I love elopements. They are my very favorite kind of wedding experience to capture. People who elope? They just get it. It’s not about the pomp & circumstance and decor and food and party (but those things are awesome… don’t get me wrong). A wedding is really about celebrating and creating a united love. When Rehana […]

Back in June 2011, we met the May family when we captured Sarah + Dan’s wedding at Moonstone Manor. Little did we know their wedding film would turn out to be one of our most popular and beloved, which we know has so much to do with the warmth, emotions and romance that overflowed on […]

Back in April 2012, I hosted an indie wedding show down in Baltimore. My dear friends, Jill & Ryan (With Love & Embers), & I decided to throw a contest with the chance to win a free wedding photo package by them and a cinema package by us. The contest entry guidelines were no simple […]

Sometimes, if you’re really lucky, you get a couple who instantly clicks with you within the first email. Anna & Matt were this couple for us. Anna’s first email went something like this – “I think I NEED you at our wedding. Just saying.” Maybe I’m a weird (yes) writing nerd (totally yes) but Anna’s […]

This wedding was a truly personal, special one for me. Jordan & Nate & I went to Catholic school together for nearly all 12 years. Though we weren’t in the same grades, Jordan and I shared a photography class or two together and in high school, the three of us rocked it out in marching […]

It’s a wonderful thing when a wedding day is totally representative of a couple and that’s exactly how I felt about Patricia & Jon’s big day. Patricia & Jon are one of those couples I could hang with for hours. They are so chill & laid back and have such a real, beautiful grasp on […]

Let’s just start with this question: How many people do you know who got hitched on Leap Day? None? Same here, until Adriene & Kyle, that is. I’m not even sure that it gets much cooler for a wedding than to hold it on a date that only actually exists once every four years. Every […]

Time and time again, we have said that music & music loving people are some of our very favorite things. When Tara first reached out to me about capturing her wedding to Andy last year and sent back an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper filled with musicians and artists they loved, I knew it […]
