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!

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:

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!

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.

This couple definitely embodies my ideal clientele. They are a “true, authentic couple” and I was honored to be a part of their day. Amy and Craig said “I do” and broke the glass at an intimate wedding ceremony at the Woodend Nature Sanctuary this July! Also known as the Audubon Naturalist Society, this wedding venue is perfect for a couple that loves the outdoors. Given that Amy & Craig are active hikers, runners and bikers, this location was a no brainer!

Well, it FINALLY happened.. I had a couple select this dream location for their engagement photos! CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE THIS PLACE EXISTS!? Jess and Zimri are my idea of the perfect clients- adventurous, hilarious and super in love. When I suggested the inside of a clocktower, they jumped at the chance to explore someplace new.
