It is unusual, but I have nothing except thanks for our early March weather and the day of this session was no exception. Sunshine, a couple of clouds and perfect for ditching the coats. It was also perfect for wandering around Mt. Vernon with the love of your life (and if there happens to be a photographer stalking you just ignore her). K&A did a great job of that and we had fun sneaking in and out of some great spots in the neighborhood. Enjoy!
I love when couples get personal and creative and this wedding is an example of both. Inspired by her favorite Jo Malone fragrances and the sport that brought them together, Tina choose a sophisticated black and white palette and amazing design work of MLC Design Studio to make her tennis idea super chic. From invitations to the candy bar at the end of the night every detail worked together and complimented the beautiful and classic surroundings of The Belvedere Hotel in Baltimore. Not to be held back by the chilly winter weather, white flowers were everywhere and Flowers and Fancies provided a pop of red for the bridal party with roses so amazing I almost thought they were fake. Enough gushing, check out the wonderfulness for yourself.
I could not have said it better than the post at Invitation Crush about Erin and Bryan’s wedding invitations, elegant with a modern twist is a perfect way to describe them. You can see how well their design compliments the look of their wedding at Antrim 1844 with the wrought iron table that made up the background and Erin’s birdcage veil with the fan style program. Congratulations to Erin on this awesome feature, she designed them herself. Love all my amazing and talented couples!
This engagement session was supposed to be all about the sunflowers, as it turned out it was all about the honeybees. I am so glad to have had such good sports in L & JD, even if the bees were too busy with the flowers to pay us much attention, it is not every couple who will stand in the line of fire for a great shot. I really can’t blame either the bees or my couple, the flowers were beautiful. It is as close to Tuscany as I am getting this year and it was so much fun. Congratulations you guys, I can’t wait for your wedding in November!
With all the beautiful fall colors on their way, I had to post a little inspiration from last year. This is the kind of visual that gets me as a photographer so excited as everything becomes a part of the look and atmosphere for the wedding. The light, the leaves and the sweetness of this couple made their wedding fantastic and with a new addition on the way they had a lot to celebrate, it was real joy to be there.
I just loved the style and design of this wedding, on its own it was beautiful and when coupled with a space like Pazo it created an elegant, warm and sophisticated foundation for the entire event. The lofty ceiling and huge windows let in lots of light and made all the different seating areas and cozy corners, decorated with flowers from Simply Beautiful Flowers, great places to eat some delicious food and yummy Graul’s cake. The bride and groom were so happy and I think the only thing that they were more excited about than the wedding was each other, so cute!
This bride and groom were a perfect fit for the vintage charm of Antrim mansion, every detail blended beautifully and the sultry summer day went great with drinks on the lawn and dancing all night. E&B radiated joy and you could tell they were over the moon for each other. The sweet secret notes that they shared to start the day were only the beginning of the celebration with their families and friends. I just love the love, congratulations!
I had such an amazing time with J&D at their engagement session in Hunt Valley. My father-in-law has been fixing up this fantastic VW and I had to steal it for what I am sure will not be the first time. There are few things more fun than driving around the countryside in summer with the top down. It was the perfect atmosphere for our shoot and fit right in at The Filling Station. I think this is just the right tone to set as I start sharing all the great images that have been building up during a busy wedding season. I can’t wait for their wedding in October!
It has been a crazy summer of weddings and sessions and I have been trying to get some of my favorites up on the blog for weeks. K&M’s beautiful wedding at Grey Rock Mansion is one of them, not only for their fantastic and unique color scheme, but also because they were such a fun couple and so excited to get married. It was a traditional summer day in Baltimore with 100 degree temperatures that went perfectly with the calypso band playing at the ceremony and the tropical color of the flowers from Flowers and Fancies. From their first glance to the sparklers at the end of the night it was an event to remember.
MB & S were a pleasure to work with from day one and I think these images give a good example of why. They were all smiles from putting on the dress to cutting the cake and you could tell that it was an amazing day for both of them. Annapolis was the perfect location for this fun Navy couple and the colors and details highlighted all the things that were special to them.
