Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring - no matter the season the Liriodendron Mansion is FLAWLESS! It is easily one of our favorite venues in Maryland mainly because the sunsets are ridiculously beautiful! The way the sunlight flows through the trees and creates this ethereal glow to the world is magical. Haley and Joe not only chose the Liriodendron Mansion for their wedding, but also for their engagement photos. Getting to wander the grounds with them at two different times was incredibly special. Once with anticipation, and once with so much "WE DID IT!" excitement. At different moments during the wedding, you could see that excitement bubble to the surface with both of them holding hands and jumping enthusiastically. Watching Haley and Joe in those moments of excitement overload is extra confirmation that true love is real. Haley and Joe, you two are absolutely fabulous, and Shawn and I are so thankful that we got to spend your wedding day with you two! The love that you have for each other is so beautiful, and we cannot wait to see how your love grows and deepens in the future! Fun stuff from the day! Haley's garter is a family heirloom, her grandmother, her mother, all of her aunts, and cousins ♥️♥️ Haley and her Cousin, Lauren (also the MOH) wore matching bracelets! Haley incorporated a lot of family jewelry into her bridal look including her grandmother's necklace and bracelet. Such a great way to have those family members...

I am giddy with excitement to share Sam and Bart's Annapolis wedding day today! Not only did they have a gorgeous ceremony and dinner at the William Paca House & Gardens, but they also had a brass band march them and all of their guests to the Harbor Queen boat for dancing! I don't think it gets much cooler than a giant dance party on a boat, and I think Sam, Bart, and every single one of their guests would agree! These two not only wanted to celebrate their nuptials with each other, but they really wanted to put an emphasis on the family and friends that attended. Their guests were so incredibly lovely, and while it's common to see happiness during a wedding, you could also feel it for Sam and Bart. There was an overwhelming warmth that every guest brought out for these two and it was truly such an honor to witness. Especially when we hit the Harbor Queen and everyone busted out their dance moves. When I say that the dance floor was wild - I 1000% mean it. The whole day was a blast, but getting to experience the energy on that dance floor and boat was, oh my gosh, something I will remember and try to channel for a very long time. Sam and Bart - Thank you both so much. Your day was filled with so much brilliance that I know wouldn't have been possible if you two weren't such magical and...

Fairytales are REAL, and Jaclyn and Deirdre's Mt. Washington Mill Dye House wedding proves that! I'm still not over the fantasticalness of their entire day. From the emotional letter readings before the ceremony to the insanely colorful dance floor, everything was amazing. After two years of planning I expected nothing less than perfection. Due to the pandemic, Jaclyn and Deirdre had to postpone their original wedding date, which was completely heartbreaking. However, walking into their getting ready spaces and knowing we were about to celebrate these two fabulous women and their love was a good kind of overwhelming. Every detail was expertly in place and there was nothing going to stand in the way of FINALLY seeing these two get married! Jaclyn and Deirdre, thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting us to capture such an important day for you both! We are so excited for you two for this next chapter in your relationship! You two are such beautiful individuals and seeing you exchange vows was already the highlight of our 2022!  Cool stuff from the day! This is the first wedding we've had that has played Sissy That Walk by RuPaul 👏... I might have grabbed Shawn and screamed. Their theme was overgrown garden, which is my new favorite theme. There were florals dripping from the ceiling. It was magnificent! People flew in from all over for Deirdre and Jaclyn's day! That just shows how much these two matter to everyone! There wasn't a dry eye...

Quintessential fall is what Chloe and Reid's wedding day was at the Vineyards at Mary's Meadow in Darlington, Maryland! Seriously, there were rolling clouds across the land, colorful trees, and a brisk breeze in the air. It was so incredibly perfect. There were so many moments during their day that genuinely had me tearing up. From Chloe's first look with her dad, to Chloe and Reid's STUNNING sunset portraits with the horses in the field - I was an emotional mess. I mean, if I wasn't crying I was just going crazy over all the sweetness, which isn't that what all wedding days should be like - a happy kind of bonkers? These two had the most magical day at Mary's Meadow, and when the evening festivities hit, they absolutely did not disappoint. There were people busting out splits, the worm, and some other moves that had no business looking as cool as they did. It was such a phenomenal time that just left me and Shawn buzzing at the end of the night.  Chloe and Reid, thank you both so much! It has been an absolute blast getting to see this evolution of your relationship. I feel honored that we not only got to capture the proposal, but also your gorgeous wedding day. You two are simply the best (with some great taste in music) and this next chapter in your story is guaranteed to be amazing.  Cool things from the day! Chloe's dad made sure to...
