Kevin and Jessica's wedding was the perfect way to start our busy wedding month. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, the venue was beautiful, and the day went by so calm and smooth. Jessica was a beautiful bride and her wedding glow was radiating ❤️

The love between Jessica and Kevin is undeniable. They really are a couple that fit perfectly together and you can see that in every picture. Their love is definitely special and it will carry them through all that life has to offer.

It was really special to photograph Jessica and Kevin's wedding as they are friends. It is always an honor for friends to trust in us to photograph their most special days ❤️

My signal was spotty yesterday so I couldn’t get a post up but Jessica and Kevin’s wedding at Linganore Winery was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect kick off to this busy wedding month. Pictures will be coming soon 😍

Today, as we look back 20 years ago, most of us remember vividly what we were doing and how our lives changed this day. There are no words that will ever ease the pain so many remember. It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years.

Take a moment of silence to remember all of those who perished that day and the days since, and to remember all of the hero’s that stepped in to help, knowing very well they probably wouldn’t be going home. 💔🇺🇸

Mr. + Mrs. Perry
Ryan + Heather

Ryan and Heather are a perfect match. They compliment each other in so many ways and bring out the best in each other. They make each other happy; they care for each other; and they love each other more than words could describe. Their wedding day was unusually cold for May, but it was beautiful none the less ❤️

Jacob + Lydia

When Lydia & Jacob booked us over a year ago, we were so excited for their wedding. We met at a bridal show when I was walking around handing out my business cards. They seemed like such a fun and sweet couple, so I was thrilled when they booked us. Both Lydia and Jacob are actors so when it came time for their engagement pictures, there was no issue being in front of the camera. Their engagement pictures are some of my favorite we have ever taken so I knew their wedding would be no less amazing. Lydia and Jacob are definitely made for one another and I think these pictures show that amazing true love they have ❤️

Jordan + Hannah

The first time I met Hannah over a year ago, we instantly clicked. Since then, we had been looking forward to their wedding because I knew it would be absolutely perfect. The day before their wedding we had an insane wind storm and I prayed it wouldn't carry over to their day. God is always in control and sure enough, we had beautiful weather, with a nice breeze, and a day anyone could dream of.

The way Hannah & Jordan look at each other is something out of a fairy tale. Their calm, patient, happy, and listen to my crazy photo ideas as I'm herding cows over with music (see pictures 😉).

Hannah & Jordan kicked off our wedding season and I couldn't think of a better couple to do so ❤️

It’s a cold Saturday and I’m thinking about summertime ☀️

Who’s interested in Mommy and Me sessions?!

Every year I’ve wanted to do them but haven’t had time, so this year, I’m going to dedicate time!

I haven’t locked down my set up just yet but it will include a beautiful egg chair which means these sessions can also include babies.

They will be super comfy and cute 🥰
