Everything about this Swan Cove Manor wedding day was beyond spectacular. Lindsay and Chance, along with their family and friends, were beyond kind and made my heart so full that day. These two are so infectiously and madly in love with one another. It’s obvious from the get go. Some of my favorite parts of the day: When Lindsay was reading her letter from Chance and was clearly so excited! When Lindsay and her dad saw each other for the first time! When I walked into the house where Chance and his gents were getting ready and his grooms was down on […]
Morning Engagement Session in Georgetown | Jordan & Phillip
Jordan and Phillip are getting marrrieeeedd. But first, their engagement session! We met up for a morning engagement session in Georgetown (I love Georgetown) and it was so lovely out. Fun story though, I was driving down to the waterfront, where I normally park when I’m there, and there were cops everywhere! Then out of nowhere, a truck hauling port-o-potties was in front of me. And in that moment, I realized, OH CRAP… there’s a marathon happening. I started seeing the runners, with their neon clothing and pinned on numbers, and thinking – this session could go a whole different […]
Celebrations at the Bay Wedding | Krystal & Greg
YAY. Krystal and Greg are MARRIED! CHEERS TO THE NEALS! I’m seriously so excited for them. This Celebrations at the Bay wedding was amazing and heartwarming and fulfilling in so many ways. First of all, let’s take it back. Krystal and I had been communicating about their wedding for well over a year before their glorious day earlier this month. They are just my kind of people – born to be out on the water, boats and jetskis are their favorite method of transportation, they have a big lug of a dog named Beau. When I finally was able to meet them […]
Glenview Mansion Engagement Session | Lauren & Andrew
Glenview Mansion is absolutely one of my favorite places to photograph. It’s a beautiful spot in Rockville, MD that’s really just in the middle of a neighborhood. It’s got beautiful stone work and very nice gardens! These two were engaged in December on Christmas Eve! They applied for my model call from way back when, and I was so happy they did. Not only are they absolutely adorable together, but they’re so nice and were so easy to photograph. Lauren actually knows multiple people I’ve photographed in the past, which is very cool! Anyways, we planned and planned for the […]
Bohemian Bridal Portraits | Styled Shoot
This bohemian bridal portraits session was planned around a vision that was all things floral and romantic! It actually all started with the location – a beautiful field that had both a bamboo forest and high grasses. I saw it and had the need to photograph something beautiful here. A few months later, I still hadn’t photographed anything there even though I constantly suggested it as a location for my couples’ engagement sessions! This is when I decided to bring together a team to create a Flowers in Her Hair themed bohemian bridal portraits shoot. For the flowers, I knew […]
Great Falls Engagement | Andrea and Will
I’m obsessed with these two and this Great Falls Engagement session, but first throwback to December 2015. I was hanging out with my new boo at his best friends “Shot Luck” in Baltimore. I didn’t know anyone but was quickly introduced to a heap of people, including Andrea! In the ladies bathroom (because of course), I learned that Andrea was engaged and subtly (not so subtly) mentioned that I was a wedding photographer. Shameless self promotion, what can I say. But the night continued on and we all danced to Justin Bieber. Anywhoo, like 8 months later I hear from her […]
Old Town Alexandria Engagement | Natalie & Jared
This Old Town Alexandria engagement session started with me practically stumbling into Natalie and Jared. We walked around capturing shots in the little nooks and crannies that make Old Town so charming and right away they were so natural in front of the camera! Engagement sessions truly allow me to learn so much about people; I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… it’s like you’re on a date and I’m a really weird third wheel. The two of them are both incredibly genuine, very funny, and truly enjoy being with one another. Plus they were troopers… this was that weekend […]
An Annapolis Wedding | Deena & Ryan
Deena and I were high school classmates, however, I didn’t really know her all that well. I knew she played soccer, lived in my best friends neighborhood, had sisters… very basic stuff. But I really had no idea how kind and funny she was/is. Ryan and I only met for the first time at our initial wedding meet up! He seemed like a great guy, very nice, good head on his shoulders – you know the type… and since I have found out he knows like a heap-ton of my coworkers and friends! You get to really know people when […]
A Georgetown Park Engagement Session | Naina & Max
Look at these high school sweethearts! I attended high school with these two and could not be more thrilled for them and their upcoming marriage. It had been at least a few years since I had seen the two of them, but it was great to spend some time photographing their engagement photos in Montrose Park. During the session – it was really cool to catch up with them; I got to hear about what they’re doing and how they’re doing. I also must have talked about Maverick the vizsla pup a little too much because now they’re sending me dog videos (please […]
A DC Monuments Engagement | Lindsay & Chance
Living in DC makes me feel spoiled as I get to see the DC Monuments all the time. I joke with my friends sometimes that literally every single time I see the Washington Monument I have to take a picture of it and post it on social media somewhere – and I see it like every other day. The DC Monuments are an awesome spot for engagement sessions and the white marble is so gorgeous to photograph! After talking to Lindsay and Chance for what feels like months, I was so excited to finally meet them for their engagement session. […]
