Love stories grow with time, and so for these co-workers, love grew at work! Caroline and John were teachers that met at Dundalk high school over 5 years ago. Their love grew as the school had events and they happened to keep signing up for the same ones. It just made sense to start spending life together.

Caroline and John’s wedding was fun, intentional and playful. The day started off with the bridal party getting ready where the girls and guys were laid back drinking champagne and playing cards. Caroline got ready at Eagles Nest alongside her mom and bridesmaids.

We are always honored when other skilled photographers hire us to shoot their wedding. When we first met Nicole and Ray, I remember driving home from our time with them, after eating ice cream curbside. I told Patrick “I really like them.” I was intimidated initially by Nicole. She’s beautiful, fun, spontaneous. I wasn’t used to being around a bride at an engagement session who was so confident and fun, treating me like a friend I’ve known forever, right off the bat. Most couples go into their engagement session nervous, and a little closed off.

Nicole and Ray got married at a venue we had never shot before and what a beautiful venue Kylan Barn is! New venues are so fun for us. We have to figure out how we are going to light it for reception, where portraits will happen depending on lighting situations day of.

The morning of the wedding, we pulled up to Kylan Barn and I immediately said, this is going to be awesome.
