Before the early morning rays had touched the Smokey Mountains, Megan, Craig & I journeyed from Asheville through an hour & a half of winding gravel roads in the pitch dark. Aside from being slightly questionable as far as safety & sanity might’ve been concerned, the lack of sleep was worth the view of stars […]

As Lorena & Patrick held hands under a vibey Italian stone pergola draped in climbing wisteria vines, their officiant opened with the famous When Harry Met Sally quote “when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible”. […]

Offbeat & non-traditional spins on weddings light me up. By the end of the day, you two are going to be married so plan details that excite you. Sometimes it seems like there’s some looming mystic manual of wedding day rules, but in reality there ISN’T. Bring your personalities to life in the details by […]

Well what a grand weekend, indeed. While flying home from Maine with our pile of Maryland friends after sending off one of our own to be married, I couldn’t help but reminisce over the past 5 years. After I graduated college I moved to Maryland where Hunter & I got to be a part of […]

Epic jagged mountain views, warm amber sunflares beaming under a cloud, vegan vortex donuts, & a hawt couple down for an adventure – now that’s what my dreams are made of. Addy & Andy & I drove in from Asheville where they were visiting for the weekend to celebrate Addy’s birthday. We nestled in this […]

Yeah that title just about sums all of this radness up. Rewinding a year & a half ago, I met Alexa & Kyle for an in-home session in their cozy Baltimore rowhome. We drank coffee, snuggled their adorable ragdoll Trippy (who I’m convinced is related to our ragdoll Keo), and dreamed of their future travels […]

In September of 2017, Hunter & I sold a camera flash on Craigslist to a stranger. Well, here we are two years later and that stranger (we now call him Aaron) has indeed become quite a friend. In those two years we’ve crossed paths almost every Sunday at church, geeked out over photography (Aaron is […]

Asheville has quickly become one of our favorite cities, feeling both excitingly new & comfortably home. The fresh mountain air, hikes with expansive views, quirky & art-filled local culture, never-ending delicious meals, & vibey craft breweries make every adventure to this town worthwhile. Adding to the sweetness, this past Friday in the Fields of Blackberry […]

On the first crisp autumn day of the year, I journeyed up to good ‘ole Philadelphia to hug two sweet, caring folks & take a bunch of pictures while they got married. Rachel & Brian’s wedding was entirely picturesque, from the Center City hotel room views to the nature-lover’s dream that is the Morris Arboretum. […]

I met up with Brianna & Mike on a crisp fall evening to explore the moody goodness of the Clipper Mill area in Baltimore. Flowing right in line with their laid-back industrial urban wedding vibes, we climbed around the lot & found cool new pockets for photo spots. I definitely never stopped smiling the whole […]

For their engagement session, RaeAnne & Kwame embraced all things fall at this apple-orchard-pumpkin-patch-christmas-tree farm. I’m now FULLY ready for the fall season to kick into high gear after all of this goodness. I even left with a bag of picked apples & apple cider donuts from Gaver Farm’s adorable homegrown barn shop. MEEP. We […]

This past weekend in the quaint, sailing town of Oxford, Maryland, Andrew & Megan gathered their family & friends under a tall sycamore tree to join in their marriage ceremony. And of course this included their rescue dog Ellie who trotted down the aisle with a legitimate smile on her face while wearing a eucalyptus […]

Allie & Jake’s wedding was a vision right out of my boho dreams. In a peaceful setting right out of a coffee table book, their wedding day was loaded with fun & good times. We had a literal field day roaming around Star Bright Farm’s 130 acres of inspiring organic land for portraits; frolicking through […]

With one heck of a vendor dream team, Kelly & Kyle’s wedding day this past Saturday was absolutely beautiful, smooth, and full of fun. What else could you ask for, right?? Kelly & Kyle chose the Chesapeake Bay Foundation as the gorgeous backdrop for their wedding not just for the knock-out combination of grassy fields, […]

Autumn is slowly bidding farewell, it appears. While the last of the colorful leaves hung on tightly against the chilly air, Amanda & Taylor walked their adorably energetic dog Mavis through Quiet Waters Park for their engagement session. We wandered through the leaf-covered pathways & down the canoe dock as far as Mavis would let […]

Last week I began a pretty rad adventure that took me from Charlotte, North Carolina to Asheville & then over the gulf to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. I hopped right off of the plane in Charlotte & kicked the trip off right with Emily & Jesse’s engagement session where we caught up, laughed off my […]

As pine trees fill our homes & Christmas songs fill our ears, ’tis the season to be jolly indeed. With a classy & elegant ode to the coziness of the holidays, Jenn & Tim celebrated their marriage with a rockin band, tables overflowing with luscious evergreens & berries, and epic views of the Chesapeake Bay. […]

The winter air seems to be making its way through these days, sending our cold noses indoors to warm up by the fire. As the cozy season kicks off, Amanda & Kris welcomed their loved ones inside a rustic wood-laiden barn filled with warmth & snuggly blankets to celebrate their union. From beginning to end […]

I’ve been dang excited for Sarah & Ted’s wedding. I never stopped laughing during their engagement session where we set out in a canoe in the cold weather & got mega close, so I knew their wedding day was going to be just as awesome. And it was. On a sunny brisk afternoon, Sarah walked […]
