A Surprise Sun for Lindsay and Jack’s Silver Swan Wedding

November 16, 2018

Lindsay and I toiled over the forecast a bit before her and Jack’s wedding this last weekend in October. Torrential downpours, howling winds, and bitter cold temperatures seemed to loom in the foreground. Yet, the day of their wedding, there was no rain, and while freezing, yes, so very cold, their whole bridal party were troopers and managed to transport themselves mentally to warmer climates and their happy place while we took a few photographs outside. I love the fall colors we were able to capture at Silver Swan. Surrounded by water on both sides, their are few places on the Chesapeake that are as stunning. I am so glad that Jack pursued this girl, for like, ever. Funny how, he just knew from the beginning that she was the one for him. Funny too, that it took Lindsay a little longer to get there, but it all worked out in the end. Thank you both for allowing me to capture your day, for rolling with the wind and the veil casualty we had, the turning blue, and thank you Jack for not jumping into save said veil. We like you better without Pneumonia. Much love and happiness to you both!! PS Sorry, not sorry there are so many of your niece and nephew in this post. <3

Brittany and Braden’s Golf Course Wedding

November 6, 2018

This girl makes you smile. She lights up a room, is sweet, funny, laid back, and knows who she is. I love that so much about Brittany. Getting to see her and Braden together on their wedding was a real blessing. I love that the guys and girls got matching jogging jackets, that the girls wore Toms (oh so comfy), and that their wedding is exactly how they wanted it to be. <3 We had such a fun time touring around the golf course in a cart. (Brings back good memories of being a cart girl. 😉 ) And just playing around in Renditions’ beautiful setting. It was so wonderful to see all the important people in their life come and celebrate with them, and one friend even married them. Congratulations to you both! I am so happy for you!!

Doughnuts, Dancing, and Tropical Paradise at Herrington on the Bay

October 19, 2018

Can we all just take a moment and awe over Kate’s dress. The lace, the sleeves, the bodice. From head to toe, Katelyn is a radiant princess. And I love that she met her Charming in middle school, that years later here they are. As her maid of honor said in her speech, “It has always been you Zach”. I am over the moon for these two, and the celebration they were able to have at Herrington on the Bay. Their passion for one another, for life, and their family is so evident, and I am so blessed to have been there to share in their wedding with them. Congratulations to the both of you! I wish you so much love and happiness!

A Little Wedding Rain, and a Whole Lot of Love

October 1, 2018

I love what I do, I love the people I meet, and getting to share in their story, and their love for one another. Every couple I have had the honor to photograph has been a joy to know. But there are some people that after the wedding, you think, wow I will really miss that girl. Rachael, has me rollin. I love this girl. She is carefree, up for whatever, and just such a ray of sunshine to be around. From the first day I met them in my studio, I felt we all where a great match. Fast forward to the engagement session, and my face has never hurt so much from smiling. Marshall has some killer catwalk style, and they are just so at home with one another, so carefree. It makes me happy to just hang out with the both of them. So, yes, we did have buckets of rain during their wedding at The Barn at Cage Stables in St. Leonard, MD, but during their ceremony, it’s like it didn’t dare upset the sunshine we all felt, not a drop or rain, just joy, love, and laughter. <3

Haley-Jean and Steve’s Backyard Garden Wedding

July 5, 2018

To understand the love I have for photographing this garden wedding on the Patuxent in Southern Maryland, you have to understand a little bit about Steve and Haley-Jean. These two met on a blind date through a friend, they have stayed together through travels, and underway deployments. They were married in a church ceremony on the anniversary of both of their parents, June 28th. That’s right, Steve’s parents, Haley’s parents, and now Steve and Haley all share an anniversary. I went to Charleston to photograph, a couple whom all I knew about them was she was a lovely dancer, and Steve was a handsome officer in the Coast Guard. The two people I met are inspiring. Their determination, their passion for life, and their love for one another are a joy to be around. I love how they are both so family oriented, and I especially love, that I got to play with Kingston their rescue pup for photos twice. <3 I could go on and on about Haley and Steve’s wedding, starting with how her mom searched high and low for all the antique eclectic china patterns for probably a year, or how her mother made her veil, or her grandmother making the skirt for her walk down the aisle. Then there is also the fact that the venue is Steve’s family home, nestled beautifully in Southern Maryland right on the water. Did I mention their Mama Mia dance led by Haley and her 85 year old grandmother?? To cap it off we have an epic send off of fireworks and a boat departure. What an amazing night, what an amazing couple and family. Congratulations you two! I am so thrilled to share these photos, and these memories with you all.
