THE WAY I CAN’T WAIT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS ONE. Kelly + Connor were finally, epically, wonderfully married this past weekend at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Beach House Ballroom and I have been looking forward to this wedding for so long! To say it lived up to the expected hype is the understatement […]

Joe + Kathleen’s lakefront engagement session at Centennial Park in Ellicott City, MD comes to you, and to me, at the perfect time: the Thomas Fam is officially on vacation time! Kathleen and Joe picked this gorgeous location, and shooting lakeside felt like a great warm up to our upcoming lake vacation. My current plans […]

I’m just thrilled to share Genevieve and Cade’s summer wedding at the Irvine Chapel at Mercersburg Academy with you today! It’s been a while since I photographed a wedding here, and it turns out that clean stone backdrop of a timeless Gothic-style chapel never gets old. Genevieve and her girls got ready for the day […]

Charity and Austin were married in the most romantic outdoor ceremony at Bowling Brook Mansion in Keymar, MD and I’m here to tell ya all about it! This was just the sweetest day – babies and children running around everywhere, family helping to set up, decorate, touch-up, and deck out the getaway car truck. Charity […]

I met Margarette and Kevin at Greenbrier State Park in Boonsboro, MD for their engagement session last week but there’s a little more to it. Now because I love a good story and I know you do, too, I’ll tell you what happened. We rescheduled once because their first date was smack in the middle […]

Rachel and Will showed up to their engagement session in 100-degree heat with nothing but good attitudes and happy hearts, and that tells you everything you need to know about them. Pure joy from start to finish, I can’t wait to share this one with you! We originally had this session scheduled for an earlier […]

I’m so thankful I had a front row seat to Matthew and Emily’s southern-inspired, colorful wedding at Dulany’s Overlook in Frederick, MD! As a 14-year wedding photographer, I can tell you that the weather report is never the whole story. Rain was in the forecast all day. And I mean all day. But somewhere between […]

As a Westminster Maryland wedding photographer, some weddings just hit you right in the feels. This one was one of them! Danielle has been our next-door neighbor since she was fifteen years old. When we moved to Gettysburg, she came right over to introduce herself and she’s been part of our lives ever since. I’ve […]

As a Frederick, MD wedding photographer for 14 years, I’ve had the chance to photograph weddings at so many incredible venues in Frederick County. I’d be hard pressed to choose a favorite, they’re all so different in how they feel and the vibe it gives as the backdrop to your wedding day. The venue you […]

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, […]

Chelsea and Jeffrey were married at Dulany’s Overlook in Frederick, Maryland, and this one was a full sensory experience from start to finish. Mint green, lavender, and the most lush florals I have seen in a very long time set the tone for a day. I have to send some love to Blossom + Basket […]

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 […]
