Thanks Nick and Jessica for being amazing clients!

Emily and John have been incredibly patient in waiting for their blog preview. I have been out shooting a ton… before baby comes, and will be finishing up sessions this coming week until after baby! It has been super fun… and I still feel great, but am also excited to take some time to pull our nursery together and finish up some projects around the house… That is, if our baby girl decides to stay in my belly until her due date… We shall see!

Emily and John have been awesome to work with!! Such a sweet couple. We did their engagement session not too long ago in Canton. You can click here to view those photos.

Before sharing the photos, just wanted to share some of the incredible vendors who helped make their day so spectacular…

Florist and Decor: Intrigue Designs

Catering: Ken’s Creative Kitchen

Venue: Chesapeake Bay Foundation

We started photos at Emily’s house in Annapolis where she grew up….and then headed over to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation…. which by the way…is Gorgeous! What a great venue!

Emily looked gorgeous!!!

And John handsome….

Emily and John decided to do first glance… so we did almost all of their photographs beforehand…. such a perfect place to shoot! To see more of the photos of the day you can view the slideshow at the end of the post.

Adore!

Emily’s dad about to give her away….

I LOVE LOVE how they look at each other!

And just a few of the days details for you!

First Dance….

I love this shot… because sometimes a bride and groom are so busy talking to all of their guests (which of course is important!!) that I barely see them together at the reception. Emily and John were definitely able to do both… and I LOVE it!

They wanted to drive away in something a little less traditional…. and so they rented a MINI convertible! What a cute, cute idea! Not that I am biased to MINI’s or anything…. (We totally love ours!!)

Congratulations Emily and John! I hope that you had an absolutely amazing honeymoon!!! It was so wonderful to work with you  and your families!

I can hardly believe that June has already come and gone. It really seems like yesterday that I was in San Francisco for Erica and Paul’s Engagement session. You can view their engagement session by clicking here. I have to say… working with Erica and Paul has been such a wonderful experience. They are incredibly sweet…. they are some of the most genuine people that I have met. They have been so accommodating and  thoughtful throughout the entire process of working with them.

We started with getting ready photos up in Hunt Valley. Remember Melissa? She did Erica’s makeup.  And Erica looked stunning!

Before all of the photos, just thought I would mention some of the vendors who did a great job to make Paul and Erica’s day so special.

Venue: Grey Rock Mansion

Catering: Simply Elegant (Grey Rock Mansion)

Florist for Erica’s Bouquet: Crimson and Clover Floral Designs

Photobooth: Partybooth

Cake: Artistic Desserts

DJ: DZ Entertainment

Erica and Chester….

Some details from the day. Loved Erica’s Priscilla of Boston dress…  It was super romantic and summery. Perfect for a June wedding. And her jewelry was Ahhh-mazing!

Erica and Paul saw eachother before the ceremony. I just love, love, love First Glance! There are so many reasons why I love it as a photographer, but I also did it as a bride and loved it as well…. Definitely plan to blog about the benefits!

This is one of my favorites of the day! Love it! 

Erica had some fabulous details! Loved the colors and all the little touches she added to make their day so special. 

A quick pic of them in the photobooth! They used pics from the photobooth for their guest book. It is such a cute idea!

Erica carried a photo of each of her parents in the locket on her bouquet.

This I love, because I was just saying that for Jon and Megan’s wedding, I was kind of jealous that we don’t do the Horah… Now Erica and Paul didn’t actually do the Horah… but their friends did lift them on on their chairs. So fun!

Erica and Paul were so fun to watch. They were so cute and so excited to be married!  This photo sums it all up.

Erica and Paul, thank you for being such incredible clients. I hope that you had an AMAZING time in Italy!!!

The next wedding that I have to share with you is Erica and Paul who were married at the Grey Rock…. They are truly an amazing couple… and it was an amazing wedding! I am still working through the big blog post for them…. and took the long weekend off to enjoy with hubby…so needless to say, I didn’t finish the post, but didn’t want to leave you totally hanging.  Here is one of my favorites….

Right now they are honeymooning in Italy!!! Super jealous!

Come back to see their wedding details…. (you don’t want to miss them) and some cute recent engagement sessions!

Last weekend I had the honor to photography Patrick and Kat’s wedding. They got married at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in DC, and had their reception at the Strathmore Mansion in Bethesda.
