Where do I begin with Jess & Zimri!? This couple is just so authentically in LOVE. When you spend time with these two there isn’t a moment without laughter and side jokes to one another! Not only are they a fun-loving couple, Jess & Zimri have the most laid back attitude.

It’s weird to say that I don’t know if I have ever photographed two people so in love. Every single photograph of these two during candid moments was of them smiling and giggling to each other. When you spend even five minutes around Melissa and Calvin, you just know that they relax one another. They both feel like a deep breath of air to their counterparts.

Katie & Taylor’s wedding touched my heart. I’ve known the Quinn family for over a decade so it’s surreal to watch a childhood pal walk down the aisle to marry the love of her life. Good food, great music & a sword exit all added up to one incredible wedding. Katie was the most laid back bride I have ever had. She and Taylor made their planning easy by getting married at their Alma Mater, The Naval Academy, and had their reception at Brittland Manor, almost exactly on the anniversary of her sister Colleen’s wedding that took place at the exact same location! The only thing Katie truly wanted was a big pizza party where everyone had a blast!

United States Naval Academy Wedding | Brittland Estates Wedding | Katie and Taylor

It’s difficult to put into words how much I adored this couple. It’s also hard to believe the only day I had ever met them in person was on wedding day! Ellie & Greg are insanely down to earth. While the two live in the most intense, high paced city in the world (New York) they could not be more opposite of the tense city vibe.

This was my second magical engagement with this couple. You only get engaged once but who says you can only have one engagement session? Kathy had a super unique vision to create studio magic for her engagement party décor and then have a more natural outdoor session where they met and fell in love.

Courtney and Eddie are two people who just deserve to be married. Because of Eddie’s commitment to our country, these two have put miles on their relationship. They have Skyped and bought expensive plane tickets for years all over the states including Florida, DC and now finally are settled in their new home in North Carolina.

Every year, I have couples ask me where to tie the knot! To try to help out, I decided to make a list about the Best DC Wedding Locations and it was such a hit that I decided to turn it into a little series. Here are my favorite rustic Northern Virginia Wedding Venues and below are my favorite Maryland wedding venue favorites:

Best Maryland Wedding Venues | Maryland Wedding Photographer | Couples Education

It is quite scary how long I’ve known the Quinn family. I’ve known Katie, Colleen and Meghan through swimming ever since I can remember. It is crazy to me that time has flown by such that I will be photographing Katie’s wedding this May! Katie and Taylor met at the Naval Academy and beat the odds of having a long distance relationship. They were stationed in different states but will be finally moving to San Francisco together as husband and wife!

Brookside Garden Engagement Session | Maryland Wedding Photographer | Katie and Taylor

I know what you’re thinking.. ‘These are the raddest engagement photos ever.’ Given my long history with this bride, I knew her engagement photos would be less than typical and super creative/fun. Jen & Perry wanted photos out of the ordinary ‘nuzzling in a park’. A costume engagement just fits them so perfectly.

This was my first time ever shooting in Annapolis! After much internet stalking, I decided that the Maryland Statehouse and Fleet Street were the quintessential spots for an Annapolis engagement session… and boy was I right! We started at the center of town and wandered around the stunning white columns of the house on the hill.
