Winter. Wedding. Greatness! Seriously, Allie and Josh couldn't have asked for a more perfect day than February 1st for their wedding. The weather was great, the rain held off until the evening, and the atmosphere was exciting and beautiful. This was our first time photographing at Kurtz's Beach, and it has very quickly became a favorite venue! The wide open and clean look of the dance floor, the amazing rustic but modern ceremony space, and the ample patio area is what we dream for every location. It was a stunning spot for Allie and Josh to officially start their forever! Leading up to the ceremony, we experienced a first at a wedding: a trick first look. Now, we've done first looks, first touches, no-look first looks (TM pending :P), but we've never had a bride trick the groom by having a groomsman dress up in a wedding dress. It was the most hilariously kept secret, because literally everyone knew about it except for Josh. By the look on Josh's face when he sees Kevin in that dress, I'd say it's something he wishes he never did see (Kevin if you're reading this, we think you make a beautiful bride). There is just nothing better than a wedding day filled with unique personality and wonderful memories. That is a moment that Allie, Josh, and all of their friends and family will remember forever. I mean, they'll remember the whole day, but seriously...Kevin in a wedding dress is memory gold. We...

I have SO many things to say about Ben and Erica's gorgeous camp wedding! Not only was their celestial theme on point for Camp Puh'Tok's style, but the level of emotions were next level. Every person involved in the day cried AT LEAST twice (groomsmen...I know one of them must have shed a tear :P). It was such a special and romantic day that captured every ounce of who Ben and Erica are. The whole day was such a calming experience, which feels weird to say about a wedding, but I mean it! Ben and Erica are two of the sweetest and hilarious people who are so easy to feel comfortable around. It's really an amazing superpower when someone has the ability to just make other's feel important. It's even more amazing when there's TWO people with that superpower and they get married to each other. Getting to witness that big moment between Ben and Erica was incredible. We are so happy for these two. We've gotten the chance to hangout with them (& sing some karaoke) leading up to the day and, honestly, they felt like friends right from the start. We feel so honored and thankful for Erica and Ben, and cannot wait to see where life takes them! Cool things from B&E's day! · They were able to capture their musical tastes within their ceremony thanks to Vitamin String Quartet. We heard Sail by AWOLNATION, Snow by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Get...

"Holy wowzer" is about all I can say about Victoria and Josh's celebration... plus everything else that I'm about to say :P. Victoria and Josh had the most glorious Baltimore reception at the George Peabody Library. Seriously, it doesn't get any more beautiful than that library. It's like stepping into Beauty and the Beast, times a million. Yes, it's BETTER than any fairy tale that Disney could ever think up. Victoria and Josh couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for their grand finale of wedding festivities. After getting married in Italy in August, September was the month of celebration. All of their family and friends were there to cheer them on, chow down on some of the BEST food, and dance the night away. We honestly were in awe of it all, ESPECIALLY the grand reveal of the Library. Everything was such a dream. We are so happy that we got the chance to meet and celebrate Victoria and Josh. Their love is so much fun and filled with adventure. We loved getting to know, them and their reception will forever remain one of our absolute favorites! Congratulations, Victoria and Josh (and Bella :P) Fun stuffs from the day! Victoria and Josh's fur-baby, Bella, made an appearance for family photos, and then had her driver take her back home. So posh! They got to peek at their guests coming into the library from atop the stacks in the secret shadows. Victoria did all of the signage for...

I'm STILL in tears over the amazingness of Krystle and David's wedding at Main Street Ballroom. Honestly, this is the most gorgeous wedding venue in Ellicott City (sorry other EC venues). There's so many possibilities with it, and Krystle and David COMPLETELY turned it into a dreamland. I knew from the very second we arrived for their at-home engagement session that these two were perfect. A pillow fight, a cooking sesh, and a moment by the water? Seriously, they are a photographer's dream! So the second we pulled up to Main Street Ballroom and saw Flor de Casa doing her thing with a moon arch...I was pinching myself. The entire day I had to keep pinching myself because everyone involved in this day made it absolutely incredible. I was tearing up at Krystle getting into her dress, at the ceremony, at the just married portraits. Basically, there was a lot of crying! Oh my gosh, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect start to September. Krystle and David are two of the most incredible humans. They are two people that you instantly feel like you are friends with, they have the capability of making you feel comfortable and important from the very second you have a conversation with them. We are so happy for them and will be cheers-ing to their marriage with only the best bottle of wine! Some favorite wedding moments! The dance floor! It never stopped, never slowed down, and eventually EVERYONE was on their...

Where do I even start with Tori and Mason's wedding day?! It was gorgeous, intimate, and full of silly moments all around Annapolis. I kind of feel like we took an amazing tour of downtown Annapolis from Calvert House, to Historic Ogle Hall, to Blackwall Hitch. We saw it all with Tori and Mason, and it was the best day ever! Tori and Mason's wedding fit them SO well! It was calm, personal, and beautiful. Their officiant was Mason's brother, their guest list was close family, and their reception dinner was filled with inside jokes. These two light up a room with the way they look at each other, one glance their way and you can tell they are the most amazing complement to each other. They both are hysterical, caring, and have interesting passions that can spark a million conversations (seriously, Mason's history knowledge is INSANE - in a good way). Seeing everyone shower them with so much love was incredible.  Being able to witness and photograph Tori and Mason's wedding is something I've looked forward to since last August. I talked a little bit about it in their engagement blog post, but Tori and I have been friends since high school. Being able to see one of my oldest and dearest friends find her perfect person sends me right over the moon. We will forever be cheering on their marriage, and looking forward to watching this next chapter of their lives! And to Tori and Mason, we...
