When Brenda and I first talked on the phone, we knew we would be a good fit for each other. Our love for and attention to details is on point and mutual. Brenda reiterated how much she loved details and what this day meant for her and her husband. Backstory, they got married earlier this year but wanted to have an intimate and beautiful party to celebrate each other as well as bring family and friends together in what has been a difficult year for all. This two day event was lovely. Friday night was a beautiful cocktail party at their private home on the water in Baltimore city at the Ritz Carlton. Sushi, wraps, and cake were favorites along with the gorgeous sunset view of Baltimore. The next day, Brenda and Craig hosted a beautiful dinner party at the Pendry Hotel. We met our couple and cruised around the Pendry and the cobblestone streets of Fells Point for a newlywed segment, followed by a sweet cocktail hour with what looked like delicious horderves. Guests were invited to the family style long table for intimate conversations and dinner. Brenda and Craig, we are honored to have been alongside you for your wedding celebration weekend. We wish you both the best and a lifetime of love and happiness. xo

Ohh yah! Okay, so this is a really cold weather but beautiful session! Lauren reached out to me via Instagram and then we made our excitement a reality and Lauren and Nick booked me for their engagement session in Fells Point. These guys did awesome! While it was windy, chilly and hands eventually got too cold to do anything, these guys totally had fun together. Lauren and Nick, thanks for meeting me downtown and cruising around with me for your session. We are so excited for you and hope you enjoy every minute of this season!

Oh man super pumped to share this wedding today. Caroline and Andrew got married last year and we were able to document their smaller Beloved Wedding. Last year’s wedding was intimate as it was just the immediate families of both our bride and groom. But they postponed their big party at the Pendry to this year 2021 and OMG is was amazing. It was a packed day start to finish! These both got ready at the Pendry next to family and bridal parties. I especially loved that the girls did a champagne pop on the balcony of their suite. These two shared a really sweet look at the top of the red velvet staircase at the Pendry.

Yah! Congrats, you’re married! Caroline and Andrew were originally scheduled for a 2020 big wedding at the Pendry but decided to postpone their big day and still get married in 2020. They both got ready with family only at the Pendry and then headed to a Baltimore church where family and a small group of friends met them for a sweet ceremony. We were so excited to be able to be alongside them, even though their plans had changed and the day would look very different than originally planned. Caroline and Andrew, thank you for trusting us in the midst of crazy times and for still getting married and having us there to document it! We are so excited to be alongside you guys next year for part 2! It’s going to be awesome!

Yah!! Screw COVID! Stephanie and Nate were going to get married, COVID or not. These cuties were supposed to get married at M&T Bank Ravens stadium with an awesome reception but made the decision to do an intimate ceremony at the Pendry Hotel in Fells Point when they found out that their venue was not yet open for weddings. We were excited to be able to be part of their day and document it, but also because we hadn’t shot a wedding there yet!

Excited to share our first engagement session of Quarantine 2020!

Back in March, we wrapped up a Fells Point Engagement session for one of our couples days before heading out on a week long cruise. We needed a break, we needed time off before a crazy wedding season would be upon us. Little did we know it would be our last one in Baltimore for 2 months. Within hours of getting back into the nation, we would be one of the last boats to go to sea. We also didn’t know that 60 some days would pass between that Fells Point session, and this session. Say hello to engagement sessions during Quarantine.

To give you background, Kayleigh and Clark booked us at the very beginning the pandemic in Maryland for their 2021 wedding and they are amazing. They are also historic for us. They are the first engagement session we’ve had in the middle of a pandemic. They had to wait until we got approval from the city, and then they saw us in a very “nervous” state, something that most our couples don’t see. We love the chaos of wedding days, the uncertainty of wedding logistics even the planned ones, but throw government regulations into the mix, yikes. We wanted to law abide but we knew we were allowed to work too… ghost streets, and little traffic was just not normal so we felt free too to be creative and give these guys some shots we normally would not have gotten.

I’m so excited to share this session today! This was our last Baltimore engagement session before all this craziness happened with COVID and stay at home orders. It was days before we left for our cruise and I actually think like the day or 2 before these cuties drove south to Florida to move into their new home!

Bridget and Jake had a great Fells Point sunrise engagement session. They battled through a really cold session! We took a break and got coffee and hot chocolate right before an outfit change! Getting to know these guys and watching them be sweet and giggle while all our of hands were soo cold… it was just the best. We are pretty excited to be shooting their 2020 wedding later this year!

Chrissy and Ryan’s session was better than I could imagine. They were pros. Their genuine affection, joy, and enthusiasm radiated during the whole time we were together. I proposed a few fun photo segments and they totally took me up on it. Wait until you see the Scooter and Ice Cream segment of our time together.
