Weddings

My favorite part of meeting Kara + Jason last summer to talk about their wedding was hearing them tell the story of how they met. They were at a Halloween party — she, dressed like a devil and he, in a 1930s mobster costume. They spoke for only two minutes. And Kara learned precisely three things about Jason. Yet … See More

Photographing the toasts and occasional roasts at weddings is one of my most favorite parts of the day. Not only do I often get to hear some fun stories about my clients from some of their closest friends and family members. But those moments also make for great photographs of honest, genuine emotion. It’s one of the only parts of the … See More

One of my most favorite parts of a wedding day are the toasts and tributes that a couple’s closest friends and family members offer in their honor during the reception. At Katy + Mike’s gorgeous Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore nuptials, his best man really knocked his toast out of the park. He first explained that there is one word … See More

I’m not sure I’ve seen a more elegant bride on her wedding day than Kara. Her gown was a knockout on the hanger. And when she put it on? Whoa. Just take a look at her father’s reaction to seeing her for the first time that day. It was like that all day, as everyone greeted her. As I … See More

Before our weather turned positively tropical, Stacey + Max had a perfectly gorgeous day for their wedding at the Baltimore Basilica and the Evergreen Museum + Carriage House. It was just hot enough that the lemonade passed during cocktail hour was a welcome refreshment. But not so stiflingly humid to prevent every last guest from spending every minute they … See More

There were so many wonderful moments during Courtney + Christopher’s wedding day at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Hotel that I feel like I’ve written this blog post about 100 times in my head. Their friends in the wedding party could not have been any more fun or any kinder to me. Their reception was full of beautiful details, … See More

With humidity levels routinely at their traditionally oppressive summer levels, it was a delight to look back at and remember the lovely brisk fall day last year when I met Kara + Jason in DC for their engagement session. Because Jason grew up in Florida where there is no fall foliage, he and Kara wanted to take advantage of … See More

It is the rare bride who would be unbothered by inclement weather on her wedding day, transportation breakdowns and traffic so bad that it delayed the ceremony. But that’s exactly Michelle. She and Mike just rolled with the punches and were nothing but a joy to be around through one glitch after another. It rained almost every time we had … See More

When Katy + Mike and I met on the day of their engagement session, Mike gave me a friendly but serious handshake. I was surprised a short while later when he burst into song, performing an array of boy band songs — complete with dance moves and a mimed microphone — to make Katy laugh and smile. At the … See More

Courtney + Christopher have an epically fabulous how-did-you-get-together story. It involves the McDonogh School and a Federal Hill bar and a six-hour first date. I’ll share more about that in a full blog post about their wedding. But as I work on the full collection of photographs, I couldn’t resist sharing a handful of favorites for them as a … See More
