• Shannon & Steve had a Marvel themed wedding that was done SO well. Each groomsmen was a different Marvel character & they each had speciality drinks that matched. They also had props for their portraits & matching cuff links! I also added in photos of the cakes because their dessert table was amazing. It’s hard to believe this wedding was last June! Oh what a year it’s been 🙃

  • I am in total disbelief that today is the last day of June 2020!! The past few months forced me to slow down, which was hard. When I left my day job in December I realized I had never worked one job (or did one thing) at a time in my life. In high school I worked multiple jobs and in college I worked on campus until I couldn’t stand washing pans in the dining hall anymore and went back to my part time job on the weekends in MD. That’s when I also grew this business by shooting all weekend. I would cram 6 sessions into one weekend just so I got to shoot. Once I graduated college I applied for the school system because I was so lost (I was going to move to the city but didn’t want to lose my business). I worked full time during the day and shot evenings and weekends. I did this all of 2019 too where I had 30 of my own weddings and countless weddings I second shot. But by the winter of 2019 my body couldn’t keep up. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. Losing the stability of a day job was terrifying. Sitting in the middle of the floor having panic attacks over it didn’t help. Having terrifying health issues was miserable. I DESPISE not being in control. Then quarantine hit and I was FORCED to stop. I do better when I’m busy but boy has it felt good for life to slow down. It hasn’t all been rainbows and butterflies as I’ve lost countless amounts of income and job security is a fleeting notion, but I’m trying to spin my negative thoughts into positive ones as summer is officially here - my favorite time of the year. I’m hoping you’re cherishing these warm summer slow days, masks and all 💛. Happy last day of June! PS, my backyard view doesn’t get better than this 😌

  • It’s hard to believe this day was over a year ago! Going through my phone and trying to part with photos is so terrible that I have about 17k of them on my phone 😱. Anyone else a photo hoarder? No? Just me?!

  • I TURNED 24 ON MONDAY! Monday didn’t really feel like my birthday but TODAY DID 😂. My aunt came up and we took pictures and walked around Gettysburg, grabbed lunch outside, and hung out. I’m in shock that I’m 24 and keep telling myself I need to get my life together and then I remember I’m ONLY 24 and we’re in the middle of a global pandemic.

  • These gorgeous rings with flowers were the backdrop of Madison and Collin’s ceremony and they went perfectly when displayed in the trees at their reception. Tip: use your flowers from your ceremony site as extra decor at your reception. Basically kill two birds with one stone...but not literally of course 🙃 .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #mdweddingphotography #marylandphotographer #weddingphotography #marylandweddingphotographer #paweddingphotographer #paphotographer #summerweddings #weddingseason #engagementsession #engagment #brideandgroom #bridalparty #bridalportraits

  • My best friend is MARRIED!!! I headed down to Annapolis on June 6th and captured these two cuties getting married! While their day was nothing like they had originally planned, it was perfect for them. I was so thrilled and honored to be their last guest and their photographer 😉. Plus I had NEVER taken their photos before, so this was extra special. Congratulations you two!!! 💛 more on my stories!!! . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #mdweddingphotography #marylandphotographer #weddingphotography #marylandweddingphotographer #paweddingphotographer #paphotographer #summerweddings #weddingseason #engagementsession #engagment #brideandgroom #bridalparty #bridalportraits #annapolismaryland #annapolisphotographer #annapolismd #annapolisweddingphotographer #annapoliswedding

  • When COVID-19 hit, I had a front row seat watching someone I love navigate changing her wedding plan. I could easily empathize with all of my couples because I knew first hand how hard the whole situation was because I was watching Laurel have to make changes. Not only did she move her big day to 2021 but we had to cancel her bridal shower and her bachelorette weekend. But thankfully MD opened up enough that couples could get marriage licenses and they could plan an intimate wedding (more on that later tonight!). The last weekend before her wedding date I threw a mini (me and her) bach/bridal lunch with charcuterie boards made by yours truly 😂. At that point in time I didn’t feel right to share on social media, but as we move forward I’m excited to share photos of her wedding and even more as summer weddings and engagements are officially in full swing!!!

  • It’s June 12th, which is Loving Day! If you don’t know what this is, it’s the celebration that marks the day that the Supreme Court struck down state bans on interracial marriages. The day is named after the case Loving vs. Virginia which was the case around Richard and Mildred Loving. In 1958 Mildred and Richard traveled to Washington, DC to get married. When they returned to Virginia they were arrested in the middle of the night for breaking the law and left the state. Their case was taken over and overturned on June 12, 1967 after Mildred wrote in to the Attorney General. So? Happy Loving Day friends!! 💛💛💛
