Living in DC, I’ve of course spent time in Baltimore here and there over the years.  But as I’ve had the opportunity to shoot there more, I’ve fallen more and more in love with Baltimore and it’s very obvious to me why they call it “Charm City!”  I had a great time with Carrie and Matt at their engagement shoot last fall, near the Baltimore harbor, and have been so looking forward to their wedding.  When we met at the Baltimore Museum of Industry a few weeks before the wedding, I thought maybe I’d died and gone to heaven – everywhere I looked, there was something offbeat and interesting!


Carrie & Matt were such a joy to work with and I think there wasn’t a dry eye under the pavilion during their ceremony.  Their celebration was definitely proof that a wedding can absolutely be fun and funky as well and warm, genuine and unique!  Kudos to Heidi, from Entertain Me Event Planning, for helping them to put it all together!


Carrie & Matt got ready with their friends and family at the Intercontinental Harbor Court Hotel.  Carrie’s dress was stunning – there was such gorgeous detail on the back – I’ll admit that I was a little obsessed with photographing it!

Carrie & Matt got to see each other for the first time in the garden at the American Visionary Art Museum.  They were so cute!

Then we ran up (ok, drove up) to Federal Hill Park for a fantastic view of the Baltimore skyline and a little fun on the swings

The ceremony, under the pavilion, was so fresh and harbor-ish feeling (obviously, harbor-ish is not a word, but you get the idea).  Carrie couldn’t take her eyes off Matt as she came down the aisle and Carrie’s mom was so sweet – she couldn’t hold the tears back!

Last weekend, I had such a blast photographing Jess & Tripp’s wedding at Prospect Bay Country Club. It was such a gorgeous day – the weather was absolutely perfect and the sun shone right down the fairway. They had a sunkissed ceremony and the reception, DJ’ed by Dennis Woo of Creative Deejays, was fantastic – the lights were so colorful and their guests really knew how to have a great time!

Jess & Tripp didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, but held hands around a solid door. They both got really emotional – it was so cute!

While reciting the vows she wrote, Jess had to just stop right in the middle and ask Tripp if he had a tissue icon smile Jessica & Tripp   Eastern Shore MD Wedding Photography

I am normally not big on “themed” weddings, but Crystal & Matt have shown me how great a theme can be when you do it right!
These two (you may remember their engagement session that I blogged in early May) just got hitched last weekend at the most oustanding location – the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay – right near the water! It was a beautiful day for July – slightly overcast with a great breeze off the bay.
Crystal is just absolutely gorgeous. The theme of the wedding was sort of a Hollywood-style vintage glam and it was fabulous! Crystal has amazing clear ivory skin and long, thick dark hair and she chose the most spectacular dress – she looked stunning.

The dress was white, but I love the pink shoes!!

Matt is such a ying to Crystal’s yang – he’s as cool as a cucumber! It’s tough to catch Matt in a full out grin, so when his groomsmen got him laughing, I had to grab it quick!

Crystal had MANY friends incorporated into her bridal party – she had both bridesmaids and “ceremony hostesses.” This shot was taken of her responding to a beautiful poem that one of her ceremony hostesses read aloud.

Apparently, when Crystal & Matt first met, Matt bet Crystal $20 that they would get married. Crystal took that bet, and here she is, paying up!

During the couple portrait time, they were absolutely fabulous! I just have to say – thank you guys! I mean really, how many brides are willing to lay down in a field of yellow flowers, go mini-golfing, climb into a swan shaped paddle boat and then play around on the beach?! It was excellent and we got such fantastic shots!
