Weddings

It has been crazy pants busy season over here as I finish up editing the last of my fall weddings, shoot and edit a couple of engagement and family portrait sessions each week, finalize plans for next year’s first few weddings and juggle my family’s own holiday fun with oodles of holiday client orders. But as I finish up … See More

I make no secret of the fact that toasts and tributes are one of my most favorite parts of a wedding day to photograph. It is one of the only aspects of the wedding over which the couple has absolutely no control and they are often truly surprised, delighted, amazed and moved by the words of their closest friends … See More

Jessica + Josh met their freshman year at Yale, where he was studying mechanical engineering and she was a pre-med student. After traveling in the same social circles for several weeks, they also began to study together. Josh was taking level I Spanish and asked Jess, an accomplished Spanish speaker, for some help. After several weeks of tutoring, “Jess … See More

Julien + Thomas were married on one of the hottest days of one of the hottest months on record in Baltimore. It was stiflingly hot and humid and steamy under the midday sun when I met them outside Pazo Restaurant (now called Bar Vasquez). In their dapper dark suits and purple vests, they both had several layers of dark clothing to … See More

It rained cats and dogs *during* Emily + Lou’s engagement session. We hid out under the thick trees of Federal Hill Park during the worst of it and then emerged for the drizzle and subsequent sunset. As I print schedules and reformat memory cards for their George Peabody Library wedding today, I couldn’t help looking back at and sharing … See More

So when Theresa first met Stephen and told her mother about him, Nancy picked up the phone and called her longtime friend to ask whether … See More

Oh what a lovely afternoon Emily + Drew and I had in New York City for the first of their two engagement sessions. Because they were living in NYC when they met and fell in love, they wanted to include Manhattan in some of their photos. As I pack gear and print schedules for their Corpus Christi Church and … See More

Julien + Thomas exchanged vows on one of the hottest, steamiest days of last month in Baltimore. Still, they were happy to duck outside for a few quick photos with a little of the city and a little nature. As I work on the full collection of photographs from their wonderful wedding at Pazo Restaurant, I couldn’t resist sharing … See More

Jessica decided that she wanted a puppy — the world’s cutest, fluffiest, most darling labradoodle, to be specific — instead of an engagement ring. So it was only fitting that she and Josh included Finley in their engagement photos. As I pack up gear and print schedules for their Peabody Library wedding today, I couldn’t resist looking back at … See More

I met Theresa + Stephen through his brother, Joseph, whose wonderful wedding to Jenny I photographed several years ago. So I was delighted and honored when Theresa e-mailed me to see if I was available for their wedding date. We didn’t meet until her wedding day — just a few minutes before she walked down the aisle toward Stephen, … See More
