Photography by Brea

Photography by Brea We are a team of weirdos who love what we do, creating unique photos, capturing genuine moments. This business is the happiest accident of my life.

What started as a hobby turned into my life’s mission. The most important thing in our short time on this planet is connection – and it’s the greatest honor of my life to be able to connect with so many amazing people and through my camera be able to show them how they love and how they are loved. After over 300 weddings and nearly a decade of this business, you’d think shooting weddings every wee

kend would get old. And there was a time that I was starting to feel that way… but that’s when I realized I was doing it wrong. Weddings aren’t about flowers and chair covers. They’re about people. This is the one time in your life everyone you love will be in one room. Each wedding is unique because the dynamic between each couple and each family is unique. That’s pretty f**king cool. When I’m not photographing weddings, I am a rock climber, scuba diver, glass blower ( on instagram), ukulele player, world traveler, and cat mom to Sherlock ( on instagram). During the winter, I teach a video class at the Sheffield Institute of the Recording Arts and I love having a positive impact on my students. Everything I love to do challenges me personally and makes me a stronger person. I feel the most alive when I feel connected to this beautiful planet and the people on it.

The beautiful weather lately has meant that in addition to having a lot of outdoor sessions, I’ve also been going for a lot of walks to break up the editing and computer work days. This spot is my favorite place to walk to… down the road from our home, and the park where my husband and I were married 🥰

I love that I got to share this special place with Victoria and Ryan for their engagement session last year. It’s a bit of a hike for my MD couples but I promise if you want to come up here, we’ll make it worth it ;)

Alexis and Daniel’s engagement session at Glen Echo Park (U.S. National Park was such a fun one! These two have been together since 2014 and their connection made every photo feel effortless. So excited to share more from this gorgeous night on the blog.

It’s been a really wonderful spring of proposals! A few weeks back I had the honor of capturing the moment that asked to marry him. It was so beautiful and emotional and I loved capturing portraits for them afterward, they were both beaming with joy!

Congratulations, Wendy and Paul, and here’s to a lifetime of love!

Hardeep planned the most thoughtful surprise proposal at the Baltimore Museum of Industry — a private Linotype demonstration that ended with a custom print asking Julissa to marry him. It was so, so special. Highlights on the blog!

This past weekend, I had the honor of capturing the most unique and thoughtful proposal I’ve yet seen. Hardeep got the idea last year when they visited the museum on a date day and toured the print shop. He reached out to the museum, and they made it happen! The Baltimore Museum of Industry has [....

Last weekend was so special, today is a double blog day! First up, Zena and Nima's engagement session at Glen Echo Park. We had so much fun and I can't wait to do it all over again for their wedding later this year!

I’ve wanted to photograph a wedding or engagement session at Glen Echo Park since I started shooting weddings in 2012. Somehow, it took until NOW for that to finally happen. When Zena and Nima reached out about their wedding this fall, I got so excited that I might finally get my chance to photogr...
