended at the beautiful Rosewood Farms in Elkton Maryland. We’ve had the honor and privilege of shooting at this venue multiple times and it’s definitely worth the trip every single time. The staff is always incredible and I think the feelings are mutual how much we like them and they like us.

Lindsay and Jay got ready surrounded by a beautiful group of bridal party members. I especially loved it they included their dog Bunny on their wedding day both in newlywed pictures and in her own little segment. Their bridal party was super fun and ready to party. The day flew by for us. Some of our favorite details and moments are the day are the sweet surprises from the brides parents. A champagne cart and a hotdog late night snack cart.

Happy new year! This wedding was so eventful and exciting as it was our first wedding of 2021. While it may have been a small wedding with only 20 people it was a full wedding day for us. Our team as long with our cinema team spent over 10 hours with Kayleigh and Clark and their families. We were so excited to work alongside Social Graces Events planning team for the first time and their work did not disappoint. With a beautiful design aesthetic in place Kayleigh and Clark definitely had a winter wonderland. I think one of my favorite parts of this wedding was the fact that they closed out and ended their wedding with the last song being all I want for Christmas is you. Everyone was rocking out on the floor, parents, siblings and the bridal party that was in attendance. With the dusty blue beautiful color palette the details were gorgeous. The ceremony install was one of my favorites to date as well. Kayleigh and Clark, you guys were our first 2021 couple and we are so glad you were. If you remember, you were also the first engagement session we shot after months of being shutdown. We shot their engagement session only about a week or a couple days after the restriction was lifted and the streets of Fells Point were very empty. We were so pumped these guys still got married on their original wedding date despite all the unknowns of the pandemic. Kayleigh and Clark we are so excited for you guys in your future. We hope that this year is full of life, joy, and success!

We met Candice and Nick at a bridal expo at Rosewood Farms in late 2019 right before anyone knew a pandemic was headed this way. Candice and Nick are a genuine, sweet, and just down to earth couple that we could easily find ourselves staying friends with for years to come. Candice and Nick postponed their June 2020 wedding to December 2020 and decided to have their wedding regardless of people count. They knew they just wanted to be married, have family and friends present, and they did.

We had beautiful weather in November and this wedding takes the cake for prettiest lighting of the year! Alex and JP had an incredible day. We were so excited that they could get married and have a lot of their friends and family present. The day was surreal for many reasons. The decor and details of the day was gorgeous. The vendor team was amazing and the couple was a dream. JP was nothing short of the best groom you could imagine. A week before his wedding, he lost his mom to cancer. Her presence was felt there as the day went because the joy I heard she had was unparalleled and the day was nothing short of joyful. We loved watching the joy and sweetness our couple had for each other. From a sweet first look, to an Uber fun bridal party to a super fun reception, we felt like we were in 2019 again shooting weddings! Covid or not, these two were going to make the most of their day even with certain restrictions in place.

JP and Alex, thank you for including us in an amazing day! We can’t wait for what 2021 has for you and the years to come!
