Cameron and Kelsey are married!! It was a romantic and beautiful summer afternoon as these two said, “I do” under the weeping willow trees at Pond View Farm. Cameron and Kelsey shared a sweet First Look and were full of joy when we were taking their portraits. The slate blue bridesmaid dresses and poppy flowers in the bouquet made for simple and classic details. Kelsey’s mom also hand-cut all of the circular menus on the plates and designed the craft beer sign! It was an amazing day!
Leo & Jessica {William Paca House in Annapolis, MD}
This was a wedding for the books! Jessica and Leo tied the knot at the beautiful William Paca House in downtown Annapolis on a warm summer day. First they shared a First Look at the statehouse before meeting their bridal party at the venue. The entire day Leo and Jessica were laughing with each other and had the best day becoming husband and wife. They were a joy to photograph!
Daniel & Jamie {Herrington on the Bay in North Beach, MD}
Lloyd & Maddy | Engaged {Downtown Canton in Baltimore, MD}
Maddy and Lloyd, I hate to say it, but your pup Melvin was the star of the show in your engagement session! We were watching the forecast all week for this session and thankfully the rain decided to stay away. We walked around Canton near the water and Melvin was all smiles. After taking pictures downtown, we finished the session at Sherwood Gardens! Even though all the tulips had finished blooming, the flower bushes were still showing off their beautiful colors.
Steven & Gina | Engaged {Downtown Annapolis in Annapolis, MD}
Steven and Gina got engaged last summer and they are getting married in 2020! They love visiting downtown Annapolis so it was the perfect location for their engagement session. After we took some photos downtown, we went to Quiet Waters Park to take a few pictures with their pups. They are adorable!
Christopher & Lindy {The Elkridge Furnace Inn in Elkridge, MD}
Chris and Lindy are MARRIED!! The forecast was calling for rain and they were nervous they would have to have the ceremony inside, but it decided to clear up right before Lindy walked down the aisle! When these two are together they are in their own little world and it is beautiful to watch. They had a morning wedding which meant it was only fitting to have brunch for lunch! The custom omelet and pancake/waffle bar was delicious. It was an amazing wedding!
Matty & Angel {2640 Space in Baltimore, MD}
Angel and Matty are MARRIED! Our first wedding of the year and it was a unique and beautiful day.

The two pups walked down the aisle in adorable little dresses. They were so excited to see their humans become a family!
Josh & Hannah {Patapsco Valley State Park in Ellicott City, MD}
Josh and Hannah are getting married!! It felt like it was yesterday that I shot his brother Caleb’s wedding and Josh and Hannah were dating. These two love spending time outdoors together so Patapsco Valley State Park was the perfect location for their engagement session. It was a gorgeous day and a beautiful session.
Jake & Hayley | Engaged {Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, MD}
There is so much love and joy between these two. While they were dating the were long distance and would cross the bridge to visit each other. This made Sandy Point State Park the perfect spot for their engagement session! It was a little chilly, but they didn’t care. They are so happy to be together and can’t wait to get married!
Payton's Second Birthday! {Sesame Street}
I still can’t believe Payton will be TWO this week! She has a few different TV shows she likes, but recently she has loved Sesame Street. So I thought it would be fun to throw her an Elmo birthday party! Rachel and I had fun pinning lots of ideas and creating our favorites. There is nothing like using cheap materials to make something adorable! As the weeks went by and more decorations for the party were added to the kitchen table, Payton would see them and say, “Elmo birthday!” It was so cute.
Best of 2018 | Weddings
The last of our 2018 favorites! Each of these weddings were very different from each other but all incredible in their own way. I love seeing the way each of the couples display their style through their wedding details, colors, and decor! This is just the beginning of their love stories, and it was an honor to capture each one. It was also wonderful to work with each of their families! We continue to add new friends to our AGP couples each year and it makes our job such a blessing.
Best of 2018 | Engagements
Chris & Jo | Engaged {Washington D.C.}
Jo loves the winter so she was excited to do her engagement session with Chris in December! However, it was 32 degrees and freezing outside the day we did their photos. But they were naturals behind the camera even in the cold. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next November! Chris and Joe have such a sweet relationship and the joy between them couldn’t be more evident.
Behind the Scenes 2018!
This is always such a fun post to put together! I love looking back over the year and re-living all the sweet moments at each wedding through the images. I was pregnant this entire wedding season which made things interesting! As my belly grew each month, guests loved to make comments and give advice at each wedding. It was always entertaining!
Christian & Chelsea | Engaged {Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, MD}
This was my first photo session since having Hallie and it was the most beautiful fall day! Christian and Chelsea enjoy visiting Quiet Waters Park so it was the perfect spot for their engagement session. Chelsea’s parents also got married at the cute gazebo overlooking the water that you will see in the photos. It was so sweet!
