real weddings + engagements

Amanda and Grant were married at Walker’s Overlook in Frederick, Maryland on a breezy late-spring afternoon in May. Light blue and black tie, private vows in front of the manor house, and a family tractor they drove right down Route 194 to have as the ceremony backdrop. This day felt so personal and so special, […]

Regan and Ian came to Rose Hill Manor Park in Frederick, Maryland for their engagement session on the sunniest, most golden afternoon and I could *not* have asked for a better time. I actually kind of love it when couples tell me right out of the gate that they aren’t photogenic, or they think they’ll […]

Laura and Ryan came to downtown Frederick for their engagement session on the most perfect golden hour evening, and we had an absolute blast from start to finish. Carroll Creek, Baker Park, warm late-day sunshine, and two wonderful people? Sign me up. We laughed the entire time (I mean take a look at these images, […]

Molly and Zack were married this spring in a two-venue celebration that started at Sacred Heart Basilica in Hanover, Pennsylvania and ended with a reception at The Lodges at Gettysburg in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Mint green florals, pops of pink and purple, a regency-style corset wedding dress, and more Pride and Prejudice references than I have […]

Emily and Don were married in Annapolis, Maryland this past April, with a ceremony at St. Mary’s Parish Church and a reception at Historic Inns of Annapolis’ Governor Calvert House, and honestly this day had everything a spring wedding should! Buttery yellow florals, soft green accents, perfect spring light, and two people who were so […]

I’m thrilled to share Anna and Carter’s Annapolis engagement session at the Maryland State House and Annapolis Waterfront with you! They brought such amazing chemistry, and we had pure joy and fun as we wove through downtown Annapolis. Sometimes the best love stories start with a little help — and in this case, Anna’s brother […]

What a perfect start to the spring wedding and engagement season – kicking it off with Molly and Alex’s downtown Baltimore engagement in Patterson Park! They’re getting married in Ohio, but Molly and Alex love their current season of life in Baltimore and wanted to document this sweet time there. Molly and Alex, you were […]

Well would you get a look at this incredibly glowy, gorgeous winter light we had for Maddie + Riley’s downtown Frederick engagement session!? Consider this my official campaign to make cold weather engagements a bigger thing in the wedding world. Sure, my fingers were moving a little slower on the camera buttons and we were […]

What a perfect morning for an epic Washington, DC engagement session! Yelena and Trever invited me to their big, beautiful backyard this past weekend and it was such a treat to cover so many of their favorite places – the National Gallery of Art, Union Station, the Library of Congress, and the cutest Capitol Hill […]

I cannot believe it’s taken me nearly 14 years as wedding photographer to photograph what was, quite literally, a big, fat, Greek wedding. That ends TODAY. Technically, it ended on October 18 when Kate and Chris got married in a Greek Orthodox ceremony, followed by dinner and dancing at Manor Country Club in Rockville, but […]

What a day at Glen Ellen Farm in Ijamsville, MD for Nicole and Colin’s wedding! I am just thrilled to share this beautiful, special day with you. These two came all the way from Iowa to celebrate. She’s from Chicago, he’s from Maryland, they met at PT school at the University of Iowa because not […]

Fall wedding season is officially upon us! I’m so excited for cooler weather, rich fall color palettes, and eating leftover soup while wearing my husband’s sweatshirt the day after a wedding, hunkered down in my house like a hooded, anti-social troll. But you have to earn your At Home Troll Day by working really hard […]

I have the sweetest, most intentional wedding at a Frederick favorite venue, Dulany’s Overlook, to share with you today so buckle up! I am currently feeling like the luckiest photographer alive to be in the thick of busy season during this random but totally welcomed week of fall temps – evenings in the 50s? In […]

Today’s post is coming to you with an explosion of pure, bubbling Baltimore sunshine – Kelly and Connor (and Millie! 🐾) showed me the best of Riverside this week for their engagement session. It’s no wonder these two fantastic people found each other – I think effervescent, positive people are drawn together like magnets in […]

Preston and Will left New York City behind for an incredible Eastern Shore weekend to celebrate their marriage in St. Michaels, MD! With a welcome party at The Crab Claw and The Galley, they kicked off their Maryland wedding weekend the only way you can – a crab feed with pitchers of ice cold beer […]

…or more aptly titled, “My Favorite Wedding Venues in Maryland.” After nearly fourteen years (!!!) as a Maryland wedding photographer, I think this blog post is long overdue! Today I’m sharing some of the best wedding venues from the mountains of Maryland to the beaches of the Eastern Shore. We have so many fantastic venues […]

We celebrated Dakota and Parker’s engagement by cashing in on one of these random 70 degree days in August for their session in Gettysburg. Absolutely no one was complaining about the cool breeze, zero humidity, and I worry I might be jinxing us by even mentioning it *fingers crossed.* We had the best time together, […]

Howdy and hello from the corner of my dining room where the entirety of Brittany Thomas Photography operates from one small desk, occupying no more than 12 square feet, 1 of which is reserved for multiple mugs/water bottles/melting iced coffee cups. We are currently in the middle of remodeling our basement from its former state […]

Preston and Will spoiled their guests all weekend long for their St. Michaels, MD wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and really, I think everyone should do this! It made the entire weekend feel absolutely luxurious, so much time for family and friends, and the perfect way to ease into a full day wedding. […]

What a day at Springfield Manor Edward and Lauren! These two picked the perfect date for peak lavender blooms, the front fields were absolutely bursting with color (and bugs! ask me about my shins!) and we had the field all to ourselves after the festival guests departed. A hot-hot-hot summer day turned into evening thunderstorms, […]

Wow, what an incredible weekend for Hannah + Steven’s wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club! After so many weeks of rain, the sun came out for the weekend and I’m so grateful because these two deserved a sunny, happy day. We kicked off Friday night with a welcome party at Carrol’s Creek Café in […]

What a sweet day for a couple of West Point kids to get hitched! After a whirlwind 3-month engagement (because when you know, you know) Meghan and Briggs were married at Union Mills Public House this past weekend in downtown Frederick. From our first Google Meet, I just adored Meg’s gentle manner and open mind, […]

I’m passionate about infusing cozy hospitality and warm humor into all pockets of my life, photography included. I remember what it was like to *be* a bride - wanting gorgeous images and a great day-of experience, but also needing my emails answered promptly as I planned! From the first email to the final sparkler exit, I make the juice worth the squeeze. Promise.
