It's so easy when planning a wedding to tell yourself a story about all of the things you should do because that's the way everyone else does it. I'm so glad Sarah and Ian listened to their hearts instead and tuned out the worldly wedding chatter and found their very own[...]
The weather forecast promised relentless rain and zero percent chance of sun. They chose the venue for it's incredible mountain views and wide open spaces. And in the end, that soft, cloudy, rainy light made it all seem so dreamy and magical. Natalie and Jeff's Musket Ridge weddi[...]
For any wedding, it's easy to show how pretty the day was - especially when the backdrop is a beautiful Annapolis hotel and an US Naval Academy wedding. What's less easy to show is how beautiful the people getting married are on the inside. You'll see it in their smiles,[...]
I want to just wrap these two in a hug every time I look through their photos. I love Chesapeake Bay Beach Club weddings, and this one definitely didn't disappoint. I love how Katie and Danny embraced their Irish heritage by ending their lovely ceremony with an Irish blessing, an[...]

Bright, warm sunshine and beautiful colors will always be the ways to my heart. Which is why I'm so in love with these colorful downtown Annapolis engagement photos. The morning of Jenna + Billy's Annapolis engagement session was so perfectly spring-like; I couldn't help[...]
A year changes everything. Around this time last year, we were dreaming of a new space to call ours. It wasn't to be. I love re-reading that post because I remember the heartbreak of it all and feeling like everything I was looking for was an impossibility. That we'd hav[...]
