Wedding

Shelby & Rachael Kylan Barn

Wedding Photographers in Maryland

I am one hundred million percent obsessed with Rachael and Shelby's wedding day at Kylan Barn in Delmar, Maryland! It was such a beautiful day, not only weather wise, but also details wise! A lot of Shelby and Rachael's wedding day involved the creative skills of their family, like Shelby's sister, Crystal and Rachael's sister, Kim. Crystal expertly crafted a lot of the incredible decor and all of the tasty desserts. While Kim mad sure that both brides makeup was on point (and waterproof :P). Watching a couple's family work together in order to create the dream day for them is a truly special thing. It makes a day mean that much more to both the couple, and the guests. Shelby and Rachael, thank you both so much for choosing us to capture your wedding day. It has been a privilege getting to know you two and to experience such a loving, gorgeous day. We are so excited for you two and to see what the future has in store for you both!  Some awesome details from the day! They had visited other farm venues throughout Maryland, but when they pulled up at Kylan then both knew instantly it was their venue. Shelby and Rachael are high school sweethearts. Shelby's sister, Crystal, created a lot of the decor for the wedding: the floral arrangements, the desserts, the cake, the underwear that some of the bridal party wore 😂, and so much more! The flower girls were doing legit gymnastics...

Dani & AJ Hyatt Regency

Wedding Photographers in Cambridge

Fall was in full effect for Dani and AJ's GORGEOUS wedding at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort. Seriously, they could not have asked for a more beautiful day, at a more stunning venue. After seeing their day, and adventuring around the grounds with them, I have said to Shawn multiple times how much I want to do a vacation weekend here. Beginning to end, Dani and AJ's wedding was spectacular. They thought of everything, and Lorin and Sharon from Celebrations, LLC made sure that it all happened for them. I'm still dreaming about their reception space. Dani and AJ, thank you both so much for trusting us to be your wedding day photographers. The day did go by super quick, but I'm so glad that we captured it all. It was a joy getting to meet in person - finally - and celebrate your amazing day. You two have something incredibly special, and I feel honored that Shawn and I were able to witness just a little bit of your magic <3.  Some fun stuff from the day! Dani used her grandmother's ring in the ceremonial ring exchange. Their reception space was filled with roses that Dani's dad remarked were his mother in law's favorite flower <3. The ceremony space was at the end of a very long pier, and because of that, the whole area slightly swayed from side to side. Their vows brought tears to my eyes. One of their signature...

Luisa & Steven Rosemont Springs

Wedding Photographers in Virginia

Oh my gosh, where do I start with Luisa and Steven's summer wedding day! From their florals from Bee Inspired Events to the stunning chandeliers of their reception area - it was all amazing. Their venue, Historic Rosemont Springs, really took a lot of the stress that a couple could feel on their day, and negated it completely. Making sure that Steven and Luisa were well taken care of and that everything went off without a hitch. I mean, I can't say enough wonderful things about the Rosemont Springs coordinator, Monica. She expertly kept the event running smoothly even after a sheet of rain moved through that required her and some of the guests to get soaked clearing the ceremony space. I think the greatest thing about all weddings is how every single one is different. For Luisa and Steven, their day included a beautiful church service with readings and hymns from their church leaders and family members. It was something that we had never seen before and it was so incredibly unique. Luisa and Steven, thank you both so much for allowing us to witness your beautiful day. Your day is one that we will remember for a lifetime! We are so excited for this next chapter in your lives that we hope includes a puppy!! :D Some cool stuff from the day! Luisa and Steven did not exchange rings during the ceremony, they instead exchanged them in private <3. They treated their guests to a gorgeous...

Mary Claire & Ryan Folly Beach

Wedding Photographers in Charleston

You know that feeling when something is happening exactly how it is supposed to? When Mary Claire and Ryan emailed me asking if it was possible for us to travel down to Folly Beach to photograph their wedding, I got that feeling. Yes, their Baltimore based wedding last year did have to be postponed due to COVID. However, the second I read their plan for having us come to South Carolina, I got this overwhelming feeling that THIS was how their day was always supposed to be. Every single person that was there to witness Mary Claire and Ryan's marriage helped in making the day flawless. Mary Claire's mom was sewing and ironing, her brothers (and Ryan) were setting up the ceremony space, and Ryan's family came in ready to help get food going. Each and every guest's mission was for the day to go off without a hitch and they more than succeeded. They created a space that was peaceful and filled with love for Mary Claire and Ryan, and who doesn't want to start their marriage surrounded by that?! Mary Claire & Ryan - first of all, thank you for even letting us in on your "crazy idea". We are so incredibly happy for you two! I know that the devastating speed bump that is COVID made it feel impossible for your wedding vision to come to life, but you two did it and you did it super well! Your day was perfect, and we...

