We are so excited to share Kayleigh and Clark’s beautiful winter wedding! Maggie and Patrick photographed their micro-wedding almost a year before, so I was thrilled to be able to document them celebrating their marriage with all of their family and friends. This was our first time shooting at Vignon Manor Farm, and I was so impressed by the gorgeous venue!

This wedding is sooo special for me to post because it’s my cousin Kellie’s wedding! This wedding was beautiful, fun, and probably the most I’ve ever danced at a wedding. And it was the first wedding I photographed AS A BRIDESMAID! #goals… but this wedding isn’t about me, so I’m gonna just dive right in!

Kellie and Evan had a magical day. It may have been windy and cold but dang these two dominated the day, their wedding party and their families. The morning started out at the resort while the guys and the gals got ready. The guys were at a beach front house and the girls in a suite overlooking the beautiful OBX beach. These two shared a beautiful first look close to where they would be saying I Do and as a result, we got to see the day really come t together. I loved Evans response to seeing my cousin Kellie!

This was a bucket list wedding for us. We’ve lived in Baltimore our whole lives and as we’ve grown as wedding photographers, there’s a handful of venues that we thought would be iconic venues to shoot as Baltimore kids and photographers. Being able to photograph a wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel was special for us. We have been there for events, we even have been guests there before, but we hadn’t shot a wedding there yet. To be honest I was a little bit intimidated because I knew our caliber had to be on point and our professionalism not lacking at all. Cara and Brad had a beautiful day despite the weather that was handed to us for their day. Although we could not get outside for their bridal party photos or family photos we were able to sneak in a beautiful first look with a short segment of the Baltimore skyline for them.

These guys had a large shotlist for family pictures and wanted to have them all done prior to ceremony. So we definitely planned an incredible shot list and timeline with them alongside the amazing Celebrations Event team Lorin and Sharon.

Oooo, this is such a sweet vow renewal to share today!

Alex and Jon got married in 2020 with family and friends but it was small and intimate. They had postponed their large wedding to 2021 and asked us to come alongside them yet again to document a beautiful day as they renewed their vows in front of those unable to attend their 2020 ceremony. We had a lot of time with them, cruising the grounds of Hunt Valley Country Club. It was lovely and beautiful. Their reception was fully of dancing, their first dance witnessed by all and really yummy food and desert. Jon and Alex, thanks for trusting us with yet another momentous occasion in your life. We are so excited for you, proud of you for planning not 1 but 2 weddings in the middle of a pandemic. We wish you the absolute best!

It feels like these guys have been engaged forever… and it’s because they have been! After a nearly two year engagement and lifelong love (such a cute story of childhood sweethearts… kinda!), these two finally tied the knot this September. The weather held out for a beautiful day by the water. The boys even boated across from Maci and Kyle’s home to the venue! (And got pulled over by the boating police on the way haha). This wedding was full of fun. A boat trip. An outdoor ceremony by the water. Cute kids. A packed dance floor. A beautiful sunset. It was a great day! Thank you so much for having me, guys! I’m so glad to be able to relive your day again and again through your photos and film.

Doing siblings weddings is always and has always been special for us.

3 1/2 years ago we shot a wedding for a couple named Seth and Megan. It was beautiful and so much fun. That day I met her whole family, including her sister Katie. Katie is sweet and fun and beautiful. When Katie got engaged to Mitch we were so honored that they reached out to us to want to to photograph their day. Even more special was the fact that my past couple, Megan and Seth, gifted us to their siblings as their wedding present. Holy Moly! I am beyond blessed and honored and don’t take that for granted. So Megan and Seth thank you.

What a stunning but hot day! Haylie and Chris, Congrats! We are so excited you are married!

We have love being alongside of you guys since day one and are honored that you had us document your wedding day. For those reading this blog post I am so excited to share some of the moments that you will find in the photos below. The morning started at two different Airbnb’s where Chris and his groomsmen and Haylie and her bridesmaids got ready. We worked alongside a really great vendor team including a wonderful planning team with Lauren and Sharon from Celebrations Events. Every detail was strategic and beautiful.

For us this was a special wedding because we had already experienced a wedding in which Haylie and Chris got to see us in our element at their friends wedding. When their day finally came it was nothing short but trust fun and creativity. Haylie and Chris said their I Do’s on the water at Chris’ mom’s house. That will forever be sentimental and special to them and a place they can return to for family gatherings and memories. Just a few yards away, a beautiful clear tent, all the beautiful things, and a mix of circle and rectangle tables where guests would watch beautiful speeches and dances happen, and experience some surprises too.

I met Gloria and Roger through a coworker and former bride, Marlina a few years ago and was so excited when she wanted to work with us! Their wedding was in downtown Havre de Grace at Vandiver Inn and it was so cute! We even took a little trip to head down toward the lighthouse. What we didn’t realize was that there was a huge fundraising festival going on and the park was packed! Gloria and Roger quickly became famous and they handled the crowd so well. We were able to get beautiful portraits by the water and they even had time to read their vows for one another privately. Roger wrote his vows in Spanish for her with the help of a few friends! It was a great Vietnamese and El Savadorian affair at reception with people from both sides of the family struggling their way through the macarena! What a blast. It was great to see you both again and thank you so much for including us on your special day!

We met these sweethearts at another wedding for their friends Mallory and DJ a few years back and it was so much fun to see everyone again at Mandy and Chris’ wedding! These two had such a memorable engagement session driving around Locust Point and Fed Hill hitting all of the iconic spots. On their wedding day, they tackled the rain, even as it sprinkled through the ceremony they held true to what was most important: getting married. They read their vows to one another (after a rock, paper, scissors for who would go first) and then partied the night away. Complete with a full service ice cream truck, their reception was a rockin’ time. We can’t wait to see your final film from Living Radiant Films and relive your beautiful day! Thank you for bearing with us all through the rain, you had an incredible day and we are thankful to have been a part of it!

Sibling weddings for us are always fun. If you’ve been following us for years then you know that is so true. We met Cortney and Matt at a wedding we shot earlier this year in April. Cortney and Erin are stepsisters. These girls are also total babes and some of those most sweet women I know. When Cortney and Matt reached out to hire us we were so pumped. There was not a question in their head for hiring us. Cortney doesn’t know this but I found out at her wedding day that she actually broke contract with her other photographer because she wanted us. Well I’m sad for the photographer. I was so flattered and all that she would go that far to have us at her wedding. One of my favorite parts of Cortney and Matt and their marriage and relationship is that they already have kids together. And what I thought was so special was that their bridal party was made up 100% of their kids and family members. I wasn’t sure what the day would look like having some young kids in the wedding party as bridesmaids and groomsmen but I’ll tell you, it definitely was a beautiful experience that we loved experiencing as photographers. The kids were great, the parents were awesome and you could tell that Cortney and Matt just had the best day ever.
