I vividly remember walking down the streets of Fells Point with Ashley and John, while we were doing portraits on their wedding day, when Ashley said how much she would love to see her wedding in a magazine and would be thrilled if it were featured in Baltimore Bride. I absolutely loved everything about their wedding day, from the succulent favors to the giant pink flowers, to their bea[...]
Annapolis at sunrise is one of my favorite places. And Laura + Rich's Downtown Annapolis engagement session at sunrise was one of my favorites from this fall...even though I'm probably not supposed to have favorites. But, let's be real. Tulle skirt. Sparkly shoes. Cat mugs. God, I love these two. I'm always a fan of engagement sessions that are personal. And one of the[...]
For two people who met over a glass of wine because their best friends knew they would be a perfect fit...a gorgeous white elegant Dye House wedding was the perfect tangible realization of everything they love. In fact, I think these two win the award for most romantic proposal story of any I've heard. Their dreamy engagement started with a day at the Four Seasons pool[...]
A few frames from Philly. I really, really love Philly. It's even better when really awesome people invite me to Philly, for a Washington Square engagement session, and then take me to beautiful new places along the Schuylkill River where they love to spend time with each other. And when I get to play with their puppy too? Let's do this every weekend. Here's to beautiful people and cou[...]
She carried a handkerchief tatted with lace by her great-grandmother, adorned with her father's fraternity pin. Every single wedding invitation bore stamps collected over the lifetime of her grandfather. Her family treasures the things they love. And the people they love. They are steadfast, loyal, practical, and dependable. The best kind of people. Allison has been a friend to me si[...]
For the third wedding this year, rain threatened to douse their day. The week before was filled with making plan B's, rearranging floor plans, finding a way to keep the damp from dampening the day. But I think they found it was all worth it. It was worth it the moment she wiped the tears from his eyes as they read love letters that shared their true intentions and feelings abo[...]
Beautiful words will add nothing to these photos. You don't need me to tell you how in love Sarah and Ian are - you can see it in every picture. But I will tell you this: every engagement session includes free make-out lessons. And these two didn't need them. Not because they were love-crazed fools, but because they are authentically, genuinely affectionate with each other and w[...]
There are all kinds of ways to be a perfect match. Sometimes opposites attract. And sometimes two people share so many things in common. Kristy and Mike are more of the second, with a pinch of the first. They both have a little spunk, a lot of laughter, and the sunniest personalities. There are two stories I remember hearing on their wedding day that are so completely and utterly them... One[...]
As much as I loved London and Scotland, it was Ireland that really took my breath away. Not that we didn't have to work for it. There were forests with paths that disappeared into the brush to wander through, and piles of rocky cliff remnants at the edge of the ocean to clamber over while the waves thrashed and threatened to hide the way through. Cliff paths took us dangerously close[...]
Here's what I would write in my diary, if I kept a diary, about this Lewisburg wedding day: His tears mixed with laughter as he watched her walk down the aisle, audibly reminding her dad to slow down. She was the one person who managed to keep a level-head. And when you see the two of them together, they make you believe that there is such a thing as "the one" - two people perfectly ma[...]
