BEHIND THE SCENES 2015

BEHIND THE SCENES 2015

What a year this has been! I transitioned into a full time wedding & family photographer, shot 23 weddings with my amazing husband, shot a destination engagement in St John, shot a destination wedding in Mexico, experienced our first triple header, and did over 25 family shoots.

The final wedding of 2015 was a success! Melanie and Nick tied the knot on the beach at the Iberostar Paraíso Lindo in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It was warm and sunny as they exchanged vows becoming husband and wife!

Meg & Andrew are married!! These two tied the knot in the DC War Memorial with their friends and family cozy under the marble roof. It was drizzling a bit during their first look and ceremony but that didn't stop these two from having the best day of their lives!

Meghan and I have been good friends for over 10 years! I was so excited when she asked me to shoot her and Paul's wedding next fall. For their engagement shoot we started in their neighborhood with their adorable pups Dublin and Britain.

Oh how I love fall weddings! There was a gorgeous orange and red tree at Turf Valley and it was glorious for the bride & groom portraits. Megan and Adam tied the knot outside under the willow trees with family and friends in attendance.

Nina & Zach's wedding at Elkridge Furnace Inn was one for the books! Not only have they known each other since they were eight years old but they had birds at their ceremony! The groom loves birds so Nina's gift to Zach was having a hawk fly the rings to the best man during the ceremony!!

I always love doing shoots for Ravens players! Crockett Gilmore and his beautiful fiancée Hayley were no exception. We did their engagement shoot in downtown Baltimore the day of the hurricane! Luckily, it didn't start raining until the very end of the shoot.

Leah and Chuck met at a bar called "No Way Jose" (so crazy!) several years ago and are now husband and wife! They tied the knot at Stone Manor Country Club in Middletown, Maryland with lots of happy tears. Emotional grooms are my favorite!!
