Jessica & Dave's Wedding

The morning of Jessica and Dave's wedding began with gorgeous cloudy skies and continued throughout the evening for a perfect setting for a backyard reception complete with the perfect white tent, hundreds of pumpkins, and mums galore on her Aunt and Uncle's beautiful property.

I had the talented Erica Hamilton second shooting for me, and along with my mom, we came up with some of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. I owe the bridal party a great big thank you for hanging in with us while we set up an amazing bridal party portrait in the same rocks where we took Jessica & Dave's engagement session. It was definitely worth the work for a gorgeous photo! 

Jessica had a stunning gown, and as her mom, sister, and her put on the finishing touches, she glowed with excitement to marry her best friend at his childhood church just a few miles away. I loved the bridesmaid dresses and how the colors of the flowers popped against the yellow and orange fall leaves on the trees. They left no detail out in the planning of the perfect wedding day. Dave's brother and best man, Matt, had a hawk fly in to deliver his speech. Jessica & her girls choreographed  a dance to "Call Me Maybe" that was hilarious and had everyone up on their feet taking photos and watching Dave's reaction.

I'm so excited to share some highlights from this very special wedding day. Congratulations Jessica & Dave! I hope you had an amazing time in Moorea and I hope you love these images!!!

Brooke's Senior Portraits

It was a perfect morning last Sunday for Brooke's senior portraits. We started in the backyard of her home with some beautiful outfits and great backgrounds. I had asked her mom to pick out an urban spot for us to take some of her ballet photos, and she did not disappoint with finding the perfect location! Brooke is an extremely talented ballerina where she attends school at the Baltimore School for the Arts. I was so excited to show her beauty and elegance. They are some of my favorite images of all time!
Brooke - thank you for being such an amazing model! I hope you love your photos, and I can't wait to share the rest of the image with you!

Gayle & Ron's Engagement Session

We spent a gorgeous fall afternoon at the courthouse in Towson for Gayle and Ron's engagement portraits. The Towson area is special to them and I'm so glad they suggested the location because it gave us so much to work with for our backgrounds. They couldn't stop smiling and laughing as we took photos - I can tell their wedding is going to be amazing. They are so much in love and it shows!
Thanks for braving the wind and missing the very beginning of the Raven's game for these photos. I think it was worth it! Hope you love them!

Jessica & Dave's Engagement Portraits

The rain held off for us on our adventure to scout locations for Jessica & Dave's upcoming wedding. I kept telling them that cloudy days are perfect for photography, and I think it shows in the images. We got to play around with ideas and get to know each other even more as we chatted about their big day. I can't wait for their wedding in October ~ they have such exciting things planned and we have the best spots picked out for perfect portraits on her aunt's property and the surrounding areas.
Jessica & Dave ~ I hope you LOVE these photos and get even more excited about your wedding day! You two are great models, and I can't wait to spend the day with you!!!
