Weddings

Helen once told me that she thought she and Jeff looked awkward in front of the camera. I respectfully but adamantly disagree. A lot. As I work on finishing up the full collection of their photographs from their beautiful wedding at Trinity Episcopal Church in Towson and the historic Belvedere, I couldn’t resist sharing a few favorites as a … See More

I had been looking forward to Erin + Andrew’s wedding since they booked me last year, in no small part because her mother refers to the bride and groom as The Kids and calls me honey or sweetie or some other darling nickname every time we talk. Their big day was just as much fun as I had imagined … See More

There wasn’t even a long-range forecast available for Caroline + Dan’s wedding day when her mom e-mailed me for umbrella advice. We had more than three weeks to go, but Patty was shopping for rain gear just in case there was inclement weather on the big day. “Do you have any suggestions in terms of what color umbrellas photograph … See More

Becca is an elementary school teacher. Chris is a scientist. Neither of them enjoys being photographed and Becca, in fact, said she usually hides from cameras. “We’ve been together six years,” she told me when we first talked by phone about their wedding, “and we probably have five photos of us in that time.” Working with them on their … See More

Becca + Chris had a sweet little wedding with 90 of their closest friends and family at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. And I *do* mean sweet.

So with a … See More

Filled with friends and family who traveled from seven countries and 16 states to celebrate Diane + Justin’s wedding, it came alive and brimmed with joy. As I work on the full collection of images for this oh so international couple, I couldn’t resist sharing a couple … See More

Lots of people say that they’re uncomfortable being the center of attention and being photographed. But Kathleen + Brayan really, *really* meant it. At our first meeting, Kathleen told me not only that her groom had googled whether he could get married in absentia but also that her sister photographs extremely well. “So maybe she could stand in for … See More

When I first arrived at Saint Ignatius Church on Grace + JD’s wedding day, I stopped by the sacristy to say hello to the groom. As I inquired about his day so far and admired his very dapper custom tuxedo, he seemed eager to interrupt me, despite being one of the most polite and gracious human beings I’ve ever met. … See More

I am crazy about my job whenever clients hire me to photograph their weddings and other special occasions in life. When those clients happen to be people whom I’ve known and adored for years, well, my cheeks ache at the end of those evenings from smiling so much. Such was the case when my fabulous next-door neighbor, Edie, hired me to … See More
