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.

United States Naval Academy Wedding | USNA Wedding | Annapolis Wedding Photographer | Courtney and Eddie

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

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.

Annapolis Engagement | Maryland State House and Fleet Street Engagement | Katie and Danny

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!

Woodend Sanctuary Wedding | Maryland Summer Wedding | Amy and Craig

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.

Clock Tower Engagement | Baltimore Wedding Photographer | Jess and Zimri

Every year, I have a handful of Baltimore brides looking for engagement locations. I have comprised a list of my favorite Virginia, DC and Bucket-List locations so it would only make sense that I would create a Baltimore list! Here are my favorite places to shoot engagement sessions in Maryland.

Baltimore Engagement Locations | Couples’ Education

Dana contacted me a few months ago about capturing her and Malcom’s wedding.. she actually found me through a Charm City Wed feature! This couple was extremely adorable and it really felt like hanging out with old friends. Malcom was cracking Dana up the whole session-even as we fought through the spring snow! Yes, that’s right, I said “spring snow”. They were both such troopers for our sunrise session at Fells Point in Baltimore. Good thing this pair likes the cold!

Fells Point and Federal Hill Baltimore Engagement | Dana and Malcom

 This wedding was the most unique of the season! Morgan and Jeff did everything they wanted to do their way for their day. They decided that the most important part of a wedding day is celebrating their love with the people that support them most: their closest friends and family. They tied the knot on a super moon Sunday this November at Woodend Nature Sanctuary in Washington, DC. Even the venue was intentionally in theme. Morgan and Jeff had a green wedding: all vendors and products were environmentally friendly. They ever had Vegan treats by The Red Bandana baking company!
