Brookside Gardens Engagement | Sasha & James
Every day I’m so thankful that I get to photograph beautiful people in beautiful locations. This Brookside Gardens engagement session made me feel so #blessed. Sasha and James met in Law School (talk about an intimidating power couple) and are both so kind and fun to be around. While I’ve known Sasha for a long time (her younger sister and I are HS pals), I didn’t really ~know~ her if you understand what I’m saying. It was really great to spend some time learning about her and James and their relationship! James proposed to Sasha around Christmastime, which was also closing in on […]
Bethany Beach Engagement | Meg & Alex
Ugh, this may be my favorite shoot ever. The beach, my best friend, her best friend, sunshine, happiness for days… it was a great one. The morning after Alex proposed to Megan, we went up to Bethany to take some engagement photos BRIGHT and EARLY, much to Alex’s dismay. It could not have been a more beautiful morning and not much makes me happier than the beach and my friends being happy, so this was great. The entire time, Alex was making us all crack up. It made for some great photos and I think think it really captured their relationship so […]
Baltimore Wedding | K & C
Sometimes I feel like a broken record when I talk about how much I adore my couples, but here I go again… I adore Kait and Chris so much! They were wed on a gorgeous day earlier this month in what was quite possibly the most beautiful wedding ceremony Baltimore has ever seen. They had such an incredible vision for their day and it really came to life. For me, it was just awesome to see Chris (who I’ve known for probably 10 years now) marry the stunning Kait – the joy in their eyes when they first were able […]
Dewey Beach Wedding | J & B
Welcome to the most perfect beach wedding blog post ever. I’m so excited to share a little preview of Jane and Brian’s Dewey beach wedding! On top of being an absolutely amazing couple, Jane and Brian’s wedding featured an epic wedding party, heaps of flower girls and ring bearers, orange crushes, an amazing live band, ocean views, and a gorgeous sunset! Just an FYI, I’m totally obsessed with everything about this wedding. Like I’m always obsessed with my clients and the beautiful days they have, but this particular wedding felt like something I personally would put together for myself. If […]
Annapolis Waterfront Hotel Wedding | S&T
Dilly Dilly! This Annapolis Waterfront Hotel Wedding was as close to perfect as a wedding can get! It was exactly the right setting for Sarah and Tom’s wedding at the end of June. When they first reached out to me, they told me they were hosting their wedding in Annapolis because they love being on the water and it just felt right to celebrate on the bay. They said that over the four years they had been dating, spending time in Annapolis brought them so much happiness that they couldn’t wait to share with their friends and families! As they were describing […]
Hagerstown City Park Engagement | K & G
HOKAY, so, if these two aren’t the cutest thing in the world then I don’t know what is. Backstory: Kristen started following me on Instagram one day and then she realized I was the photographer for her friends wedding (two of my favorite people 😉). At her friends wedding, I was observing the dance floor and trying to figure out where to set up my flash stand and I heard, “Kristen talk to her!” with the “her” being me. Shortly after, I was approached by Kristen and her mom. Kristen told me about how she followed me online and didn’t know I was Kristin & […]
Bethany Beach Proposal | Meg & Alex
Have you ever had a best friend that you just like wanted to hug and make happy like all the time? Yeah, weird way to start a blog post, I know, but this blog post is all about my best friend’s PROPOSAL. Megan is my best friend from high school and sometimes I’m not sure why or how we became friends because I was/am so weird and she was/is so pop-u-lar, but at this point she’s stuck with me and I just adore her. She does live on the other side of the country now, which sucks because I miss her […]
DC Engagement in Georgetown | D & D
A few things that make my heart sing: couples who are super chic, couples who want to do their engagement photos in Georgetown, and couples who are very easy going. Devin and Drew are all three of those things and I am so excited to share some photos from their DC engagement session in Georgetown! Devin and Drew’s love story is pretty classic – they met at work. What isn’t classic is the way Drew proposed. Truthfully, I thought they were messing with me when they first told me the story because it’s just so different! One night, while Devin […]
Baltimore Harbor Engagement | C & M
Okay, but really, how great is Baltimore? I don’t spend enough time up there but every time I go, I really, really enjoy it! It’s just got a cool vibe to it. The last time I was there was for this cutie couples Baltimore Harbor engagement session!! It was at an awesome spot called Harborview. Let me tell you about this couple and this session for a minute before we get to the first photos I’m blogging in MONTHS. So first of all, we originally scheduled this photo session for Thursday, June 7th. Do you know what actually happened on that […]
