I'm forever inspired by creators. And I love the ladies from 2Hands Studios, who make and share some of the loveliest maryland wedding rentals. If you're a bride planning a wedding, finding fabulous rentals may be one of the best things you can do to bring your wedding day dreams to life. And we're not just talking about chairs and tables here, although those pieces can add uniqueness t[...]
There's something magical about the first place you call home, together. For Caitlin and Josh, their Ellicott City engagement session took them back to their beginnings. I know exactly how they feel about this place. I have a place like this, too. It's where you find your corner coffee shop, with the delicious handmade baked goods that become your "special occasion" re[...]
As it is the season of giving thanks, I want to tell you about the many moments where I realize exactly how grateful I am for each of the amazing people who have trusted me to photograph what it feels like to be in love. I want them all to be my besties. Kristy and Mike wanted to do their Tilghman Island engagement session at Kristy's family's house on the shores of the Bay. We made i[...]
I love fall in the city. And urban sunrise waterfront engagement sessions. There's something magical about walking along leaf-littered brick sidewalks next to windows filled with jewel-box colors. There's a richness in the air as it changes from dewy to crisp in the mornings, and I relish the warmth of teas and coffees in ceramic mugs that spread comfort to my fingertips and toes with e[...]
I really and truly love these two. And the photos we made during their Baltimore waterfront engagement session. I mean, it's easy to love two people who take you to a park by the water just outside of Baltimore, a place they like to visit to spend time together, to walk by the water, holding hands, and admiring the beauty that is so abundant and nearby. It's hard to remember som[...]
I love that you had a reading from When Harry Met Sally in your ceremony and that your bridesmaids danced down the aisle. I love that share a love of traveling and that you got engaged on a trip to Scotland. I love the way that you took so much care in planning a special day for every one of the people who traveled to be there for your wedding day. I love that you handcrafted a beer[...]
These last days of summer in Maryland always start to feel like fall. And that makes me want to watch You've Got Mail. Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. It might not be New York, but I love Baltimore in the fall. The small shops that line the[...]
There are times that I meet with a bride-to-be and simply hope with all of my heart that we get to work together, to make magic together. Liz was one of those brides. She has amazing style and so much personality; naturally, I had the best time sharing drinks and stories with her, and her mom and sister. I simply loved the three of them the instant we met. And then...a few short weeks[...]
There are certain locations that are forever on my "oh hell yes" list, and Glen Echo weddings will always be one of them. Glen Echo park is a fabulous little gem of a place nestled in the DC suburbs - a restored cultural center housed in an abandoned theme park. It's unique, colorful, charming, and one of the most fun places in the area for a wedding. So here's the thing - beautiful[...]
One of the best parts of being a photographer: field trips. I love seeing the world through the eyes of my couples. The places they love, that have been a part of who they are. Liz and Andy met in Williamsburg, VA and the sweet colonial town was where they fell in love and got engaged, so there was nowhere better to celebrate their story in their engagement session. And they fo[...]