Erica & Aaron The Winslow

Wedding Photographers in Baltimore

I don't think that it can get any better than Erica and Aaron's industrial chic wedding day. Their day at The Winslow in Baltimore, Maryland is one that will stick with me for forever. Seriously, everything from the vows (when Aaron cried), to the speeches (when Erica cried) were sheer perfection. These two truly created a magical, romantic world within The Winslow that I still cannot believe we were lucky enough to witness. When we met up with these two for their engagement session last year, we instantly became big fans of theirs. They are both so loving and caring, and it is completely obvious by the people they surround themselves with how wonderful they are. When you have so many people showing your relationship such incredible love, well, you know your marriage is going to be stellar. By the end of the day we felt so much connection to them, and we hope that their wedding was just the beginning of our friendship! Congratulations, Erica and Aaron! Your marriage, much like your wedding day, is going to be absolutely fantastic. You two are such wonderful individuals and together you can take over the world! Thank you both so much for allowing us to be a small part of the day, and capture all the laughs, tears, and love! Some of the highlights from the day! Aaron's ring was his late father's wedding band. Their officiant was Erica's uncle! We love when family is involved in the major parts of...

Christina & Kevin Antrim 1844

Wedding Photographers in Taneytown

Dusting off the ol' blog to bring you Christina and Kevin's GORGEOUS wedding at Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, Maryland. This was our first big wedding of 2021... the first one that truly felt normal after the year of COVID, and it couldn't have been a better day! After their big wedding turned into a "minimony" last year, their day this year was an opportunity to renew their vows and have the big celebration with all their friends and family. The day was filled with so much happiness, love, and DANCING. Seriously, I don't think we've seen a dance floor that full and with SO much energy in a long time. It was incredible to witness, and we are so happy that we got to capture it! Christina and Kevin, thank you so much for allowing us to be at your wedding celebration. You two are so wonderful, and even though the wait was probably VERY long - you did it! And with incredible style <3.  Some fun moments from the day! Kevin & Christina are high school sweethearts and met on the dance floor at homecoming! Making the dance floor a very important place for them :P. Christina choreographed her and Kevin's first dance. They received a standing ovation after that dance! Christina's something old was a beautiful gold ring from her grandmother. Kevin & Christina's grandmothers served as their flower ladies!  Christina's cousin, Faith, baked THE most beautiful cake we've ever seen...

How COVID-19 will change your wedding

Maryland Photographer

Now that the state of Maryland is starting to reopen from COVID-19, I wanted to open a conversation about our business moving forward. Obviously, there is new information coming out weekly of how businesses can get back to "normal", but our normal, may not be normal for the next business. This pandemic has changed the way we think about health and safety. By laying this out, we hope it encourages our couples, current and future, to start a dialog with us. We know this is stressful, but we also know everyone wants to be smart and informed. Should weddings be considered "large gatherings"? I know that weddings are, by definition, considered a large gathering. It's important to point out that they are different from other sorts of events in that group. At a lot of large gatherings that would include over 100 people, there's not the focus on just two people. At community gatherings, festivals, or conferences, there's a natural sense of distancing that can take place as people stick to their own group. There's not a pull to be close to two particular individuals, or the strong feeling of uniting and reuniting of families.  During a wedding, no one wants to be distanced from the wedding couple. They want to express their congratulations, hug, kiss, dance with them. The wedding couple is a celebrity that EVERYONE in attendance of their day wants to get close to. It may sound dramatic, but at this moment that's...

Haley & Brandon Hebron House

Wedding Photographers in Ellicott City

So weddings are definitely interesting right now. Smaller guests list, social distancing, and masks all make for a different kind of day. Just because it's different, though, doesn't mean it's not incredibly special. If anything, now, more than ever, weddings are even more sentimental. There's not the same feeling of rushing or stress, it's all based in a closeness that, all weddings of course have, but that closeness is much more visible today. Haley and Brandon's wedding at the Historic Hebron House was filled with so much incredible emotion. This was a day to celebrate them and their bond, which is honestly sometimes easy to forget when all of the other aspects of a wedding day take over. One of the coolest things about Haley and Brandon's wedding is that they had SIX officiants. Yes. Six officiants. Their closest friends lead them and the congregation through prayer, the vows, and blessing of marriage. Each friend that spoke and oversaw the day made it that much more special and personal. I now feel like all couples should have their friends officiate their wedding, haha. That might be a tall ask, but seriously, what people know you and your relationship better than the company that you keep and genuinely interact with? This couldn't have been a more perfect day. Truly! Congratulations, Haley and Brandon! It was an honor to be your wedding day photographers. Thank you both for allowing us to capture such a gorgeous time in your lives. We wish you...

Sam & Stefan St. Mark Church

Wedding Photographers in Catonsville

After 4 months of not shooting weddings, WE ARE BACK! I have many things I want to say about quarantine, business, and photography, but I'm saving it for a different post. This post is ALL about Sam and Stefan and their beautiful wedding ceremony at St. Mark Church in Catonsville! Sam and Stefan were originally supposed to exchange vows on April 24th; however, a little thing named COVID-19 threw everything out of wack. Instead, June 7th became their official wedding anniversary, and it could not have been a more perfect day. It was a day where everyone could just happily scream: FINALLY! We got a little extra teary eyed when it came time for the vows, which we immediately started chuckling over because mirroring someone when you try to "hold left hands" is HARD :P. We are so happy for Sam and Stefan! Not only did we get to witness their ceremony, but come July, we'll be ready to celebrate them again at their reception! The greatest thing about weddings is that no matter the date, location, or amount of people in attendance, it's about two lives becoming one. Nothing else matters in that exact moment, except those two people. Since the pandemic has forced a majority of couples to not have their moment with each other, it's been exciting and comforting to see all weddings resume in the smaller capacity. It fills our heart with joy to see this type of happiness again <3. Enjoy their...
